Sato Miwako's words caused Nakajima Takuto, who had been hanging his head by the wall, to suddenly raise his head.
Then, along with everyone else, he cast his gaze towards the three documents.
On the table were a mandatory liability insurance contract and two life insurance contracts.
Mandatory liability insurance is equivalent to Japan's compulsory automobile liability insurance.
It is insurance that all people who buy cars in Japan must purchase.
Life insurance is equivalent to life insurance and must be applied for and purchased from an insurance company on one's own.
"Although Akikawa Ryoko's name is signed on this document, it doesn't necessarily mean that Akikawa Ryoko purchased the insurance for herself."
"Because as long as you have the seal and insurance certificate, even children or spouses can go to the insurance company to purchase insurance for their family members."
Hearing Sato Miwako say this,
Nakajima Takuto, who was standing nearby, seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and quickly said excitedly in a loud voice:
"As soon as Akikawa Ryoko dies, Akikawa Sosuke can not only gain freedom from his mother's abuse, but also receive a huge amount of compensation that is enough to make his latter half of life worry-free!"
"Although death benefit payouts are considered inheritance, they are not taxed by the government!"
"Akikawa Sosuke is the biggest beneficiary of Akikawa Ryoko's death this time, he has a sufficient motive for murder!!"
"Sure enough, he had planned all of this long ago, so he purchased those two life insurance policies for his mother!"
Nakajima Takuto's statement once again aroused Masumi Sera's disgust. She looked at Nakajima Takuto and retorted:
"If Akikawa Sosuke was after the insurance money, why would he commit suicide after his mother died?"
"But in the end, he didn't die, did he? He must have known how many sleeping pills he could take without anything happening, all for the sake of concealing the fact that he killed for the insurance money."
"No, Nakajima, you are wrong on this point."
Chiba Kazunobu's sudden remark caused Nakajima Takuto to freeze.
"Last night, the Triazolam concentration detected in Akikawa's body by Dr. was severely excessive, so it was determined that the amount of sleeping pills Akikawa Sosuke took was enough to be fatal."
"Rather, the fact that Akikawa is still alive is strange in itself."
"If he was truly after the insurance money, it would be absolutely impossible for him to swallow a lethal dose of sleeping pills."
"Then... then..."
Nakajima Takuto was choked by Chiba Kazunobu's words.
After thinking for a moment, he quickly said:
"The insurance was purchased by Akikawa Ryoko for herself and has nothing to do with Akikawa Sosuke. And Akikawa Sosuke's goal from the beginning was to kill his mother and then commit suicide!"
Just as Sato Miwako was about to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Sato Miwako called out, and then a young nurse walked in.
"Excuse me, have you found anything?" Chiba Kazunobu asked.
"Um... Mr. Akikawa is currently receiving treatment for his fracture."
The young nurse seemed a little afraid when facing the Detective.
"Oh, I see, thank you."
Sato Miwako thanked the young nurse, then asked softly:
"Excuse me, is there anything else? It's alright, just say it directly."
Sato Miwako's intuition as a Detective was very sharp.
She sensed that the young nurse seemed to be afraid of something, so she asked softly.
"Um... Dr. asked me to ask..."
"Why... why did you let the patient... eat so much..."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Sato Miwako was a little puzzled.
"Mr. Akikawa is a patient with liver insufficiency... He shouldn't eat too much..."
"And even if he were to eat, it should be consumed with liver protectants and anti-nausea medications like Ondansetron or Domperidone..."
"But Mr. Akikawa ate more food than he usually could accept without taking any medication... Dr. felt it was very strange, so he wanted me to ask..."
The young nurse kept glancing at Nakajima Takuto over there while explaining.
She knew that it was this Detective who had replaced the nurse in providing breakfast to Akikawa Sosuke.
Although the young nurse spoke tactfully,
Sato Miwako immediately understood that Akikawa Sosuke's physical condition had deteriorated because he had eaten too much.
Her eyebrows knitted together, and she looked at Nakajima Takuto, asking coldly:
"Nakajima, you were the one who got breakfast for Akikawa, right? What's going on?"
"I... I don't know!! I didn't hear that he had liver failure!"
Nakajima Takuto was startled. Why were the negative buffs on Akikawa Sosuke increasing?
With so many ailments, it was truly not easy for him to live to be twenty years old.
But he really didn't know about this matter.
"Wait a minute, could Mr. Akikawa's liver failure symptoms be caused by taking too much Triazolam? I remember that taking too many sleeping pills can affect liver and kidney function."
Conan looked at the young nurse and asked.
"If that's the case, Mr. Nakajima shouldn't have known about this."
"No... Dr. said this should be an old problem that the patient has had for a very, very long time."
"And the patient should show a very resistant expression when eating... He should also know that he can't eat without taking medication..."
"That's why Dr. found it so strange that he ate so much..."
The young nurse's words once again caused the gazes in the room to focus on Nakajima Takuto.
Nakajima Takuto's face turned ugly again.
He remembered!
When he first asked Akikawa Sosuke to drink rice porridge, Akikawa Sosuke had shown a very resistant expression.
And later, under his continuous questioning, Akikawa Sosuke had also experienced severe vomiting.
He had originally thought that was due to excessive stress.
Now it seemed it was entirely due to eating excessively without taking medication, combined with liver failure.
As for the reason for Akikawa Sosuke's excessive eating, it was self-evident.
At that time, Akikawa Sosuke was focused on talking to him,
So he was worried that refusing his food would make him unhappy.
He had no choice but to conceal the problem of being unable to eat and forced himself to eat excessive food.
For him, who had no idea that Akikawa Sosuke suffered from liver failure, this could at most be considered a mistake.
But just now, the scene of him forcing Akikawa Sosuke to confess in the hospital room was seen by someone.
It was likely that no one would believe his explanation now.
Anyone would think,
That he must have forced Akikawa Sosuke to eat excessive food!
Having figured this out, Nakajima Takuto felt a surge of anger welling up in his chest,
Wishing he could just beat that idiot to death, who was clearly an adult but still had the mindset of a child.
"You couldn't eat, you have liver insufficiency, why didn't you say anything?!"
"Why did you have to force yourself to eat it and then vomit it out?!"
"How can there be such a stupid person in this world!!"
Nakajima Takuto cursed Akikawa Sosuke in his heart.
But when he came back to his senses, he found that everyone in the room except for the young nurse was casting angry glances at him.
For Nakajima Takuto, the angry stares from others were bearable.
But only Sato Miwako's gaze, filled with anger, made his spine run cold.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the young nurse quickly exited the room.
Sato Miwako slapped the table, and a 'bang' sound immediately echoed in the small room.
"Nakajima Takuto! As a Detective, don't you know that handling cases requires evidence?!"
Sato Miwako called out Nakajima Takuto's full name this time, clearly having reached the peak of her anger.
"Less than 24 hours have passed since the incident, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's investigation has just begun."
"Yet you are conducting suggestive questioning and forced confessions on the suspect based solely on speculation!"
"Does achieving merit mean more to you than the truth?"
"That Akikawa Sosuke is so weak. If he truly isn't the culprit, but is forced to confess by you, would you also consider this your own achievement and disregard the lives of others?"
"No, no, no, I would absolutely never do such a thing!" Nakajima Takuto quickly denied.
However, Sato Miwako's face did not show any sign of believing him.
"I'm asking you, what else have you been hiding from me?"
"Nothing! There's really nothing left!!"
Nakajima Takuto was so frightened by Sato Miwako's furious appearance that his face turned ashen, and he quickly said.
"Alright, if I find out that you are still hiding something or acting against the rules, then you won't need to be a Detective anymore."
"No, Officer Sato!! I was wrong, truly wrong! I shouldn't have acted arbitrarily!"
Nakajima Takuto quickly apologized repeatedly upon hearing Sato Miwako's words.
"You are not needed for the remainder of this case. Go back and report this matter to Officer Toda yourself."
Sato Miwako ultimately gave Nakajima Takuto a chance.
If she were to report it herself, Nakajima Takuto's position as a Detective would likely not be secure.
"Yes!"
Nakajima Takuto felt as if he had received a great pardon. He quickly bowed and left the room.
Nakajima Takuto found that
Even after leaving the hospital, his hands were still trembling uncontrollably.
And at this moment, in his right pocket,
His trembling right hand was tightly gripping the voice recorder he had used in Akikawa Sosuke's hospital room.
Originally, after hearing that Akikawa Sosuke would receive over 100 million yen in compensation due to Akikawa Ryoko's death,
Nakajima Takuto had been prepared to hand over this voice recorder.
Because the voice recorder clearly recorded Akikawa Sosuke's fabricated lie to him about a third person on a motorcycle stabbing his mother.
And after hearing him say that the Police had not found any other fingerprints on the dagger,
Akikawa Sosuke had added the detail of the non-existent killer wearing gloves on the spot.
However,
Besides Akikawa Sosuke's part, this voice recorder also clearly recorded his own recording of losing his temper and angrily cursing and forcing Akikawa Sosuke to confess because Akikawa Sosuke had played him.
In addition to that,
There was also a recording of him leaking the absolutely confidential information that there were no other fingerprints on the murder weapon to Akikawa Sosuke.
Just now,
Nakajima Takuto was still thinking that
Even if he were punished, as long as he could make Akikawa Sosuke confess, he could make up for his mistakes with merit.
Now, after experiencing Sato Miwako's anger just now, this idea had been completely dispelled by Nakajima Takuto.
"How could I hand it over? If Officer Sato and Officer Toda found out, I would definitely lose my Detective status..."
Nakajima Takuto felt a wave of fear.
He knew that
After he had subconsciously denied Sato Miwako's questioning just now, he no longer had the opportunity to hand over the voice recorder.
"I don't care anymore, you guys can ask the rest yourselves."
Thinking this, Nakajima Takuto took out the voice recorder and deleted the recording that could affect his career as a Detective.
