We are concerned with the uniqueness of mild solutions in the critical Lebesgue space $ L^{\frac{n}{2}}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) $ for the parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel system, $ n\geq4 $. For that, we prove the bicontinuity of the bilinear term of the mild formulation in the critical weak-$ L^{\frac{n}{2}} $ space, without using Kato time-weighted norms, time-spatial mixed Lebesgue norms (i.e., $ L^{q}((0, T);L^{p}) $-norms with $ q\neq\infty $), and any other auxiliary norms. Our proofs are based on Yamazaki's estimate, duality and Hölder's inequality, as well as an adapted Meyer-type argument. Since they are different from those of Kozono, Sugiyama and Yahagi [J. Diff. Eq. 253 (2012)] and it is not clear whether mild solutions are weak solutions in the critical $ C([0, T);L^{\frac{n}{2}}) $, our results complement theirs in a twofold way. Moreover, the bilinear estimate together heat semigroup estimates yield a well-posedness result whose dependence with respect to the decay rate $ \gamma $ of the chemoattractant is also analyzed.
