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

"So, does that mean I won't be so polite with you when we get back?"

Lin Jiashu looked at the two of them with a smile.

Ran and Sonoko were actually quite happy.

Ai Haibara watched this scene quietly. Yoshiki Hayashi noticed her gaze, but seemed unsure of what it meant and made a soft "hmm?" sound. However, Ai Haibara turned her head away.

Afterwards, Iwanaga Shiro led the group away from the hotel and got into his car to head to the inn.

"There are a lot of treasure hunters on this island now, and some of them look a bit dangerous, but Mr. Mori and Mr. Hayashi, you just don't need to pay them any attention or make contact with them."

"The fact that so many treasure hunters are attracted here means that there really is treasure here, right?"

"Yes, after all, that underwater palace doesn't look fake."

As the head of the local tourism department, Iwanaga Shiroji also seemed pleased with the new attractions appearing on the island.

His van was speeding through the roundabout.

Looking out, there is a shimmering sea, and a little further away, there is a small island: "Look, there is a very small uninhabited island over there, that is Laiqin Island. About two hundred meters east of there, there is a structure made of huge rocks that looks like a building... In fact, scholars came to investigate ten years ago, but whether it is a man-made palace or a masterpiece of nature is still inconclusive until two weeks ago when someone discovered something very valuable there."

Yoshiki Hayashi then recalled the two robbers he and Tooru Amuro had intercepted a few nights ago.

Before they fell into a coma, they also uttered the name of the island of Shinto.

Chapter 333: Yoshiki-san isn't wearing any clothes!? (Part 2)

The main selling points of Shenhai Island are its seaside scenery and diving programs.

However, since the treasures of the underwater ruins have attracted many treasure hunters, the tourism department has put effort into adding projects such as treasure hunt games.

"Mr. Lin, would you like to join the children in a treasure hunt? I promise it will be a lot of fun."

After making arrangements for everyone, Iwanaga Shiro looked at Hayashi Yoshiki.

"Let's take a look later."

Lin Jiashu did not refuse directly, but just smiled and said, "It's a rare opportunity to come to the seaside, so I want to relax first."

"Ah, you're right!"

Iwanaga Shiro seemed quite pleased that he hadn't been directly rejected.

He very proactively arranged for a car to take Yoshiki Hayashi and the two girls to go scuba diving. Conan wanted to go too, but was stopped by Genta Kojima and the others as soon as he took a step.

"no!"

"We are the Junior Detective Club, so of course we have to work together to find treasure."

"That's right, Conan, don't even think about sneaking away."

Still somewhat unwilling to give up, Conan struggled to reach Ran for help: "Ran-neechan, I want to go diving too!"

Xiao Lan bent her knees slightly and leaned forward, revealing a gentle smile.

"But you see how eager everyone is to go treasure hunting. Without Conan, Genta and the others won't have much fun... So, Conan, how about you wait until after the treasure hunt to go diving?"

Having said that much, Conan had no choice but to stop pressing the issue.

Sonoko chuckled to herself and gave Hayashi Yoshiki a "V" sign—one less burden to carry.

As for Professor Agasa and Kogoro Mouri, one said he wanted to rest, while the other wanted to find a place with a beautiful female proprietress for drinks.

"Has Yoshiki-san ever been diving before?"

Yes, there is.

"It feels like Yoshiki-san has experienced everything... including the skydiving last time."

"That's because I have a lot of free time."

Lin Jiashu smiled.

He did go scuba diving a few times before crossing the trek, and in terms of experience, it was much better than skydiving.

Soon after, Iwanaga Shiro took the three of them to a snorkeling shop on the island called "Blue Hole," where they were greeted by a dark-skinned woman named Yamaguchi Kimiko.

"I'm your diving instructor. For the three of you, is this style of wetsuit suitable?"

She smiled and took out several diving suits.

Just then, three burly men emerged from the back of the shop. Their skin was also tanned dark, and each of them carried several gas cylinders as they walked out of the shop.

Upon seeing them, Yamaguchi Kimiko's expression turned cold: "You lot, you'd better clean up after you're done."

"Don't worry, we'll come again."

The man in the lead said something jokingly and then pushed open the door and left.

Lin Jiashu habitually memorized their faces, then asked with a smile, "Are they treasure hunters too?"

“That’s right, the island is full of guys like that lately.”

"Are we going to go diving with them later?" Sonoko couldn't help but ask.

"No, no, don't worry, they're just here to borrow the store's air compressor."

Kimiko Yamaguchi explained.

Diving cylinders contain compressed air, so they need to be filled using a specialized air compressor.

"Recently, these people have been coming to borrow the air compressor a lot, which has put us in a difficult position."

Store manager Mabuchi Chika walked over.

"It seems that the silver cutlery set that was discovered earlier was quite expensive."

"Yes, mainly because there are rumors that Anne, who escaped from prison, hid the treasure on this island."

"Who is Annie?"

"Here."

In response to Xiaolan's question, store manager Ma Yuanqian pointed to the poster on the wall.

The poster features two women dressed as pirates.

"270 years ago, it is said that the underwater palace next to the island of God was still above the water. The evidence is a type of scimitar and flintlock gun called Carteras that was found in the underwater palace. Judging from the first letters engraved on the scimitar and gun, the owners should be two female pirates, Anne Bonny and Mary Reed, who were active around 1730."

She was a rare female pirate in history.

According to some records that Lin Jiashu had read before his time travel, the two female pirates were captured by the British army and sentenced to death by hanging as pirates, but they escaped execution because they were both pregnant.

Mary Reed died of fever in prison before her child was born, while Anne Bonny escaped and made the Pacific Ocean her base of operations—and there have been rumors ever since that there is treasure left behind by them 300 years ago in the Pacific Ocean.

And the island of Kami-no-Island... or rather, Japan is indeed located in the Pacific Ocean.

After listening to the precautions, the three followed the shopkeeper to the beach and then boarded a yacht to the snorkeling spot.

"Be careful not to wander off on your own later."

While equipping them with snorkeling gear, Lin Jiashu took the opportunity to give the two some instructions.

"No way, I'm not a child." "Exactly!"

"But you two are indeed still minors."

Lin Jiashu smiled.

Xiao Lan smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Burdened by the two adults and one child in her family, she often has to take on the responsibility of caring for them, but she actually quite likes being taken care of like a younger sister by Lin Jiashu.

She's only 16 years old after all, and sometimes she wants to act cute but is too shy to do so.

Coach Kimiko Yamaguchi then led the three of them into the water.

Although the temperature is very high in the middle of summer, the first feeling when you go into the water is still cold.

However, the chill was quickly dispelled by the scenery of the sea.

In the clear, bright blue sea, when the sea surface becomes the sky overhead, the scene of countless schools of fish swimming in all directions is truly stunning.

Kimiko Yamaguchi led the three to the underwater palace.

At a depth of more than 20 meters below the surface of the sea, there stood a well-preserved building that was unlikely to be formed naturally. Its shape was somewhat like a flat-topped pyramid. However, before the group could get closer to take a closer look, a shark suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

Lin Jiashu immediately reached out to stop Xiaolan and the others.

The appearance of the shark made the two girls nervous, but fortunately, it had no interest in the creatures around and instead swam quickly downstream following the scent of blood in the water.

At this very moment, a little distance below Lin Jiashu and his group, the three treasure hunters they had just encountered in the shop were being attacked by sharks.

One of them appeared to have been bitten on the side by a shark, and a large amount of blood flowed out, staining the seawater around him red. He also lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, his companion beside him was nervously dealing with the relentless attacks of sharks. Realizing that the situation was becoming increasingly dangerous, they exchanged glances and quickly pulled their unconscious companion up, using the propeller to propel them rapidly to the surface.

"..."

Kimiko Yamaguchi quickly tugged at the others, signaling them to stop swimming, and swam to the surface before the sharks were still roaming around.

When the four of them hurriedly surfaced, the shop manager, Ma Yuanqianxia, ​​was somewhat surprised: "How did you get up here so quickly?"

"A shark has attacked people!"

"What!?"

Shark attacks on people are always rare occurrences, but upon hearing this, Chinatsu Mabuchi did not hesitate.

After Lin Jiashu and the others boarded the yacht, she quickly pulled up the three treasure hunters who had surfaced, and drove the yacht quickly towards the port, and immediately reported the incident to the police.

The wounded were taken to the island's hospital.

"This is a headache. It's been so many years since something like this has happened on the island."

The police officer from Shenhai Island who rushed to the scene was a bald old man. After learning about the situation, his expression became troubled.

Lin Jiashu then took two bottles of iced drinks and pressed them onto Sonoko's and Ran's cheeks respectively.

The biting cold startled them.

"Wow!?" "Brother Jiashu?"

"Judging from your serious expressions, how are you feeling? You weren't traumatized, were you?"

Lin Jiashu spoke in a gentle tone.

"I was a little startled..." Xiaolan said somewhat vaguely.

"Yeah, I never expected to encounter a shark biting me while diving."

"Don't worry too much, I think it's just a premeditated murder."

When Lin Jiashu said this, Yamaguchi Kimiko, who was standing next to him, was stunned.

Was it a premeditated murder?

Isn't this far more terrifying than a shark attack?

"I checked it before I went to buy a drink."

As Lin Jiashu spoke, he looked at the two treasure hunters waiting on the side.

Both of them wore anxious and tense expressions, their eyes frequently glancing towards the operating room at the end of the corridor, where the red light was on.

"The man who was attacked by the shark had a plastic bag filled with blood hidden in his wetsuit... Judging from the fishy smell, it was probably fish blood."

"Fish blood?" Ma Yuanqian was taken aback. "So the sharks are attracted by that blood?"

"I guess so. After all, the pressure increases by one atmosphere every ten meters underwater. They were probably at a depth of thirty or forty meters right now... The plastic bag would be easily squeezed open under that water pressure, and sharks have the sense of smell to detect blood diluted millions of times underwater. That's why, even though there were three of them, the shark only targeted the injured person."

"...Was it really a premeditated murder?"

The woman murmured.

At that moment, the red light in the operating room went out, and the doctor who came out looked regretful: "I'm sorry, we did our best, but he lost too much blood. Please accept my condolences."

The two treasure hunters' faces immediately turned extremely ugly.

However, these are none of Lin Jiashu's business.

Lin Jiashu glanced at it and then looked at Ma Yuan Chinatsu, asking, "Ms. Chinatsu, could you take us back to the shop now? It's quite uncomfortable to have our wetsuits completely dry after coming out of the sea."

"Okay, I'll take you back to the store now."

Mabuchi Chinatsu nodded and quickly drove them back to the store.

There are two shower rooms in the store.
