In Conan, people have a brain option system

Toda Kyouji has been watching Akikawa Kyousuke's reaction.

he noticed.

After Akikawa Kyusuke saw the inspection report in his hand, his jewel-like blue eyes trembled obviously.

Not only that.

Kyusuke Akikawa pursed his lips slightly, and the subtle movements of his cheek and jaw muscles becoming tense for a moment were also not ignored by Kyouji Toda.

‘It seems that my heart has begun to waver. ’

The micro-expression on Akikawa Kousuke's cheek, which represents the inner shake, is also fleeting on his cheek just like before.

In other words, Akikawa Kyusuke is trying to hide his emotions again.

'The response was quick, but not quick enough. ’

'It may be enough to deceive ordinary criminal police, but you may not imagine that the most violent criminals I have come into contact with before. ’

‘Your micro-expressions can’t fool my eyes at all. ’

Toda Kyouji thought in his heart.

He judged from Akikawa Kousuke's behavior of deliberately concealing his shaken reaction that Akikawa Kousuke must have exposed a flaw.

So where is the flaw?

Although Toda Kyouji was not personally involved in that case.

But relying on his intuition as a criminal policeman for so many years, he quickly realized that it must be related to sleeping pills.

And among the inspection records in his hand, the most important information about sleeping pills is also obvious.

That is——

Based on the concentration of triazolam in Akikawa's body, the doctor determined that Akikawa took sleeping pills after the car accident.

Then consider Akikawa Kyousuke’s subsequent behavior of shifting the suspicion to the non-existent motorcyclist.

Toda Kyouji quickly thought of Akikawa Kyusuke's method.

*snap*

Toda Kyouji clapped his hands and looked at Akikawa Kyusuke opposite with a smile on his face.

"What I admire most about you is that in order to cover up the truth, you are always willing to take huge risks, and you are always able to do it almost seamlessly."

"In order to appear like a victim in this case, you injured your head in the car accident."

"In order to make yourself appear unqualified to commit murder, you broke your right hand."

"But just doing it to this extent is not enough."

"Because your mother's huge insurance money will definitely make you a subject of suspicion."

"So to distance yourself from the insurance money, you took sleeping pills."

"And you know that you will definitely be sent to the hospital for examination after the car accident, and then the fact that you swallowed sleeping pills after the car accident will definitely be exposed."

"At that time, you will definitely be suspected of committing murder and then committing suicide."

"And in order to cover up this matter, you deliberately threw away the box of sleeping pills, so that the police and detectives could not determine the source of the sleeping pills you took."

"In this way, there is a possibility that a third party will feed you sleeping pills."

"It's exactly the same as the last two cases. Once again, you buried the witnesses, the murder weapon and the motive for the crime."

"Thus evading suspicion."

"Detectives can't tell the truth because they don't know the real you."

"And after I got to know your impeccable character, your modus operandi became clear at a glance!"

Akikawa Kyusuke slowly lowered his head after listening to Toda Kyouji's reasoning.

Maroon bangs covered Akikawa Kyousuke's cheeks.

Also covered were the slightly curved corners of his mouth.

Akikawa Kyusuke knew.

From now on, no matter what he plays, Toda Kyouji will think that this is his true face.

‘This time, let’s play “Akikawa Kyusuke” that fits the image in your mind. ’

——

Toda Kyouji looked at the person opposite with his head hanging down. Akikawa Kousuke.

He knew that he was the general.

Because he revealed Akikawa Kyusuke's crime-committing methods with one word, it meant that he completely tore off the mask on his face.

Kyouji Toda was looking forward to it in his heart.

Curious about Akikawa Kyusuke who had completely torn off the child mask on his face,

What does it really look like under the mask?

Then Kyouji Toda saw Akikawa Kousuke slowly raise his head.

It was like watching Sae Kotani, played by Akikawa Kyusuke, make his debut in the Imperial Theater.

Akikawa Kyousuke's whole temperament also completed a sudden change in the blink of an eye.

only.

This time, Akikawa Kyousuke didn't have the warmth and vitality that Otani Sae had before. Just seeing him made him feel like he was being radiated by the sun, and he couldn't help but feel cheerful.

On the contrary,

Just glancing at it, it felt like a biting cold wind swept through the whole body, and the cold temperament penetrated from the skin to the bones.

"Kyoshi Toda, do you think you know me very well?"

A voice that was completely different from the slightly silly and clumsy voice before sounded.

This voice was cold to the bone, without any emotional warmth.

"Yes, I know him better than anyone else in the world."

Kyouji Toda crossed his arms and answered with an interested expression.

His black eyes had a playful expression, staring into Akikawa Kyusuke's sharp blue eyes.

There was no fear at all in Toda Kyouji's heart. Instead, he felt extremely happy.

‘That’s the way it is. ’

‘Only this look is worth destroying.’

‘I have torn off your mask.’

‘Next, I want to see your confidence collapse little by little and your expression of despair on this face.’

Toda Kyoji saw Akikawa Sosuke approaching him, but his footsteps did not move at all.

Toda Kyoji was not afraid of Akikawa Sosuke attacking him.

On the contrary.

He hoped that Akikawa Sosuke would get angry and attack him.

Because as long as Akikawa Sosuke attacked him first, he would have the reason for "legitimate defense".

This came from Toda Kyoji's absolute confidence in his skills.

Just seeing the huge physical gap between himself and Akikawa Sosuke, Toda Kyoji knew.

No matter how superb Akikawa Sosuke's skills were, he could not beat him.

However, he did not wait for Akikawa Sosuke to take action.

But I heard Akikawa Sosuke's voice:

"Kyoji Toda, deputy inspector of the third section of the first investigation division of the Metropolitan Police Department."

"I'm in my early 40s, I have no family, and I'm not married."

"The reason you're not married is that you're worried that your family will become your weakness and become someone else's handle?"

"Oh, it seems I guessed right."

"Then you weren't in the first investigation division before, and you just joined the third section of the third section of the violent criminal investigation a few years ago. Where were you before? SAT (Special Assault Team)? MST (Mobile Search Team)? Organized Crime Countermeasures Department?"

"Oh, it seems to be the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department."

Kyoji Toda suddenly became alert after hearing what Akikawa Sosuke said.

For a moment, he even thought that Akikawa Sosuke had investigated him beforehand.

However, after hearing Akikawa Sosuke's next few words, he realized that Akikawa Sosuke was actually analyzing him in person.

It's just that.

He had just relaxed for a short while, but then he tensed up again because of Akikawa Sosuke's next words.

"Where did the wound on his eye come from? Was it a drug dealer? The underworld? A violent gang? A transnational criminal organization?"

"Oh, a transnational criminal organization."
