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

"Use the names of those deceased newspaper editors to get him to come and cooperate with the investigation! Even if there's pressure from above, I'll take responsibility."

Odagiri Toshiro's tone was firm and unwavering, and the members of the task force quickly dismissed their doubts, intimidated by his imposing gaze.

The current high-pressure atmosphere within the Metropolitan Police Department actually makes it convenient for Toshiro Odagiri to issue such an order.

After all, he was genuinely trying to solve the case...

Especially now that Thomas Sindora is in a state of disrepute, whether it is intentionally created by some people with ulterior motives or not, public opinion is indeed on the opposite side of Sindora.

"Minister Odagiri..."

“I know, you don’t need to persuade me, advisor.”

Toshiro Odagiri sat there with a somber expression.

Seeing his reckless attitude, Lin Jiashu said nothing more.

The atmosphere within the task force remained heavy.

however,

Soon after, however, came a shocking message:

"Minister! Thomas Sindora is dead!"

"Varied……?!"

Upon hearing this notification, many officers in the task force instinctively stood up.

"He was found with a gunshot wound to the forehead, suspected to be a homicide! But only his fingerprints were found on the gun left at the scene..."

Listening to the police officer's report, Toshiro Odagiri even seemed somewhat dazed.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

It was already late at night when Hayashi Yoshiki left the Metropolitan Police Department.

This means he has successfully resolved a matter.

Thomas Sindora's death was something the police could never have foreseen.

In their imagination, this foreign company chairman, whose blood flowed with the blood of a crazed killer, had been using artificial intelligence to commit crimes. It would be extremely difficult to find evidence against such a cunning and cruel person and convict him... But when the police came to his door, they found him lying in a pool of blood, his body already stiff.

The trail of the unexpected killer, which they had finally managed to find, was completely cut off, leaving the members of the task force at a loss.

"Yoshiki-kun, you've worked so hard~~"

A warm embrace greeted him.

On the sofa, Yoko Okino gently hugged Yoshiki Hayashi's head and buried his face in her chest.

She didn't know much about the special task force, but she knew that Lin Jiashu had been helping the police work so late, so she couldn't help but want to comfort him.

"Ah, things should be settled now."

Lin Jiashu said with a calm smile.

The case of the accidental killer will be temporarily put to rest with the death of Thomas Cindora—until the task force discovers another accidental death, at which point the police's attention will be focused on the missing "Noah's Ark".

Lin Jiashu didn't need to do anything dramatic or unpredictable regarding Thomas Cindora's death.

All he needs to do is make the police suspicious of the other party and deepen their speculation that "the accidents were caused by artificial intelligence"... Once such a preconceived notion is formed in their minds, it will not be so easy to overturn this inference later.

"That's great, now Yoshiki-kun can get some rest."

With a bright smile, Yoko Okino gently massaged Yoshiki Hayashi's temples.

Her eyes were filled with pity for his hard work all day.

"Thank you, Yoko."

"Well, you need to get enough rest to be energetic. Is there anything you'd like to eat, Yoshiki-kun?"

"If Yoko is having a late-night snack at this hour, doesn't she need to consider her figure?"

"It's just one night, it's okay."

"...Hmm, then we need to pay more attention to exercising after meals."

Upon hearing this, Yoko Okino's face flushed red.

She pursed her lips, met the smiling eyes of Hayashi Yoshiki in her arms, and couldn't help but blush: "Yoshiki-kun must be saying something strange."

"Of course."

"..."

"Yoko gave me so much energy, it was really hard for me to resist."

As Lin Jiashu spoke, the hands that were wrapped around her lower back began to slide down lightly.

Yoko Okino's heart started pounding.

She obediently acquiesced.

Lin Jiashu suddenly stopped and said with a smile, "However, let's have some late-night snacks first."

"..."

Yoko Okino immediately pouted, "Yoshiki-kun, really!"

Chapter 288: Ai, the Ticklish Girl

"In response to the serious incident that occurred in Beika Town on the evening of October 13, the police have successfully arrested a total of 7 suspects through their persistent tracking and arrest efforts."

"According to the police, this was a crazy operation launched by two hostile terrorist organizations during the conflict."

"At the time of the incident, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, together with the Self-Defense Forces, rushed to the scene to suppress the attack. Among the suspects killed at the scene were professional killers and robbers who were wanted internationally."

"Those affected by this incident..."

"..."

The Metropolitan Police Department stated that it will hold another press conference at 19:00 PM tonight.

"More details will be revealed at that time, and we have stated that we will definitely give the public a satisfactory explanation."

Open any news program, and it will report on the events of that night.

Lin Jiashu only glanced at it briefly before ignoring it.

He then looked at the little girl sitting in front of him and asked with a serious expression, "Were you involved in what happened that night?"

No.

"Then why didn't you answer my calls back then?"

"I left my phone in the car and then I went on my date."

Lin Jiashu said with a smile.

However, Ai Haibara's expression twisted.

She looked somewhat agitated and angry, her eyes even turning fierce: "Liar."

"..."

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? You can't even come up with an excuse like forgetting your phone."

"But I'm serious."

Yoshiki Hayashi was at Tokyo Tower at the time, and he did not bring his cell phone with him.

Because if he brought it along, it would be terrible if Noah's Ark accidentally identified him through his IP address... When he got back, Lin Jiashu turned on his phone and found that Haibara Ai had called him more than a dozen times that night.

It was precisely because of this incident that Lin Jiashu arranged to meet the other party this morning.

Ai Haibara glared at him angrily.

It wasn't difficult for her to deduce from the news in Beika Town that evening that it was an organized operation based on the available information. Judging from the scale at the time, her first thought was whether Junto would also be involved.

"..."

But seeing his calm and composed demeanor as he faced her, Ai Haibara suddenly felt discouraged.

She no longer had that angry expression, but instead lowered her head somewhat sullenly.

"what happened?"

"Anyway, there's nothing I can do to help you."

As she spoke, she lowered her hair to cover her eyes, her voice low and seemingly filled with self-loathing: "I use the excuse of worrying about you to do nothing, which is completely meaningless and makes me seem like I'm being unreasonable... But I just... don't want you to be in danger."

Seeing this, Lin Jiashu reached out his hand to her.

here we go again……

Whenever this happens, he either reaches out to touch his head or manually raises the corners of his mouth... Does he really think this trick works that well?

Faced with the fact that Kundo always does things that could endanger her life without her knowledge, and that she can do nothing about it, Ai Haibara is filled with anxiety and frustration. She is determined that no matter what Kundo does this time, she will not let him lead her by the nose, until—

What are you doing!

Ai Haibara instinctively shrank to the side when he suddenly poked her side.

Upon seeing her reaction, Lin Jiashu's face lit up with a hint of pleasure: "So you really are ticklish."

"..."

"Because of your 'I can't be easily coaxed no matter what you say' attitude, I was thinking that it might be easier to force you to laugh this way."

Lin Jiashu then took action.

He reached his hands to Ai Haibara's sides and began to tickle her.

Even before he spoke, Ai Haibara tensed up and tried to dodge, but with her petite size and reflexes, she couldn't escape. When Yoshiki Hayashi placed his hand on her side and started scratching, the tingling itch made her goosebumps and she screamed and began to struggle.

"Stop! Stop Jundu!"

"Wait... Ouch! Haha, stop scratching! Stop scratching!"

Stop

At this moment, she couldn't care less about being serious. She twisted her upper body and kicked her legs wildly, desperately trying to break free from Lin Jiashu's movements.

She struggled and thrashed about like a cat that didn't recognize anyone.

"Hahaha, no, please... let me go, hahaha!"

Lin Jiashu scratched her waist with his fingers until she struggled so hard she almost sat down on the ground, and her side abdomen started to hurt a little before he finally let go of her.

"..."

When she was released, Ai Haibara, who was sitting on the ground, was already out of breath. Her face was flushed red and her hair was a mess.

Once she calmed down, she glared at Lin Jiashu.

"He looks much more energetic now."

Lin Jiashu smiled.

"...You bastard!"

"Your hair is all messed up."

With his palm supporting her chin, Lin Jiashu smiled and reached out to smooth her hair.

"Who do you think did this?"

Ai Haibara looked at him, but her tone only carried a subtle hint of dissatisfaction.

Lin Jiashu helped her fix her hair.

"As expected... the smile I forced you to show is nowhere near as beautiful as your natural smile."
