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

This title not only baffled Koshimizu Nanatsuki, but even Amuro Tooru had never heard of it before.

Firstly, the Kingdom of Vespania kept the existence of the invisible ore a closely guarded secret, and secondly, even the winery itself classified the ore's existence as a secret, unknown to Amuro Tooru.

"That's a type of ore that can perfectly evade radar detection."

"Perfectly evaded radar...?"

"Yes, I'm not joking."

Seeing Amuro Tooru's astonished expression, Hayashi Yoshiki's voice softened slightly, as if to avoid disturbing his current thoughts:

"If this ore were used as a material for the coating of missiles or aircraft, no radar would be able to detect it... Can you imagine that scenario? Just the existence of one such ore could render the air defense systems of all countries in the world useless."

"Really...?"

"If it were fake, Lupin III wouldn't have bothered with this whole spectacle."

Lin Jiashu briefly explained Lupin III's arrangements.

He actually got involved in this mess for the sake of the deceased Sakura Queen and Princess Mira, hoping to recover the stolen Vespania ore.

He knew the items were stolen by Luciano, a member of the mafia, but he didn't know where they were hidden.

However, he found Aaron Smith, a buyer who was trying to purchase the invisible mineral.

Lupin seized the opportunity to have Daisuke Jigen pretend to be Luciano's subordinate and communicate with Aaron Smith, the buyer, to say that he "agreed to the deal, but requested that payment be made only in the form of cherry sapphires."

Aaron Smith, having taken the bait, hired Lupin to steal the Cherry Sapphire from the East Bank.

However, the cherry sapphire was originally part of Lupin's collection.

He secretly hid the transmitter inside the cherry sapphire, so that when Aaron Smith took the cherry sapphire to make a transaction, it would mean that the invisible ore was right in front of him.

That's why I'm hesitating.

"The existence of this kind of ore is beyond the scope of the police's ability to handle, and there are probably many other people eyeing it."

Amuro Tooru kept his head down.

His pupils reflected a few inscrutable colors.

A mineral that could make any aircraft or even missile disappear from radar—he'd never heard of anything like it before. If all of this were true, if the country possessed this…

Lin Jiashu is right; things like this are indeed beyond the capabilities of the police.

The police should be called.

Amuro Tooru thought about these things and subtly raised the corner of his mouth.

Lin Jiashu's gaze did not miss the slight curve of his smile, so he smiled as well.

"Incredible, there is actually such a mineral in the world."

"Ah, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was true."

A bathroom filled with steam, a luxurious bathtub overflowing with bubbles.

The feeling of being soaked in hot water was so comforting and relaxing. As I stretched out my small body, the comfortable sigh that came out of my mouth seemed to drift into the distance.

"Life with your sister is pretty good, isn't it?"

Opposite the bathtub is Fujiko Mine.

A woman who is extremely enthusiastic and greedy for money will never shortchange herself in terms of material enjoyment.

She crossed her legs, her magnificent figure concealed by white foam. When Ai Haibara ignored her, she moved closer and grabbed the girl when she wasn't looking.

Ai immediately let out a childish scream.

She immediately sat up and glared at Fujiko Mine: "What are you doing!"

"Hehe, so cute, her chest has shrunk. Or was it always this small when she was little Shirley?"

"How could that be! Of course, I was even more—"

Why talk to her about something so pointless?

Ai Haibara kept a straight face and ignored her.

At this moment, Fujiko Mine returned to her side, but this time she was much more serious: "Hey, how about you and I team up to finish that drug? To make your ideal aptX... what was it again?"

“aptx4869.” Ai Haibara glanced at her. “What do you want to do after it’s finished?”

“Of course, I’ll use it on myself first, to regain my youth!” Fujiko Mine smiled, rubbing her cheeks with longing. “Maintaining youth forever is every woman’s dream, it’ll definitely be a bestseller.”

"Don't joke around, the medicine I make isn't that fantastical."

Upon hearing her unrealistic ideas, Ai Haibara realized that she had nothing to say to her.

Whoosh!

She got out of the bathtub without hesitation.

"A woman is doomed once she is bound by her youth."

"Also, you should have kept your promise to me by now, right?"

"What exactly is the secret of Cointreau that you mentioned?"

Chapter 475: Is he approaching this way?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the show is about to begin!"

boom!

On the pitch-black concert stage, a shout rang out, and dazzling sparks erupted from all around the stage.

Emilio leaped up from under the elevator platform.

As the music that filled the entire venue began, the audience erupted in cheers.

The backstage area for the concert is located to the side of the stage.

The lighting effects and listening equipment in front of the stage were all connected to the control panel. The agent, Claudia, watched the scene with a smile on her face... Behind her were Inspector Megure with a serious expression and Ran and others with some worries.

Luciano Canevalle will engage in illegal transactions during his concerts.

Kogoro Mouri has already informed Inspector Megure about this, so several police officers are now secretly observing the area around the concert venue.

"She sang really well. I think I can understand the charm of idols now."

Lin Jiashu, on the other hand, showed no signs of nervousness, leisurely listening to the singing coming from the stage.

He then looked at Ran and asked, "But is it okay to leave Sonoko alone in the front row to enjoy the concert?"

"Sonoko is definitely putting all her energy into supporting the team right now."

Xiao Lan revealed a sly smile.

She's right.

In the footage captured by the surveillance camera from the front row of the audience, Sonoko Suzuki, who occupies three seats by herself, is now holding a support fan in each hand and happily shouting along with the performance on stage.

Lin Jiashu smiled.

He patted Xiaolan on the back and whispered in her ear:

"You should go and keep Sonoko company while she watches the show. Don't worry, Luciano's deal won't take place at this concert."

"Huh?"

Xiao Lan was somewhat surprised.

She looked at Lin Jiashu, somewhat puzzled as to how he knew all this, but then she quickly realized something: "And what about you, Jiashu-ge?"

"I need to leave for a bit to do something important. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"..."

Xiaolan looked at him with some worry.

However, she quickly and very sensibly nodded.

"Although I don't know what Yoshiki-nii is going to do, we must be careful..."

"Do not worry."

Lin Jiashu smiled, turned around, and left.

After waiting backstage for a while, Xiaolan quickly returned to the audience area as Lin Jiashu had told her.

"Emilyo, go go! Emilio!! Ah, Ran, you're finally here!"

Sonoko, who was happily waving her support fan, became even more excited when she saw Ran approaching. She quickly grabbed Ran and kept staring behind her, asking, "Where's Yoshiki-nii? Hasn't Yoshiki-nii come yet?!"

"It seems like Jia Shu has something important to do! He'll probably be here later!"

"Oh, I see! Then please sit down!"

The surround sound made it difficult for the two to speak without straining. After being pulled to sit down by Sonoko, Ran watched the performance on stage with a somewhat absent-minded expression.

Jia Shu, it should be fine, right?

Because Lin Jiashu had always appeared calm and mature, Xiaolan seemed unable to persuade him not to go.

Old maintenance area near Haneda Airport

This is indeed a very remote location if it were used as a trading venue.

It's a hangar that evokes a sense of history, one of many that has become old and worn.

"Is this our first time meeting?"

The portly Italian man, Luciano Canevalle, got out of the car.

Even with numerous police officers monitoring the concert venue, he managed to leave without anyone noticing and arrive at this place—because Luciano knew the deal might be exposed, so he never intended to conduct the transaction inside the venue. Instead, he had a secret passage dug inside the venue leading outside.

"That is indeed how we met, Mr. Luciano."

The blond man in a suit and tie, the same guy who had tricked Fujiko Mine, stepped out of the car carrying a briefcase: "I am Allen Smithy."

Luciano looked at the briefcase in his hand with some curiosity.

The amount he wanted to trade was far too large to fit in a simple suitcase, but he didn't ask any questions at the moment. Instead, he had the items brought up.

—Vesbania ore is very easy to process, so Luciano used the concert as an excuse to process the ore into keyboard keys and disguise them as spare equipment to transport them to the airport.

"This thing is still considered an unclaimed item, but even if it's inspected, they won't find anything on it."

He showed the item to Alan Smith.

Seeing this, the latter smiled and opened his briefcase: "Well then, I've also brought what we agreed on, this is the cherry sapphire we promised."

"sapphire?"

Luciano was stunned for a moment, and looked at the other person in confusion: "What is that? Are you kidding me?"

"What do you mean?"

Snapped!

The power to the hangar suddenly went out.

Both parties to the transaction and their men tensed up in the darkness, immediately drawing their weapons in preparation.

At that moment, a beam of light appeared in front of the hangar door.

A figure resembling Lupin III stood at the doorway, one hand on his hip, facing this direction.

"Honestly, it was hidden in such a secluded place, it really made me search for it for ages."

He was met with countless gunshots.

Bullets rained down on Lupin III's figure, leaving numerous bullet holes, but he remained unmoved.

"Tch! It's just a standee?"

The moment the gunmen realized something was wrong and stopped firing, they didn't realize that the flashes from their shots had completely revealed their position.

then,
