The news of Teiji Moriya's death appeared in an inconspicuous corner of the newspaper.
He has been dead for more than ten days.
Hayashi Yoshiki manipulated others to get the bombs he made, including six remote-controlled bombs. He was quite satisfied with this harvest.
He quickly took one of the bombs to test.
--Whether it is suicide or accidental death, the Death Note cannot directly cause the death of anyone other than the person whose name is written. If it causes the death of someone else, the person whose name is written will suffer a heart attack without causing the death of a third person.
The above content is the regulations written on the cover page of the notebook.
Therefore, Hayashi Yoshiki could not control the person whose name was written to run into the crowd with a remote-controlled bomb and explode himself. If he did so, the other person would immediately suffer a cardiac arrest on the spot.
However, after testing, he could write that someone was carrying a remote-controlled bomb and ran into a crowd and died of a heart attack, and then Hayashi Yoshiki himself would press the bomb switch to make the bomb explode in the crowd - of course, he did not actually do this.
It was just confirmed that for the Death Note, the rule of "not affecting the death of a third party" only applies to the person whose name is written, and that Hayashi Yoshiki pressed the bomb switch after the person whose name was written died, which was not within the scope of consideration of the Death Note.
In addition, if A, whose name is written on him, runs into a crowd with a bomb and dies of a heart attack, and then B, whose name is also written on him, stays at a distance and presses the bomb switch, A will act according to what is written in the note, but B will die directly from a heart attack.
But this is enough.
This is also a trump card for Hayashi Yoshiki.
For example, he could control a passerby to run with a bomb and die in front of Gin, and then at that moment he could press the bomb switch to send Gin into the sky - writing a name on the Death Note and activating the bomb with his own hands, the nature of these two things is not much different for Hayashi Yoshiki, and will not bring him any psychological impact or burden at all.
"Teacher Lin, are you ready?"
"Yeah, I'm ready."
"Haha... I hope you won't be startled later. There's a long line of eager book fans waiting outside, so you might have to be prepared."
"Hearing you say that, I feel really stressed out."
Facing the remarks made by Asamiya Nanae, the editor of Futaba Publishing, Hayashi Yoshiki did feel the pressure increasing.
Today is the release date of his new book and also the first day of the book signing event.
The popularity accumulated by the excessive publicity and promotion in the past made the publishing house and Hayashi Yoshiki realize that today would definitely be a tough battle, so the venue of the signing event was upgraded to a more professional large venue... With this treatment, it is indeed almost the same as that of a popular star.
Then, the next moment when the book signing session began, the influx of people made Hayashi Yoshiki hold his breath.
"The signing event has begun. Please line up in an orderly manner and avoid crowding."
"Everyone please line up"
"Anyone who needs help can always contact our staff."
"..."
Radio and publishing staff worked hard to maintain order.
"Teacher Lin!!!!"
"Ah, thank you for your support. Can I sign here?"
"Sure, sure!"
"Okay.....I wish you a happy life."
Hayashi Yoshiki smiled and went into work mode.
From greeting, smiling, opening the book page, signing, and handing it over, the whole process was done in one go.
Hayashi Yoshiki kept repeating this.
However, the number of people queuing in the venue did not decrease at all. According to the staff, the queue was far from the end even outside the venue...
At this time, outside the venue, there were several guys in black clothes standing.
"Hey... You dare to cut in line in front of us, do you want to die?"
Tequila grabbed a guy who was trying to sneak forward with one hand and lifted him in front of him, staring at him with murderous eyes as if he were a dead man.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry!!!"
The queue-jumper was shaking all over and his voice became shrill.
Tequila snorted and pushed the guy out of the team.
Chianti crossed her arms over her chest while chewing bubble gum. After the bubble she blew popped, she sucked it back in and continued chewing.
"There are so many people lining up… Isn't Cointreau too popular?"
Vodka wiped the sweat off his forehead. This didn't happen when he was arranging a handshake meeting with his idol.
At this moment, he could even see some young and beautiful girls holding light signs with Hayashi Yoshiki's name on them, and some of them were even wearing uniform... Wasn't this just like a star-chasing scene?
I wonder what these women's expressions would be if they knew that Cointreau was actually a highly intelligent psychopath with a murderous habit.
"Firing a shot here will definitely scare away 90% of these guys." Chianti said with a crazy grin on his face.
"Don't even think about Cointreau talking to you in that case, Chianti."
Cohen, who was usually silent, spoke up.
"Tsk! Isn't it just adding your name to the book? Is it necessary to look forward to it for so many days and come to attend the book signing event?"
Cohen did not answer.
He looked at the long line in front of him and felt a little anxious.
Cohen had never thought that Vodka and Tequila would follow him, and he didn't know what they were thinking... Chianti's words were not surprising. After all, this partner was crazy. She probably wanted to show up at the book signing to tease Cointreau, but with so many people queuing up now, she must have regretted it a long time ago.
But none of this matters.
In short, he wants to see Cointreau's book as soon as possible.
And behind the people from the winery...nearly seven or eight hundred meters away, a group of little kids also lined up at the very end of the long queue.
"Ah, we're late!" Yoshida Ayumi looked at the team in front of her and felt a little anxious.
"We are not late, it's just that others came earlier than us."
Conan answered while looking at his watch.
But... compared to the last book signing event, this is too exaggerated, right?
Conan's mouth twitched.
"It will definitely take a long time if we keep waiting like this. I think we should just give up and go somewhere else to play." Kojima Genta complained.
"No, didn't we agree to buy big brother's book and get his autograph?"
"But this is too long, Ayumi." Mitsuhiko also said.
"...What about Ai? What do you say, Ai?"
Seeing that neither of the two boys supported her, Yoshida Ayumi immediately looked at her only female accomplice.
Ai Huihara, who was carrying a schoolbag, used her fingertips to brush the hair on her forehead behind her ears.
"Just wait here for me..."
She has some interest in the Cointreau book.
Also, instead of playing detective games with a bunch of kids, she might as well wait in line here.
Ayumi immediately became delighted.
On the other hand, both Kojima Genta and Kamiya Mitsuhiko looked frustrated.
"Ah.....how come even Ai is attracted to that big brother?"
