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

But looking at the others, no one seemed to find anything unusual.

Even Conan was drinking from a cup - ever since his body became smaller, he had few opportunities to drink coffee.

Katsuhiko Minagawa's younger brother followed suit and picked up the coffee to try it. The bitter taste made him grimace.

"Come and try the cake I made, everyone."

Katsuhiko Minagawa's mother brought the cake and saw her little son holding the coffee cup with his mouth open, so she quickly picked up a piece of cake and fed it to him.

"Come, eat a piece of cake and it won't be bitter."

She fed her youngest son several mouthfuls of cake in a row.

After watching him swallow it, she stood up and smiled: "Everyone, try it."

At her kind invitation, everyone took a few bites and received very high praise.

"Mr. Lin, you should try it too."

"Thank you, but I don't really like sweets. Please leave it there for now... I'll try it later."

"But the cake won't taste good if it's been sitting around for too long. Please at least try it first and tell me what you think."

Although it can be explained by a passionate personality, would the average person really be so obsessed with letting others eat cake?

After looking at the little boy Ajin who was covering his cheek after eating the cake, as if he had a toothache, Lin Jiashu picked up the cake.

"Mmm, it tastes very good, not too sweet."

"that would be great."

The woman picked up the tray, and saw Katsuhiko Minagawa finished his coffee, took out a cigarette, stood up, and walked straight to the yard outside the door.

"Hey, Ke Yan, you should have some cake too."

"Long-winded."

Katsuhiko Minagawa walked straight out.

Seeing this, the woman stopped trying to persuade him. She just quietly cleared the things on the table and went into the kitchen.

"Buzz~~~!"

At this time, a text message came in on the phone. Lin Jiashu took it out and saw that it was a message from Gin.

"Wakamatsu Toshihide, according to the resident records, he's currently renting room 72 on the seventh floor of the Nishizaki Apartment at 203- Beika-cho."

"Except for Wednesday which is a fixed day off, I go to the nearby gym to exercise every night at 20.00: PM."

"..."

"..."

"..."

A fairly detailed document.

Lin Jiashu only paid attention to the top part about the address, and just glanced over the rest of the content.

Living alone...?

Judging from the trajectory of daily activities, it is really easy to do.

Lin Jiashu replied with a "received" response, but received no further reply.

After a while, Xiaolan came closer and whispered:

"Brother Jiashu, shall we go?"

"Well, let's go."

Lin Jiashu put away his phone and stood up.

Xiaolan said goodbye to everyone embarrassedly. After seeing Wakamatsu Toshihide, she hesitated for a moment, but still waved slightly.

Wakamatsu Toshihide ignored it.

However, when he saw Lin Jiashu stand up and say goodbye to the others with a smile, he couldn't help but sneer: "Humph, coward."

As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone else could react, a woman's scream suddenly came from the yard outside the house: "Ah——!!"

----

----

Wakamatsu Toshihide is a character in the TV original plot, but it's quite outrageous. He sat next to Xiaolan and wanted to take the opportunity to hold her hand and then pulled her over to kiss her... But the one he held hands with and kissed was Conan, and he turned around and was angrily pushed aside by Conan.

Chapter 31: I am looking forward to your performance

"Katsuhiko Minagawa breathed his last just now."

"The most likely cause of death was drug poisoning."

"Ms. Watanabe Yoshimi, the deceased must have collapsed shortly after eating your chocolate, right?"

Minagawa Katsuhiko is dead.

The scream from before was made by Watanabe Mimi beside him at the moment he fell down, clutching his throat in fear.

The police arrived very quickly.

After some investigation and evidence collection, and after carrying away Katsuhiko Minagawa's body, Inspector Megure immediately began questioning.

Everyone in the house was gathered in the living room.

"...Yes, I did give Katsuhiko some chocolate."

Watanabe Yomi sat on the sofa and cried heartbrokenly.

When Katsuhiko Minagawa finished his coffee and went to the yard to smoke, she followed him out. When trying to persuade him, she offered him the chocolate she had made herself, but he took it and took a few bites before suddenly...

Inspector Megure pinched his chin and stared at her with suspicion.

Based on the situation at the scene and Watanabe Hoshimi's description, it was hard for Megure not to doubt her...but seeing her crying so heartbrokenly, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

Edogawa Conan stood aside in deep thought.

Although he also suspected Watanabe Haomei, it was not much, and he felt that everyone else was suspicious.

Okay, Lin Jiashu, this time we are on the same starting line——

"Officer, can you check the coffee and cakes here?"

Conan looked at Lin Jiashu, and was preparing for a fight with high morale in his heart, but suddenly he heard Lin Jiashu speak.

Inspector Megure immediately left Watanabe Homi behind.

"Did you find anything, Brother Lin?"

"I don't know if it can be considered a discovery, but I just think the taste of this coffee is subtly strange."

"strangeness?"

“We didn’t feel that way.”

"Tsk, he's just being mysterious to make himself look special."

The other people who also drank coffee looked at each other, and Wakamatsu Toshihide even sneered when he saw this.

Lin Jiashu ignored it.

He shifted his gaze from the notes in his hand, raised his eyes, glanced at Katsuhiko Minagawa's mother who had suddenly become extremely nervous, looked at the little boy Akon who was following her, and smiled:

"Xiao Jin, does your tooth still hurt?"

"……Um."

The little boy covered his right cheek and nodded dejectedly.

Lin Jiashu then looked at the woman beside him: "Madam must be quite strict usually. It seems that she completely forbade the child to eat sweets during the period when he had tooth decay."

"...Yes, otherwise the child's tooth decay problem will become more serious."

"But when I saw Xiao Jin secretly drinking coffee just now, you immediately fed him several bites of cake."

“…” The woman’s expression tightened.

"And just now in the living room, you were particularly concerned about everyone's comments on the cake. Especially when I had already said that I didn't like sweets and might try it later, you still urged me to try it."

"..."

"How should I put it? It's rare for someone to reject me, but your insistence actually makes me concerned."

“Because I put so much effort into making these cakes…”

"Yes, the cake tastes great, and the sweetness is perfectly balanced." Lin Jiashu nodded, then added, "But I wonder if your urging is to ensure that everyone except Mr. Katsuhiko eats the cake."

"..."

Hearing this, the woman was already in a state of confusion. She subconsciously clutched her sleeves, feeling a little at a loss.

Inspector Megure finally came to his senses.

"So, the poison might be related to the coffee, and there might be an antidote in the cake, right?"

"It's just a possibility. Maybe I'm just too dark-minded and think too badly about things."

"What are you talking about? Anyway, if possible, send everything for examination first."

Inspector Megure waved his hand decisively.

The woman had no time to stop them, and didn't know what reason to use to stop them. She could only watch with a pale face as the police collected the things for inspection.

She didn't even have time to use the frame-up method she had planned—

Just one look at her guilty look and Conan immediately realized that the truth was probably what Lin Jiashu said.

but……

What are you doing! ?

Which detective can solve a case like this! ?

How come I don't have any experience solving a case at all! ?

Looking at Lin Jiashu sitting there flipping through his notebook, writing and drawing, without any other movements, it was obvious that he didn't think there would be any other possibilities, and Conan felt inexplicably jealous.

He racked his brain to think if there were any other possibilities.

But in the end, it was not until the police brought the inspection report and told her that the coffee did contain poison that the woman finally could not hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Seeing Inspector Megure approaching with handcuffs, she began to cry and confessed her motive for murder - to seize the inheritance.

In fact, Katsuhiko Minagawa is not her biological child.

Katsuhiko Minagawa's parents passed away in a car accident seven years ago, and the woman who was his aunt adopted him... Until seven years later, because her husband's business failed and was about to go bankrupt, the woman started to think about the inheritance left by Katsuhiko Minagawa's parents.

The subsequent process is completed.

When Xiaolan and Sonoko expressed their desire to leave with mixed feelings, Lin Jiashu smiled and said that he needed to leave to go to the bathroom.

Wakamatsu Toshihide happened to be in the corridor over there.

"I'll take your comments, Mr. Wakamatsu."

"Ok?"

Wakamatsu Toshihide, who was walking in front, turned around and raised his eyebrows when he saw that it was Hayashi Yoshiki, "So what!?"

"Nothing serious. I just thought that since Mr. Wakamatsu could so arrogantly call someone a 'coward,' you must be a very courageous man who would never back down in a desperate situation. I'm very much looking forward to what you will do."

Lin Jiashu looked at him with a smile.

Just that face...

The smile on that unrealistically handsome face seemed like a fake one.

ha?

Hearing his meaningless words, Wakamatsu Toshihide felt bewildered and immediately spat.

Lin Jiashu still watched with a smile on his face.

But there was no emotion in his black eyes. As he turned and left, he took out his cell phone and deleted the text message he had just received.
