After noon the next day, everyone attending the party began to pack up and prepare to leave.
Hayashi Yoshiki and his group also packed up and came to the door.
"How is the child's condition? Is he feeling better, Mr. Lin?"
Araki helped to carry the luggage to the door, and at the same time glanced at Haibara Ai who was wearing a mask and following Hayashi Yoshiki.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Huang." Hayashi Yoshiki replied with a smile, and at the same time glanced at Huiyuan who was silent beside him and said with a sad smile: "Her fever just subsided two hours ago. Let her have a good rest after returning home, and it should be fine."
"That's good."
A group of people walked out of the house.
The shoes made a rustling sound as they stepped on the snow, the wind was howling, and Hayashi Yoshiki naturally held Huihara Ai's young hand.
When I went out, I saw a few people making snowmen yesterday.
Haibara Ai couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"Xiao Ai, do you feel uncomfortable?" Xiao Lan couldn't help but ask her.
"No."
The child's answer was a little cold.
However, Xiaolan didn't mind this kind of thing. When she heard from her tone that she was still in high spirits, she smiled with relief and turned around to continue talking to her best friend.
The two were discussing whether to go shopping after returning home.
Although Sonoko wanted to persuade Xiaolan to invite Hayashi Yoshiki to go together, she gave up this plan when she knew that Ai's fever had just subsided.
The four of them crossed the suspension bridge and got into the car.
"Brother Jiashu, don't you want to invite Mr. Doi to go back with you?" Xiaolan remembered that Hayashi Yoshiki said that Doi Takeshu was a friend.
"No, he will fly back by himself later."
"Fly back?"
"Yes."
Because Hayashi Yoshiki said it lightly, the two girls in the back seat just thought he was telling a weird joke.
Xiao Ai's somewhat muffled voice came from under the mask:
".....He is Kaito Kid in disguise."
"What?"
"The katakana of Doi Takeki, if you change the order, it becomes Kaito Kid."
"Is this true?!"
The two people in the back seat were immediately shocked.
But if you think about it carefully, Jiashu said that they had met each other... So this is what he meant?
The incredible encounter made the two high school girls feel novel and wonderful. After all, he was an internationally famous thief! And Sonoko was even more excited - it turned out that the person she was chatting with was actually Kaito Kid?
Hayashi Yoshiki concentrated on driving.
Haibara Ai would occasionally glance at him but say nothing.
The fact that Doi Takeki was Kaito Kid was something she suddenly thought of last night when she had a fever and couldn't sleep and was thinking about all sorts of things. It seemed that Coindo realized the other person's identity just by walking in and taking a look...
No wonder he is so valued by Gin.
Hayashi Yoshiki drove for nearly two hours, and after sending Xiaolan and Sonoko to the door of the Mori Detective Agency, he drove to the yard of Dr. Agasa's house.
"Although the fever has subsided, you still need to take your temperature more often later."
".....I know."
Haibara Ai lowered her head, and the mask completely covered the flushed look on her face.
Two.
Last night, and this morning.
Cointreau completely ignored her resistance and forcefully administered the medicine to her himself.
The only thing she remembered in her hazy head last night was his strong and irresistible face. As for this morning when her fever had subsided to a low level, although Haibara Ai was already more sober, when Hayashi Yoshiki heard her resistance to taking the medicine again, he went straight forward to help her use it.
At this point, Haibara Ai finally understood.
--Cointreau is essentially a very tough guy.
Although he always had a smile on his face and spoke gently, when necessary, he would not tolerate being rejected.
The domineering nature hidden beneath the gentleness is quite capable of subduing people... But when she thought of that scene, Haibara Ai's self-esteem was a little frustrated, and she felt like her forehead was starting to burn again.
"Pervert..." She couldn't help but mutter quietly.
"What?"
"nothing."
In fact, Haibara Ai was just too shy to say this, and she naturally didn't think that Hayashi Yoshiki was some kind of perverted lolita lover.
Hayashi Yoshiki suddenly took out a box of medicine from his pocket.
"By the way, here is another one. Mr. Araki Yoshinori told me to keep it with me just in case. But judging from your current appearance, you should be able to use it yourself if necessary."
"No need! Dr. Agasa has some common antipyretic medicine at home."
"That's good."
The two of them entered Dr. Agasa's house together.
After ringing the doorbell,
"Oh! Mr. Lin, you are here. I have made the fire-retardant paint you told me about last time."
"So soon?"
"Because it's not a difficult task. Wait a moment... Xiao Ai, take Mr. Lin to find a seat first."
Dr. Agasa quickly returned to his laboratory to get something.
Finally, he took out a small bottle of transparent liquid reagent and a few pages of paper.
"It's called fire-retardant paint, but of course it's not 100% fireproof. It's just that once this agent is applied, the paper that would normally burn in a few seconds will become a little more resistant to burning... maybe more than ten seconds."
Dr. Agasa began to perform the actual operation while speaking.
He didn't explain any principle, he just put two pieces of the same paper together with fire-retardant coating and one without, and then set them on fire. The piece of paper without coating was burned black in an instant, while the piece of paper with fire-retardant coating was obviously more difficult to ignite... and it could last longer in the flames.
That's enough--
What Hayashi Yoshiki needs is to make the paper of the Death Note not be burned during the high-temperature denaturation of the words written in invisible ink. Dr. Agasa's research can be said to perfectly meet his needs.
Next, you just need to add a small prop that can ignite instantly, such as a wallet that automatically burns when opened.
Imagine this, Hayashi Yoshiki only needs to write the three words "Kurosawa Jin" and the detailed cause of death in invisible ink on the Death Note in advance and hide it in the mechanism prepared in advance. In the future, as long as he can activate it when necessary, he can control the opponent in turn...
"As expected of you, Dr. Agasa. How much do I need to pay for this?"
"What are you talking about, Mr. Lin? Why would you spend money on such a small thing?" Dr. Agasa scratched his head. "Uh, why is Ai wearing a mask?"
"She caught a cold and had a fever last night."
Hayashi Yoshiki explained it again.
Of course, because Dr. Agasa knew Haibara Ai's true identity and age, Hayashi Yoshiki did not tell her what medicine he gave her.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lin. Anyway, you can use this fire-retardant paint first. If it's not enough, you can come back to me later."
"Okay, thank you for your help then."
