Beika Second Apartment
This is a high-end single-family apartment located close to the center of Beika City.
After entering the house and changing into indoor slippers, Hayashi poured a glass of water and went to the computer desk in the bedroom.
On the desk is a bulky, old-fashioned computer monitor.
The product iteration in Detective Conan is very interesting - although there is no specific era setting in the plot, the time is basically synchronized with the real world. Therefore, since the initial serialization in 1994, even if the plot time has only passed for a few months, the architectural style and electronic products in the original work have been changing.
I guess this old computer can be replaced after some time.
But the focus at the moment is not on this computer.
Hayashi opened the drawer of the computer desk, uncovered the wooden board underneath that served as a camouflage, and took out the black notebook hidden inside.
"DEATH NOTE"
This string of English was written in slightly crooked pale font on the dark and deep cover.
That is the handwriting of Death.
The literal translation is Death Note - anyone whose name is written in the notebook will die.
This is a prop from another high-IQ detective mystery comic.
Hayashi didn't know where this came from.
But when he suddenly traveled to this world, the Death Note was already in his hands.
And a series of tests also confirmed to him that this was the genuine article.
——As long as the user thinks of the target person's appearance in his mind and writes his real name accurately in the notebook, the target will die of a heart attack after forty seconds.
Once the target's name is written, it will be useless even if it is erased or altered within forty seconds - the person whose name is written in the note will definitely die.
However, in addition to heart failure, the user can also add the target's cause of death and detailed time of death in the Death Note: whether it is death from illness, car accident or shooting, as long as the cause of death is consistent with physics, but the time of death must be within 23 days after the target's name is written.
"As long as it is physically possible, the Death Note can control any action of the target before death."
"In other words, if the target is set to die of a heart attack in one hour, then within this hour, the Death Note can be used to control any of his actions."
As for whether it is physically feasible, for example, it is impossible to make a target who is currently in Tokyo, Japan die in New York, USA in 60 minutes - this is something that is currently impossible in physics.
Therefore, even if it is written in the Death Note, the target will simply die of a heart attack on the spot after 60 minutes because he cannot do it.
"As I wrote, the death notice of Nishikawa Shigehiko was broadcast on the news station this afternoon... If we can do this, it will be much more convenient in the future."
Hayashi slowly opened the Death Note.
The pages of the Death Note will never be used up, but from the appearance and feel of this notebook, it is a very thin notebook. When I turned to the page with the latest record, the content on it was:
"Shigehiko Nishikawa"
"At 20:23:47 on the evening of March 16, he was arrested by the police and died of a heart attack while escaping."
"Ito Izumi"
"At 16:48 on April Fool's Day, he was shot dead by the police while committing a routine crime."
"On March 17, before his death, I listened to the news of Shigehiko Nishikawa's death at a press conference held by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department on TV. Then, at 14:21:30 on the next day, on March 18, I listened to the news of Shigehiko Nishikawa's death on the Tokyo Midday News Radio."
————
This is what I wrote the night before last.
Hayashi had no doubts about the effectiveness of using the Death Note to kill people. What he really wanted to test were the two supplements written after Ito Izumi's cause of death.
The Death Note can manipulate the target's actions during their lifetime.
If this rule is used reasonably, what kind of social information the deceased heard before death will also be classified as "actions before death".
This is not something that is physically impossible.
And the result was exactly as Hayashi Yoshiki had expected: after Nishikawa Shigehiko's death, the time of the news broadcast was exactly the same as the record he wrote to Ito Izumi.
Hayashi Yoshiki didn't know at what time the news of Shigehiko Nishikawa's death would appear in the newspaper if the original procedure had been followed, but because he wrote that Izumi Ito would hear the news on the midday news radio at 14:21 this afternoon, he heard the news radio broadcasting the news of Shigehiko Nishikawa's death at this time when he just got in the taxi.
It's just like a script...
This also means that if this point is used flexibly, Hayashi can even use the Death Note to freely "control" the world to a certain extent.
But this "control" is actually limited.
First of all, the necessary condition is that the news of Shigehiko Nishikawa's death must be broadcast through the news, but the original time may be earlier or later, and now it is simply controlled by the Death Note to the time point set by Hayashi Yoshiki.
If this news report had not appeared, then everything that Hayashi wrote in the Death Note would have been invalid.
More testing is needed.
"…"
Thinking of this, Hayashi turned on the computer.
In the year that he has been holding the Death Note, unless it is necessary, Hayashi mostly chooses criminals to kill, and he happens to have channels to collect information on these criminals.
After turning on the slow-responding computer and dialing up to the Internet, Hayashi clicked on a website.
Enter your account and password.
Adjust the external camera.
The next second after the successful login was displayed, a large amount of information unfolded on the screen like a waterfall. In addition to the general information, there were also several sections.
The most noteworthy of these is the shopping section.
Intelligence, drugs, guns, false documents...
Ignoring the price difference, buying all of the above items on this website is as easy as buying chewing gum online.
In addition, there is a large amount of illegal content on this website, but with Hayashi's account permissions, he can only read the more superficial part of the website.
Moreover, during the reading process, the computer's external camera must be aimed at Hayashi's upper body the entire time. I'm afraid that at the other end of the webpage, there is someone staring closely at him to see if he makes any movements other than operating the mouse.
Hayashi knew very well that any click on this kind of website would leave a record in the background, so in addition to reading the information he needed, he also read a lot of miscellaneous things.
It was not until the sky outside the window gradually darkened and the light from the screen became dazzling that he closed the webpage and was about to stick the camera back on with black tape.
Buzz~~Buzz~~~!
The flip phone placed aside suddenly vibrated.
I unlocked the phone and saw an anonymous message in my inbox:
"Tonight at 9 o'clock, on the top floor of the Daikoku Building, "Black Widow" bar".
Lin Jiashu narrowed his eyes slightly.
After a while,
A smile appeared on Hayashi's face, and he just whispered slowly:
"…The sun has set, so we need to turn on the lights first."
