Chapter 201 A Terrible Hypothesis (12)

After observing Chianti's body, Masumi Sera returned to Kosen-an.

Then he saw Conan sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, deep in thought.

Conan, who was thinking with his head down, noticed someone coming in, and immediately raised his head.

Then he looked surprised when he saw Masumi Sera.

"Miss Sera, why did you come back? Shouldn't you be receiving treatment in the hospital?"

"I'm fine, what happened? Why did Chianti die?"

Conan knew that Masumi Sera was just showing off. Given the degree of her poisoning, it was impossible for her to recover so quickly.

But he also knew that Masumi Sera was eager to solve the case.

In addition, he also had a lot of things he wanted to ask Masumi Sera,

so he told Masumi Sera that he noticed the strangeness of Masumi Sera suddenly changing the time and place of the handover, and that he ran into Vermouth and Chianti when he came back.

'Sure enough, it wasn't the kid who made Vermouth and Chianti look like this. ’

‘Vermouth really killed Chianti to prevent him from being caught.’

After confirming the situation with Conan, Masumi Sera found that it was basically consistent with her own judgment.

“It seems that there is someone else who caused Vermouth and Chianti to fail their mission and flee in a hurry.”

Conan said.

Masumi Sera nodded, agreeing with Conan’s judgment.

“Ms. Sera, have you seen that person?”

Conan looked at Masumi Sera and asked.

“No.”

Masumi Sera shook her head.

At that time, she fainted due to hydrogen sulfide poisoning and had no idea what happened after she fainted.

She also fell into deep thought and began to think about the identity of the mysterious man.

"Due to the lack of surveillance video, the identity of the mysterious man is almost impossible to find."

"I also observed Kunio Koizumi's room, and did not find any clues to identify the mysterious man."

"The police from the forensic department are now searching Kunio Koizumi's room, but I don't think he would leave fingerprints."

"And the biggest doubt is how the mysterious man knew about the transaction between the organization and Kunio Koizumi."

"This should be a secret known only to you, me, and Mr. Koizumi."

"Mr. Koizumi can't leak the secret, and Miss Sera can't either, so I can only think that the organization leaked the news."

"Since it is impossible to infer the other party's identity from substantial clues, I think we can only infer the identity of that person from the motive."

"At present, it seems that the person is not interested in the trading software, so the other party should only come for Vermouth and Chianti."

"But I think there should be countless people in this world who hate members of the organization, and this alone is simply looking for a needle in a haystack."

Conan said, and sighed deeply.

"Our original goal this time was to catch the members of the organization, but we failed."

"Although a core member of the organization with a code name died, Miss Sera also almost died."

"Moreover, the more threatening Vermouth also escaped."

"Miss Sera also exposed your appearance to the organization."

"We didn't get any useful information, so this mission can be said to be a complete failure."

Conan sighed.

Sera Masumi also felt a little sorry that Conan didn't identify the identity of the mysterious person who saved her.

But she was different from Conan who was pessimistic about this matter.

Sera Masumi didn't think that their plan this time was a waste of effort.

'At least, the murderer who killed Akikawa's mother died. '

'But it's a pity that we couldn't ask why Chianti was chasing Akikawa Ryoko. '

Sera Masumi thought to herself, and suddenly her heart moved.

'Wait. ’

‘Isn’t there someone here who hates Chianti and has sufficient motivation to attack Chianti? ’

Akikawa Sousuke.

——The artist who lost his mother because of Chianti.

‘Akikawa had planned his suicide four years ago. He was going to commit suicide the day after the suicide compensation period of his life insurance expired so that his mother could get the insurance money. ’

‘It can be seen that Akikawa Ryoko occupies a very important position in Akikawa Sousuke’s heart, and Akikawa has long lost the will to continue living. ’

‘However, the plan was broken by Chianti. ’

‘Akikawa, who should have died, survived, but his mother was killed by Chianti. ’

‘According to normal circumstances, the death of his mother should further destroy Akikawa’s will to continue living. ’

‘In this case, Akikawa is likely to commit suicide again. ’

Although at the time of the car accident, Sera Masumi did not know the truth of the matter.

But when they found out that Akikawa Sosuke had taken an overdose of sleeping pills and tried to commit suicide, they had already determined that Akikawa Sosuke might continue to commit suicide.

So the Metropolitan Police Department sent the detective Nakajima Takuto to monitor Akikawa Sosuke.

To prevent him from continuing to choose suicide to escape responsibility.

‘I remember that Officer Nakajima said that Akikawa Sosuke did not show any intention to commit suicide after waking up...’

‘Not only did he not show any intention to commit suicide, he even concealed many things from the Metropolitan Police Department. ’

Masumi Sera was shocked by her own thoughts.

Although her emotions were screaming in her mind --

This kind of thing is impossible!

But Masumi Sera couldn't help but continue thinking according to her own thoughts.

At the same time, she found that if she thought according to her own assumptions, many doubts in her heart could be explained.

Why did Akikawa Sosuke say that he was fed sleeping pills by others when he obviously swallowed the sleeping pills himself?

Because he hated Chianti who killed his mother, so he wanted to use this to increase Chianti's guilt.

Why did Akikawa Sosuke, who should have lost the motivation to live further due to the death of his mother who occupied a very high position in his heart, not show any suicidal intention after waking up?

Because after his mother was killed, he had a new motivation to live --

to take revenge on Chianti.

‘Just looking at the bruises left on Chianti's body, you can tell that the person hates Chianti very deeply. ’

‘Akikawa, it just fits this point. ’

Just when Sera Masumi was confused by her own thoughts.

She then realized something incredible.

Sera Masumi quickly reached out and patted Conan beside her, and said anxiously:

"Boy, you just said that you realized something was wrong after talking to Vermouth, and then when you came back, you ran into Vermouth and Chianti who were about to escape from Kosen-an, right?"

"Yes, what happened?"

Conan was puzzled.

"Did you get your bow-tie voice changer at that time?"

"No, wasn't that bow-tie voice changer held by Miss Sera?"

Conan looked confused.

"Oh, speaking of which, I picked up my voice changer in the lobby on the first floor later. Was it stolen and thrown away by Vermouth?"

Conan's words immediately set off a storm in Sera Masumi's mind.

'Boy, you got the voice changer after Vermouth escaped! ! ’

‘The person who pretended to be Kunio Koizumi and called the room at the beginning was not him! ’
