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

The bomb was set to explode at 4:27 AM.

In addition, the bomb was designed to detonate immediately upon anyone opening the locker door.

Leave Hyeongyo Station immediately after planting the bomb.

[Died suddenly 23 days later]

The Death Note cannot cause the death of a third party other than the person whose name is written in it.

In other words, you cannot control the person whose name is written to drive a burning vehicle into a crowd and cause the death of others, nor can you control the person whose name is written to carry a bomb and detonate it in a crowd—any control that would cause the death of a third party will become ineffective immediately after being written down, and the person will die of cardiac arrest forty seconds after their name is written in the notebook.

This is a very interesting rule.

A mercury bomb is a very dangerous thing. If it is subjected to even a slight vibration that causes the mercury inside to shift, the bomb will be detonated immediately.

It just so happens that lockers are prone to vibration when opened, since they are a single unit, and most people wouldn't be particularly careful when opening them—especially given Gin's personality, he wouldn't be tiptoeing around opening lockers one by one when he's about to kill someone.

That's what makes it interesting.

If Gin opens the locker, the mercury column will not explode, causing the death of a third party. Shunta Kumyama will die of cardiac arrest forty seconds after his name is written on it.

However, the fact that Shunta Kumyama did not die of cardiac arrest but strictly followed the instructions written by Yoshiki Hayashi suggests that the absence of a third party's death would mean the mercury bomb would not explode and Gin would not open the locker.

As for why Conan didn't activate the bomb when he hid in the locker—in that environment, it was impossible for him to make a sound. He could only sneak in and sneak out, which made it impossible for him to activate the bomb.

The script is really interesting.

That Conan kid is probably questioning his existence right now.

Given the circumstances, Yoshiki Hayashi actually wanted to open the locker and scare Conan—but if the Death Note holder made that move and startled Conan, causing the locker to shake, it might cause Shunta Kumyama, who had already left, to suffer a cardiac arrest on the spot, and the mercury bomb in the locker to explode immediately.

Lin Jiashu wouldn't take that risk.

Moreover, Yoshiki Hayashi had other plans for scaring Conan.

"You're awake already? How did you sleep last night?"

Lifting his gaze from the contents of the paper, Yoshiki Hayashi smiled as he looked at Ai Haibara, who was rubbing her sleepy eyes as she walked out of the guest room.

"Good morning……"

Ai Haibara yawned, looking a bit like a cute little kitten.

After doing this, she seemed a little more awake: "You got up so early?"

"Hmm, I suddenly have trouble sleeping."

Lin Jiashu said with a smile.

Do you have insomnia?

Ai Haibara suddenly walked up to Yoshiki Hayashi and carefully examined him: "The wound seems to have faded quite a bit."

"It seems your medicine is very effective."

"Of course."

What do you want to eat for breakfast?

"Then McDonald's it is."

Ai Haibara said with an indifferent expression.

Lin Jiashu patted her head happily—actually, when they first came back, Vodka asked if they wanted to buy breakfast at McDonald's, but it was only a little past five o'clock and not yet McDonald's breakfast service time.

"Let's go then. Oh, by the way... can I ask you for a favor? If Professor Agasa or Conan call or call you later, don't answer them."

"And then like this..."

At first, Ai Haibara was a little lazy, but the more she listened, the more energetic she became.

Finally, she opened her eyes wide and stared blankly at Lin Jiashu.

The latter gave her a gentle smile: "Is it okay, Ai?"

Seeing this, Ai Haibara nodded.

"it is good."

Chapter 309: The Lin Jiashu you know never existed in the first place.

"Beep...beep...beep beep beep—"

The calls went unanswered.

It was already 10 a.m.

Conan had just called the Mouri Detective Agency to say he would be back later when he turned around and looked at Professor Agasa, who was standing in front of the landline looking anxious because he couldn't get through.

"No, Shinichi... I couldn't get through on the phone."

"Don't worry, Doctor."

Given Haibara's personality, it is indeed strange that she hasn't answered the phone, but given the current situation, Conan can only comfort Professor Agasa for now.

He frowned as he turned his head away.

Should I go directly to their door?

While Lin Jiashu is still unaware that he has been exposed, should we find an opportunity to test him?

But how should we probe?

Just as Conan was thinking this, the doorbell of Professor Agasa's house suddenly rang.

Dr. Agasa's expression immediately brightened.

"It must be Ai who's back."

He said this and quickly ran over to open the door.

When the door opened, the face that came into view startled Dr. Agasa.

Good morning, Professor Agasa.

"Mr. Lin?"

"What's wrong? You look a little flustered."

"N-no!"

Professor Agasa's voice unconsciously rose a little, and he scratched the back of his head with a smirk, his overreaction making him seem suspicious.

Conan walked over.

"Yoshiki-kun, where's Ai Haibara?"

"Won't you let me in and have a seat first?"

Hayashi Yoshiki did not answer directly. After Dr. Agasa belatedly realized and hurriedly made way for him, he went straight into the house.

Looking at his back, Conan felt something was suspicious.

He exchanged a glance with the nervous-looking Professor Agasa, and then they walked into the living room together.

"The fire-retardant coating that Dr. Agasa made for me was very useful. I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to properly thank you."

"It's nothing, just a little trinket..."

When Dr. Agasa looked at Yoshiki Hayashi's gentle smile again, he felt a chilling sense of dread.

Unlike Conan, he didn't think too much. Just hearing that Yoshiki Hayashi was a member of that organization already cast a shadow over his heart... He forced a calm smile and asked, "Speaking of which, Mr. Hayashi, didn't Ai go to your place last night?"

"That's right..."

Lin Jiashu smiled.

But at that moment, Conan's phone vibrated slightly in his pocket.

He picked it up and glanced at it.

Instantly, the information that came into view made Conan feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Run!"

Brief information.

And the sender was none other than Ai Haibara!

The brief message was so jarring to Conan's eyes. He looked up, his gaze filled with undisguised terror as he looked at Yoshiki Hayashi. Meanwhile, Professor Agasa, unaware of the situation, was still pressing for answers: "Ai, she—"

"PhD……"

Conan suddenly spoke up.

Professor Agasa was taken aback. He turned around and saw Conan looking at Yoshiki Hayashi with a grim expression, while the latter remained all smiles. He vaguely realized something.

Click

Just then, the sound of a door opening came from the entrance hall.

The door should have been locked, but when the slow sound of it opening came, a chill ran down Conan's spine and into his brain, forcing him to look over instinctively.

Just one glance,

His heart felt as if it were being squeezed tightly by a hand, and it almost stopped beating.

A tall man shrouded in darkness.

His dark green eyes held a coldness so intense it seemed to freeze the very air.

A deathly silence spread through the room.

Gin, having finally caught the mouse, revealed a sinister smile.

Let me say it one last time.

"Good morning."

"Conan, Professor Agasa."

"You are very interesting people."

"And then, goodbye forever."

As Gin's cruel gaze returned, Yoshiki Hayashi also revealed a very gentle expression.

He looked at the two people in front of him with pity and pleasure.

Only that look in his eyes,

There was no emotion in his eyes, only complete darkness.

When Gin pulled the gun out of his trench coat, Conan felt an unprecedented sense of resentment and anger.

He glared at Lin Jiashu with bloodshot eyes and shouted:

"Why?!"

"Why what?"

Hayashi Yoshiki seemed to find the question very interesting, "You mean why I came to kill you? That's not hard to understand, Conan... no, Shinichi-kun, it's because you discovered my identity."

"..."

“It’s a pity, but if our identities are discovered, we’ll have no choice but to kill you. Otherwise, if our identities are exposed…” Lin Jiashu chuckled wryly, “that would be very troublesome for me.”

"I'm asking you why you're part of that organization!?"

"Ah!"

However, the only response to Conan's roar was Gin's mocking sneer.

Lin Jiashu looked at the angry and resentful expression on Conan's face and smiled without saying a word.

After a while,

He finally answered with pity:

"Is it so hard for you to believe that I'm part of the organization? What a pity. It seems that my disguise all this time has misled you. But the Lin Jiashu you know never existed in the first place."

"..."

Lin Jiashu's words made Conan's anger momentarily falter.

Did the Hayashi Yoshiki I knew never exist in the first place?

Was that all along just a disguise?
