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

"However, no matter how alluring the aroma is, it cannot change the nature of a strong liquor. Even if a naive young woman is attracted by the aroma and appearance of orange wine, she will most likely stay away from it if she tastes its bitterness."

"I feel like you're implying something."

"That's right."

Vermouth's hand remained on her wine glass, her face slightly flushed, and her expression softened: "After all, women who truly understand wine are a relatively small minority."

"You mean someone like Chianti?"

"..."

One sentence made Vermouth almost lose her composure.

Chianti...

Although that woman sometimes drinks with a bottle of red wine in one hand and a bottle of beer in the other, while cursing and ordering people around, she is indeed very knowledgeable about wine.

Looking at the smile on Lin Jiashu's face, Vermouth felt that he was really difficult to deal with.

She stopped pretending and gracefully downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.

Lin Jiashu glanced at the watch on his left wrist.

"I noticed you've been staring at the time on your watch. Is something the matter?"

Did you notice?

Lin Jiashu laughed and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that I feel very uncomfortable if the girl makes the restaurant reservations on the date and I don't arrange any of the procedures."

"He really is a habitual offender who frequently dates women."

"So, will you be curious about what's going on with a repeat offender like me?"

"If that's the case, then there certainly will be some."

"That's great."

Lin Jiashu smiled very happily.

Chapter 255: Even someone as skilled in calculation as Coindus can encounter such things (4k)

20:23 pm

Tokyo at night is adorned with dazzling neon lights, making it exceptionally glamorous.

A peaceful yet lively night.

Orange lights streamed from the open windows of shops on the bustling commercial street, accompanying the dancing shadows of people as they walked along the paved road.

Sitting in the passenger seat of the white Mercedes, Vermouth, who had just touched up her lipstick, pursed her bright red lips, closed the makeup mirror, and revealed a smile.

Where are you taking me?

Tokyo Tower.

"Isn't that a place young couples go on dates?"

"Yes, is it surprising?"

"Unexpected, but I'm very interested."

Taking in the dazzling lights of the street, Vermouth said leisurely, "I've never actually been to that place."

"But you seem like the type who would travel to many places alone."

"Don't let your appearance determine your impression of a woman."

The two chatted casually.

Soon, the vehicles smoothly merged into the traffic and headed towards Zhi Park.

The streetlights shone through the clear windshield, falling on the two people inside the car before quickly passing by.

The occasional bumps during the vehicle's journey caused the soft valley in front of Vermouth to sway gently.

To match this dress, she wore some very comfortable underwear.

Is there something on my face?

Noticing her open and confident gaze, Lin Jiashu couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, I just suddenly became curious about what type of woman you like."

"secret."

Lin Jiashu glanced at Vermouth and said with a smile.

The woman raised an eyebrow.

She was actually wondering if Junto would like someone like Ran, but then she suddenly thought of Sherry.

The girl I saw at the amusement park that day, her whole body tense...

No doubt about it, that's Sherry!

After returning home that day, Vermouth secretly conducted a considerable investigation. According to her findings, the time Conan Edogawa appeared coincided with the time Shinichi Kudo disappeared. The same was true for Sherry; a few days after her disappearance, a girl named Ai Haibara suddenly appeared at Teitan Elementary School.

Cointreau, do you know that she is Sherry?

A newcomer with no connections in the organization and no access to intelligence is rising to prominence thanks to Gin's appreciation. Logically, he shouldn't know anything about APTX4869 and Sherry.

Given Vermouth's hatred for Sherry, she should have considered how to deal with Sherry the moment she discovered her... However, now Sherry is facing Jundo, who is connected to Ran.

So, do Cointreau and Sherry actually have any connection?

Vermouth must investigate this thoroughly before taking any action; otherwise, if Cointreau and Sherry really get involved and Gin finds out, it might put Ran in danger.

"Here is the place."

The car was finally parked in the parking lot under Tokyo Tower.

Vermouth put aside her complicated thoughts and got out of the car with a flawless smile.

Like a radiant socialite at a ball, she gracefully extended her hand to Hayashi Yoshiki.

The latter took his hand without hesitation.

"Let's go."

The destination is the large observation deck on the second floor of Tokyo Tower.

After checking your ticket, take the sightseeing elevator directly to the high-altitude exhibition platform, which is hundreds of meters high. At night, this place is indeed frequented by many young couples.

The appearance of Hayashi Yoshiki and Vermouth attracted a lot of attention, and also some whispers.

"So beautiful..."

Are they celebrities?

"Is this for real? Are they filming an advertisement?"

"..."

Neither of them was affected by the gazes or voices of others.

From the Tokyo Tower observation deck, you can see most of the night view of Tokyo's Minato Ward through the clear glass windows, as well as Zojoji Temple, which seems out of place surrounded by the city, and even the distant Mount Fuji hidden in the night.

But the most important thing is the city itself—although crowded, the view overlooking the bright lights and bustling modern city at night has a unique charm.

Vermouth gazed at it for a moment, then felt she had seen enough.

With her arms crossed and draped over her chest, she gave Hayashi Yoshiki a cheerful look: "Are we almost there? The time you've been so concerned about."

"It's almost ready, come with me."

Lin Jiashu glanced at the time, smiled, and reached out his hand to Vermouth.

The latter gracefully placed her hand in his.

Passing by some dessert shops and theaters in the observation deck, Yoshiki Hayashi's destination was clear—the emergency exit passage near the wall covered with prayer tokens.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window next to the "Emergency Exit" sign—

"Huh?"

When Vermouth saw the view outside the window, she was first taken aback, and then somewhat surprised.

"Surprised? This is another Tokyo Tower that can only be seen at this time."

Looking ahead, you can see Sakurada Avenue, which extends from the Akabanebashi intersection.

You might not be able to tell anything during the day.

However, as night approached 9 PM, the lanes became extremely congested. Combined with the red lights that brought the traffic to a standstill, the countless red taillights of the vehicles intertwined and blended with the shape of the lanes, creating another wondrous view of Tokyo Tower from inside the tower.

After admiring it for a moment, Vermouth, who also found it strange, smiled and looked at Hayashi Yoshiki, asking:

"So usually at this time, you would put your arm around the girl's shoulder, whisper in her ear, and share this other Tokyo Tower in an ambiguous voice, right?"

"So there's this trick too?"

Lin Jiashu opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Such a handsome face displaying such an innocent look is actually quite endearing.

However, Vermouth was completely unmoved by this.

Just as she was about to say something, she saw Lin Jiashu look at his watch and suddenly start a countdown: "10...9...8..."

His countdown reminded Vermouth of her experience in Osaka.

However, when the countdown ended, all that appeared was a dazzling display of fireworks.

At the top of "another Tokyo Tower" outside the window, colorful fireworks suddenly appeared, catching Vermouth's attention.

One, two, three, countless rays of light of various colors shot one after another into the sky in the night, which stretched for a considerable distance.

The magnificent and vibrant colors of the fireworks caught her eye, one after another leaping and dancing, leaving her stunned for a moment before she couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief: "Can fireworks really be set off like this in the city?"

"Don't dwell on the details, and besides, it's not just the Tokyo Tower outside the window that's having fireworks."

"Ok?"

"If you don't believe me, why don't you close your eyes and try it?"

No, I believe it.

That being said, Vermouth did indeed close her eyes.

The countdown started playing again in my ears.

It only lasted five seconds.

“5……4……3……2……1……”

"boom!"

The instant Vermouth opened her eyes, she saw the fairy wand in Hayashi Yoshiki's hand.

A tiny cluster of constantly flashing "fireworks".

Upon seeing it, Vermouth couldn't help but laugh.
