Chapter 319: Rice Flower City with Outstanding People and Beautiful Scenery

"You are talking about the cold attitude, right?"

"After all, they are a loving couple, so they would have reminded her normally."

Fujiano opened the can: "Not only did he not remind her, but he even looked back. There is something fishy going on."

Ran agreed with Fujino's analysis: "I think so, too, so it feels a bit strange. Sonoko doesn't believe it..."

Sonoko was stunned when she heard this: "Is it true?"

"I saw it too!"

Conan said in a childish tone, with a hint of teasing: "Sonoko, you and Chie were chatting so passionately that you didn't notice it at all."

"Hahaha... After all, we were chatting very speculatively."

Sonoko scratched her head awkwardly and glanced at Conan with dead fish eyes.

I feel that I am getting more and more annoyed with this brat, just like that stinky detective...

But after thinking about it, she said with a serious look of doubt: "But why would he be like that... Let's say, after all, they look like a loving couple."

"Even if they are a loving couple, we can't be sure what they are like behind the scenes."

Conan recalled the last time a car exploded in front of him and wanted to swap wives, and said in a deep voice.

But there was no response for a long time, and Conan also felt that something was wrong.

Looking up, he saw three people with six eyes looking at him curiously, as if looking at a wild animal.

Conan: "..."

Damn, the vest was exposed again!

Obviously, the words just now were not what he, who usually pretended to be a second-rate elementary school student, should say.

After noticing this, Conan quickly returned to his usual self and gave an example to excuse his unreasonable behavior: "Uncle Maori usually says the same thing, and the last case was also like this."

"Dad..."

Xiaolan narrowed her eyes and twitched slightly when she heard this.

She obviously believed Conan's explanation naively.

It must be that dad, the big drunkard, said something bad about mom after getting drunk, and Conan rapped it out like a parrot.

"Haha..."

Fujino looked at Xiaolan who was about to get angry, and couldn't help but sweat for Uncle Maori.

Uncle Maori, danger!

I hope Uncle Maori can survive tonight.

Xiaolanyu's memory will probably be forgotten in less than two days.

Well, when she remembers it, she will be beaten again.

"But, it's not that bad, right?"

Yuno was a little helpless. What's wrong with the people around her?

Why are they all moving in the direction of that stupid detective?

This makes it difficult for the timid Miss Sonoko to keep up with the pace, okay?

"I think what Conan said makes sense."

At this time, Xiaolan also made a decision, calmed down, and said: "In this case, let's go to Miss Chie's house together tomorrow!"

Conan looked at Xiaolan who was going to take the initiative and felt a little strange.

At the same time, he also felt that this matter was a little complicated.

It happened that he could go there tomorrow to see what was going on with Yoshinoya.

Fujino also agreed to Xiaolan's decision.

He felt that this matter was also a little fishy.

...

That night.

"Dad, did you say something strange to Conan after drinking again?!"

"What?! Which time was it..."

"The doctor clearly told you to drink less, but you still drank so much!"

"Lan! Lan! Listen to my explanation...ah!"

Fujino leaned on the balcony of the bedroom, listening to the shouts from the opposite Mori family echoing in the neighborhood, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

The Mori family is full of martial virtues...

This has been going on for a long time.

It's just Brother Mori. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been hospitalized by Xiaolan.

"Conan, this kid, has done a lot of harm to people."

Fujino sighed in his heart, and took advantage of the night to look at his system character interface, thinking about what happened to Chie Yoshino during the day.

[Detective Career Task: Design of Murder

Task Objective: Find out the means of killing Chie Yoshino and the murderer who premeditated the murder of Chie Yoshino.

Task Reward: One million yen, fifty points of detective reputation]

Just after returning from the swimming pool, he triggered a system task.

From the prompts given by the system task, Fujino felt that Chie Yoshino's coma must not be as simple as it seems.

His goal this time is to find out the means of killing Chie Yoshino and the premeditated murderer.

The temporary focus of suspicion is that Akio Yoshino.

After all, based on the suspicious behavior during the day, Fujino thinks he is the biggest suspect.

It's just that you can't say anything without evidence.

The principle of parody is not nonsense, and adaptation is not random writing.

This matter cannot be concluded too early...

Some things should wait until tomorrow to collect more information.

...

The next day was still a day off.

Early in the morning, after making a phone call and confirming that the other party was at home, Fujino drove Xiaolan Yuanzi and the Grim Reaper to Yoshinoya.

Yoshinoya is located in a prosperous chome in Haido Town, which is in the Tokyo circle and not too far from Mika.

"Lan-san!"

Chie Yoshino, who had received the news in advance, was waiting at the door. Wearing a purple short-sleeved top and a pink apron-style long skirt, she greeted several people.

"Miss Chie."

Xiaolan chuckled and responded euphemistically: "I'm really sorry. It's my day off to bother you. I really caused trouble for you."

"Where can there be trouble? It's me who causes trouble for you. After all, I almost bumped into you yesterday."

Yoshino Chie also smiled and waved her hands, vaguely revealing the temperament of a married woman: "By the way, you must be thirsty and tired after coming from a long distance. Come in first, I will prepare some juice..."

Yoshinoya's land covers a very large area. In addition to the two-story Western-style building cut in half, there is also a garden on the side. The garden is filled with various flowers and trees, giving it a warm botanical garden feel.

"really beautiful!"

Yuanzi and Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Qianhui, your home is really nicely decorated."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Chie Yoshino was making juice in the open kitchen in the living room, "To be honest, this house was actually built a month and a half ago, and the decoration style is the latest, so the layout is really good."

"So this is ah……"

Xiaolan looked at the brand-new furniture around her, walked slowly back to the sofa and sat down: "No wonder these furniture look so new to me."

"In other words, this is a veritable new residence."

Yuanzi followed behind and looked around: "It's really nice, a new house and so on..."

"But although the house is beautiful, there is still a loan of 40 million to be repaid."

Chie Yoshino took the sofa out of the kitchen, "The pressure can be said to be quite high."

“Does this house cost 40 million?”

Fujino also looked around after hearing this.

Is your house made of gold or silver?

It is estimated that with his financial strength, he can only build five or six buildings at most.

What's more, he still doesn't know whether the 40 million is the full value or part of the loan.

It always felt like it was much more expensive than his small building.

Come to think of it, it is a loan after all, and a large part of it was taken away by the bank.

But since this is Tokyo, this is normal.

"Well, it is indeed a large amount of money."

Qian Hui said, placing the juice on the coffee table with a faint happy smile on her face: "But if the couple works together, these loans should be repaid in ten years."

"That's really hard work for you two."

Fujino nodded, understanding the social animal sign surrounding the mortgage.

The housing prices in the Tokyo area are just like going north. Every inch of land costs money. Although it is a bit expensive, it is not despair. Ordinary people can still build a home here by saving some money and working hard for more than ten or twenty years. .

However, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny. It is difficult for most people to have an annual income of five to six million.

No money, but time?

Then take a thirty-year loan.

Let's pay off the debt together when our son grows up...

It has to be said that the evil banks and real estate developers are overdrafting the future of young people.

After retracting his thoughts, Fujino put the brown paper bag on the side on the coffee table: "By the way, Miss Qianhui, this is the Chinese medicine prescription I mentioned yesterday. You should have asked me to buy one on the phone just now."

"Well, after all, I don't understand either, so I can only ask Fujino for help."

Qian Hui nodded slightly: "How much do these medicinal materials cost? I'll go get them..."

"Forget it, these medicines aren't expensive either."

Fujino waved his hand: "It's really troublesome to be a guest at your house today, so let's just treat it as a greeting gift."

"That's really troublesome for you, Mr. Fujino."

Chie Yoshino smiled: "Obviously this is our second meeting, but we actually helped prepare prescriptions and purchase medicinal materials."

"By the way, Miss Qianhui, I always feel a little curious."

Xiaolan suddenly asked at this time: "Why do you have to travel so far, go to Shizuoka in the morning and come back at night to work?"

"Actually, to be honest, it's all because of the loan."

Qianhui did not hide Xiaolan's curiosity: "To be honest, I used to teach at a flower art school in the city. Not long ago, I found one in Shizuoka through the introduction of my husband's friend. The main reason for the school is that the salary is much higher than before.”

Xiaolan hesitated and said: "Miss Qianhui, aren't you very tired? You have to drive so far every day."

Sonoko also nodded: "If you take the train, you can still sleep on the train."

"Actually, I quite like driving. It's not far from the highway from here, and I usually have to bring some teaching materials and luggage. It's more convenient to drive."

A gentle smile appeared on Chie Yoshino's lips: "And my husband is already working very hard to support the family. If I don't work harder, all the pressure will be piled on him, and I always have to share some of it with him. "

"By the way, by the way, do you have any insurance?"

But halfway through her words, she froze, then covered her mouth with an embarrassed smile, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, actually it's like this, because my husband is an employee of an insurance company... I usually do it to help him I will often help with sales when I get some sales, and I’ll get used to it by accident. ”

"So this is ah……"

Yuanzi smiled: "Miss Qianhui, you are really a good wife."

Fujino nodded in agreement.

He had seen people buying insurance in his previous life.

It's very annoying to sit in your house and not leave without buying insurance.

But such a measured and caring lady...

Having said that, it is indeed quite enviable.

"Hey, it's nothing."

Chie Yoshino obviously listened to Sonoko's praise, "But if I just say it but don't do it, I won't be very convincing. I just took out 100 million yen in accident insurance a while ago."

"One...one hundred million yen?!"

Xiaolan and Yuanzi were both shocked.

Conan also narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed something was wrong.

Fujino, on the other hand, was worried and felt like he could just hammer him down.

The suspect can basically be identified, so the method of committing the crime...

Vaguely, Fujino's thoughts suddenly flashed and he realized the truth of the matter.

Damn, that rice flower little beast, you want to kill your wife and cheat her insurance...

It can only be said that it is a rice flower market with outstanding people.

In the past, there was a pervert who swapped his wife, killed her, and defrauded her of her insurance. Now there is a Breaking Bad guy who killed his wife and defrauded her of her insurance.

Isn’t it good to have an honest, virtuous, and beautiful wife?

I have to send some work in for myself...

Fujino could not help but complain.

"Actually, my husband asked me to do this. Anyway, I didn't waste much money by paying the insurance. When the expiration date is reached, the insurance company will refund the money."

Qianhui didn't pay too much attention to the surprise of several people, and just explained: "After all, the salesman is my husband. If I can help him do some business, it will naturally be a business that will make a profit without losing any money."

"Um!"

Sonoko nodded: "She looks like a model wife like Yamato Nadeshiko."

"hey-hey."

Chie Yoshino smiled: "I was discovered by you."

"Speak of Sister Qianhui!"

Conan suddenly asked childishly: "When did your headache symptoms begin?"

"It probably started a month ago..."

Chie Yoshino put her chin on her head and thought for a moment: "At that time, I had just switched jobs to a school in Shizuoka, so I remember it very clearly."

"A month ago?"

Conan thought for a moment after hearing this.

If it started a month ago, it would be half a month after the house was built.

Thinking of this, he guessed: "Could it be the so-called sick house syndrome?"

Xiaolan thought for a moment after hearing this: "It turns out to be sick house syndrome..."

"what is that?"

Yuanzi seemed a little dazed, and he put his chin on his head and thought: "The four sufferings and the eight sufferings, are they some kind of secret code?"

"I mean sick house syndrome!"

Conan glanced at Yuanzi speechlessly, "It's a symptom of physical discomfort caused when building a house. Sister Yuanzi, haven't you heard of it?"

Fujino silently added: "Actually, it's formaldehyde that exceeds the standard."

"It turns out that formaldehyde exceeded the standard... This kind of thing... Well, I have heard more or less about it."

Yuanzi was speechless for a moment and looked at Conan: "You guys just say formaldehyde exceeds the standard. What are you doing with those foreign texts?"

"But I guess that's not the case."

Regarding everyone's speculation, Qianhui listened silently and explained: "The construction company that helped us build this house was a construction company that my husband knew. At that time, he also specifically told us not to use any materials that would cause physical discomfort."

"But this doesn't mean..."

Xiaolan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Fujino: "I also think it's not about formaldehyde. If it's formaldehyde poisoning, it should be checked out at the hospital. Even if it's excessive intolerance, it stands to reason Miss Qianhui should not be alone in showing symptoms.”
