Chapter 249 Pressure (12)

Akikawa Sosuke still insisted on his own ideas and expressed his disapproval and criticism of Kaito Kid's behavior.

However, this time Toru Amuro did not give any response to Akikawa Sousuke.

He had put away his smile and said nothing, just looking down at the artist in front of him in silence.

Everyone has their own safe distance.

This refers to the physical distance we feel comfortable maintaining when interacting with others.

This distance between 0 and 45 cm is a highly private area known as the "intimate distance".

If someone invades this area, unless the relationship is extremely close, it will often cause strong discomfort.

And now there is no doubt that Toru Amuro has invaded Akikawa Sorasuke's area.

This is the "silent tactic" used by Toru Amuro when interrogating criminals.

This technique aims to put psychological pressure on the other party through silence and continuous eye contact, thereby making the other party feel uncomfortable in silence.

At the same time, Toru Amuro's behavior of invading Akikawa Sorasuke's safe distance can also put considerable psychological pressure on the other party.

As a person who passed the national civil service examination, entered the Metropolitan Police Department, and received systematic training at the police academy, Toru Amuro knows clearly how to destroy the opponent's psychological defenses.

Toru Amuro specifically investigated the work commissions that Akikawa Sousuke had taken on in order to get close to Akikawa Sousuke.

But he did not want to have a good relationship with Akikawa Sosuke and let Akikawa Sosuke confess his crimes to him.

Instead, he wanted to find out what kind of person Akikawa Sosuke was through contact with him.

In this way, Toru Amuro can choose the most appropriate means to deal with Akikawa Sosuke.

After these few days of contact, Toru Amuro has already known clearly.

Akikawa Sosuke is not as easy to deal with as an ordinary criminal.

Because as for what Akikawa Sosuke has done so far, although it cannot be said to be perfect, there is no direct evidence left to convict him.

In addition, although Akikawa Sosuke has an extremely distorted code of conduct, he also clearly knows what kind of views on good and evil and the three views can be accepted and recognized by the public.

Therefore, the image of the artist he played can be said to be the most perfect disguise of his true self.

Therefore, Toru Amuro judged that when facing someone like Sosuke Akikawa.

Compared with verbal threats and direct questioning,

By creating inner conflict and making the other person consciously enter a state of stress, the effect is often much better.

as predicted.

Toru Amuro discovered that under his stressful close and silent gaze, the artist in front of him, who was pretending to be in a state of bewilderment and confusion, began to show an emotion called "wavering".

This is because under the blessing of "tense atmosphere" and "silent and uneasy effect",

Akikawa Sosuke will definitely feel psychological pressure and begin to reflect on his own behavior.

Obviously, for Akikawa Sosuke, who can commit crimes against others without any psychological pressure,
There is no doubt that Kaito Kidd's waste of police resources is insignificant.

Akikawa Sosuke would surely realize that he had seen through his disguise and touched upon his true inner thoughts.

So, it was normal for Akikawa Sosuke to feel panicked when faced with this sudden attack that caught him off guard.

In this silent gaze that lasted for nearly half a minute, Akikawa Sosuke was the first to be defeated.

He took the initiative to look away, avoiding eye contact with Amuro Toru.

Then he said with some guilt:
"What's wrong, Mr. Amuro?"

"Why did you suddenly become so serious? It feels a little scary."

"I just think that in Akikawa-kun's heart, what Kaito Kid has done is very insignificant, right?"

Having achieved his goal, Toru Amuro no longer remained silent and spoke back. Toru Amuro noticed that Akikawa Sosuke, who had turned away, raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing what he said.

Although Toru Amuro was not able to see Akikawa Sosuke's pupils.

But he knew that at this moment, Akikawa Sosuke's pupils would definitely dilate because of shock.

"No, no, no, how could I possibly have such an idea?!"

"Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Amuro."

Akikawa Sosuke made an expression as if he found Amuro Toru's words extremely absurd. He stood up and began to walk off the stage.

It seems that Akikawa Sosuke is angry because he is being questioned, but in fact he is using this to distance himself from Amuro Toru.

These are all manifestations of Akikawa Sosuke's discomfort with the psychological pressure exerted by Amuro Toru.

And Toru Amuro naturally would not miss this opportunity.

He did not give Akikawa Sosuke the opportunity to keep a safe distance from him.

Amuro Toru reached out and grabbed Akikawa Sosuke's shoulder, and said in a deep voice:
"Forget stealing. For you, Akikawa-kun, even killing innocent people is not something you cannot accept, right?"

Then Toru Amuro saw Akikawa Sosuke turned his head and looked at him with horror.

"Mr. Amuro, what are you talking about?"

"Am I wrong?"

Amuro Toru said.

"Of course not. Where on earth did you come to this conclusion?"

Akikawa Sosuke looked at Amuro Toru with an expression of disbelief and raised his voice.

"Akikawa Sosuke, your mother Akikawa Ryoko was killed on the national highway on August 8 last year by a woman named 'Chianti'."

"And this woman named 'Chianti' died at the entrance of Kosenan, a hot spring hotel in Hakone, on March 3 of this year."

"And you, Akikawa-kun, happened to be invited to perform at Kosen-an at that time."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't kill her."

Akikawa Sosuke denied.

"Chianti was killed by her accomplices, but the police found severe subcutaneous bleeding at the carotid artery in Chianti's neck."

“Chianti also has obvious symptoms of hydrogen sulfide poisoning.”

Amuro Toru said.

"This matter is closely related to Akikawa-kun, right?"

"I'm sorry. I don't know what you're talking about."

Akikawa Sosuke denied it again.

However, this time, Akikawa Sosuke's tone was not as firm as before.

"After the previous incident at the Minato Film Festival, the Metropolitan Police Department installed positioning and eavesdropping software in Akikawa-kun's phone."

"A Public Security Bureau detective who was investigating Akikawa-kun learned of the incident that happened in Hakone that day and went to Hakone."

"But inexplicably, Akikawa-kun's position has changed."

"Then, the detective who tracked Akikawa-kun's cell phone location was found dead at the Ebina service area in Kanagawa Prefecture. The cause of death was a gunshot wound."

"I don't know how to explain this matter, Akikawa-kun?"
