—You should know that Xiaolan and the others were also on this bus.

Her voice suddenly turned cold.

"While we're dealing with traitors for the organization, you're thinking of taking us all down with you, Gin?"

"Ha, I always spare no effort in dealing with traitors and enemies. If you didn't expect to get involved, then that's none of my business."

"I'll report this to that gentleman." Vermouth sneered. "You almost killed me, Bourbon, and Cointreau for a non-existent Sherry... You haven't been turned by the FBI or some other organization, have you, Gin?"

"Humph!"

Gin scoffed and hung up the phone.

He wasn't surprised that Shirley wasn't on that train, so he didn't care about Bourbon's mission failure.

As for that train, it definitely can't be blown up...

Damn it, why does Cointreau always seem to flock to places where there are bombs?

This is the second time.

He almost died from a bomb planted by his own people when he was in the Twin Towers. If he hadn't found out early this time, he might have been killed by his own actions again.

Upon hearing this, Gin's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He took out his phone, found Jundu's number, and entered the text message editing page... but after typing a few words, he deleted them.

Oh shit--

"Brother, there are police all over here now, it's not easy to defuse the bomb."

Vodka looked at Gin cautiously.

"Go get the car," Gin said coldly.

"Oh……"

Vodka nodded.

Soon, the two men, exuding a dangerous aura, swaggered out of the station right under the noses of a group of police officers, without any of them stopping them for inspection.

Vodka got into the driver's seat of the Porsche 356A and drove his older brother away from the station quickly.

Gin pressed the detonator on the bomb.

boom! !

At the Nagoya Station platform, a violent explosion suddenly erupted from the tracks, sending flames and shockwaves through the area, startling the police officers and Jirokichi Suzuki present.

The instigator has long since fled.

the other side

On the Suzuki Express, the passengers were terrified by the explosion at the rear of the train. In fact, even if Gin and his crew hadn't detonated the bomb at Nagoya Station, the train would not have dared to continue its journey and would have had to find the nearest station to stop immediately.

"Brother Jiashu, what happened to your face?"

When Yoshiki Hayashi and Conan returned to the front carriage, Ran saw the thin, long bloodstain on Yoshiki Hayashi's face.

The blood that had seeped from the scratch has now congealed, but its dark red color still stands out conspicuously.

"What!?"

Hearing this, Sonoko rushed out as well. The moment she saw the wound on Hayashi Yoshiki's face, she panicked and cried out, "Oh no! Yoshiki-nii's face is injured! Where are the disinfectant wipes, band-aids, and ointment? -- Flight attendant!!"

Lin Jiashu quickly smiled and said it was alright.

While dealing with the two worried girls, he glanced at Ai Haibara, who was staring at him with a pale face and tense eyes... Just then, the flight attendant rushed over with a first-aid kit.

Xiao Lan quickly and carefully treated Lin Jiashu's wound.

Even Kogoro Mouri noticed something was wrong at this point:

"A-Shu, what happened to your injury?" He walked up to Lin Jiashu with a serious expression. "You were in front of us just two minutes ago, right? But judging from the way the blood has congealed, you must have been injured at least five or six minutes ago."

This uncle, who often makes a mess of his reasoning, can sometimes be incredibly perceptive.

Conan then shouted:

"Because that Yoshiki-san was actually Kaito Kid in disguise."

"what?!"

An uproar immediately erupted around them.

The phantom thief Kid, disguised as Hayashi Yoshiki, had already slipped away under the pretext of going to the restroom after receiving the news. By now, he had already completed his disguise and blended in with the other passengers.

Conan's gaze also searched his surroundings.

Vermouth, who disguised herself as Amuro Tooru, has now disappeared without a trace... Damn it, there's nowhere to find her now.

"The one who solved the case is actually Kaito Kid?!"

"No, it's not that. It's that Yoshiki-san discovered Kaito Kid, then told him the truth about the case and asked him to impersonate him..." Conan's expression became serious as he said this, "Because a dangerous guy infiltrated the train, Yoshiki-san went to investigate."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's expression turned serious.

The smoke filling carriage 8 and the explosion in the freight car proved that there were indeed dangerous individuals on the train. And this kid just went off to investigate without saying a word.

Xiao Lan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

She pursed her lips, saying nothing, but when she applied the medicine and put on the bandage for Lin Jiashu, her eyes showed obvious reproach... She probably thought she would find an opportunity to lecture him later, now was definitely not the time.

The steam train that was involved in the explosion is now much slower.

The train attendants and conductor have now gathered in the back carriages to check the situation. The police have also quickly launched an operation, preparing to arrange for passengers to disembark and conduct an investigation after the train stops at a nearby station.

"Thank you, Xiaolan."

Lin Jiashu touched his face, which already had a band-aid on it, and gave Xiaolan a gentle smile.

Ai Haibara, who was being watched closely by the anxious Professor Agasa, observed this scene. As Yoshiki Hayashi thanked Ran Mouri with a relaxed expression, she unconsciously... pursed her lips tightly.

I can't do anything myself.

All along, she's been like a burden, holding him back...

They didn't even have the chance to help treat their wounds.

Beneath the mask, her bright and lovely face couldn't help but be filled with anxiety.

Chapter 5: Amuro Tooru's Resignation Letter

[Suzuki Express train explodes! Rear freight car destroyed, bomb attack also occurs at Nagoya Station, the final stop, mysterious perpetrator sparks panic]

Yesterday afternoon, the Suzuki Express, a luxury sightseeing train owned by the Suzuki conglomerate, exploded while traveling from Tokyo Station. The explosion caused the last freight car to detach from the preceding cars. Shortly after the Suzuki Express explosion, a violent explosion also occurred on the tracks at Nagoya Station, the train's intended terminus, completely destroying the tracks.

The incident caused panic among passengers, but fortunately, no one was injured in either explosion. Preliminary police investigations point to sabotage, and the two explosions are highly related, but the motive remains unclear.

[The Suzuki Group's advisor, the organizer of this train event, held an emergency press conference announcing that they will cover all passengers' medical and psychological expenses and provide corresponding compensation.]

Police stated that the motive for the bombing is still unclear, but they are not ruling out the possibility of a terrorist attack, targeting a specific individual, or extreme revenge against society. They urged anyone who boarded a train at the relevant station that day or who has any suspicious information to contact the police.

The television was broadcasting news about the bombing.

The overwhelming media coverage made the residents of Beika Town feel uneasy every time they rode the Shinkansen today. As for the police, they couldn't suppress such a big case, so they could only let the media report it.

"That was dangerous..."

Kindaichi Detective Agency

As Koshimizu Nanatsuki stood by the stove waiting for the water to boil, she felt a little alarmed as she listened to the news reports on television.

"Thankfully, Mr. Lin and the others weren't caught in the explosion. What exactly is the killer trying to do?"

"I don't know, maybe he wants to take revenge on society."

Lin Jiashu offered a casual explanation.

Drip!

The water boiled at that moment.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki immediately turned off the stove and started brewing tea with hot water.

A moment later, she placed the teacup in front of Lin Jiashu.

"Please enjoy your meal," Nanatsuki Koshimizu chuckled softly. "But I'm sure my brewing isn't as professional as Mr. Amuro's... Speaking of which, did Mr. Amuro take the day off today?"

"Mr. Amuro will be taking a break for a while and won't be coming to the office anymore."

"Huh?"

"Ms. Koshimizu, please refrain from contacting Mr. Amuro for the time being. If he sends you a message, please let me know as soon as possible, okay?"

"……ah"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki was a little dazed, but seeing Hayashi Yoshiki's serious expression, she quickly replied, "Okay."

Did they have some kind of conflict?

Yesterday, Amuro Tooru didn't come to the office and just called to say that something came up and he needed to take a day off, but his tone sounded normal... Koshimizu Nanatsuki couldn't help but wonder, but she didn't say anything.

Despite her inner turmoil, she pretended nothing was wrong and returned to her seat to continue working.

Lin Jiashu also started working, which was a rare occurrence for him.

With Amuro Tooru gone, the all-around worker, the office's website backend and some reporting work have now fallen back on his shoulders as the boss.

That's quite troublesome.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Having experienced the joy of being a hands-off boss, doing this kind of work now gives him a strange feeling of wasting time.

After handling some tasks and completing the reports, Lin Jiashu finally decided to leave early when it was four o'clock.

He bid farewell to Nanatsuki Koshimizu and checked the mailboxes set up outside the office before leaving, but they were empty.

Are you looking for my resignation letter?

Teasing voices came from inside.

"You actually dare to show your face here?"

Lin Jiashu closed the mailbox door without changing her expression, then turned to look at the dark-skinned man who had somehow appeared there: "You just happened to show up when I came out. You wouldn't be so cowardly as to squat in the bushes next to me waiting to see when I get off work, would you?"

"It's too harsh to say such things to departing employees."

Amuro Tooru laughed.

Unlike his usual friendly demeanor, Amuro Tooru's gaze became very aggressive.

Seeing Lin Jiashu remain silent, seemingly waiting for something, he raised the corners of his mouth: "If you're waiting for those two police officers hiding in the nearby stairwell, I'm sorry, they probably don't have the capacity to come and help you right now."

"Varied……"

Lin Jiashu's calm expression finally changed slightly.

Amuro Tooru then put his hand inside his coat.

"Don't be nervous."

However, what he pulled out of his pocket was not a gun, but an envelope. "I just came to deliver this resignation letter. After all, my experience working here has been very interesting. So I thought I'd take your suggestion from yesterday and deliver this resignation letter properly."

As he spoke, he placed the letter in his hand on top of the wall.

Seeing that Hayashi Yoshiki didn't say anything, Amuro Tooru left a smile and swaggered away.

Only after Amuro Tooru's figure disappeared did Hayashi Yoshiki step forward and take the envelope.

He opened it and saw that it was indeed a resignation letter, similar in format to those submitted by ordinary workers.

Lin Jiashu's lips curled up.

Amuro Tooru's appearance here is actually quite interesting—from his perspective, Hayashi Yoshiki has exposed his identity as an enemy of the organization to him, a member of the organization, and from then on, he needs to be constantly wary of retaliation from the brewery. His timely delivery of this resignation letter without taking any hostile actions somewhat reassures Hayashi Yoshiki.

Although the exact extent of its effect is still unknown, it must be of some use, right?

He acted only on reasons of this degree.

As for the two police officers that Amuro mentioned "hiding in the nearby stairwell," it was indeed arranged by Hayashi Yoshiki. Whether it was the police helicopter he mentioned on the train yesterday or the police officers who were hiding near the office today, they were all ordered by the high-ranking members of the Red Team, who were controlled by him through the Death Note.

Everything was for this moment.

The internal orders from the Public Security Bureau could not be kept secret from him, who belonged to the Public Security Bureau Zero Group. With the previous incident of Lupin III at Haneda Airport as a foundation, he would no longer have any doubts about Hayashi Yoshiki's identity at this point.
