Chapter 17 The murderer's flaw

Akikawa Sosuke was a little surprised.

Not to mention that we are in a hospital ward now, there are two outsiders standing behind this beautiful police officer!
"So all Metropolitan Police Department detectives look like this?"

"You bring outsiders here to sit in on the trial?"

Akikawa Sosuke originally thought that if the characters were all like Nakajima Takuto, who were a little smart but not very smart, he should be able to handle it.

But I didn't expect that the Metropolitan Police Department would be willing to allow that "handsome" detective and the elementary school student of Death to listen in on the interrogation.

"The detectives in the world view of Detective Conan all seem to have superb IQs. If they reveal a flaw, they will definitely be discovered immediately..."

Akikawa Sosuke thought to himself, then looked at Conan and Sera Masumi.

“Excuse me, who are these two…”

"They are Conan-kun and Ms. Sera. They may also have some questions for Mr. Akikawa."

"it is good…"

Akikawa Sosuke saw that Sato Miwako had no intention of letting the two detectives leave, so he nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Without further ado, could you please repeat yesterday's itinerary, Mr. Akikawa?"

"Retell the itinerary? Are you just asking, or do you want to confirm whether my answer conflicts with the previous recording of Nakajima?"

Akikawa Sosuke thought about it, and then said:
"Yesterday was my twentieth birthday, so I planned to go out with my mom to celebrate."

"After the celebration, we are ready to go home..."

"I'm sorry, can you tell me more specifically how you celebrated? Like where you went and what you did?"

“It was just a normal meal.”

Of course Akikawa Sosuke didn't know what the original owner did with his mother yesterday.

However, considering the original owner's physical condition, he probably can't do most activities.

Moreover, he had not felt hungry until this morning, and the car accident happened at around nine o'clock in the evening, so the original owner and his mother must have eaten out.

"May I ask which restaurant did you go to? What did you eat?"

"Sorry, I don't remember..."

"Oh, how could most people forget what they ate last night? And wasn't last night Big Brother's birthday? How could you forget even if that's the case?"

Suddenly, a childish and artificial voice sounded.

Conan blinked his confused eyes and looked at Akikawa Sorasuke with confusion in his eyes.

"Yesterday was his birthday, how could he forget what he ate?"

"Since he wants to hide the fact that he had dinner, that means if they find out the restaurant where he and his mother dined, it's very likely that something will be exposed!"

"Like... putting sleeping pills in his mother's food..."

Conan keenly noticed Akikawa Sosuke's intention.

The corners of his mouth curled up and he gently pinched his collar.

He prepared the miniature microphone on his collar and told Takagi Wataru, who was recording outside, about this matter.

However, what Akikawa Sosuke said next made Conan stop.

"For me, eating is painful, so it doesn't matter what I eat."

“No food is good for me.”

"Every time I eat, I have to take a bunch of pills with me to barely swallow them, but if I take a little more, I will spit it out."

“Even if I had sushi last night, I don’t think I would have had any impression of it.”

Listening to the words spoken by Akikawa Sosuke with his head lowered and his eyes lonely, Conan's expression suddenly froze on his face.

"I actually forgot! Most people will not forget what they ate yesterday, but this Akikawa Sosuke is not an ordinary person!"

"As a patient with long-term liver failure, he had long lost the ability to enjoy food."

Conan suddenly felt embarrassed when he realized this.

I originally wanted to play the role of an ignorant child and point out the unreasonable parts in Akikawa Sorasuke's words.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a naughty child who talked nonsense and hurt people's pain points.

"Even if I ate sushi last night, I wouldn't have any impression of it..."

Masumi Sera repeated Akikawa Sousuke's words in a low voice.

"Is sushi the best thing for him?"

Masumi Sera had heard that for children from ordinary families, sushi was the most luxurious food.

At this moment, she heard Akikawa Sosuke trying his best to imagine but could only name food like sushi, and suddenly she felt that Akikawa Sosuke was a little pitiful. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Akikawa, please continue." Sato Miwako said.

"Well... when we were walking back, a motorcycle suddenly appeared in front of us, and my mother also stepped on the brakes at this time."

"What kind of motorcycle is it?"

"Black."

"Can you be more specific?"

"Sorry, I don't know much about motorcycles."

"and then?"

...

Afterwards, Akikawa Sousuke did as he had said to Nakajima Takuto before,

He braked but was rear-ended, the car hit the guardrail, he hit his head and hands, and then he recounted the entire incident of his mother being killed by the motorcyclist.

But something is different.

Almost every time Akikawa Sosuke retold the story, Sato Miwako asked him about the details.

"Excuse me, I want to ask something."

At this time, the voice of Sera Masumi, who had been silent all the time, rang out.

"Mr. Akikawa, you said you hit your head and you were a little confused at the time, but you should have noticed the order in which the murderer stabbed Ms. Ryoko, right? The murderer should have stabbed Ms. Ryoko's neck first, right?"

Ryoko Akikawa was injured in the neck, chest and abdomen.

Finally, the knife was inserted into the abdomen.

Since there were marks of strangulation on Akikawa Ryoko's body, it means that Akikawa Ryoko struggled violently when she was stabbed.

The knife wound on Akikawa Ryoko's neck was in the throat area. It was impossible for her to struggle violently after being stabbed, so it must not have been the first place where the knife was cut.

In addition, there were no fingerprints on Akikawa Ryoko's body, and Akikawa Sousuke did not have gloves.

Then the marks caused by ligatures would be considered as “police confidential information” known only to the police.

In this case, if Akikawa Sosuke is the murderer, then his answer will most likely avoid the correct order of stabbing to confuse the police's judgment.

And my questioning just happened to be in line with the murderer's wishes.

Considering that the knife was inserted into Akikawa Ryoko's abdomen in the end, the knife was stabbed from the top of the throat, which is consistent with the impression of outsiders who witnessed the tragic death.

"As long as Akikawa Sosuke nods, then he is most likely the murderer."

As Sera Masumi was thinking, he heard Akikawa Sosuke recalling in a trembling voice:

"From what I remember...it seems not...the man stabbed my mother in the chest several times first, and then stabbed her in the abdomen and throat."

"I just remember that my mother was struggling violently, but I was so scared that I didn't dare to move, and I didn't see it clearly..."

"I actually avoided Sera's trap..."

Conan sighed softly in his heart, but did not easily deny the possibility that Akikawa Sousuke was the murderer.

He quietly reached out and flicked the microphone on his collar twice to send out the signal.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door in the ward.

Then Takagi Wataru walked in.

Miwako Sato looked at Takagi with a confused look, and then she heard Takagi whispering in a low voice that could still be heard by people in the room:

"The forensic department has reported that no sleeping pills were found in Akikawa Ryoko's system."

"That eliminates the possibility that sleeping pills caused the car accident." Sato Miwako nodded.

"There is one more thing. The forensic experts used the luminol reaction to determine that the fingerprints on the handle of the dagger were wiped by the murderer."

"But the murderer revealed his flaw here."

"Because the forensic department later used the cyanoacrylate fumigation method to find fingerprints of another person other than the deceased Akikawa Ryoko on the handle of the dagger."

While Takagi Wataru was "reporting" to Sato Miwako,

Conan's eyes behind his big round-frame glasses were always fixed on Akikawa Sorasuke.

Unsurprisingly.

After hearing Takagi Wataru say that other people's fingerprints were found on the handle of the dagger, Akikawa Sorasuke showed a very surprised expression on his face.
