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

She had also undergone close combat training, but as a sniper, her skill level was far inferior... In the end, she barely passed the training, taking more than four minutes, and she was seriously injured.

"You brought a gun in?"

Lin Jiashu smiled without saying a word.

Although he didn't bring a gun, bringing a knife was actually a huge advantage for him... However, the distillery didn't care about such things at all; they didn't care about any means of killing.

When is the book signing event?

Cohen, who had walked over, asked.

He heard that Lin Jiashu's new book had been written and sent to the publisher, and he was looking forward to it.

"There are still more than ten days... but my current condition may not be suitable for you to participate."

"..."

For a moment, Cohen fell silent.

His entire demeanor visibly became incredibly depressed.

"I'll sign it for you."

"No, that's different."

"...If all else fails, then we'll disguise ourselves or change our appearance."

"it is good."

Cohen's response was decisive.

Upon hearing Hayashi Yoshiki mention disguise, Gin couldn't help but look over: "Don't get too close to that Vermouth guy."

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

Hearing him say that, Gin stopped talking.

He wasn't worried that Lin Jiashu would side with the intelligence group because of Vermouth—as far as he knew, Vermouth and Rum weren't on the same page either.

The woman was more like a third party independent of the action group and the intelligence group, able to move freely within the organization because of the boss's favor.

“Speaking of which, Cointreau, the Odagiri Toshiro you asked me to keep an eye on is still showing no signs of anything unusual,” Vodka said. “I’ve also been monitoring the online activities of people around him, but the result is the same.”

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lin Jiashu was not surprised by the result.

The investigation into the accidental killer has now stalled for a long time.

There are no clues.

All the task force could do was follow up and investigate immediately after an accidental murder, but the result was always that it had nothing to do with the murderer.

This resulted in the task force accumulating more and more information about the victims, but it was all bloated and useless.

The only change was that the task force confirmed that the murderer was indeed using the internet to collect information about the victims, and that he was even faster than the police. Even the exposure of the victims' information that was discovered and blocked immediately could not stop his actions.

"Let's wait a little longer..."

Toshiro Odagiri is a policeman who hates evil.

Based on Lin Jiashu's observations of him, this man with zero tolerance for criminals might do something unbelievable.

Perhaps one more opportunity is needed...

"Still thinking about the school festival?"

Evening

As a group of elementary school students followed Professor Agasa to the cake shop, Ai Haibara asked Conan, whose face was grave.

The latter remained silent.

It had been almost half a month since the Teitan High School Festival, and he had been on tenterhooks ever since—someone who had appeared out of nowhere and disguised himself as Shinichi Kudo had disappeared without a trace.

Conan wasn't naive enough to think the other person was there to dispel Ran's suspicions; he was more worried that the other person might be impersonating him to test something.

If it's someone from that organization...

Seeing his deep and thoughtful expression, Ai Haibara didn't try to persuade him.

That would be perfect.

She had actually asked Jundo about this matter, and his answer was that she shouldn't take it to heart... Perhaps this whole thing was arranged by him, after all, Ai Haibara still vividly remembered the time someone disguised themselves as her on the rooftop of the Beika Hotel.

"Officer Sato? Oh, what are you doing with these kids?"

As the group approached the cake shop, they unexpectedly bumped into Shiratori Ninzaburo and Takagi Wataru.

Miwako Sato, who was walking with several children, smiled and said, "I just happened to see them. Since they helped me with the last incident, I thought I'd treat them to cake to express my gratitude."

"I see..."

"And what about you two? What are you doing here?"

"We received some strange intelligence, so we came to this restaurant to investigate," Takagi Wataru said with a sheepish grin. "Unfortunately, we didn't find anything."

"In my opinion, this news is just a baseless rumor." Shiratori Renzaburo shrugged.

The three policemen exchanged pleasantries.

When Sato Miwako asked them if they wanted to go to a mixer later, Shiratori had to leave regretfully because he had something to do afterward and got into his car first.

"Officer Takagi, what kind of intelligence did you receive?" Conan couldn't help but ask Takagi Wataru.

“Ah, someone called headquarters and said he planted a bomb in this restaurant,” Takagi Wataru replied instinctively. “Since the first two bombs happened seven years ago and three years ago today, we came to check it out.”

"Seven years ago and three years ago today?"

As he muttered the keyword under his breath, Conan suddenly realized something was wrong.

But at that moment, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in the car that Shiratori Ninzaburo had gotten into!

In the instant the impact and tremor came, the group of people saw the car billowing black smoke amidst the flames.

"Officer Shiratori!!!"

Chapter 262: Perhaps an Opportunity

"I am the main starter in the Major Leagues"

"This overtime game is about to begin."

The match will officially begin at noon tomorrow and will continue until 3 p.m.

"Even if I find someone to stop me, it's all in vain."

"I will eventually turn the tide and win."

"If you want to stop this game, come find me, until you cops arrive stepping over blood-stained bases."

"In the end, I'll be waiting for you on the steel home plate."

As Shiratori Ninzaburo was seriously injured in the explosion and sent to the hospital, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department also received a fax with a strange message, causing quite a stir within the department.

Lin Jiashu received the invitation.

Although he is a detective registered with the Metropolitan Police Department, the police generally do not actively invite detectives to get involved in these kinds of cases... The crime scene is not a big deal, but when it happens within the police force, the police also have their own stance and face to consider.

However, now that Lin Jiashu has also taken on the role of a consultant for the special task force, making him practically one of the police's own, the situation has changed again.

"You want to play overtime? That's outrageous!"

In the office, Matsumoto Kiyonaga, after carefully reading the fax, slammed his fist on the desk.

Odagiri Toshiro crossed his arms and said with a grim face, "This time, I must settle things with this guy."

"From what you two are saying, this isn't the first time the police have dealt with people distributing flyers, is that right?"

Lin Jiashu was also holding a flyer in his hand, and he asked the two people in front of him.

"good."

Toshiro Odagiri nodded. "That's a bomb-wielding criminal who's now specifically targeting our police force. He committed two crimes seven years ago and three years ago today."

"Seven years ago and three years ago?"

"right……"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at the young man who had once been his daughter's student and offered his explanation:

"Seven years ago there was a bombing, and there were actually two perpetrators."

"As for the location where they planted the bombs, it was two apartment buildings in the city. They demanded a ransom of one billion yen and said that if any resident left the apartment, the bombs would be detonated immediately."

"One of the bombs was successfully defused within the time limit, but the other one was more troublesome. The police had no choice but to agree to their demands, and the criminals used the bomb to stop the timer."

"Afterwards, the residents of the apartment began to evacuate. The police thought that the incident had come to an end for the time being and were preparing to follow up and investigate the perpetrators."

"But unexpectedly, the perpetrator angrily called 30 minutes later and said that the bomb's timer was still ticking... We initially guessed that he might have misunderstood after watching the news report about the case being rebroadcast on TV, but this was an opportunity for us."

"At the time, we managed to locate the criminal in a public phone booth by delaying his signal, but he died in a car accident while trying to escape."

"The news of his companion's death spurred another criminal, who started a timer that had already stopped, resulting in the sacrifice of one of our outstanding officers in the explosives disposal team."

The "outstanding police officer" refers to Kenji Hagiwara.

Lin Jiashu remembered that he was a classmate and friend of Amuro Tooru and Matsuda Jinpei, who graduated from the police academy at the same time.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga then recounted the case from three years prior.

The perpetrators planted a bomb inside the Ferris wheel, but when a skilled police officer boarded the wheel to defuse it, the perpetrators revealed that they had planted a larger bomb in another location, and the location would only be revealed three seconds before the bomb in front of them exploded.

For the safety of the public, the police officer named Matsuda Jinpei ultimately had no choice but to abandon the bomb in front of him and sacrifice himself to get the location of another bomb.

"If it is confirmed that it is the same bomber from seven years ago and three years ago, it is foreseeable that his targeting of the police will not change."

"You mean he might force us to make sacrifices, just like last time?" Toshiro Odagiri asked with a grim expression.

"That's highly likely, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to send another fax like that... specifically to have the police decipher the code and prepare for bomb disposal."

Lin Jiashu waved the A4 paper in his hand.

Immediately, the expressions of the two high-ranking police officers turned grim.

The criminals' plan was an open conspiracy, and even knowing this, they couldn't just sit idly by.

"Even so, we should at least find the location where the bomb was buried."

I agree with that.

"I'll need your help this time too, advisor."

"...It's nothing. We can't let such a vicious criminal get away with it."

Lin Jiashu also wore an unusually solemn expression, his tone firm.

"Yes."

Toshiro Odagiri nodded.

He never doubted the sense of justice of the young man in front of him.

Whether it was his assistance during the train bombing incident on the Loop Line, or his selfless actions on the Twin Towers and during the Osaka accidental murder case... He has helped the police countless times so far, and his deep-rooted kindness and sense of justice are absolutely undeniable.

Looking at Toshiro Odagiri's deep and solemn expression, Yoshiki Hayashi suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity...

The perpetrator of the bombing single-handedly killed two promising and outstanding police officers of the caliber of Tooru Amuro, and even took 12 million Tokyo citizens hostage, forcing the police to make sacrifices.

If it's this kind of guy...

If this kind of guy is used as bait, what should Minister Odagiri do?

"Did the perpetrator send a similar fax three years ago? What was the coded message back then? Also, please tell me the locations where he buried those two bombs."

Looking at the A4 paper in his hand again, Lin Jiashu said.

Upon hearing this, Matsumoto Kiyonaga immediately stood up: "I'll go find it right away!"

"Is there any progress?" Toshiro Odagiri asked.

"Yes, I have some guesses, but we need this information to confirm them."

"Thank you for your help!"
