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

But just as Rugetsu Minemizu was about to put the necklace on Tokiwa Mio, a third person's voice came from the backstage: "Stop, Mr. Rugetsu."

"!?"

In an instant, Ruyue Fengshui glanced over with sharp eyes.

A young man in a black suit and slicked-back hair stood there, his expression stern as he stared at the necklace in his hand. "As expected, you want to kill Miss Tokiwa on this stage."

"what?"

Mio Tokiwa almost thought she was hallucinating.

But Ruyue Fengshui did not refute.

She subconsciously turned around and saw the pearl necklace in Ruyue Fengshui's hand, and the light-reflecting piano wire hanging from the necklace with a hook...

With just one glance, Tokiwa Mio realized how dangerous this necklace was.

But this?

The shocking truth left Tokiwa Mio speechless for a moment.

"The opening is scheduled for 20: PM, right?" Lin Jiashu smiled at her and said, looking at his phone, "There are less than ten seconds left. Miss Tokiwa, you should finish your own business first."

At this time, Inspector Megure hurried into the backstage with several of his subordinates, and they stared at Rugetsu Minemizu with a fierce look.

The curtain on the stage is about to open.

Realizing that he had been exposed, Ruyue Fengshui no longer tried to do anything. He turned around and walked away in silence.

With her thoughts in a state of confusion, Tokiwa Mio adjusted herself in the last two seconds, stood in front of the stage and began her speech.

When he heard Tokiwa Mio specifically thank him in her opening speech and said that she had found the best location in the building to build a painting studio for him, the originally expressionless Rugetsu Minemizu was stunned.

His alert eyes widened a little, and the pearl necklace in his hand accidentally fell to the ground.

"Are you surprised?"

Lin Jiashu said calmly, "Ms. Tokiwa didn't know that the two buildings blocked the view of your studio, but she still put a lot of effort into preparing this surprise."

The water of Ruyue Peak remained silent.

"So, the murderer of these murders is really Mr. Ruyue Fengshui?"

Megure Jusan walked up with a serious face.

Ruyue Fengshui did not respond, but just looked at Lin Jiashu, probably also concerned about how this young man noticed him.

"The shattered wine glass left at the murder scene was your way of venting your anger, Mr. Ruyue, right?"

"The upside-down wine glass represents Mount Fuji, and its shattering symbolizes the destruction of your studio by these two buildings. I asked the kids from the Junior Detective League about this before, and they said that when they visited your studio, they saw you painting Mount Fuji, but the curtains were always closed."

"Afterwards, I went to the house myself to take a look."

"Also, there's a photo of Councilman Oki Iwamatsu's death. His blood clearly splattered on the wardrobe, but there's a strangely missing spot along the blood trail—perhaps that's where your artwork originally hung?"

Lin Jiashu said this calmly, then turned to Ruyue Fengshui and asked, "You didn't kill Mr. Yuan Jiaming, did you?"

"No," Ruyue Fengshui replied, "I did intend to go over and kill him, but when I got in, I found he had already been killed by someone else. So I just left a teacup there and smashed it."

"Sure enough. I was thinking you were the murderer, but I hesitated because you had an alibi for the time of Yuan Jiaming's death during the police investigation."

"So that's why you followed me backstage, huh?"

"Ah, according to my inference, if the murderer was you, you would definitely choose to do this at this time."

"..."

Ruyue Fengshui didn't say anything else.

Megure Jusan looked at Hayashi Yoshiki with some confusion: "Brother Lin, why do you say that he will definitely kill Tokiwa Mio at this time?"

"Because Mr. Ruyue is very angry," Lin Jiashu said with a smile, "The broken teacup wasn't some disguise as a serial killer, but he genuinely wanted to use the broken teacup to vent his emotions."

"Of all the people he wanted to kill, he probably hated Tokiwa-san the most. Yet, Mr. Kisaragi meticulously prepared a painting of Mount Fuji for her before the building's opening. Perhaps it was the use of Tokiwa-san's body to hang the painting of Mount Fuji in two during the opening of this hated building that would unleash all his rage."

Ruyue Fengshui looked at Lin Jiashu deeply.

Seeing that he had nothing to refute, Megure Jusan ordered his men to handcuff him.

After a while, Tokiwa Mio, who had finished her opening speech, returned to the backstage.

After learning the truth, her expression instantly became extremely complicated: "Teacher..."

Ruyue Fengshui closed his eyes and did not respond.

Chapter 218: Escape

boom! ! ! ! ! ! !

Shortly after the incident with Ruyue Fengshui ended and the guests were still discussing the fact that he was handcuffed, a sudden explosion shook the entire building.

suddenly,

The building, without power, went dark.

"what!!!"

"What happened?!"

"earthquake?"

"Why is the building shaking!?"

People in the venue screamed in surprise.

Everyone spontaneously ran to the floor-to-ceiling windows to observe what was happening outside - but it was too high up and they couldn't see anything clearly.

Tokiwa Mio immediately pulled out her phone and called the people below. The response she received made her scream uncontrollably, "What?! There was an explosion?"

"Explosion!? Which floor was it?"

"It's the motor room and generator room on the fourth underground floor! And there's also the computer room on the 4th floor!"

The moment she heard the news, Tokiwa Mio almost fainted.

The 40th floor houses the main computer of the Tokiwa Group, and they barely had time to back it up elsewhere. If it were damaged, all the important data would be lost.

The bad news for the security director continued to come one after another. A fire broke out inside the building on the 40th floor where the explosion occurred.

Gin is a guy who really does things without leaving any room for maneuver.

Lin Jiashu rolled up his sleeves and looked at the time on his watch.

He didn't feel nervous at all.

However, the guests were already in a state of chaos, especially after learning that the elevator was out of power and could not be used.

"There's an observation elevator available!"

"That's right! Because it's a VIP elevator, it uses an independent power supply!"

"You can take the elevator down to the 45th floor, and then take the connecting bridge on the 45th floor to Building B!"

The police immediately began to evacuate the guests.

However, the observation elevator could only accommodate 9 people at a time, but there were hundreds of guests present.

"Everyone's been waiting here for too long. Let the elderly, children, and women take the elevator down, and everyone else take the stairs first!"

No one had any objection to the police's arrangement.

A large group of people present immediately ran towards the stairs, while Hayashi Yoshiki and Megure Jusan stayed behind to wait.

"Brother Lin, you should go down quickly too."

"It's okay. I'll wait until these kids and Xiaolan get on the elevator before I leave." Lin Jiashu said with a gentle smile, "Besides, Officer Megure, aren't you here too?"

"Brother Jiashu..."

Ayumi couldn't help but call him softly.

Lin Jiashu touched her head.

Groups of people took the elevator one after another. Megure Jusan originally wanted to let the old man Ruzuki Minemizu, who had his hands handcuffed, take the elevator down as well, but the other party angrily shouted that he should not be treated as an old man, and stubbornly chose to go down the stairs by himself.

Looking at his back, Lin Jiashu thought for a moment and then walked aside.

He took out the notebook and pen he carried with him and quickly wrote down what he had written.

After a relatively long period of time, Xiaolan and the others finally entered the elevator.

Just before the elevator door closed, Xiaolan and Sonoko couldn't help but look worried: "Brother Jiashu, you must be careful..."

"Yeah, it's okay, don't worry."

Lin Jiashu still didn't feel nervous.

After confirming that the floor was descending, Megure Jusan looked at Lin Jiashu beside him and said, "Brother Lin, let's go quickly too."

"Ok."

Lin Jiashu nodded and joked, "But Officer Megure, can you run like this?"

"Of course! I go running in the park every day."

“…I can’t tell.”

"But I haven't lost any weight at all."

As they talked, they quickly ran towards the stairs.

There are two connecting bridges between the twin skyscrapers, one on the 60th floor and the other on the 45th floor, but the sightseeing elevator cannot stop on the 60th floor.

After Hayashi Yoshiki and Megure Jusan took some time to reach the 60th floor, they quickly crossed the connecting bridge and arrived at Building B.

"I'm going to the 45th floor to see if Xiaolan and the others have arrived here."

"Okay, then Brother Lin, be careful. I have to go downstairs and dispatch the police."

"come on."

"come on!"

The two soon parted ways.

Lin Jiashu walked out when the elevator reached the 45th floor. Standing on the connecting bridge of Building B, he could see that the sightseeing elevator of Building A suddenly stopped at the 47th floor.

He called immediately.

"Brother Jiashu, our elevator suddenly stopped!"

Xiaolan's voice on the other end of the phone was a little breathless and nervous, but before Lin Jiashu could ask her, she shouted, "But we've already opened the elevator and are walking up the stairs to the 45th floor!"

"I'm on the 45th floor now. I'll go over and join you guys now."

He hung up without waiting for a response.

At this time, in the middle corridor of the 46th floor of Building A, Xiaolan shouted a few times but received no response. Only then did she realize that her cell phone was busy.

She suddenly felt nervous.

Brother Jiashu is really something, it's so dangerous here...

"Is he coming over?"

Although she didn't know the content of the call, Haibara Ai intuitively guessed who it was and also guessed that Lin Jiashu was likely to come over.

Xiaolan responded with a "hmm".

Sonoko realized it a little late and couldn't help but yell, "What? Brother Jiashu is coming over now!?"

boom! !

The building suddenly shook again.

Xiaolan and her friends finally reached the 45th floor and almost fell to the ground because of the sudden vibration. By the time they reacted, the fire caused by the explosion on the 40th floor had spread to the back of the corridor due to the chimney effect, and thick smoke and flames appeared.

The connecting bridge is located in the middle of the corridor.

"The fire is coming! Hurry up!!"

Several girls and a group of children screamed and quickened their pace.

Lin Jiashu's figure running towards this side also appeared in their sight.
