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

When she came to her senses and found Amuro Tooru staring at her intently, she became a little nervous—whether she could stay or not seemed to depend on this assistant's decision.

"Miss Koshimizu... right?"

"Yes!"

"Were you a high school detective who was somewhat famous in Fukuoka Prefecture before?"

"Yes, I have solved about a hundred cases, and I don't think there were any mistakes."

"Speaking of which, how many cases has Mr. Amuro solved?"

Hayashi Yoshiki suddenly asked Amuro Tooru.

"Me? I'd say at least two hundred."

"...So why did you become my assistant?"

"Isn't it you who always complains about how boring this case is and refuses to take that case? I'm starting to suspect that you decided not to name the agency 'Hayashi Yoshiki Detective Agency' because you knew you wouldn't be taking many cases."

After complaining about Hayashi Yoshiki, Amuro Tooru looked at Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

"Things are very busy here, so having an assistant would be a good thing for me. But I need to make sure you're a capable person, so would it be alright if you undergo a one-month internship test?"

"Ah, okay! Please go ahead and test it!"

Upon hearing this answer, Nanatsuki Koshimizu stood up with delight.

Lin Jiashu, the boss, watched this scene with a smile on his face.

"Boss, don't even think about standing aside. I knew you had over a dozen boxes of fan mail to deal with right now."

"...Fan letters, shouldn't those be sent to the publisher?"

"Who gave you permission to open this firm at a publicly accessible address?"

"..."

In front of Koshimizu Nanatsuki, a loyal fan, Hayashi Yoshiki couldn't say anything.

He stayed at the firm until the evening.

It wasn't until after 9 a.m. that he drove to the Mihana Sun Plaza Hotel and took the elevator all the way to the suite on the top floor.

After swiping his secondary room card to enter, he immediately noticed the woman's clothes that had been taken off and carelessly tossed aside; her flashy underwear was just lying on the sofa.

The sound of water could be heard coming from the bathroom.

Lin Jiashu didn't pay any attention and walked to the sofa to sit down and check the information on his phone.

About ten minutes later, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

A woman with a charming and beautiful face came out, drying her wet hair and still damp.

"I thought you would wait for me to shower together."

Putting down his phone, Lin Jiashu smiled as he admired the woman's fair body, which was wrapped only in a bath towel.

"I'm wondering if your medical report is fake. Usually, you shouldn't be the one barging in like this."

Vermouth asked in return as she approached, but her target was the women's cigarettes and lighter she had placed on the table.

A soft "ding" sounded.

The slender lady lit her cigarette.

Vermouth exhaled a puff of smoke, calmly observing Lin Jiashu's serene face:

"Gin called me and asked me to cooperate with your operation. What exactly do you want?"

"secret."

"what……"

Vermouth seemed amused.

It's not an interesting experience for her, a proponent of secrecy, to be the one being riddles by others.

"Then it seems I should keep more secrets from you from now on."

“I don’t mind, but the question is, is Miss Vermouth confident she can keep it a secret?”

Lin Jiashu smiled.

He grabbed Vermouth's arm and pulled her towards him, and with a tug, the white bath towel slipped off perfectly.

The woman's alluring and seductive figure was completely visible to him.

"..."

Vermouth met Yoshiki's eyes and silently licked her lips.

We can't let this man lead us by the nose.

—She thought this countless times.

But as time went by, she could never forget that chilling pleasure.

So when Hayashi Yoshiki asked her to meet him at this hotel that evening under the pretext of discussing business, Vermouth agreed.

"Anyway, come take a bath with me first."

Lin Jiashu smiled.

Vermouth did not refuse.

Especially when Lin Jiashu loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt, she stopped talking.

Chapter 401: A Phone Call with Judy

The temperature dropped suddenly, seemingly overnight.

It suddenly started snowing last night.

Hayashi Yoshiki received a call from Amuro Tooru early this morning.

"Hello, Mr. Amuro?"

"Do you need to take some time off? Has something happened?"

"...Is there really no other way? Fine, anyway, Ms. Koshimizu is helping out at the agency right now, so come back after you've finished dealing with your business."

"Haha, if you're worried about not having a seat when you come back, then try to finish this quickly."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiashu smiled.

Sure enough, he asked for leave.

Just a moment later, Lin Jiashu made another phone call:

"Miss Judy."

"Mr. Lin?"

Did you receive a call from her?

"Wait a mininute."

A faint rustling sound came from the other end of the phone.

Perhaps Judy's current situation wasn't very convenient, because when Yoshiki heard her moving around, her voice rang out again after a moment: "You mean Rena Mizunashi? If it's her, then yes, she is... but she probably had a hard time getting through, so the call was very short. But she said very clearly at the time: 'The organization's new members have already started operating. They are investigative experts who are highly specialized in intelligence gathering, observation, and insight. The organization's code name is Bourbon. Be careful.'"

"That's the same message I received."

"Do you have more detailed information about Bourbon?"

"...Don't treat me like I'm omnipotent, Miss Judy."

Lin Jiashu replied, then added, "Let's meet on Saturday. I've prepared some documents, and I'll bring them with me."

"Okay, see you on Saturday."

Saturday is the time for the FBI to discover the gift.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiashu went straight to the balcony and looked out at the scenery.

The town of Beika, adorned with the pale white snow of early winter, exudes a peaceful atmosphere.

Let's enjoy our leisurely time until the real show begins.

"It's too cold over there, Mr. Lin."

"Yes, it's still warmer on Reiko."

"hey-hey"

He lifted the covers, revealing a woman with an incredibly sexy figure, who giggled.

She slowly got up.

Are you going to the firm?

"No, let's go this afternoon."

Hayashi Yoshiki replied, "I'll have a few days of leisure ahead. Celebrate for me, Reiko... After this matter is over, my position will be more secure."

"That's great!"

Although she didn't know what Yoshiki Hayashi was talking about, it didn't stop Shimizu Reiko from being happy for him.

She looked hesitantly as Lin Jiashu turned around.

Is there anything I can do for you?

"I can't think of anything right now, but I'll need you anytime, Reiko."

"Ok."

Shimizu Reiko was incredibly obedient.

She watched as Lin Jiashu walked towards the wardrobe, and very consciously came over to help him get dressed.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Judy Sterling came out of the restroom.

She had arranged to discuss with Hayashi Yoshiki some information that Hayashi Yoshiki had obtained from the special task force investigating the accidental killer.

She did all of these things behind James's back.

—Because Yoshiki Hayashi refused to believe James, and in order to find the murderer and avenge Shuichi Akai, Jodie had no choice but to contact Yoshiki Hayashi behind James's back.

However, Judy hopes that Yoshiki Hayashi can clear up his misunderstanding of James.

It's worth mentioning that she has been secretly monitoring one of the spies on the list recently, and has already placed a listening device in the spy's study.

But so far, we haven't heard anything suspicious.

However, to Judy's surprise, James's expression turned incredulous when he received a call from one of his agents that afternoon.

"what happened?"

“…It’s Dart calling.” James, holding the phone, looked at Judy in disbelief and said, “He said he spotted someone resembling Akai in front of the TV station in Beika Town.”

"What!?"

Judy suddenly stood up.

Her eyes were fixed on the phone in James's hand: "Where? When!?"

"Around 2:30, on the street in front of the Nichiri TV station."

"I'm going to find him!"

"Wait, Judy!"

James called out to Judy, who was about to run out to Miho TV.

He wanted to say that this might be a trap set by that organization, but seeing the other person's anxious and even somewhat irrational face, he opened his mouth but swallowed back what he was about to say: "I'll go with you."

Judy did not refuse.

The two got into the car immediately. James knew Judy was in a hurry, so he stepped on the gas and drove straight to Beika Town TV station.

He still did not reveal the details of Shuichi Akai's death to his subordinates, only saying that Akai might have more important things to do. Therefore, the agent who discovered the suspected presence of Shuichi Akai did not do anything extra after reporting the information.
