Then my nose was pinched, and my mouth seemed to be stuffed with something.

Blocked...?

The moment Xiaolan realized this in her confusion, she uncontrollably snapped back to reality.

Through her blurry vision, she saw Lin Jiashu's face receding into the distance, and then a pair of hands pressed hard against her full breasts again... The somewhat shocking reality left her speechless. Fortunately, Sonoko, who had been watching her the whole time, noticed her waking up immediately: "Ran! Are you awake!? Jiashu-nii! Ran is awake!"

Lin Jiashu paused.

Just then, Xiaolan, who had regained her breathing, felt a lump in her throat and couldn't help coughing.

Lin Jiashu quickly helped her turn to the side and gently patted her back.

Sonoko immediately rushed over and called her name.

"The garden..."

Xiao Lan, who was helped to sit up, looked a little sluggish. She seemed a bit out of it, and all she could feel was the salty taste of seawater in her mouth and her lips feeling hot.

"It's all over now."

Lin Jiashu looked at her and said.

Only then did Xiaolan, who was sitting on the floor, feel the slight rocking of the ship beneath her, and the bright light outside the cabin, like the sunlight of the setting sun.

It's really all over now...

She realized it too late.

But then she heard Lin Jiashu's angry and cold voice: "Are you an idiot? How could you take the oxygen tank down and give it to me at a time like that?"

"..."

Xiaolan listened to her.

However, her expression, which had seemed a bit slow to catch on, suddenly broke into a smile.

Seeing this, Lin Jiashu seemed to lose his voice as well.

He said nothing more, but after asking Sonoko to take care of Ran, he got up and walked towards Izuyama Taro, who was lying there.

Lin Jiashu glanced at the time and squatted down in front of the other person.

Izuyama Taro's breathing stopped completely just seconds ago.

The blood that had stained his entire abdomen was washed away by the seawater, and now his skin was pale and bluish due to blood loss.

At that moment, Kogoro Mouri and his group arrived.

Outside the cabin, Iwanaga Shiro was anxiously calling for the boat. Seeing this, Hayashi Yoshiki went over, while Sonoko helped Ran follow behind.

"Xiao Lan!!"

Kogoro Mouri's loud voice came from the yacht opposite.

Upon seeing his daughter safe and sound, he was overwhelmed with emotion and shouted anxiously, "Xiaolan!!!! Are you alright!? Daddy's coming to save you right now!!"

Lin Jiashu smiled.

The outcome had been calculated long ago, but it was only after personally experiencing the constant collisions and lack of oxygen in the sea that Yoshiki Hayashi truly realized just how embarrassing it would be to focus solely on the result while ignoring the process.

Lin Jiashu glanced at Xiaolan.

He rushed into the cabin after the gas explosion, but the impact of the seawater and rocks almost capsized the entire ship, preventing him from getting an oxygen tank immediately... If it weren't for Xiaolan, he probably would have lost consciousness in that situation.

But putting aside the dangers of the process, Lin Jiashu can confirm that his safety will not be a problem in the end.

—Because the gas in the cave was detonated by Iwanaga Shiro, this act caused the rock strata to break and the seawater to spill out. From any perspective, this is an extremely deadly event.

however,

The Death Note cannot cause the death of a third party.

If the actions of the person whose name is written on the record lead to the death of a third party, the record will be invalid, and the person whose name is written on the record will die directly from cardiac arrest.

Yoshiki Hayashi, Ran, and Sonoko are the third parties outside the record.

Therefore, when Yoshiki Hayashi wrote "Iwanaga Shiroji shoots to detonate the gas" in the Death Note, there could only be two outcomes:

Either Lin Jiashu and the others will remain unscathed in this crisis;

Or perhaps Iwanaga Shiro would have died of cardiac arrest forty seconds after his name was written.

pick one of two.

Based on this, Hayashi Yoshiki had prepared a way for Izuyama Taro to die in advance: "He would return to the sea alive with the ship and die from excessive blood loss three minutes later."

—If something is physically plausible, then the cause of death must also be plausible.

So, since it has been confirmed that even someone as seriously injured as Izuyama Taro was able to return to the sea alive with the sailboat, then the uninjured Hayashi Yoshiki and the others will certainly be fine as well.

The process itself was really unpleasant.

Lin Jiashu and his group completed the transfer as soon as the police boat approached.

"Matsumoto Mitsuji died in the ruins; it was Mr. Iwanaga who fired the shot. And Izuyama Taro just passed away in the cabin due to excessive blood loss..."

Meeting Inspector Megure's concerned gaze, Yoshiki Hayashi said calmly, "I'm sorry, his injuries were caused by me. At the time, I was trying to control myself—"

"It's alright, this has nothing to do with you, Brother Lin."

Inspector Megure patted Yoshiki Hayashi on the shoulder.

He then turned and instructed Takagi and the others to start cleaning up the mess.

At this moment, Iwanaga Shiro was like an outsider.

He stood on the deck, relieved that his murder had not been exposed. However, his life was actually coming to an end. Two days later, after the police and detectives had left, he would dive into the water again out of resentment at not getting the treasure, only to be bitten to death by sharks that came smelling blood.

Chapter 341: Illness

"The intelligence on the target has been sent to your email. Only make your move when you are absolutely certain you can kill him."

After the call connected, Gin's cold voice rang out.

He was genuinely impatient.

The only response was a few weak coughs from Lin Jiashu.

"...You actually want to be absolutely certain of killing him? Do you really hate this target that much? But you'll probably have to wait a few more days this time. Cough, cough cough—!"

"What's wrong with you?"

"I accidentally caught a fever and also have a bit of a cough... It'll probably take a few days to get better."

Lin Jiashu's voice was a little hoarse.

Today is the second day since we returned from Shenhai Island. It seems that he caught a chill underwater and didn't get enough rest after returning, and he's starting to feel unwell.

I felt weak in my limbs, accompanied by mild dizziness, and I also had a persistent cough...

Hearing the commotion on his end, Gin frowned.

He had been looking forward to entrusting Junto with the task of killing Shuichi Akai for several days and nights, but unexpectedly, Junto failed him as soon as he sent over the information and intelligence.

This feeling made him very unhappy.

Very upset!

Just then, he heard Jundu speak in a hoarse voice: "But if you're in a hurry, none of this will matter. I'll take care of it."

"Wait, let's talk about it after you're better."

Gin refused in a cold and hard tone.

When a person is sick, their mental and physical abilities are greatly reduced. In this situation, how can you ask Junto to calculate how to kill Shuichi Akai by accident?

Let's skip that, lest we accidentally escape and alert the enemy!

"Delay the killing for now; that's an order."

After finishing his sentence, Gin hung up the phone without waiting for Hayashi Yoshiki's response.

We have to say it this way.

He suspected that Lin Jiashu would disregard his current physical condition in order to commit murder.

On the other side, Lin Jiashu looked at his phone, which had ended the call, and couldn't help but cough a few more times.

Gin, or rather Bourbon... is really fast.

However, on the issue of Shuichi Akai, the two are indeed on the same side—they both wish Shuichi Akai would just die.

Ring ring ring! Ring ring ring!

Speaking of Bourbon, Bourbon's phone rang.

Lin Jiashu pressed the answer button and said, "Hello?"

The investigation had just ended, and Amuro Tooru, who had just returned to the office, was overwhelmed by a mountain of work. He was about to call his boss and give him a good scolding, but he was silenced by Hayashi Yoshiki's preemptive, hoarse voice.

"What's wrong with your voice, Boss?"

"Just sick."

"...You're not just putting on an act to get yourself off the hook, are you?"

"You're surprisingly perceptive, Mr. Amuro... cough cough!"

After Hayashi Yoshiki finished speaking, he heard Amuro Tooru click his tongue.

In this situation, it would feel inhuman to criticize him again... Because Amuro Tooru knew that Akai Shuichi was about to die, he was in a good mood at the moment, so he told Hayashi Yoshiki to take a rest and then hung up the phone.

Lin Jiashu was indeed preparing to take a good rest.

Having stopped exercising due to physical discomfort, this moment of leisure where he could lie down and do nothing suddenly felt like a luxury to him... Although Lin Jiashu's daily life seemed to be without much work, upon closer examination, he actually did quite a lot of things.

Eri Kisaki: [Kizuki, how are you feeling now? Have you taken any medicine?]

I received a text message on my phone at that moment.

Lin Jiashu: [I'm alright... I'm going to take a nap first, then I'll check if there's any medicine at home.]

Eri Kisaki: [Okay, then you should get some rest.]

Lin Jiashu went back to her room and lay down in bed.

Because of the groggy feeling in his head, it took him quite a while to finally fall asleep.

Lin Jiashu was awakened from her sleep by the intermittent ringing of the doorbell. She didn't know how much time had passed.

His head was spinning even more, so he had no choice but to get up and open the door.

Click...

Xiao Lan, who had been waiting outside the door for more than ten minutes, immediately straightened up when she noticed the click of the door lock.

Then she saw Lin Jiashu, whose face was a little pale.

“…Xiao Lan?” Lin Jiashu’s voice was hoarse.

"Are you alright, Yoshiki-san? I've come to bring you some medicine."

Xiao Lan looked at Lin Jiashu with concern.

She then went into the house and closed the door behind her.

"Mom told me that Jiashu, you might not have any medicine or anything like that at home. Jiashu, have you taken your temperature? And have you had breakfast?"

After receiving negative answers from Hayashi Yoshiki, her expression immediately became serious.

"No, if you're sick and don't eat breakfast before going to sleep, you'll definitely feel even worse when you wake up."

She looked at Lin Jiashu.

He gives instructions with a serious expression, but his tone is very gentle.

Afterwards, when Lin Jiashu returned to the living room and sat down, she put down the medicine she had brought. Stumbling a little in the unfamiliar living room, she found a cup and filled it with warm water for Lin Jiashu. She wanted to urge him to take his medicine, but then remembered he hadn't eaten breakfast. As she was about to check the kitchen for anything she could tidy up, she remembered she could have him take his temperature first—

Although he was a little dizzy, Lin Jiashu couldn't help but laugh as he watched her hesitantly wandering around.

Xiaolan then handed him the thermometer and gestured for him to put it under his armpit.

"I don't see much food in the kitchen, so let's cook some porridge first... Jia Shu, can you take your medicine after you finish the porridge, and then go rest?"

"...Okay, thank you for your help."

Xiaolan was pleasantly surprised not to hear Lin Jiashu say "it's not necessary to go through all that trouble."
