Chapter 2742 2754 [Lazy Hashimoto Maya]
Conan couldn't help but say, "But you just fell asleep while driving a car not long ago."
"..." Mrs. Yoshino said awkwardly, "Well, I'm a negative example! Little boy, don't learn bad things from me when you grow up. Fortunately, my car is insured, otherwise I would be in trouble this time - speaking of insurance, do you want one too? It can help you at the critical moment..."
Halfway through her words, Mrs. Yoshino came back to her senses when she looked at the young faces opposite her.
"I almost forgot, you are probably still students, so you don't need this kind of insurance."
She smiled sheepishly: "My husband works in an insurance company. I wanted to help him increase his sales, so I unconsciously developed the habit of selling insurance to everyone I met... But I'm not bragging, these insurances are really cost-effective - my husband just bought me a 100 million insurance policy a while ago."
"One hundred million?" the high school students blurted out, "Did your husband invest?"
...For some reason, words like "insurance", "100 million", and "husband" put together give people a bad feeling.
Mrs. Yoshino misunderstood the reason for their surprise, and she quickly explained: "Although it sounds expensive, the premium is actually not that high. And the money already paid will not be wasted - my husband said that after a certain number of years, we can apply for a refund of the premium, which is equivalent to a fixed deposit with no interest. This is a benefit only for insiders."
Several high school students: "..."
Akai Shuichi, who was eavesdropping on the bug, said: "..."
"It sounds like you trust your husband very much." Jiang Xia took a sip of tea. "By the way, when did you start to feel dizzy?"
Mrs. Yoshino didn't mind continuing the small talk even though she failed to sell the insurance. She thought about it carefully and said, "I don't remember exactly, but it probably started about a month ago."
"A month ago? That was when you just moved into this new house." Conan suddenly thought of a possibility, "Could it be 'Sick House Syndrome'?"
Suzuki Sonoko: “……?” What the hell is this?
"It's 'sick building syndrome'." Jiang Xia saw her confusion: "Some houses are not well ventilated, or there are too many toxic substances left over from the decoration, which will cause discomfort to the residents - but these symptoms usually disappear after leaving the building."
Mrs. Yoshino hesitated and said, "In that case, it shouldn't be because of this. As you can see, this room is well ventilated. As for the decoration, the decoration project was contracted by my husband's friend. My husband has always paid attention to his health, and he would not let anyone use inferior materials."
Conan frowned, thinking that the husband sounded suspicious. "You should ask a professional to come and check it out. You don't want to hit someone next time you drive, do you?"
“…”
This was not a nice thing to say, but Mrs. Yoshino couldn't help but feel scared when she recalled the experience of hitting Mr. Midoriya. If she had woken up a little slower, or if Mr. Midoriya, who was near the bridge, hadn't cushioned her, she might have rushed off the overpass and died in a car accident.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Yoshino picked up the phone: "Then I'll ask my husband..."
"Wait!" Conan interrupted her, "Don't blame your husband for everything, he..."
The fake elementary school student wanted to say something, but seeing Mrs. Yoshino always mentioning "husband", he was silent for a moment and had to change the subject:
"Since your husband has a friend in the decoration company, if you ask him to find someone to test indoor pollutants, he will probably go to that friend. What if he makes the wrong friends and that friend conceals the results of the investigation? Then won't you be cheated twice by the same friend?"
Mrs. Yoshino was stunned: Although what this elementary school student said was full of the darkness of society, it actually sounded reasonable!
"That's right." She accepted the child's advice, "But I don't know which decoration company can take this job..."
"I'll ask for you." Jiang Xia took out his cell phone and found Hashimoto Maya's number. "I happen to know a friend who is also busy with renovations recently. He should be able to get in touch with many teams."
"Really?" Mrs. Yoshino said in surprise, "Thank you very much."
…
It wasn't long before the construction team arrived.
...but the iced tea didn't come along.
Jiang Xia, who went out specially to greet him: "..."
He silently made a note of this very unconscious younger brother, then left the room with his classmates and gave the venue to the testing team.
Mrs. Yoshino, as the head of the household, had to stay in the house.
The high school students went to a nearby cafe.
Mao Lilan ordered a drink and took a sip with a worried look on her face: "I always feel like this matter is not that simple."
"I think so too!" Suzuki Sonoko lowered her voice furtively as she explained her reasoning, "What do you think? Could it be that when her husband was building the new house, he deliberately asked his friends to use a lot of inferior materials that would make people dizzy?
"He would go out for a walk every day, leaving Mrs. Yoshino alone at home to suffer from the pollution. As time went by, her health deteriorated and her dizziness became more severe.
"At the same time, Mr. Yoshino also specially introduced a job for his wife that requires driving to and from work. In this way, as long as Mrs. Yoshino gets dizzy and gets into a serious car accident, he can easily get the 100 million insurance money!"
Mao Lilan felt the same way, but she thought of something and hesitated, "Although he always wanders around during the day, Mr. Yoshino always goes back to his room to sleep at night. Isn't this a bit like killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own?"
Conan took a sip of juice and helped them fill in the gaps: "He can only use that material in places where Mrs. Yoshino often moves around, such as her workshop or kitchen."
After saying this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought: What does this case have to do with that 'Mr. Lushan'? Why did he specifically ask Jiang Xia to investigate this matter?
"Come to think of it, that guy was the victim of yesterday's car accident." Conan touched his chin and muttered to himself, "Could it be that he thought the car accident was man-made, so he wanted to use Jiang Xia to find out who was behind it?"
The enemy of my enemy may not be my friend, but Conan couldn't help but become curious about the "mastermind".
"Of course, it's also possible that there's no mastermind at all, and that Mr. Midoriya is simply suffering from paranoia and thinking too much." Conan thought rationally, "He's an outlaw who drives recklessly, and the chance of getting into a car accident is higher than others... I'd better find out why Mrs. Yoshino is dizzy, and then see if that guy will show up when Jiang Xia hands over the commission."
