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

Seeing Vermouth's clenched teeth, Lin Jiashu smiled and shook the gun in his hand.

"You didn't go to that party!?"

"Ah, after all, as long as I put on makeup to cover my face, disguise my body shape, and tell others that it was me participating, no one will suspect anything... It's not difficult at all."

"Why……?"

Vermouth stared at him through gritted teeth, utterly bewildered.

Why is he here? Why is he impersonating Gin and putting on this act?

The sniper on the dock also seems shrouded in mystery now.

At this moment, her mind was filled with doubts, but the most important thing was what Jundu's purpose was—

"why?"

"That's exactly the question that came to my mind when you specifically asked Gin to deliver the invitation to me—why?"

"What's so special about a weird Halloween party that makes you go to all this trouble to invite me?"

“Until a few days ago, Gin sent me a mission to investigate Shinichi Kudo. Coincidentally, you contacted me not long after that day and brought me information on APTX4869 and the file on Shinichi Kudo’s death by overdose. You have become very, very active around the disappearing Shinichi Kudo, which made me wary. I wondered if your invitation to that party was a diversionary tactic.”

"Hmm... it feels a bit strange to say I'm a tiger."

Lin Jiashu said with a hearty smile.

However, he was holding a gun that was shrouded in smoke, and the muzzle was pointed blatantly at Vermouth.

Vermouth stared at him in utter disbelief: "Just for this reason...?"

"of course not."

Lin Jiashu stopped smiling.

Those dark eyes stared straight at her: "That day at the bar, you disguised yourself as Aunt Eri and called me 'Little Tree,' right?"

"..."

"That's strange. You actually know what she calls me in private. Doesn't that also prove that the investigation you're conducting on me is a bit abnormal?"

"It can't be because I'm interested in your abilities, or because of Rum's—"

"Of course I've considered that too," Lin Jiashu interrupted her.

"..."

"Fortunately, you sent an invitation to Shinichi Kudo, which made us realize that you had discovered his identity."

"..."

"So I'll venture a guess that you already discovered that Conan Edogawa is actually Shinichi Kudo, and therefore conducted an extremely detailed investigation into me, a fellow member of the organization, who appeared in his life, to confirm whether I posed any danger."

As Lin Jiashu said this, he noticed a subtle change in Vermouth's expression: "So I did a test today. When the infrared aiming point of the sniper rifle landed on Conan-kun, your reaction was quite interesting."

"Even just now, when I pretended to kill him, your body was tense... So, why is that?"

Why are you so concerned about his safety?

Vermouth had nothing to say.

It has been completely figured out.

This man had made ample preparations before appearing before her.

If I hadn't instinctively tried to protect this kid when an unexpected sniper was aiming at him at the dock, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape here, and Jundo wouldn't have appeared in front of me... Even so, he still disguised himself as Gin to test me once.

Vermouth couldn't help but feel relieved that he hadn't realized he actually wanted to protect Ran more.

No, actually it probably wouldn't matter even if Cointreau found out.

But she still forced a cold smile:

"I never thought Gin could misjudge someone. The person he thought so highly of you turned out to be a traitor!"

"Each each other."

Having grasped the situation, Jundu was clearly in a good mood. He looked at Vermouth and said with a smile, "You discovered their secret but have been slow to report it. What is your stance? Let's have an honest talk."

Vermouth hesitated.

At this moment, Lin Jiashu looked at Conan with a smile: "Alright, stop pretending to be asleep, Conan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Conan opened his eyes.

His expression subtly showed displeasure: "You rascal, you actually did so many unplanned things."

"So you were actually awake?"

Lin Jiashu looked at him in great surprise, then took out a towel with a sleeping potion on it and said with a smile, "Then please continue to sleep."

"What are you doing if it's not Hayashi Yoshiki?!"

The next second, Conan, whose mouth and nose were covered, fell asleep again.

"There are some things that are not suitable for him to know."

After confirming that Conan had fallen into a deep sleep, Yoshiki Hayashi said with a smile.

Watching the interaction between the two, Vermouth suddenly felt like laughing.

Cointreau is a traitor to the organization, but a "good guy".

Confirming this was good news for her as well.

However, there seems to be more mystery surrounding him—what is his connection with another organization that also pursues immortality?

"Let's talk, and I'll choose what action to take based on your answer."

"Are you so sure you've got me figured out?"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be here in front of you."

Lin Jiashu said with a light laugh.

As he spoke, he casually raised his right index finger, on which a ring was worn.

Vermouth paused for a moment.

She gradually began to feel relaxed.

From the fact that she intentionally protected Conan Edogawa, whom she considered the "silver bullet," in the original work, it's clear that she might be happy to see the organization perish.

It didn't matter to her whether Cointreau was a traitor.

Now that their secrets have been exposed to each other, a foundation of trust has been laid.

"All I want is for everyone to live a happy and peaceful life without anyone getting hurt..."

"No one will get hurt? It's ironic to hear that from you."

Don't you believe me?

"Do not."

Vermouth just felt a bit sentimental.

"So tell me, don't even think about lying to me, after all..."

Lin Jiashu laughed as he spoke: "I will not allow any dangerous factors that may affect my stable life to exist."

Chapter 329: Speculations about Karasuma Renya

"Heiji Hattori!? Why do you insist on dressing up as Shinichi Kudo?"

"Ahaha... I'm sorry, but I haven't seen Kudo lately, and then there's this rumor that he's actually Kaito Kid, so if I disguise myself as him and try to solve the case, he might just appear in front of me."

The murders that occurred on the ghost ship were quickly solved.

The person who solves the case is Shinichi Kudo, who is dressed as a bandaged monster or an invisible man. However, when everyone is surprised by his appearance, Shinichi Kudo takes off his disguise and transforms into Heiji Hattori.

"You brat from Osaka!"

Feeling that everyone had been tricked, Kogoro Mouri immediately started cursing.

Hattori Heiji stood on the lookout tower of the mast with an awkward smile on his face.

Sonoko was also squinting at that side, then looked at her best friend and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other girl just had a calm smile on her face.

She tried to change the subject.

"But this time it was Hattori Heiji who solved the case first, while Yoshiki-kun seems to be quite quiet."

"Because I'm very curious."

Dressed as Ryuk, with a deliberately hunched back, "Hayashi Yoshiki" pointed at himself and grinned: "I overheard from the staff that Kudo-kun was also here, and I wanted to see if it was true, so I've been waiting for his deduction show."

"No wonder..."

"Brother Jiashu, don't keep hunching over like that, it'll make you feel uncomfortable."

"That's true to some extent."

Hearing Xiaolan's concerned voice, "Lin Jiashu" obediently straightened his back.

In short, the matter was over once the ghost ship returned to port and the police arrived and took over.

"Hayashi Yoshiki" drove the group back to the Mori Detective Agency.

Sonoko's driver was also waiting there.

After seeing them off, "Lin Jiashu" rolled down the window to say goodbye.

"Remember to get some rest, Uncle Mori, and Ran and Sonoko too."

"Okay, goodnight, Jiashu-ge."

Drive carefully.

"Take it easy, kid. Don't scare someone to death in the middle of the night."

"father!"

Listening to what they were saying, Lin Jiashu smiled and stepped on the gas and drove away.

But the white Mercedes-Benz E-W210 only drove around a few streets before finally stopping in front of an alley.

Lin Jiashu got into the car.

"I've noticed that you live a very stressful life. You always have to be polite and considerate of other people's feelings, no matter where you are."

Ryuk removed his mask, revealing Kaito Kuroba's face.

He was somewhat impressed.

Lin Jiashu took the opportunity to take a picture.

The flashing lights made him look bewildered.

What are you doing?

"Record the evidence that you drove a motor vehicle without a license."

"what!?"

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba's face immediately turned sour. "I take back what I just said. You're the worst guy ever!"

"Haha, but I also want to thank Kaito-kun for your help this time... If it weren't for you, things definitely wouldn't have been resolved so well." Lin Jiashu looked at him, and then added, "Thank you."

"..."

"how?"

"No, your sudden seriousness makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"But I only sighed in acknowledgment; I wasn't really that grateful to you."

Kaito Kuroba really wanted to give him the middle finger.

But I held back.

He quickly started the car again—a seventeen-year-old high school student is at the age when he is interested in cars, and Kuroba Kaito actually drove Hayashi Yoshiki's car to Ekoda City.

Lin Jiashu looked at the time on his phone and was in a good mood.

He was very satisfied with tonight's haul.

Or rather, Lin Jiashu's only target from the very beginning was Vermouth—in the entire organization, Vermouth was the most special one.
