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

Her gaze was deliberately fixed on the outside of the car.

Lin Jiashu smiled.

"I thought you had become clingy and wanted to see me more often."

"...I don't understand what you're saying, it doesn't make sense."

Ai Haibara glanced at Yoshiki Hayashi, but when she met his smiling gaze, she couldn't hold it in for long before turning her face away again.

The skin on her neck was slightly red.

Lin Jiashu drove leisurely.

Ai Haibara remained silent for a long time, her gaze fixed on the peaceful street scene outside the window, a strange sense of peace settling over her.

There were only her and Cointreau in the car...

She quite enjoyed wandering around aimlessly.

"How is Miss Akemi doing?"

"She's probably not in the mood."

"Ai Haibara said softly."

Jundo had mentioned to his sister that the organization was going to take action against Shuichi Akai, so he asked his sister to try to communicate with him... but no matter how many messages she sent, they all went unanswered.

Of course, this has been the case ever since Shuichi Akai's identity was exposed and he fled the organization.

The other party never replies to Akemi Miyano's messages.

Even now, Akemi Miyano still doesn't know the exact situation...

Lin Jiashu did not reveal the truth.

Shuichi Akai could have avoided dying.

But since he had no interest in following the instructions he was given, he had no choice but to let him die... After all, Yoshiki couldn't simply refuse the order Gin had given him.

In order to have everything under control and live a life that can truly be as one pleases... Hayashi Yoshiki had already realized this when he started using the Death Note.

"By the way, could you help me get some tranquilizer darts from Professor Agasa?"

"it is good."

Ai Haibara didn't ask why.

Her expression was calm, but Lin Jiashu noticed that the atmosphere she exuded was a little off.

"You always seem really irritable?"

"No."

The girl's words were completely contrary to the impression she gave off.

She was indeed very irritable.

What's annoying is that the guy who took advantage of my sister and caused them so much trouble back then has to run away now, why is he still bothering my sister who has finally managed to live a peaceful life... And that idiot Junto, that good-natured fool, why does he always want to save everyone?

Hearing Hayashi Yoshiki suddenly cough, Ai Haibara became even more annoyed.

"Fool--"

"You seem a little unhappy. How about I take you to get ice cream? Or would you like to go to an amusement park?"

"I told you not to treat me like a child."

"Then let's treat you like an 18-year-old girl."

Lin Jiashu turned to look at her and smiled, "So, are you going on a date with me to an ice cream shop or an amusement park, Ms. Miyano?"

"..."

Dating.

When she first heard that word, Ai Haibara blushed slightly.

She couldn't even bring herself to say whether she agreed or refused.

But when she looked down at her own small hands and legs, and listened to what he was saying—that it was a place for children—Ai Haibara still felt awkward.

Lin Jiashu observed this.

"Otherwise, let's go to the aquarium."

"it is good."

"Let's go then."

It is 2 PM now.

By sunset, Hayashi Yoshiki had accompanied Haibara Ai on a tour.

We went to the aquarium and ate ice cream... Although we treated her like an 18-year-old girl and she acted quite maturely, in reality, given the difference in their physical sizes, it still felt like we were taking care of a child.

After taking Ai Haibara back to Professor Agasa's house, Yoshiki Hayashi returned to his apartment around 7 p.m.

Insert the key to open the door and enter the house.

Upon entering the foyer, Lin Jiashu paused, looking at a letter behind the door.

He bent down, picked up the letter, and opened it; his calm face instantly turned cold.

An unprecedented killing intent welled up in his dark eyes as he stared intently at the line of text on the envelope:

"You wouldn't want your identity exposed to everyone, would you, Cointreau?"

The font printed from the computer is not legible.

Lin Jiashu crumpled the letter into a ball.

And clench it tightly.

Clench it tightly.

Chapter 351: Let's Talk About Us, Ireland

The next day, new victims emerged, but the police also made a breakthrough.

—Including the victim who appeared today, all seven people had traveled to Kyoto around the time of Tanabata two years ago and had stayed at the same hotel.

A fire broke out in the hotel at the time, trapping eight people inside.

The only usable escape elevator at the time could only accommodate seven people, so one of the eight people, a girl named Nanako Honjo, survived and died in the fire.

Given that the perpetrator's act of taking items from the victim's body was most likely for the purpose of a memorial service, the police, who had almost confirmed the perpetrator's motive of revenge, immediately launched an investigation into Nanako Honjo's interpersonal relationships before her death and discovered that she had eloped with a boy named Kosuke Mizutani.

Two years ago, Kosuke Mizutani actually stayed at the hotel with Nanako, but he avoided the fire because he was visiting a friend at the time.

"That's probably him!"

"Hurry up and capture Kosuke Mizutani!"

Police from various districts immediately joined forces to launch an operation.

But when they went to the door, they couldn't find Kosuke Mizutani anywhere.

It was already late at night when Yoshiki Hayashi arrived at Tokyo Tower.

It's closed now.

Recalling the letter that had appeared in his home, Lin Jiashu's dark eyes darkened, and he made a phone call expressionlessly:

"Hello, Officer Shiratori. Kosuke Mizutani is currently in the Tokyo Tower exhibition hall, but he may not be the culprit."

"He wasn't the murderer?"

"In short, please inform the others. Also, the murderer may be carrying a weapon, so we need to be careful."

Lin Jiashu hung up the phone after saying that.

He was in a bad mood until this matter was resolved.

I was actually threatened...

Once his identity and actions are exposed, his current interpersonal relationships and social status will undergo tremendous changes—although making full use of the Death Note is not without room for maneuver, it will inevitably bring a huge impact on Hayashi Yoshiki's desire to achieve his life goals.

Can not accept.

The other party must die... a complete and utter death, so that not even a sound should escape their lips.

Lin Jiashu repeatedly smoothed his drooping hair as he forcibly suppressed his murderous intent and walked to the observation deck of Tokyo Tower.

Kosuke Mizutani stood in front of the huge glass, holding a glass of red wine in his hand.

"Detective Lin..."

Kosuke Mizutani recognized him and immediately became a little nervous.

After all, he came here to commit suicide and was afraid of being stopped.

—The murderer is actually Nanako Honjo's brother, Kazuki Honjo. He couldn't get over his sister's death and tried to entice Kosuke Mizutani to take revenge, but failed. So he took matters into his own hands and planned to frame Kosuke Mizutani.

The latter always believed that Nanako might not have died if he hadn't gone to visit his friend, so in order to alleviate his guilt, he agreed to take the blame for Honjo and Kazuki.

"On the anniversary of Nanako's death, all seven people who took the emergency elevator went to her grave to lay flowers."

"..."

"If only one or two people sent flowers, it might be out of a sense of atonement. However, the fact that seven people sent flowers indicates that it was to express their gratitude... Can you understand? Ms. Nanako was not pushed off the emergency elevator; rather, she voluntarily gave up her chance to escape to the other seven people."

Yoshiki Hayashi's indifferent voice startled Kosuke Mizutani.

Honjou and Kazuki lied to him, saying that Nanako was pushed out of the elevator by the other seven people, which is why he was willing to take the blame for their actions.

"It's Nanako...?"

"Yes, it's because Nanako is too kind-hearted."

As Honjou Kazuki emerged from the shadows of the observation deck, he couldn't sit still any longer when he saw Mizutani Kosuke's wavering expression. He shouted sharply, "But even if Nanako gave up the elevator willingly, it can't change the fact that Nanako died because of those people!"

"Indeed, Ms. Nanako lost her life because of those seven people, but she died for others, which is completely different from Mr. Mizutani taking the blame for Mr. Honjo and committing suicide."

"..."

Kosuke Mizutani fell silent.

After a long pause, he gave a bitter smile, then looked at Lin Jiashu: "...Detective Lin gives people a completely different feeling than he does in the reports and on television."

"..."

Lin Jiashu took a breath and softened his tone: "I'm sorry, I'm in a terrible mood right now. I didn't manage my emotions well."

After a long silence, Kosuke Mizutani finally decided to give up on suicide.

He turned around and handed a small package to Honjo Kazuki, which contained the items Honjo Kazuki had taken from the seven victims, and expressed his hope that Honjo Kazuki would turn himself in.

Upon hearing this, the latter immediately broke down.

He only dared to commit murder because he had found such a treacherous person to rely on. How could he be willing to surrender and face imprisonment? Therefore, he decisively pulled out a knife and attempted to kill the two people in front of him.

"Killing both of you and then framing the culprit will have the same effect!"

Perhaps because he hated Hayashi Yoshiki for disrupting his plans, Honjo and Yoshiki were the first to rush towards him.

however,

boom!

A bullet flew in and pierced the hand of Honjo and Kijima holding the knife.

It was Matsumoto Kiyonaga, or rather, Ireland, who arrived.

"Did you make it?"

Ireland rushed up, pulling out his police badge from his pocket. His imposing figure was incredibly intimidating as he approached: "I am Matsumoto from the Metropolitan Police Department. I am here to arrest you, Motokami Kazuki."

He stepped forward and restrained Ben and Shu, who were kneeling on the ground with their hands pierced.

The unfolding events caught Mizutani Kosuke off guard. He paused for a moment, then instinctively took two steps to the side.

Lin Jiashu quietly stepped forward.

The next second, Kosuke Mizutani felt a slight stinging sensation on the back of his neck, followed by a strong drowsiness that made him lose consciousness.

Seeing Coindus knock out others right in front of him, Ireland, after capturing Ben and Tree, saw a stun gun fall from their arms as they struggled. Without hesitation, he picked it up and stunned the guy.

Ben Shang and Shu were immediately lulled to sleep.
