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

The distillery's technology tree seems to have always been far ahead of the world. Putting aside the plot-starting drug A, in an era when everyone was still using big-headed computers, Vodka's portable computer seemed a bit too advanced.

"I've found out. He's been secretly conducting transactions with these two phone numbers. I'll have someone check who these two people are."

Vodka edited a text message and sent it out.

While waiting for the results, Lin Jiashu glanced at his watch and saw that there were only five seconds left until 22:09.

I packed up the vodka and started the car again.

When the vehicle had just driven forward ten meters and was about to start accelerating, Lin Jiashu looked back and saw a motorcycle with its high beams flashing approaching quickly from behind.

"This guy……"

Vodka also noticed it, but didn't pay much attention to it at first. However, the motorcycle passed them and stopped directly in front of the car, causing Vodka to subconsciously step on the brakes.

"Hey, do you want to die!?"

He rolled down the window and cursed, but the man who got off the motorcycle staggered and strode straight to the passenger door, then reached into his windbreaker and took out a knife.

Gin also rolled down the car window. Lin Jiashu noticed that his hand had already reached into his windbreaker, probably holding a gun...

"Hey, kid, take out all the valuables!"

Taku Chikuta was a middle-aged man with a rough face. His eyes were wide open and bloodshot. He put a knife into the car window, pointed it at Gin, and threatened him with spit flying everywhere.

Lin Jiashu noticed that his breathing was very short and his pupils were abnormally dilated...it seemed like he had hit something.

Gin raised his hand expressionlessly, raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

His speed was so fast that even though Lin Jiashu was prepared, he still found it difficult to see... Hidden by the silencer, the brass bullet flew out and directly penetrated the skin on Taku Chikuta's forehead, leaving a charred hole.

"Uh...ah...a..."

Taku Chikuta's pupils trembled.

His eyes began to lose focus, and his knife, which had lost its strength to hold, was about to fall into the car, but was grabbed by Gin, who thrust the tip of the knife into Taku's neck and pushed him aside.

The blood didn't even splash on the car.

Vodka restarted the car.

Lin Jiashu in the back seat just glanced at Taku Chikuta's lifeless body lying there with the corner of his eye, and his heart was calm.

——Two people died in just a five-minute journey. This matter will definitely be reported in the newspaper tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Taku Taku's death and the robbery will also be reported. The exact amount of things stolen will be clear when we read the newspaper.

Vodka drove the car back to the downtown area.

He waited until he heard the sound of a text message coming from his phone, then he found a random place to stop and turned on his computer to log into his email.

"Sent it over, hey...two more damn rats."

The email contained two documents. When opened, they contained the identities and photos of the two men, as well as their daily activity locations and records.

"Lin Jiashu."

Gin looked at the files on the computer and said without turning his head, "Prove your ability once again and take care of these two guys."

"...They are marginal individuals who have some connection with the organization." Lin Jiashu looked at the two faces on the screen with interest.

"Yes, there have been quite a few guys who are quite unruly recently, and even some gang members who want to play a game of robbing each other of our gangs. And guys like these are idiots who don't know the terror of the organization and dare to sell out the interests of the organization for a little money." Vodka said sarcastically.

"Sure." Lin Jiashu played with his phone, "But how long does as soon as possible mean?"

"The sooner the better, but no more than five days." Because of Lin Jiashu's unique way of killing, Gin gave him plenty of time.

"Well, let's say two days later. Does that mean the method of death is important?"

"Whatever you want, I just want the result."

Murder is murder, no matter how fancy the process is, it is still murder.

Gin doesn't care about anything else.

but,

(Are there murderers who consider killing an art form?)

Gin thought silently as he glanced at Lin Jiashu, who was still smiling after receiving the task and seemed to feel no pressure at all.

From the aquarium incident, it was clear that Lin Jiashu's killing method was a series of actions. Although he did kill his target perfectly, the fact that the target was finally crushed to death on his back instantly made him irritated...

In other words, this guy finds it difficult to accept that there are flaws in the perfect scenario he planned.

(Perhaps it's boring perfectionism, or maybe it's just plain obsessive-compulsive disorder.)

Gin chuckled in his heart.

He doesn't care about his subordinates' personalities or ideas. As long as they are capable enough and loyal to the organization, that's enough.

In addition, as long as Lin Jiashu can prove his ability again this time, Gin naturally doesn't mind giving him a hand.

"Then I'll do it my way. Please send me this file later. And if there's nothing else, could you take me to Mihua's second apartment?"

"Brother?" Vodka turned his head to look at Gin.

"Send him there."

The vehicle quickly drove away from the spot.

Lin Jiashu said that it was easy to work in a winery - as long as you had the ability and the opportunity to let Gin drive you, it would be fine.

I seem to have forgotten to mention that my surname has been changed from Lin Jia to Lin.

Chapter 27: Subsequent arrangements and Xiaolan's request

"Two bodies shot in the area around the Beika City Aquarium were found."

"..."

"Police investigations and evidence collection revealed that one of the deceased, Taku Chita, had been riding a motorcycle and engaging in robbery in the surrounding area before his death."

"At the time of the incident, Taku Chita had already successfully committed two robberies, stealing a total of 23601 yen."

"Based on the analysis of the wounds on the body—"

"..."

"..."

Sitting at the computer desk, Lin Jiashu smiled with satisfaction after extracting the information he wanted from the next day's newspaper.

Let's put the experiment to a halt for now.

There are only two things he needs to do recently. One is to set up and register the detective agency, and the other is to write the two names handed to him by Gin on the Death Note.

It's not a big deal.

As for a slightly longer-term goal...

Lin Jiashu took a pen and drew a circle in the Death Note, marking the word "Spider".

Lin Jiashu has been thinking about how to get the real name of the killer who uses illusion on the set of Kaito Kid - after all, the other party's ability seems to be very useful.

There are three paths currently envisioned.

One is through the winery's intelligence network, but Lin Jiashu can't directly ask Gin to help him do this, as that would be too conspicuous.

However, perhaps the Death Note could be used to pit the people at the winery against the organization behind Spider, so that Lin Jiashu could confuse the public.

The second is through the divination magic of the witch Koizumi Hongzi. The other party's divination magic seems to be able to do a lot of things.

Finally, there is the artificial intelligence "Noah's Ark" that appeared in the movie "The Phantom of Baker Street" - Lin Jiashu believes that this is the most reliable option.

With the power of artificial intelligence, any trace left on the Internet can be easily found.

But now is not the time for artificial intelligence to appear...

Thinking of this, Lin Jiashu marked the word "Gin" on the Death Note.

He vaguely remembered that the original work had revealed Gin and Vodka's real names as Easter eggs: Kurosawa Jin and Uozuka Saburo, but it was not known whether these were their real names or temporary pseudonyms.

I can find an opportunity someday to test Vodka's opinion when Gin is not around.

"Ding-ling-ling~Ding-ling-ling~!"

The phone on the table suddenly rang.

Lin Jiashu pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Yoshiki-nii?"

"it's me."

"Excuse me, are you available today? ...I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

It was Ran Maori's voice on the other end of the phone.

She sounded a little reserved and embarrassed, but before Lin Jiashu could respond, she immediately started talking: "It's like this. A while ago, I was eating cake with my friends in a cafe when two boys approached me. Afterwards, they invited us to a Valentine's Day party this afternoon..."

Is it a plot person today?

Lin Jiashu had no impression at all, but he didn't show it in his tone:

"I couldn't refuse them, and you have absolutely no interest in them, right, Xiaolan?"

"Yes……"

Xiaolan lowered her voice unconsciously, feeling really embarrassed and ashamed.

Because the boy's invitation was too strong and he kept talking to himself, she had no way to refuse... Xiaolan originally wanted to call Kudo Shinichi to ask if he was free, but the call was not connected, so she had to find Hayashi Yoshiki to ask.

"Okay, that's okay. I'll go with you."

"Yeah! That's great. But Yoshiki-nii, my friend will be there too."

"Is that the girl who was with you at the last book signing?"

"Yes."

"Okay, then I'll pick you up when the time comes."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiashu thought for a while, picked up a pen and started writing on the Death Note.

----

1:30 p.m.

As promised, Lin Jiashu arrived downstairs at the Maori Detective Agency, and saw a short-haired girl dressed in a youthful and lively manner standing there waiting.

She had a small bag on her right shoulder and a cell phone in her other hand, her eyes frequently glancing towards the stairs beside her as if she was waiting for someone. When she heard footsteps and turned her head, her eyes suddenly lit up when she unexpectedly met Lin Jiashu's gaze.

“Ah, Mr. Lin!!”

"Good afternoon, Sonoko-san." Lin Jiashu walked over.

"Do you remember me?" Sonoko's eyes sparkled.

"Yeah, after all, you asked me to sign six books right when you came up that day."

"Uh--"

"Just kidding, actually Xiaolan mentioned you to me, saying you are her best friend."

"Of course!"

When talking about this, Suzuki Sonoko expressed great pride.

However, after feeling proud, Suzuki Sonoko began to feel embarrassed again when Hayashi Yoshiki kept staring at her with a smile.

"I've finished reading Mr. Lin Jia's books recently. They're really well written! But some of the plots can be a bit scary."

"It's a mystery novel after all..."

"But why did Mr. Lin Jia come to Xiaolan's house?"

"Hasn't Xiaolan told you yet?" Lin Jiashu looked at Suzuki Sonoko's surprised face and said with a smile, "I'm here to accompany you to the Valentine's Day party."

"!!!"

Hearing such wonderful words from such a beautiful face, Suzuki Sonoko felt that everything around her became bright and lively.

The sky is so blue.
