"This is really a headache."

Standing on the surface of the submarine, Lin Jiashu smiled as he looked at the vast ocean in the distance.

The plane in Gilanba glided into the sea.

It's very far away.

At least here, all you can see is an endless expanse of sea.

"I'm so sorry, the ore is gone, it seems like no one is getting anything."

Lupin III, carrying the unconscious Alan Smith, wore a smug expression.

"This is also the best outcome."

"Oh?"

"What I meant by a headache was my car," Lin Jiashu laughed. "It's already been smashed. What should I buy next?"

Lin Jiashu didn't feel sorry for him at all.

Ai Haibara stared at him expressionlessly as he seemed to be happily considering which car to get next.

Lin Jiashu then looked at her and asked, "Ai, what do you think?"

A smile that was no different from any other.

A clear and bright face, with a gentle smile devoid of any confusion...

He always gives off this feeling no matter what situation you see him in.

Although Ai Haibara has never been a superficial girl, she always thought his smile was very beautiful.

However, upon seeing his smile, Ai Haibara immediately recalled the other side of him that she had just encountered.

"Who knows you?"

She turned her head away as if she were sulking.

Lin Jiashu looked at her with some surprise.

Fujiko Mine chuckled to herself from the side.

Then Lin Jiashu looked at her again:

"Can you tell me what you're secretly laughing at, Fujiko-san?"

"Hmph~ If you want information from me, you have to pay."

"But I always feel like it's you who's caused me trouble."

"...That's none of my business~"

Fujiko Mine clasped his hands together, feigning innocence.

Then she leaned over and put her hands on Ai Haibara's small shoulders, whispering to her how she would fulfill her promise to share the secret of that medicine with her.

However, Ai Haibara twisted her hands away.

"Hey, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean?"

"You're not planning to go back on your word, are you?"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"what?"

"Betrayal is like a woman's ornament, didn't you say that?"

Ai Haibara turned around and looked at her with a barbed smile.

Fujiko Mine was furious.

Conan looked at Yoshiki and asked, "So, Yoshiki-san, you don't actually agree that the ore fell into the hands of the state, right?"

"The power of the Vesbania ore is too troublesome."

Lin Jiashu looked at him and said, "So the best ending for it is to never appear and never be known to anyone."

“But weren’t you the one who attracted the police?” Daisuke Jigen said.

"I think that was probably to prevent the ore from actually being taken away."

Conan said, resting his hands behind his head.

Lin Jiashu neither confirmed nor refuted.

Let Conan fill in the blanks himself.

—With just a gas mask, not only did it further solidify the identity of Conan and his allies as members of the Red Team, but it also probably gave Amuro a better understanding of the situation... Of course, most importantly, it probably also fooled Lupin III and his group, who knew him the most.

Although these guys are reckless and do whatever they want, they are essentially good people who punish evil and promote good. If we ignore them, they might suddenly cause trouble one day.

However, these issues have been resolved for the time being.

As if he didn't want to think about the topic, Lin Jiashu started asking them when they were going back.

"There's less than half an hour left until the concert ends. Oh, right, Ms. Fujiko Mine."

"What's the matter?"

"I'd like to discuss a deal with you. Let's talk about it in more detail later if we have time."

"A deal? Sure."

Fujiko Mine smiled and agreed.

"Hey, Fujiko! Don't get fooled by another man!"

"Shut up, Lupin. Don't mention this to me again!"

"Have you learned from your mistakes?"

"How annoying."

Whoosh!

Lupin III was kicked into the air by Fujiko Mine and fell into the sea.

Ignoring the splashing and thrashing sounds from the other side, Ai Haibara's eyes remained fixed on Yoshiki Hayashi.

Lin Jiashu noticed it, but didn't say anything.

The submarine then began its return journey.

When they returned to the vicinity of Haneda Airport and landed in a more secluded location, Judy and her group, who had no law enforcement authority, had already left. The remaining scene was then handed over to the police officers, including Miwako Sato, who had received word of the incident.

"Alright, what do you want to talk to me about, handsome?"

After stepping onto the ground, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Fujiko Mine looked at Yoshiki Hayashi and asked.

She wanted to hear about the details of the deal before deciding how much interest she should invest.

"Let me ask you this first, Ai is with you, did you kidnap her... for the aptx4869?"

"Hmm~"

Was her intention so obvious that it could be seen through? Or was this man's mind really that quick?

Fujiko Mine's squinting smile was tantamount to Yoshiki Hayashi's tacit agreement.

"I have some of those medicines on hand right now."

"...Really?" Fujiko Mine's smile faded.

"Ah, they use the exact same medicine as them. But this stuff is unstable and has a high mortality rate. Even so, are you still interested?"

"Does that even need to be asked?"

Fujiko Mine didn't care about any of that.

She can borrow things like fighter jets and submarines just by using her connections, let alone getting sponsorship for research... If what Lin Jiashu said is true, then she can easily have people reverse engineer the finished product of aptX4869.

What do you need?

"I would like to trouble you to look up information about Rum for me."

"Trying to gather information, huh? Okay... but how can I tell if what you have is genuine?"

Give me some time.

Upon hearing this, Fujiko Mine's gaze darted back and forth between Yoshiki Hayashi and Ai Haibara, who was walking ahead.

She quickly broke into a bright smile:

"Although you probably already guessed it, I'll still give you a friendly reminder: Sherry knows about you now and is throwing a tantrum."

"It's all your fault for causing me trouble, and you really dare to say that..."

Chapter 481: Helping Jundu book a more reliable psychologist; this time I'll have to listen to his heart and lungs throughout the entire consultation.

Fujiko Mine finally gave Yoshiki Hayashi a contact number.

Although she had already given Lin Jiashu her business card back in the Kingdom of Vesbania, she seemed quite enthusiastic about this transaction.

Fujiko Mine: But when it comes to researching drugs, wouldn't it be best to get Sherry involved too? So, if you're having a headache, do you need me to help you persuade her?

Lin Jiashu: We don't need you to make things worse.

Hayashi Yoshiki: I'll give you the stuff whenever I get information about Rum.

Fujiko Mine: So confident?

Fujiko Mine: OK~

This is the email exchange between Hayashi Yoshiki and Mine Fujiko when they woke up the next day.

This group's intelligence-gathering ability is truly impressive. There's nothing they can't get their hands on, like all sorts of secret treasures around the world or the secrets of mysterious organizations... With Fujiko Mine involved, they might actually make some progress.

Lin Jiashu poured himself a glass of water and turned on the TV in the living room.

The news on TV is all about Emilio's successful concert yesterday, but there's no mention of the dispute at Haneda Airport or the chase that took place over Japanese territorial waters.

After watching for a while, Yoshiki Hayashi took out his phone and told Tooru Amuro that he would not be going to the office for the next few days.

What happened?

They really know how to ask questions they already know the answer to.

Hearing the seemingly genuine concern from the other end, Lin Jiashu smiled.

"My car broke down, and I need to go see a new car later today, so I won't be going to the office for the next few days."

"If you need, I can come pick you up for work, Boss." Amuro Tooru's tone was teasing, but I usually arrive at the office at nine o'clock. If I come to pick you up, you'll have to be downstairs getting ready around eight-thirty.

Lin Jiashu usually goes to the office after 10 o'clock, and sometimes even waits until 11 o'clock.

He laughed.

"There's no need for Mr. Amuro to make an extra trip. You can just reimburse me for the taxi fare when I take a taxi there later."

Don't talk like I'm the boss.

After chatting for a few more minutes and confirming that he wouldn't be going to the firm for the next few days, Lin Jiashu hung up the phone.

He does need to go check on the car later.

However, even if you pay after seeing the car, you can't drive it away on the same day, which is indeed a hassle... Should I rent a car for a month first?

Thinking about all this, Lin Jiashu finished drinking the water and went to prepare breakfast.

A simple milk sandwich.

He didn't have much trouble making this simple thing, and after finishing his meal, he was about to watch a TV series to pass the time when he received an email from Gin in the inbox of his other phone.

After clicking, you'll find a photo of a man and some basic information.

It's likely that Lin Jiashu's action of opening the email made the other party see that the email had been read, because a text message came in the next second.

Gin: Get rid of him as soon as possible, without leaving any trace, and without doing anything unnecessary.

Jundu: A member of a club?
