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

"In short, I will report this matter to higher authorities."

James Black said.

The group stayed at the accident scene for a long time until the police cleared the scene, after which they gradually prepared to leave.

Lin Jiashu got into his car.

But just as he started his car, Judy came over and knocked on his window again.

"Is there something you need, Miss Judy?"

“I have something I'd like to discuss with you, Mr. Lin, and I'd like to hear your thoughts,” Judy said, a calm smile on her face. “Could you please give me a ride home if you're passing by?”

"Ok."

Lin Jiashu smiled and unlocked the car, and Judy quickly went around to the passenger side and got in.

Behind the white Mercedes E-W201, Carmel, who had picked up James Black, started his car. He looked at Judy getting into Lin Jiashu's car with some curiosity: "Is there something else Judy wants to do?"

"I don't know either. Let her go do her own thing. Let's go back first."

As James Black spoke, his eyes drifted to Conan, who was being pulled onto the motorcycle by Sera Masumi and driven away, his gaze somewhat lost in thought.

Shinichi Kudo, APTX4869...

Rejuvenation, what a wonderful phrase!

For an ordinary person, James Black's early fifties are not considered old.

However, his hair and beard had already turned white.

The energy of a person in their fifties is incomparable to that of a person in their twenties, even if they maintain exercise and actively consume the necessary nutrients, their energy in all aspects is far from what it was when they were young.

There was a time when he could chase criminals until they were brought to justice, but now he is just a middle-aged man whose life is on the decline.

James Black thought of the woman codenamed Vermouth.

That woman who seems to never age...

That's exactly the state James Black wanted.

Therefore, he reached a cooperation agreement with Rum.

Because he could see that Rum was a man who refused to be subservient to others, and that he shared the same desire for APTX4869—that man had always longed to use the power of APTX4869 to restore his powerless left eye.

Interestingly, Karasuma Renya didn't seem to want him to have his way—although he was the second-in-command, Rum was always on Karasuma Renya's guard against in various ways.

(Was this car accident also related to the guy who killed Shuichi Akai?)

As the vehicle drove away, James looked at the scene and thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Lin Jiashu took Judy on a different path.

He had already heard about the diary from Judy on the way.

"I see. The A in the diary refers to Shuichi Akai."

He gripped the steering wheel, looking ahead as he drove, and said, "Although I've never met this FBI agent, judging from the information in this diary, he must be an excellent and capable guy... What a pity, I might have gotten along very well with him."

"Yes."

Judy's tone was somewhat heavy. Her light blue eyes were fixed on the diary on her lap. She waited until Lin Jiashu stopped at the traffic light before handing the notebook to him. "I want Mr. Lin to see if he can glean anything from this notebook, just like he did with Hunter's notebook the other day."

"...Okay, but don't get your hopes up too high. To be honest, I wasn't really sure about my speculation about Hunter's notebook last time."

Lin Jiashu said with a smile.

He took the notes and looked at them carefully. When the traffic light turned green, he quickly pulled over to the side of the road to take a closer look.

I took out the flashlight I carried in the car and flipped through the pages from the first page to the last, even the blank pages that weren't written on, but I couldn't find anything special besides the information already recorded.

"This diary is quite old, and there aren't any obvious signs of wear and tear, but I think this is probably all that's left in it..."

He paused halfway through his relaxed speech, when he turned to the last blank page of the diary.

Judy was also taken aback.

—Under the light of the flashlight, the last page of the notebook showed some unnatural marks.

Chapter 449: Don't overthink it, Jundu!

Under the intense light, a strange shadow appeared in the center of the beige paper.

This strange phenomenon caught Judy Starling's attention.

Upon returning home, she immediately went to her desk, turned on the lamp, and carefully examined her diary under the light.

The result was the same, except that the last page of the diary was a little strange.

However, the paper still feels very smooth to the touch.

"..."

Judy Sterling quickly realized something.

In an intelligence organization like the FBI, the existence of invisible ink is not surprising. An agent with certain experience like Io Hodgson could very well use this method if he really wanted to convey a message through his diary.

Judy Sterling immediately grabbed a UV light, but when that didn't work, she grabbed a lighter.

As the words gradually emerged under the heat of the lighter's flame, her expression froze:

Watch out for James Black!

The car accident that occurred on the city expressway in Bunkyo Ward has dominated the news for several days, and the list of people who died in the accident has been confirmed by the police.

We currently strongly suspect this is a revenge attack.

[The deceased in this car accident, Jack Waltz, was a former Navy SEAL captain. It is reported that he had a violent altercation eight years ago with one of his snipers, Timothy Hunter.]

[About Timothy Hunter's life...]

【…】

【…】

Real estate developer Hiroaki Tengbo, investment company president Jin Moriyama, and former U.S. soldier Bill Murphy, whose case was widely discussed a few days ago, are all victims of this revenge case.

Regardless of the pretext, the perpetrator disregarded Japanese law, implicated numerous innocent individuals, and caused such enormous and egregious damage and impact on Japanese society. We will never tolerate this.

Tokyo police and U.S. officials have formed a special investigation team, and it is believed that the perpetrator will be apprehended soon.

【…】

【…】

These past few days, the TV has been playing the same old things over and over again.

Gin stared coldly at the television until the police appeared on stage to speak, at which point he glanced at Yoshiki Hayashi and asked, "You did it, didn't you?"

His voice sent chills down your spine.

A massive chemical truck explosion, a large-scale car accident caused by a series of chain reactions... This kind of thing doesn't even require thinking; even vodka can point the finger at Cointreau.

"Don't always suspect me whenever there's a major unexpected incident."

Lin Jiashu didn't care about Gin's cold gaze.

Looking at the drinks on the bar, as if wanting to observe them more closely, his eyes narrowed gently, and a smile appeared on his lips: "If Chianti's operation goes smoothly, then all of this I've prepared will be useless, won't it?"

"Humph"

Upon hearing the name Chianti, Gin's expression immediately turned sour.

That woman has been going crazy lately because of the sniper incident at the Suzuki Tower... Of course, it's more likely that she can't accept the shame of failing to kill Jack Waltz.

I should have left this to Cohen.

"Has the identity of the sniper at Blue Sky Pavilion been identified?"

"What are you doing, trying to avenge Chianti?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Gin gave Yoshiki a sharp look.

A sniper who could snipe Chianti under those conditions... even though he didn't succeed, he was very close to hitting him. In other words, he was very close to being a sniper who could hit Shuichi Akai. Of course, Gin would be interested in him.

If it could be absorbed into the organization...

"Unfortunately, my original plan was to wait until Chianti killed Jack Waltz, then use that to provoke the sniper and lure him to that section of the road to kill him."

As he said this, Lin Jiashu's eyes clouded over, but it was quickly replaced by a bright smile: "But since Chianti failed, we have no choice but to use it on Mr. Waltz."

Although it was only fleeting, Gin did not miss this detail.

Would this murderer feel extremely unhappy or even go crazy if the person he planned to kill got away?

That's why they rushed to use the unexpected event originally intended for the mysterious sniper on Jack Waltz.

Gin hadn't forgotten the first time he witnessed Yoshiki Hayashi's abilities, and the boy's reaction, which seemed to be a perfectionist or obsessive-compulsive disorder...

Seeing Lin Jiashu's smiling face, Gin couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He's quite the actor.

"What's wrong, Mr. Vodka?"

"N-nothing."

Vodka, startled by the sudden call, quickly put on an honest smile and denied it.

But Lin Jiashu stared straight at him, her eyes noticeably narrowing.

"I have a feeling that you're thinking something rude."

"H-How could this be!" Vodka's voice changed, his tone becoming dry: "Don't overthink it, Cointreau!"

"Then why are you sweating so much?"

"I...I...this is—"

"Stop teasing Vodka." Gin interrupted Vodka's startled voice, his tone turning distorted with fear, and said coldly, "Don't make any rash moves after finding out that sniper's identity. The organization is very interested in him."

"Alright... but instead of having me investigate, it might be easier to lure them in by using Chianti as bait."

Upon hearing Lin Jiashu's words, Gin actually lowered his head and began to ponder the feasibility of the matter.

Meanwhile, Vodka wiped his forehead with a tissue and gave his older brother a grateful look: he had just been thinking that Jundu was really crazy. The sniper hadn't provoked him at all, yet he was inexplicably prevented from getting revenge and was even plotted to be killed... Just how wronged was this guy's life!

However, he only dared to secretly stand up for others in his heart.

If I had really offended Jundu, even my elder brother might not have been able to protect me...

Behind his sunglasses, he cautiously watched as Lin Jiashu picked up his glass of wine and drank it down.

Are we going back?

"Yeah, I have things to do when I get back later, and it'll be easier to get a taxi if I go earlier."

Lin Jiashu said as he stood up from the bar.

Gin remained silent.

Although he felt it was a bit unreasonable that Jundu, a member of a prestigious organization, wouldn't dare to drive after drinking... well, given his special status, there wasn't much he could say.

After leaving the bar run by the organization, Lin Jiashu took out his phone and glanced at it.

Judy: The last page of the diary was printed with invisible ink, and I've restored the font.

"..."

Seeing the text message she sent that went nowhere, Lin Jiashu couldn't help but smile.

Everything went very smoothly.

Everything went so smoothly that even he was somewhat surprised.
