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

"..."

"When Yoshiki-kun mentioned an office, did he mean the detective agency?"

"Well, I asked someone to make the sign and light box this afternoon. If we hurry, they should be up by tomorrow."

"I see. But speaking of which..."

"Ok?"

"I'm planning to take on another TV series, and I heard from the director that they're planning to hire a professional detective as a plot and scene consultant."

"is it?"

Yoko Okino talked a little about the TV series.

It's that kind of mystery-related drama - in this world, detective-related things are indeed quite attractive to the general public.

Lin Jiashu thought it was worth considering.

He currently needs higher fame and social status, otherwise the text messages that Gin has been sending him these days are all asking him to take action to get rid of some people.

He even helped to set up an office for this purpose - to allow Lin Jiashu to free up time to do things.

Tsk, model workers also want others to become model workers.

"Ji Shu-kun, do you like cats?"

When passing by a cat cafe, Yoko Okino suddenly asked.

"As for cats, well, I guess I like them."

Lin Jiashu first answered her question, then saw that Okino Yoko was looking through the transparent window of the street cat cafe, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to go in?"

"……do not know."

"Ok?"

"I think cats are cute, but I've never had any contact with one..."

Yoko Okino answered a little hesitantly.

Especially after she started her activities as a well-known idol, her company and agent were worried that she might be accidentally hurt by such animals, so they seemed to be reluctant to let her have any contact with them.

"Then let's go in and have a look."

Lin Jiashu said with a smile.

"Eh……?"

"It's okay, I'm here."

Lin Jiashu tentatively took her hand and walked into the cat cafe. He hesitated for a moment before taking a step forward towards Yoko Okino.

“Actually, my family had a cat when I was a child…”

"But it's very fierce, and sometimes I get hurt when I try to touch it."

Yoko Okino spoke of these things hesitantly.

Although it didn't leave a psychological trauma, I haven't tried to get in touch with it since then.

Lin Jiashu listened to it.

Although he listened, he had no way to respond at this moment - because at this moment, he was covered with all kinds of cats.

Ragdoll, British Shorthair, Russian Blue, Chinchilla...

All kinds of cats surrounded him. Even though their nails were carefully trimmed, they still stubbornly clung to him and tried to climb on top of him.

There are even some smarter cats that first climb to a high place like a cabinet, estimate the distance, and then suddenly jump, landing nimbly on his shoulders, and then making a happy "meow~" sound.

Not to mention the customers in the cat cafe, even the waiters and the boss had never seen such a scene.

"Is it a perfume made from catnip?" A waiter made a reasonable guess.

"...But, I remember that Yu-chan wasn't interested in catnip at all."

Ayu is a very fat cat with broad shoulders and a big waist. Because she doesn't have the physical strength to climb the shelf, she is now pulling at Lin Jiashu's trouser legs.

About one-third of the cats have no interest in catnip, but now almost all the cats in the store came over.

Yoko Okino was shocked by what she saw.

There was a hint of envy in her eyes, but she couldn't tell whether she was envious of the cat or Lin Jiashu.

"Wait a minute, if you all climb up here, it's going to be really heavy, okay?"

"Would you please go down first?"

Lin Jiashu drove away the cats.

To be honest, he had not expected such a scene. Although he was indeed welcomed by the cat that Eri Kisaki raised when he went to her law firm before, he thought it was just an isolated case at that time.

After spending some time getting rid of the group of cats, Lin Jiashu picked out a Chinchilla kitten that he liked and took it with him. He sat down at his seat with the waiter's admiring eyes.

The two sat opposite each other.

Lin Jiashu looked at the menu and finally ordered only two drinks.

"Is this enough?"

"Well, because I'm quite full just now, ah, kitten... meow, meow~"

Yoko Okino was halfway through her words when the little golden tabby cat next to Lin Jiashu stood up and looked curiously at the table. She immediately tentatively imitated a cat's meow and greeted it.

But the little Chinchilla seemed frightened.

It retracted its head and hid under the table.

Yoko Okino suddenly felt a little discouraged.

She really wanted to try to touch the kitten, but she didn't seem to be welcome.

Although customers who come to the cat cafe can take the initiative to play with the cats or simply pull them to a seat to pet them, she is a little lacking in courage due to her childhood experience.

Seeing this, Lin Jiashu stood up from his seat, holding the cat, and sat down with Yoko Okino under her surprised gaze.

"...Yasuki-kun?"

"Wouldn't it be unfair if I were the only one covered in cat hair?"

"Cat hair?"

Lin Jiashu was wearing black clothes today, so the large area of ​​cat hair on his clothes was particularly conspicuous. After noticing this, Okino Yoko couldn't help but smile.

In the corner, she had taken off her mask and sunglasses and was smiling with her lips pursed, looking very ladylike. Without much hesitation, she naturally reached out to help Lin Jiashu remove the cat hair on his clothes bit by bit.

"..."

It was obviously a simple action, but Lin Jiashu couldn't help but feel concerned.

I don’t know if Yoko Okino noticed that he was looking at her, but she kept her head down and tried to reach out and touch the Chinchilla kitten.

The furry and warm touch is amazing.

This surprised Yoko Okino.

She began to try to imitate Lin Jiashu's previous action and scratch the kitten's chin. As she listened to its comfortable purring, her eyes became brighter.

"How is it? It's an interesting experience, right?"

A gentle voice came into her ears from nearby, making Yoko Okino nod subconsciously. Only then did she realize how close the two of them were.

She was a little shy because of how close he was.

"Hmm... very interesting. But Yoshiki-kun was really amazing just now. This is the first time I've seen someone so popular with cats."

“In fact, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a situation.”

Lin Jiashu replied.

Could this be related to the aura of death that Koizumi Hongzi mentioned that was entwined around her?

After all, there is a saying that cats are associated with death.

No, this idea is too ridiculous... Lin Jiashu couldn't help laughing when he thought about it.

The drinks in cat cafes are actually not very tasty.

The two of them just took a few quick sips and spent most of their time chatting and petting the cat. When they noticed that it was almost time, Yoko Okino put on her sunglasses and masks again, and the two left together.

It's almost nine o'clock now.

"Is there a certain time Yoko needs to go back?"

"Hmm... probably around ten or twelve."

Yoko Okino originally wanted to say eleven o'clock, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she couldn't help but postpone them.

"Twelve o'clock..."

Lin Jiashu noticed her sudden change of words, but pretended not to know.

With a smile on his handsome face, he asked, "Would you like to have a drink?"

"...Wine?"

"Right."

"...If you only drink a little, it should be okay."

Yoko Okino's pause was more likely a sign of reserve than hesitation.

Lin Jiashu decided to take her to a bar with a quieter and better atmosphere.

However, if he was discovered in such a place, the impact would be quite bad, so Lin Jiashu was very careful throughout the whole process.

Chapter 61: Jundu failed?

Lin Jiashu took Okino Yoko to a bar.

Because it was quite early before nine o'clock, there were not many people in the bar.

The lighting in the store is dim.

The dim light only dimly illuminated the tables and chairs in the store, and the bartender behind the bar was a young woman. When she saw the customers coming, she just nodded slightly to greet them. Overall, the atmosphere of the place was quiet.

"Let's just sit here."

"……OK."

Sitting at the bar would be a bit conspicuous, so Hayashi Yoshiki and Okino Yoko sat in a corner.

She was a little reserved.

However, he seemed a little surprised: "This is my first time in a place like this..."

"Did you think it would be a noisy place?"

"Well, actually, I was really nervous just now. I thought we'd be going to a place that was super crowded and noisy..."

Although I was worried, I didn't even mention it just now.

Lin Jiashu just smiled.

He took a drink menu, glanced at it, and handed it to Yoko Okino.

The latter might be quite interested in wine.

Because of her usual image, she rarely has the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of thing, so she showed some curiosity.

"Jiashu-kun, what kind of wine is Cointreau?"

“Cointreau…?”

Lin Jiashu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's an orange-flavored liqueur. It's noticeably sweet, but it's essentially a distilled spirit with an alcohol content of around 40 percent."

"That's it."

Yoko Okino looked again.
