Chapter 15



The dazed Jiang Lai fell forward slightly, but fortunately he finally reacted and stood up quickly.

"What's wrong?" Hagiwara Kenji noticed Jiang Lai's movements. He looked back, but his eyes were not focused on Matsuda Jinpei who was floating to the side.

Jiang Lai immediately realized that the other party still could not see Matsuda Jinpei.

"Ah... I was so tense just now, I feel a little numb." Jiang Lai laughed and walked over, "I got up too hastily."

Matsuda Jinpei at the side was still staring at his hand in a daze. The sudden materialization just now seemed like an illusion, and now he had returned to his translucent state.

"Does it feel numb? Yes, after all, we have been in this position for so long." Hagiwara Kenji stood up and naturally stretched out his hand to Jiang Lai, "Come, let me pull you."

"Okay~" Jiang Lai held the other's warm and dry hand, and Hagiwara Kenji pulled him up forcefully.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Jianglai." Hagiwara Kenji gave him a wink, "I'll treat you to dinner later."

"Haha, no need. Officer Hagiwara is the one who has to work hard, and it was you who invited me this time..."

"That's when I feel guilty." Hagiwara Kenji put one hand in his pocket, "A good vacation turned out like this... Well, I'm inviting you to dinner at my house, you're welcome."

"Although it's not as delicious as Morofushi's, Hagi's cooking skills are not bad either." Matsuda Jinpei returned to his usual self, "You'll have to try it."

Jiang Lai paused for only a second before nodding and smiling, "Okay, then I'll say thank you first."

Who doesn't love delicious food?

The explosions outside had long ceased, but the flames were still burning, accompanied by occasional collapse sounds. Fortunately, the cargo hold entrance was not blocked by collapsed objects.

After defusing the bomb, Kenji Hagiwara contacted the Metropolitan Police Department and reported the situation. The police had already made some preparations after being reminded by Jiang Lai using the HLJ number, and the rescue came in time.

"Do I still need to take notes?" Jiang Lai touched his nose. "I mainly want to find the children as soon as possible. I wonder how those three children are doing now..."

"I'll do it." Hagiwara Kenji waved his hand and said casually, "I'll leave the rest to the police."

"good."

The crowd was evacuated and after a simple comfort, most of them went home. Jiang Lai went to the temporary residence arranged by the police. In the empty lobby, the first thing he saw was a silver-haired boy sitting in the lobby.

"Xiao Zhao!"

"Brother Jiang Lai!" Kurosawa Aki's bright eyes also saw Jiang Lai. He ran over and hugged the young man, "...I'm so glad you're okay. I haven't seen you for a long time!"

"I don't know where you've been, but I'll wait here and I'll definitely wait for you." He raised his dark green eyes with the brilliance of a young man, "Where did you go just now?"

Jiang Lai paused for a moment: "Well, do what is right?"

"Wow, that sounds cool." The silver-haired boy blinked and said in a muffled voice, "But, I just want you to come back."

——Sure enough, just like the previous picnic accident, Kurosawa Akira himself has no memory of being in that state.

Jiang Lai thought slowly in his heart.

Moreover, this time, even the memory before and after the change of state is blurred? Kurosawa Akira also does not remember the scene where he grabbed him and gave Hagiwara tools as he explained.

...Is it for a better connection? To protect himself from discovering his second personality?

Jiang Lai was in silent contemplation.

Matsuda Jinpei could certainly understand Jiang Lai's expression. He stood to the side and did not take the initiative to ask Kurosawa Akira about what happened before. Instead, he jokingly changed the subject and said, "Where are your friends? You didn't lose them and run away, did you?"

"What? I'm not that kind of person!" Kurosawa Akira said with a half-moon eye. "Their parents came to pick them up."

"Natsume and Kuroko originally wanted to accompany me or take me home first. But I said no and let them go back," said Kurosawa Akira.

"Hey?" Jiang Lai said, "Actually, you can go with them next time. We live close by anyway, and I can pick you up later."

"But I want to wait for you."

"Haha, no need. In this special case, you can first..."

"I'll wait for you." The silver-haired boy interrupted Jiang Lai, raised his green eyes and repeated it again.

"Why?"

"I want to wait for you." The tone is that of a child's stubbornness, "otherwise let me follow you."

"..." Jiang Lai touched his nose and finally said with a half-compromising smile, "Okay, wait for me. I won't keep you waiting for too long next time."

Only then did Kurosawa Akira look satisfied. He held Jiang Lai's clothes and walked out with him.

"Are you feeling insecure, kid?" Matsuda Jinpei floated to Kurosawa Akira's side. "I didn't expect you to be such a clingy person." He teased him casually.

"That's because if you don't keep an eye on it, you'll lose it." Kurosawa Akira responded seriously to Matsuda Jinpei's teasing, "...it's very hard to find it if you lose it."

Jiang Lai looked down at the other person after hearing this. This way of speaking sounded a bit strange.

"Huh? It's not a pet or a toy, how could a person get lost?" Matsuda Jinping straightened up and replied with a yawn.

"People can get lost too." Kurosawa Akira blinked his dark green eyes, "They can disappear suddenly."

"But...if you just keep waiting there, maybe we'll meet again someday."

As persistent and innocent as little animals.

"Huh?" Matsuda Jinpei joked with him, "Are you waiting like that? You were right before. You'd better watch carefully."

"...What are you guys talking about?" Jiang Lai frowned, then taught correctly, "Meeting and parting are inevitable things in life. Just cherish every moment of companionship and don't dwell too much on a certain outcome."

Then, he decided to stop discussing these conceptual issues, and changed the subject with a smile, "Ah, it's so late, I'm really sleepy. How about sleeping until I wake up naturally tomorrow morning, and then we can go straight to lunch."

"Huh?" Kurosawa Akira's eyes widened, "...I'll be hungry."

Matsuda Jinpei said, "Don't think about it, Jiang Lai. I will wake you up tomorrow morning. Eat every meal carefully. Your health is very important."

"You, the police officer who always skips your meals and stays up late, have no right to criticize me."

"That was before - that's why I died early." Jinpei Matsuda raised his eyebrows and said in a nonchalant and teasing tone.

"What? You're forcing a connection? That's obviously not the cause of death..."

“Hahaha, I can’t tell.”

They chatted casually, and Jiang Lai let Kurosawa Akira hold his hand and walked out step by step.

Zhu Fu Jingguang is still not at home. I don't know where he is wandering. Jiang Lai thought. Why not take some time to talk to him? If there is anything, maybe I can help.

After watching Kurosawa Akira say good night politely and close the door, Jiang Lai also finished washing up and lay down on the bed, but was not in a hurry to go to sleep.

He first turned on his cell phone, hoping to find out something about Matsuda Jinpei from it - today's sudden appearance was both a shock and a surprise.

The comic describes an accident on the Starry Sky cruise ship. In the temporary police detention center under the ship, Conan searched for evidence and uncovered the bomber hidden in the crowd.

Jiang Lai: “…” As expected.

But the great detective is still very reliable and can find the murderer under these conditions.

At the same time, the comic has a dual narrative line, and the other half describes where Jiang Lai and Hagihara Kenji defuse the bomb.

When Jiang Lai said "Being impatient and irritable is a taboo", the comic gave him a full-body close-up with burning eyes and Matsuda's figure appearing in the background behind him.

After seeing Hagiwara Kenji's psychological monologue, Jiang Lai finally understood that the other party had only vaguely believed in the existence of "Teacher Kanna" until this moment!

So it seems that the appearance of Jinpei Matsuda has something to do with the further belief of Kenji Hagiwara?

Jiang Lai's gaze shifted to the forum.

[The horror cruise is on again. The fireworks show is late but it’s coming. Death is coming. Don’t run (dog head.jpg).]

[Hahaha, stop it, the person above, stop making such jokes! ]

[Ahhh Jiang Lai is back! Looks like he's really going to be one of the main characters in the new series? ]

[The interaction between him and Kurosawa Akira is full of information... That second personality has appeared again! I was really scared! 】

[But it's still quite heartwarming (?), after all, he is a caring guardian, right? ]

[u1s1, now I am a little confused about the relationship between Kurosawa Akira and Jiang Lai. 】

[A dark guess is that Jiang Lai might be taking the warm route to control Kurosawa Akira's first personality and use the second personality for his own benefit in the future! ]

Jiang Lai: ...How could it be so dark!

[Yes, it feels like Jiang Lai knows something! The key is that he can still get rid of Kurosawa Akira's hypnosis! And at that time, he also covered Kurosawa Akira's eyes - it seems to be related to the eyes? ]

Jiang Lai: Uh... Actually, it was just my sixth sense that covered it up at that time.

However, I seem to sense something is wrong. Psychological suggestion usually requires a medium, a pocket watch or something else, so is Kurosawa Akira's medium his gray eyes?

[Jiang Lai's atmosphere is reserved! But I love this handsome and powerful mysterious boss! Black side is also fine, to be precise, I have been looking forward to the winery having this kind of real wine! 】

[I felt something was wrong when I was chatting with Hagiwara at dinner. Jiang Lai's remarks were so weird! Typical black side remarks! ]

Jiang Lai: “???” It was clearly a very heartwarming scene at that time!

And I was just complaining about science!

[Yes, and the conversation with Conan later on is suspicious! ]

[The key point is at the end, sisters, that Kanna teacher! Jiang Lai said the famous saying of Matsuda Jinpei! (Highlight the key point.jpg)]

[So cool! I can make that expression again! ]

[At that time, I was as shocked as Kenji Hagiwara! 】

[Awesome! Great coordination with Hagiwara, you are a master! ! I’m cheering like crazy! ]

[Discover the details! Kanna Nobutoshi is voiced by Matsuda, this is the official voice actor joke! ]

[Oh my god, that can't be possible, could it be that Kanna is really Matsuda...? Is Jiang Lai Matsuda's apprentice? ]

【Based on our previous guesses and the official statement of "unclear" about this situation, I think it is 80% certain that this is the case! 】

[That's right, it would be too coincidental. If it's not Matsuda, it must be related to Matsuda.]

Seeing this, Jiang Lai also logged into the account and gently guided: [#大预测家#: I also think that Matsuda Jinpei is Mr. Kanna, he is not dead yet. 】

[Wuwu Matsuda——It would be great if Bai Yueguang Matsuda didn’t die, wuwu! 】

[Uh-huh... But, doesn't this confirm my previous guess that it's related to the winery...? ]

【Blind guess of undercover. 】

【Blind guess: real wine.】

[You two upstairs, have a fight, hah]

[No matter whether Matsuda is famous or not in the new series, as long as he is alive, that's fine! (wiping tears.jpg)]

[I think we need more information to judge the camp. Before Mr. Kanna officially appears, we should keep an eye on the information about Jiang Lai in the comics! ]

[That's right, sisters, let's start our detective work! ]

Keep an eye on me... Well, I'll have to continue to create the illusion of a non-existent master. Turning off the screen of his phone, Jiang Lai thought silently.

——But we should try our best to guide him in a positive way and get rid of the image of drinking! Otherwise, what if Matsuda really goes to the black side after his resurrection?

Although I don’t know why now, I can’t get rid of my identity as the black party... (cat wipes tears.jpg)

The figure that he caught a glimpse of in the corner of his eye interrupted Jiang Lai's thoughts. Jiang Lai turned his head and saw a man with black curly hair floating in.

"You didn't go to bed so early after all. Let's chat," Matsuda Jinpei said, "My affairs today and Kurosawa Akira's affairs."

The author has something to say:

Jiang Lai: Damn it, what's wrong with that? I decided to use my righteous eyes to attack him.jpg
