Chapter 2739-2751 [Flower Art]
Across the table, Mrs. Yoshino didn't notice anything unusual.
She drank the coffee in the cup, feeling lucky that the unlucky guy she hit looked ferocious, but was actually very easy to talk to: "I thought you would be angry, but I didn't expect you to forgive me so generously - please rest assured, I will handle this accident properly and repair your car as soon as possible!"
Shuichi Akai didn't care about the car or not. He just wanted to get other clues from Mrs. Yoshino - compared to other stage props that either went in or out, the woman in front of him was so easy to approach... so easy that he almost suspected that this was another arrogant trap set by someone.
However, no matter how suspicious the clues in front of us are, they are still clues after all.
So after hesitating for a moment, Shuichi Akai, who was skilled and bold, came to this relatively high-end coffee shop nearby at the invitation of Mrs. Yoshino after the car was towed away.
——He wanted to see what information this woman would reveal.
…
No matter how cool he looks, Shuichi Akai is, after all, a man who has used the beauty tactic and achieved great results.
Mrs. Yoshino, who was sitting opposite her, went from feeling extremely nervous to feeling relaxed and at ease in less than 10 minutes. She continued the previous topic and chatted briskly:
"I love teaching flower arrangement and the students are lovely. The only regret is that the school is too far from my home. I have to drive to Saitama Prefecture five days a week."
At this point, Mrs. Yoshino sighed and apologized, "Just now on the road, I suddenly felt dizzy and dozed off without realizing it. When I came to my senses, I had already crashed into your car... But don't worry! My husband works at the insurance company, and with him around, he will definitely be able to handle the subsequent claims."
Akai Shuichi couldn't see any signs of lying from her, so he asked, "Why did you suddenly feel dizzy?"
"Huh?" Mrs. Yoshino thought the gentleman's focus was a little strange - she thought he would be more concerned about when his car could be repaired, but this car accident victim was so enthusiastic and seemed to be more concerned about her body than the car.
She was touched and said, "I don't know either. I have had this symptom every now and then recently. I went to the hospital for a check-up, but the doctor said there was nothing wrong with my body.
"Then I thought about it and realized it might be because I was too tired recently. It might also be related to the climate. The weather has been hot and cold recently. Whenever school is on holiday or the weather is cool, I won't feel dizzy."
As Shuichi Akai was listening, his peripheral vision suddenly moved and he looked towards the restaurant entrance.
——A man in a suit and tie with an anxious look walked in, looking around for something. Soon, his eyes stopped in this direction.
"Chie!" the man greeted Mrs. Yoshino.
Mrs. Yoshino turned around, her eyes lit up, she stood up and introduced to Akai Shuichi: "This is my husband I just mentioned - Yoshino Akio."
Yoshino Akio glanced at Akai Shuichi with a slight sense of caution.
Mrs. Yoshino quickly said to him, "This is the owner of the other car, Mr. Midoriya. I got dizzy while driving just now and accidentally hit him."
"Are you dizzy again?" Yoshino Akio sighed and asked Akai Shuichi, "Are you okay?"
Akai Shuichi looked at the two of them and waved his hand.
Yoshino Akio was relieved. He handed the victim a business card and said, "If you have any follow-up questions, please contact me. I will take her back first."
Mrs. Yoshino bent down to get her bag. Suddenly she remembered something and said to Akai Shuichi: "Where is your home? Your car is still under repair. Let my husband take you home."
Of course Akai Shuichi didn't tell the truth, he just said in general terms: "In Beika Town."
"Then we are very close!" Mrs. Yoshino said in surprise, "My house is in the next door, Haido Town."
She was busy talking and her pace slowed down, so only Yoshino Akio was walking in front.
As he was walking, Yoshino Akio tripped over a hidden step under his feet, staggered a few steps, and almost fell.
After standing firmly with difficulty, he frowned and glanced at the step, shook his head helplessly, and continued to walk to the counter to pay the bill for his wife.
A few seconds later, Mrs. Yoshino, who was passing by, also tripped on the hidden steps.
"Ah!" She was helped by Akai Shuichi to avoid falling, and she stood firm in shock. "Thank you very much."
Akai Shuichi loosened his grip and looked between her and her husband: "It's okay."
…
Half an hour later.
Shuichi Akai got out of the car in front of an unfamiliar apartment building and pretended to have arrived home. He walked towards the apartment lobby, waved his hand, and watched Mr. Yoshino's car go away.
After half a minute, he turned around and walked out again.
Soon, another car braked in front of him. James sat in the driver's seat and looked at the direction the couple left from afar: "Is this the person who hit you? There doesn't seem to be anything special about him. I'm afraid they are just two innocent citizens who were used as guns?"
Akai Shuichi opened the car door and got in, then asked directly, "You were in that coffee shop just now, did you notice anything?"
"This..." James remembered a scene that impressed him deeply, and he couldn't help laughing:
"They actually tripped in the same place. They are truly a couple. But then again, the decoration of that store is also problematic - the color of the steps is too consistent, and there is no clear distinction between the edges. It's easy to trip if you're not careful. It's a miracle that the store has been open for so long without any complaints."
Akai Hide nodded. Although he didn't fully grasp the point, the old boss did find something suspicious: "The husband acted very considerate, but after he tripped, he knew that his wife would take the same route, but he never thought of turning back to remind her - what do you think this shows?"
James was stunned for a moment, then slowly understood: "You mean, they are not as loving as imagined, and the husband doesn't care about his wife?"
Akai Shuichi responded: "This is probably the direct reason why Mrs. Yoshino bumped into me."
James understood: "If Uzo was the one who planned your interception, then the one who was really connected to the puppet string was actually her husband, not Mrs. Yoshino..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly stopped.
This feeling of unravelling the truth bit by bit, but actually being led by the nose by certain people... why does it seem so familiar?
Speaking of this, there is one more thing.
Thinking of what happened to him today, James lowered his voice and his expression became serious: "Do you think it's possible... there's a traitor among us?"
