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

Interestingly, when Yoshiki Hayashi was brought back from detention, the atmosphere between Nanatsu Koshimizu and Tooru Amuro, who had returned to work, was extremely tense—even with Yoshiki Hayashi speaking up, Nanatsu Koshimizu looked at him with suspicion.

"Mr. Lin, you've arrived? An invitation was delivered this morning."

"invitation?"

"Here."

Lin Jiashu took the invitation from her hand.

It was a beautifully crafted wedding invitation, with the names of Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru written in gold lettering, and the date was three days later.

Are these two getting married?

And the timeframe is so tight.

Yoshiki Hayashi glanced at Amuro Tooru's workstation and smiled.

"Miss Koshimizu, today is July 13th, right? Are there any holidays in a few days?"

"Ah, there's no special holiday." Koshimizu Nanatsuki was already used to Hayashi Yoshiki's inability to remember the time. She raised her head and thought seriously for a moment. "But Halloween is in a little over a week, isn't it?"

"As expected?"

Lin Jiashu smiled.

Anything planned for Halloween?

"Nothing much, just wondering if there will be big fireworks displays for Halloween?"

"...Where will there be fireworks for Halloween?"

Chapter 47: Ai Haibara: "Delete the video right now!"

Mihua Auditorium

The guests who were invited to the wedding stood below the stage and applauded the couple on the stage to send their blessings.

Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi——

However, just as the wedding ceremony was beginning, the church door was suddenly kicked open.

Four menacing-looking men in suits appeared outside the door, each wielding a long knife and a dagger, glaring menacingly at the two people on the stage.

"Miwako!"

"If you marry a guy like that, I'll kill you!"

"Go to hell, Takagi!"

The four of them charged toward the two people on the stage with the force of tearing silk.

The guests on both sides were already stunned by this sudden scene. Amid screams, Inspector Megure, who was playing the priest on the stage, suddenly took off his wig and fake beard, pointed at people, and shouted: "Arrest them!"

Suddenly, a large number of police officers in suits emerged from all directions.

Kogoro Mouri was the first to rush forward. He dodged the thug's dagger with a quick movement, found an opportunity to strike the man's wrist to knock the dagger away, and then threw him over his shoulder.

"That's really amazing."

Seeing this, Lin Jiashu, who was standing to the side, sighed. As the criminals and more police officers approached, he reached out and grabbed the arm of Xiaolan, who was nervously trying to help, and pulled her and Yuanzi, whose face was tense, to the back.

"Brother Jiashu?"

Lin Jiashu watched with a smile.

The four criminals were quickly subdued by more than a dozen police officers, who piled them on top of each other like a human pyramid.

Until one of the assailants struggled free and pulled out a gun.

Conan's expression changed instantly.

However, it was all too late. The assailant pulled the trigger on Sato Miwako on the stage, and the guests could only scream as Takagi Wataru fell to the ground after being shot in the chest while protecting Sato.

"Officer Takagi is dead."

"Yes, he died like a background character in a crime thriller who leaves no lasting impression."

Ai Haibara answered Yoshiki Hayashi's question in a calm voice from the side.

Sonoko trembled as she witnessed the horrific scene of Takagi Wataru being shot. Upon hearing Ai Haibara's cold-blooded comment, she looked at the indifferent little girl with a somewhat bewildered and unfamiliar gaze.

Ai Haibara, who noticed her gaze, was unimpressed; instead, she gave a cold smile.

It wasn't until Inspector Megure shouted, "Training over! What are you all doing? The groom's been shot! We need to reassess the security system!"

His words caused the police and criminals at the scene to slowly stand up again.

Takagi Wataru, who had already been shot, got up and looked at the red paint on his suit with a wry smile.

"Training over?"

The bizarre scene left the guests, including Xiaolan, looking completely bewildered.

"With Officer Takagi and Officer Sato announcing their marriage without any warning, and considering the lines those 'thugs' just shouted, only an idiot wouldn't realize it's all an act."

Ai Haibara made a cold remark.

Those who heard this from a primary school student were quite embarrassed.

"You arrogant brat..." Sonoko's lips twitched.

Lin Jiashu smiled and ruffled Haibara Ai's hair.

"Talking like that makes you seem unlovable."

"Ah, Officer Takagi got shot just now, that was so scary—" Haibara Ai said in a childish, sweet voice, her arms crossed. Her expression instantly turned cold. "Do I have to say that?...Hey! What did you film on your phone!?"

She was halfway through her sentence when she realized that Lin Jiashu's phone camera was pointed directly at her, and her expression immediately became tense.

"Isn't this cute?" Lin Jiashu smiled as he looked at the image on his phone.

"Deleted!"

"Oh no, my phone is dead."

He raised his hand slightly, and even if Ai Haibara jumped up, she couldn't reach his phone.

Seeing this, Xiaolan suddenly burst out laughing.

"Brother Jiashu, don't bully the little kid."

"But there's nothing you can do if your phone runs out of battery."

"..."

Ai Haibara glared at him through gritted teeth.

At this point, Inspector Megure began to explain the situation to the guests:

"Actually, this was a security rehearsal for the wedding of former Superintendent Nobumatsu Murakami. The former Superintendent Murakami was injured in the line of duty and left his post many years ago. He recently received a threatening letter just before his wedding, so his superiors specially approved us to be in charge of the wedding security. This simulated attack training was arranged to ensure that nothing went wrong."

"I'm sorry to have startled everyone."

Those invited to the wedding were all people with connections to the Metropolitan Police Department, and everyone understood after Inspector Megure explained the reason.

However, since the rehearsal had been called off, there was no reason for anyone to stay any longer, and people began to leave one after another.

"Let's go too. And how about we grab some cake on the way?" Lin Jiashu said to the group with a smile.

"Great! Great!" Sonoko was the first to raise her hand, excitedly saying, "Yoshiki-nii, let's go together!"

"Humph"

Seeing the gentle and kind demeanor he displayed in front of the girl, Ai Haibara snorted somewhat unhappily.

Lin Jiashu noticed, but just smiled.

So the group left the church and started walking outside.

"Delete the video quickly."

"I'll delete it after I charge my phone when I get back."

"Come on, you'll definitely save the video to your computer first thing when you get back."

Have you decided what kind of cake you want to eat later?

Does this guy think she's like Genta, someone who can't resist food?

She snorted and ignored Lin Jiashu.

However, if you look closely, you can actually see that the base of her ears is a little red.

She was incredibly ashamed.

"Honestly, you fooled us all just now. I was genuinely sending them my blessings."

As she walked ahead of Ran, Sonoko couldn't help but purse her lips.

"Yes, it feels like we're really married." Xiaolan nodded in agreement.

Genta Kojima was also complaining about not being able to get a free lavish wedding banquet.

When we left the church and came out onto the street, there was indeed not much traffic in the afternoon. As we walked along the path, a tall foreigner carrying a briefcase came towards us.

The other person's pale skin and unkempt appearance were indeed quite eye-catching.

However, no one paid any attention to him as he walked over with his head down. It was only when he passed by Ai Haibara that she noticed a piece of paper that had suddenly fallen out of his pocket. This made her subconsciously call out to him, "Um, you dropped something."

The other party was taken aback.

When she turned around, Ai Haibara had already picked up the piece of paper and handed it to her.

Because of the height difference, the other person squatted down to take the piece of paper and thanked him.

After saying it was nothing, Ai Haibara turned around to catch up with the others.

The Russian man put the piece of paper in his pocket, while a cracked iPad he was holding in his other hand suddenly lit up automatically, the screen turning bright red and getting brighter and brighter.

The man seemed to notice something was wrong and stared blankly at the iPad in his hand.

Ai Haibara, unaware of what was going on, also instinctively stood there.

"Ai!"

Lin Jiashu suddenly grabbed her.

The small body felt extremely light, and was easily pulled away from its original position by Lin Jiashu. Just as Haibara Ai was wondering what to do, she suddenly caught a bright purple light out of the corner of her eye.

That's fire...

boom!!!!!!!!!

With a deafening roar, the spot where the Russian man had been standing was instantly engulfed by a massive purple flame.

The impact of the explosion ripped a corner of the ground beneath the man's feet, and Kogoro Mouri and the others standing not far away also felt an overwhelming heat and a strong tremor in that instant—

"A-Shu!?"

"Ai!!"

"Brother Jiashu!?"

"—!"

Amidst the anxious shouts of the group, Ai Haibara, who was being firmly protected, felt her heart suddenly clench.

Cointreau! ?

She looked up in alarm.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Yoshiki Hayashi, who held Ai Haibara in his arms with his back to the explosion, spoke calmly.

The explosion was indeed quite powerful, but at a distance of six or seven meters, it shouldn't have directly injured him.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Yoshiki Hayashi, who was protecting Ai Haibara, had stood up and seemed to be unharmed.

Only then did Kogoro Mouri have the chance to look at the raging purple flames—even after the explosion, the spot where the man's body had been was still ablaze, the eerie purple flames burning wildly with astonishing force and showing no signs of abating.

"What is this?"

The piece of paper that Ai Haibara had picked up and handed to the other person earlier was blown into the air by the explosion and ignited by purple flames. It drifted down from mid-air and immediately set the nearby lawn ablaze.
