In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 9: Qiuchuan-kun, do you have insomnia?

Takuto Nakajima came to the door of the ward where Sosuke Akikawa was, carrying a tray with breakfast on it.

He raised his wrist to check the time.

Nearly 50 minutes have passed since I left.

This time has obviously exceeded the level of simply getting breakfast.

If nothing unexpected happens, Akikawa Sorasuke, who had been looking forward to my return to continue chatting with him, should have felt extremely uneasy during this period of time.

You may wonder if you have been deceived.

After knocking on the door gently, Takuto Nakajima pushed it open and walked in.

Then he saw the man who was leaning against the bed with his head down.

Akikawa Sosuke, who exuded a strong aura of loss, suddenly raised his head.

After seeing himself, Akikawa Sosuke's originally dark eyes suddenly brightened up, and a very happy expression appeared on his face.

This scene gave Takuto Nakajima a strong shock.

I always feel like I have worked overtime until late at night, and when I finally get home, I see the puppy that has been locked up at home all day.

When Akikawa Sosuke saw himself now, he looked very much like the puppy who was looking forward to being taken out to play by himself.

When I think about what I have done to Akikawa Sosuke, and what I am about to do,
Takuto Nakajima felt a complicated feeling in his heart again.

"You...you are here."

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I was just called over by the head nurse and came here after I finished taking care of another patient."

Takuto Nakajima always felt that there was some sincerity in his apology, even though he had decided from the beginning to come back late on purpose.

"I forgot to tell you my name, Akikawa-kun. My last name is Nakajima."

"Hello, Mr. Nakajima."

Takuto Nakajima could have made up a surname and told Akikawa Sousuke, but he told him his real surname.

He didn't understand why he did it.

Perhaps he wanted to alleviate some of the guilt in his heart, or perhaps he didn't want to continue deceiving the simple-minded young man in front of him.

"Akikawa-kun, your injury has not yet healed, so I prepared food that is less burdensome to your stomach and intestines."

Takuto Nakajima opened the small table beside the bed and moved it in front of Akikawa Sousuke.

Then put the tray on it.

There are some simple foods on the tray.

A bowl of steaming rice porridge, a bowl of vegetables that looked very soft, a piece of silken tofu that was as smooth and delicate as pudding, and a small plate of fruit.

"Thank you."

Akikawa Sosuke thanked him softly, then picked up the spoon with his trembling left hand, gently scooped a little rice porridge, blew it twice near his mouth, and then drank it.

"It's... delicious."

Takuto Nakajima saw Akikawa Sosuke giving him a very forced and stiff smile.

"He really isn't very good at lying..."

Nakajima Takuto muttered to himself, and then asked:

"Not to your taste?"

"without!"

Akikawa Sosuke raised his voice suddenly, but then he seemed to realize that his reaction was a little too loud, so he quickly lowered the volume.

"Sorry, no, it's delicious, but it's a little too hot..."

"Then wait a while before drinking. Eat some vegetables or tofu first."

"it is good…"

Akikawa Sosuke agreed, took the small spoon used for eating silken tofu, and reached out to the tofu.

Takuto Nakajima felt indescribable awkward when he saw Akikawa Sosuke eating with a spoon.

But I just don’t understand what’s wrong.

He recalled Akikawa Sosuke's reaction after he revealed his true feelings, and thought again:
"It's just rice porridge, but you're so reluctant to eat it." "Even if you're a picky eater, you wouldn't hate rice porridge, right?"

"And after I pointed out that it was not to your taste, you reacted so violently..."

"It seems like he was afraid that I would misunderstand that he didn't like the breakfast I brought... A child who was abused in childhood would be so humble and sensitive..."

Through this brief contact, Takuto Nakajima also had a new judgment about Akikawa Sousuke.

"Maybe it's because I haven't had much contact with outsiders, my lying skills are really bad."

"And he seemed to be afraid that I would feel unhappy."

After making these two judgments, Nakajima Takuto felt that he could get down to business.

So he teased Akikawa Sosuke, who was struggling to swallow a piece of broccoli:
"Come to think of it, looking at Akikawa-kun, I always feel like he's just a little kid."

"She's about the same age as my sister, but it looks like there's a ten-year age difference between us."

"Eh?"

Akikawa Sosuke raised his head and looked at Nakajima Takuto curiously.

"Mr. Nakajima, you have a younger sister. Is she in school now?"

"Yeah, it's my sophomore summer vacation now, and I'm basically either working part-time or hanging out with friends."

"so good…"

Akikawa Sosuke immediately showed an envious look.

"It's nothing good. She and her friends often play until midnight and don't go home. She doesn't think about how dangerous it is!"

"She sang karaoke with her classmates in Shinjuku until midnight, and when she came out, she was harassed by some thugs. If I hadn't been nearby, I don't know what would have happened."

"Mr. Nakajima, aren't you afraid of gangsters?"

"Heh, thugs? I'm a police officer... cough, I'm a 2nd degree kendo master, why would I be afraid of thugs?"

(The first sound of the Japanese word "京警署" and "剑道" is similar, both are "ke")
Nakajima Takuto, who almost let the cat out of the bag, quickly changed his words, and Akikawa Sousuke did not show any doubt.

After chatting with Akikawa Sosuke for a while, and deepening Akikawa Sosuke's impression that he had a sister who was about the same age as him,
Nakajima Takuto smiled at Akikawa Sousuke and said:
"Don't just listen, eat more, or it will get cold."

"Akikawa-kun, you are very weak right now. If you don't take in more nutrients, you won't be able to recover."

"it is good…"

Akikawa Sosuke picked up the spoon again and struggled to put the small pieces of vegetables into his mouth.

After taking a bite, he was about to put down the spoon.

However, after he found that Takuto Nakajima was still staring at him, he had to pick up the spoon again and put a lot of food into his mouth.

The more Takuto Nakajima watched, the more he felt that Akigawa Sorasuke's eating movements were very awkward.

Fortunately, Akikawa Sousuke didn't seem to dare to resist his instructions, so Nakajima Takuto didn't care.

After watching Akikawa Sosuke struggle to finish a whole bowl of vegetables and half a bowl of rice porridge, Nakajima Takuto nodded in satisfaction.

He felt that the time was almost right, so he spoke unobtrusively:
"Come to think of it, my sister has been suffering from insomnia recently."

"And she said that young people her age seem to be troubled by insomnia. I wonder if Akikawa-kun has this problem?"

After saying this, Takuto Nakajima immediately stared at Akikawa Sorasuke's reaction.

Last night, the hospital found triazolam, the main ingredient of sleeping pills, in Akikawa Sosuke's body.

What he wanted to confirm now was whether Akikawa Sosuke really had insomnia.

If not, it means that the sleeping pills that Akikawa Sosuke took were prepared in advance for the purpose of suicide.

Then he heard Akikawa Sosuke blurt out without any hesitation:

"No."

Nakajima Takumi thought, as expected, and confirmed it again.

"So, Akikawa-kun can usually fall asleep easily, right?"

"Yeah, I don't have insomnia."

Akikawa Sosuke looked at Nakajima Takuto, his sapphire-blue eyes filled with confusion.
