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

Vermouth took out a paper report, threw it on the table in front of Gin, and then picked up a hair tie to tie her hair up.

"It happened this afternoon on the Capital Expressway, on the section before the Xiaofo Tunnel... but I don't need to tell you, we should be able to see the report tomorrow."

“I’ve already said that your intelligence team doesn’t need to contact him.” Gin stared at her with a gloomy expression.

"Ha, I have no interest in associating with such a dangerous guy... I'm already unlucky enough to have run into him today."

Gin had no interest in her lies; he simply picked up the report and glanced at it.

Lin Jiashu was wrong at the time.

The hospital where he went for his medical check-up had no connection with the winery, but Vermouth was able to easily access his medical report using her disguise.

"Fortunately, the guy you're looking to be your successor is in pretty good health, but there's only one indicator that's a little worrying."

—High serum testosterone levels.

Even without Vermouth saying anything, Gin noticed it.

The report also included the diagnosis left by the doctor who performed the physical examination. After confirming that Lin Jiashu's indicators were relatively high but his personality was quite stable, the only influence seemed to be his strong libido.

That's utter nonsense!

Gin couldn't help but chuckle.

A guy like Cointreau wouldn't be swayed by a pointless urge to reproduce.

After all, this idiot next to him had invited Cointreau out to "play" several times, and even ignored Chianti's occasional flirting... This shows just how ridiculous this conclusion is.

No, not entirely...

Cointreau was a genius killer, and also mentally ill.

Sexual desire is often associated with sexual fetishes, but what if his sexual fetish is murder?

Gin gradually narrowed his eyes.

If Jundo's murderous tendencies, which he cannot suppress if his desires are not satisfied for a period of time, are combined with the high libido found on his medical report...

Thinking about it this way, Gin suddenly felt a headache coming on.

He had always thought that although Lin Jiashu was sick, he would be a perfect subordinate as long as his homicidal tendencies were satisfied—not only could he complete every task assigned to him perfectly, but he was also smart and could help some idiots when carrying out tasks.

Most importantly, he also possesses the ability to oversee the entire situation.

The results of today's examination suggest that his mental state seems to be quite poor.

"..."

When he almost died in that pharmaceutical factory, Gin did take Lin Jiashu's words to heart.

I might groom Cointreau as my future successor.

Just like that guy Rum, he cultivated a lot of confidants who occupied high positions in the organization, while he himself, although in charge of the action group, only had vodka by his side—if he were to die unexpectedly one day, vodka wouldn't be able to keep him afloat.

"But to be honest, you really can't tell from his appearance that Cointreau is a carnivore."

Vermouth lit a cigarette with a "ding" and said sarcastically, "I might even be a little interested."

"Ah……"

Gin gave a mocking smile.

What does he mean by that?

Vermouth couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

However, after learning about Jundu's situation, the first person she thought of was Xiaolan.

That guy is very good at charming women. If he suddenly decides to make a move on Xiaolan someday... Vermouth gets a headache just thinking about it.

However, Cointreau still owes me a favor.

How can we prevent him from harming Xiaolan?

"Yes, the situation is just as Inspector Megure reported. The deaths of those two robbers... have the same air of accidental murder."

"Just like Thomas Sindora back then."

"No, we can't even be sure that Thomas Sindora was the accidental killer."

"Perhaps someone else is hiding in the shadows and using Noah's Ark."

"But what concerns me even more is that the identities of the two robbers have not been revealed... Why did the culprit who orchestrated this incident choose to target them, and how did they find them?"

Late night

In a quaint room, Yoshiki Hayashi was on the phone with Toshiro Odagiri.

He spoke calmly to the person opposite him.

Astride him, Shimizu Reiko was trying to control her agitated emotions. Her slender hands wrapped around Hayashi Yoshiki's neck, and she carefully breathed hot air into him.

However, Lin Jiashu remained unmoved by her moist and charming eyes, and simply smiled and put his index finger to his lips to signal her to behave.

Shimizu Reiko immediately became obedient, not daring to make a sound.

"Okay, let's talk face to face then, Minister Odagiri."

"It's getting late."

"Please get some rest."

After a few more brief words, Lin Jiashu hung up the phone.

Shimizu Reiko waited until she was sure he had put down his phone before she happily and unrestrainedly clung to him.

She really deserves credit for hiding in the shadows today and keeping an eye on Kunio Yajima with a sniper rifle.

"You did a really great job today, Mr. Lin!"

"is it?"

"Yes, I was really excited when I came back... so please give me a reward."

Chapter 297: Conversations Between the Two Sides

One afternoon after the bus hijacking, in the apartment where Asagi Narumi lived.

"Stretch out your arm."

"it is good."

Hiroki Sawada, who was only four or five years old, stretched out his arm without much hesitation in front of Ai Haibara.

After disinfecting his arm with a cotton swab coated with iodine, Ai Haibara took the syringe and began drawing blood.

As a doctor, Ma Shengshi observed from the side and felt that the child's movements were so skilled that they were not something a real child could do.

However, by now, Asano Naomi has basically learned the truth.

"Okay, press the cotton ball against the blood drawing site."

"it is good……"

Hiroki Sawada nodded obediently, then looked at Ai Haibara, who was calmly injecting her blood into the test tube, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Where's Yoshiki-nii?"

"He went to the Metropolitan Police Department for a meeting early this morning."

"Could it be because of the bus hijacking that happened a few days ago?" Asagi asked. "It's all in the newspapers. The leader of those hijackers was released by the police and has now gone into hiding and his whereabouts are unknown."

"He must have other cases that require his attention."

Ai Haibara didn't know much either. She looked at Asami Narumi and Hiroki Sawada and said in a light tone, "But when he brought me here, he asked me to remind you to remember to have Hiroki change his name."

"Ah, don't worry about that. Actually, I plan to let this child take my surname, Aso."

Dr. Cheng Shi said with a smile.

Hiroki Sawada lowered his head slightly.

Since Yoshiki-nii brought Ai-chan here, why didn't he stop by and visit me on the way?

He was somewhat concerned about this matter.

Since Hayashi Yoshiki left last time, Sawada Hiroki still had many questions in his heart and wanted to see him again.

Ai only needed to glance at him to understand what he was thinking.

"He deliberately didn't come."

"Huh?"

“He is highly regarded in that organization, and you never know when someone might be watching his every move, so he won’t meet with you until you are sure it’s safe.”

Ai Haibara looked calmly at the little boy in front of her.

The other party was just a 10-year-old boy before swallowing APTX4869, and was also a "victim" of her own drug. Logically speaking, Ai Haibara would not be so heartless.

But when she thought about how the person Jundo risked so much to save looked at her with suspicion and wariness, Ai Haibara couldn't help but get angry.

But there are reasons why Hiroki Sawada would act this way.

What angered her was probably that Lin Jiashu always did these dangerous things without explanation...

Ai Haibara is still not entirely sure whether the people from the organization who appeared on that bus that day have discovered something.

"How could this be...?"

Hiroki Sawada felt somewhat distressed upon hearing this.

After a while,

He looked up and stared intently at Ai Haibara: "Can you tell me about that organization, and about Yoshiki-san?"

"why?"

Ai Haibara did not agree immediately because Hiroki Sawada was not mature enough, and sometimes knowing too much could bring danger to Yoshiki Hayashi.

"His idea is to make you forget all these things and live like a normal child from now on."

"...But maybe I can help Yoshiki-nii!"

Hiroki retorted loudly, "If we had the capabilities of Noah's Ark, we could uncover all the evidence of that organization's crimes and expose it, and even track their location and appearance in real time!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara's expression immediately changed.

If artificial intelligence can truly accomplish all of this as Hiroki Sawada claims, it would be extremely useful for Cointreau.

They can even break away from the organization and live entirely in the open!

Inside the Metropolitan Police Department's detective chief's office

Toshiro Odagiri and Yoshiki Hayashi sat facing each other, with two cups of tea steaming hot on the table between them.

"According to the instructions from above, the task force will be reduced to a very small size."

Toshiro Odagiri said, arms crossed.

"Understandable."

Lin Jiashu was not surprised by this result. "After all, based on the results we have so far, if the culprit who caused the accident really did all this using artificial intelligence, how are we supposed to catch a piece of program that exists on the Internet?"

"..."

Toshiro Odagiri fell silent.

After a moment, he couldn't help but speak:

"But ultimately, it is people who use tools, and people are prone to revealing flaws, just like Thomas Sindora did."

"Maybe."

“I’m sorry, advisor…we need to allocate police resources to areas where they are most needed right now.”

“I can understand that, Manager Odagiri.”

“It would be best if you could understand.” Odagiri Toshiro nodded, looking intently at Hayashi Yoshiki, and said, “But the task force has not been disbanded, so I still hope that you, the consultant, can stay and help us.”

"Minister Odagiri, what I didn't say in the meeting just now was... I suspect that the murderer has connections within the police force."
