Multiple choice system: Conan World

While Akikawa Kyousuke was under treatment,

The Metropolitan Police Department also concluded their investigation.

Subsequently, Wataru Takagi from the Criminal Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department took relevant information from the Metropolitan Police Department and went to the hospital.

"Previously, investigations on cases took a long time, but this time it was surprisingly simple."

"Because neither the victim nor the victim's interpersonal relationships are complicated."

Takagi said to everyone in the room.

"Akikawa Ryoko divorced a long time ago, and her ex-husband also died in an accident many years ago."

"In addition to Akikawa Kyuosuke, Akikawa Ryoko also has a daughter who followed her father when her parents divorced."

"After the police contacted Akikawa Ryoko's daughter, she was quite shocked by her mother's death."

"However, since the daughter and her mother had no contact since the divorce, she has no knowledge of her mother's interpersonal relationships."

"Furthermore, we also found Akikawa Ryoko's medical records at Akikawa Kyousuke's house, which showed that Akikawa Ryoko was diagnosed with schizophrenia."

Although Conan and the others were slightly surprised when they heard the news, it wasn't too much of a shock.

Because a mother who can imprison her son is more likely to have a mental problem.

"Say, Officer Takagi."

Conan looked up and asked Takagi Wataru.

"Was the victim diagnosed with schizophrenia before or after the divorce?"

"Before the divorce."

Takagi Shibi looked at the information in his hand and gave a positive answer.

"Well, how could a person with schizophrenia still get custody of their children?"

"Being ill before the divorce, is it something like domestic violence?"

"No, it seems there's no need to worry about that. My ex-husband is already dead, and they divorced a long time ago."

Conan murmured a few words quietly and concluded that the victim's experience with her ex-husband was of little help in this case.

"Later, the Metropolitan Police visited the restaurant where the victim occasionally worked. When they learned the victim was dead, everyone acted very shocked."

"Basically, everyone who worked with Ryoko Akikawa said she was usually silent and withdrawn, hardly speaking to them at all."

"So, even though Ryoko Akikawa worked at that restaurant for three years, she didn't have many friends."

"After the police asked if they had ever noticed Akikawa Ryoko had any mental problems, everyone answered negatively."

"Also, Ryoko Akikawa didn't go to work very often, about four times a week."

After hearing what Takagi Wataru said, Sera Masumi began to lower her head and analyze.

"Four times a week. Even if she worked eight hours a day, according to Tokyo's minimum hourly wage, she could barely earn a salary of about 130,000 yen per month."

"Plus rent, they also have a car and have to pay parking every month, along with three insurances."

"They still rent an apartment. Can this kind of income really support the lives of a mother and child?"

Sera was confused.

"Although their income isn't high, they can still survive. After all, Akikawa Kyusuke doesn't need much money to eat."

Miwako Sato said.

"Eh? How did Miss Sera know they were renting an apartment?"

Takagi Wataru was confused.

"Think about it, how could someone who moves frequently buy an apartment?"

"So that's it."

Takagi nodded.

"As for the suspect Akikawa Kyousuke, the police contacted the elementary school he attended, and the result of the investigation is that no one has any contact with him."

"Combined with the previously determined fact that Akikawa Kyousuke was placed under house arrest by his mother, he should have no interpersonal relationships at all."

"The above is the information related to the case that the Metropolitan Police Department has learned."

"That's all."

Everyone in the room frowned when they heard this.

"There are almost no human connections, which means it's unlikely there are any enemies."

"Given this poor and limited life, it's hard to imagine someone could harbor such hatred for Akikawa Ryoko."

"Basically, revenge by strangers can be ruled out."

"So the only person who could satisfy their hatred of Akikawa Ryoko and benefit from her death is Akikawa Kyusuke?"

Conan analyzed quietly.

"But this statement contradicts the suspect Akikawa Kousuke's own confession, because he said his mother was murdered by a motorcyclist."

—added Miwako Sato.

She had heard Takuto Nakajima's report and also learned that Akikawa Kousuke had said the perpetrator was someone else.

"It seems Akikawa Kyousuke is most likely to lie."

After four hours of treatment, Akikawa Kyousuke was sent back to his room.

Although he had only traveled through time for a day,

Akikawa Kyusuke always felt that this day could be more exhausting than a week.

Maybe it was because so many things happened in this short period of time.

"Liver failure, anemia, severe malnutrition, a fracture in the right hand, traumatic brain injury, and several bruises on the body."

"Am I going to live with this body in the future?"

Although Akikawa Kyusuke knew he would have a second chance in life after death, there was really nothing to complain about.

But as he got to know himself better, Akikawa Kyousuke couldn't help but feel tired.

"Speaking of which, as long as I complete the system options, I should be able to get accessories like the [Recovery Card] I saw before the upgrade. It should be able to cure all these old ailments in my body."

"It's outrageous that a child can be raised like this by his mother."

Just as Akikawa Kyousuke was staring at the ceiling and muttering to himself, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Then he saw a tall woman in a suit enter, along with Sera Masumi and Conan, whom he had met before.

"Another detective, seems to have a higher rank than Nakajima."

"But Nakajima didn't come this time. Looks like he was forced to withdraw from the case due to the coerced confession."

"Speaking of which, the handsome detective next to the elementary school Shinigami student has a terrifying fighting ability."

Akikawa Kyousuke complained to himself.

"Hello, Mr. Akikawa, I am a detective from Section 3 of the Criminal Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department. My name is Sato Miwako."

Miwako Sato had no intention of hiding her identity, but walked directly in front of Akikawa Kyusuke and showed her police officer badge.

"First of all, I want to apologize for Officer Nakajima, who did something excessive to Mr. Akikawa."

"Although it may be difficult for Mr. Akikawa to understand, Officer Nakajima will also be punished accordingly when he returns to the Metropolitan Police Department."

"Wow."

Looking at the beautiful police officer in front of him who sincerely bowed to him, Akikawa Kyousuke responded calmly.

As for the punishment Miwako Sato mentioned, Kyousuke Akikawa didn't fully believe it.

After all, how they would be punished at that moment was not an internal matter.

"Although I don't hold a grudge against Nakajima. After all, I owe him for getting me out of the case."

"Next, you should take me to the Metropolitan Police Department for interrogation, right? As long as I'm not with the detectives, the problem isn't too big..."

Akikawa Kyousuke thought to himself.

Then he heard Miwako Sato straighten up and continue speaking to herself:

"Although it's rude to interrupt Mr. Akikawa right after he's had surgery, I still want to ask Mr. Akikawa some questions about this case."

"Eh?"
