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

Because of Suzuki Tomoko and Hayashi Yoshiki's respect, the Inspector of Investigation Section 2 didn't stop him. He coughed and said, "We finally caught Kaito Kid. Ginzo is really paying attention now. Not only did he set up a sentry outside the room, he even personally watched over him in the cabin."

However, after passing through layers of guards and finally arriving at the cabin, the group saw Nakamori Ginzo lying there soundly sleeping, while Kaito Kidd had long since disappeared.

"What--!?"

"Silver Three! Silver Three!!!"

Officer Chaki immediately rushed over and shook Nakamori Ginzo awake. Nakamori shook his head, his consciousness hazy. "What, what's going on? Have we arrived yet?"

"Kaito Kidd has disappeared!"

"--What!?"

Ginzo Nakamori was startled.

Lin Jiashu walked into the cabin and found a note on the floor beside him.

I lost this action.

I'll give up on the dark night stars

But next time we fight, just wait for the surprise I have prepared for you!

--Kaito Kidd

"Is this the kind of harsh words a kid would say after losing a fight?"

Lin Jiashu just smiled when he saw this.

It was within his expectations that Kaito Kidd would escape after being handed over to the police, after all, he did have that ability.

However, regarding the harsh words he left behind, Lin Jiashu thought that since he happened to be planning to look for Koizumi Hongzi recently, he might as well go and meet Heiyu Kuaidou.

Lin Jiashu was quite interested in his disguise skills.

“Ha-choo!!!”

next day

Ekoda High School 2nd Grade Class B

Kuroba Kaito sat in his seat, blowing his nose with a tissue in a listless manner.

"Kaito, do you have a cold? You've been sneezing all day."

His childhood sweetheart, Aoko Nakamori, poked his shoulder with the end of a pen in the back seat.

"what?"

Kuroba Kaito's eyes were a little red. He sniffed and said, "I don't know. Maybe I caught a cold from the change of seasons."

He said this, but he knew very well that he caught a cold from the sea water - well, after he escaped from Ginzo Nakamori's guard last night, he almost swam ashore.

Because the police surveillance was very strict at the time, there were several police patrol boats patrolling around the Sally Beth cruise ship, and there was even a police helicopter in the sky... In this situation, he had no way of escaping with the help of a hang glider.

It's all that bastard's fault!

Thinking of the punch he had given him, Kuroba Kaito felt his abdomen still aching, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

Even though he made some harsh remarks before leaving yesterday, Kuroba Kaito didn't want to face that guy face to face for the time being if possible.

"If that doesn't work, let's go to the infirmary and get some cold medicine," Nakamori Aoko advised.

"Ah, I'll go..."

After Kuroba Kaito responded listlessly, the homeroom teacher suddenly appeared at the classroom door. She glanced at where Kuroba Kaito was and said, "Kaito, someone's looking for you outside."

“Ah? Ah…”

He walked over.

It should be Grandpa Terai coming to deliver cold medicine, right?

Kuroba Kaito thought so as a matter of course, but the moment the homeroom teacher saw the person who came to find him, his whole face changed color.

"Good morning, Kuroba-san."

Lin Jiashu greeted him with a gentle smile, "I brought you some cold medicine. Does your abdomen still hurt?"

"you......!"

what happened?

Bringing cold medicine is not a big deal, but asking yourself if your abdomen hurts is a bit scary for Kuroba Kaito.

He almost failed to keep his poker face, but still held on to hope.

"Thank you. I've been sneezing a lot today...but what do you mean by abdominal pain?"

"this."

Lin Jiashu clenched his fist.

Kuroba Kaito suddenly felt the pain in his abdomen intensify.

Chapter 77: Invisible Ink

No, I absolutely cannot admit it--

Kuroba Kaito unconsciously broke out in sweat on his forehead, but a dazed smile appeared on his face.

He is the kind of person who can think calmly when the situation is more critical. He knows clearly that if his identity is exposed, his life will completely collapse.

The school life at the age of seventeen, the childhood sweetheart who has been with him since childhood...all of this will probably be far away from him by then.

"Excuse me, teacher, can you please let me and Kuroba-san talk alone?"

"Oh, yes, please, Mr. Lin."

After Hayashi Yoshiki made this request, Kuroba Kaito's homeroom teacher was particularly understanding.

The other party had no doubts.

After all, Hayashi Yoshiki's name and photo are still in the newspapers - as the detective who actually caught Kaito Kid, he now occupies the largest page in almost all major newspapers.

After the homeroom teacher's back had gone far away, Hayashi Yoshiki looked at Kuroba Kaito's poker face and smiled:

"Don't worry, I'm not going to report you, and I don't have a recorder or anything like that on me."

"...I don't really understand what you're saying, but thank you so much for bringing me some cold medicine."

"If you don't admit it, I'll go and ask Inspector Nakamori to bring fish with him whenever he goes after Kaito Kid."

"you--!"

This man!

How could this detective, with such a smiling face, say something so vicious!?

wrong.....

How could he investigate himself so thoroughly in just one night?

Kuroba Kaito suddenly realized something was wrong.

Unless he knew his identity early on and had a good understanding of himself...

Lin Jiashu then threw the cold medicine in his hand to him.

Kuroba Kaito reached out to take it, and then he said, "Let's find a more suitable place to talk?"

"....., then let's go to the rooftop."

He led Lin Jiashu to the rooftop of the teaching building.

The sunshine is pretty nice today.

"How did you know I had a cold today?"

"I guess, because the water in Tokyo Bay is very cold."

"I've already told you I don't understand what you're saying." Kuroba Kaito's main strategy was to deny it, as the other party had no evidence anyway.

"Hmm. Anyway, as an apology for the punch I gave you yesterday, I'll tell you a secret, Kuroba Kaito."

"?"

"Your father, Kuroba Toichi."

Lin Jiashu, who was standing in front of the guardrail on the rooftop overlooking the playground, turned his head and looked at him and smiled, "He's still alive and well."

"....What did you say?"

Kuroba Kaito almost thought he was hallucinating, "Wait, can you say that again?"

“…”

"How do you know? No, who are you? Where is my dad now?"

"You ask too many questions. I don't know the details, but what is certain is that the mysterious organization you are currently fighting against, searching for the legendary gem 'Pandora', did not succeed in killing your father."

"You also know that organization?"

"Are you willing to admit it now?"

Lin Jiashu looked at him and smiled.

Kuroba Kaito's mood at the moment was a little difficult to describe.

He has always been alone in fighting against the mysterious organization. At most, Hakuba Tan cooperated with him once when the illusionist who called himself "Spider" attacked... It would be a lie to say that he, a high school student, had no psychological pressure when facing such a group of ruthless murderers.

"Then who are you?"

"As for me, I share the same stance as you, so I should be considered your companion."

"what?!"

It would have been fine if Lin Jiashu hadn't said this, but as soon as he said this, Kuroba Kaito's brows raised: "You punched me like that yesterday and arrested me and handed me over to the police, and you told me you were my companion!?"

"After all, I received the commission."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"How about I just give Officer Nakamori a call after all?"

"I'm so sorry, Master Lin Jiashu!"

"...Well, I have another piece of good news for you. The illusionist 'Spider' who previously attempted to assassinate you is now dead. He was killed by someone from another mysterious organization."

“…”

Kuroba Kaito was stunned.

As a high school student, he suddenly didn't know how to react when he heard the news of someone's death.

He really had too many questions and things he wanted to complain about, but they all flooded into his mind and he didn't know where to start.

But before that, Lin Jiashu suddenly looked at him seriously and asked, "Do you still remember the killer from the mysterious organization that has been hunting you down?"

"Are you talking about that guy named Snake?"

"Snake, Snake...snake?"

"That guy is very dangerous. Every time we meet, he will shoot without hesitation and even use hostages to force me to surrender." Kuroba Kaito's face darkened.

"I'm sorry I don't know him."

As Lin Jiashu said this, he took out a notebook from his pocket, opened it to a certain page, and handed it to Kuroba Kaito: "Draw the face and name of the person opposite on it, so I can go investigate."

“…Drawing?”

Kuroba Kaito had no doubts.

He just thought about it for a moment, and after thinking that Lin Jiashu might really be reliable, he tried to draw a portrait of Snake on that page and wrote his name.

After he handed the notes to Lin Jiashu, he saw him smiling and said:

"Okay, let's stop here for now. Go back to the classroom and take your cold medicine so you can attend class well."

"...I would do the same without you telling me."
