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

Moreover, Futaki and Teruhiro will be taking some action next, so I need to keep a closer eye on them!

With this in mind, Judy took the initiative to reveal the information to Yoshiki Hayashi.

She couldn't work with the other FBI agents on this mission—after all, Lin Jiashu had warned her beforehand that he didn't trust James Black and therefore didn't want to reveal the spy list to him.

Judy was halfway through composing her text message when she thought it might be more direct to just call him, so she simply found Lin Jiashu's number and dialed it.

"Hello, Miss Judy?"

Chapter 425: Conan: "So that's how it is!"

Drizzle Drizzle

Hot water was spraying from the showerhead.

The high school girl stood in the steamy bathroom, letting the water soak her entire body.

Her long, smooth black hair clung to her skin after being wet, and the warmth of the water tinged her fair complexion with a soft pink hue.

"..."

Xiao Lan looked down at him.

Well……

Isn't this a little different?

It looks a little swollen and red...

She couldn't help but raise her hand and press it gently.

The slight pain quickly made her realize that it was indeed different from usual.

"What is that?"

Xiao Lan immediately felt embarrassed.

She recalled that moment on the sofa that evening, when he looked up and saw the spot stained with glistening dye and even bearing tiny teeth marks...

No, I can't think about it anymore.

Her pretty face, which could be both happy and angry, quickly turned serious as she earnestly shifted her attention away.

But halfway through washing, I couldn't help but start having random thoughts again.

Just now, while we were eating, Ms. Judy called Yoshiki-san...

At that moment, Yoshiki's expression immediately became very serious, which made Xiaolan a little concerned.

Because they shouldn't have known each other before, right?

When I went to take photos with Sonoko that time, I unexpectedly bumped into Jodie-sensei at the arcade and then met Yoshiki-san. That was the first time they met... and after that, I don't think I heard anything about them interacting.

So why did Ms. Judy have Yoshiki's phone number and call him on her own initiative?

Xiaolan started to have wild thoughts.

The main reason was that she had heard that the atmosphere abroad was more open, and that so-called friends with benefits who were not lovers but maintained physical contact seemed to be quite common there, or one-night stands and such...?

But surely Ms. Judy isn't that kind of girl?

Ran remembered that Sonoko used to keep nagging about how Ms. Jodie always unconsciously used her body to seduce the boys at school. At the time, Ran thought she was exaggerating, but now she couldn't help but care a little...

Judging from Jia Shu's medical examination report, it seems that he has a strong desire for that kind of thing.

Furthermore, it seems that Ms. Judy also thinks that Yoshiki is very handsome and would suit her taste, so the reason why the two of them started to get in touch without anyone knowing is...?

Close the valve after a moment.

Xiaolan, who had dried herself off with a bath towel, looked at her phone as she came out.

Eri Kisaki: "Seriously, couldn't you have waited until I finished work and got home before coming to pick it up? Were you in such a hurry to go on a date with Koki alone? (laughs)"

What...?

Sure enough, he's going to make fun of himself again.

Xiao Lan pouted.

After giving a brief reply, she switched back to the text message interface with Hayashi Yoshiki. The last message was from Ran, who had just sent that she was going to take a shower, but he hadn't replied.

Ran Mouri: "I'm done washing, Yoshiki-nii."

Lin Jiashu: "Okay, I just parked my car too."

Ran Mouri: "Did Yoshiki-nii go home too?"

Lin Jiashu: "Oh, right."

Ran Mouri: "So you didn't go out with Ms. Jodie?"

Hayashi Yoshiki: "Why did you suddenly say that?"

Ran Mouri: "...No, it's just that Yoshiki-nii seemed really serious after receiving Jodie-sensei's call."

Lin Jiashu: "That's because I heard about some important things that need to be dealt with. You can think of it as a request, Ran. But I can't really explain Miss Judy's matter to you in detail, Ran."

So it was because of a commission?

It's true that Yoshiki-san opened a firm, and Ms. Judy suddenly resigned from her position at the school, as if something had happened to her...

The logically consistent explanation immediately made Xiaolan feel relieved.

really……

Jia Shu is not the kind of person who would do that kind of thing.

Ran Mouri: "I see. So, what are Yoshiki-nii planning to do next?"

Yoshiki Hayashi: "I'll take a shower later and then watch TV."

Lin Jiashu: "I'm sorry I scared you today... but do you understand? I like Ran more than Princess Mira."

"..."

These words instantly made Xiaolan blush again.

Sometimes, conversations between men and women need a touch of risqué to create excitement and get hearts racing. Lin Jiashu's deliberate revisiting of the past made Xiaolan realize that she had "done something wrong" today. This subtle stimulation and excitement made her feel both elated and shy, and she held her phone in her hand for a long time without being able to reply.

Ran Mouri: "...I understand."

Her face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

This excitement even gave her the urge to tell Lin Jiashu about her swollen body, but Xiaolan held back... that would be too much.

She pouted to herself.

Just as she was about to say something to Hayashi Yoshiki, Kogoro Mouri's urging voice from outside the door startled her, and she put down her phone.

I think I spent a bit too much time in the bathroom today.

She quickly tidied up, changed into her pajamas, and came out to see Kogoro Mouri standing at the door, looking drunk and yawning.

"Dad, you've been drinking again!"

"I just drank one more bottle of beer than usual, one bottle... After all, Asuka got another really good request, so I was happy." Kogoro Mouri tried to brush it off with a silly smile.

"It really is!"

How could someone looking like that have only drunk one more bottle?

The girl couldn't stand it, but unusually, she didn't say anything today and just walked out.

Conan, who was in the living room, noticed this and found it rather strange.

However, he was more concerned about something else at the moment, so he raised his head and asked Xiaolan in a childlike tone:

"Sister Xiaolan, did you go out with Brother Jiashu today?"

"Ah, um..." Xiaolan blushed slightly, but immediately replied, "It's because Mom had some new clothes to give me, so I asked Jiashu to take me to Mom's apartment... and then I had a meal with Mom."

The girl instinctively told a lie.

how to say……

She was a little embarrassed to let anyone know about her relationship with Jia Shu.

For example, if Sonoko, who has always liked Yoshiki, finds out about her relationship with Yoshiki, she'll probably say some really strange things and it might hurt her feelings... But these things have to be told sooner or later, and Ran is somewhat prepared for that.

The problem is Conan.

This kid seems to be particularly close to Shinichi, and it seems like the two of them contact each other frequently in private. If he finds out about her relationship with Yoshiki, it's as if Shinichi also knows... It's not that Ran has any feelings for Shinichi, but the inexplicable guilt she feels makes her want to play ostrich.

"Oh, I see!"

Conan relaxed.

Chapter 426: Have you considered investigating the agents who sacrificed their lives?

Judy Sterling kept a close eye on Futaki and Hikaru for the next few days.

But that will not yield any results.

He will soon die from the toxins in the pufferfish hot pot, and probably won't do anything special before then.

"..."

After finishing his workout and leaving the gym, Lin Jiashu glanced at his watch and quickened his pace slightly.

As I passed a coffee shop, a young man with a cigarette in his mouth came out of a phone booth.

He walked past Lin Jiashu with his hands in his pockets.

Just a short distance away, he casually tossed the crumpled piece of paper he was holding onto the ground.

Lin Jiashu stopped in his tracks.

"Honestly, littering is not a good habit..."

After bending down to pick up the crumpled paper, he didn't look at the young man and continued walking forward with a smile on his face.

The young man, completely unaware of this, continued to smoke nonchalantly. As he walked to the traffic light intersection behind him, he looked at the countdown timer on the opposite side of the road.

As the countdown went from 27 to 8, his face suddenly turned bright red, and then without warning, he collapsed straight down.

Lin Jiashu, who had already walked in another direction, unfolded the crumpled paper in his hand.

There's nothing on it.

The necessary condition for writing a name in the Death Note is that you must have the face of the person whose name is being written in your mind when you write the name.

Therefore, it can only be written by hand.

It's impossible to give a computer a command to control the pen and ink to write a name in the Death Note—even if the computer monitor displays a picture of the person whose name is being written on it.

However, the method of writing the name with invisible ink first and then making it visible with high temperature can be successful.

Lin Jiashu was therefore curious whether it would be effective if A wrote B's name with invisible ink, then controlled A to die first, and then B's name was made visible by high temperature.

After all, before the invisible handwriting becomes visible, the record written by A is equivalent to "not existing". When you make it visible with a lighter, you can't think about the face of the person whose name was written on it.

The young man from earlier was a juvenile delinquent.

When he was a minor, he and his friends did some things that were too unbearable to read. As for his other companion, Lin Jiashu deliberately only knew his name and not what he looked like.

In this way, the determination of whether the invisible ink has become visible is no longer within your control.

"...We'll know the answer later."

By using a lighter to heat up the invisible ink to make the writing visible, Lin Jiashu destroyed the page.

boom!

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

On the bustling streets of Shibuya, at 8:11 a.m., a human figure completed its freefall from the 28th floor.

Passersby screamed.

Lin Jiashu stood at a distance. Even though he hadn't seen the whole story of the suicide, he could understand it just by looking at the commotion over there.

The test was successful.
