Chapter 24 Stay Away from Akikawa
"That's all I have to say about insurance and inheritance. Mr. Akikawa, do you have any other questions?"

Midori Kuriyama placed her hands on the hem of her suit uniform and asked Akikawa Sorasuke.

"Mom should be the main person responsible for this serial car accident, right? May I ask how the compensation is calculated?"

"Don't worry about that. Although this chain collision was caused by your mother's sudden braking, according to Japanese law, Mr. Akikawa only needs to compensate for part of the damage to the car behind him."

"As for other vehicles that were rear-ended, the vehicles behind them will be responsible for compensation."

"Besides, Ms. Ryoko has self-liability insurance, which will also cover part of the compensation."

As Kuriyama Midori spoke, she suddenly stood up slightly and secretly glanced at Kisaki Eri in the middle of the living room.

After confirming that Kisaki Eri was still writing something with her head down and didn't seem to notice him,

Then he leaned forward slightly, put his hand to cover his cheek, and whispered to Akikawa Sosuke in a low voice:

"In fact, the person primarily responsible for this car accident is Ms. Ryoko, not Mr. Akikawa. I wonder if you can understand this, Mr. Akikawa?"

Akikawa Sosuke looked at Kuriyama Midori in surprise when he heard this.
Then the lawyer lady in front of me, who suddenly became sneaky, continued:
"The car accident compensation is Ms. Ryoko's debt. It has nothing to do with Mr. Akikawa."

"According to my judgment, Ms. Ryoko has no property and her savings are probably not that much. Her inheritance is definitely not enough to cover the compensation for this car accident."

"So as long as Mr. Akikawa gives up inheriting Ms. Ryoko's estate, the debt from this car accident can be written off."

"This way, you can maximize your own interests."

After saying this, Kuriyama Midori looked up at Kisaki Eri with some concern.

Then he coughed twice awkwardly and returned to his normal sitting position.

"Well, anyway, this is the situation. What you want to do is up to Mr. Akikawa to decide. I am just doing the job as requested."

Kuriyama Midori had a faint and beautiful smile on her face and spoke to Akikawa Sorasuke.

*bite*
The familiar crisp mechanical sound rang again in Akikawa Sosuke's mind at this time, and a deep blue translucent interface appeared before his eyes.

[What choice would you make when faced with compensation that clearly exceeds your mother's estate? ]

【1. Inherit the estate and pay compensation】

[Reward: Recovery Card x1]

【2. Give up inheritance and maximize benefits】

[Reward: Constitution +3]

Akikawa Sosuke did not hesitate much about the option that appeared in his mind again.

According to lawyer Midori Kuriyama, the compensation she needs to pay this time is only part of the cost of rear-ending the car behind her.

After deducting the insurance compensation, the remaining compensation will not be much.

For me who is about to receive a huge insurance money, it will not have any impact.

And the recovery card obtained from the option is exactly what he needs now.

So Akikawa Sosuke immediately responded:

"Thank you, Ms. Kuriyama. I have decided to inherit my mother's estate."

"Ok."

Kuriyama Midori nodded slightly.

At the same time, I thought in my heart:
"Mr. Akikawa is a kind person..."

Akikawa Sosuke thanked Kuriyama Midori and prepared to leave after taking Kuriyama Midori's business card.

Midori Kuriyama printed out the bus route map and the map from the nearest station back to Akigawa Sousuke's apartment, and put them together in a folder that she gave to Akigawa Sousuke.

She sent Akikawa Sosuke to the door, and only returned to the office after Akikawa Sosuke went downstairs and left.

However, as soon as she returned, she saw her teacher, Kisaki Eri, who was known as the "Queen of the Court", staring at her sharply.

"Eh?! Teacher, what's wrong?"

Kuriyama Midori was shocked, thinking that the advice she gave to Akikawa Sosuke was heard by her teacher.

What I heard was the serious voice of Eri Kisaki:
"Xiaolu, where did you receive this commission?"

After Kisaki Eri finished speaking, before Kuriyama Midori could answer, she began muttering to herself.

"He was just cleared of suspicion at the Metropolitan Police Department? That means he was once a suspect..." "Could it be that Kudo asked Xiaolan to contact you for help?"

"Eh--?!"

Kuriyama Midori was startled again.

My teacher is always like this, able to guess the truth of things easily.

When Kisaki Eri looked at Kuriyama Midori's reaction, she realized that she had guessed correctly.

"Since you have accepted the commission, you must complete it."

"But Xiaolu, there's no need for you to do those unnecessary things to please the customers. Just finish your work quickly and stay away from that Qiuchuan."

"That is why ah?"

Kuriyama Midori was a little confused.

After a brief contact, I clearly felt that Akikawa Sosuke was a pretty nice person.

"From your description, Qiuchuan's family has no house and no savings. His mother is still doing odd jobs, and his son doesn't seem to be able to work."

"Under these circumstances, how could anyone buy two life insurance policies for themselves with such high death benefits?"

"Uh...this..."

After hearing what Kisaki Eri said, Kuriyama Midori also realized that something was wrong.

"You should be aware that the death benefit amount of normal life insurance is usually set by the insurance company at ten times the annual pre-tax income."

"Even though Akikawa's liability insurance covered most of the compensation for the accident, she still didn't have the money to pay the rest. My rough estimate is that her mother's annual income is probably less than 250 million yen."

"But in this situation where life is difficult, her mother actually bought life insurance with a total death benefit of over 7500 million yen. What a joke!"

Kuriyama Midori heard what Fei Yingli said between the lines.

Ryoko Akikawa clearly lied about her annual income and purchased two insurance policies that were beyond her ability to pay.

Her face gradually became flustered.

"No... Mr. Akikawa has been cleared of suspicion, right? Or... It's possible that Ms. Ryoko did this to..."

"You mean to say that the mother committed suicide in order to get compensation for her son?"

Fei Yingli sighed.

"Your idea is good, but it's impossible, at least not for Qiuchuan."

"Little Green, have you forgotten? The insurance death claim rules in Japan."

When Kuriyama Midori heard this, she suddenly remembered and could no longer hide the surprise on her face.

"Insurance will not pay for suicide within three years!"

"Yes. You just said that the 4500 million yen life insurance was for an early-stage accident, so his mother definitely couldn't have bought it for herself with the intention of committing suicide."

"Either Qiu Chuan bought the insurance for his mother himself, or his mother knew she was going to be killed five or six years in advance."

"No matter which one it is, staying away from that Qiuchuan is your best choice."

"Okay...ok..."

As Kisaki Eri looked at Midori Kuriyama, whose face was filled with shock, the image of Shinichi Kudo appeared in her mind.

"It's not that I don't trust that kid's reasoning, but I still don't want to put the people around me in danger."

Kisaki Eri thought to herself.

"But teacher, let me say this."

"Ok?"

"Teacher, do you think that Qiuchuan looks kind?"

"You seem to be a little bit..."

After listening to Kuriyama Midori's sudden and incoherent words, Kisaki Eri fell into deep thought.
