Chapter 25 The End and the Beginning

It took Akikawa Sosuke more than an hour to get to the apartment rented by the original owner and his mother through the map given to him by Kuriyama Midori.

The first thing he saw was the mottled exterior wall with peeling wall paint.

The obvious black marks on the wall showed that the building in front of him had obviously experienced years of wind and rain erosion.

According to Japan's "Building Standards Law", wooden cheap apartments are allowed to be built up to two floors.

The room of the original owner and his mother is Room 202 on the second floor.

The entrance of the apartment does not have the automatic door lock that is standard for collective buildings of this era, which means that anyone can enter the apartment at will.

The handrail of the stairs is covered with thick reddish-brown rust, making it difficult to start.

The old iron stairs made a "creaking" wail after being stepped on by Akikawa Sosuke.

This old and dilapidated building is trying its best to tell the embarrassment of the tenants inside.

Akikawa Sosuke opened the door with the key and entered the house, and a hot and humid breath came to his face.

Obviously, the insulation material of the house has long lost its ability.

The small apartment of only 15 square meters, including the entrance, kitchen, toilet and bedroom, is as hot and humid as a steamer.

Surprisingly, even the room that has been searched by the Metropolitan Police Department is still tidy.

There is no stereotype of NEET homes filled with garbage bags and instant noodle boxes.

"The original owner was imprisoned at home by his mother for a long time, and he also has a serious eating disorder..."

"But why do I feel that this house is still quite full of life...?"

"Except for the kitchen..."

Akikawa Sosuke found that there were relatively few things in this house except for kitchen utensils and seasonings, but he didn't find anything strange.

It looks like a house where a person with limited financial resources lives.

"There is actually a TV and a DVD player, which is really old-fashioned..."

Akikawa Sosuke looked at the big-butt TV placed on the TV cabinet and the disc player placed on the TV, and couldn't help but sigh.

He was a little curious about what kind of movies such a family would watch.

Akikawa Sosuke opened the cabinet under the TV and saw that most of the movies inside were covered with plastic shells, with numbers and store names on them.

"They are rented discs, and the content is surprisingly normal."

From foreign movies to Japanese TV dramas, there are even variety shows and idol movies.

The types of discs cover a wide range, and Akikawa Sosuke could not see the special preferences of the original owner and his mother.

"Idol discs, this one is not rented."

Akikawa Sosuke found a box of discs without plastic shells in the cabinet, and the packaging looked quite old.

There were photos of four young girls on the cover, and the title was "Earth Ladies Team", which should be the name of an idol group.

And under one of the girls with chestnut hair and blue eyes, Akikawa Sosuke found a familiar name-

Okino Yoko.

"Okino Yoko... I seem to have seen this name on TV this morning."

Akikawa Sosuke has a good memory, and even things that he only glanced at inadvertently can often leave a mark in his heart.

In Akikawa Sosuke's memory, the name of Okino Yoko that he saw on TV this morning seemed to be different from the description of Okino Yoko now.

He turned over to look at the information on the back of the box and found that this was actually a disc from six years ago. He immediately understood.

"No wonder the description is different. It turns out that in six years, she has evolved from an 'idol' to a 'national goddess'."

Akikawa Sosuke said to himself in his heart.

"Is it the idol that the original owner likes? It seems that she is a real fan."

"Otherwise, she would not have moved so many times and kept this box of videos."

Akikawa Sosuke was not interested in idols, but he still opened the box.

After he opened the box, the first thing he saw was not a round DVD disc, but a stack of folded paper.

Akikawa Sosuke vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he took out the paper inside and opened it to read.

However, just one glance made Akikawa Sosuke's eyes widen suddenly.

The content on the paper in front of him was extremely familiar.

It was the insurance contract that he had seen before at the Hime Law Firm.

Akikawa Sosuke hurriedly flipped through the contract, and at the same time, his mouth couldn't help but make a sound of inhalation.

"Is it true..."

Akikawa Sosuke could never have imagined it.

This small box of idol videos actually contained three life insurance contracts from different insurance companies.

The three insurance policies were all insured on August 22, three years ago.

The total amount of death compensation exceeded 120 million yen.

However, what surprised Akikawa Sosuke the most was not the amount.

It was the name of the insured.

It was not the original owner's mother Akikawa Ryoko,

but himself.

——

Time flies like water, and the years pass by.

The days of staying at home passed by in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, four weeks have passed.

During this period, Akikawa Sosuke received 105 million yen in insurance compensation with the help of lawyer Midori Kuriyama.

According to Japanese tax law, inheritance tax is required for inheritance.

But the tax office often turns a blind eye to death benefits.

After repaying the debts that had also increased due to inheriting his mother's inheritance and the commission fees of the lawyer Miss Kuriyama Midori, Akikawa Kyusuke was left with 96 million yen.

Later, as he completed the system's tasks, Akikawa Kosuke obtained a [Recovery Card] that could restore any injury, disease, or poisoning.

And using the [Recovery Card], I cured the liver insufficiency problem that was the biggest threat to me at this moment.

In the end, Akikawa spent 900,000 yen to buy a space in a public cemetery near the apartment he rented, where he planned to bury the ashes of the original owner's mother.

Today is the day when Kyusuke Akikawa will place the ashes of the original owner’s mother.

After the placement was completed, Akikawa Kongsuke laid out the tributes and lit the incense sticks.

Then he closed his eyes and clasped his hands in front of the tombstone.

A month ago, on the day Akikawa Kyousuke returned to his apartment for the first time, he found three high-cost insurance policies for himself in the DVD box on the TV cabinet.

This suddenly made the case a month ago become confusing.

but--

"Sorry, although the real cause of your two deaths seems to be open to debate, I am not a detective, and I have no intention of continuing to explore the truth behind your two deaths."

"The story of Akikawa Kyusuke and Akikawa Ryoko can come to an end today."

Akikawa Kyusuke bowed slightly to the tombstone.

Afterwards, the purchased bouquet was placed in front of the tombstone.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly noticed someone staring at him.

Akikawa Kyusuke looked in the direction of his sight and saw a man wearing a cap, sunglasses and a mask staring at him not far away.

It's only late September now and the weather is still hot.

The other party's appearance was obviously extremely suspicious.

But I have to say, it does work.

In this case, it is basically impossible to determine the identity and physical characteristics of the other party.

Akikawa Kyusuke showed a puzzled expression, took a step toward the man, stretched out his hand and said hello:

"Excuse me, may I ask"

But before Akikawa Kousuke could finish his words, the man quickly turned around and walked away.

However, it was her move that made Akikawa Kongsuke notice the clues.

"I'm not a police officer, and I'm worried about being approached by the original owner."

"If it's just a general surveillance, you can pretend to be a grave-sweeper and get away with it."

"After all, running away is more suspicious."

"Not only was this man worried about me approaching, he also didn't say a word from beginning to end and kept his hands in his pockets."

"Hat, mask, sunglasses, sweatshirt, trousers. This kind of outfit will look extremely suspicious no matter where you put it on today in late September."

"But there is most likely only one reason why the other party still chooses to dress up like this."

Akikawa Kyousuke narrowed his eyes after confirming that the other party had disappeared from sight.

"Do you think that as long as you expose any of them, I might be able to identify you?"

After coming to this conclusion, Akikawa Kyousuke felt a little irritable.

Just when I was about to completely cut off contact with the original owner and start a new life today,

I actually met someone who seemed to be quite familiar with the original owner.

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to want to be recognized by me, and even covered himself up tightly to watch him from a distance.

That means that the other party will not take the initiative to disturb your life.

Well, probably.

Akikawa Kyusuke no longer hesitated, turned around and walked towards home.

He has found a new place to live.

Akikawa Kyusuke himself is not the talkative type, but he still prefers a lively environment with more people.

So I rented a one-bedroom, one-living high-end apartment in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo.

Less than ten minutes after Akikawa Kousuke returned to his old apartment, the moving company Akikawa Kousuke had reserved in advance arrived.

Afterwards, under the instructions of Akikawa Kyusuke, the staff loaded all the things that he had listed that needed to be taken away into the car.

Then it was shipped to Akikawa Kyousuke's new home in Shibuya.

The remaining old furniture and other things will be disposed of by the moving company.

but.

The original owner's insurance contract, as well as the original owner's mother's schizophrenia diagnosis certificate and other things that were discovered later, were still kept by Akikawa Kousuke.

——

A few moments.

Akikawa Kongsuke, who had settled into his new home, came to Shibuya Street.

While going to the store to buy some daily necessities for your new home,

I can't help but think about what I want to do next.

Although we have been human for two generations,

But this is the first time Akikawa Kyousuke has the opportunity to decide his own life and future.

Akikawa Kyousuke wants to take a break from his dangerous job and do something interesting.

At this time.

Akikawa Kyousuke suddenly felt his shoulder being tapped a few times.

"Hey, hello, bro."

Akikawa Kyusuke turned around and saw a man in a suit, dressed like a publicist, staring at him with a mocking smile on his face.

"Wow, brother, you are so handsome! Are you interested in becoming an artist?"

After seeing Akikawa Kyousuke's face, the man couldn't help but be amazed by Akikawa Kyousuke's appearance again.

As soon as he walked behind the other party, he noticed that the other party had an extraordinary temperament.

Unexpectedly, my facial lines looked like those drawn with a pen, with clear edges and corners, delicate and handsome.

He hurriedly handed a business card to Akikawa Kongsuke.

"I am a talent scout from Wonderful, my name is Hiroshi Kubo."

"My little brother is so handsome, he will definitely become famous!"

Akikawa Kyusuke's heart was completely unmoved by Kubo Hiroshi's pie-making behavior in front of him.

In addition, he himself doesn’t like this kind of soliciting and poaching people on the street.

So he was ready to refuse.

However, the words of rejection had just reached his lips,

The talent scout Kubo Hiroshi, who seemed to have noticed Akikawa Sora's interest, hurriedly said:

"We are not a third-rate small company, but the largest artist management company in Japan! You can find it online!"

So Akikawa Kyusuke took out the mobile phone he had just applied for and searched it directly in front of Hiroshi Kubo.

As expected, this company called Wonderful turned out to be the most powerful artist management company in Japan.

"You must have heard of Okino Yoko, right? That's our Wonderful one too!"

Mentioning the national goddess Okino Yoko, Hiroshi Kubo couldn't help but show a proud expression.

*bite*

The crisp mechanical sound sounded in Akikawa Kongsuke's mind again, and a translucent blue interface appeared in front of his eyes.

[Faced with a sudden invitation from a talent agency scout, what choice would you make? 】

【1.Reject the invitation】

[Reward: Agility +3]

【2.Accept the invitation and become an artist】

[Reward: Physique +3]

"I have been pretending to be someone else in my previous life. Do I have to continue to do the job of pretending to be someone else in this life?"

Akikawa Kyousuke whispered in his heart.

"But it seems quite interesting."

As for whether he would be suspected by detectives if he became an artist just after being cleared of suspicion, Akikawa Kongsuke was not worried at all.

Because if the Shinigami primary school student had reasoned out his previous performance during the interrogation,

Everything is a lie based on his acting skills and observation.

Then becoming an artist yourself is tantamount to self-exposure.

On the contrary, it is inconsistent with Conan's deduced image of his extremely analytical ability.

A fool may doubt himself.

But for a character with superior intelligence like a detective, his own behavior can actually reduce suspicion.

not to mention.

I am not afraid of detective suspicion. As long as there is no concrete evidence, even the detective cannot do anything to me.

Akikawa Kyousuke raised the corners of his mouth slightly and made a decision.

He nodded gently towards Kubo Hiroshi, who was staring at him eagerly.

When Kubo Hiroshi saw Akikawa Kyusuke nodding, he also showed an ecstatic expression as if he had won the lottery for a moment.
