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

In particular, his gaze fell upon the bruises and marks on Curaçao's hands and legs.

However, Ai Haibara, who usually has a relatively keen sense of observation, did not notice this. With a cold face, she simply said in a hard voice, "Some people are really popular with women."

Are you complimenting me?

Hayashi Yoshiki's smiling response almost made Ai Haibara, whose face was already tense, exude an even stronger sense of gloom. But then she heard Hayashi Yoshiki address the children, saying, "I'm sorry, I met this older sister by chance last night. She lost her memory because of a car accident, and I was a little worried that I couldn't just leave her there."

"..."

Ai Haibara was taken aback.

Her displeasure and anger vanished in an instant, as if it had been a lie from the beginning. She looked at Curaçao in surprise, and then noticed the injuries on her body.

"Amnesia!?"

"Really... my whole body is covered in wounds!"

The children immediately looked worried.

Ai Haibara looked up at Curaçao and said, "Let me see the wound on your head."

"……OK."

Curaçao seems to have a hard time saying no to people these days.

Because of the height difference, she squatted down and lowered her head to get closer to Ai Haibara.

The latter reached out and carefully touched her head, especially some bruises above her temples: "The injury is not serious, it's a recent injury... If it was a car accident, I think it should be traumatic retrograde amnesia."

Then she looked at Lin Jiashu and said, "Shouldn't we hand the person over to the police and the hospital in a situation like this?"

"Ultimately, it depends on her personal wishes."

Lin Jiashu simply smiled and said that.

Conan frowned.

However, he did not show it, and after hearing Ai Haibara say that this kind of retrograde amnesia is usually recoverable, the children immediately became excited and expressed their willingness to help Curaçao find her memories.

Without saying a word, they dragged Curaçao into the park.

Conan, who remained with his hands in his pockets, looked at Yoshiki Hayashi with a puzzled expression: "It's one thing if he's not in the hospital, but you didn't actually pick up a stranger and not call the police, did you?"

"Ah, I haven't had a chance to call the police yet. I'll leave this to you, Conan."

"what?"

Conan felt that there was something strange about this whole thing.

Why did Yoshiki Hayashi not do this himself but instead had someone else do it for him?

It's hard to understand, but it also seems like there's no pitfall...

By this time, Lin Jiashu had already passed him and walked into the amusement park with a smile.

Both the police and the brewery are now frantically searching for the missing Curaçao. If the police are notified, they will immediately receive the message and come to take Curaçao away. The brewery's people have probably already come to the park to search... because the location of last night's explosion is very close to this ocean-themed park.

Given Curaçao's abilities, if he hadn't died, he would probably have swum ashore to reach this paradise—that's the most likely thought the people at the distillery would have.

Although puzzled, Conan still contacted the police through Kogoro Mouri.

He then ran inside with them.

Meanwhile, Hayashi Yoshiki was walking with Ai Haibara. He smiled as if he knew nothing and asked, "Why did you look so awful just now?"

"nothing."

Ai Haibara felt that her expression must be very stiff at that moment.

"Really? I thought you were angry because you saw me with a new woman by your side."

"Don't flatter yourself"—these words were almost on the tip of her tongue, but Ai Haibara suddenly changed her tune, her bright eyes fixed on Yoshiki Hayashi's smiling face: "Is that not allowed?"

oops……

Lin Jiashu looked at her in surprise.

After a long pause, he finally spoke again, seemingly speechless, "I'm truly defeated by you."

Ai Haibara's lips curled up.

Meanwhile, Curaçao, encouraged by several other children, has already begun to explore the amusement park's attractions.

She displayed her skills almost instinctively when playing darts.

After three consecutive darts were thrown, they easily hit the bullseye, even surprising the staff on site.

Ayumi and the others who received the prizes were even more amazed.

"Wow, that's amazing! Are you a professional darts player, sister?"

"No, I work at a flower shop."

"A flower shop? Sister, have you regained your memory!?"

"...No, not yet."

"Then how do you say you work at a flower shop?"

"Never mind! Congratulations on getting today's best performance!"

"Let's give each other a high five, sister!"

"Yes, just raise both hands."

The children were making a lot of noise and were very excited.

Curaçao stared at the scene in a daze.

When she stretched out her hands and opened her palms, and Ayumi jumped up and happily gave her a high five, she felt an even more incredible feeling...

Although she couldn't recall the memory, she had never experienced such a joyful feeling of being surrounded and adored by children.

It's even possible that this is the first time she's ever met a child like this.

Gradually, a smile appeared on her face.

Meanwhile, in the park's café, the impeccably dressed Vermouth sat by the window, watching the images on her computer. She had connected a camera to the computer, and as the images captured by the camera were transmitted back to the computer, a program was constantly and automatically scanning the faces in the images.

Soon, the automated program yielded results.

When Curaçao's face appeared on the computer screen, Vermouth immediately grabbed her binoculars and looked out the window, where she immediately saw Curaçao's face.

She immediately pressed the call button on her earpiece.

“I’ve found her, Gin.”

"Where?"

"Just as I expected, at the Dongdu Ocean Theme Park." Vermouth's tone was somewhat formulaic, after all, the other party had recently prepared a bomb to kill them. "Don't worry, I'll bring her back soon."

Gin hung up the call immediately.

He has now arrived abroad and is dealing with the organization's traitors with Vodka.

Vermouth got up to take Curaçao away, but as she packed her things and looked towards Curaçao, she froze.

Cointreau?

What's that guy doing here?

Vermouth frowned.

Logically speaking, she wouldn't suspect that Jundo knew Curaçao and had ulterior motives, but given Hayashi Yoshiki's consistent display of knowledge of many secrets and his ability to make perfect plans in front of her, she couldn't help but overthink things at this moment.

"..."

Silently, she packed all her things, put on sunglasses and a women's sun hat, and walked out of the restaurant.

Before approaching Curaçao's location, she took out her phone and sent a text message to Hayashi Yoshiki.

Lin Jiashu simply smiled after seeing the text message.

He didn't immediately say he wanted to leave—after all, it would be too suspicious to say he needed to go to the restroom right after reading the text message.

He first bought drinks for everyone, and after walking around for a short while, he said he had to leave for a bit.

Vermouth was waiting for him nearby—she had just managed to evade Ai Haibara's distillery radar at a rather subtle distance.

"What? It's so pitiful to come to the amusement park alone on your day off, isn't it?"

"Stop pretending, Cointreau."

"..."

Lin Jiashu looked somewhat surprised.

He opened his mouth, then revealed a delighted expression, his dark eyes clearly reflecting Vermouth's face: "You, have you discovered something about me?"

"..."

This makes it sound like he's been doing a lot of bad things behind the scenes.

Vermouth suppressed the ripples in her heart for the moment and went straight to the point: "What's going on with Curaçao? The organization is waiting for information about her very urgently."

"Curaçao?"

Lin Jiashu was somewhat surprised, then as if he had realized something, he looked at the woman in the distance being led by several children to ride the Ferris wheel: "So that woman is Curaçao?"

"You do not know?"

“I gave her a new name, ‘Shimizu Rei’.”

Lin Jiashu's irrelevant answer made Vermouth frown, but she quickly received an explanation: "No wonder even without the memory, I could sense the abnormality in her various instinctive reactions... So that's the Curaçao you mentioned before?"

Amnesia?

Vermouth was stunned.

The unexpected situation left her at a loss for how to handle it. Was what Jundu said true?

She looked into the distance. The children had taken Curaçao to ride the Ferris wheel, but an accident occurred during the elevator ride—Genta Kojima fell off the elevator handrail. Upon seeing this, Curaçao immediately flipped over and jumped out, performing an incredible rescue.

Her resolute willingness to risk her life left Vermouth speechless.

Curaçao... is absolutely insane!

Witnessing her becoming the center of attention as she worried about whether the children were injured, and then being surrounded by the park's medical staff, Vermouth's expression tightened.

"Wow, that's amazing... I'm actually quite interested in her."

Lin Jiashu said with a smile.

“She can’t be your bait,” Vermouth said coldly. “She’s Rum’s subordinate. Although she’s lost her memory now, she might be in danger if she remembers.”

"Of course I know that."

Lin Jiashu smiled.

However, he knew that what Vermouth said was completely unfounded—after Curaçao regained her memories, she would want to completely abandon the darkness of her past.

That was the perfect opportunity for Lin Jiashu to take advantage of the situation.

Rum...

It's all for Rum—

After all his scheming, he actually managed to learn a man's name, a fact that almost made Lin Jiashu burst out laughing.

However, Curaçao should be able to get something with a rum vibe, or an autograph or something else... If that's the case, she'll have to get a little closer to Koizumi Akako.

Lin Jiashu was pondering these things in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and composed.

After Curaçao was checked and confirmed to be alright, she seemed eager to take the children on a ride on the Ferris wheel, so they boarded the elevator again. Conan, however, was too busy thinking about the strange skills the children had displayed and didn't join them.

"Curaçao must be brought back."

"Then you'd better hurry up, after all, Conan has already called the police... who knows, the police might already be on their way here."

"..."

Vermouth left without saying a word in front of Hayashi Yoshiki.

On the other side, Curaçao, who had already boarded the Ferris wheel, was enjoying the view from above with several children. Although she had no memory of it, the children's chattering made her feel incredibly relaxed.

Until she noticed the five-colored rainbow lights specially arranged by the amusement park under the Ferris wheel—the moment those five colors entered her eyes, her brain began to feel a needle-like pain again, and a strong sense of discomfort and dizziness rushed over her all at once, but before she could recover, the lighting effects below suddenly became even stronger.

"Uh... Ah... Ah!"
