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

NNN News Special Report

Queen Sakura and Prince Gil of the Kingdom of Vespania have died unexpectedly.

"We apologize for interrupting the live broadcast. We will now bring you a special news report."

When he noticed this line of text appearing, Lin Jiashu paused in his pen-twirling motion.

Then the TV screen flashed and switched to another news channel.

"At 10:20 a.m. local time, Queen Sakura and Prince Gil of the Kingdom of Vespania died during a hunting trip when their hunting rifles accidentally discharged."

Repeat once

"Weiss..."

"..."

"It is reported that the Kingdom of Vespania recently discovered an unknown mineral, attracting worldwide attention. Meanwhile, the Sakura Queen, known for her approachable nature..."

Lin Jiashu raised an eyebrow.

Although this news had nothing to do with the citizens of Beika Town, it was the beginning of an incredible story in Yoshiki Hayashi's eyes.

Princess Mira, who looks almost exactly like Ran, Lupin III, and Fujiko Mine...

Needless to say, Lupin III and his companions were also involved, but the unknown mineral that appeared in the Kingdom of Vespania, as reported in the news, was also incredible—it was a "stealth" mineral that could achieve ultimate invisibility.

With the development of technology, countries with advanced military capabilities are developing stealth fighters that can avoid being detected by radar, and the unknown mineral that appeared in the Kingdom of Vespania can achieve this to the extreme.

The question is about Ke Xue (a famous Chinese scholar).

Sakura Hotel

Although it was just the opening night of a new luxury hotel, a large number of celebrities and athletes were invited to the event.

Police and helicopters were patrolling outside the venue.

"Really, on such a wonderful occasion, Lan actually went to practice karate."

In the banquet hall, Sonoko Suzuki, dressed in a formal gown, muttered to herself.

There were many well-known celebrities at the event, and she really wanted to go up and ask them for autographs.

"Sister Xiaolan has indeed been practicing karate a lot lately."

Why?

Sonoko looked down at Conan, who was making a sound, and asked, "She hasn't had any matches lately, has she?"

"I do not know."

Conan held his head in his hands.

Kogoro Mouri, holding a sake glass, was observing the beautiful women around him with a smile when he turned his head and suddenly saw Sonoko staring at him with half-closed eyes. He was taken aback: "What are you doing?"

"Uncle, don't you care about what's wrong with your daughter lately? Why is she suddenly training so hard in karate?"

"How would I know her? Maybe she just suddenly felt like she wanted to get serious," Kogoro Mouri said dismissively. "Alright, don't interrupt my enjoyment. Anyway, she said she'd come even if she was late."

"..."

Sonoko and Conan remained silent.

"Speaking of which, where's Yoshiki-san?"

“I saw him just now… ah, there he was.”

"...He must have had a really tough time."

Sonoko was originally thinking of striking up a conversation with Yoshiki Hayashi, but when she followed Conan's gaze and saw that there were quite a few people gathered around him, she temporarily gave up the idea.

The opening of the Sakura Hotel sent invitations to many celebrities.

Because of his fame, Lin Jiashu was approached by many people who wanted to talk to him, which forced him to enter a business mode.

Fortunately, the lights in the venue suddenly went out shortly afterward.

The spotlight shone on the stage above, and the host, microphone in hand, announced, "We've kept you waiting, everyone. Please give a warm round of applause to our distinguished guest today, Princess Mira of the Kingdom of Vespania!"

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

It's strange and even a bit beneath a princess to attend the opening ceremony of a hotel.

But in fact, this is related to the Sakura Queen who recently passed away in the Kingdom of Vespania. She was very fond of the Japanese cherry blossoms that shared her name, and the opening ceremony held at this cherry blossom-themed hotel was actually the venue that the Sakura Queen had booked for her visit before her accident.

Now, the Kingdom of Vespania is without a leader and is in a very delicate situation due to the discovery of a special mineral.

Soon, Princess Mira made her appearance.

The other person walked onto the stage in splendid attire, and his face astonished Kogoro Mouri and Sonoko—it was like him! They were practically identical.

They are similar to Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kuroba to a similar degree, only their facial expressions and temperaments are different.

"She looks just like Xiaolan..."

"Xiao Lan isn't that arrogant!"

This is how her best friend and father commented.

Lin Jiashu examined her carefully for a while and could tell that she was different from Xiaolan from the subtle differences in her eye color and hair color.

He suddenly looked in another direction.

Among the applauding crowd below, a woman wearing a sexy purple dress, sunglasses, and wavy hair was smiling at the princess on the stage—her slender waist and excessively large breasts made it easy for Lin Jiashu to recognize her.

Fujiko Mine is a woman of exceptional virtue, known as someone who can enter through wind and rain, but is forbidden from entering by Lupin.

When Mine Fujiko noticed Hayashi Yoshiki's gaze and looked over, realizing he was a handsome guy, she flirtatiously blew him a kiss.

Lin Jiashu turned around with a smile.

This woman is too troublesome, and she's unlikely to stay put. It's best to avoid provoking her if possible.

However, it's unclear whether Lupin III would lead his companions to raid the entire distillery if she were to die at Gin's hands.

of course……

Lin Jiashu is only thinking about it for now.

Chapter 365: Two Similar People

When it was Princess Mira's turn to speak, she kept a tense expression and stared silently at the audience.

She did not respond when the host tentatively asked her questions.

In the end, it was her attendant who picked up the microphone and gave the speech, but all he said were very formal and polite platitudes.

Next comes the toasting ceremony.

Lin Jiashu took a glass of champagne from the tray held by the approaching waiter and quietly thanked him.

He then noticed that Princess Mira's gaze seemed to be on him, but the next second, she picked up her wine glass and stood up at the instruction of her attendants.

Let's finish this quickly!

—That was the meaning conveyed in the princess's eyes.

"You can't drink it!"

Conan loudly stopped Mira from raising her glass.

When he drew everyone's attention, Conan, hands in his pockets and looking confident, didn't seem like a primary school student at all: "Excuse me, Your Highness, but please let the person who poured the wine try it first."

His words instantly changed the expressions of everyone on stage.

The attendant, Qis, immediately grabbed the wine from the princess's hand, and the person who poured the wine, seeing that he had been exposed, immediately kicked over the cart next to him and fled down into the ground.

Fearing the other party might be hiding a weapon, the guests instantly panicked.

"Get out of here!!"

The man pulled out a folding knife from his pocket, unfolded it, and waved it wildly intimidating people, causing those around him to scream and run away.

"Brother Jiashu!"

Lin Jiashu put down the champagne and stepped forward.

As he approached, he unbuttoned his suit jacket. When the assailant saw that someone dared to stop him, his eyes flashed with malice, and he thrust his knife forward with a fierce stab!

wow——

The sharp tip of the knife sank into the suit, and the assailant's expression changed.

However, it was too late.

After covering the knife in the assailant's hand with his suit jacket, Lin Jiashu grabbed the man's wrist and pulled him down, while his other hand clenched into a fist and struck the man's abdomen.

Bang

With a cry of pain, the perpetrator's eyes bulged out, and his body arched.

The next second, he fell to his knees.

Conan felt a bit of a stomachache watching this—Yoshiki Hayashi, he still loves attacking people's abdomens.

Hotel staff and police quickly brought the scene under control.

The princess was taken away to rest and be protected, while Lin Jiashu, Conan, and the others were left behind.

"Inspector Megure, we detected enough poison to be lethal in the princess's red wine."

Takagi Wataru walked in and reported.

Not surprised by the result, Inspector Megure looked at the princess's attendant, Keith Dan Stinga, the count of the Kingdom of Vespania.

"Mr. Keith, now that things have come to this, are you still going to refuse our police security?"

"I think royal bodyguards are enough."

"Enough? You mean like the situation just now?"

"We had already made an agreement with the princess beforehand that she would not touch the food at the banquet."

It was precisely because of this that Qi Si remained composed. He turned around from the window and looked at Lin Jiashu: "However, I still want to express my gratitude to the two of you."

"It's nothing, it's just that the princess looks like my little sister, so I couldn't help but lend a hand."

"Looks alike?"

Keith was somewhat interested in this.

Although he was only a count in a small country, he had the arrogance of someone who considered himself superior.

However, Yoshiki Hayashi didn't mind that.

On the contrary, he found it very interesting.

Or perhaps, having possessed the Death Note for so long, Yoshiki Hayashi is actually the most arrogant one.

The police interrogation quickly yielded results.

"The man who wanted to poison the princess claimed he was just hired to do it. He said he was told that it was just a prank laxative, but when we told him it was actually a deadly poison, he confessed everything."

"In addition, regarding the person who commissioned him, it is said to be a foreign face whom we are meeting for the first time today."

Even Kogoro Mouri was speechless when he heard this.

They dared to play such a prank for a little money, even targeting a princess of a country...

Keith ultimately refused to let the police get involved.

It wasn't until a moment later, when the alarm sounded on the upper floor of the hotel and a bodyguard ran over to report that the princess was missing, that Keith's expression finally changed.

18:39

As the time on her wristwatch gradually approached seven o'clock, Xiaolan's mood couldn't help but become anxious.

I accidentally practiced too late...
