Chapter 160 Akikawa Sosuke's Judgment (22)

Akikawa Sosuke didn't know what was going on. He went to Kanagawa, a hundred kilometers away from Tokyo, to work, and unexpectedly met the Death God Elementary School Student again.

Because he didn't want to be recognized by Conan, Akikawa Sosuke chose not to take off the mask during the performance.

however.

After hearing the sirens downstairs this morning, Akikawa Sosuke guessed that another murder might have occurred.

Originally, Akikawa Sosuke felt that this murder case had nothing to do with him in any way.

But when he heard someone knocking on his door, he realized that his thoughts were too naive.

Since the suspicion has fallen on me, the deceased must be either an actor in the stage play or my own agent, Itakura Misaki.

The detective's subsequent remarks also confirmed that Akikawa Sorasuke's guess was correct.

The deceased is the actor of Kamen Rider - Kenji Furusawa.

What a coincidence, this person came to my room to see me last night.

"When I was chatting with Kenji Furusawa last night, I didn't see any signs from him that he wanted to commit suicide."

'So it was either an accident or another homicide?'

Akikawa Sosuke thought to himself, and then went downstairs with the detective who came to look for him.
-

Conan, who was secretly observing the corpse from the side, noticed someone walking down the stairs out of the corner of his eye.

He looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Then, after seeing Akikawa Sosuke who came down with the Kanagawa Prefectural Police, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

After listening to Akikawa Sosuke's self-introduction, Conan learned that Akikawa Sosuke was the actor who played the evil mask.

"Why is it this guy again?!"

"And what's wrong with this guy? Why does he kill people wherever he goes?"

"And it seems that every time it has something to do with the deceased or the murderer."

Just when Conan was complaining in his heart that Akikawa Sousuke's bad luck was comparable to that of Mouri Kogoro.

Suddenly he noticed Haibara Ai beside him. After seeing Akikawa Sosuke appear, his eyes were fixed on Akikawa Sosuke's face.

"What's wrong, Haibara? Why are you staring at that Akikawa?"

Conan asked.

"I always feel like this Akikawa Sosuke looks familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere before."

Huibara Ai looked hesitant and spoke softly.

After hearing Haibara Ai's complaints, Conan immediately understood.

"This Akikawa Sosuke is Miss Yoko's biological brother, so of course you will find him familiar."

Conan thought to himself.

It should be said that not only Haibara Ai, but most people in Japan should feel familiar with Akikawa Sosuke the moment they see him.

After all, her sister, who is related to Akikawa Sosuke by blood, appears on TV and in various advertisements almost every day.

After meeting Akikawa Sosuke, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Ayumi Yoshida
The two little guys had longing looks on their faces.

The former is because he likes Evil Mask, and the latter is simply because Akikawa Sorasuke is a handsome guy.

"Hey! You two!"

When Genta Kojima saw the expressions of Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Ayumi Yoshida, he immediately felt unhappy.

He used his fat body, which was at least twice as big as his peers, to block the sight of Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Ayumi Yoshida, and then frowned and said:

"Didn't you hear? This person is the evil mask!"

"He must be holding a grudge against Kamen Ultraman, so he killed him!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Ayumi Yoshida both looked speechless after hearing what Kojima Genta said.

"Is Yuan Taini an idiot? He's just an actor."

"Then he must have a motive for committing the crime! He might be jealous that Kamen Rider stole his leading role, so he wants to kill!"

"This"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Ayumi Yoshida were suddenly speechless.

Suddenly I felt that what Kojima Genta said seemed to make some sense.

After noticing Haibara Ai's gaze, Akikawa Sosuke also looked in her direction.

And this time, he also found a familiar feeling in Haibara Ai.

"I always feel that this little girl looks a bit like that Sera Masumi, is it an illusion?"

However, Akikawa Sosuke accurately found the source of the familiarity in Haibara Ai.

He thought for a moment, then looked at the Kanagawa Prefectural Detective in front of him and answered his questions truthfully.

Akikawa Sosuke explained how he met Furusawa Kenji.

And what happened last night when Kenji Furusawa came to his room with beer and chatted with him.

Akikawa Sosuke did not drink the beer that Kenji Furusawa gave him, so he just chatted with Kenji Furusawa who was drinking alone for a while and then sent him away.

While answering the police's questions, Akikawa Sosuke also learned the minimum information about the case from the few words the police said.

Simply put, Kenji Furusawa was found at the bottom of the pool in the women's hot spring area.

And according to a man named "Dr. Agasa", Kenji Furusawa died of hydrogen sulfide poisoning.

Akikawa Sousuke didn't know who Dr. Agasa was, but he considered that since the Elementary School Student of Death was here, the conclusion drawn by the police was most likely the judgment made by the Elementary School Student of Death.

In other words, there is basically no need to doubt the truth of Kenji Furusawa's cause of death.

"If Kenji Furusawa died of hydrogen sulfide poisoning rather than drowning, then it means he did not fall into the pool accidentally."

"Although I have never been to the women's hot spring area, I did soak in the men's area during the two days of rehearsal. The concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the air of the two pools should not be much different."

"Although the air near the hot springs of Kosen-an has a strong smell of rotten eggs and hydrogen sulfide, the only discomfort I felt was a slight irritation to my eyes."

'This means that the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the air is only about 0.001% at most, while the concentration of hydrogen sulfide to be lethal must reach at least 0.07%, which is a huge difference.'

'Due to geothermal activity and temperature changes, it is indeed possible that the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the air near natural hot springs will suddenly increase, but the maximum magnitude of this change should not exceed double.'

'Then this couldn't have been an accident, it had to be murder.'

Akikawa Sosuke made a judgment.

'The murderer wanted to use the hydrogen sulfide gas in the air near the hot springs to cover up his method of committing the crime, but this method is too crude.'

"After a quick look, I found that Kenji Furusawa showed no signs of resistance, so the murderer must have committed the crime while Kenji Furusawa was sleeping."

"Because hydrogen sulfide is heavier than air and there is no wind at the scene, hydrogen sulfide gas easily gathers in low places. Since the police and the Shinigami students are conducting a site inspection in the female hot spring area without any care, it means that this is not the crime scene where the murderer committed the crime."

After a brief observation, Akikawa Sosuke made a judgment on the murderer's method and timing of the crime.

At the same time, he also understood another thing.

That is, if the murderer had the intention,

The other party can kill all the residents on the same floor as Kenji Furusawa and in the surrounding rooms at any time.

This naturally includes Akikawa Sosuke himself.

The murderer's motive is still unknown, but the danger of what he did is extremely high.
