Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

If it was an ordinary member of the organization, Vermouth wouldn't care at all.

However, the only one was Cointreau - after investigating him, Vermouth discovered that he was actually involved with Maori Ran.

That girl, as bright and gentle as an angel, was a unique light in the world for Vermouth, and she had once warmed her... That purity and innocence were like the dew and sunshine that fell on the barren land of her heart, making her cherish it immensely and wanting to guard her involuntarily.

But there was a dangerous member of the organization so close to her——

Vermouth, with many thoughts and shadows flashing through her mind, had a smile on her face. She looked at Lin Jiashu's face with admiration and said jokingly, "I have a question. Does Gin know about our date?"

"He knows."

"That guy, didn't he ever ask you to stand me up?"

"I did say that, but the trouble is, I can't deceive a woman."

A gentle and bright smile appeared on Lin Jiashu's face.

"What a gentleman..."

Although she said so, Vermouth felt more and more that it was too dangerous for Xiaolan to have this man by her side.

Because she always needs to disguise herself as someone else to carry out covert operations, Vermouth is good at observation and can also know countless people - the man next to her is very good at disguising himself, and the fragrance of his words is mixed with aphrodisiacs for women, and what he says should never be easily believed.

Do we really have to get rid of him?

"Where are we going?"

"For a date at this time, the first choice would definitely be a restaurant."

Lin Jiashu looked at the road in front of the car, and took the time to look at Vermouth again, "Is there any cuisine you want to try?"

"Yes, it's a rare trip back to Japan, and I'm craving the local food right now."

"Then let's go eat puffer fish hot pot."

"...Pufferfish, that doesn't sound good."

"I think so too, so the answer is actually another restaurant nearby." Lin Jiashu said with a smile.

It's a pity that Rum probably doesn't work at Iroha Sushi Restaurant yet, otherwise it would be interesting to go there and try the sushi made by the second-in-command of the brewery.

The two finally sat down in a Japanese restaurant.

Instead of sitting at the bar, we chose a private room suitable for conversation.

"Then let me tell you why I want to meet you."

After the waiter finished serving the dishes, Vermouth looked at Lin Jiashu, who was sitting across from her, with a sweet smile: "Rum, the second-in-command of the organization, is very interested in you. He hopes you can work in the organization's intelligence team."

"He's the second in command?" Lin Jiashu showed a surprised expression.

"It seems Gin didn't tell you."

"He only said that person was the head of the intelligence team. I didn't expect that he had such an identity."

"As expected, Gin thinks highly of you."

Vermouth smiled as her brightly painted nails gently swirled the small glass of clear sake. "What do you think? This is a gracious invitation from the second-in-command of the organization. Compared to working under Gin, it's probably a 'promotion'."

"But I have a question. Given the organization's style, it seems inappropriate to use something as gentle as an 'invitation'. Shouldn't they be forcefully ordering me to work there?"

"..."

"Or is there some conflict between Mr. Rum, the second-in-command, and Gin?"

“…That’s not something I know about.”

So sharp.

Vermouth responded in silence.

"So what do you think? Are you planning to turn down this invitation?"

"Ah, after all, I'm quite satisfied with my current job here."

"it's a pity."

She said this without any emotion.

But Lin Jiashu doesn't care at all how he chooses Vermouth.

Her main concern now was that it was too dangerous to let a man like Jundu appear in Mao Lilan's life. She needed to further confirm whether he would bring danger or a bad influence to Mao Lilan. If that was the case -

"In some ways, we might have something in common."

"Are you talking about your identity?"

"Yes, so as a senior, let me give you a piece of advice - be sure to keep your tail well hidden. Otherwise, if you reveal your true identity somewhere, the people around you might also encounter unpleasant things."

Her tone was nonchalant and teasing, and she stared at Lin Jiashu with a smile, her eyes half closed. "Your aunt, the queen of the legal world, Eri Kisaki... and her family—haha, of course, it's also possible that you don't care about these people's lives at all."

Lin Jiashu's eyes widened slightly.

He looked at Vermouth's face, although the smiling expression did not change.

However, the feeling it gives people has completely changed.

On that delicate and innocent face, his black eyes clearly reflected Vermouth's face, and there was no emotion in his eyes at all.

"It's really a headache."

he said.

His eyes quietly captured Vermouth's face.

"Can I understand this as a threat because I rejected your invitation?"

205

Chapter 205: Can I teach that woman a lesson?

The date with the woman ended in a bad mood.

However, when Lin Jiashu returned to the car, he was smiling.

I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

He had known for a long time that Vermouth would be a trouble.

She cherishes Xiaolan so much that she would be more or less stressed if she found out that a member of her organization appeared near the white moonlight in her heart.

Unless Lin Jiashu can unite with her and stand on the side of protecting Xiaolan - just like the agreement between Bourbon and her, Bourbon will keep Vermouth's secret and cannot harm Conan and Xiaolan in exchange for her help.

However, Lin Jiashu "doesn't know" that Xiaolan is extremely important to Vermouth, so from now on, he just needs to show that he attaches great importance to Xiaolan and the others -

Lin Jiashu took out his cell phone and called Gin.

"What's up?"

"I met with Vermouth, and she did mention that Rum wanted to invite me."

"Then?"

"I refused."

"Oh……"

Gin's tone seemed to be a little happier, but his voice was still as cold as ever: "If there is anything else, tell me."

"Can I teach that woman a lesson?"

"why?"

"Something unpleasant happened. Don't worry... I won't kill her."

"Can."

Gin also became interested after hearing this.

He had actually been fed up with that troublesome woman, Vermouth, for a long time, and it seemed interesting to teach her a lesson... Besides, this was a rare request from Cointreau, who had rejected Rum's invitation.

You have to know that in the original work, Gin planned to blow up the entire train in order to get rid of Sherry, and he didn't care at all that there were two cadres, Vermouth and Bourbon, on the train - if they died, it would be considered that they were incompetent and unlucky.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Just help me find out or keep an eye on her movements."

It was really his idea to let the action team keep an eye on someone from the intelligence team.

But Gin didn't refuse. He just said okay and hung up the phone.

It went so smoothly...

Lin Jiashu originally thought that if Gin refused, he would have to deal with some trouble.

----

Before Gin's information was delivered, Lin Jiashu's office received a strange invitation letter.

"Found this in my inbox this morning."

"There was no stamp or sender, and along with this invitation came this check for two million."

Toru Amuro placed a black envelope on the table. On the surface of the envelope were written the words "Kiji Hayashi Yoshiki" in white fonts - this is the black and white color scheme used in Japanese funerals.

Lin Jiashu had a vague impression.

He opened the letter.

"I admire your wisdom and am writing to invite you to dinner and drinks at your home."

"The Phantom of God's Forsaken Son"

"——Twilight Annex"

After reading the contents of the black letter, especially when he noticed the signature "Twilight Villa", Lin Jiashu immediately had an impression.

Dusk Annex - a building that once belonged to the brewery boss Karasuma Renya.

What is amazing is that the entire building is made of gold, and its value is inestimable.

"Just inviting me to dinner and then directly handing me a check for two million... this is a bit too suspicious." Amuro Toru said, pinching his chin.

"Maybe there will be some strange requests once we get there."

"Is the boss going? This letter doesn't look very auspicious."

"Go."

In fact, before the subsequent plot unfolded, the incident of Twilight Villa has always been a deeply hidden main line in Conan, especially related to Karasuma Renya. There may be some secrets hidden in it that have not been revealed.

"That's right. After all, the check for two million has already been delivered, and there's no way to send it back without the stamp and the sender."

At this point, Amuro Toru turned his attention to the phrase on the invitation: "The Phantom of the Son God Forsaken." "This phrase comes from the New Testament and refers to 'unblessed goats,' or perhaps 'goat kids.'"

"Well, goat in English is 'goat', and the baby goat is called 'kid'."

The answer is already obvious.

"Is this invitation related to Kaito Kidd?"

"That's impossible. He's probably just setting up a puzzle in the name of Kaito Kidd, or maybe he's planning something else."

Lin Jiashu smiled when he said this and looked at Amuro Toru.

"Mr. Amuro, you don't have anything else to do in the next few days, right?"

"Yes, I'm very free."

"Then let's set off for this Twilight Villa tomorrow."

Toru Amuro was naturally happy about this.

For some reason, he always felt that this invitation letter gave him a sense of danger... If he went with Lin Jiashu, he might be able to protect him if something happened.

After all, he really wanted to recruit Lin Jiashu into the public security department.

"Then could you please pick me up tomorrow? Just use my car."

"Okay...but isn't Boss going to drive back tonight?"

"Well, I have an appointment later and someone will come pick me up."

"I see."

Lin Jiashu stayed in the office for a while, then walked out after receiving the message.
