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

Page 250

Perhaps the events of this afternoon have caused widespread anxiety among the residents of Beika, as taxis, which are usually easy to hail, are now extremely scarce.

It's a pity about Shuichi Akai.

He could have avoided death if he had listened to the contents of the text message.

But whether it was because he didn't trust Miyano Akemi or because he was too confident in himself, he insisted on being present... so there was no other way but to take action.

Lin Jiashu even had to control him to delete the contents of the text messages.

Lin Jiashu waited for about ten minutes before a taxi finally arrived.

About ten minutes after I got in and left, a Dodge Viper roared to the hotel entrance.

jingle!

Chianti arrived at the bar and greeted them with a grin: "Hey! Cointreau, where's Cointreau? In the restroom?"

"He just left."

"what!?"

"Don't block the door, Chianti."

Cohen nudged her.

Meanwhile, Yoshiki Hayashi received a text message from Ai Haibara.

Ai Haibara: "What are you doing?"

Lin Jiashu: "We're getting ready to go back."

There was no reply for a while.

She probably wanted to ask me about the situation... but she was also worried that Gin and the others were near Yoshiki Hayashi, so she was being very careful.

Lin Jiashu then sent a text message.

Tell your sister not to overthink it.

Ai Haibara: "Okay."

Ai Haibara: "Your cough isn't better, so take care of yourself."

Lin Jiashu: "OK".

hum~

Another phone suddenly vibrated.

Chianti: "Cointreau! What are you doing running away!?"

"..."

Jundu: "My cough hasn't gotten better, and I feel a little uncomfortable after drinking some."

Chianti: "Oh, oh!"

Chianti: "Hey, you should have said so earlier!"

Chianti: "Then you should get some rest."

Lin Jiashu: "Thank you."

Chianti: "What are you thanking me for?!"

Chianti was furiously typing on her phone in the bar, while Cohen next to her couldn't help but hook his arm around her neck.

Chianti is completely hooked.

Cohen noticed this, but didn't say anything.

After all, it seems like Cointreau is preparing a new work right now...

Amendment and Apology Statement

I'm very sorry, I didn't think of yesterday's plot in detail.

If you're wrong, admit it; if you're going to get a beating, stand up straight.

Shuichi Akai's problem, as everyone has said, is that I didn't lay enough groundwork and only focused on raising expectations for Death Note... The "Gilgamesh" expert explained this very clearly, and I didn't realize this beforehand, which led to this problem. This is my personal deficiency and something I need to learn.

On another note, as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven said, whether or not to let Akai Shuichi live is essentially a trade-off between Hayashi Yoshiki's character and his high-class image. I chose to have both but neglected the groundwork laid in this regard.

This is something I didn't do well, so I'm very sorry.

I will make sure this situation is completely avoided in the future. Thank you.

Chapter 348: The Irish Gaze

"Good morning, Mr. Lin. Thank you for coming so early."

A few days later, Yoshiki Hayashi received an invitation from the Metropolitan Police Department to attend a meeting somewhere.

But it doesn't seem to be related to Shuichi Akai's case.

"After all, such a terrible incident happened, so of course I would do my best to help if I could."

As Lin Jiashu spoke, he couldn't help but cough lightly again.

Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako, who were facing him, straightened their expressions.

Both of them wore identification tags on their chests, and Lin Jiashu also had one, but the color and pattern were different.

"A mahjong tile was also found at the scene of the murder that happened on the toll road in Odawara City the day before yesterday," Takagi Wataru said.

Miwako Sato immediately added, "Similar cases involving mahjong tiles have also occurred in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Shizuoka, and Nagano prefectures... There have been a total of five cases so far."

The topic of today's meeting is this case.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiashu asked again, "Is there any progress regarding the shooting incident in Beika City four days ago?"

“Based on surveillance footage and eyewitness accounts, we quickly located the motorcycle the gunman was riding, but it had a fake license plate,” Miwako Sato replied seriously. “However, based on our investigation of the vehicle’s tracks and our interviews and investigations, we now have some leads.”

"I see……"

Lin Jiashu nodded.

Although the gunman that day followed his orders, he had no direct connection with Yoshiki Hayashi. In fact, the orders were relayed by Gin and his team.

Therefore, even if he is arrested, it will have no impact on Lin Jiashu.

However, today's meeting was not about this case—it was also a heinous case, but it only happened in Beika Town.

The widespread serial killings were what truly caused widespread panic among citizens in various places, and the attendees of this meeting also included the police inspector from the local police station where the incidents occurred.

When Lin Jiashu followed the two into the conference room, he found that the conference room was full of people chatting in small groups.

Among these people are the Yokomizo brothers, Sango and Shigego, prefectural police officers from Shizuoka and Kanagawa prefectures; Ogino Ayami, a police inspector and policewoman from Saitama prefecture; Yamato Kansuke from Nagano prefecture; and Yamamura Misao from Gunma prefecture... Thanks to Conan, he practically became a police inspector without any effort.

“Mr. Hayashi! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I am Yokomizo Sango from Shizuoka Prefecture.”

The inspector with the coral-like head excitedly stepped forward.

Unlike his cool and serious younger brother, he is a police officer who greatly respects detectives and is now considered a fan of Kogoro Mouri.

"Hello."

Lin Jiashu smiled and shook hands with him.

"I often hear Mr. Hayashi's name from Mr. Mori, and I've always wondered when I'll have the chance to see your reasoning in person."

"But the places where reasoning is needed are basically crime scenes, so I think it's best to avoid it if possible."

"That's right. Otherwise, the reason why Brother Mori appears in the newspapers so frequently is because of a series of heartbreaking cases."

Megure Juzo walked over with his eyes half-closed.

Sometimes he really wondered if Mori was cursed, and that Brother Lin was much better, capable and with less trouble.

"It's outrageous that a detective showed up at a meeting full of police officers."

"Brother Lin is an advisor to our Metropolitan Police Department's important special task force, and this time it was Supervisor Matsumoto who invited him to be a special advisor."

Inspector Megure glanced at Yokomizo Shigeo, who had just spoken, and said...

Lin Jiashu just smiled.

Then, Matsumoto Kiyonaga walked in and announced that everyone should sit down and begin the meeting.

Lin Jiashu sat in a seat quite close to the front.

He was given case-related materials, and as he picked them up to look at them, he noticed that Matsumoto Kiyonaga's gaze kept falling on him, intentionally or unintentionally.

"First, excluding the sixth case, the common point of the remaining five cases is that the victims were all attacked with a large knife. Judging from the shape of the wounds, the perpetrator used his right hand to stab the victims in a large downward swing."

Shiratori Ninzaburo stood in the center of the conference room, holding documents, and spoke while making a gesture of raising his right hand above his head and then slamming it down.

"Furthermore, in all five cases, the victims were first stunned with a stun gun before being taken to the crime scene to be murdered and their bodies disposed of. This raises a question: why would the murderer specifically take the victims to another location before killing them?"

"Secondly, in each of the six cases, mahjong tiles with red circular markings, letters on the reverse side, and vertical black lines were found next to each body. This was clearly information left by the suspect."

That's the "Seven of Bamboo" tile in mahjong.

While Hayashi Yoshiki was intently studying the documents, Matsumoto Kiyoshi, sitting above him... no, Ireland, was also observing him closely.

Cointreau…

This dangerous guy sat openly among the police, and judging from the reactions of the police in Tokyo, they all trusted him implicitly.

What a terrible guy.

Ireland will never forget the incomprehensible command the other party gave in Osaka. Afterwards, he more or less collected some information related to the accident... All those incomprehensible methods of killing were created by this guy.

Unlike himself, who needed to use disguises to carefully disguise himself in order to sit here, he truly disguised himself flawlessly.

"..."

The thought that his disguise was done with that woman's help cast a shadow over Ireland's eyes.

He was Pisco, the adopted son of Kenzo Masuyama.

At the time of the memorial service at the Beihu Hotel, Pisco was shot and killed by Vermouth for making a mistake, and his body was thrown into a fire and burned... Because Ireland admired Pisco as a father, he also hated Vermouth.

But Vermouth is the most special one in the organization.

She failed a mission recently but just brushed it off and got away with it. But Pisco, as one of the organization's early veterans, has always worked diligently, yet he suffered such a fate just because of a small mistake... I probably have no chance of bringing her down.

There might be some hope of taking down Gin, but there's probably no way to deal with Vermouth.

Unless you kill her outright.

Ireland thought to himself.

But how can this be achieved?

Vermouth is no pushover; otherwise, she would have been caught by the FBI long ago for her long-term activities in the United States. And even if she could do these things on her own, she would have no way out.

At this moment, Lin Jiashu seemed to notice his gaze, looked up and smiled.

Looking at that handsome and gentle face, the one whose true identity no one would guess, Ireland's expression quietly turned serious.

Chapter 349: I've always been deeply impressed by the feminine scent you exude.

During a break in the meeting, everyone went outside to get some fresh air.

Most police officers either come out for a smoke or to buy a drink.

"Mr. Lin, what would you like to drink?"

"Soda water will do."

"Okay, soda water... You seemed to be having a hard time holding back your cough over there, are you feeling better yet?"

"Yeah, I still can't help coughing occasionally."

Taking the soda water from Shiratori Ninzaburo, Hayashi Yoshiki smiled and said, "But Mr. Shiratori, don't you look a little chubby?"

"Where...where is it?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo was a little nervous when he heard this, "I go to the gym twice a week."
