Patter, patter, patter…patter…
The sound of water in the bathroom gradually became quieter and quieter.
A moment later, Hayashi came out in a yukata, wiping his wet hair with a towel while opening and unlocking his flip phone.
"Come to the bar at 7 o'clock tomorrow night."
It was still a text message sent from an anonymous number.
After reading it, Hayashi didn't have any special reaction. He just deleted the text message and went to the bedroom window.
——It was foreseeable that Gin would arrange another meeting, but this time he failed to catch any evidence against him, and he didn't know if he would have any other ideas.
But none of this matters for now.
In Hayashi's opinion, it is quite easy to work in a winery.
As long as you can complete the tasks assigned by the organization and do not harm... or are not found to have harmed the interests of the organization, many other things will be easy.
For example, Gin, who can deal with members of the organization at will, can tolerate the intelligence personnel such as Vermouth and Bourbon, and tolerate Chianti's provocation against him, simply because these people have outstanding professional abilities and he has not caught any evidence against them.
However, it would not be a good situation if Gin valued him and frequently sent him to do dirty work.
"So next, it would be best if I could improve my social status as quickly as possible..."
Just like Pisco in the organization, because of his relatively high social status, even though he is occasionally assigned some work by the organization, his "attendance" frequency is quite low.
Therefore, Hayashi felt that it was not enough for him to be just a mystery novelist.
"If I become a famous detective..."
Hayashi lowered his eyes and looked out the window.
The winery does not lack a good executioner, but a detective who can participate in various cases and investigate various information openly is undoubtedly more useful to the winery.
Besides, becoming a detective was also Hayashi's idea from the beginning.
The Death Note is very useful, but if you only use the criminals found on the organization's intranet as consumables, you never know what will be noticed after a while.
But if you are a detective, no matter how many cases and criminals you deal with, no one will think you are conspicuous, and you can also get in touch with some very useful talents.
For example, the killer who likes to snipe the target's right eye in the movie, Kevin Yoshino, a former sergeant of the US Marine Corps and a sniper expert, and Maya Tachibana, a professional killer who is good at strangling the target with steel wire in the play...
Although with the Death Note in his hand, Hayashi Yoshiki probably doesn't need to rely on these "talents" to help him do anything.
However, these people's identities and personal abilities are very useful.
After all, even if the Death Note was used, if target A, who had no experience in holding a gun, used a sniper rifle to shoot target B in the head from 600 yards away, the result would only make the cause of death impossible and both parties would die directly from cardiac arrest...but controlling a sniper to do it is another matter.
And because they are criminals or professional killers, they can kill as many people as they want for no reason without arousing suspicion.
"…"
Hayashi suddenly thought of some interesting people, put down the towel, with his not completely dry hair hanging down, and sat in front of the computer.
Turn on the computer, type "Lupin the Third" into the search engine and press Enter... Due to the slow Internet speed, the blank web page took several seconds to display the search results.
Lupin III, the internationally wanted thief, the descendant of the great thief Arsene Lupin, has committed many crimes around the world since his appearance, and is currently wanted by more than 30 countries.
I actually found it...
The bright light from the display screen illuminated Hayashi's face.
Looking at the wanted photo of a person who looked a bit like a monkey in the search results, he quickly read the relevant information.
Lupin the Third is the protagonist of a highly popular work from the 1970s. Although it is a long time ago, it was later linked with "Detective Conan" for two theatrical versions... Now that we can find relevant information about him on the Internet, I think the worldviews of the two have been merged together.
There are many powerful characters in "Lupin the Third"...
This is where his thoughts diverged.
Before traveling through time, Hayashi was not a professional killer or spy, and had never touched a gun. Although he had learned some fighting skills, compared to the humanoid Tyrannosaurus in this world, his power was just mediocre.
Therefore, once he was in a critical situation, it seemed that he could do nothing - at a critical moment, the speed of writing a name on the Death Note obviously could not be faster than a gun.
Hayashi had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
There are supernatural powers in this world, and the most intuitive phenomenon is the magic of the witch Koizumi...
However, learning magic is still somewhat impractical.
However, what interests Hayashi Yoshiki more is another character from "Kaito Kid" who also appears in the film like Koizumi: the world-famous illusionist Gunnar von Goldberg II.
On the surface, he is a world-renowned magician, but secretly he is a killer hired by a mysterious organization codenamed "Spider". He has tried to kill Kaito Kid several times in the plot. His illusions are almost equivalent to magic, and they seem to be achieved by technological means.
As his thoughts reached this point, Hayashi searched for relevant information about the other party on the web - because he was a famous illusionist, there was a lot of information and photos about him on the Internet.
Hayashi took out the Death Note, copied the other person's name on a blank page, and wrote the cause of death.
Gunnar von Goldberg II
"At 00:14:31 PM on March 19th, Tokyo time, make an international call to 0081-xxx-xxx-xxx. Once the call is connected, follow all instructions from the other end of the line."
"On April 12, Tokyo time, he was met with robbers outdoors and was shot to death."
In the original work, it was once said that the name "Gunnar von Goldberg II" was actually a pseudonym, and even the other party's nationality information was all forged, so Hayashi just wrote it down with the mentality of giving it a try.
I waited until the time came to 00:15, but there was no movement from the phone.
It's a fake name...
Hayashi didn't feel lost.
He just regretted that he couldn't use the Eye of Shinigami yet, otherwise, he would be able to know the other person's name directly from the photo.
He have to think of a different way.
