Akikawa Sosuke was sent for examination and treatment.
Meanwhile, Nakajima Takuto and Conan and his group were taken back to the room temporarily prepared for them in the hospital by DetectiveChiba Kazunobu.
Thinking the room should be empty,
After pushing the door open, Nakajima Takuto found that there was still one person inside.
That was the beautiful Detective known as the "Flower of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department" – Sato Miwako.
Sato Miwako is the same rank as Assistant Inspector Toda, who previously gave Nakajima Takuto instructions.
She is the second-in-command of the Tokyo Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Criminal Investigation Department First Division, Violent Crimes Investigation Section Three.
Therefore, she is also a superior whom Nakajima Takuto absolutely dares not disobey.
Originally, this beautiful officer was resting her fist against her upper lip, thinking while looking at the documents on the table.
After hearing the sound of the door opening, she turned her gaze towards them.
Then, after seeing Nakajima Takuto's somewhat uneasy expression, as if he had done something wrong,
Her beautiful eyebrows also furrowed.
"Chiba-kun, what happened?"
Sato Miwako did not ask Nakajima Takuto directly, but instead asked Chiba Kazunobu, who was one rank below her.
So Chiba Kazunobu roughly recounted the situation he had learned on the way back to Sato Miwako.
"Thank you, Miss Sera, for helping me stop Nakajima-kun."
Sato Miwako thanked Masumi Sera softly.
"Excuse me, could I ask Miss Sera and Conan-kun to step outside for a moment?"
Masumi Sera and Conan both nodded and left the room.
"Detective Nakajima is probably going to be scolded by Officer Sato," Masumi Sera said. "I heard Officer Takagi say before that Officer Sato is very scary when she's angry."
"No, Officer Sato is nowhere near as scary as you."
Conan muttered in his heart.
He clearly remembered,
In a certain case before, Kid the Phantom Thief had angered Masumi Sera and was almost kicked to death by Masumi Sera.
"Speaking of which, Miss Sera, weren't you a bit too impulsive? Detective Nakajima is a Detective, hitting him might be considered assaulting a police officer!"
"So what if it's assaulting a police officer? Are you telling me to just stand by and watch Detective Nakajima force a confession?"
"No, I was telling you to use a gentler method."
"That's why I didn't hit his face with my fist."
"."
Conan was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said:
"Since he could force Detective Nakajima, who seems to have a pretty good temper, into that state, it means Akikawa did not admit to being the killer."
"But I'm curious, what exactly happened in the hospital room during the time Detective Nakajima was gone?"
Masumi Sera speculated in her heart, and a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of her mouth.
However, this smile did not stay on her clear face for long.
Just a few seconds later, Masumi Sera's expression turned cold again.
"Despite having very little information about the victim and the suspect, he was impatient and tried to force the suspect to confess using suggestive questioning and coercion."
"Besides, he clearly said he wouldn't use suggestive questioning."
Masumi Sera has no good feelings towards people who don't keep their promises.
Furthermore, for Nakajima Takuto, who is a Police officer, doing something legally prohibited like this made Masumi Sera extremely repulsed.
Although Masumi Sera and Conan didn't know what Nakajima Takuto and Akikawa Sosuke discussed,
Just by looking at Nakajima Takuto's exasperated appearance at the end, they could guess that the suggestive questioning had definitely failed.
"Conan-kun, Miss Sera, you can come in now."
After a moment, Chiba Kazunobu poked his head out and called Conan and Masumi Sera back in.
When the two went back in, they found that,
Sato Miwako's expression was no different from before.
But Nakajima Takuto stood to the side with his head down, like someone who had done something wrong.
"It seems she scolded him more harshly than I thought," Conan muttered in his heart.
"I came here this time to share the information the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has investigated regarding this case."
Sato Miwako spoke softly, while also glancing faintly at Nakajima Takuto standing there.
"Police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department interviewed the neighbors of the victim and the suspect and learned that the Akikawa mother and son moved into their current apartment three years ago."
"Unfortunately, most people said they didn't have much interaction with the Akikawa mother and son."
"But one point, the answers given by several interviewees were quite consistent."
"That is, they all believed that the suspect Akikawa Sosuke was abused by his mother, Akikawa Ryoko."
"The evidence is that the victim Akikawa Ryoko occasionally went out to work, but they hardly ever saw the suspect Akikawa Sosuke go out."
"Moreover, in their impression, Akikawa Sosuke always seemed to be malnourished and very weak."
"This is consistent with Miss Sera's speculation."
"Did the Police receive any related reports?" Masumi Sera asked.
"No."
Sato Miwako replied.
"The Police questioned the neighbors of the Akikawa mother and son, and most people's answer was that they didn't want to meddle."
"Because they never heard any screams or similar sounds from the Akikawa home, nor did they receive any requests for help from Akikawa Sosuke."
"Actually, this situation is understandable. If Akikawa Sosuke was confined by his mother since elementary school, over a decade has passed by now, and he should have lost the will to resist."
Masumi Sera rested her finger against her chin, analyzing in a deep voice.
"Plus, the neighbors said that although they hardly ever interacted with the Akikawa mother and son, they occasionally saw Akikawa Sosuke's weak, malnourished appearance, which indicates that Akikawa Sosuke is not completely restricted by his mother now."
"This can also prove that Akikawa Ryoko is sure that Akikawa Sosuke will not run away or ask others for help."
"Indirectly proving that Akikawa Sosuke has lost his will to resist."
"But if he has lost the will to resist, how could he commit the act of killing his mother?" Chiba Kazunobu was puzzled.
"Perhaps Akikawa Sosuke simply didn't hold out hope for the neighbors. For example, he might have tried to ask the neighbors for help when he was a child, but it was ineffective."
"After all, Officer Sato also said that the Akikawa mother and son moved into their current apartment three years ago."
"Akikawa Sosuke doesn't go to school or go out. And Akikawa Ryoko doesn't have a formal job, only doing odd jobs."
"In this situation, there is absolutely no need to move."
"So the possibility I can think of is that once Akikawa Ryoko notices that her abuse of Akikawa Sosuke has been discovered by others, she will quickly move."
"After several times, Akikawa Sosuke naturally lost the will to resist."
Sato Miwako, Chiba Kazunobu, and even Nakajima Takuto standing to the side all nodded repeatedly upon hearing Masumi Sera's analysis.
In their hearts, they couldn't help but sigh again,
As expected of a Detective, she can always notice details that the Police have not noticed.
And based on these small details, she can deduce the full picture of the incident.
"But I'm still a bit confused, would this kind of child really commit the act of killing his mother?"
Chiba Kazunobu was still having trouble accepting it.
"Officer Takagi and the others who were in charge of the investigation also had the same question."
"But after they searched the apartment where the victim and suspect lived, they found this."
Sato Miwako said, placing three documents in front of everyone.
"The policyholder is Akikawa Ryoko, and the beneficiary is Akikawa Sosuke."
"Including mandatory liability insurance, these are insurance contracts from three different companies, with a total death benefit exceeding 100 million yen."
