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

Gin: The gang behind this guy has two good smuggling routes. Their leader is dead, and now they need to get rid of the excess competitors so that our chosen person can take over.

It turned out to be the case.

The distillery often does business with companies or underground organizations that engage in illegal activities, whether it's buying or selling. They also frequently use coercion, bribery, or methods to eliminate dissidents. The smuggling channel mentioned this time is probably because the leader of that organization was disobedient and was taken down, and then they arranged for someone willing to obey to take over.

Jundu: Getting rid of it isn't a problem, but I'm afraid it won't be quick, since my car is gone.

Gin: ?

Upon seeing Yoshiki Hayashi's reply, Gin's already cold expression darkened further.

What does "can't do it as soon as possible" mean?

Although Yoshiki Hayashi gave an explanation for his car being missing, Gin saw it as Jundo expressing his dissatisfaction—because he had told Jundo not to leave any traces and not to do anything unnecessary.

This guy...

In the previous few times I assigned him tasks, his actions did indeed become increasingly reckless.

They always make a huge scene, and every now and then they get involved bystanders who aren't part of the mission objective.

While it's true that sometimes a high death rate can make the organization's benefits less obvious, this can't continue.

We cannot allow Jundu's homicidal tendencies to grow unchecked.

Otherwise, with his ever-growing appetite, he will eventually lose control and do even more outrageous things due to his insatiable desires.

Think about it, at first, Jundu cleverly used a series of chain reactions, such as collisions, to eventually kill people by smashing light boxes in front of the aquarium. Now, it's all about oil tankers and chemical transport trucks... Each time, the scene gets bigger and bigger, and more and more people die.

Gin: A competitor being blatantly murdered would damage the piece's reputation, so don't make any unnecessary moves.

He offered a brief explanation.

Gin: Also, what's wrong with your car?

"..."

Why is he suddenly explaining all this?

Do you think you can't tell?

Lin Jiashu didn't pay much attention and casually mentioned what had happened to his car the night before.

Meanwhile, Gin, who was in his car, remained silent for a moment after seeing the reply.

What big news is he planning to create this time?

Gin: Just tell Vodka what kind of car you need, and he'll arrange it. Get the mission done as soon as possible.

After sending the text message, Gin put his phone away without bothering to look at it again, but muttered to himself, "I'll book a more reliable psychologist for Jundo. This time, I'll have to listen to his heart and lungs throughout the entire consultation."

"Okay, big brother."

Vodka didn't ask any further questions.

Okay, now I don't need to go look at cars.

With the winery's arrangements, Lin Jiashu, who was enjoying a half-day of leisure, continued to watch TV dramas at a relaxed pace.

He can't think of anything he needs to do right now.

As for Ai Haibara, let's leave that aside for now.

Yoshiki waited leisurely until the afternoon, but unexpectedly, Kaito Kuroba called.

This guy seems to be holding a grudge about his account being hacked by Lupin III a few days ago, and he's been thinking about how to turn the tables on him.

"As for Lupin III... given his personality, he'd probably be quite disappointed to go to Japan and come away empty-handed. He'll probably go to Osaka or Kyoto next to make a quick buck before heading off again."

"You can keep an eye out for recent news about valuable antiques or gemstones."

Good luck to you.

"I won't join in the excitement."

Hearing Kaito Kuroba's sly laughter, Lin Jia smiled. She was actually looking forward to seeing Lupin III try to steal the treasure only to find that the phantom thief Kid had gotten there first and breached his defenses.

Chapter 482: Violent Gangs

A sleek white sedan slowly drove into Shinjuku at night.

Crossing the street, one is greeted by both the stark contrast of skyscrapers and the warm glow of everyday life in the alleyways. On this leisurely autumn night, the cool air from the air conditioner makes the passenger in the front seat feel a little drowsy.

"However, the new car smell is still a bit strong."

"But I'll still be happy to have a new car, right? At least Yoshiki-kun took me for a ride as soon as he got his new car, which made me very happy."

"Really? Actually, I wanted to find another person to help me absorb the formaldehyde."

"Ugh, Yoshiki-kun, you really are something—!"

The energetic female voice, with its coquettish tone, makes one sigh that she truly deserves to be a national-level super popular idol.

Lin Jiashu smiled.

Seeing Yoko Okino's feigned sullen expression, he quickly said, "Actually, the car had already undergone formaldehyde removal treatment when I got it, so I really wanted to take you out for a spin."

Yoko Okino didn't reply, but just smiled and made a cute emoji.

Getting the car through the winery's channels was indeed fast.

Lin Jiashu decided on the model of the car he wanted a few days ago. He could drive it away that same afternoon, and no one could find fault with the paperwork.

BMW 7 Series F01.

Lin Jiashu's previous Mercedes-Benz was a model from 1995 to 2002, while the F01 he got this time was a 2009 model... From this point of view, Lin Jiashu can feel the rapid development of technology in this world.

However, he was quite satisfied with the car this time.

"Next, I need to go to... Excuse me, I need to take this call."

"Ah."

Yoko Okino released Hayashi Yoshiki's left hand, which she had been holding tightly, and obediently looked at Hayashi Yoshiki, who was sitting on the right, turning the steering wheel and answering a phone call.

"Hello, Mr. Amuro?"

He's still incredibly handsome no matter when you look at him, Yoshiki-kun.

She gazed intently at Lin Jiashu's profile with bright eyes.

"Is it that person again?"

Hearing Amuro Tooru's reply, Lin Jiashu was speechless: "Isn't he a bit too persistent?"

Yeah, I had already packed my things and was ready to go back, but I didn't expect him to suddenly come to visit me in person, wanting to ask you to do something for him, and the commission fee has already been raised to five million... What should I do? Should I think about it? Even though he's a member of a violent gang.

"Did they give you any trouble?"

No, after all, I'm just a low-level employee, and he probably knows that making things difficult for me won't do any good.

"Don't be stubborn if there's a real problem." Lin Jiashu paused here, as if to confirm that Amuro Tooru was not lying to him, before continuing, "As for this request, I'd better not take it. I feel like it would be a very troublesome matter."

Okay, I'll call and reject them now.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Amuro."

Lin Jiashu hung up the phone.

Seeing him put his phone down, Yoko Okino asked curiously, "Did something happen, Yoshiki-kun?"

"It's nothing, just that a few days ago the firm received a letter of request asking me to help investigate a case. I refused, but they didn't give up. It seems that this was the third time the person in question had come to the firm."

"Is this a request that I absolutely must ask Yoshiki-kun to make?"

"Yes, they said that no matter what, it could only be entrusted to me... However, since the client seemed to be a high-ranking member of a violent gang, I didn't intend to have any contact with that kind of person, so I refused."

Lin Jiashu replied.

Yoko Okino nodded. Although she was a little curious about Yoshiki Hayashi's work, she never thought of interfering.

"Yoshiki-kun works very hard too."

"It's alright. Okay, so anywhere you plan to go next?"

"I'll leave it to Yoshiki-kun... But are you tired from driving? If so, we can go back and rest first."

"Hmm... the timing is about right."

Lin Jiashu glanced at his watch.

There really weren't any interesting places to go for another drive, so Lin Jiashu decided it was best to head back first.

However, when he was halfway through the drive and passed a convenience store, he pulled over and stopped at the intersection.

"I'm going downstairs to buy something. Yoko, please wait for me in the car."

"Ok."

Yoko Okino nodded obediently.

Lin Jiashu got out of the car and went into the convenience store.

He bought some necessities, paid the bill, and walked out with his shopping bag. Before the convenience store door could even close behind him, he heard a boastful voice.

"Oh my! Isn't this Detective Hayashi Yoshiki, who's always been so busy and hasn't had time to take my cases? So you actually have time to go to the convenience store to buy things yourself?"

Lin Jiashu looked over and saw a thin man with a somewhat mean-looking face wearing gold-rimmed glasses walking towards him.

He was followed by two bodyguard-like men.

Lin Jiashu smiled and asked:

"May I ask who you are?"

“My name is Ryo Goshima, Mr. Hayashi should remember me, right?” The man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses but with a somewhat gloomy demeanor, gave an unpleasant smile. “After all, I just received a call from your assistant. He said you’ve been busy handling other cases lately and haven’t had time to listen to my request.”

"Yes, I've been quite busy lately. If Mr. Goto doesn't mind, I can recommend another equally capable detective to you."

"No, forget about the other detectives."

"Well then, since Mr. Goto isn't interested, then we—"

As Lin Jiashu finished speaking, he reached for the handlebars, preparing to get on the car and leave.

However, Ryo Goto's subordinate reached out and pressed down on the car door.

Lin Jiashu paused.

"Do you have any further questions, Mr. Goto?"

He turned around and looked at Ryo Goshima.

Ryo Goshima did not answer.

However, his two subordinates' expressions turned unfriendly, and one of them even took a step closer, his eyes filled with pressure.

Lin Jiashu smiled.

"As expected of people from a violent gang, just by looking at them, you can tell that you are indeed very good at threatening others."

"..."

"But is it really okay to put on this act for me? I don't think I have anything you can exploit through threats, do I? Besides, I have a pretty friendly relationship with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

Ryo Goto's eyes flickered behind his glasses.

But before he could say anything, the car window slowly rolled down, revealing Yoko Okino's somewhat worried face, which was covered by a mask.

"Yoshiki-kun...?"

Her tone was somewhat uneasy.

Upon seeing her face, which was covered by a mask, the strong sense of familiarity made Ryo Goshima frown slightly, and then his eyes lit up.

"Oh, it's Ms. Yoko Okino!"

"..."
