In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 99 Madman (35)

Akikawa Sosuke stood in the corridor leading to Yoshitoki Horita's personal lounge, looking at the situation in the room from a distance.

When he discovered that the pistol and medicine box were not on the table in the room, he knew that Ohkawa Takao had dug his own grave again.

"Takao Ohkawa wanted to protect himself after being deprived of his ability to move, so he could only try his best to cut off his connection with drugs and guns."

'But once he did that, he couldn't accuse me of giving him the morphine and naloxone.'

"It seems that Takao Ohkawa is still hoping that he is not being considered as the murderer."

'Thinking he could get away with it by pretending to be a victim.'

"But this would be too much of an underestimation of the detectives' abilities."

Akikawa Sosuke immediately determined what Ohkawa Takao had done during the time he was away, as well as what he was thinking at the moment.

"However, even after injecting so much morphine and naloxone, he still had the strength to hide the gun and medicine box. Mr. Ohga's physique is also better than that of ordinary people."

Akikawa Sosuke thought to himself.

'Come to think of it, I wonder if he has noticed that the wax on his hand is gone?'

Akikawa Sosuke looked at Ohkawa Takao lying on the ground, and couldn't help but raise a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.
-
Just when Ohkawa Takao was cursing Akikawa Sosuke in his heart for ruining his plan.

Suddenly, I felt my vision was blocked.

He looked to his side with great effort.

Then he saw the elementary school student who he had seen at the dinner yesterday, who was with Sera Masumi, squatting beside him and staring at him.

Just when Ohkawa Takao was feeling confused, the elementary school student next to him suddenly began to lift up his clothes.

After a moment, Conan's artificial voice rang out in the room.

"Ah, this is so weird~!"

"Mr. Taiga's arm seems to be injured~!"

When Ohkawa Takao heard this, he was shocked.

I originally thought that the elementary school student next to me was just making trouble.

Now it seems that the other party has already determined that there are needle holes on his body.

In other words, the detectives determined from the very beginning that they were experiencing withdrawal symptoms!
Everyone looked in the direction of Conan's finger and saw that there was indeed a needle hole on Ohkawa Takao's elbow.

Sera Masumi walked forward, gently squeezed Ohkawa Takao's elbow, and after carefully observing him, he said:

"This is new, which means that Ohkawa Takao had an intravenous injection not long ago."

"In this way, the reason why Takao Ohkawa had the accident is clear."

Masumi Sera stared at the two used ampoules on the floor of the room, which had previously contained morphine and naloxone, and explained to everyone:

"First of all, Mr. Ohkawa's current condition is definitely caused by the simultaneous use of morphine and naloxone, which has led to severe withdrawal symptoms."

When Ohkawa Takao heard this, he was impressed by the detective Masumi Sera's extensive knowledge, and at the same time, a glimmer of hope emerged in his heart.

perhaps.

Without having to speak, she could tell that someone else had injected her with morphine and naloxone.

However, what Sera Masumi said next caused Ohkawa Takao to suffer a cardiac arrest.

"I have just confirmed that Takao Ohkawa has an appointment with Mr. Akikawa at one o'clock in Director Horita's private lounge."

"Then in order to prevent Mr. Akikawa from arriving here early and finding no one in the room, Mr. Ohkawa must come to the lounge in advance to prepare."

"It should be at this time that Mr. Ohkawa had withdrawal symptoms."

"So he chose to inject himself with morphine."

"Perhaps the mistake resulted in an overdose of morphine, which made it unbearable for Mr. Ohga."

"He again chose to inject himself with naloxone hydrochloride in an attempt to reverse the opioid overdose and block the effects of the morphine."

“Ultimately, the overdose from the same injection of naloxone resulted in intense withdrawal symptoms.”

"If my guess is correct, there should be another needle hole on Mr. Dahe's body."

"Unlike morphine, naloxone hydrochloride does not need to be administered intravenously."

"So we need to focus on finding a location that is suitable for intramuscular injection."

"For example, the gluteus maximus, or the deltoid muscle in the upper arm."

Sera Masumi's words were like a bolt from the blue to Ohkawa Takao.

It was only a few minutes since the detective arrived at his place.
He actually knew that he wanted to attack Akikawa Sosuke?! He even deduced that he had come to Horita Yoshitoki's personal lounge in advance to prepare for this.

If.

The reasoning that Masumi Sera made earlier was so accurate that it was a little scary.

Then her subsequent reasoning was extremely wrong.

It is completely far from the actual situation!
Ohkawa Takao felt that Sera Masumi's reasoning was simply outrageous.

Because the condition for her reasoning to be valid is that the medicine box containing morphine must be connected to herself.

And it should be impossible for her to find evidence.

I must also avoid this kind of thing from happening.

Upon hearing this, the police from the Metropolitan Police Department took off Takao Ohkawa's clothes for inspection.

Soon, another needle hole was found on Takao Ohkawa's upper arm.

At this point, Ohkawa Takao finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"What kind of bullshit reasoning are you making?! Don't think that the morphine belongs to me just because you see it!"

"Wasn't this found in Horita's lounge? What does this have to do with me?!"

Ohkawa Takao shouted loudly.

"Oh, so Mr. Taiga doesn't agree with my reasoning."

"Then may I ask, if it wasn't you, Mr. Ohga, who injected yourself with morphine and naloxone, how did Mr. Ohga end up like this?"

Masumi Sera looked at Takao Ohkawa and asked with a smile.

"."

Sera Masumi's question made Ohkawa Takao shut up instantly.

He found that he had no way of answering Sera Masumi's question.

Ohkawa Takao wanted to speak out the truth loudly——

I locked the door myself to avoid Akikawa Sousuke.

Because the bastard injected himself with a lot of morphine and naloxone in order to torture himself.

However, he couldn't do it.

Because after Akikawa Sosuke left, there were only two choices left before him.

Or he could just leave the pistol and medicine box on the table and wait for the police and detectives to find him and identify him as the murderer.

Or they could hide their guns and drugs and try their best to act like a victim.

Since all the witnesses are dead and there are no fingerprints on the pistol and drugs serving as physical evidence, there is still room for maneuver.

This question seems to have two choices, but in fact there is only one choice.

In order to escape punishment, Takao Ohkawa had no choice but to choose the latter.

But after he chooses the latter, he will also face a problem.

That is, he could no longer accuse Akikawa Sorasuke of what he had done to him.

After all, from the "victim's" own perspective, he had no idea that there were pistols and medicines in the room of the "real murderer" Yoshitoki Horita.

Therefore, the fact that Akikawa Sosuke tortured himself naturally did not exist.

If I tell the truth, it would be tantamount to admitting that this drug is related to me.

I have already decided that I will insist until my death that the gun and the drugs have nothing to do with me.

Therefore, there is no way to refute Sera Masumi's reasoning.

"Why is that lunatic so fearless?!"

'Won't he be afraid if I told him everything he did to me?!'

This feeling of knowing that he was wronged but being unable to explain it at all made Ohkawa Takao so angry that he felt like he was suffocating.

In his mind, he cursed Akikawa Sosuke as a lunatic.

He began to deeply regret the decision he had made that morning which had led to his irreparable destruction.
