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

But it was too late to wait until after the rain.

While it's possible to sabotage the radio and force everyone to wait four days before leaving, directly sabotaging the radio would only arouse Lin Jiashu's suspicion.

Therefore, Tokitsu Junya had no choice but to take action at this time.

The heavy rain provided cover, allowing him to move around without having to be so stealthy.

When he climbed up to the window of Hayashi Yoshiki's room with the help of tools, Tokitsu Junya took a few steps and removed the entire window and frame. While Hayashi Yoshiki and the others were eating downstairs and playing cards later, he took the opportunity to tamper with the windows of several other rooms.

Finally, soaked to the bone, Tokizu Junya sneaked into Hayashi Yoshiki's room under cover of darkness.

Looking at the figure lying on the bed, he crept over and raised the iron hammer in his hand with a ferocious expression.

However, just as he brought the hammer down, Lin Jiashu opened his eyes.

Around 11:30

Heiji Hattori and Conan were already lying down in the next room.

The two best friends, who rarely get together, were sleeping soundly when they suddenly heard the sound of breaking glass and sat up abruptly.

What was that sound?

"You heard it too?"

The two men, sitting up, looked at each other in a daze. Their first thought was that the heavy rain had broken a window in the old, dilapidated wooden house. But the next second, the faint screams they heard made them realize that something was wrong.

"It's Yoshiki-nii's room!"

Conan, realizing what was happening, immediately got up and ran over.

Heiji Hattori did not hesitate.

As the two pushed open the door and stepped into the hallway, Hakuba Saguru also came out.

The three exchanged a glance and without saying a word, immediately ran to Lin Jiashu's door.

Boom!

Bang bang bang!

"Hey, are you alright, buddy?!"

"Yoshiki-kun!"

The two knocked on the door and shouted.

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of Nanatsuki and the others in the next room. When she and Hiroki Tsuchio came out of the room, they saw Hakuba Saguru and Hattori Heiji frantically banging on the door.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, we suddenly heard the sound of breaking glass and screams!"

Conan's face turned ugly.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki suddenly became a little nervous.

Just as Hattori Heiji told Hakuba Saguru to step aside and took a few steps back to charge at the door, the door opened.

"I'll run him over—oh no!!!"

Hattori Heiji, caught off guard by Hayashi Yoshiki's sudden opening of the door and stepping aside, rushed into the room and tripped.

Before he could even get up and speak, the scene that came into view astonished him.

Conan and the others, who entered a little later, also saw the scene in the room—the window of Yoshiki Hayashi's room was gone.

"what happened?"

"It was Shijin. He sneaked into my room from outside, intending to attack me with this thing, but I reacted quickly enough, snatched the hammer, and jumped out of the window to escape."

As Lin Jiashu spoke, he raised the hammer in his hand, and the bloodstains on the hammerhead made everyone's pupils shrink.

"What is the blood on it?"

"Wait, where's Mr. Tsuchio?!"

"That guy Tokitsu is right there!"

Conan immediately thought of Hiroki Tsuchio, while Heiji Hattori, who was closer to the window, saw Junya Tokitsu, who had jumped out of the window, landed on the ground, and had already gotten up and fled into the woods.

Hattori Heiji glanced at the height and, without saying a word, chose to jump from the second floor.

Lin Jiashu and the others quickly went downstairs to catch up.

It was still pouring rain outside.

Drizzle, drizzle! Drizzle, drizzle!

The dense rain obscured everyone's vision and brought a chill to their skin.

Tokizu Junya ran into the woods in a panic.

He didn't expect that Lin Jiashu wasn't asleep. Just as the hammer was about to hit him, Lin Jiashu reacted and kicked him down, which resulted in this situation.

Tsuchio Hiroki has already been killed by him.

He's a murderer now, and we absolutely cannot let them catch him.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Hattori Heiji's powerful voice pierced through the rain.

Boom!

A flash of lightning, and the figures of the detectives who darted past in the swaying shadows of the trees, clinging tightly to his back, made Tokitsu Junya let out an unbearable scream.

In his panic, he tripped and scrambled to his feet before continuing to run. Not knowing where to go, he instinctively ran towards the port he had come from earlier that day, only to find himself facing a turbulent sea.

He could only stop and turn around in a panic.

Heiji Hattori has caught up.

Lin Jiashu and the others, who were a step behind, also arrived here.

"You despicable bastard!"

Seeing Tokatsu Junya, who was soaked to the bone and whose face was pale and contorted in ugliness, Hattori Heiji was furious.

Several righteous high school detectives couldn't stand this scoundrel among detectives, especially since he actually planned to take advantage of the night to harm Lin Jiashu.

"Don't come any closer—!"

Just as the group was about to surround him, Tokitsu Junya grabbed a shovel that had been placed on the harbor for some reason and shouted angrily.

Boom!

Another thunderclap.

The turbulent sea flickered in and out of view, and Tokitsu Junya, with his back to the sea, stared at the people in front of him with a ferocious expression.

He seemed to be shouting something.

However, the sound of thunder and waves drowned out his shouts, and he waved the shovel wildly in a frenzied manner as if threatening someone.

Conan suddenly noticed a sliver of light rising from the shovel in the other person's hand.

His eyes narrowed behind his glasses.

"Let go of me!!!"

Ignoring the danger, Conan shouted, but his voice was also muffled by the sound of the waves.

Tokitsu Junya, holding a shovel, seemed about to rush over.

But the next second...

Everyone only felt a flash of bright light before their eyes,

boom!!!!!!!!!!!!

A deafening clap of thunder ripped through their ears, and then Tokitsu Junya collapsed to the ground.

Chapter 396: I'll Give You a Raise

The police boat arrived the next morning.

The team was led by Inspector Megure again. Before the boat had even come to a complete stop, the chubby guy stepped ashore, his hat almost blown away by the sea breeze.

"Brother Lin!"

He went straight to Lin Jiashu, who was standing there: "I heard everything you said on the phone. What exactly happened that someone died from being struck by lightning?"

"It means exactly what it says. The deceased was waving a shovel during last night's thunderstorm, which attracted lightning like a lightning rod and killed him."

"...Was it really just a simple lightning strike?"

Looking at Yoshiki Hayashi's face, Inspector Megure paused for a moment, somewhat incredulous.

Having witnessed all sorts of outrageous and not-so-outrageous murders, he was still a little incredulous when he first heard about such a straightforward way of dying—mainly because there were several detectives gathered on this island!

Megure was relieved that his friend was innocent, but the problem was Conan, who had been following Mori and had been infected by the plague, as well as Hattori Heiji from Osaka and the son of Director Hakuba... When Megure received the report from Yoshiki Hayashi via satellite phone last night, his heart skipped a beat.

“That’s right, it happened right in front of all of us, it was just a simple lightning strike,” Hattori Heiji said.

“However, there is another body inside the cabin at the back,” Conan added.

"The death of the other victim, Hiroki Tsuchio, was a murder."

Hakuba Saguru's words made Inspector Megure nod.

He quickly ordered his subordinates to collect Tokizu Junzai's body and survey the scene.

Last night, after witnessing the death of Tokitsu Junya from a lightning strike, Lin Jiashu and the others, limited by the environment and danger at the time, did not choose to bring his body back to the cabin. Instead, they found some things to cover his body.

Hiroki Tsuchio's body was soon discovered in the cabin.

He was lying on the bed when he was killed by a blunt force trauma to the head.

After the police finished surveying the scene and collected the two bodies, Lin Jiashu and his group boarded the boat that the police had brought.

"Luckily, Yoshiki-kun brought a satellite phone, otherwise we might have had to stay on that island for four whole days before we could go back."

Hakuba Saguru sighed, "It was the same last time at the Twilight Villa. I never expected this to happen again."

"Many cases in the 'locked room mystery' scenario are ruined by the lack of a satellite phone, so I think this is an essential item for detectives when they travel."

Lin Jiashu smiled.

Conan and the others, who hadn't considered this perspective, nodded in agreement upon hearing it.

When the ship docked at the pier and the group disembarked, Lin Jiashu saw that a car was already waiting for him.

A white Mazda RX-7 FD3S.

Amuro Tooru was leaning against the front of the car, operating his phone with one hand. When he saw Hayashi Yoshiki coming over, he raised his hand as a greeting.

"What? It's a sports car!"

When Hattori Heiji saw that it was just a two-seater sports car, he was a little disappointed: "I was hoping to get a ride."

"It shouldn't make a difference if Hattori-kun rides in a police car, right?" Hayashi Yoshiki said.

"...I haven't really ridden in a police car in Tokyo much."

Heiji Hattori scratched his head as he looked at the police car that Inspector Megure and his group had come by.

"Is there really no other option besides police cars?" Conan retorted.

“Then take my car. I’ve already arranged for the butler to come and pick us up. He should be here in about ten minutes,” White Horse said.

During the conversation, Koshimizu Nanatsuki remained mostly silent.

After Hayashi Yoshiki smiled and said goodbye to everyone, he walked towards Amuro Tooru, but Koshimizu Nanatsuki suddenly called out to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin."

When Hayashi Yoshiki looked over, the girl, now dressed in her everyday clothes, bowed deeply in gratitude.

Tokitsu Junya is dead.

In a way that no one could have imagined, even Hiroki Tsuchio died at the hands of Junya Tokitsu.

Although she was unable to take revenge herself, Nanatsuki Koshimizu felt that this ending was really good.
