It's just a trick, a bluff—

Ed Mike naturally felt so.

Having said that, he still felt a little uneasy and had an inexplicable sense of unease.

After all, is this how a normal person would react after being provoked like that?

That fake smile, like a mask stuck on his face, made Ed Michael feel horrified when he recalled it.

He opened his laptop and searched for information about Lin Jiashu.

The savior of the police force, the star of mystery literature, the detective prince...

The related reports on the Internet were full of praise for him, and his fans also used all kinds of corny epithets to praise him.

However, when thinking back to that smiling face, Ed Michael felt a sense of disconnection.

As a professional gossip reporter, he had no interest in these reports, so he added a few more keywords to the search engine, trying to find negative information about the other party.

Before long, Ed Michael actually found something.

——The negative articles written by Sufang Hongzi's Hongyan Entertainment Company a few months ago are still recorded on the Internet, but for a professional like Ed Mike, he only read a few of them and realized that these negative articles are now worthless.

But, what about Sufang Hongzi?

Ed Michael searched curiously.

As a result, the results he saw from the search engine left him stunned.

[Suspect of hit-and-run and murder—Sufang Hongzi—was killed!]

[The former philanthropist died tragically at home! ]

The mystery of Sufang Hongzi's death

【…】

【…】

died?

Ed Michael subconsciously paid attention to this matter.

The scandal-ridden death of Soyoko Akako at home shortly after her release on parole did cause a huge uproar, especially after the police confirmed that it was her secretary Inaba Kazuyo who killed her and then immediately committed suicide in a brutal manner. The Internet was full of conspiracy theories and malicious speculation.

What Ed Michael thought of was Lin Jiashu's strange reaction.

He calculated based on the release time of the reports that slandered Lin Jiashu and the date of Su Fang Hongzi's death, and found that there was only a gap of ten days between them...and after Su Fang Hongzi's death, no one on the Internet mentioned any negative information related to Lin Jiashu.

Coincidence?

Feeling inexplicably frightened, Ed Michael turned off the computer.

Forget it, I'd better keep my eyes on Ray Curtis...

Ed Michael is a man with no taboos. He makes a living by spreading rumors and slandering others and is never afraid of retribution, but Lin Jiashu gives him a very strange feeling.

This time, he had also set his sights on Ray Katis.

He spread rumors that the goalkeeper was taking drugs, which ruined his career and killed his wife, but he later proved his innocence through a lawsuit... However, Ed Michael received reliable information that Ray Curtis seemed to have really started taking drugs after this blow.

If this matter is really investigated, hehe...

Ed Michael took his car keys and prepared to go out for a walk.

----

The reception ended before ten o'clock.

The guests left one after another

Lin Jiashu followed Maori Kogoro and his group, looked at Conan with a smile on his face and said, "I am very happy today, Conan."

"Yes! Because I saw Ray Curtis with my own eyes and talked to him!"

"They are just children after all."

Xiaolan said with a smile, then looked at Lin Jiashu and said, "But if you say that, Dad is also very happy."

"……yes."

Lin Jiashu smiled silently.

Following his and Xiaolan's gaze, I could see Kogoro Mouri excitedly squeezing out of the circle of Okino Yoko's fans and running over with her autograph.

Middle-aged men who chase stars are more proactive than you think.

After Maori Kogoro came back, Xiaolan asked in confusion: "Dad, doesn't he already have a lot of Miss Yoko's autographs?"

"Yes, uncle, if you want Yoko's autograph, I can help you."

"That's different. The signature before and the signature now are not the same thing - Miss Yoko signed a different name with a different feeling!"

Maori Kogoro carefully put the signature into his arms, and at the same time looked at Lin Jiashu with an unspeakable expression: "Also, Ah Shu, what you said is really a bit hateful!"

"..."

Lin Jiashu smiled silently.

He looked back at Yoko Okino who was working, and had no intention of waiting for her - Yoko's visit this time was actually considered "business", and she had an agent following her, so she couldn't move around freely.

But that’s fine too.

Because he has other plans later.

Thinking about this, Lin Jiashu looked at them and said, "Uncle, Xiaolan, have you booked a hotel?"

"Well, we already booked a hotel when we came here today. It's in the east district of Cheng. Where's Jiashu?"

"I've also booked it, but it's in Umeda."

"so……"

"It's a pity it's not on the way."

Lin Jiashu said this with some regret, then smiled and said: "Then we will part ways first. When you return to Mihua, let me know. Then I will book tickets to join you."

"Okay, Brother Jiashu." Xiaolan smiled brightly, "Good night then."

"Good night."

Lin Jiashu said goodbye to them with a smile.

After they separated, he stood on the roadside, hailed a taxi, and told the driver the address.

As the taxi started to move slowly, he rolled up his sleeves and looked at the watch on his left wrist.

21:48…

It's almost time.

Lin Jiashu sat quite quietly in the car. He took out a thin book from his arms and began to read calmly in the light from outside the car.

The Umeda district we are going to is considered the heart of Osaka and is a very prosperous place.

The traffic flow is heavy but orderly.

Lin Jiashu occasionally looked at his watch to confirm the time. When the taxi finally stopped not far from a luxury hotel, the time was not far from his estimate.

"Wait a minute, let me get my wallet."

Lin Jiashu took a little time to pay the bill.

After handing a few banknotes to the friendly driver and indicating that he didn't need the change, Lin Jiashu got out of the car, closed the door and waved gently to the driver.

The taxi left quickly.

Lin Jiashu, with a smile on his face, was also about to leave, but at this moment, a car on the street not far away suddenly turned on its high beams, honked its horn briefly, and drove towards this side quickly.

The bright high beams all shone on Lin Jiashu.

And the car was approaching rapidly.

Chapter 237: Goodbye, Mr. Mike

Ed Michael drove smoothly.

Strange cities are very fresh to him, and driving in unknown places gives people a sense of exploration.

He planned to go to the 3K restaurant opened by Ray Curtis right now and secretly follow him to see if he could take any interesting photos.

However, when the car was halfway through the drive, it passed a pothole and the car shook violently. The strong vibration knocked the can of Coke placed on the armrest box down.

Ed Mike noticed this, but he couldn't just bend down to pick it up while driving. After all, there were vehicles on both sides of him and an intersection in front of him.

He stepped on the accelerator and quickly passed the intersection.

But when Ed Michael wanted to change lanes and park on the side, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

The steering wheel seems to have become a little lighter?

Surprised, he subconsciously turned the steering wheel, and the wheel turned half a circle effortlessly as if it had no weight, but the direction of the car did not change at all.

Ed Michael was startled and hurriedly took his foot off the accelerator and tried to step on the brake.

As a result, the big feet in leather shoes accidentally brought the can of Coke that rolled to the feet in a panic. The can of drink was stuck under the brake pedal without Ed Michael's knowledge - the man stepped on the foot brake hard, but the brake pedal felt so hard that he couldn't step on it at all.

what happened! ?

The vehicle was moving very fast, but the lane ahead was not a straight line but curved. Seeing that his car was about to break out at a rapid speed, Ed Michael panicked and subconsciously turned the steering wheel while looking down at the brake pedal.

"Shit!"

The moment Ed Michael saw that it was the can of Coke that was stuck under the pedal, making it impossible to move it, he cursed out loud.

Beep!

Beep! Beep!! Beep!!

Violent horn sounds rang out from all around.

Ed Michael saw the car on his left swerve to avoid him because he had strayed from the lane and inexplicably got too close. But as he swerved the steering wheel in vain and frantically tried to kick the can of Coke away—

boom! ! !

The sudden collision on the right side of the car caused him to see stars as he sat in the right driver's seat.

Ed Michael's car, which was driving at high speed, was suddenly knocked off course. He stepped on the accelerator uncontrollably, causing the vehicle, which was already driving at high speed, to rush straight into the opposite lane from the intersection. This desperate move caused the drivers driving normally in the opposite direction to honk their horns, and for a while, various sharp brake sounds were heard one after another.

Lin Jiashu, who was standing on the curb of the opposite lane, was attracted by the noise and turned his head. The next second, he saw a car with high beams on rushing towards him at a terrifying speed.

Twenty meters...fifteen meters!

The glaring high beams became dimmer and dimmer, and the speeding vehicle became larger and larger in the field of vision. When the car shortened the distance to less than ten meters in the blink of an eye, Lin Jiashu could even see Ed Michael in the driver's seat, turning the steering wheel in panic.

boom!

There was another bang.

The right front tire of the car that was rushing towards Lin Jiashu suddenly deflated, and the front of the car lowered. When the tire tilted slightly to the right, the momentum of the car that was rushing straight forward was also deflected.

Lin Jiashu, who responded immediately and retreated, was only slightly brushed by the rear end of the car, but even so, he only felt a huge force that swept him aside.

boom! ! ! !

The out-of-control car crashed straight into the building. The ferocious movement was deafening, and the windshield turned into countless pieces and fell off in an instant.

Lin Jiashu, who was affected, felt a stuffy feeling in his chest, and then his hands began to feel sore and swollen, and the pain became stronger and stronger... It took him several seconds to stand up awkwardly, and through the broken car window he saw Ed Michael sitting in the driver's seat, bleeding. The other party did not suffer any obvious external injuries, but the bad thing was that at the moment of the collision, his seat belt suddenly broke, causing his cervical vertebrae to be damaged under the impact.

(Goodbye, Mr. Mike...)

Despite feeling the intense pain in his body, Lin Jiashu smiled.

With his back to the camera on the street, Lin Jiashu slowly approached the car and silently moved his lips towards Ed Michael.

The entertainment reporter, who was forced to tilt his head due to a cervical injury and could see his mouth shape clearly, had dilated pupils.

He looked at Lin Jiashu in horror, opened his mouth and screamed "ah ah" as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly flames came out of his vehicle.

From a surveillance perspective

When the car suddenly started to catch fire, Lin Jiashu, with his hands hanging down and staggering, walked forward more anxiously. He endured the severe pain and raised his hand weakly to help the driver trapped inside open the door, but the locked door did not move at all.

The fire suddenly grew bigger.
