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

Then he turned around, grinned at Lin Jiashu, and said, "Really, you're amazing! Detective Lin, it's absolutely true that you're a world-class detective. Thank you!"

As the man spoke, he picked up a gun and pointed it at his temple.

"don't want……"

Lin Jiashu immediately spoke.

He ran forward to try and stop Sawakuri Isao's actions, however,

boom!

A bullet pierced through Sawakuri Isao's head.

A few drops of blood splattered onto Lin Jiashu's face, while the man's corpse, just a step away from him, collapsed like a limp bundle of dry grass.

pat.

The sound of the body falling was like a blow to everyone's heart.

Lin Jiashu stared at the two corpses on the ground.

Until a long time had passed,

He didn't make a move until the police rushed over.

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.

Police quickly arrived, dragged away the bodies of Yuji Shinobu and Sawa Kuri Isao, and took everyone to the Metropolitan Police Department to give statements.

With numerous eyewitnesses at the scene and no suspicious points in the case itself, it could be closed and filed quickly after being processed.

"I'd say your ability to attract cases is getting more and more outrageous, isn't it? This time you even managed to attract cases directly to your own firm."

"I don't want this to happen to me either, Inspector Megure!"

"Really are……"

Inspector Megure squinted at Kogoro Mouri in front of him.

He then dropped the subject and turned to Lin Jiashu on the other side: "How is Brother Lin doing?"

"I do not know."

Kogoro Mouri looked at Yoshiki Hayashi, his expression becoming more serious: "However, on the way to the Metropolitan Police Department, he seemed to be fine on the surface."

"Sigh, I hope he doesn't overthink things that aren't necessary."

At this point, Inspector Megure suddenly paused, "Wait a minute, I call him Brother Lin, but he calls you Uncle... It makes me seem like I'm a head shorter than you."

"Haha, that's a matter of individual interpretation, Inspector Megure!"

Kogoro Mouri immediately broke into an awkward laugh.

the other side,

Lin Jiashu walked up to the vending machine and put a few coins in.

"Would you like something to drink? It's on me."

He looked at Ran and Sera Masumi who were following him with a smile.

"Jiashu-ge, are you alright?"

"Of course it's fine."

Lin Jiashu smiled gently.

Sera Masumi remained silent, while Ran looked at Hayashi Yoshiki with a melancholy frown.

But before she could speak, Amuro Tooru and Koshimizu Nanatsuki walked over.

Amuro Tooru immediately said, "Sorry, Boss."

"What are you saying right off the bat, Mr. Amuro?"

"If I hadn't given the wrong answer, that scene might not have happened."

"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Amuro."

Lin Jiashu seemed speechless. He said softly, "This was an unavoidable result, and perhaps the best outcome... Compared to Ze Lixun detonating the bomb and causing the deaths of everyone in the agency, this result is already very good. After all, there was no other way to break the deadlock at the time. When faced with a choice between two options, one should naturally choose the less serious one."

"By the way, would you like something to drink? I think I have quite a bit of change on me today."

"How about coffee? The vending machines around the Metropolitan Police Department seem to have a good selection of coffee."

He took out a coin as he spoke.

Amuro Tooru frowned.

At that moment, Xiaolan reached out and cupped Lin Jiashu's cheeks. As he looked surprised, she said earnestly:

"Stop laughing, Jia Shu."

"what?"

"...How could such a gentle Yoshiki-nii still be smiling nonchalantly after encountering something like this? So, stop making that expression just to reassure us."

She said softly.

Lin Jiashu did not respond, but just stared at her.

"Yes."

At this moment, Nanatsuki Koshimizu spoke in a gentle voice:

"But what Mr. Lin just said is not wrong. This is the best outcome. Mr. Lin and everyone else have tried their best, but there is nothing we can do about this result."

Today's events reminded her of herself.

Sawakuri Isao was seeking revenge for his sister, while she was seeking revenge for her friend.

At the time, Nanatsuki Koshimizu was also thinking that after killing the target she wanted revenge on, she would also ruin her future and past pride... But before the plan could be implemented, Yoshiki Hayashi saw through her method and stopped her.

Looking back, Nanatsuki Koshimizu now only feels lucky.

But Isao Sawakuri's path led to a completely different outcome.

"I understand. Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

Lin Jiashu smiled and pressed the coffee button on the vending machine: "In that case, I won't offer you any drinks."

"What? I should have waited until I got the drinks before comforting Yoshiki-nii."

"Come on, bestselling novelists must be very rich, right?"

Sera Masumi was also grinning at this moment.

Although it was her first time meeting Lin Jiashu, she had learned about him to some extent due to his popularity... Although what happened today was a headache, it also made her realize that Lin Jiashu's abilities were indeed impressive.

They figured out the case so easily.

"No way, it's my fault for not answering me when I asked you guys if you wanted to drink."

Lin Jiashu smiled.

"Since the BOSS isn't going to treat us, then I'll treat you."

As Amuro Tooru spoke, he took out his wallet and added, "Of course, I'll secretly put it into the firm's public account afterwards."

"Wait, don't talk like you're an expert at this kind of thing."

Amuro Toru smiled but remained silent.

Seeing that Lin Jiashu didn't seem to care about the two lives, Xiaolan's melancholy brows relaxed slightly.

But I still feel a little uneasy.

We need to think of a solution.

She thought to herself.

Chapter 433: "Good Boy"

The Mori Detective Agency has two more corpses today.

Although the police removed the body immediately after completing the investigation and evidence collection, the traces left behind will not disappear.

The ceiling riddled with bullet holes, blood splattered on the desk and seeping into the floor—a murder had occurred in her own home, where she had lived since childhood. Even though Xiaolan had seen countless corpses, she found it hard to accept.

Ultimately, she was just a 16-year-old high school girl.

Because of her gentle personality and caring nature, people often subconsciously overlook her age, but today Kogoro Mouri reacted very quickly.

"Xiao Lan, I think you should stay at your mom's place for today. Come back here after you've tidied up the house."

"Okay, Dad."

Xiao Lan was not stubborn.

After telling Eri about it over the phone, she went to Mihana Second Apartment with Yoshiki Hayashi.

Eri was quite happy when her daughter came over.

She suggested they have something to eat together later, but Lin Jiashu politely declined with a smile and went straight back to his room.

Looking at his retreating figure, Xiaolan felt a little worried.

"Brother Jiashu, you still seem to care a lot about what happened today..."

"It's all your unreliable father's fault. He even managed to bring this incident into our own home this time."

Eri Kisaki said somewhat irritably, "Why don't you move in with me and stay here permanently, Ran? Otherwise, I'm really worried that something like this might happen one day."

"How can you blame Dad for this?"

Xiao Lan sighed helplessly.

Seeing this, Eri Kisaki still had some objections, but she didn't say anything more.

"Let Xiaoshu calm down first... We'll ask him again later."

"Ah."

The mother and daughter put the matter aside for the time being.

The rest of the time was spent exchanging information about our recent lives and studies.

Xiaolan has taken a shower.

Because the situation was sudden and she hadn't brought her textbooks to study, she felt inexplicably uneasy watching her mother looking at the case files.

I can't even watch TV anymore.

"If you're really worried, go and take a look."

Eri noticed Ran's absent-mindedness, adjusted her glasses, and smiled, "Since we're so close by, and I need to prepare materials for tomorrow's court hearing, let's go call Xiaoshu over and have a late-night snack together around 10 pm."

"Do you have a lawsuit to fight tomorrow?"

"Yes, but it's just a minor lawsuit, no need to worry."

"Good~"

Eri's confident smile made Ran feel very at ease.

She got up and walked to the entrance hall, going directly to the house of Lin Jiashu who lived next door.

Press the doorbell

The door opened quickly.

"Xiao Lan?"

“My mother said she needs to prepare materials for tomorrow’s court hearing, and asked me to come here first to bother Jia Shu Ge.”

The girl, with her hands behind her back, spoke in a clear, crisp voice.

"...Is that so?"

Although he knew it was an excuse, Lin Jiashu still smiled and moved aside.

As they walked into the house together, Xiao Lan blushed again as she looked at Lin Jiashu's back, who was wearing only a thin T-shirt.

A man and a woman alone together late at night...

She only noticed how unusually quiet it was when she entered the living room.
