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

She certainly didn't care about the two robbers with pistols, but the problem was Yukiko's son.

Jundu, this guy, actually does things like taking care of kids?

Vermouth found it hard to understand, yet she couldn't help but find things interesting—she was very interested in Lin Jiashu's information and knew that he hadn't received much training as a low-level member. Although he was highly capable, he lacked the ability and experience for direct combat... Faced with this kind of sudden event, he was probably helpless now, right?

Later, after hearing Shuichi Akai say that he didn't have his phone, the robber simply remarked that the other man was a penniless wretch and then let him go.

Upon learning that the old man next to him was only wearing a hearing aid, he then looked at the woman who was chewing gum and, as she mumbled incoherently, fired a shot next to her as a deterrent.

The robbers then returned to the front of the car.

Along the way, there were incidents where Judy deliberately tripped the robber, and Conan secretly took out his earring-shaped mobile phone to call the police, but the robber discovered it.

Lin Jiashu remained quiet throughout.

Time flies...

Of the four-man robbery gang, only Kunio Yajima, who has been captured, has his appearance and name known. His three accomplices are still well hidden.

The two robbers in the front of the car had their faces completely covered, so their names were unknown... and the woman chewing gum in the back was also completely unknown to Lin Jiashu.

Lin Jiashu would not risk his life under such circumstances.

Now all we have to do is wait.

Once the "signal" he's been waiting for appears, he can be completely at ease.

The bus was traveling around the city at that time.

Upon receiving the report, the police immediately launched an operation, sending plainclothes officers to secretly follow the car as ordinary drivers and observe it from a high vantage point using binoculars.

They quickly realized from the bus's route that the hijackers were driving around the city, and learned that the guns the hijackers carried were indeed genuine. In order to ensure the safety of the hostages on the bus, they had no choice but to comply with the hijackers' demands.

The news quickly spread to the bus.

"Really? They've decided to release him? Heh... I was going to kill the hostage if we didn't hear anything in another ten minutes, but since that's the case, let's just leave it at that."

The robber's smug voice came from the front of the car, "Tell them to tell Yajima that he'll contact us an hour after he's released. Once we confirm with him that he's really escaped to a safe place, we'll release the three passengers on the bus as a gesture of goodwill."

Listening to the robbers talking ahead, Lin Jiashu glanced at the time again.

15:19

That's already very fast.

At that moment, Lin Jiashu's hand was suddenly grasped.

He looked down and saw that Ai Haibara was still looking down, but she reached out and grabbed Yoshiki Hayashi's hand.

She gripped it very tightly.

The pressure that was pressing down on her at that moment, as if it were a tangible force, made her feel depressed and extremely pessimistic.

The people from the organization suddenly got so close...

Could it be that they've already discovered that Cointreau saved Hiroki Sawada, or even himself?

Could these two robbers be part of the organization's plan?

In that instant, she thought of many things.

I felt like I could hardly breathe.

Chapter 293: Manipulation of the Cause of Death

After being released by the police, Kunio Yajima immediately found a car and drove into the city.

He had already heard the details from the police.

His accomplices were far more capable than he had imagined, actually forcing the police to release him through this method... Although excited, Kunio Yajima also knew that they were mainly after the jewelry he had hidden; otherwise, they would not have taken such a big risk to rescue him.

After entering the city by car, Kunio Yajima frequently looked around.

He knew the police were definitely following him secretly, and it would be quite troublesome for him to shake them off within an hour.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this day before stealing the jewelry and had prepared an escape route in advance.

But before that...

As Kunio Yajima passed by a public phone booth, he saw a man coming out of it, and without thinking, he walked into the phone booth.

Inside the phone booth were the paper and pen left behind by the previous man, along with a windproof lighter.

Kunio Yajima inexplicably started writing the names of his companions in the blank spaces marked on the paper, and then picked up the lighter and started burning the paper.

The paper coated with fire-retardant paint did not burn immediately, but under the high temperature, the characters gradually appeared on the white parts of the paper.

Kunio Yajima paid no attention, and continued to light the paper until the page burned and turned to ash.

And the dust was carried away by the wind when he finished his call and left the phone booth.

Just a short distance away, directly opposite the phone booth, on a tall building.

A slender figure was holding a sniper rifle, watching Kunio Yajima's movements through the scope. When she saw that he did not do anything unusual, she gradually lowered her gun.

At this moment, the hijacked bus was heading towards Takaido.

The speed is approximately 50 kilometers per hour.

Lin Jiashu kept an eye on the time on his watch.

There are three seconds left until 16:04.

three.

two.

One!

"Ouch"

As the robbers, who had turned the car around, walked towards them, they suddenly tripped over their own feet and fell down in a rather embarrassing manner.

His commotion startled his companion, who thought some fool had dared to launch a sneak attack, and immediately raised his gun to scan the passengers.

"It's nothing, I just tripped and fell."

"You be careful too, you scared me."

The robbers were talking.

This incident seemed like a trivial little episode, but Lin Jiashu knew that he was now completely safe.

The Death Note can manipulate the behavior of those whose names are written in it before their death, even controlling what they say.

【Kunio Yajima】

Cause of death: Asphyxiation

[On the afternoon of December 17th, after being released by the police, she took a taxi to the Ueno Bookstore in Hachichome, Koki Ward, Beikacho, and got off at 3:57:32 PM. She immediately entered the bookstore after the man in sunglasses left the public phone booth in front of the store.]

[After finding a white piece of paper, a pen, and a lighter left by other users in the phone booth, he wrote down the names of his accomplices who had committed the jewelry theft with him and helped him get out of prison in the white spaces circled on the paper.]

[Fill in the first two blanks with the name of your male companion, and the last blank with the name of your female companion.]

After writing your name, wait ten seconds, then use a lighter to evenly heat the entire surface of the paper until complete writing appears. Finally, ignite the paper completely until it turns to ash.

After doing the above, make a few random phone calls before leaving the public phone booth, making sure the ashes on the paper are completely irreparable before leaving.

[Then proceed according to your original plan.]

[Died of asphyxiation on January 13th.]

【Fumimura Kazuma】

Cause of death: Fall.

【12月17号下午15：55，将拿到的纸与笔与打火机，完好无损地放在米花町耕木区八丁目上野书店前的公共电话亭里，并在15：57分28秒离开电话亭】

At 1:47 AM on December 23rd, after becoming intoxicated, he impulsively climbed a high-rise building and accidentally fell to his death from the rooftop.

-

Recalling what he had written, Lin Jiashu showed no emotion on his face.

He waited silently.

The passengers inside the train waited in silence, almost everyone was very nervous.

At this moment, the robbers suddenly made a new move.

They carefully picked up their ski kits that they had brought with them when they got on the bus, and one of them carried them to the back of the bus and placed them side by side in the aisle.

Vermouth's eyes narrowed slightly.

From the way the two bags were placed, she immediately realized that they contained bombs—these robbers planned to send the passengers and the entire bus into the air after they achieved their goal.

Conan also realized this.

Unable to believe it, he jumped off his seat, taking advantage of his child-sized frame, to secretly check if it was a bomb. However, his actions were spotted by the woman chewing bubble gum in the back seat.

With her silent reminder, the robbers in the front of the car immediately turned around and noticed Conan's actions.

"It's you again, you brat!"

The robber instantly flew into a rage. He pulled out his gun, disengaged the safety, and strode over menacingly: "Since you're tired of living, I'll just send you to your death!"

Since all the passengers on this bus are going to be killed by bombs anyway, he feels no remorse for killing a child here.

The dark muzzle of the gun pointed at Conan made the hearts of the passengers in the car clench.

Ayumi and the others almost screamed.

Judy's expression hardened, Vermouth felt a surge of anxiety, and just as she was about to pop her head out, a hand suddenly pulled Conan away.

"Have you guys had enough?!"

Lin Jiashu turned his back to shield Conan, then turned to look at the robber: "We've already cooperated so much, he's just a naughty kid! There's really no need to go this far, is there?!"

"Oh? Since you're so brave, then I'll kill you too."

The robber grinned and pointed a gun at Lin Jiashu's head.

"Brother Jiashu..."

"Brother Jiashu!"

Several children almost jumped up.

Even the trembling Ai Haibara forgot the fear Vermouth had instilled in her for a moment. Her eyes widened as she stared at the scene with even greater terror, instinctively reaching out to him.

Lin Jiashu showed no fear on his face.

He looked at the robber with a stern face and said firmly, "Killing me is fine, but at least let this child go."

"..."

At that moment, Conan, who was being protected by Hayashi Yoshiki, looked at him with trembling eyes.

Seeing Lin Jiashu's tense yet unwavering demeanor, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Vermouth couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and said, "That's right, you've already met your requirements, haven't you?! You shouldn't be causing any more trouble now! Besides, if something happens to the passengers, it might affect your plans!"

Upon hearing this, the robber paused for a moment.

At this moment, his companion came over and said, "Okay, stop. It would be terrible if the gun went off accidentally and hit that person."

With that excuse, the armed robber sneered, "You'd better not let me find out you're up to any more tricks!"

He quickly turned around and went back to the front of the car.

Hayashi Yoshiki patted Conan on the head and returned to his seat.

He glanced at the time on his watch again.

almost.
