Chapter 67 Suspicion

Nakajima Takuto couldn't hide the look of shock on his face.

He thought it was a bad case of murder.

Unexpectedly, this case actually involved Akikawa Kongsuke, a man who had taught him a painful lesson.

Nakajima Takuto looked at the content recorded above,

I feel that the image of Akikawa Kūsuke in Nishihara Koichi's confession is completely different from the "child" image in his memory.

"Is Nishihara's confession credible? He said that after Akichuan was framed, he framed the blame back on him again?!"

"Let's not mention that with Akikawa's mental age, it is impossible for him to do such a thing."

"I simply can't understand Akikawa's motivation for doing such a thing. It's thankless, and isn't he afraid of being discovered?"

Nakajima Takuto's tone was full of disbelief.

"Fifty percent, but I don't think Nishihara has any reason to lie."

Kyouji Toda lit a cigarette, took a puff, and spoke slowly.

"Then wouldn't it be better for Nishihara to say it again in front of the camera? With Nishihara's confession, we can apply for a search warrant."

Before Takuto Nakajima finished speaking, he saw Kyouji Toda wave his hand impatiently.

"Are you stupid? Even if this is true, do you have proof?"

"Let me ask you, do you think Akikawa can break an adult's jaw?"

"No, it's impossible! Half a year ago, he was as thin as a bamboo pole, and it felt like it would break if he broke it lightly. How could he be so strong?"

"Then where did the reaction to life near the severed tongue of the deceased and inside the mouth come from? According to Nishihara, Uesugi Misaki was already dead at the time."

"this"

"There are also changes to the time of the deceased's murder. As long as this kind of thing is not discovered on the spot, it will be impossible to overturn the case later."

"You mean, Saihara is lying?"

Nakajima Takuto asked.

"Do you know why I said I'm only 50% sure?"

Toda Kyouji looked at Nakajima Takuto and asked.

"Based on my intuition as a criminal policeman for so many years, I am 90% sure that Koichi Nishihara just now really let down his guard against me and confessed the truth."

"But facts don't equal truth."

"Because Nishihara Koichi hates Akikawa, his guess may be seriously biased."

"As you said, Qiuchuan doesn't have the conditions to commit a crime, and we can't think of his method of committing a crime for the time being, so the certainty is reduced to 50%."

"But if that 50% possibility comes true, Akikawa is a criminal genius, so genius that even the detectives can't figure it out."

"However, Akikawa's greatest 'contribution' to me is that Koichi Nishihara personally confessed the fact that he committed murder."

Kyouji Toda thought of Koichi Nishihara, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face again.

"Then this."

Nakajima Takuto was speechless, and for a moment he couldn't understand Toda Kyouji's intention.

"Originally, I thought it might be Nishihara who was lying, but since you said that Akikawa was also the victim of the last car accident, it would be a bit of a coincidence."

"The detectives are indeed very capable, but after all, they are too focused on human nature and evidence, which is why many criminals are still able to escape justice."

"In my case, as long as it is confirmed that the person is a criminal, then there is no need to treat him as a human being, and I will not give him the opportunity to continue to harm others."

Kyouji Toda flicked the cigarette in his hand and blew out a plume of white smoke.

"Ah, by the way, go help me ask Officer Sato for the file on the car accident case. I heard the case is still open?"

"Yes. After checking the videos at the entrance and exit of the national highway, they found that there were too many motorcycle riders who fit the image of the prisoner in Akikawa's confession, and it was difficult for the police to locate the prisoner."

"Or is he making these up out of thin air? He deliberately used the most common images of motorcyclists to confuse the police's judgment."

"I don't know much about the follow-up of that case, but I heard that all the evidence at that time proved that a third party committed the crime."

Nakajima Takuto said.

"You go and ask for the case file first."

"If I think there is nothing wrong with Akikawa after reading it, this matter will be revealed."

"But if there is a problem, it's very simple."

"Wouldn't you know better if you ask yourself?"

Nakajima Takuto couldn't help but shudder when he saw the smile on Toda Kyouji's face.

——

"I always feel that Mr. Akikawa is much more well-proportioned now than when we first met."

"Although the figure still looks a little thin, I still need to add some padding to the clothes to make it look normal."

In the dressing room of the Empire Theatre.

The agent lady Itakura Misaki is talking non-stop to Akikawa Kyusuke.

One month has passed since the first performance of the last stage play "The Lost Lady: Voice of the Dead".

Because the actor who played a minor supporting role in the play was suspected of murder,

And another actor in a minor supporting role was injured.

In the end, the stage play had to be postponed.

Originally, Danny Hecker, played by Koichi Nishihara, was re-cast by director Mine Takemura, and rehearsals were carried out while Souji Akikawa was recuperating from his injury.

Akikawa Kyusuke returned to the Imperial Theater a week ago to participate in rehearsals.

And today is the day when "The Lost Lady: Voice of the Dead" resumes its performances at the Empire Theater.

Itakura Misaki stood opposite Akikawa Kyusuke.

Looking at the scar under his lifted bangs, he showed a very regretful expression on his face.

"Alas, he still has a scar. Mr. Akikawa has such a delicate face, it's such a pity."

"Anyway, the scar is on the forehead, and it can't be seen when the bangs are down, so it's no problem."

Akikawa Sosuke felt that the scar on his forehead was not obvious, so he didn't care much.

"Besides, with the current level of medical beauty, isn't it easy to cover up such scars?"

"But medical beauty is expensive! Mr. Akikawa, you haven't even finished your first job yet!"

"I'm not short of money, I just don't think it's necessary."

"What an infuriating statement!"

Just when Misaki Itakura was chatting with Akikawa Sousuke, she heard Akikawa Sousuke suddenly say:

"By the way, the performance is about to start, doesn't Ms. Itakura have to go to the audience?"

"Uh, I'm a little worried that Mr. Akikawa will be attacked by someone again"

"How is this possible? Do I have a body that can be killed?"

"That's true"

Misaki Itakura smiled awkwardly.

Then, after looking at the makeup artist who was doing her makeup seriously, she whispered:

"By the way, did Mr. Akikawa see today's news?"

"What happened?"

"The news just broke that Mr. Nishihara attacked a police officer in the interrogation room of the Metropolitan Police Department the day after his arrest!!"

"Oh?"

This was the first time Akikawa Sosuke had heard of this incident.

"Sure enough, a bad guy like him is rotten to the core!"

"Not only did he murder, but he also tortured the victim. He showed no remorse after being arrested in the Metropolitan Police Department, and even wanted to attack the police!"

"Such a person should be sentenced to death!"

Itakura Misaki said viciously.

Although she was not a victim, she hated Koichi Nishihara.

"Okay, if you don't leave now, the show is really going to start."

Akikawa Sosuke chuckled and reminded the indignant agent.

"Ah, yes! I'm leaving! Come on, Mr. Akikawa!"

After looking at the time, Itakura Misaki also showed a startled expression, and then hurriedly left the dressing room.

Not long after Itakura Misaki left, the makeup artist also finished her work.

After hearing the makeup artist close the door and leave, Akikawa Sosuke slowly opened his eyes.

Only Akikawa Sosuke knew.

Among the media reports on Koichi Nishihara's crimes, only the murder was true.

And Koichi Nishihara's attack on the police was inconsistent with his image.
