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

Chapter 464: Nakamori Ginzo's Request

[A sniping incident occurred in front of the Otomo Department Store in Beikacho at 20:27 on August 10.]

The deceased, Shima Kage Takuma, was 41 years old and worked as a photographer.

[At the time of the incident, the deceased was walking with a female companion in front of the Otomo Department Store when he was struck in the head by a bullet flying from an adjacent building and died instantly.]

According to our reporter's investigation, photographer Takuma Shima has repeatedly used deception and unauthorized photography to obtain private photos of multiple women, and then used these photos to blackmail them, with the total amount involved reaching 2.71 million yen.

In the appliance store windows along the street, neatly arranged television sets were all broadcasting news from Nichiri TV.

Passersby occasionally stopped to watch.

Among the group of people walking together, some noticed this information on their phones and casually remarked, "Have there been more sniping incidents lately?"

"Yeah, and it seems like all the dead were some kind of monstrous scum."

"Could it be that some righteous hero is punishing these guys?"

"That's hilarious!"

"I actually think that if that's the case, it's a good thing..."

A white Mercedes-Benz E-210W travels through the streets.

Taking advantage of the last red light, Lin Jiashu took a moment to send a text message on his phone, and then stepped on the gas after the red light ended, drove into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and parked his car.

Good morning, Mr. Lin.

"Good morning."

Would you like a can of coffee?

"Thank you, but I'll call it a day for now."

As he entered the Metropolitan Police Department, many people greeted him.

Lin Jiashu smiled and replied to each question, then walked into an inconspicuous office.

"Advisor, this is the case details from last night... Although there were no unexpected deaths this time, considering the connection between the previous sniper incidents and accidents, we still retrieved the information for this simple sniper case."

"Thank you, you've worked hard."

Lin Jiashu took the documents and began to review them.

There's not much to see in sniper case files. The police simply deduce the possible sniper location based on the environment, lighting, and the bullets left behind, and then investigate the victim's relationships to determine if it was a revenge killing...

However, Kevin Yoshino's sniping range was extremely long and he was skilled at counter-surveillance, so the police were unable to obtain any useful information.

The police officer who handed over the documents looked at Lin Jiashu's serious expression and sighed in a low voice: "It's a pity that the higher-ups have reduced our task force to this small-scale operation. Forget about conducting any investigations, we can only keep up with the killer and keep files, we can't do anything else."

"There's no need to be discouraged. After all, the police leadership should always consider the issue of manpower."

Lin Jiashu smiled.

"I mainly feel bad that the consultants have been working so hard, while the police have been lagging behind in these matters..."

The officer scratched the back of his head.

He's a young man, even younger than Wataru Takagi, and his ideas in various aspects are indeed somewhat immature.

Lin Jiashu smiled.

“This isn’t about holding us back; keeping records is also very important. A lot of information, when accumulated, can become reliable data… Just like some long-standing cold cases, in the end, we still have to rely on the records from back then to find clues. I’m asking you to do this work; do you find it tedious?”

"What are you saying? I'm just an office worker."

"so……"

After asking the other party to put the documents away, Lin Jiashu left the office.

But when I came out, I heard some commotion inside the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Yes! Just wait for our good news. This plan is foolproof. I will definitely catch Phantom Thief Kid!"

A familiar voice reached my ears.

Nakamori Ginzo walked out of the office with high spirits, and his eyes lit up when he saw Hayashi Yoshiki standing in the corridor.

"Hey! Wait, Mr. Lin!"

He strode over.

"Officer Nakamori."

Lin Jiashu smiled and asked, "Is Phantom Thief Kid up to something again?"

"Ah, that's right!"

It was hard to tell whether Nakamori Ginzo's expression was one of excitement or annoyance.

He was always annoyed by Kaito Kid's audacity, but if Kaito Kid really went into seclusion, he would become depressed... In short, he was both afraid that he wouldn't come and afraid that he would cause trouble.

"This guy has his eye on the gems kept at the Mika Museum, and he even sent a notice threatening to steal from Yi Lin's father, Qi Siwu Lu... I'm definitely going to arrest him this time!"

Nakamori Ginzo clenched his fist with high spirits, as if he had made a firm decision... He stared intently at Hayashi Yoshiki: "Mr. Hayashi, we failed to catch this guy on the Suzuki airship last time. I wonder if you would be interested in lending a hand this time?"

Throughout his pursuit of Kaito Kid, Ginzo Nakamori has never considered relying on others. Although he occasionally collaborates with others, he seems to prefer to capture him on his own, relying on the capabilities of the police.

However, if it were to cooperate with Yoshiki Hayashi, Ginzo Nakamori would welcome it with open arms... After all, the other party was not as arrogant as those other detectives with their noses in the air. He was not only friendly and polite to him, but also handed over the captured Phantom Thief Kid to him twice. Even after he accidentally let Phantom Thief Kid escape, he did not complain at all... What a magnanimous heart!

"...Shall I lend a hand?" Lin Jiashu pondered for a moment.

"Come on, Mr. Lin! I've prepared a new secret weapon this time, and with you filling in the gaps, we're sure to catch that annoying thief this time!"

"A secret weapon...?"

"Hahaha, this time I'm going to—"

Seeing Lin Jiashu's curious gaze, Nakamori Ginzo was about to show off his plan, but he stopped halfway through his sentence and coughed, "Excuse me, Mr. Lin, you wouldn't mind if I confirmed that you're not Kaito Kid, would you?"

"...If I were to say I mind now, Officer Nakamori probably wouldn't let me go, would he?"

"Haha, how could that be?"

Upon hearing Hayashi Yoshiki's words, Nakamori Ginzo laughed outwardly, but his eyes became deep and unfathomable.

...Kaito Kid has done this many times before, disguising himself as a police officer to infiltrate the Metropolitan Police Department or his subordinates, so he is now excessively cautious.

Having no other choice, Lin Jiashu had to pull his own face to prove his innocence.

Once he confirmed that everything was alright, Nakamori Ginzo immediately began to enthusiastically recount his plan, which surprised Hayashi Yoshiki.

He didn't recognize the gems at the Beika Museum, but when he heard about Nakamori Ginzo's arrangements... so it was about this incident?

He became quite interested.

Chapter 465: Dear Jiashu, are you fully prepared for tonight's operation?

There were no stars in sight, only an exceptionally bright full moon.

The roads around the Mihana Museum were completely closed to traffic by the police two hours earlier. Even though it wasn't late at night, the complete silence of the area contrasted strangely with the bustling night view in the distance.

The police continued to arrive at the scene with the special vehicles they had prepared for the operation.

呲!

After the special vehicle, which resembles a small truck, stops, the gates at the four corners of the vehicle open, and the anchor posts extending from them fall to the ground, raising the chassis of the vehicle.

"This is number 4, secured!"

"This is number 2, secured!"

"..."

"..."

Listening to the reports from the officers in the command vehicle, Nakamori Ginzo, standing in front of the Beika Bank, revealed a smug smile.

Everything is proceeding smoothly, and nothing could be more exciting than this.

He took out his walkie-talkie and asked the officers on the other side, "Assault team, what's the situation inside?"

The report states that, as the police inspector said, all security systems in the museum have been compromised!

"What about diamonds?"

"It's gone!" The officer's voice was somewhat panicked: the display case was damaged, and the diamonds were nowhere to be found!

Upon hearing this information, Nakamori Ginzo remained calm. Instead, he smiled excitedly and looked at Hayashi Yoshiki standing to the side: "Just as we expected, Mr. Hayashi."

"Indeed, Officer Nakamori's strategy this time is completely different from the past."

Lin Jiashu smiled.

His gaze swept past the special vehicles ahead and landed on the onlookers, who were kept behind the police cordon. Everyone was eagerly anticipating the appearance of Phantom Thief Kid, and many fans were holding up glow sticks and openly displaying banners.

Lin Jiashu was somewhat speechless.

However, when he saw reporters and photographers pointing their lenses in his direction, he smiled and made a subtle peace sign at the camera.

"very good!"

Nakamori Ginzo clenched his fist and ordered into the walkie-talkie, "Kaito Kid is definitely still in the building. Don't lower your voice, just force the target upstairs."

Police officers at the museum immediately took action.

Dozens of police officers, armed with guns equipped with tranquilizer darts, quickly closed off the space inside the museum. Some of them were also equipped with infrared detectors, meticulously searching for possible hiding places of Phantom Thief Kid. Although the police officers under Nakamori Ginzo were repeatedly outwitted by Phantom Thief Kid, they were not without their own growth.

"Mr. Lin, let's double-check the battle plan."

"Next, we'll force Kaito Kid into the museum and he'll have to use a hang glider to escape. Once he takes off, the jet streams from the four cars will interfere with his hang glider and blow him toward the Tsukishima River... Then, we'll scoop him up with a net, just like in a goldfish scooping game at a festival."

"There won't be any problems! Today is the day he can't escape!"

Instead of racking his brains to stop Phantom Thief Kid from stealing the jewels, he focused all his efforts on blocking Phantom Thief Kid's escape routes... This is Nakamori Ginzo's strategy this time!

“That’s truly remarkable, Inspector Nakamori. In that case, I probably won’t need my next plan.”

"Do you have any further plans?" Nakamori Ginzo asked, surprised but incredibly confident. "I'm absolutely confident this time. After all, the more Kaito Kid likes to show off, the less he can withstand the wind!"

"Kid!" "Kid!" "Phantom Thief Kid!!!" "He's here!!"

Suddenly, the fans outside the cordon in the distance erupted in excited shouts.

Under the bright full moon, Phantom Thief Kid, cornered by the police on the museum rooftop, stood with his feet on the stone threshold, hands in his pockets, looking down at the ground, his white cloak fluttering in the wind.

"I'll accept this diamond."

He curled his lips into a smile, showing off the diamond that had fallen into his hand.

The fans outside the cordon immediately erupted in excited screams.

Amidst the crowd, Kaito Kuroba glared disapprovingly at Kaito Kid, who was posing arrogantly on the rooftop, and muttered, "Who is that guy?!"

The police didn't publicize the notice issued by Kaito Kid for this arrest operation, which led to Kaito Kuroba only discovering today that someone had stolen his account and caused trouble... which made him somewhat unhappy.

However, with his excellent eyesight, he spotted Hayashi Yoshiki standing next to Nakamori Ginzo.

This immediately brightened his mood.

Great! With that pervert Lin Jiashu around, he'll definitely teach this guy who dared to steal his account a lesson!

With this in mind, Kaito Kuroba took out his phone and started editing a message.

Inside the venue, Lin Jiashu, who had received the text message, took out his phone and glanced at it.

Kaito Kuroba: Dear Yoshiki-kun, is tonight's operation fully prepared? That pretentious guy standing on the museum right now has nothing to do with me, so you absolutely must not hold back and make sure he's arrested and thrown in jail!

Lin Jiashu did not reply after reading it.

At that moment, upon seeing Kaito Kid on the rooftop, Nakamori Ginzo excitedly shouted, "Operation to capture Kaito Kid, begin!!"

Yes! All vehicles, start the turbines!

Almost immediately, the turbines on the roofs of the four special vehicles surrounding the museum adjusted their direction... those things are turbojet engines used in airplanes, and when they are fully activated, the huge wind pressure they release immediately blows the trees along the street into all directions.

"Kidd fled eastward!"
