It's a good thing to vent your inner emotions.
But during his outburst, Hiroto Akashi was on the verge of emotional collapse.
The truth is too cruel.
He kept this cruel truth hidden in his heart for three whole years.
For three years, they only blocked the channels but didn't clear them.
It's like constantly inflating a balloon. Even if the balloon is made of good material and can hold a lot of air, there's a limit, and it will burst sooner or later.
Tonight's catharsis was like puncturing a small hole in Hiroto Akashi, who was already a fully inflated balloon.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Hiroto Akashi would have an emotional breakdown, and Uncle Mori understands this, which is why he agreed to his request to go for a beer.
But he did not expect Akashi Hiroto to do this.
Tonight, apart from losing control of his emotions when mentioning his deceased wife, Hiroto Akashi remained quite calm.
Unlike some prisoners who, once exposed, tried to rebel.
Instead, he sat quietly at the table.
Unlike some other prisoners, they did not deny everything without concrete evidence.
Instead, after a moment of silence, he nodded and admitted what he had done.
Later, he cooperated well and offered to go back with Yamamura Misao.
This attitude meant that Uncle Mori never even considered the possibility that Hiroto Akashi might commit suicide.
I was just saying I was going back with Yamamura Misao, but after going to the kitchen and having a sip of beer, I suddenly had the thought of committing suicide.
It came so suddenly that it caught everyone off guard and left no time to react.
There is a distance between the kitchen and the living room.
He has no superpowers and no magic.
It was simply impossible to subdue Akashi Hiroto in the kitchen and prevent him from turning his idea into reality, given the distance between them.
So, he could only shout at Akashi Hiroto:
"Mr. Kuanren, what are you doing?!"
"Calm down and let's talk this out!"
Upon hearing Uncle Mori's voice, Kōyū turned his head and glanced into the kitchen.
Then he saw Hiroto Akashi holding a knife, the blade pointing at himself, his face resolute, looking as if he was about to commit suicide.
As if he hadn't heard Uncle Mori's voice, Hiroto Akashi slowly raised his hand.
Seeing this, everyone present was at a loss, unsure how to persuade Akashi Hiroto to give up his suicidal thoughts.
Sonoko and Ran had even covered their eyes; they didn't want to see that kind of scene.
Conan, who thought the matter was over, quickly realized what was happening and started thinking about how to stop Akashi Hiroto.
He has a wristwatch-shaped tranquilizer gun and shoes that enhance his leg strength.
Both of these can stop Akashi Hiroto.
However, he often injures his hand, and his watch is in his pocket.
He had to take the watch out of his pocket, press a button, aim with the watch face sight, and finally fire the tranquilizer dart.
There are too many steps, and there isn't enough time.
The same applies to power-enhancing shoes; you have to find something to kick first, then adjust the power of the shoes before you can kick it out.
Don't be too far away from him; you need something you can reach out and grab right now.
The teacup is too fragile; it would probably shatter if he kicked it.
The dorayaki was too light and didn't quite fit the bill.
There was nothing around him that met his requirements.
Moreover, adjusting body position to avoid kicking obstacles, placing things on the ground to adjust power, and kicking things away all take time.
There's simply not enough time!
"hateful!"
After cursing under his breath, Conan reached into his pocket, preparing to take out the wristwatch-shaped tranquilizer gun to try and stop Hiroto Akashi.
He knew there might not be enough time, but there was nothing he could do.
It's better to "do something but not succeed" than to "do nothing and watch everything happen."
This is his idea.
After shouting those words, Uncle Mori ran towards the kitchen, intending to forcibly stop them.
Just as the sharp blade was about to pierce his chest, Akashi Hiroto suddenly felt something strike his wrist.
Under the pain, Hiroto Akashi subconsciously loosened his grip.
Clang!
"Click~"
The former is the sound of a knife falling to the ground.
The latter is the sound of a teacup breaking when it falls to the ground.
Seeing this, Uncle Mori seized the opportunity, jogged over to Hiroto Akashi, and kicked the knife on the ground and the broken teacups around him further away.
This was to prevent Akashi Hiroto from picking up the knife and shards from the ground and doing something else.
Then, Uncle Mori put one hand on Hiroto Akashi's shoulder.
If Akashi Hiroto makes any aggressive moves, he can subdue Akashi Hiroto with his signature back throw.
Upon hearing those two voices, Sonoko and Ran both lowered their hands and opened their eyes.
Then, the two saw Akashi Hiroto being subdued by Uncle Mori.
“Mr. Hiroto…” Uncle Mori said in a deep voice.
"I'm sorry..." Hiroto Akashi felt the strength of the hand on his shoulder and knew that he couldn't resist at all, but he had no intention of resisting anyway.
From beginning to end, he never had the thought of resisting or escaping.
Before entering the kitchen, he really intended to go straight back with Yamamura Misao.
But as he entered the kitchen, memories of the past overwhelmed him with a sense of guilt, and the thought of suicide surfaced in his mind.
The emotional breakdown happened just minutes ago, and he couldn't calm down completely within a few minutes.
The lingering negative emotions clouded his judgment, leading him to make a firm decision and drive him to pick up a knife, preparing to commit suicide.
