Jiang Lai glanced at Suzuki Sonoko's exquisite little bag, but in the end he did nothing.

...Forget it, with this bracelet, it is enough to maintain the image of a money-loving little sheep in front of Bermode and satisfy the little sheep's purpose of grabbing this identity. Jiang Lai thought to himself. After all, he was mainly performing for the Thousand-Faced Witch!

Should I return the bracelet afterwards? However, maybe I should change it to an equivalent form. Jiang Lai pondered slowly in his heart. If I return it intact, it will be troublesome if Bermode finds it.

Jiang Lai adjusted his posture and perfectly hid the bracelet in his sleeve in the special pocket inside. He caught a glimpse of Heiyu Kuaidou standing on the other side.

At this moment, the strange thief with the appearance of Kudo Shinichi was looking at Jiang Lai with complicated eyes, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, and he looked extremely entangled.

Jiang Lai was stunned for a second before he reacted - from the other party's angle, plus his eyesight as a thief, he probably saw him taking Suzuki Sonoko's bracelet just now! !

Although his stealth was witnessed, Jiang Lai was not nervous at all. Instead, he raised the corners of his lips and gave the other party a playful and brilliant little lamb-like smile.

——He didn’t believe that the strange thief Kidd would dare to expose him in person!

Jiang Lai is very confident in his ability to perform on the spot. Even if Kuroba Kaito really says something, he can perfectly hide it and put the blame on Kaito (?)

Thief Kidd: Are you polite?

Kuaidou said he would not take the blame! He was an upright and focused thief!

Seeing the black-haired young man's bright sheep-like smile, Hei Yu Kaidou felt choked up - this attitude, it is obvious that he has already prepared a backup plan. Now he is really fighting alone, all alone... By the way, when will the little detective come back?

Conan: Thank you for the invitation. I was sent away by you. :-D

In the end, Kuroba Kaito still didn't say anything, and at the same time, a thought vaguely popped up in his mind - I didn't feel that Jiang Lai had such a nature in the building before? How could this be!

Is this another kind of bad taste that the other party has shown? ?

Heiyu Kaito did not notice Jiang Lai's disguise at this time. After all, he was still a high school student at heart. He was not as experienced as Bermode in the Black Organization and was not particularly proficient and sensitive in disguise.

Normally, people who know how to disguise themselves may not be able to spot the disguises of their peers. Only those who have reached a certain level and are accustomed to being constantly vigilant and observant can detect the subtle traces of others' disguises.

Conan finally came running back in a hurry, holding the silver-haired boy behind him. Mao Lilan smiled and said, "You are back. Teacher Jiang Lai is here too~" She looked at Kurosawa Akira, "That's great, your brother is here to accompany you."

"..." Kurosawa Akira didn't speak immediately, but just raised his dark green eyes and looked at Jiang Lai quietly.

The black-haired young man heard what Mao Lilan said, smiled and raised his hand to touch the other person's head, but was dodged by Kurosawa Akira without a trace - Jiang Lai did not stop, and the action naturally turned to pat Conan's shoulder beside him: "Nice to see you."

Only Conan and Kuroba Kaito, who were highly focused, noticed Kurosawa Akira's slight evasive movement, and their hearts were all frozen!

If Kurosawa Akira, who is most familiar with the opponent, reacted by dodging first... then who is this person in front of him? It must not be Jiang Lai himself!

Jiang Lai had already anticipated the scene at this moment, and he slightly raised the corners of his lips.

Whether it was Lu Zhao or Hui Zhao, they were both very careful and sensitive about their own status. Jiang Lai's heart was like a mirror. Xiao Zhao could even detect the perfume left by the tie at that time, not to mention the more inconsistent and detailed self that was revealed now.

At this time, not only did he wear a tie that he usually didn't want to wear, but he also used this slightly unfamiliar way of talking to him. Kurosawa Akira would distance himself from him without leaving a trace, which was a prudent and expected behavior.

Of course, Lu Zhao might feel a bit of unfamiliar confusion and fear, but if it was Hui Zhao, he would immediately be able to detect and guess that it was himself in front of him - it was just because he was carrying out the mission of Ice Wine that his language and actions changed.

Jiang Lai knew that Vermode was present, so she would definitely notice Kurosawa Akira. But since Akira had told her not to worry, Jiang Lai put her worries aside for the time being.

Maybe Vermouth and Xiao Zhao know each other?

No matter what, it is safer to let Xiao Zhao follow Conan and Xiaolan. If there is any danger, Vermouth will definitely let Xiaolan and Conan avoid it in advance.

Jiang Lai's eyebrows were curved.

Also, deliberately exposing a few flaws to let Xiao Zhao avoid him was also to let Conan and Kuroba Kaito realize that the person in front of them was not "Jiang Lai" himself. Jiang Lai nodded in his heart. This way, he can really be a good little sheep and let himself go happily (bushi)! !

What does the chaotic and evil little sheep in the wine factory do to the pure and kind people's teacher Jiang Lai?

Just as Jiang Lai stood up, the entire exhibition hall suddenly fell into darkness!

“!???” Jiang Lai was stunned.

Although the power outage is also part of their spoiled wine (?) team's plan, he hasn't taken action yet!

Jiang Lai said: Who exactly stole my job?

The darkness made everyone agitated for a moment, and the whole exhibition hall was noisy. Fortunately, the power outage was only short-lived, and then suddenly the eyes were bright again! The whole exhibition hall was bright again.

Jiang Lai squinted his eyes to adjust to the sudden change in brightness. Before his vision was completely clear, he heard a piercing scream.

"ah--!!"

A terrified shout from the front immediately attracted everyone's attention. As the crowd dispersed subconsciously, everyone's eyes moved there!

There was a corpse lying on the ground, blood gushing out from the back of the head. Behind him, in the largest glass display case containing gems, the dazzling Rossiya ruby ​​had disappeared!

Jiang Lai: “…” He subconsciously glanced at Heiba ​​Kaito who was wearing Kudo Shinichi’s skin.

Conan: “!?” He subconsciously glanced at the thief Kid who was wearing his skin on his side.

Kuroba Kaito: ...What are you looking at me for? I'm shocked too!

Mr. Thief said that although he did have a plan, he had not yet had time to steal the gems - the most important thing is, how could he kill anyone!

After Conan noticed that the gem disappeared, he just glanced at Kid subconsciously, but he quickly realized in his heart that it was definitely not Kid who did all this.

First of all, the thief Kidd is always by their side. Even if the power outage causes darkness in their vision, it is too short a time for him to steal gems and kill people. Moreover, Kidd will not kill people!

So who is the murderer...

The security personnel on the scene were very efficient and quickly maintained order at the scene. The local police nearby also quickly arrived here. The three suspects who had just left the glass display case and the deceased were gathered together and questioned by the police.

At this moment, Kuroba Kaito, wearing the skin of Kudo Shinichi, also stepped forward. As a famous detective on the surface, he must stand up in such a scene. The real famous detective Conan also followed Kuroba Kaito's steps and came in front of the three suspects.

The classic three-choice plot is about to unfold——!

Jiang Lai looked up at the three suspects.

The first one was a tall, thin middle-aged man with a sparse crew cut. He looked shocked, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock of seeing the dead man. He held a handkerchief in his hand and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. When facing the police's questioning, he showed the awkwardness and nervousness that a normal person should have.

"Well, I really don't know what happened! It was dark and noisy just now, and as soon as I closed my eyes..." He stammered and explained that he absolutely could not be the murderer.

The second person was a woman with long blond hair in a neat ponytail, wearing a white shirt and a denim skirt. At this moment, her face also showed the panic that ordinary people would have after a disaster, and she was trying her best to calm herself down and maintain the dignity of a lady.

"I, I don't know what happened just now. I was still immersed in the beauty of the Rossiya ruby, and in the blink of an eye, it was suddenly pitch black, and then..." the blonde woman explained in a low voice.

Jiang Lai: “…” Wait, isn’t this Belmode’s disguise!

As expected of her, she is an actress with extraordinary acting skills! It was an honor to witness it in person.

The third person was a man with black curly hair and ordinary facial features. At this moment, he stood up straight. Although he had put away his lazy temperament in the face of such a murder scene, he still gave people a sense of laziness.

He raised his hand and pointed at the first tall and thin man directly: "He is the murderer."

Jiang Lai said: Is the three-choice contest coming to an end so soon?

There were three suspects at the scene, two of whom were acquaintances. It was obvious who the real murderer was.

But...Matsuda, why don't you be so direct?

Everyone present was stunned when they heard Matsuda Jinpei's straightforward reply. The tall and thin man's reaction was even more excited: "Why do you slander me? You are the real murderer!"

"Huh? Although it was dark at the time, I could still hear the direction from which the sound came." Matsuda Jinpei folded his arms and replied, "Okay, officers, and detective boy, now that you have pointed out who the murderer is, quickly find the evidence and let us go."

Jiang Lai twitched his lips. He stood not far away and retracted the step he was about to take.

…Forget it, let’s just leave the situation to them.

The murderer has been identified, but who stole the gem?

Jiang Lai was troubled by thoughts.

He couldn't let Vermouth get the real gem data... He was planning to use his advantage by being next to Kidd as an excuse to get the data device from Vermouth and then record false data.

But at this moment, the plan may have to be changed again.

Jiang Lai looked up and saw that they were still searching for the murderer. The disguised Vermouth and Matsuda Jinpei, as well as Kuroba Kaito, who was posing as Kudo Shinichi, were all standing there and could not leave for a while.

...Well, let's take advantage of this brief break to take a look at the comics to see if there are any hints.

The author has something to say: A victim and three suspects appear.

Jiang Lai: The three-choice competition has begun!

Glancing at the faces of the three people.

Jiang Lai: ...The three-choice contest is over. :-D
