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

Shinichi Kudo's expression froze.

Before him, Hayashi Yoshiki's handsome face wore a gentle smile as he looked at Kudo Shinichi and said, "I've wanted to do this for a long time. Come on, please raise your other hand as well."

"..."

Shinichi Kudo hesitated for a moment.

He had a gun hidden on him just in case, but things seemed to be going as he wished... it seemed he didn't need the gun anymore.

He then raised his other hand.

Without hesitation, Lin Jiashu handcuffed his other hand as well, so that he wouldn't have to worry about him doing anything drastic.

With tears still streaming down his face, he seemed a little timid: "...What will happen to me next?"

"That's not something I should be thinking about, Makoto Uta."

Upon hearing this name, Shinichi Kudo... no, Makoto Yata's face froze completely, his ashen face contorting for a moment.

Chapter 460: "Shinichi, I have something I want to tell you."

"That's not something I should be thinking about, Makoto Uta."

Hayashi Yoshiki's words immediately froze Yata Makoto's face.

His face, so strikingly similar to Shinichi Kudo's, first turned ashen and then contorted, yet even then, he still tried to feign innocence:

"What are you talking about? Makoto Yata is referring to—"

"Stop making such pointless excuses, okay?"

Lin Jiashu said with a smile.

His face wore a gentle and friendly smile, and his voice was also very approachable, but what he said left Makoto Yata feeling like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat:

"Look, your hands are already handcuffed."

"..."

Makoto Yata's face turned ashen.

He looked at the handcuffs on his hands, and although he still had a gun tucked into his waistband... he couldn't use anything anymore.

"Young Master Chengren?"

Seeing his reaction, village police officer Shiroyama Kazuma finally confirmed that what Hayashi Yoshiki said was true.

This was somewhat unbelievable to him.

"Cosmetic surgery can change your face, but it can't replace your fingerprints. If that doesn't work, let's do a fingerprint analysis... Even though it's been a year, there should still be quite a few things in this house with Makoto's fingerprints on them."

Failed.

At this point, it's clear that all your plans have failed.

Makoto Yata stared intently at Yoshiki Hayashi.

Ran stood beside him, watching him glare fiercely at Yoshiki-san with Shinichi Kudo's face, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

Just as she was lost in thought, a figure silently walked in from outside the door.

She had short, silver hair and wore strange, martial arts-like clothing...

"It seems the matter has been resolved."

A strange person walked in, and the sound he made startled everyone present.

Makoto Yata's eyes immediately filled with hatred.

Without any unnecessary words, Shinichi Kudo ripped off his silver wig, revealing his own face.

Heiji Hattori, seeing his best friend, looked delighted.

But Shinichi Kudo ignored him, looking with pity at Makoto Yata, whose face now looked exactly like his own... Then he turned around and looked at the girl he saw often but who he longed for day and night.

Xiao Lan looked at him in surprise.

Yesterday, she felt nothing at all while facing the fake Shinichi Kudo.

At that time, she felt that she really had no more feelings for the other person, and thus easily confirmed her feelings. She was actually quite happy at that time.

But now, the real Shinichi Kudo has appeared.

This made Xiaolan's heart tighten slightly.

It's hard to say whether she felt a slight ripple in her heart, but at that moment, the first person she thought of was Hayashi Yoshiki.

In the quiet of last night,

In that dimly lit room, where only the two of them were alone.

He was being kissed forcefully by Yoshiki-san.

Not only her chest, but also her lower abdomen and even her groin were captivated by his gentle lips.

Xiaolan could never forget the moment when he lifted her legs with one hand, grabbed her waist with the other, and brought his handsome face close to hers as she lay down—

The impact of this kind of experience is enormous for any girl experiencing it for the first time.

Those surreal scenes have played out countless times in her mind today. If today's situation hadn't been so unusual, she probably would have been lost in thought for a long time throughout the day.

Xiaolan has always been a very conservative girl when it comes to relationships.

Once she crosses a certain line, given her personality, she will be completely devoted to that person.

Having done such a thing with Yoshiki-san, it's impossible for him to have any further contact with Shinichi.

This is not only unfair to Yoshiki, but also to Shinichi...

Her thoughts were so firm and natural.

However, seeing that her long-lost childhood sweetheart was safe and sound and had indeed not committed any crime, she was quite happy for him.

"Long time no see, Shinichi..."

"Yes."

Seeing her bright and beautiful smile, Shinichi Kudo nodded gently.

Since Makoto's hands were already cuffed and he couldn't pose any other threat, Shinichi Kudo decided to clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible, given the other's hateful gaze.

The matter is actually not complicated.

There was no particular method used in this case. If one had to name one, it would be Makoto Yata's face.

A year ago, Shinichi Kudo came to investigate the murder of the village chief and his wife.

At the time, Makoto Yata was a loyal fan of Shinichi Kudo and tried his best to help him find out the truth. However, his deduction was that the village chief of Hihara had become despondent due to cancer, killed his wife, and then committed suicide. How could Makoto Yata possibly tolerate this?

After all, it was the village chief who adopted him and loved him like his own son. He was also the most respected person in the village. Moreover, the medical examination results at the time showed that the village chief's tumor was benign. He was so happy to hear this that he laughed heartily. How could he possibly kill his wife and then commit suicide because of this?

Therefore, Makoto Yata turned to the dark side.

As a fan, he decided to ruin Shinichi Kudo. After getting plastic surgery to look like him, he planned to destroy Shinichi's reputation and then commit suicide.

But the truth from a year ago was something Shinichi Kudo intentionally concealed.

—The village chief's physical examination results were encouraging, but the examination also revealed something else: he has type AB blood.

His wife has type O blood, and so does his son, Daiki Nihara.

According to Mendel's laws of inheritance, a union between someone with blood type AB and someone with blood type O will not produce a child with blood type O... It was because of this that the village chief of Nichihara killed his wife and then committed suicide.

The truth of the matter was that Shinichi Kudo had actually asked the village police officer Kazuma Shiroyama to tell Makoto Yata back then, and the latter did so... However, Makoto Yata was so shocked at the time that he didn't hear what Kazuma Shiroyama said clearly, which led to this misunderstanding.

After the incident, everyone looked at Makoto Yata, who was kneeling there and sobbing uncontrollably, with complicated expressions, until he was taken away by the police...

"Xiao Lan".

Shinichi Kudo then turned his attention back to Ran.

He walked over to her, as if he had a lot to say to her.

Xiao Lan smiled faintly.

"I didn't expect you to actually show up here, Shinichi."

"Yes, it just so happened that there was an opportunity..."

How have you been lately?

"Hmm, it's alright."

Feeling inexplicably a little uncomfortable, but Shinichi Kudo clearly remembered that he had always used the excuse of being busy investigating cases, so he smiled and said, "I have been busy investigating cases."

"As expected of Shinichi, you always have so many cases to investigate."

"..."

Is it just my imagination?

Xiao Lan sounded somewhat relieved.

Shinichi Kudo felt inexplicably bothered, and then he noticed that Ran's gaze seemed to pass over him and land on someone else.

He followed her gaze and saw Lin Jiashu.

Xiaolan glanced at it, smiled briefly, and then quickly looked away.

The girl gracefully placed her hands behind her back, pursed her lips, and suddenly became fully prepared, her bright and beautiful eyes staring straight at Shinichi Kudo:

"Um, Shinichi, there's something I want to tell you..."

Chapter 461: Physical Examination

High-speed trains travel between the city's railway tracks.

The summer sun refracted into dazzling light on the glass facades of the skyscrapers. On this hot afternoon, a sightseeing elevator was slowly ascending to the top of the building.

"Kenta Kaminishikawahara..."

Across from the office building where the ascending sightseeing elevator was located, on the rooftop of a high-rise building 760 yards away, a lean-built man set up a sniper rifle and used the scope to watch the pot-bellied businessman chatting with someone in the sightseeing elevator.

Kevin Yoshino recalled the information he had received.

Kenta Kamishiro Kawahara is a real estate developer who never leaves any room for compromise in his actions.

He was adept at using, and not limited to, threats, intimidation, and violence, to forcibly demolish residents' houses for real estate development. After amassing a fortune, he used his wealth to pave the way for his own tyranny.

A scumbag whose death would only bring more applause and cheers.

Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.

The next second, a bloody hole suddenly appeared in the head of the middle-aged man who was talking to someone in the sightseeing elevator. The bullet that pierced his skull brought out blood and splattered it onto the elevator panel.

At the same time, the bullet seemed to have pierced through part of the elevator panel, causing the continuously rising floor numbers on the panel to become chaotic. Then, the sightseeing elevator, which had been ascending at a steady speed, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Through the scope, another passenger in the elevator was seen to be in a state of panic. He first covered his head and tried to hide, then kept banging on the control panel of the sightseeing elevator, trying to escape.

suddenly……

Under his continuous pounding, the sightseeing elevator seemed to malfunction and plummeted to the ground at a terrifying speed.

"..."

After confirming the man's death, Kevin Yoshino fell silent for a moment.

It's happening again...

Whenever he kills a target with a sniper rifle, others on the scene seem to die as if a chain reaction has occurred because of his sniping.

How is it done?

Even though it was a sweltering summer afternoon, Kevin Yoshino felt a chill creeping into his body.

After pondering for a long time, he quickly packed up his gun and left the scene.

After getting on his motorcycle and leaving, he made a phone call.

"That guy is dead."
