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

"Wait a minute."

"W-What's wrong?"

"When a person squats down, their movements are restricted. Mr. Vodka, have you considered the scenario where opening a door reveals not a child, but a bomb that explodes the moment it's pulled?"

"……this?"

The vodka man felt a little numb.

He looked at his older brother and found that the other brother was also staring intently at the ground but had not made a move.

Gin was indeed on guard against this.

Firstly, "Itakura Taku" changed the trading time in the middle of the night and attempted to track them, which is undoubtedly the work of some people.

In this situation, to say that children ran into the station basement in the middle of the night? That's practically leading them toward opening the lockers.

The constant stream of assassins coming to his door, coupled with his near-death experience last time, has made Gin much more cautious.

If you fall into a trap here, it will be just as hilarious as Tequila dying in the toilet in the original story.

Lin Jiashu glanced at the time.

4:14

almost.

Just then, Gin's phone suddenly rang.

Ring ring ring—!!!

"Hey, it's me."

Conan, still huddled in the locker, stared intently at the locker door, forcing himself to slow his breathing as he listened to Gin and the voices on the other end of the phone.

"Lord Gin, we've suddenly lost contact with Sakimoto and the others!"

"When?"

"Less than a minute ago! They seem to have been sniped—!"

The conversation on the other end of the phone abruptly ended halfway through.

As the sound of his body and phone falling to the ground reached his ears, Gin hung up the phone with a grim expression.

We really got tricked!

"Big brother?"

"go!"

Gin no longer hesitated.

Upon hearing this, Vodka stood up, nodded to Lin Jiashu, and hurriedly followed his older brother.

Lin Jiashu smiled silently.

Conan, hiding in the safe, listened to the footsteps that seemed to be fading away, but was too wary to come out.

He endured the thin air.

After a long while, Conan finally mustered up his courage and, with a look of grim determination, opened the locker door.

Total darkness.

Gin, vodka... and Yoshiki Hayashi are all gone.

He immediately took out his phone and sent a text message to Professor Agasa.

On the other side, after Lin Jiashu and the others left the basement, Vodka spoke first:

"I'm going to get the car!"

He was indeed extremely loyal to Gin; after all, if he went out now, a sniper bullet might be pointed directly at his head.

However, after carefully running to the car and starting the engine, Vodka seemed to have encountered no danger.

The pitch-black night road was eerily silent.

Gin and Yoshiki Hayashi quickly got into the car.

According to Hayashi Yoshiki's observation, Gin was extremely vigilant. From the moment he approached the car until he got in, he was completely focused on his surroundings, and his muscles were tense, ready to move at any moment.

"Brother, nothing unusual."

"Leave here."

Gin gave the order directly.

Vodka quickly stepped on the gas and left Xianqiao Station.

As the car quickly entered the bustling city center and no one seemed to be following them or anything unusual, Gin's brow furrowed even more.

not right...

Why was there no follow-up action?

It's no wonder Gin didn't think much of it.

The enemy knew about their deal with Itakura Taku and used this information to lure them to Kenbashi Station... Based on this, Gin arranged for people to keep watch at suitable locations to observe the station entrances and exits, but these people were all shot dead by snipers within the same minute.

So, why is that?

The enemy went to such great lengths not just to kill a few low-ranking members of their organization, so what exactly is their purpose?

Gin frowned, deep in thought.

If they weren't here to kill him, then they were here to cover something up.

Could there be anything else in the locker?

The more Gin thought about it, the more something seemed off, and he suddenly blurted out, "Go back to the station we were at!"

"Ah, oh!"

Without saying a word, Vodka immediately turned around.

Knowing that his older brother was in a bad mood, Vodka slammed on the gas pedal, and the black sedan sped wildly through the streets before dawn.

However, just as they were approaching Hyunchyo Station, a loud "BOOM!!" suddenly rang out in the distance.

The violent explosion and the vibration felt inside the car made Gin's eyes turn completely gloomy.

When the vehicle arrived at the underground entrance of Xianqiao Station, a plume of black smoke could be seen gradually spreading from below.

"There really is a bomb?! And judging by its power—"

Vodka felt fortunate.

Gin's face was extremely grim.

Lin Jiashu, however, made a sarcastic remark: "If this station closes down because of the explosion after dawn, people in a hurry to get out will feel a bit sorry for them..."

"..."

"Although we made a wasted trip, at least we didn't encounter any danger."

He was all smiles.

Meanwhile, Conan had already reunited with Professor Agasa.

He crawled into Professor Agasa's room, pale-faced, and ran to him, panting heavily.

Tonight's experience was so terrible and absurd to him.

Why is Yoshiki a member of that organization?

He trembled violently.

"Shin-Shinichi, you just said that Mr. Lin... he's also a member of that organization, is that right?"

"He was with Gin and vodka!"

Dr. Agasa's face turned deathly pale instantly.

If this is a joke, it's absolutely the worst joke in the world!

At the same time, he also remembered something terrible.

"Ai, Ai went to Hayashi Yoshiki's house today!"

"We have to go back quickly, Doctor!"

"it is good!"

Dr. Agasa responded in a flustered manner.

Unfortunately, Professor Agasa's Beetle broke down on the way from Gunma Prefecture. They had just been brought here by chance by two jewelry thieves wanted by the police, and now they had no car and couldn't get a taxi at this time.

Chapter 308: The Script, How Interesting!

"Doctor, did you and Edogawa go out?"

"Where are you going out in the middle of the night?"

"I'll stay at Jiashu's place tonight, and he'll take me back tomorrow."

"Don't worry."

"Beep beep... Beep beep..."

2-22, Yoneka-cho

After returning to Professor Agasa's house with anxious expressions, the two immediately began searching for Ai Haibara's whereabouts.

However, it could not be found.

Finally, Professor Agasa heard Ai Haibara's voice in the recorded phone call on the landline.

"Ai..."

Dr. Agasa cried out, his face pale.

Although Ai Haibara has never called him "grandpa" or anything like that, Professor Agasa now considers her, who lives in his house, to be family.

"She won't be given anything by Lin Jiashu—"

"Don't worry, Doctor."

Although Conan was also unable to calm down, he still offered him a word of comfort.

“I wasn’t discovered. Lin Jiashu is unaware that his identity has been exposed. In other words, he will maintain his public image and won’t harm those around him…”

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

Although his mind was a complete mess, Conan was absolutely certain of this.

He walked to the sofa and sat down to think.

Yoshiki Hayashi... Cointreau, vodka, gin...

When he first saw Lin Jiashu with those two people last night, the shock and fear he felt were amplified in that suffocating environment.

But now that I've calmed down and thought about it for a bit, I feel that Lin Jiashu's identity is full of doubts.

Could he really be a member of that organization?

Or rather, are they truly loyal to that organization?

Putting aside his usual actions, his act of risking his life to save Xiaolan in that dangerous situation on the Twin Towers skyscraper couldn't be fake, nor could his act of protecting himself and facing the gun on the hijacked bus that day be fake...

He knew that his body had shrunk because of the poison Gin had given him, and he also knew about Haibara's situation... As a member of that organization, he probably knew that the other party was Shiho Miyano, whom the organization had been searching for, but he had not made a sound until now.

Even the incident that happened at the Beika Hotel now seems suspicious in retrospect, with questions surrounding Yoshiki Hayashi's appearance.

From this perspective, the figure of Yoshiki Hayashi, which had become pitch black in Conan's eyes, gradually returned to white in part.

But there's only one thing that Conan can't forget: Yoshiki Hayashi's performance as Moriarty in "Cocoon," which didn't seem like acting, and the expression he had when he slashed off someone's hands and stabbed someone in the abdomen with a dagger at Gyokuryu-ji Temple in Kyoto a few days ago.
