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

Hidden in the shadows, Daisuke Jigen swiftly disarmed the group with incredible speed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lupin III used the faint light from Daisuke Jigen's gunshot to catch a glimpse of Gikuri and quickly snatched the briefcase from Luciano's arms.

What these people didn't know was that

At this moment, a few figures were watching the situation inside the hangar intently from a distance.

"Is that Lupin III?"

"He's really skilled, and then there's... that guy named Daisuke Jigen's marksmanship, hmm, we absolutely can't let our guard down."

The blond man wearing a riot helmet cautiously observed the situation inside the hangar.

The helmets he and his teammates wore all featured a rising sun with five-pointed rays in the center, and their bulletproof vests also had the same design on the back.

Suddenly, he pressed the button on his headset.

"What's wrong, Kazami?"

"...I see a white Mercedes. Is it approaching this way?"

"OK, I understand."

Without hesitation, the blond man covered his face completely after ending the call.

Chapter 476: Leave your bad mood and scumbag boyfriend far, far behind.

Inside the luxurious villa, Fujiko Mine emerged, dressed in new attire.

It was a combination of a red, tight-fitting leather jacket and high boots.

She stood in front of the sofa, struggling to zip up the leather jacket in front of her—this leather jacket, which perfectly accentuated her exceptionally alluring figure, was no easy task to conceal her "world-class" breasts at this moment.

Fujiko Mine even had to force it in, pulling the zipper up little by little.

"Honestly, it's always such a hassle to wear tight clothes."

She muttered to herself in distress.

Ai Haibara, who was using her computer next to her, glanced up at her briefly, then turned her head away and rolled her eyes.

She looks just like a dairy cow.

She continued to focus on her notebook and do her own thing—

After Ayumi and the others, who had been sent back to Professor Agasa's house, woke up, they seemed to have guessed that it was I who "swapped" them back, so ever since they woke up, they have been trying to find their place.

But Ai Haibara kept using fake addresses to trick them into running around, and after Professor Agasa and the others made several trips, they became more and more anxious... It makes sense, they probably thought they were being kidnapped and threatened by bad guys, so they had to give them fake addresses.

Ai Haibara didn't explain.

Because she has more important things to do now.

Fujiko finally zipped up her leather jacket... but feeling she'd gone a little too far, she deliberately pulled the zipper down a bit, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin. Then, smiling, she swayed as she prepared to walk towards the door.

Ai Haibara frowned.

Are you going out?

"Yes, you can go back now if you want."

Fujiko Mine bent down and picked up the weapon backpack on the ground—the backpack contained a staggering amount of heavy firepower. Apart from tear gas and grenades, there were two handheld submachine guns, and most ridiculously, there was even a rocket launcher inside.

"As a female thief who manipulates men at will, I will never forgive the men who have deceived me."

"That's what Fujiko Mine is saying."

But as she turned to leave, Ai Haibara's face darkened: "So you were lying to me from the beginning when you told me you knew Cointreau's secret?"

Fujiko Mine, however, was delighted.

She put down the weapon backpack she had just picked up, swayed her hips, and walked straight to the back of the sofa where Ai Haibara was sitting, looking down at the computer screen in front of her and the phone in her hand:

"So all you were doing while using other people's computers was giving your comrades false information?"

"...I just didn't want them to be in danger."

"As expected, betrayal is your specialty." Fujiko Mine smiled as she looked at her. "Just like how you betrayed your original organization."

"..."

"But there's no need to worry about it. After all, betrayal is like a woman's accessory."

"Stop talking nonsense, you mean what I need is on this computer?"

"Shall we look for it?"

Mine Fujiko smiled.

After glancing at her, Ai Haibara began searching the computer with the mouse.

What she needed wasn't hidden deep within the computer; it was in the root directory of a separate document drive.

Then, she clicked to open the topmost image.

That was an electronic medical record from a hospital checkup.

Patient Name: Lin Jiashu

Gender: Male

Age: 22

【…】

【…】

【…】

[During sex hormone level tests, abnormally high serum testosterone levels were repeatedly detected.]

Multiple full-body checkups have ruled out any pathological factors contributing to the condition.

Furthermore, it has been confirmed that the effects of elevated serum testosterone levels alone on patients do not involve emotional changes; the only physiological effect is increased libido.

[Medical advice: It is recommended that the patient have a physical examination every three months.]

"..."

Looking at the medical report, Ai Haibara's first reaction was mainly worry.

High serum testosterone levels alone can have multiple effects on physiological function, metabolic health, mood, and the reproductive system... Although the medical examination report indicated that Lin Jiashu had no other problems, as a medical professional, she couldn't help but worry.

Fujiko Mine watched Ai Haibara's reaction with amusement, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"So, have you gotten to know this man anew? Although he seems like a refined and cultured gentleman on the surface, he's actually a wild beast inside."

"..."

Ai Haibara did not answer.

Clicking the mouse further, you'll see some photos of Lin Jiashu and women in the images that appear next.

A tall woman with short green hair, wearing a cheongsam; a woman with a sweet face and delicate features who seems very good at pleasing men...

Ai Haibara looked at them expressionlessly.

To her surprise, there was also a photo of Yoko Okino among them.

This guy...

Most of the photos on Fujiko Mine's computer were taken from a surveillance perspective, but they were actually quite clear.

Looking at those women, Ai Haibara couldn't quite describe how she felt.

anger?

sad?

Rejection?

She couldn't explain it.

But strangely, he managed to maintain a calm mind as he thought to himself, "So many women were surrounding me while I was basking in the glory of that kiss on the Suzuki Tower."

She even found it funny—fucking at her own naivety.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"You guys really know how to get your hands on these photos, you're really everywhere."

"...Is that all you have to say?"

Fujiko Mine was somewhat dissatisfied.

She was hoping that Ai Haibara would get angry and call to confront that troublesome man, or perhaps she would stubbornly decide to stop contacting the scumbag... Actually, she wanted to take this opportunity to once again encourage Ai Haibara to develop aptX4869 with her.

However, Ai Haibara's mood was unexpectedly calm, and she didn't even know what was happening to her.

"never mind."

Seeing the little girl staring blankly at the computer screen, Fujiko Mine didn't say anything more, but smiled and said, "Want to go for a drive with me? Although it might be a little dangerous."

"Walk."

Without saying a word, Ai Haibara closed the laptop.

She landed directly on the sofa and walked straight to the door, her decisive manner startling even Fujiko Mine.

"Okay, let me take you for a drive and leave your bad mood and that jerk far, far behind."

She smiled, picked up the weapon backpack from the ground, and got on a Harley motorcycle with Ai Haibara.

Boom! Boom!

The black and silver motorcycle roared and sped out of the yard.

Chapter 477: Toru Amuro’s pleasure

The lights in the hangar had been turned back on sometime during the night.

When the scene brightened again, the briefcase containing the Vesbania ore was already in Lupin III's hands, and the phantom thief, wearing a mocking smile, stood sideways, one hand holding the briefcase and the other pointing a gun at the brat in front of him—

Conan, too, held two guns pointed at Lupin III, looking at Lupin with a stern smile.

"I told you, I'll catch you next time we meet."

"You're quite arrogant, aren't you? But didn't your dad tell you to stop playing detective games?"

Lupin's teasing voice made Daisuke Jigen, who was standing in the hangar, click his tongue.

He looked at the confident-looking kid in front of him and said in a threatening tone:

"I'll make an exception and give you one last chance. If you stop now, I'll let you off the hook."

"Idiot, how could I possibly let you go?"

"But you've never fired a gun, have you?"

"Unfortunately, I had been rigorously trained at a shooting range in Hawaii."

Conan didn't believe Lupin III would fire a shot, but given the current situation, he knew it would be difficult for him to subdue the world-famous phantom thief on his own.

But it doesn't matter, he actually brought in some strong reinforcements.

However, the situation seemed to remain deadlocked until his reinforcements arrived.

Inside the hangar, Luciano Canevalle began to lose his composure, questioning Daisuke Jigen, the bodyguard he had hired, about how he dared to betray him. The latter, however, claimed that Canevalle had already fired him long ago.

"asshole!"

He angrily summoned his men who were lying in ambush outside the hangar.

This was a backup plan he had arranged to prevent being double-crossed by his trading partners or if the police came knocking. A dozen or so gunmen in black suits appeared outside the hangar entrance as soon as they received the signal—for Lupin III, who was facing away from the hangar door with his gun pointed at Conan, this was the worst-case scenario.

Daisuke Jigen immediately drew his gun and fired.

As a master gunner with a draw and firing speed of only 0.3 seconds, his movements were lightning fast, and in the blink of an eye, he shot and knocked the guns out of the hands of several gunmen.
