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

"I don't want to go through so much trouble. I might have to go to Nishitama City later, which is quite time-consuming."

"You can't say that. After all, Brother Jiashu saved me, so he saved me." Xiaolan said this with a very serious expression on her face: "Brother Jiashu also saved me. I will never forget this... But speaking of this, I still don't know how to repay Brother Jiashu in this way."

As she spoke further, she looked distressed.

"So you want to buy me some cake?"

"what……"

Looking at his gentle smile, Xiaolan knew that he was talking about the cake that was now served.

"This was prepared by my mother and delivered specially by you, Jiashu. It's really unreasonable to treat you with this."

Xiaolan moved the cake in front of Lin Jiashu, and a smile appeared on her cute face when she said this: "How about I treat Brother Jiashu to cake next time?"

"Sure."

Lin Jiashu smiled.

Kogoro Mouri was smoking a cigarette over there. He glanced at the two of them and then went back to reading his magazine comfortably.

Lin Jiashu only stayed for a while, and got up and left after about half an hour.

Xiaolan cleaned up his teacup and the leftover cake. When she saw that only one-third of the cake was eaten, she was suddenly stunned - Brother Jiashu, it seems that he doesn't like sweets.

She remembered that time when he and his mother met her at the cake shop, he didn't order a cake. And when he helped her attend the party on Valentine's Day, he also had no interest in cake...

"So you want to buy me some cake?"

Thinking of what he said to her not long ago, Xiaolan always felt concerned.

Brother Jiashu, why do you always have to accommodate me?

Chapter 232: IT Company Sindora

Ding

Two bubbling champagne glasses clinked gently together.

"Cheers."×2

Hayashi Yoshiki and Tokiwa Mio sat facing each other.

The food placed between them was so abundant that after Lin Jiashu put down his cup, he couldn't help but smile and sigh, "Thank you for finding such a great restaurant, Ms. Tokiwa."

"Mr. Lin, what are you talking about?"

Tokiwa Mio smiled faintly and said, "If it weren't for Mr. Lin, I might not be able to sit here now."

"...Ms. Tokiwa is surprisingly calm."

"Yes."

Tokiwa Mio sighed softly.

The fact that Rusuki Minemizu had murderous intentions towards her did indeed make her feel mixed emotions, and even until now she still found it hard to believe it - Tokiwa Mio had always respected that stubborn old man, and even the deaths of Councillor Ooki Iwamatsu and Hara Yoshiaki did not make her associate him with him.

Lin Jiashu asked her gently, "I heard from the police that they found Mr. Ruyue's remains, right?"

"Yes, after the fire on the 45th floor was put out, one of the bodies was Mr. Kisaragi's."

"...When we were waiting for the elevator, he stubbornly told the police that he didn't want to take the elevator and didn't want anyone to help him down the stairs. So, I think he had been planning to stay in the fire from the beginning."

"Well, the teacher is a very pure person—purer than I thought."

Tokiwa Mio sighed.

She really didn't know that the construction of the twin-tower skyscrapers would bring such great damage to the Ruyue Peak Water - but even if she had known earlier, she would still choose to start this project.

The Tokiwa Group originally wanted to make this project its business card, but unfortunately it was completely destroyed by an explosion.

As the person in charge, Tokiwa Mio has to bear most of the responsibility. In this regard, she may not be able to become the heir of the Tokiwa family in the future.

Lin Jiashu observed her with a smile.

Judging from the fact that Tokiwa Mio resold the paintings of Rugetsu Minemizu to make friends with the powerful and even resorted to bribery to build the twin towers, she is indeed a woman with a lot of ideas.

If it weren't for various accidents and the actions of Gin and the others, she would undoubtedly be qualified to be the heir to the Tokiwa Group.

But given her current predicament, unless most of the other heirs of the Tokiwa family died, she would probably have no chance to show up.

"..."

Of course, Lin Jiashu never thought about helping her.

Being the president of a legitimate company wouldn't bring him much benefit, and using the Death Note to make a big move would only increase the risk of being exposed.

"Mr. Lin asked me to meet him. What can I do for you?"

"Is such that……"

Seeing her bring it up, Lin Jiashu immediately organized his words and asked with a smile, "Ms. Tokiwa, you should be familiar with the concept of artificial intelligence, right? Is there any relevant information in the computer industry?"

"artificial intelligence?"

Tokiwa Mio was stunned. "This concept was introduced in 1956. There are many companies in the IT industry that want to implement this concept, but as far as I know, the vast majority of IT companies only use it as a gimmick to attract investment. Why would Mr. Lin be interested in this?"

"Well, a friend of mine asked me to ask for some information on this matter, so he asked me to ask Ms. Tokiwa."

When Lin Jiashu said this, a troubled look appeared on his handsome face. He smiled bitterly and said, "I said that what he is concerned about is not very reliable."

"I see."

Tokiwa Mio smiled.

After all, Lin Jiashu's identity is a detective and mystery novelist, which has nothing to do with the computer industry, so there is nothing for her to believe or not.

Without waiting for Lin Jiashu to start a new conversation, she spoke up, "If I must say, there's indeed a company called Sindora in the US, a well-deserved leader in the IT industry... Over a year ago, they hired a large number of programmers at high salaries, apparently planning to enter the field of artificial intelligence."

"Sindora...?"

"Well, that company has some orders with our Tokiwa Group. And it's not just Tokiwa Group. This company has been purchasing large numbers of server clusters from computer companies around the world since a year ago."

"I see."

...a year ago?

Lin Jiashu, who was a little sensitive to this time, couldn't help but smile after hearing it.

After knowing that Xindora Company might be the "apple" he was looking for, Lin Jiashu didn't ask any more questions.

He calmly finished the meal with Tokiwa Mio.

"Is Mr. Lin planning to go back?"

Before leaving, Tokiwa Mio asked him meaningfully.

The latter smiled very peacefully.

"Yes, because I have to go out with some friends later, so I have to go back to Mihua first."

"Well, be careful on the road."

Hearing that Hayashi Yoshiki had no intention of staying, Tokiwa Mio felt a little regretful.

After saying goodbye politely, Lin Jiashu left.

He could sense something else in Tokiwa Mio's eyes and tone, but he wasn't interested. A simple, one-night stand, like a stamp-collecting affair, was unnecessary, and there was even the risk of getting stalked...

the other side

After finishing a day's work and returning home, Hibiki Eri was sitting comfortably on the sofa enjoying the movie, but soon she noticed the movement on her mobile phone.

Xiaolan: "Mom, do you know what Jiashu likes to eat?"

Kisaki Eri raised her eyebrows.

As if she suddenly became interested, she immediately typed a reply.

Kisaki Eri: "Why are you asking this so suddenly?"

Xiaolan: "Because I found that Brother Jiashu always seems to be accommodating others."

Xiaolan: “…”

Xiaolan: “…”

The girl told what happened this afternoon.

Kisaki Eri understood.

Xiaoshu is often like this...

He always downplayed his efforts so that people wouldn't take them seriously. Even when Xiaolan really wanted to thank him, he just wanted to lightly brush it off by treating her to cake... even though he himself didn't like cake at all.

It's so gentle that it makes people feel sad.

Like the previous incident with the twin towers, when Eri Kisaki found out about it, she was really sweating. Even after Xiaolan and Hayashi Yoshiki came back, she still couldn't stop feeling scared.

However, after he came back, he never mentioned such a dangerous thing and did not take any credit for it.

Hibiki Eri sighed in her heart, but when she saw that Xiaolan had noticed this, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

Kisaki Eri: "His favorite thing to eat is McDonald's nutritious breakfast."

Xiaolan: "Huh?"

Kisaki Eri: "I can't help it, this is what he likes to eat."

Ran: "But Yoshiki-san did save me, but if it's just McDonald's..."

Kisaki Eri: "So what's more important than treating someone is the thought behind it. As long as the thought is conveyed, it doesn't matter what kind of treat or gift you give."

Kisaki Eri: "Do you need me to give you some advice?"

Chapter 233: Terrified Vodka

Jingle bell~

The door of the tavern was pushed open, and the bell hanging behind the door rang, and the bartender's voice rang out immediately:

"welcome."

Lin Jiashu walked into the pub.

Before he walked to the bar to greet everyone, Vodka, who was sitting there, became tense and didn't dare to look up.

"Yo! Cointreau."

Chianti was always the first to speak.

"Long time no see." Cohen also turned his head.

"It seems like it's been a while."

Lin Jiashu's voice was gentle.

He walked to the bar and saw Gin taking the last puff of his cigarette and putting the butt into the ashtray. He nodded slightly at Lin Jiashu's arrival.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm in a good mood and thought I'd come over for a drink."

After Lin Jiashu sat down, he did not look at the wine cabinet behind the bartender, but smiled and looked at Vodka who was silent.

Vodka almost held his breath when he felt his gaze.

"So, Mr. Vodka, are you in a bad mood today?"

"No, I'm in a good mood—"

He seemed to be pinching Lin Jiashu's lips and answered immediately the moment he finished speaking, and his voice was even a little distorted due to nervousness.

Lin Jiashu was a little confused.

Chianti seemed to find Vodka's reaction very interesting. He came down from his seat and patted the man on the shoulder.

The vodka had no effect.

She immediately watched the fun and said jokingly, "Vodka, he's afraid of your revenge and doesn't even dare to talk to you."
