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

"here."

Lin Jiashu looked at him and pointed to her cheek to remind him that there was something on it.

The waiter, unsuspecting, was about to put down the cake and wipe it clean when Lin Jiashu reached out and grabbed the mask off his face.

Kaito Kuroba suddenly looked up and was startled when he saw Yoshiki Hayashi's smiling face.

"Phantom Thief Kid!?"

"Shinichi Kudo?!"

Ran and Sonoko called out.

The two of them instinctively stood up from their seats, and the exclamations immediately drew everyone's attention.

Suzuki Jirokichi, who was enjoying his tea, immediately jumped up upon seeing this and pointed at the completely unsuspecting Kuroba Kaito: "Lupin, go!"

"Wang!"

Lupin is Jirokichi Suzuki's dog. As soon as it received the command, it barked and rushed towards Kaito Kuroba.

The latter hurriedly hid.

He started running in circles around the restaurant tables, glaring indignantly at Lin Jiashu: "You're really going too far!?"

Lin Jiashu smiled and waved the human skin mask in his hand: "It's because Xiaolan is sitting next to me."

"what?"

Xiao Lan blushed, not understanding what this had to do with her.

"I was just thinking that Phantom Thief Kid might have already infiltrated the airship, so I tried pinching the face of the person next to me, and I didn't expect to hit the jackpot right away."

"Who would believe your nonsense!"

"Wang!"

During one of Lupin's pounces, Kaito Kuroba panicked and jumped onto the dining table, but the next second he caught a glimpse of a brat aiming his watch at him out of the corner of his eye.

Not daring to delay, he immediately darted to another location.

Ginzo Nakamori, who had just entered the restaurant with his subordinates, had obviously heard the commotion. As soon as he entered, he shouted, "Kaito Kid!"

This is bad!

Last time, he managed to fool Nakamori by using his identity as Shinichi Kudo. If Nakamori sees his face again this time, even the dumbest person would become suspicious!

Not wanting to be completely suspected by his childhood friend's father, Kaito Kuroba changed his clothes in a flash before Ginzo Nakamori could see his face, and threw a smoke bomb.

Large amounts of smoke quickly spread out.

"Damn it, don't think you can always escape using smoke bombs!"

Without a second thought, Nakamori Ginzo and his group of subordinates plunged headlong into the smoke.

Chapter 414: The Organization's Business

"Today is the seventh day. Could those guys who made such a big fuss be up to the same idea as us?"

In the organized bar

The bartender behind the bar quietly swirled his shaker, while Vodka stubbed out his nearly finished cigarette in the ashtray.

The television next to me was broadcasting news related to red Siamese cats.

Because of the statement issued by this criminal gang seven days ago, the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is on high alert, and patrols have been intensified several times over.

Gin, hands in his pockets, watched a TV interview where a germ expert was urging everyone to stay home and avoid going out to prevent bacterial infections. He looked completely calm.

"An 80% mortality rate is too extreme for business purposes, and seven days is not enough time to produce a vaccine."

"That's true..."

Vodka realized it too late.

The organization has always invested heavily in medical research.

However, it's not just about the drug APTX4869; the organization actually has several virus research institutes—there's a virus lab right across from the drug lab where Shiho Miyano used to research APTX4869.

Based on a research project that was about to be completed in the virus lab, Gin recently applied to the BOSS for approval of a proposal: to release a flu virus with a considerable mortality rate, and after it spread, to sell special vaccines to governments around the world to make huge profits—making money this way is much easier than personally going door-to-door to extort money.

As the leader of the action team and a close confidant and loyal follower of the BOSS, Gin sometimes has to take on the task of making money for the organization.

Normally, earning 1 billion yen is nothing to the organization.

Not to mention that the organization is full of parasites who eat the best food and drive the most ostentatious cars, they also have to apply for extra operational funds from time to time... In addition, the organization has Osprey helicopters, submarines and other vehicles that need maintenance, which is no small amount.

Thinking of the record he'd seen a couple of days ago of Bourbon impersonating Shuichi Akai and openly demanding two sums of money for operations, Gin couldn't help but snort.

In contrast, Jundu was incredibly worry-free – almost no money had been touched from the account the organization had specially approved for him.

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.

On the Suzuki No. 1 airship

After the smoke cleared, the entire restaurant was in complete chaos.

"Kidd!"

"Where did you run off to?! Damn it, I'm going to catch you this time!!"

Nakamori Ginzo's booming voice echoed through the restaurant.

Then, halfway through his shout, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Why were all his men glaring at him so fiercely?

"Hello? What's going on?"

Feeling something was off, he instinctively asked a question, only to have one of his policemen suddenly point at him and shout, "Catch Phantom Thief Kid!"

"on!"

"what!?"

Caught off guard by his men, Nakamori Ginzo was tackled to the ground. He cried out in bewilderment, "It's a mistake!" "It's a misunderstanding!" It took him a while to realize that Kaito Kid had secretly tucked his cloak into his suit and deliberately left a corner sticking out. The officers probably assumed that Kaito Kid had been too busy disguising himself to notice this, so they took action.

It wasn't until Nakamori Ginzo's face was swollen from being pulled that the misunderstanding was cleared up.

"Damn it! Did Kidd escape again?"

"I'm sorry, yes."

Looking at Nakamori Ginzo's exasperated face, Hayashi Yoshiki was speechless and laughed, "When the smoke bomb exploded just now, he probably hid under the nearby dining table, waiting for the chaos on your side, Mr. Nakamori, to attract everyone's attention before making his escape."

"How exactly did Yoshiki-nii find him just now?" Sonoko was still very curious.

"Didn't I say it was luck?" Lin Jiashu laughed. "Or rather, it was the power that Xiaolan gave me."

"No, Yoshiki-san..."

Xiaolan looked embarrassed after being told that again.

Sonoko looked somewhat annoyed upon seeing this.

"Speaking of which, Xiaolan is sometimes really lucky. I'm saying, next time when I pray to the gods, I won't bother with anything else, I'll just pray to you, Xiaolan."

"What? You want to make me the local monk?"

"As long as it brings me good luck, that's fine too."

The garden was all smiles.

The conversation between the two best friends did not affect Nakamori Ginzo's frustration. Although he had been temporarily outmaneuvered by Kaito Kid, now that he knew the other party had infiltrated, he was ready to start pinching people's faces everywhere without letting anyone get away.

However, Kaito Kid is indeed not currently at the restaurant.

Having just hidden himself with a smoke bomb and changed his disguise, he should theoretically be free of any flaws... but unfortunately, that beast Lin Jiashu was in the restaurant.

Kaito Kuroba had suspected a long time ago that Yoshiki Hayashi could see through his disguise. Otherwise, how could Yoshiki catch him every time he made no mistakes?

After finishing their juice, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta, they laughed and prepared to leave the restaurant.

As they ran away, a waitress carrying tea accidentally sneezed. She turned her head away to avoid people, and that's when Genta ran over.

"Sorry, little one."

"Seriously, be careful. You should cover your mouth with your hand when you sneeze."

"...Yes, I'm sorry."

Even though the other person had suddenly come over on their own, the waiter still apologized.

Afterwards, Genta Kojima and the other two children ran away.

After pouring the tea, the waitress put the things down and couldn't help but rub her hands—a rash had appeared on her hands at some point.

Just then, Suzuki Jirokichi's phone rang.

When I took it out, I found it was an anonymous number.

"Who?"

Even so, he still pressed the answer button.

"Hey?"

"We spread deadly bacteria in the airship's smoking room."

"What!?"

Suzuki Jirokichi immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "You're kidding me!"

"Go look under the sofa on the left."

"Hey, wait! Hey—!"

As Suzuki Jirokichi shouted anxiously, all he heard from the other end of the phone was a busy signal.

Just as Nakamori Ginzo was about to order his men to search for Kaito Kid's trail in pairs, he frowned upon seeing this. Although he often appeared to be just a clueless inspector chasing after Kaito Kid, Nakamori Ginzo was no less perceptive of danger.

"What happened, Uncle Jirokichi?" Sonoko asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, just a nuisance call."

As Suzuki Jirokichi spoke, after Sonoko said "Oh," he gave Hayashi Yoshiki a look that said, "Let's talk privately."

Chapter 415: Ai Haibara's Close Stare

After putting on gloves and gas masks, Nakamori Ginzo and his subordinates walked into the smoking room with solemn expressions.

They followed the instructions over the phone, squatted down in front of the sofa, and sure enough, they found a glass test tube with a red Siamese cat label there.

Not daring to delay, they immediately retrieved, sealed, and photographed the items, sending the photos back to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Soon, the reply from the Metropolitan Police Department sent their hearts sinking – the test tube was the same as the glass tube left by the gang that attacked the research institute, and the police had never publicly disclosed any information about the glass tube, so it could be confirmed that the person on the phone was indeed the red Siamese cat.

"hateful!"

Enraged, Nakamori Ginzo slammed his fist on the table. "This means we can't focus on catching Kid! Immediately seal off the smoking room, just in case, and seal off this bar area too!"

His subordinates immediately began to act.

After a brief silence, Suzuki Jirokichi suddenly spoke up: "...Those guys are probably after me."

"The red Siamese cat has indeed been eyeing the conglomerate for a while."

"It's more than that."

Jirokichi Suzuki said, "Ten years ago, it was I who joined forces with the police to take them down, but I never expected that there would still be remnants left."

"The most urgent task now is to notify everyone on the airship."

Lin Jiashu said, "Since their target is this airship, and we don't know what they'll do next, we can't leave everyone in the dark without any precautions."

"That's true."

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Nakamori Ginzo nodded.

He quickly gathered everyone on the airship in the restaurant and announced the news.

The moment they heard that the red Siamese cat had actually released the deadly bacteria into the airship, everyone was filled with terror.

As everyone discussed the matter, finding it difficult to accept this fact, Nakamori Ginzo spoke up:

"In short, we have sealed off the smoking room on Deck B and the surrounding rooms, and we hope everyone will stay away from there. Of course, it's best not to move around unnecessarily right now, and also—"
