Chapter 182 The Suspicion of Akikawa Mother and Son (22)

After Sera Masumi told Conan about his judgment, he went to the monitoring room again.

Here, she met the criminal police who was responsible for checking the surveillance.

"Excuse me, did you find anyone suspicious entering or leaving Kosen-an after midnight yesterday?"

Sera Masumi asked.

"Several."

As the detective spoke, she then adjusted the progress bar of the surveillance video to the corresponding position according to the time recorded in her notebook.

"Ms. Tanaka, who was in charge of the front desk yesterday, said she had no impression of these people."

Masumi Sera scanned the suspicious people one by one and asked the detective to switch to the next suspicious person.

"This woman's dress is very suspicious."

After switching to the next suspect, the detective pointed at him with his mouse and said.

The woman in the picture is wearing black clothes, a baseball cap, and her cheeks are covered by a black mask.

At the same time, the woman was carrying a shoulder bag.

When Masumi Sera saw the other's slender figure,

After seeing the reddish-brown hair vaguely showing under the black baseball cap, he suddenly had a strong premonition in his heart.

“Can you enlarge it?”

Sera Masumi said hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, the criminal police enlarged the video footage.

But at the same time, the video image has become a little blurry because it has been magnified.

Masumi Sera took the mouse and began to confirm the footage of the woman entering and leaving Kosenan frame by frame.

Finally, when the woman entered Guquanan, she captured the moment when she looked up at the surveillance camera.

Although the resolution of the video was not high, Sera Masumi could still vaguely see the tattoo on the woman's left eye.

Masumi Sera, who was originally here to investigate the murderer of Akikawa Ryoko, was just passing by and helped solve the dismemberment case.

The result was unexpected.

A dismemberment case actually implicated that mysterious organization.

What I didn't expect was...

The murderer who was suspected to have killed Akikawa Ryoko also appeared here.

'It's her?! How did she appear here?!'

'She belongs to that organization?'

"Akikawa Ryoko was targeted and killed by the organization?!"

"Could it be that Akikawa Ryoko has a special identity?"

"Since Akikawa Sosuke was able to remember the murderer's clothes, it means that Akikawa Ryoko was still conscious when she was killed."

"Then why didn't the woman from this organization kill Akikawa Sousuke when she killed Akikawa Ryoko?"

Sera Masumi's thoughts were instantly confused because he saw the murderer of the car accident again in the surveillance video of Kosenan.

Countless confusions and questions began to arise in Sera Masaru's mind.

Although she was very smart, she still couldn't sort out the doubts.

"Ms. Sera, what's wrong with you?"

The detective in charge of investigating the surveillance video looked at Sera Masumi, whose pupils were trembling, with some confusion and asked.

"It's okay... the murderer should be this woman."

"She entered Kosen-an at 1:17 p.m. and left after just 12 minutes."

"Whether you come here to stay or just to take a bath, you shouldn't leave so soon."

"But it is enough to kill Mr. Kawasaki who lives on the first floor."

Afterwards, Masumi Sera told Inspector Okamura alone about the general situation of Kunio Koizumi.

This does not involve any information about Kunio Koizumi developing software for the organization.

At the same time, she also told Inspector Okamura that the computer in the room actually belonged to Kunio Koizumi, not the computer used by Ryo Kawasaki, so it had nothing to do with the case.

After requesting the police to keep the fact that Kawasaki Ryo and Koizumi Kunio had developed the software confidential, Masumi Sera left the monitoring room.

After coming out of the monitoring room, Sera Masumi's eyes fell on Akikawa Sousuke, who was waiting in the hall and playing with his phone. "Akikawa, how did you survive?"

"And why did you lie to the police and say someone else fed you sleeping pills?"

Sera Masumi's eyes were complicated.

She found that the more she investigated the car accident, the more suspicious points she found about Akikawa and his mother.

Masumi Sera became more and more curious about the reason why Akikawa Ryoko was targeted by the organization.

She walked straight towards Akikawa Sosuke.

Akikawa Sosuke, who was looking at his phone, felt someone coming and looked over.

"Mr. Akikawa, would you mind chatting?"

Akikawa Sosuke didn't answer, but just nodded slightly, then turned off his phone and put it aside.

Since Akikawa Sosuke was no longer a suspect, there were no detectives monitoring him.

So at this moment, there was no one else around Akikawa Sousuke and Sera Masumi.

"I'm really sorry to bring this up again after such a long time. I want to ask, did Ms. Ryoko tell you why she moved you?"

Masumi Sera saw a hint of surprise on Akikawa Sousuke's handsome face, and then saw Akikawa Sousuke staring at her straight, and then shook his head.

"No."

"You are lying, Mr. Akikawa."

Masumi Sera stared into Akikawa Sosuke's eyes and saw through Akikawa Sosuke's lies.

"Akikawa has grown up a lot since we first met."

'Unfortunately, this level is still not enough.'

During the car accident last year, Akikawa Sosuke, who had no social experience, would subconsciously avoid the gaze of the interrogator when he lied.

This way, it would be easy for people to see that he was lying.

Through his experience as an artist, the number of people Akikawa Sosuke has met has undoubtedly increased by dozens or hundreds of times compared to before.

Therefore, when Akikawa Sosuke lies, he no longer behaves as flustered as before.

However, just because he wasn't panicking didn't mean that Sera Masumi couldn't tell that he was lying.

When people reminisce, their eyes will unconsciously turn to the upper left.

Sera Masumi discovered that Akikawa Sosuke's eyes were fixed on him when he answered.

And he denied his question without any hesitation, which meant that he didn't recall the process at all.

Often, people who are lying tend to look the other person in the eye.

Because they want to judge whether the other party believes their lies based on the other party's reaction.

Akikawa Sosuke's lying skills have undoubtedly improved a lot during this period of time, but he was still easily seen through by the observant Sera Masumi.

Sure enough, after Sera Masumi found out that Akikawa Sousuke had been directly exposed for his lies, she immediately looked away with a guilty look on her face.

"It's just a normal move. What reason do you need?"

Akikawa Sosuke asked.

"Mr. Akikawa, you don't go to school, Ms. Ryoko doesn't have a stable job, and your family is in financial difficulty."

"Moving in Japan is very expensive, and the down payment for a new house is several times the rent."

"Given your and Ms. Ryoko's family conditions, this should be a huge burden."

"If there is no reason to move, I don't think Ms. Ryoko would move you so easily."

Sera Masamune analyzed.

Masumi Sera originally thought that Akikawa Sousuke was under house arrest by his mother.

But after she learned that the person who killed Akikawa Ryoko was from the organization, her thoughts changed.

Perhaps Akikawa Ryoko was not "putting Akikawa Sousuke under house arrest" but "protecting" him.

Under Sera Masumi's stressful gaze, her conjecture was soon confirmed -

"Mom said someone is chasing us."

After hesitating for a moment, Akikawa Sosuke spoke slowly.
