Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Major Error



Miwako Sato's words caused Takuto Nakajima, who had been hanging by the wall, to suddenly raise his head.

Then, along with everyone else, he directed his gaze toward the three documents.

On the table were a mandatory liability insurance contract and two life insurance contracts.

The so-called mandatory liability insurance is equivalent to Japan's mandatory traffic insurance.

It is essential insurance for anyone who buys a car in Japan.

The life insurance is similar to life insurance, which is a policy that you must apply for directly from an insurance company.

"Although this document is signed with the name of Ryoko Akikawa, it is not necessarily the insurance Ryoko Akikawa took out for herself."

"Because once you obtain the seal and the insurance card, even your children or spouse can approach the insurance company to insure your family."

Upon hearing Miwako Sato's words,

Takuto Nakajima seemed to have grabbed a straw that saved his life and quickly said out loud, excited:

"As long as Akikawa Ryoko dies, Akikawa Kyousuke will not only be free from his mother's abuse, but he will also receive a huge compensation that will leave him worry-free for the rest of his life!"

"Although the death benefit is considered an inheritance, the government will not tax it!"

"Akikawa Kyousuke is the major beneficiary of Akikawa Ryoko's death this time. He has enough reason to kill!!"

"He had indeed planned all of this a long time ago, so he took out those two life insurance policies for his mother!"

Nakajima Takuto's speech once again stirred up disgust from Sera Masumi. She looked at Nakajima Takuto and asked:

"If Akikawa Kyousuke was just after the insurance money, why would he commit suicide after his mother's death?"

"But in the end, didn't he die? He must have known that no matter how many sleeping pills he took, nothing would happen, just to hide the fact that he killed someone for insurance money."

"No, Nakajima-kun, you're mistaken here."

Chiba Kazunobu suddenly spoke, leaving Takuto Nakajima stunned for a moment.

"The doctor detected a concentration of triazolam in Akikawa's body last night that seriously exceeded the standard. Therefore, it was determined that the amount of sleeping pills Akikawa Kyousuke took was enough to cause death."

"In other words, the fact that Akikawa is still alive is very strange."

"If it were really for the insurance money, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to swallow a lethal dose of sleeping pills."

"That's all."

Takuto Nakajima was choked by Chiba Kazunobu's words.

After thinking for a moment, he hurriedly said:

"The insurance was taken out by Ryoko Akikawa for herself and has nothing to do with Akikawa Kyousuke! And Akikawa Kyousuke's plan from the start was to kill his mother and then commit suicide!"

Just as Miwako Sato was about to speak, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Please, come in."

Miwako Sato shouted, and then a young nurse entered.

"Did you find anything?" asked Chiba Kazunobu.

"Well, Mr. Akikawa is already receiving treatment for his fracture."

The small nurse seemed somewhat afraid in front of the criminal police.

"Oh, that's all. Thank you."

Miwako Sato thanked the nurse and then quietly asked:

"Excuse me, is there anything else? Don't worry, just tell me."

Miwako Sato's intuition as a detective is very sharp.

She noticed that the small nurse seemed afraid of something, so she asked quietly.

"Well, the doctor asked me to inquire."

"Why are you letting the patients eat so much?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Miwako Sato was a bit confused.

"Mr. Akikawa is a patient with liver dysfunction. He shouldn't be able to eat too much."

"And even if he must eat, he should take it with liver protectants and anti-nausea medications like ondansetron or domperidone."

"But Mr. Akikawa ate more food than usual without taking any medication. The doctor thought it was strange, so he wanted me to ask."

The small nurse kept looking at Takuto Nakajima as she explained.

She knew that it was the detective who had served breakfast to Akikawa Kyousuke, not the nurse.

Although the nurse said it tactfully,

Miwako Sato immediately realized that Akikawa Kyousuke's physical condition must have deteriorated from overeating.

She raised an eyebrow, looked at Takuto Nakajima, and asked coldly:

"Nakajima-kun, were you the one who went to get breakfast for Akikawa? What's going on?"

"I—I don't know!! I never heard he had liver failure!"

Takuto Nakajima was stunned; why did Akikawa Kyousuke have so many disadvantages?

It's not easy to live to twenty with all these illnesses.

But he really knew nothing about this.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Akikawa's liver failure symptoms aren't caused by taking too much triazolam, right? I remember that taking too many sleeping pills can affect the liver and kidneys."

Conan asked while looking at the small nurse.

"In this case, Mr. Nakajima probably didn't know about this."

"But the doctor said it should be an old problem that the patient has had for a long time."

"And the patient must be very resistant when it comes to eating. He must know that he can't eat without taking medication."

"That's why the doctor thought it was strange that he had eaten so much."

The small nurse's words once again drew everyone's eyes to Nakajima Takuto.

Takuto Nakajima's expression turned ugly once again.

He remembered!

When he first asked Akikawa Kyousuke to drink rice porridge, Akikawa Kyousuke had shown great resistance.

Later, during his series of interrogations, Akikawa Kyousuke also had violent vomiting.

At first, he thought it was due to excessive stress.

Now it seems it was basically caused by liver failure and overeating without taking medication. As for the reason Akikawa Kyousuke ate too much, it's obvious.

At that moment, Akikawa Kyousuke was just trying to chat with him,

so he was worried that Akikawa Kyousuke wouldn't be happy if he rejected the food.

He had no choice but to hide his inability to eat and forced himself to eat excessive amounts.

Obviously, for him, who had no idea Akikawa Kyousuke had liver failure, this was at most a mistake.

But right now, someone saw him forcing Akikawa Kyousuke to confess in the room.

I'm afraid no one will believe his own explanation now.

Anyone would think that

he must have forced Akikawa Kyousuke to eat too much!

After realizing this, Takuto Nakajima felt his anger boiling in his chest

and wanted to kill the idiot who was obviously an adult but still had the mind of a child.

"You can't eat. You have liver failure. Why didn't you tell me?!"

"Why did you have to eat it and then spit it out?!"

"How can there be such stupid people in this world!!"

Takuto Nakajima cursed Akikawa Kyousuke in his heart.

After coming to his senses, he realized that everyone in the room, except the small nurse, was looking at him with anger.

For Takuto Nakajima, the looks from others were fine.

But only the angry gaze from Miwako Sato sent chills down his spine.

The small nurse saw something was wrong and hurriedly left the room.

Miwako Sato slammed the table, and suddenly a "bang" was heard from the small room.

"Takuto Nakajima! As a criminal police officer, don't you know you must pay attention to the evidence when handling cases?"

Miwako Sato shouted Takuto Nakajima's full name, obviously extremely angry.

"It's been less than 24 hours since the incident occurred, and the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation has barely started."

"But you just used assumptions to induce and force suspects to confess!"

"Are meritorious actions more important to you than the truth?"

"That Akikawa Kyousuke is so weak. If he really isn't a criminal, but you forced him to confess to his crime, would you still consider this your merit and not care about other people's lives or deaths?"

"No, no, no, I would never do such a thing!" Takuto Nakajima quickly denied.

However, Miwako Sato's face showed no sign of conviction.

"Let me ask you, what else are you hiding from me?"

"Nothing more! Really, nothing more!!"

Takuto Nakajima was so frightened by Miwako Sato's angry gaze that his face turned pale and he quickly said.

"Alright, if I find out you're hiding something or doing something illegal again, you won't be a detective anymore."

"No, Officer Sato!! I was wrong, really wrong! I shouldn't have acted arbitrarily!"

After hearing what Miwako Sato said, Takuto Nakajima quickly apologized.

"You don't need to be involved in the follow-up of this case. You can go back and report this incident to Officer Toda."

Miwako Sato finally gave Takuto Nakajima a chance.

If she reported it herself, then Takuto Nakajima's identity as a detective could really be lost.

"Yes!"

Nakajima Takuto, as if granted amnesty, quickly bowed, saluted, and left the room.

Discovered by Takuto Nakajima.

Even after leaving the hospital, his hands still trembled uncontrollably.

At that moment, in his right pocket,

his trembling right hand tightly held the recorder he had used to record in Akikawa Kongsuke's room.

Originally, after Nakajima Takuto learned that Akikawa Kyusuke would receive over 100 million yen in compensation for Ryoko Akikawa's death,

he was ready to hand over the recorder.

Because the voice recorder clearly captured what Akikawa Kosuke had lied about and gathered details regarding the murder of his mother by a third party on a motorcycle.

And after hearing what he said, the police had not found any fingerprints of others on the dagger,

Akikawa Kousuke added the fact that the nonexistent killer had worn gloves at the scene.

However,

This voice recorder contained everything except Akikawa Kyusuke.

It also clearly recorded him angrily shouting at Akikawa Kyusuke for mocking him and forcing Akikawa Kyusuke to confess.

Additionally,

There was also a recording in which Akikawa Kyusuke was leaked the absolutely confidential fact that there were no fingerprints of others on the murder weapon.

At this moment,

Nakajima Takuto was still thinking,

Even if he is punished, as long as he could make Akikawa Kongsuke admit his guilt, he would be able to make up for his mistakes.

Now, after experiencing Miwako Sato's anger earlier, Nakajima Takuto has completely dismissed this idea.

"How could I hand it over? If Officer Sato and Officer Toda find out about this, I'll definitely lose my identity as a detective."

Nakajima Takuto felt scared for a moment.

He knew it.

After unconsciously denying Sato Miwako's question earlier, he no longer had the chance to hand over the recorder.

"I don't care, I'll let you ask the rest yourself."

Nakajima Takuto thought to himself, took out the recording pen, and deleted the recording related to his career as a criminal police officer.
