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

Moreover, Soichiro Fukayama does indeed have problems.

Firefighters quickly completed their firefighting operation, while some police officers maintained order and set up cordons before entering the scene to conduct an investigation.

All of their discoveries were exactly as Lin Jiashu had predicted.

All traces of Takada's body being moved, surveillance footage, and even any recording equipment that might exist in the darkroom were disposed of by Hayashi Yoshiki—especially since Ito Suehiko had fully cooperated with the actions Hayashi Yoshiki recorded in the Death Note before his death.

Lin Jiashu was quickly taken to give a statement.

He sat down, and Shiratori Ninzaburo thoughtfully prepared tea and coffee for him. Just as they were about to start, Kogoro Mouri and Conan, who had been notified, rushed over.

"Has everything been resolved?!" he shouted as soon as he came in.

"Yes, the bombs in Xiaolan's hands have been defused, and everyone is fine."

Lin Jiashu smiled.

Instantly, Kogoro Mouri, who had breathed a huge sigh of relief, collapsed to the ground.

Heiji Hattori and Conan were equally happy.

The two of them compared their progress with that of Lin Jiashu, who was now calmly preparing to take notes, and couldn't help but sigh that the other was truly a monster...

"So what exactly does he want us to investigate?"

"...I'm also a little confused, but we can't say it's completely resolved yet."

"what?"

"It seems like Ito Suehiko's death was to bury something, I think it was his senior, Fukayama Soichiro."

With Hayashi Yoshiki's words, Conan and Hattori's attention was immediately diverted.

Now we just have to wait for Soichiro Fukayama's last actions before he dies.

Hayashi Yoshiki also recorded the death of Fukayama Soichiro. Now, all that's left is for him to act according to the contents of the Death Note. Ito Suehiko's matter will no longer involve Shimizu Reiko.

The group stayed in the Metropolitan Police Department until sunset.

On the way back to the fantasy park, Conan looked at Yoshiki Hayashi several times as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, but didn't ask because Kogoro Mouri was there.

The group quickly reunited with Xiaolan and her friends, who had spent the day at the amusement park.

"Brother Jiashu!"

"Brother Jiashu, have you finished your request?"

"It's so slow! We've been playing all day!"

"But it's strange, a staff member just came over and gave us new IDs."

Lin Jiashu smiled and agreed with them.

Then he noticed that Ai Haibara was about to ask her something, and suddenly realized that something was wrong with her.

The girl, with her head down, had a livid face and was in a state of fear and stress.

Chapter 251: Vermouth in the Dark

Seeing Ai Haibara's reaction, Yoshiki Hayashi immediately realized that Vermouth was hiding nearby.

The Thousand-Faced Witch, a perfect actress.

Is he still worried about Xiaolan?

Or perhaps he wanted to observe himself more closely in front of Xiaolan?

Recalling her question in the restaurant about whose disguise was better, his or Kaito Kid's, Yoshiki lowered his eyes and smiled.

"Brother Jiashu~!"

"Did Sonoko come to play too?"

Looking at Suzuki Sonoko, who was happily greeting him, Hayashi Yoshiki smiled gently.

"What a coincidence today!" Sonoko's tone was bright and cheerful: "I originally came here for the celebration party at the Red Castle Hotel tonight, and while I was killing time, I happened to run into Ran and the others, and then I found out that Kazuha was here too!"

"It is indeed a coincidence."

"But I just received a call saying that there was a sudden explosion on the top floor of the Red Castle Hotel, and my dad told me not to go there anymore."

As Sonoko finished speaking, Ran, who was standing next to her, suddenly seemed to realize something.

"The top floor, isn't that the client...?"

She looked at Hayashi Yoshiki in front of her, then at Kogoro Mouri beside her and Heiji Hattori, who was talking to Conan.

Considering that they disappeared for a day, then suddenly staff came to take their IDs, and then there was the explosion at the hotel and the police around, Xiaolan vaguely sensed something.

"Could it be that Yoshiki-san and you guys...?"

"Don't worry, it's all over."

Lin Jiashu, who gave her a gentle smile, deliberately avoided the topic: "How about we go get some ice cream?"

"Don't keep everything from me, Yoshiki-nii!"

"But I really want to eat ice cream right now."

Lin Jiashu's smile remained unchanged. "After a busy day, I rarely crave something sweet right now."

"..."

The girl pursed her lips.

At that moment, she felt that Yoshiki was really too cunning.

Since things have come to this point, doesn't she have no choice but to comply with his wishes?

So Ran and Sonoko accompanied Hayashi Yoshiki to buy ice cream—there was no need to invite the group of children, since they had already enjoyed all kinds of cakes and ice cream today, wearing their IDs.

Lin Jiashu ordered two ice creams for himself.

"Brother Jiashu, would you like two?"

"No, it's just that Ai seems a little off. I'll go check on her."

"Ah, how thoughtful Yoshiki-nii is..."

The garden was filled with emotion.

As Hayashi Yoshiki walked towards Ai Haibara, Ran couldn't help but watch him.

Yoshiki is always so gentle with people...

However, he never talks to anyone about everything he has endured.

Looking at his gentle back, Xiaolan felt that this was wrong.

Normal interpersonal relationships shouldn't be like this.

It's so unfair to Yoshiki-san that he's always the one doing all the work behind the scenes. Even if I can't really help much, I could at least share a little bit of his burden...

Seeing her father slumped over there looking completely relaxed, Xiaolan walked over with a very serious expression.

"Xiao Lan? Where are you going?" Sonoko asked in surprise.

On the recliner

Kogoro Mouri, who was staring at the sky like a salted fish, heard his daughter's voice and came back to his senses. When he looked at her, his daughter's serious expression almost made him hallucinate as Eri Kisaki.

"what happened?"

"What exactly is the purpose of today's request?"

"A commission? It's nothing, it's already been resolved."

"If you don't tell the truth, then you'll have to cook for yourselves for the next month."

"……Well!"

Kogoro Mouri's weakness was immediately exploited.

Helpless, he could only tell the truth, almost as if he were surrendering.

On the other side, Yoshiki Hayashi handed the ice cream to Ai Haibara.

"You're actually more noticeable like this."

"...You know?"

"Ah, don't worry, I was the one who lured them here."

Seeing the smile on Junto's face, Ai Haibara felt a sense of security.

She reached out and took the ice cream.

Lin Jiashu ruffled her hair while subtly observing their surroundings.

There were just too many tourists around.

Seriously, if I had the Death Eye, I wouldn't need to go through all this trouble—the disguised face is like wearing a mask, and the Death Eye wouldn't see the name, so it could directly detect the fact that the other person is disguised.

Too lazy to look for it.

For Hayashi Yoshiki, knowing that Vermouth was secretly observing nearby was enough.

"Brother Jiashu!"

"what"

"...Dad has already told me."

The girl who ran over had a stubborn yet adorable expression, and looked at Lin Jiashu with a determined gaze.

Her expression, as if she had made up her mind, made Lin Jiashu fall silent.

After a while,

"...In short, as long as Xiaolan and the others are alright, that's all that matters."

Under the moonlight and the shimmering neon lights of the amusement park, his handsome face finally revealed a relieved, gentle, and somewhat weak expression.

"!"

But when she met those eyes that finally stopped forcing themselves to look reliable, as if all her worries had been relieved in an instant, Xiaolan couldn't say a word for a long time.

"..."

Jia Shu looks very tired.

She was a little worried.

At that moment, an announcement was broadcast over the park's loudspeaker.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to all visitors by the closure of the "Super Serpent" attraction this afternoon. The "Super Serpent" has now been repaired and will reopen in ten minutes.

Passengers interested in taking a ride are welcome to visit.

Just as the broadcast caught Xiaolan's attention, Lin Jiashu reverted to his initial demeanor: "I'm somewhat interested, how about we go and try it out?"

"it is good."

Xiaolan never considered refusing.

The children who heard the news were also very excited and clamored to go over.

As everyone boarded their seats on the giant snake, an ordinary-looking tourist also took a seat at the back.

Vermouth stared at Lin Jiashu and Xiaolan sitting in front of her.

He really cares for Ran, Cointreau...

However, from another perspective, he was still too dangerous for Xiaolan.

Based on his demeanor alone, the naive angel would be extremely easy to attract, and Vermouth felt that this was unacceptable—the man's fragrance contained an aphrodisiac for women, a fact Vermouth was certain she could not be wrong about.

Even though his care and love for Xiaolan were genuine, it still didn't work.

The Silver Bullet, which I had high hopes for, seems to be a bit slow in this regard...

Vermouth looked at Conan, who was sitting with Heiji Hattori.

Yes, she recognized him.

Ever since Shinichi Kudo's name appeared on the death list of APTX4869, Vermouth, who was far away in the United States, was determined to come back and investigate. Having a vague understanding of the drug's effects, she immediately guessed what Conan was doing when she saw his behavior.
