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

"what?"

Amuro Toru was stunned.

He looked at Lin Jiashu in astonishment, then at the densely printed novel in his hand, and he couldn't hold back his expression a little: "BOSS?"

"We'd better hurry and head to the Haido City Hotel now."

Lin Jiashu said as he stood up.

Shocked by the sudden assertion, Shinname Kaori had just come to her senses, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but feel nervous again: "Mr. Lin, is my father in danger?"

"It's hard to say... But judging from the signature of Mr. Niname every time he writes "To be continued", something might have happened to him."

As soon as Hayashi Yoshiki finished speaking, Amuro Toru immediately turned to the end of each issue of the novel and took a look.

--From the first issue to the end of the sixth issue, the handwritten signature of Shinmei Rentaro is slightly different, but starting from the seventh issue, the signature is no longer handwritten but a photocopy of the signature from the sixth issue is reused.

Did you even notice this detail?!

There was no time to be too surprised. Toru Amuro showed his good qualities as an assistant. He followed the man out and took the driver's seat on his own initiative.

After Lin Jiashu and Xinming Xiangbaoli sat down, he started the car and drove towards Beihu Hotel.

It was only then that he asked his own question: "Boss, why is it the Beihu Restaurant?"

"The main key in the first issue of the novel is that according to the apex of the title, the top word of all the lines is half, and two adjacent words can form a new word..."

"At first, I could decipher the complete sentence, but after that, I couldn't use this method to decipher the code."

"But in fact, the subsequent content only needs to be interpreted in combination with the setting that Mr. Xinming added for himself in Paris, France, and the grammar of the silent H in the work, and then the content can be converted into Japanese romanization."

Lin Jiashu sat in the passenger seat, took out his cell phone and replied to the message while explaining.

Looking at his nonchalant look, Toru Amuro felt a huge wave of emotion in his heart.

So strong...

Not to mention that he immediately locked onto the possibility of clues in the novel, and looking at the dense pile of text, the entire decryption process probably didn't take more than five minutes.

He even had time to notice the subtle changes in his signature.

What a terrifying observation and thinking speed!

Chapter 157: New Test and Amuro Toru's New Idea

Beihu Municipal Hotel

When Toru Amuro arrived quickly by car and the three of them went straight to room 2407 on the th floor of the hotel, Shinna Kaori ran into her surprised mother there.

Her father, Niina Rentaro, was lying on the bed very weakly at this time, and the family doctor next to him was busy checking his physical condition.

"what happened?"

"What happened to Dad?"

Shinna Xiang Baoli ran forward and looked at her father in panic.

Only then did her mother come forward to explain.

Shinmei Rentaro is actually in the terminal stage of cancer and has been unable to move since two weeks ago.

Although he has enjoyed countless praises as a mystery writer for forty years, there is one other kind of happiness that he has never experienced - that is the hope of seeing readers solve the puzzles he has set before he reveals the answers.

If he could see the confident and proud expressions of his readers before he died, he would die without regrets in this life.

His wife and attending physician moved here with him to help him fulfill his wish and to assist him in completing the novel... As for the reason for not telling his daughter Shinna Xiang Baoli, it was simply an old man being willful for the sake of authenticity.

A little bit neurotic.

"Boss, did you see it in advance?"

"what?"

Amuro Toru whispered to Hayashi Yoshiki, who was still holding the magazine. "According to the code we deciphered, Mr. Niname wrote something like 'Please save me quickly' at the very front. But you didn't call the police on the way here, and you haven't been worried about any criminals lately."

"Ah, because Mr. Niname was no longer able to sign his own works, which means that his works were all dictated and typed on a computer... If even one word was wrong, the entire meaning would be wrong." Lin Jiashu laughed at this. "If there really were some criminal controlling him and forcing him to create, wouldn't it be strange to go to this extent?"

"I see."

Toru Amuro was full of admiration.

He finally understood why the reports about Lin Jiashu in the newspapers were always so exaggerated, and even those people in the Metropolitan Police Department praised him so much.

Such a powerful talent, perhaps we can bring him into the public security department?

If it succeeds, Amuro Tomi, who is usually surrounded by a group of stupid subordinates, will feel reliable just by imagining that scene.

At this time, Lin Jiashu walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the room.

This is the superior suite on the 24th floor of Beihu Hotel, and the view is really nice.

The crying voice of Shinna Kaori could be heard from inside the room. The doctor told her that her father might not survive the night.

Lin Jiashu took out his notebook and pen.

【New name Rentaro】

Cause of death: Died in sleep

His body, worn down by cancer, began to regain consciousness, gradually forgetting the pain. He passed away painlessly in his sleep at 11:06 a.m. on November 1th.

The Death Note cannot kill a person whose remaining human unit has less than 12 minutes of lifespan.

However, Shinmei Rentaro can probably live for more than an hour or two, so the Death Note can have an effect on him.

In some cases, the Death Note can actually extend the life of the person whose name is written... However, this also requires observing basic rules.

There is a limit to the last glimmer of life before death. Allowing a dying cancer patient to extend his life by 23 days using the maximum time that a notebook can control will most likely cause him to die of a heart attack on the spot.

In normal terms, today is November 11th, and November 5th will arrive in an hour and a half - but in an hour it will become October.

November 11th will probably come in about thirty days.

Lin Jiashu really wanted to see whether the new name Rentaro could survive for thirty days unreasonably due to the influence of this bug.

A moment later, a cry of surprise was suddenly heard from inside the room.

"dad!?"

"Mr. Niname, how are you feeling!?"

"I...feel okay?"

Shinmei Rentaro, who had been lying in bed unable to move for two weeks, suddenly sat up on his own with great energy.

After the initial surprise, several people thought of the term "last flicker of light".

His wife and children immediately began to cry.

Even the doctor looked worried.

On the other hand, the newly named Rentaro was very happy. When Lin Jiashu saw him, he was very excited. "So that's how it is. It was Mr. Lin who cracked my code, right?"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Niname."

"...I'm so sorry to meet you like this, hahaha! As a fellow mystery writer, I really enjoy your work. I never thought you'd be the one to solve my mystery in the end. I'm so honored!"

"Ah, as a fellow writer, I understand your thoughts, Mr. Niname... Likewise, I'm honored to be able to help you fulfill your wish in the end."

Lin Jiashu behaved gently and politely, and his calm attitude and smile made the other party feel very satisfied, which indeed made up for the regret.

Amuro Toru watched the scene with a smile.

In his last moments (as he thought), Niina Rentaro thanked Hayashi Yoshiki a lot, but after that he spent more time talking and spending time with his wife and children.

At this time, Hayashi Yoshiki and Amuro Toru quietly left the suite.

As they got into the car and started it, Amuro Toru asked, "Boss, how are you going to charge for this commission?"

“No need to collect.”

"Ok?"

"Have you forgotten? I don't accept missing persons requests."

Lin Jiashu responded with a smile.

Amuro Toru was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help but smile.

He was really more interested in recruiting such an empathetic and capable detective into the public security force.

"Boss, what do you think of the tea you just drank?" asked Amuro Toru with a smile.

"Well, not bad."

"Haha, that's the tea my friend and I asked for. If the boss likes it, I'll get some more."

"Really? That'll trouble you."

Buzz～～!

At this moment, the phone vibrated.

Lin Jiashu opened the text message page and found that it was another color photo sent by Shimizu Reiko.

This time it wasn't her figure, but her two slender white fingers. The nails were beautifully trimmed and painted with red nail polish, and there was a sticky, rich transparent mucus hanging between her index and middle fingers...

Lin Jiashu just glanced at it and still ignored it.

"Want to find a place for a late-night snack?"

"Okay, Boss, what do you want to eat?"

"How about McDonald's?"

“…That’s fine.”

I thought he would say a place like an izakaya, but I didn't expect it to be McDonald's.

Amuro Toru, who was driving, was silent for a moment, but still nodded with a smile.

Chapter 158: Conan's Usage

Shinna Xiang Baoli did not visit again until the fourth day.

She made a special appointment to meet with Lin Jiashu, dressed up carefully and brought her things to the office.

"It looks like the new Rentaro-sensei is in pretty good shape."

"Yes."

In response to what Lin Jiashu said, Xin Ming Xiang Bao Li nodded at first, and then was a little surprised: "But how did Mr. Lin know this?"

"I think it's because of the relaxed smile on Ms. Kaori's face."

Amuro Toru made some tea and brought it to the two of them, smiling as he spoke.

Shinna Kaori, who had realized what was happening, immediately started laughing.

Her father, Niname Rentaro, has indeed been in very good condition these days. According to him, he doesn't even feel any pain, and he is becoming more and more energetic, which is completely different from what they had previously thought, that he was just having a last gasp.

Shinmei Rentaro's family doctor was about to re-examine him, but he waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary.

His wish has been fulfilled, and he doesn't expect his body, which has been tortured by illness, to really perform a miracle. It is enough for him to spend more time with his family without pain in the last little time left... After hearing what he said, the family doctor finally respected his decision.

"Teacher Lin, thank you very much for your help. This is the commission fee I prepared--"

Shinname Kaori took out an envelope from her bag, placed it on the table with both hands and moved it towards Lin Jiashu.

It looks like a bulging, very thick envelope.

However, Lin Jiashu still refused to accept the commission fee on the grounds that he did not accept such commissions. In the end, Xin Mingxiang Baoli did not insist any more and left the office after staying for a while.

"Ms. Kaori is also a beautiful and outstanding woman. Doesn't the boss feel it's a pity to turn down her invitation like this?"

"If I keep going like this, sooner or later I won't have any space of my own."

"oops?"

Hearing this, Amuro revealed an intriguing smile: "It seems that the boss must have had a lot of trouble in this regard."
