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

Lin Jiashu's expression became more serious as he spoke.

"I'm sorry to have kept you in the dark, but there was a reason for it."

"……what?"

Lin Jiashu's gaze was so earnest that Judy's newly surfaced annoyance vanished without a trace.

What I'm about to say is perhaps very important.

She subconsciously prepared herself.

“James Black—I don’t trust him.”

"why?"

"In my opinion, there are some suspicious points about him."

Lin Jiashu spoke in a calm tone: "Do you remember that video from the third traffic light intersection in front of Mihana Station on the afternoon of June 15th? How did he get that video?"

"As a powerful figure in the FBI, James certainly has his own channels."

"Ah, of course I believe that."

Hayashi Yoshiki agreed with Judy.

"No matter how much effort the Ministry of Public Security put in, they couldn't recover the data from that time. So, Miss Judy, you should be able to accept the assumption that 'only that organization has that video,' right?"

"..."

"However, the killer who orchestrated the accidental murder is a top-secret fact within that organization. I confirmed it through my own means... and also during my conversation with Ms. Rena Mizunashi last night. She has never even heard of the so-called accidental murder."

"..."

Judy vaguely knew what Yoshiki Hayashi was about to say.

"Anyone who could copy that video from that organization must be in a high position."

Even so, that doesn't prove that James has a problem.

Judy had a high degree of trust in James Black.

Because 20 years ago, on the day her parents were murdered, it was James who came to their rescue... At the time, his original intention was to protect Judy and let her grow up like an ordinary person, but Judy herself chose to become an FBI agent.

"I am not surprised by your answer."

"but……"

Lin Jiashu paused for a moment.

Conan was also frowning and deep in thought.

From Judy's perspective, he probably wouldn't doubt James because of this... but Conan naturally believes Hayashi Yoshiki.

If it's him, then James probably really does have some kind of problem.

He looked at Lin Jiashu: "But what?"

"Get in my car."

Lin Jiashu stood up.

He led the two to his car and then opened the laptop that was in the car.

After entering the password to unlock, he found the specially hidden folder and opened the files stored inside.

"This is?"

Judy frowned.

Conan, who had squeezed in, also stared intently at the screen—the file contained the names, positions, and other information of several people, along with their photos.

The two soon discovered that the files seemed to contain information about social elites.

Secretary to a member of parliament, company president, newspaper editor-in-chief, philanthropist, etc...

"This file is a list of spies from the Black Organization."

Lin Jiashu's words made their pupils shrink.

He briefly explained the origin of the file—there were traces of Ireland's experience of disguising himself as Matsumoto Kiyonaga to infiltrate the Metropolitan Police Department.

Lin Jiashu simply embellished the method he used to retrieve the memory card, then scrolled down the file until they both saw a photograph—

【Jiebu Renwang】

[Director of Beihu Central Hospital]

Judy was speechless for a long time after seeing the face in the photo.

"When I saw James call the other person an absolutely trustworthy friend, I was really shocked - Ms. Judy, I can understand your reluctance to doubt the people you trust, and I guess your first reaction was to question the authenticity of this spy list."

"So, would you like to give it a try?"

"There are 24 people on the list. Apart from the dean, who might alert the enemy, we can secretly investigate the others to confirm whether the list is true."

Lin Jiashu looked at Judy and said.

Chapter 388: Scent

"By sending Rena Mizunashi back to the organization to continue her undercover work, you've also gained more trust from Gin and the others."

"Kill two birds with one stone".

"However, you really have quite a few secrets hidden."

As the silver Mercedes sped along the highway, Conan, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but speak up.

He was referring to the list of spies.

Lin Jiashu quietly obtained this thing but kept it a secret, just like many things before, using the pretext of doing what was best for them to send them away.

"After all, if you knew this thing existed, you'd probably rush to investigate it without a second thought."

Lin Jiashu looked ahead and said calmly.

“If you are exposed, it will inevitably implicate Uncle Mori and Ran. I can’t take that risk.”

"We're on the same page when it comes to this kind of thing. Aren't you doing dangerous things too?"

"I'm different."

Lin Jiashu said calmly, "No one will be able to detect my movements."

Where does this person get their confidence from?

Conan really wanted to complain.

He's just a little smarter, a little more skilled, a little more composed, a little better at acting, and a little better at dealing with people, right?

"..."

Ok.

Conan was speechless.

"So listen carefully, absolutely no one is allowed to investigate the people on the list on their own... You might think that as long as those spies exist, the organization will benefit from them for one more day, but that's not how it works, don't put the cart before the horse. Besides, Miss Judy will investigate."

"I know."

Conan nodded. "Do you think she's a good candidate?"

"Yes, she'll be fine."

As they talked, they approached the Mori Detective Agency.

Lin Jiashu slowly stepped on the brake, and as Conan reached for the doorknob to open the door, he smiled and said, "At worst, you can hide behind her and give her advice, right?"

Conan smiled too.

After closing the car door, he turned and left, while Lin Jiashu stepped on the gas and drove away from where he stood.

The organization's search for Rena Mizunashi has come to an end.

But for Jodie Starling, it was a new beginning.

She fell silent after seeing the list of spies not long ago.

Even though Yoshiki Hayashi had put it that way, and that the director of Beika Hospital, Hitoshi Minamoto, was indeed very likely a spy, Judy still didn't believe that James was the mole.

This is also human nature.

Lin Jiashu could completely understand her thoughts.

However, the stakes had already been planted. Even if Judy couldn't bring herself to investigate James, she absolutely couldn't ignore the director of Beihu Hospital and the other names on that spy list.

Lin Jiashu wasn't worried that her movements would be too exaggerated and give her away.

Judy Sterling may not be the smartest woman, but that doesn’t mean she’s incompetent.

Lin Jiashu simply felt that he could have his own people in the FBI.

The names on the spy list were also objects he could use—it wouldn't be difficult to cooperate with Judy using the notebook's ability during her investigation.

"James, Rum..."

"What exactly is their purpose?"

And was Karasuma Renya actually turned into a baby...?

Although many questions remain unanswered, the overall picture is becoming increasingly clear.

Lin Jiashu quickly returned to Mihana Second Apartment.

It is already evening now.

Upon entering the house, he immediately noticed that the medical examination report on the living room table had been moved.

Is it Aunt Eri?

He ignored it and went straight into his bedroom, opening a hidden compartment in the closet to examine the Death Note.

"Death Note"

The black-covered notebook was opened, and the first few pages, written in white on black paper, contained a detailed record of the rules for note-taking.

The first white page after the black rule page looks no different from an ordinary notebook, but the three characters "Lin Jiashu" are written in a conspicuous font on it.

Of course, this page is fake.

Lin Jiashu imitated the specifications of the Death Note, writing his name on an ordinary piece of paper and then meticulously attaching it to the notebook, thus creating the illusion that his name was written on the Death Note—the fake paper had no effect even if it were attached to the Death Note.

This was just a harmless little trick played by Yoshiki Hayashi. Although he didn't think it would be discovered, if it were, the name on it and the outline and settings that Yoshiki Hayashi had previously written for the "Death Note" work would make people think that it was just a "peripheral prop" made by Yoshiki Hayashi himself.

Given Judy's behavior, she will inevitably launch an investigation into the spy sooner rather than later—the more she trusts James, the sooner she wants to prove his innocence.

Lin Jiashu only needs to control the spy to expose himself to her investigation.

Lin Jiashu began to write.

He waited until the sun had completely set outside the window and the room was dark before he finally packed his things.

ding dong~

The doorbell rang.

Lin Jiashu walked to the entrance and opened the door.

Standing behind the door was Eri Kisaki.

"Aunt Yingli?"

"...I just heard a noise, and sure enough, you're back, Little Tree."

Looking at the gentle and refined face of the young man before her, Eri seemed to pause for a moment before speaking.

"Yes, I just got back." Lin Jiashu smiled and made way for her. "Is there anything I can help you with, Aunt Yingli?"

I've seen your medical report.

Eri Kisaki spoke first.

She said this with a calm expression, but it seemed like she was deliberately being nonchalant.

Lin Jiashu was speechless for a moment, seemingly unsure of what to say.

Putting herself in his shoes, Eri felt she could understand his embarrassment, so her calm expression softened again: "So, you don't usually feel unwell physically?"
