He doesn't know that Sugou's keeping her prisoner. He doesn't know anything other than that someone took a screenshot from the top of the tree that looks like her. This whole thing is just him desperately following the only lead he has, but it's certainly not a very good lead. A pixelated picture that kinda looks like Asuna if she were an elf is hardly going to persuade her father to drop everything and demand a full inspection of the ALO server code (not to mention that Sugou would be in charge of such an inspection). And the idea of the police being able to do anything with that is completely laughable.

...are you failing to separate what Kirito knows from what the audience knows?

W/out any decisive evidence I doubt Kirito would be able to convince anybody about Sugous guilt. He has both a financial and social advantage. Not to mention Sugou has already earned the favor of Asunas family. Most likely he'll just be treated as the kid who has a crush on their daughter and is desperately making up lies to stop her from getting married.
It's not even "my word against his" because Kirito doesn't even know that Sugou is his enemy. All he knows is that he's a jerk imposing a stupid time limit for his own selfish reasons. Kirito knows nothing about Sugou's illegal activities.
