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

You're saying "?" to me, right?

Lin Jiashu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then the next second, he received another message from Gin.

Gin: "What date is tomorrow?"

Hayashi Yoshiki: "June 6th."

Gin: "What about the day after tomorrow?"

Hayashi Yoshiki: "...So the staff here are actually quite close? You actually care about me so much, Gin."

Not giving a direct answer is considered as a tacit agreement.

Gin knew that Lin Jiashu was referring to his investigation into his visit to the psychiatric department, but he didn't care about it.

But does this guy Jundu really have a mental illness?

Gin: "Is that doctor reliable?"

Lin Jiashu: "Why, do you need psychological counseling too?"

This bastard...

Gin's blood pressure usually didn't rise when he was having a gunfight with others, but when he saw these words, the hand holding the phone couldn't help but tighten.

Gin: "I'll arrange for another doctor to see you later."

After saying this, he put away his phone, too lazy to continue.

This chapter is in 4K, and the case process was written in a hurry, otherwise it would be too watery.

Chapter 57: Hypnosis and Death Note

The story of the groom poisoning his bride appeared in the newspapers the next day.

This episode has become quite popular, probably because the plot is complete and involves the police's mistakes from twenty years ago.

Lin Jiashu's name and photo appeared in the newspaper again.

He came to the cardiology clinic of Beihua Pharmacy Hospital this afternoon for treatment.

"I haven't seen you for a week. Mr. Lin has become even more famous."

Fenghu Kyosuke, dressed in a white coat, came to his seat and jokingly said, "At this rate, Mr. Lin's signature on my medical record will be sold for a high price."

"Then why don't you just use the signature as my consultation fee?"

"Haha, this is something you can consider."

Fudo Kyosuke laughed heartily.

After some pleasantries, he started counting the time and got straight to the point: "Has Mr. Lin's condition improved recently?"

“It hasn’t, but it hasn’t gotten any worse either.”

"Hmm... As you said before, your time disorientation has been going on for quite some time. It's certainly not going to get better all of a sudden." Fudo Kyosuke wasn't surprised. "When you say no worsening, you mean your overall condition, right? Including your emotions and memory?"

“Yes, none of that has changed.”

"I have to envy you, Mr. Lin. According to the test results, your emotions and mental abilities are both incredibly healthy."

"..."

"Do you feel that life is troubled by time issues now?"

"It would be a lie to say I wasn't affected. But lately, someone has been encouraging me and thoughtfully telling me tomorrow's date every night. Do you think this will have any impact, Mr. Fuuto?"

"I don't think it will affect you. But after learning tomorrow's date, Mr. Lin, you still can't connect tomorrow with today's date, right?"

"Yes."

"Ok."

Kyosuke Fudo nodded and wrote down the details in the medical record.

Lin Jiashu took a sip of water.

He looked at the time on his watch and confirmed that it had been five minutes since he came in and sat down, releasing the hypnotic gas. Then he released red light waves for hypnosis at Fuuto Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Fudo stopped recording.

"Mr. Fudo, how much influence do you think names have on people psychologically?"

"As for names, this is a complex and multidimensional topic."

Fuuto Kyosuke responded.

After Lin Jiashu asked further questions, Fenghu Kyosuke began to tell the story:

"First of all, a person's name has a psychological effect on them. I've seen some people want to change their personality by changing their name."

"This does have a psychological basis. People change their names to give themselves certain hints, or to let go of the past."

"Another function of a name is individual identification. As an emotional symbol, it will continue to gain recognition and self-awareness as a child develops, and the imprint will be deepened again and again during the process of growth..."

Kyosuke Fudo continued to explain.

He is indeed a very articulate psychologist who has a lot to say.

Lin Jiashu listened and thought, and after waiting for Fenghu Kyosuke to stop, he brought up another topic: "What if a person has lived with his or her own name for 20 or 30 years, and one day suddenly decides to change his or her name, Mr. Fenghu, do you think he or she will identify more with the original name or the changed name?"

"If it's on the surface, then it's probably the name that was changed later. But subconsciously, I'm sure I'll be more attached to the original name."

"After all, that name becomes a deeper and deeper imprint as we grow older, becoming an indelible symbol in our subconscious... For example, some people are called by nicknames by their elders when they were children in the countryside. Even if they haven't used that nickname in decades, if they're suddenly called by a familiar voice, they'll probably still subconsciously turn around to look."

Lin Jiashu nodded.

The imprint of a name that is deeply rooted in the subconscious mind is indeed impossible to erase.

——But that’s the general situation.

Stroking the ring on his index finger, Lin Jiashu thought for a moment.

"Are you satisfied with your current name, Mr. Fudo?"

"As for the name, it's okay. I don't have any complaints."

"Have you ever considered living under a different name?"

"Maybe I did consider changing to a more eye-catching name when I was a student, but I was still a teenager then..."

"I see. But Mr. Fudo is a very good man. I always feel that a simple name like 'Kyosuke' is a bit too common."

"is it?"

Kyosuke Fudo is a murderer who is hiding very deeply.

Lin Jiashu vaguely remembered this.

After obtaining the spider's illusion props and confirming its hypnotic ability, he quickly realized that this could be used to verify the Death Note's logic for determining names.

——Is it determined by the name that is unanimously recognized by the society and others, or by the name that the target himself subconsciously and subjectively recognizes?

Would it be effective to use hypnosis to distort someone's perception of their name and successfully change it, and then write their original name in the Death Note?

If the original name no longer has any effect, then write the name on the Death Note first, set the person to die in 23 days, and constantly hypnotize the person to change his or her name during these 23 days. Can the person whose name is written survive successfully?

Lin Jiashu cares a lot about these things.

If the above tests are successful, he will think of some special uses.

"..."

Thinking this in his heart, he began to try to hypnotize Kyosuke Fudo to change his name.

This is not something that will work in the short term.

After an hour-long psychological consultation, Lin Jiashu quickly left the Mika Pharmacist Hospital.

Get in the car and fasten your seat belt.

While starting the engine, Lin Jiashu took out his cell phone and typed a text message.

Lin Jiashu: "The doctor said on the medical record that I'm healthy, so there's no need to worry."

Gin: "OK"

Gin: "I've found a few rental spaces suitable for you to open a detective agency. I've sent you the addresses and photos."

Ok?

He even took care of such trivial matters for me?

Lin Jiashu was a little surprised.

Hi, it seems no one has guessed this usage yet.

Chapter 58: Hirota Masami

The office that Gin arranged for me was quite nice.

The stand-alone two-story building faces the commercial street. Its style is very similar to Maori's, but it is more eye-catching.

Kindaichi Detective Agency

Lin Jiashu had already decided on this name for the agency; it was just a gimmick.

After all, he is essentially still a mystery novelist, and has developed many fans through this identity.

The name Kindaichi will not only make those who know him smile, but it will also probably be used as a "topic of conversation" by fans, so it should be quite popular.

But after all, this is the place arranged by Gin, so we have to check in detail whether there are any eavesdropping devices or other things first.

Lin Jiashu's anti-detection awareness is pretty good.

At least they are much better than the basic members trained by the winery... Well, but in fact there are also code members like Vodka.

After a thorough inspection, Lin Jiashu found nothing suspicious.

After a quick tidy up, he went out to find someone to make advertising signs and light boxes, and then checked the time - 16:43

It's still a bit early.

Lin Jiashu picked up his phone and opened the text message interface. At the top of the list was a message from Okino Yoko.

"Yoshiki-kun, tomorrow is June 6th."

「(?o?o)ノYeah」

This is the text message she sent at nine o'clock last night.

"Yeah, I remembered it carefully. It's the date, right?"

「Yes(?▽｀)ノ?」

She really likes using emoticons.

Yoko Okino seemed very excited.

In the chat after 9 o'clock last night, she kept sharing what happened at work and some gossip that was only circulated in the entertainment industry. She seemed very talkative and lively.

"I won't be out until around seven, is that okay with Yoshiki-kun?"

She sent another one a few minutes ago.

Lin Jiashu: "No problem, then when the time is almost up, I'll take a taxi to your place, Yoko."

Because he said he wanted to drink last time, Lin Jiashu didn't plan to drive this time.

After receiving an "OK" reply from the other side, Lin Jiashu put away his phone and planned to go to the bank first while he was free.

——Shuangye Publishing House just deposited this quarter's funds yesterday. Not only did Lin Jiashu's passbook have to be replaced as it was full, but he also had to withdraw some more cash.

Take a number and queue up

After about ten minutes, Lin Jiashu was standing in front of a bank employee with a sign on his chest that read "Guangtian Masami".
