Jiang Lai paused slightly.

Did Hagiwara happen to be here? He was clearly squatting at the haunted house just now. He originally thought that the police's squatting work was a relatively fixed division of labor, and they would only wander around in one area, but it seems that they will still come here and there.

With thoughts running through his mind, Jiang Lai held Kurosawa Akira's hand and walked towards Hagiwara Kenji.

When the semi-long-haired man was some distance away, he had already sensed someone approaching. Hagiwara Kenji quickly raised his eyes, revealing light purple eyes: "Hey, Jiang Lai?" His expression was slightly surprised.

"Hi, what a coincidence." Jiang Lai greeted him, and Kurosawa Akira also greeted him politely.

"Well, it's indeed a coincidence that we meet again." Hagiwara Kenji smiled and put away his phone naturally.

Jiang Lai couldn't see clearly what was on Hagiwara's second-hand phone - the distance was a bit far, and the angle was wrong.

"What were you watching just now, Hagiwara? A short video?" Jiang Lai asked with a smile in a casual chat tone between friends.

"Ah, just some unimportant news." Hagiwara Kenji raised the corners of his lips and lightly skipped the topic.

"Come to think of it, I saw a series of short videos about gourmet food a few days ago, and I wanted to share it with you." Jiang Lai continued chatting, making the previous conversation less purposeful and abrupt. "It's a treasure video! I remember Hagiwara, you said before that you were interested in trying new dishes. This one happens to focus on innovation, so it's a perfect fit."

"Haha, OK." Hagiwara Kenji also answered, a smile flashing in his purple eyes, "I'll wait for you to share it with me when we get back." He lowered his eyes and looked at Kurosawa Akira who was wearing a fox mask, "Oh? It wasn't there when we were at the door of the haunted house just now. Was it the mask you just put on?"

"Yes, we were tired from playing just now, so Xiao Zhao and I went to draw masks." Jiang Lai nodded, "Now that we have finally finished it, of course we have to wear it~ After all, it will not look out of place in the amusement park."

"Indeed." Hagiwara Kenji smiled, "Because there are many people wearing masks here." He bent down and looked at Kurosawa Akira, his voice magnetic and pleasant, "The mask is beautifully painted, Kurosawa~ So, wear it in the amusement park."

"Yeah!" Hearing the compliment, Kurosawa Akira nodded happily, "Brother Jiang Lai also told me to wear it well!"

"After all, this is a whole day of outdoor activities. I feel that if we don't provide some kind of cover, the children's faces will get sunburned and peeled." Jiang Lai said in a half-worried tone.

"Indeed." Hagiwara Kenji straightened up. "Children are not like adults. What are you going to play next?"

Does this mean to drive customers away?

Jiang Lai still had a smile on his face and said, "I haven't decided yet. I plan to go to an area that is more inclined towards leisure and entertainment."

"If you go to the left, there is a small 4D movie theater there. It is said to be very good. You can try it." Hagiwara Kenji suggested, "Besides, with this kind of indoor entertainment, you don't need to worry about sun protection."

The cinema is a closed and fixed place, but watching movies in the dark is not convenient for Jiang Lai, who needs to take out his mobile phone from time to time. Turning on the mobile phone screen in the dark cinema is undoubtedly very conspicuous.

However, Jiang Lai still answered happily: "Really? Since it is Hagiwara's suggestion, of course I have to consider it carefully!"

"Oh, it's really touching that Xiao Jianglai trusts me so much~" Hagiwara Kenji smiled, and then waved his hand, "Okay, I won't disturb you and your family's fun, go quickly."

"Goodbye, then." Jiang Lai said goodbye to each other and took Kurosawa Akira's hand.

Before he turned around and left, Hagiwara Kenji suddenly called him again: "Jiang Lai."

"Hmm?" Jiang Lai turned around and looked at Hagiwara Kenji who was standing under the shadow of a tree with one hand in his pocket.

"..." The other party raised his eyes and smiled, "The cinema is a good place." The man with half-long hair winked: "Even if it suddenly rains later, there is no need to worry at all."

"Is it really going to rain..." The silver-haired boy looked up at the sky.

"Although it's not mentioned in the weather forecast, it's kind of a hunch," said Kenji Hagiwara, placing his thumb and index finger on both sides of his cheeks.

Jiang Lai blinked, then raised his eyebrows and replied: "In this case, it would be safer to watch a 4D movie."

"Yes, so go ahead." Hagiwara Kenji really waved his hand this time, "If there are any new shorts this month, remember to tell me."

"Okay." Jiang Lai nodded and said goodbye to the other party with a smile.

They walked towards the path on the left. Kurosawa Akira skipped forward, happy that he had just been praised for his beautiful mask. He turned his head and asked with some curiosity, "By the way, is Hagiwara-nii alone? Why don't we invite him to play with us?"

"It shouldn't be just one person." Jiang Lai thought. If he was on a mission, there should be other plainclothes policemen around, but he didn't notice them just now.

"Brother Hagiwara is busy, so we won't disturb him." Jiang Lai replied with a smile.

"Hey? What is he busy with?" Kurosawa Akira blinked his eyes. "He has to work in the amusement park. It must be so hard."

"Yeah, the investigation department is very hard." Jiang Lai looked ahead. The signpost indicated the location of the cinema, and he and Kurosawa Akira walked in that direction.

Come to think of it…Hagiwara Kenji actually emphasized to him twice that he should go to the cinema. He even asked him to help him find out if there were any new movies. If that was the case, Jiang Lai really needed to go to the cinema himself (but after all, Jiang Lai didn’t plan to actually sit in a dark cinema).

In fact, this is just a normal conversation between friends, but in the context of this mission, everything becomes a little confusing.

After all, the time and place of the other party's appearance and the action of looking at the phone just now were a bit too coincidental... Jiang Lai had a flash of thought in his mind. Could it be that the other party was Pinot Noir himself?

No, no, no, that shouldn't be the case! Jiang Lai kept shaking his head in his heart. There was no sign at all... and the forum didn't seem to have guessed in this direction?

Although there were jokes like "the police academy group was doing team-building at the winery" and "the squad leader and Natasha were dating while the others were doing team-building activities", it was estimated that no one really took it that way, and the three wills had almost no effect on Kenji Hagiwara.

As for Kenji Hagiwara's contact with the organization... as far as I know, it seems that the only ones he had were Jinpei Matsuda, who was resurrected at the beginning, and Toru Amuro, who had several contacts afterwards.

Jiang Lai sorted out his thoughts in his mind.

It's true that Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara have been paying close attention to the "Man in Black" element in the following days...but they won't really touch the brewery, right?

It's impossible that he sneaked in just to find Matsuda? It's impossible to get a code name so quickly! Jiang Lai thought to himself. Getting a code name is not an easy thing - of course, except for those who cheated with the power of will three times.

Moreover, as a genuine police officer, it is even more difficult to join the organization. In the non-existent memory, Jinpei Matsuda faked his death and entered the organization because he was disgusted and disappointed with the police system and wanted to overthrow it in a more radical way. Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda have different experiences, so he can't use this excuse!

Jiang Lai thought slowly.

So based on the above, it is impossible that Hagiwara Kenji's wine is fake... unless there is something I don't know.

Speaking of which, since the Summerst incident ended, Morobushi Kagemitsu was resurrected, and the hidden boss line was opened, Jiang Lai became busy and did not often go out to eat and chat with Hagiwara Kenji as before. Similarly, Hagiwara seemed to be busy at that time, and the two of them almost never met on the stairs.

This period was a blank period for Jiang Lai and Hagiwara Kenji, and I don’t know if anything happened during that time...

A breeze blew by, bringing a little coolness.

But it's too early to think about this now. Jiang Lai said, "Let's wait until the mysterious Pinot Noir contacts me next time."

Exhaling a breath of foul air, Jiang Lai looked forward and suddenly came to his senses.

By the way, instead of thinking that Kenji Hagiwara is drunk... you should think about it from the perspective of a police officer!

If Hagiwara was carrying out a mission on behalf of the police, then he and other colleagues would probably be wandering along the roads where the target might appear. There is an 80% chance that this target overlaps with the organization's target.

However, the absolute confidentiality during the mission prevented Hagiwara Kenji from saying much to himself as an ordinary person. Therefore, whether he suggested going home early because it was raining or recommended going to the cinema, was he hoping to keep himself and Xiao Zhao away from the danger zone?

Thinking this way, it seems to make sense.

I will check the surveillance around the merry-go-round later, and combine it with the information that Pinot Noir might ask me for, to screen other suspicious candidates. Jiang Lai was frowning in his heart.

I don’t know if Conan is in this amusement park. If he is, according to the usual routine of the scientific world, we will probably have to open up the three-choice road from his perspective.

Just as Jiang Lai was thinking, a group of familiar figures suddenly appeared in his sight. Kurosawa Akira had already waved and greeted them: "Uncle Maori, Sister Xiaolan, Conan!"

...Speak of the devil and he will appear.

Jiang Lai smiled and greeted the people who were coming over. He noticed that there was a strange figure in this familiar team.

It was a woman Jiang Lai had never seen before. Her straight flax hair was not too long and just fell to her shoulders. She had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, which were the same light purple eyes as Hagiwara Kenji. Her eyes lightly swept over the silver-haired Kurosawa Akira wearing a mask, and then fell on Jiang Lai.

Noticing Jiang Lai's gaze, she smiled and introduced herself: "Hello, I'm Ueda Kariko. It's our first meeting. I'm glad to meet you."

A faint scent of roses wafted in the wind.

Jiang Lai also smiled and responded: "Hello, I am Jiang Lai, I am also very happy to meet you, please give me your advice."

Author's comments: Jiang Lai: Hmm... According to previous speculation, Hagiwara should not be a fake wine? But there was a blank period between him and me, I don't know if anything happened during that time...

Jiang Lai: This new guy is with Conan and the others, but... we still don’t know much about him.

Jiang Lai: Pinot Noir, mysticism, ta-mea!
