The world of science is unscientific

Chapter 79 is another small case.

The next morning, Yusuke Suzuki took Asuka out for a morning exercise.

Bourbon came again, this time to discuss his identity within the Japanese Public Security Bureau, but the two did not reach any conclusion.

Being too high-profile will arouse suspicion from the organization; being too low-profile will arouse suspicion from the police.

The fewer people who know about your undercover identity, the less likely it is to be exposed.

This matter needs to be considered carefully. It would be best to find an opportunity to legitimately interact with the Japanese Public Security Bureau to ensure a smooth process.

In the afternoon, Yusuke Suzuki got into a Porsche 356A and headed to Nishitama City.

When Itakura Taku saw Gin again, he was completely distraught. Fortunately, Gin didn't intend to do anything to him, but only threatened him that if he couldn't give the organization what it wanted within a month, he would have no choice but to die.

On his return, Yusuke Suzuki estimated that the twin-tower skyscrapers would be completed in about a month.

Is it such a coincidence?

Should we remind Sonoko Suzuki not to change her hairstyle?

However, after thinking about it, Yusuke Suzuki gave up. With such a chaotic timeline, he really couldn't figure out when the movie's plot would begin, and Sonoko Suzuki herself wouldn't get hurt, so he might as well just let it go.

After leaving Base 2, Suzuki Yusuke returned to his apartment and used the 20 reward points he had just received to upgrade his movement system to level 2 and his circulatory and respiratory systems once each.

Having been strengthened, he felt a significant change in his body, making his movements much easier, as if his body had been like a rusty machine before.

Meanwhile, Ran Mouri and her family were having dinner.

"Dad, don't you think it's a bit strange?" Ran Mouri asked with some concern. "Think about it, Chie's husband clearly knew she would get dizzy, so why didn't he remind her that the area was uneven? If she tripped and fell, wouldn't that be terrible?"

"It's just a tiny bit protruding, I wouldn't care either," Kogoro Mouri said nonchalantly.

“But Sonoko specifically came to remind me,” Ran Mouri immediately retorted. “Anyway, I’ve decided to go to Chie-san’s house tomorrow.”

What are you doing in someone's house?

"I'll go and find out why she often feels dizzy and has headaches."

“I think we should forget about it,” Kogoro Mouri teased. “What clues could an amateur like you possibly see?”

Even though I'm not an expert, I can still understand a little bit.

"If you want to go so much, then go ahead."

"Okay, I'm going."

Conan, who had been listening quietly, seemed to sense a call and spoke up, "Ran-neechan, can I go with you?"

"Conan, you want to come with me too?" Ran Mouri looked at Conan happily. "Then I'll ask Sonoko to come with me tomorrow."

"Go ahead and embarrass yourself," Kogoro Mouri scoffed. "I think you should bring Yusuke along too. With my eldest disciple around, I can feel a little more at ease."

“Oh right,” Ran Mouri suddenly realized, “I just don’t know if Yusuke-nii has time.”

"We'll just call and ask later. I don't think he goes to the company often, so he should agree," Conan chimed in, mentioning that he hadn't seen his friend for several days.

Kogoro Mouri propped his chin on one hand, picked up his wine glass, and said, "Now I'm going to have a good drink."

"Let's just drink ourselves to death."

Sweet surprise from my daughter +1.

"She's not cute at all..."

The following day, Yusuke Suzuki drove his younger sister and Ran Mouri to Chie's house, along with Conan, that brat.

On the way, Ran told him what had happened.

Basically, yesterday, Ms. Chie suddenly felt dizzy while driving and almost hit Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki. Later, Ms. Chie took them to a hotel to apologize and wait for her husband to arrive.

Then Ran Mouri realized that Chie's husband didn't love her as much as he seemed to.

Chie Yoshino works as a lecturer at a floral design school and drives to Shizuoka five days a week, while her husband, Akio Yoshino, works at an insurance company.

Upon entering Yoshinoya, Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki were immediately amazed.

The yard is planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, which is visually striking and very beautiful.

"Your house is so beautiful!" Ran Mouri turned to Chie Yoshino and couldn't help but praise her.

Chie Yoshino, who was preparing drinks, smiled and said, "Thank you. Actually, this house was only built about two weeks ago."

"That's a real new home! I'm so envious that you can live in a new house."

“However, we have a loan of 40 million yen to pay, which is quite a burden,” Yoshino Chie said helplessly. “If we don’t work together as a couple, it might not be so easy to pay this amount.”

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Yusuke immediately identified the suspect as Yoshino Chie's husband. He remembered that Yoshino Akio sold insurance, and insurance payouts were a large sum of money.

So, Ms. Chie's headaches must have been caused by her husband. Was it some kind of slow-acting poison? Did he want Ms. Chie to get dizzy while driving and then die in a car accident so he could collect the insurance money?

"I'm so sorry," Ran Mouri said apologetically, "You finally get a vacation, and we're just bothering you like this."

"Don't say that, it's just a pity that my husband went out early this morning and isn't home."

“Your husband was so gentle with you last time,” Sonoko Suzuki remarked.

Yoshino Chie nodded with a happy expression.

Yusuke Suzuki was stunned. How could Akio Yoshino be so heartless towards such a beautiful and virtuous wife? He's a complete scumbag.

After sitting for a while, Yoshino Chie introduced her husband, "His biggest interest is playing with cars, but now he doesn't have many opportunities to drive, which makes him often complain."

"That's why he's been going out for walks every day lately to relieve his stress. My job is to take advantage of this time to quickly prepare breakfast."

After hesitating for a moment, Ran Mouri decided to ask anyway, "Chie-nee, this might sound a little strange, but why did you travel all the way to Shizuoka to work?"

"It's entirely because of loan payments. Actually, I used to teach at a flower arrangement school in the city, but my husband's friend introduced me to a school in Shizuoka, where the salary is much higher."

The group was still chatting, but Suzuki Yusuke had already started thinking about how to find clues and evidence. This matter needed to be resolved quickly. Unfortunately, he didn't remember many details of the case.

"By the way, do you two have insurance?" At this point, Yoshino Chie couldn't help but laugh. "You're both still in high school, right?"

"I'm so sorry, but my husband works at an insurance company, so I've gotten used to trying to sell insurance to people."

“Behind every successful man is a good woman,” Yusuke Suzuki said. “I can buy an insurance policy, and I’ll talk to your husband when he gets back.”

"Really? Thank you so much." Yoshino Chie stood up and bowed to him.

this......

Such a wonderful wife, I will protect her!

Chapter 80 Case solved, protection successful

After a while, Yoshino Chie said solemnly, "Mr. Suzuki, it's not very convincing for me to just advise you to take out insurance. For example, I just recently took out a 100 million yen insurance policy."

"An insurance policy worth one hundred million yuan?"

Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri were both shocked.

“My husband asked me to do it. Anyway, paying the insurance premium isn’t a waste. After the insurance has been in effect for a certain number of years, I can cancel the contract with the company and get the premium back. It’s not bad to help my husband with his sales performance.”

Upon hearing these words, both Conan and Ran realized something was amiss.

Sonoko Suzuki, however, continued to watch the drama unfold, saying, "Chie-nee, aren't you getting a little too proud?"

"You found me."

"Auntie, when did you start experiencing frequent dizziness or severe headaches?"

Upon hearing Conan's words, Yoshino Chie recalled, "It probably started about a month ago, right?"

Wasn't that just half a month before the house was completed?

"Could it be because of the building materials?" Conan wondered. It's normal for the materials and paint used to build a house to cause discomfort, but it shouldn't last that long.

“I don’t think so,” Chie Yoshino explained. “Because the construction company that built this house for us is one that my husband knows. He would definitely have specifically instructed that company not to use any materials that would make him feel unwell.”

"I think it would be better to have someone check it out." Ran Mouri still didn't want to believe her suspicions.

After asking Sonoko Suzuki to find a suitable company to conduct the testing, the group said goodbye and left, without ever seeing Akio Yoshino again.

In the car.

"Xiaolan, I think you're acting a little strange today. Why are you so insistent on having someone come for testing?"

Sonoko Suzuki asked curiously.

"Xiaolan is probably worried that Ms. Chie's husband might have devised a plan to kill Ms. Chie in order to collect a huge insurance payout."

"Huh? Yusuke-nii, you think so too?"

Ran Mouri looked at Yusuke Suzuki with some surprise and quickly asked, "Do you think this speculation is highly likely?"

"It's very high, but at this point it can only be speculation."

Seeing that Sonoko Suzuki still looked confused, Ran Mouri simply explained to her best friend.

"If Mr. Akio deliberately used materials containing many air pollutants to build his new house, it would cause Chie's health to deteriorate slowly."

Moreover, at the same time, he also advised Chie to transfer to work in Shizuoka, where she would be driving on the highway every day. What if she happened to feel dizzy on the way...?

Seeing that Sonoko Suzuki's expression was getting more and more serious, Yusuke Suzuki decided to add insult to injury, "And this also explains why Akio Yoshino often goes out for a walk early in the morning, including today. He may not be back yet. He just doesn't want his health to be affected."

"So, if a lot of hazardous materials are detected tomorrow, does that mean...?"

“No, Akio Yoshino can still shift the blame. To directly implicate him, we need more direct evidence.”

Yusuke Suzuki interrupted Sonoko and parked the car in front of the Mouri Detective Agency.

The group returned the next day, but the inspectors indicated that there was nothing wrong with the house.

Yusuke Suzuki then realized that if there really was a problem with the house, he should have smelled the bad odor yesterday. He had been led astray by Ran Mouri.

Since it's not a problem with the house, and they still want Yoshino Chie to have a car accident on the road, the only option is to tamper with the car.

After saying goodbye and leaving again, Yusuke Suzuki called Ran Mouri back and shared his thoughts.

Tomorrow is Monday, and Yoshino Chie has to go to work. If she wants to tamper with the car, she can only do it tonight or tomorrow morning.

Considering the volatility of the slow-acting poison, it is almost certain that Akio Yoshino will take action tomorrow morning, and at the very least, he will be able to stop Ms. Chie on her way to work.

Time flew by, and early the next morning, Yusuke Suzuki arrived with Ran Mouri and Conan.
