Chapter 12 You murderer!

"Well--!"

suddenly.

When Takuto Nakajima heard Akikawa Sosuke let out a muffled groan, he immediately covered his mouth.

Then he leaned over to the bed and vomited out all the breakfast he had just eaten.

Takuto Nakajima looked at Akikawa Sosuke who was vomiting and coughing wildly into the wastebasket beside the bed, and he felt mixed emotions again.

When people are under excessive psychological pressure, their bodies will experience physical discomfort and lead to vomiting.

This happens frequently during criminal trials.

At this point, it is certain that Akikawa Sosuke is really on the verge of collapse.

Takuto Nakajima came to Akikawa Sosuke and helped pat Akikawa Sosuke on the back.

At the same time, the tone became gentle and soft.

"I'm so sorry, Akikawa-kun."

"I don't want to see Akikawa-kun like this either. I'm really doing this for Akikawa-kun's own good."

"There is one thing I must confess to Akikawa-kun. I am not actually a nurse in this hospital, but a detective from the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department."

"I assure you as a criminal police officer."

"As long as you, Akikawa-kun, tell me what happened yesterday, I promise you won't be severely punished."

"After all, it was your mother who made the mistake first, and you just became an adult yesterday, so you still have a long life ahead of you."

"If you keep hiding the truth, and the police catch you directly with evidence, the severity of the punishment will be completely different."

Enough of the whipping, it's time to feed the candy.

Takuto Nakajima is absolutely sure.

After suffering this decisive final blow from me, Akikawa Sosuke will definitely give up hiding his crimes and confess them all to me.

as predicted.

Nakajima Takuto discovered that Akikawa Sosuke's back, which was still shaking from the violent coughing,

After hearing himself say, "It was your mother who made the mistake, and you just became an adult yesterday," the trembling suddenly stopped.

"Really...really?"

About a minute passed before Takuto Nakajima heard Akikawa Sosuke speaking to him in a hesitant tone.

"Of course! I won't lie to you!"

Takuto Nakajima was delighted and spoke quickly.

He did not deceive Akikawa Sosuke.

Now Akikawa Sosuke's honest confession can be regarded as surrender.

But when the police have evidence and then arrest someone, the punishment will be much more severe.

But there was one thing he didn't say.

That is, the police have not yet found conclusive evidence that Akikawa Sosuke killed Akikawa Ryoko.

Therefore, the Metropolitan Police Department's detention period for Akikawa Sosuke is no more than 48 hours.

Arresting people is even more impossible.

What Nakajima Takuto showed at this moment was his full confidence that the police had already obtained solid evidence.

Only in this way.

Only then can I make the young man in front of me believe that I am really thinking about him.

Akikawa Sosuke raised his body slightly and used the towel handed to him by Nakajima Takuto to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes due to vomiting and coughing, as well as the saliva remaining on the corners of his mouth.

Then he said softly:

"My mother had planned a trip to celebrate my 20th birthday a long time ago."

"Yeah, go on."

Takuto Nakajima urged in his heart.

Although he showed no expression on the surface, he was still as gentle and kind as he was at the beginning.

But inside I was already extremely excited.

The case is finally coming to an end. Even Detective Masumi Sera, Officer Chiba, and Officer Sato have not solved the case.

It only took me one morning to achieve victory.

With this achievement, I believe that promotion to inspection minister is just around the corner.

"After celebrating outside, my mother drove home and I sat in the passenger seat."

"Yes, that's it!"

Takuto Nakajima became more and more excited, and he tried hard not to smile.

Akikawa Sosuke's confession will be completely recorded in the recorder, and this recording will become the biggest evidence instead of the murder weapon.

"When we were passing the national highway, a motorcycle suddenly jumped out in front of my mother's car, so she stepped on the brakes urgently."

"Huh? The brakes weren't caused by Akikawa Sousuke?"

Takuto Nakajima was confused, thinking that his judgment on this point seemed to be slightly biased.

But it's not a big problem.

"After my mother braked suddenly, for some reason, the car suddenly lost balance and crashed into the guardrail on the left side of the road."

"Well, this should be a rear-end collision."

Takuto Nakajima nodded and muttered to himself.

All of Akikawa Sosuke's descriptions were consistent with the facts learned by the Metropolitan Police Department.

He was sure that Akikawa Sosuke had not deceived him.

"I hit my hand because of the sudden brake, and my head was dazed because it hit the headrest. I don't remember much of what happened at the time, but it seemed that the door on my mother's side was suddenly opened by someone."

"Eh?!"

Takuto Nakajima was stunned and felt something was wrong.

"That man was wearing all black and seemed to be the one riding the motorcycle."

"Wait, wait, wait! What are you talking about?! Shouldn't you have taken out a knife and stabbed your mother before she could figure out what was going on?"

Takuto Nakajima felt more and more that something was not right with the way things were going, and began to complain loudly in his mind.

"Anyway, the man in black was wearing a helmet, so I couldn't see his face. Then he suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed my mother multiple times."

"After my mother stopped moving, the man opened my mouth again, poured some pills of unknown substance into my mouth, and then hit my head. When I woke up again, I was already in the hospital."

“What a joke!!”

Takuto Nakajima couldn't bear it any longer and roared out in anger.

I thought Akikawa Sosuke wanted to confess his crimes to me.

I didn’t expect that even at this time, I’m still making up stories for myself!

Takuto Nakajima felt like he had been tricked.

He no longer pretended to be kind, and directly lifted up Akikawa Sosuke's collar, put his face close to Akikawa Sosuke and said angrily:

"You're the one who killed your mother! You murderer!"

"You bought sleeping pills and prepared a dagger in advance, intending to kill your mother and then commit suicide on the day your mother took you out to celebrate your twentieth birthday."

"You killed your mother with a knife after the car accident and then took sleeping pills in an attempt to commit suicide."

"But you don't know that sleeping pills are actually very difficult to kill. I was lucky to survive!"

"This is your modus operandi, am I right?!"

Akikawa Sosuke's face was already pale.

At this moment, Nakajima Takuto grabbed his collar and frightened him so much that his face turned pale.

His already red eyes became moist again, and his voice began to become hoarse and tearful:
"I'm telling the truth. Mom was killed by that motorcyclist!"

"Bullshit!!"

Takuto Nakajima roared again, interrupting Akikawa Sousuke's words.

"No other fingerprints were detected on the dagger or your mother. Where did the man on the motorcycle come from? This is complete nonsense!!"

"If no fingerprints were detected, how did Mr. Nakajima conclude that I was the murderer?"

Akikawa Sosuke's light question made Nakajima Takuto freeze instantly.
