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

At this time, the police representative for this operation had already stepped onto the podium. He took the microphone and announced bluntly:

"Everyone, I'm Officer Chaki from the National Police Agency. I think you've all heard of me."

"According to the information we've received, that odious Kaito Kidd seems to have infiltrated our ship. He's known to be a master of disguise. He researches his subjects beforehand, mimicking their appearance, voice, and personality flawlessly."

"So we police suspect he might have already infiltrated the crowd and passed himself off as the real guests."

"Normally, we police officers should conduct thorough inspections of each individual, but in order not to spoil everyone's fun, we'll refrain from doing so."

"But you can all use secret codes. Each of you can form a team with the people around you and decide on a secret code that only the two of you know."

After all, most of those who were able to attend the Suzuki Group's 60th anniversary banquet were prominent figures in society, and at least % of them were political bigwigs or presidents or heirs of various groups.

"That's a good idea. What's a good code? Hmm... I got it." Maori Kogoro thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up. "Hey, Ashu, let's use the code Okino Yoko. My code is 'Okino', and 'Yoko' is yours."

"Okay." Lin Jiashu nodded first, but then added, "But Uncle Maori, if you use this as a code, most people will think of Yoko whenever they mention the word Okino."

"Hmm... That's true. So what should I call it?"

Kogoro Mori fell into deep thought.

Xiaolan and Conan were so upset when they heard this.

"What kind of code do you think would be best, Jiashu?"

"I'll think about that later."

Lin Jiashu smiled.

He handed the champagne glass to Xiaolan, then unbuttoned his suit with both hands and handed it to her in front of her surprised eyes. "Could you please keep it for me for a while?"

“…Ah, okay.”

Xiaolan nodded blankly.

"What are you going to do, Brother Jiashu?"

Conan looked surprised.

Lin Jiashu walked towards the waiter disguised as Kaito Kid, pulling off the neatly tied tie in front of his white shirt as he walked.

(Why are you coming this way?)

Kaito Kidd was still holding a tray in his hand, and as he watched Lin Jiashu approach, he gradually had a bad feeling in his heart.

And at the moment Lin Jiashu pulled off his tie--

"!!"

The rapidly approaching figure made Kaito Kidd's pupils shrink suddenly. The next second, his pupils reflected the moment of a swift whip kick. His body reacted before his brain did. He let go of the tray in his hand and retreated suddenly.

The whip kick that Lin Jiashu kicked out just barely grazed his abdomen. Before the tray full of champagne glasses fell and shattered, Lin Jiashu had stabilized his center of gravity and rushed forward.

His pace was so fast, it was as if he knew in advance that Kaito Kidd would retreat. The straight punch was coming towards his heart, and even Kaito Kidd could only barely raise his hand to block it with his arm and retreat.

"guest--!?"

Facing the waiter's face, Kaito Kidd made a panicked and terrified expression.

The noise here, especially the sound of champagne glasses falling to the ground and breaking, had already attracted everyone's attention. The guests looked at the scene in astonishment.

"Amazing! Your reaction speed is really fast."

Lin Jiashu looked at the other person and smiled, his bright expression as if he had just said a normal greeting.

But Kaito Kidd is still pretending.

"Excuse me, what did I just do? Why did I--"

"Since seven minutes ago, you've observed me a total of 18 times. Although each time you simply looked around the entire field, the pauses on my side were subtly longer..."

Lin Jiashu explained gently, "Also, when you disguised yourself as the waiter, I noticed that he didn't offer champagne to customers when he first came in, but you took the initiative to offer it to me. And throughout your subsequent disguise, you were still carefully imitating him, so was there something added to the glass you gave me?"

"...You actually revealed your flaws over such a trivial matter?"

Kaito Kidd was speechless.

At this point, no matter how much he tried to argue, it was useless. After all, the eyes of everyone around him were full of suspicion.

Kaito Kid simply took off his disguise, and his entire face and clothes changed into the appearance of an elegant thief in white in an instant.

Just as he made his debut and was about to say some polite words to save his face, the dozen or so guests standing around him suddenly took off their coats to reveal their police uniforms, and the person leading them was none other than Ginzo Nakamori!

"Success! Wake up, Kaito Kidd--!!"

"oh!!!!!!!"

More than a dozen policemen rushed towards Kaito Kid without any warning.

"Wow!?"

74

Chapter 74: Oh no, my nose is hot

"Caught!"

"Sir! I've got his foot!"

"I grabbed his shoulder!"

"Hahahaha! Great! You've fallen into our trap, Kaito Kidd!"

Standing next to a group of policemen piled up like a pyramid, Nakamori Ginzo laughed triumphantly.

There was silence.

The bizarre situation and twists at the scene even caught some people off guard. They looked at the excited police officers and only gradually came to their senses after a while.

"This is... did they catch Kaito Kidd?"

"real or fake!?"

"Did you catch it?"

The arrest of an international thief was something the business and political leaders had never witnessed before, and their faces lit up with anticipation.

Xiaolan and the others were also surprised.

"What's going on, Yoshiki-kun?"

"Nothing special. After discovering the traces of Kaito Kidd, I informed Officer Nakamori in advance and asked him to arrange for people to wait at that location."

Lin Jiashu explained.

Xiaolan was amazed by this.

Suzuki Sonoko, who had just finished greeting the guests with her mother, came over. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but show admiration: "You're really worthy of being called Brother Yoshiki. So, Kaito Kid has been defeated by you twice!"

"Perhaps he underestimated the enemy, but Commander Nakamori and the others made quite a big noise just now..."

"Eh?"

As if to prove Lin Jiashu's words, the policemen who excitedly pressed Kaito Kidd at the bottom stood up one by one, but the situation at the scene made them dumbfounded.

There was only Kaito Kidd's suit and cape on the ground!

"what happened?"

"Where are the people!?"

"asshole!"

His hopes dashed, Nakamori Ginzo was furious. He looked at the clothes left at the scene, and his past experience made his mind race: "No, there's no way Kaito Kid could have escaped in that situation! He must have disguised himself as someone and infiltrated you!"

A dozen policemen looked at each other in confusion.

Just when they were doubting themselves, Kaito Kid, who was disguised as a young policeman, suddenly grinned and said, "Bing Go!"

With just this little delay, he has seized the opportunity to escape!

Kaito Kidd quickly threw a smoke bomb, and the moment the rising smoke blocked everyone's vision, he disappeared without a trace, and the police who were trying to catch him were also disappointed.

When the smoke cleared, there was no trace of Kaito Kidd at the scene.

"Damn it! Kaito Kidd!!!"

“He escaped…”

Lin Jiashu was not surprised by this scene.

In fact, if the police had not lifted up the clothes before rushing over, they might have been able to catch the other person, but it only took that split second for Kaito Kid to react and complete his disguise.

"What a shame, Yoshiki-nii."

Sonoko looked regretful, disappointed that the opportunity opened by Lin Jiashu was missed, "It was just a little bit away..."

"Yeah, but Kaito Kid's reaction is really fast."

Xiaolan also nodded.

The police officers from Investigation Section 2 were frustrated over there.

The commotion at the scene only lasted for a while. After it calmed down a little and the waiter came out to clean up the mess on the floor, Suzuki Tomoko appeared in front of them again.

"You're truly impressive! You're truly worthy of being the knight most trusted to protect our Suzuki family heirloom... Mr. Lin, I was so nervous just now."

Suzuki Tomoko said this with some exaggeration, while looking at the shirt on Hayashi Yoshiki with a smile.

--When he was chasing Kaito Kidd just now, some of the champagne splashed onto his shirt, and the wet spot was very conspicuous against the white shirt.

"If you don't mind, please change your shirt first."

As she spoke, the butler beside her presented her with a new white shirt and towel, and Lin Jiashu naturally accepted the offer.

He didn't shy away from it and simply unbuttoned his wet shirt.

That is, at the moment when Hayashi Yoshiki showed his rising face, Sonoko and Xiaolan blushed instantly, and even Suzuki Tomoko couldn't help but open her mouth slightly in surprise...

In proportion to his incredibly handsome face, Lin Jiashu also has a great figure.

That was the unexpectedly muscular figure hidden under his clothes, with sharp muscle lines like a knife, and beautiful white skin. From the collarbone to the chest to the abdominal muscles... There was obviously no unnecessary movement, but for the girls at the scene, it always felt particularly sensational when they looked directly at it...

Especially when this scene is combined with Lin Jiashu's delicate and intellectual face--(It's totally a foul!)

Yuanzi screamed in her heart.

Oh no, my nose feels hot and a little itchy...

She hurriedly covered her nose, and then she heard a voice from a little distance saying something like "you're bleeding from the nose". After Lin Jiashu changed his shirt and put on his suit, she realized that the one who was bleeding from the nose was the socialite guest next to her.

"...Are you really not considering marrying into the family, Mr. Lin?"

Faced with Suzuki Tomoko's repeated invitation, Hayashi Yoshiki still declined.

The other party sighed regretfully.

Looking at her silly daughter who was still obsessed with men, Suzuki Tomoko really didn't know what to say to her.

But soon her face turned serious and she brought up the business:

"Mr. Lin, the thief is hiding again, but I don't think he'll stop until the ship reaches Tokyo Harbor. And after being exposed this time, he'll definitely become more cautious."

"Yes?"

"So I would like to truly entrust this dark night star to your protection."

She took off the real dark night star she was wearing and spoke solemnly to Lin Jiashu.

Such a choice is really surprising.

Lin Jiashu paused for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Madam, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to protect you well?"

"I believe in Mr. Lin's ability. Besides you, I don't think anyone else on the scene can truly protect it."

Suzuki Tomoko spoke at this point, as if to dispel Lin Jiashu's concerns, and spoke confidently: "Of course, even if the Dark Night Star is unfortunately taken away, it won't matter. Our Suzuki Group has been able to reach this position in the past 60 years, not just relying on the luck it brought us."

"I understand."

Lin Jiashu finally chose to take off the fake one on his chest and wear the real one he received from Suzuki Tomoko.

Suzuki Tomoko smiled when she saw this.

"Well, ma'am, please rest assured and leave it to me. I, Mouri Kogoro, will protect it even at the risk of my life!" Mouri Kogoro swore solemnly.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Maori."
