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

And then there's...

She looked at Ai Haibara, who was standing on the ground below and hadn't joined the ride.

Chapter 252: Is there a mole within the task force?

The matter of Ito Suehiko has come to a complete end.

His predecessor, Soichiro Fukayama of the Fukayama Trading Company, was also imprisoned after the police collected a large amount of evidence against him.

The other person's ultimate fate will be to die by suicide.

"The BOSS's life is really rich."

A cup of freshly brewed black tea was placed in front of Hayashi Yoshiki, and Amuro Toru said with a smile, "So you've only recently decided to take some time to write a book?"

"Yes, but it's also because I came up with a good idea."

"Oh? Would you mind telling me?"

"inconvenient."

"Not at all."

"What has Mr. Amuro been up to lately?"

"After relaxing on vacation for a while, I've recently become obsessed with fishing."

Amuro Toru sat down opposite Hayashi Yoshiki with a smile.

He can lie so easily.

Amuro Tooru had been busy with the tasks Rum had assigned him, while also trying to gather information on Cointreau within the organization... However, this mysterious new member left him feeling like he didn't know where to begin.

The newcomers personally discovered by Gin are among the most confidential, and any access to their information will be recorded.

Amuro Tooru's authority is insufficient.

Moreover, given the level of secrecy surrounding this information, even if it were opened, it's unlikely to contain Jundu's true identity file.

But Amuro Tooru was not discouraged.

He even managed to uncover Vermouth's secrets; Cointreau's identity is nothing more than a protracted battle.

but……

Amuro Tooru looked at the young man in front of him, who was leisurely drinking tea.

He never expected that during his investigation of Jundu's information, the young man in front of him would also fall victim to Jundu's treachery... Although Jundu did not intend to kill him, he was still seriously injured.

That bastard!

Thinking of how Hayashi Yoshiki, even knowing she was being set up, still immediately tried to save the man in the car accident in the video, Amuro Tooru felt a surge of resentment.

"Fishing seems like a lot of fun, but I probably don't have the patience for it."

As Lin Jiashu spoke with a smile, he replied to several text messages on his phone.

Kaito Kuroba: "What happened with that guy who committed the accidental murder?"

Lin Jiashu: "What are you talking about?"

Kaito Kuroba: "Don't play dumb. I heard about it. You were badly injured by that guy, weren't you?"

Hayashi Yoshiki: "Don't meddle. You should be more concerned about your father's whereabouts, and Kuroba-kun who's been secretly impersonating Hakuba Saguru."

Kaito Kuroba: "Tch!"

Ekoda High School, 2nd Year, Class B

Kaito Kuroba, who was using his phone during break time, pursed his lips and was about to put it away when he suddenly heard a female voice next to him.

"How did Lin Jiashu get so badly injured?"

"Wow!?"

Kaito Kuroba was startled and turned around to find it was Akako Koizumi.

"Why are you so quiet?"

"I'm a little curious because you seem distracted."

Koizumi Akako showed no awareness of invading others' privacy. She haughtily gathered her long, wine-red hair and asked bluntly, "So, what's going on?"

Kindaichi Detective Agency

Lin Jiashu was still replying to text messages.

Conan: "Shall we talk about this sometime after school?"

Hayashi Yoshiki: "What's wrong? Were you bullied by older students at school?"

Conan: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Conan: "I want to have a serious talk with you about something."

"..."

After the other party revealed their identity, it became a troublesome matter for Lin Jiashu.

However, seeing how serious he was, it was indeed difficult to refuse, so Lin Jiashu decided to talk to him at another time later.

And then there's...

Ikumi Gunda: "Are you free lately, Mr. Hayashi?"

Hayashi Yoshiki: "What can I do for you?"

Ikumi Gunda: "It's nothing, it's just that it's a bit of a shame that we've already gone on two dates, but each time something went wrong."

The person using the name Gunta Ikumi is actually Vermouth—after adding her personal phone number, Hayashi Yoshiki saved her in Gunta Ikumi's contact information and hasn't changed it back yet.

However, speaking of Ikumi Gunda and Harufumi Mogi, those two famous detectives were indeed capable; they did manage to fool the blind Suehiko Ito and keep him alive.

Hayashi Yoshiki: "That's true."

Lin Jiashu: "I understand. Let's find another time to schedule it."

Vermouth raised an eyebrow upon seeing the message.

It went surprisingly smoothly.

Was it because he helped him this time? Or was it because he felt indebted to him for the favor he owed him?

But no matter what, it's good that things go smoothly.

If it were any other man, Vermouth wouldn't care at all, but for the naive Ran, Jundo was simply too dangerous... Compared to him, the now childish and slow-witted Boy was no match for him at all.

Thinking about her experience in the United States, Vermouth couldn't help but worry about the future of the couple she had decided to support for life.

So she decided to test Jundu's thoughts, or perhaps try to draw his attention to this side.

"Why are you smiling so obviously all of a sudden? Did something good happen?" Amuro Tooru noticed Hayashi Yoshiki's relaxed smile.

Let's assume so for now.

"Is he going on a date with some beautiful girl?"

"Does it look that obvious?"

"seriously?"

Amuro Tooru was somewhat speechless.

In his eyes, Lin Jiashu was perfect in every way, except perhaps for being a bit of a womanizer?

However, it's not that he can't understand it.

No one is perfect, and Lin Jiashu's behavior actually made him feel real.

Buzzing! Buzzing!

Lin Jiashu's phone vibrated and then rang.

Upon seeing the caller ID, his expression turned serious. Ignoring Amuro Tooru, he got up, walked to the balcony, and answered the call.

(Is this about the special task force?)

Amuro Tooru's eyes flickered slightly.

Ever since Lin Jiashu was injured by Jundu's scheme, he naturally learned that Jundu had joined the task force.

Has the killer struck again?

"That's right, this time the victim is someone whose online records are still available, and..."

Even through the phone, Lin Jiashu could sense that Odagiri Toshiro's tone had become low and serious: "Those who died were the very people we immediately blocked the information from entering."

"……I see."

Previously, the task force listened to Lin Jiashu's advice and monitored and blocked or deleted posts that exposed crimes in the online environment.

Some of these posts were discovered and dealt with within half a minute of being posted... However, even at such a speed, the person who was exposed still died unexpectedly a few days later.

This immediately made Toshiro Odagiri suspect that there might be a mole within the task force.

Lin Jiashu was silent for a moment, then said in a heavy tone:

"Let me think about it and I'll contact you again later, Manager Odagiri."

Chapter 253: Gin's Cold Violence

The white Mercedes sped along the suburban highway.

After passing through the dense forest, when a road sign finally appeared ahead, Lin Jiashu turned on his turn signal and turned in.

The final destination was in front of a lake.

"Jun Du is here, brother."

When Vodka saw the familiar white car stop by the lake, he spoke to Gin beside him.

Gin hummed in agreement.

When Lin Jiashu got out of the car and walked over, he found the two people in front of him sitting on a camping chair, and Gin was holding a... fishing rod in his hand.

The wondrous scene before him made Lin Jiashu stop and stare.

However, he only paused for a moment before quickly walking forward.

Vodka was about to greet them, but Lin Jiashu, who had walked over, spoke first, asking, "Are there any corpses in the lake?"

"..."

Vodka opened his mouth, and Gin's calm breathing paused involuntarily.

His eyes, hidden beneath the brim of his hat, glanced over, his voice calm and collected: "I'm off today."

What's Cointreau thinking?

To associate fishing with dead people is truly a sign of a serious illness.

Vodka brought over a folding camping chair, unfolded it, and placed it behind Lin Jiashu, who thanked him and sat down.

“I didn’t have much to do yesterday and today, so I came here to kill time,” Vodka said, baiting his hook. “Would you like a fishing rod?”

"I'll give it a try."

Vodka thoughtfully prepared a fishing rod for Lin Jiashu.

As Lin Jiashu cast the fishing line into the lake and watched the colorful buoy bobbing gently on the surface, she said, "I thought you were the type who wasn't interested in anything except work."

"Fishing can cultivate patience and the ability to control one's breathing."

Gin's tone was indeed unusually calm at this moment, "But there really is nothing to do."

"So, did you catch any fish?"

"..."

The atmosphere by the lake was very quiet.

A gentle breeze rippled the surface of the lake and stirred the willow branches hanging down along the shore.

Gin began to use passive-aggressive tactics against Yoshiki Hayashi.
