Matsuda Jinpei pressed all the buttons steadily and accurately, his expression cold and his words full of sarcasm. He did not stay there any longer, but turned around and left without any regrets, his movements were elegant.

Jiang Lai and Hagihara Kenji were at the bottom of the fighting arena. As the iron gates around them opened, things like mechanical clowns and mechanical dolphins slid out. They lay quietly on the ground, as if they were not opened. Then all the iron gates closed again, returning to their original closed state.

But Jiang Lai was not particularly worried because he knew that it was Yu Komiyayama who was in charge of this.

The test of Canadian whisky is actually mainly to see its attitude, to see whether it will really treat its former friends and students cruelly and coldly in the end.

Therefore, when Matsuda Jinpei made this decision without hesitation, he passed the test. After the other party passed the test, there was no need to cause any actual harm to Hagiwara Kenji and Jiang Lai - after all, Matsuda Jinpei had already left the scene.

Jiang Lai believes that Yu Komiyayama will not harm them...at least not for the time being.

Although he didn't know what Komiyama Yuu was trying to do, at that time, the sharp perverted perception system (?) of Mamoru and Era was able to judge the change in Komiyama Yuu's state, and probably knew that the other party had other thoughts about him. In short, he was also targeting him.

And a pervert will not give up his prey until he achieves his goal.

Now both of Yuu Komiyayama's prey are here, and both are prey that have not yet achieved their goal, so the mechanism here is probably not fatal.

When I get my phone back, I'll see what kind of new pervert Komiyayama Yuu is. Jiang Lai complained in his heart. So am I some kind of weird pervert cat mint? There's another one!

But Jiang Lai has evolved now. He is not afraid at all and even thinks that he can take advantage of it and turn bad things into good things.

A huge water pipe suddenly extended from the wall above the arena, and water was released into it. The cold water filled the space very quickly, and in an instant it reached my ankles.

Hagiwara Kenji uncuffed Jiang Lai and looked at him intently: "Can you swim, Jiang Lai?"

"...Yes." The black-haired young man looked a little dazed, probably because he had not yet recovered from being treated so rudely and coldly by his teacher. He just answered Hagiwara Kenji's question subconsciously.

Hagiwara Kenji stepped forward and patted Jiang Lai on the shoulder to comfort him. He couldn't tell him that it was all an act, because knowing the truth would mean danger, and it might bring danger to both Xiao Zhenping and Xiao Jiang Lai.

Therefore, he could only pat the other person on the shoulder and give him silent encouragement and warmth.

The black-haired young man seemed to recover quickly. He exhaled and regained his spirit: "I'm fine." He wiped his face and said, "I'm full of fighting spirit now." All the timidity on his face was gone, and his eyes became firm.

Hagiwara Kenji: ...turning grief and anger into motivation?

Jiang Lai looked at where the mechanical clown and dolphin were lying: "Won't these things get wet?"

"It's probably waterproof, and it needs water to be activated." Hagihara Kenji was already alert at this point. Although those creatures looked like small clowns and dolphins instead of sharks, who knows if they might have other functions.

As the cold water rose rapidly, it had spread to the calves. The little ugly fish was fully activated and was rushing towards Jiang Lai and the others. Although it was small, it was extremely powerful and hurt them. Fortunately, the sensing seemed to have a distance, and the movement mechanism of the little ugly fish would only hit from one direction. As long as they left its sensing range, they would not be attacked.

The mechanical dolphin also sensed the presence of water, but it was larger than the clown fish. At this time, the progress bar was still loading little by little, and its tail fin began to flutter.

"It really can be activated by water!" Jiang Lai rubbed his lower back that had just been hit, let out a hissing sound, then raised his hand and naturally untied the compression belt.

When Hagiwara Kenji caught a glimpse of Jiang Lai's actions, he was startled: "Little Jiang Lai, you...!"

"It's okay, I'm wearing loose pants." Jiang Lai tilted his head to explain, then pulled out his belt.

Hagiwara Kenji choked and said, "…Why are you unbuckling your belt?"

"Well, because I feel like I'll need it later. This is actually a retractable belt that Detective Conan provided to me." Jiang Lai smiled and said simply, "It's a very magical little prop. Professor Agasa gave it to the children for self-defense."

Conan used a retractable sling before, but it broke after a case, so the professor took it to be repaired. Because it was sometimes inconvenient to remove the sling, Professor Agasa upgraded it to a structure that can be used as a shoulder strap or combined into a belt, so that Conan can choose the equipment form according to the situation.

Hagiwara Kenji: “?”

He glanced at the belt in Jiang Lai's hand, and a question arose in his mind: A small prop for self-defense?

This thing is controlled by two buttons to extend and retract, and can reach up to 100 meters in length. It is extremely durable and can even tow cars and giant display screens. Jiang Lai actually used it once during the fire. Before he got it this time, Conan explained it again, so he knew how to use it.

Jiang Lai first pressed the extension button and asked Hagiwara Kenji to help him quickly stretch it. Then he took out the iron hook he had removed in the bathroom from his pocket, cut the rope from the ladder next to him with a knife, and then pulled out the thread and wound it up skillfully.

Hagiwara Kenji was slightly surprised. After Jiang Lai performed a series of operations smoothly and naturally, he paused and said, "Your movements are very skillful, Jiang Lai."

"Well... Actually, my former teacher Shen Na also taught me some assembly knowledge." Jiang Lai replied in a low voice, "I also train myself normally."

Is that so? Hagiwara Kenji thought. So Jinpei really cares about his student. He is so confident that he knows that he can find a way out of this difficult situation.

"Okay, the assembly is complete." Jiang Lai looked at the homemade object with satisfaction and touched his chin, "Now we are still missing a heavy object, something like a stone..."

When Hagiwara Kenji saw what Jiang Lai had finished, he understood what he meant: "Do you want us to throw one end of this up and use this combined hook to hook it to the railing?"

"Yes," Jiang Lai said with a smile, "This button part is at the bottom, and then we press the retraction button to be taken up."

"Won't this belt break?"

"No, this can lift a car, it's just a human, no problem."

Hagiwara Kenji: ...So this is really a small tool that children use for self-defense?

Giving such an item to a child is really too dangerous! As a policeman, Kenji Hagiwara frowned and thought about it. I will go back and talk to Dr. Agasa and Conan, and tell them not to let Conan carry such an item, otherwise the child will always run to dangerous places.

Conan: Throw a retractable belt at him and give him a lesson from the police?

At this time, the cold water has spread above the knees, and most of the mechanical dolphin can move. The amplitude of its tail swings becomes larger and larger, and it seems that it will be able to swim freely in this water area soon.

"A heavy object needs to be tied to the front end, otherwise it's too light to be thrown up... In fact, it would be nice if the little ugly fish could be tied up, but unfortunately it's too sensitive after being fully activated, and it's hard to catch it, and it hurts when it hits people." Jiang Lai complained, and then his eyes focused on the mechanical dolphin. After thinking for a moment, he trotted forward.

The mechanical dolphin was still floundering on the ground, becoming more and more active. It looked like it would activate when the water level got higher. Jiang Lai picked up the mechanical dolphin on the ground and carried it out of the water: "...It's a bit heavy!"

"I'll do it." Hagiwara Kenji took over the mechanical dolphin from Jiang Lai. As a policeman, his physical training level was higher than Jiang Lai. At this time, he picked up the mechanical dolphin and said, "This way, it will not come into contact with water. Although it can prevent it from being activated temporarily, but if the water level rises above us later, there will be no way to stop it."

"It's okay, we'll be able to go up soon." Jiang Lai's eyes were serious. He knocked on the mechanical dolphin's tail fin, touched its dorsal fin, and took out a thin wire from his sleeve.

Kenji Hagiwara raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is there wire hidden in the cuffs? You seem to be fully equipped." This doesn't seem like something an ordinary person should do.

Jiang Lai blinked his eyes, his expression slightly downcast again: "…It was Teacher Shen Na who told me to carry thin wire and a knife with me when I go out. He would check me whenever he saw me, so I developed this habit."

"Although Mr. Kanna's attitude was very casual before, I knew he was actually a very good person. It's just that I didn't expect it now..." The black-haired young man pursed his lips and lowered his warm brown eyes.

"It's okay, Eira-chan!" Hagiwara Kenji comforted him. Although he couldn't tell the truth that Jinpei was actually acting to protect them, he could say something encouraging with hope, "Maybe there will be a turn for the better in the future."

"Well, so I'm going to turn my grief into strength!" Jiang Lai raised his eyes, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and quickly used wire to dismantle the dorsal fin of the mechanical dolphin, assisted by a knife and knocking, and finally broke it off with great force!

Hagiwara Kenji: “…” It seems the transformation effect is very obvious.

After the dorsal fin was removed, the back of the mechanical dolphin was still smooth except for a few exposed chain screws. Jiang Lai thought to himself: Sure enough, this dorsal fin is just a decoration, because it would be inconvenient and unnecessary to bury wires in this place.

The dorsal fin, which was a decorative item, was not firmly connected to the main body, so Jiang Lai was able to break it off smoothly. He tied it to the retractable belt and handed it to Hagiwara Kenji: "You throw it on, I'll hold the dolphin."

The water level had risen to his thighs. While holding the mechanical dolphin, Jiang Laiminrui noticed that the mechanical croaker was coming again!

Jiang Lai: “!”

When the little clown fish hit him, Jiang Lai put down the mechanical dolphin in his hand without hesitation to block the impact of the little clown fish, and then pulled it out of the water before the mechanical dolphin was activated, repeating this action.

So, the process became: the ugly fish hits - Jiang Lai releases the dolphin - the ugly fish hits the mechanical dolphin - the half-activated mechanical dolphin twists - the ugly fish is thrown away - Jiang Lai pulls out the dolphin - the ugly fish hits - Jiang Lai releases the dolphin...

Infinite loop.

Therefore, Kenji Hagihara, who was casting a hook not far away, heard the orderly sound of "ding-dong-dong" from behind, accompanied by the "bang-bang-bang" sound of water, like a beautiful piece of music (bushi).

Hagiwara Kenji: “?”

Jiang Lai: I’m so tired!

He quickly threw a section of the extended telescopic belt behind the railing, and the mechanical dolphin's tail fin and the overlapping metal hooks were firmly stuck to the railing. Hagiwara Kenji turned around and called Jiang Lai: "It's okay, little Jiang Lai, you go first!"

"It's okay, we can walk together. This retractable belt has a strong load-bearing capacity." Jiang Lai continued to repeat the action to block the little ugly fish, while moving towards Hagiwara Kenji, "Wrap one end around yourself, and then hold me!"

Because it takes time to retract and extend the retractable belt, and there are two obstacles below, the mechanical clown and the mechanical dolphin. At this time, the rising water level spreads to the chest. If only one person is left, it will be difficult to cope with it.

Kenji Hagiwara also analyzed the situation, so he no longer hesitated and quickly and smoothly wrapped one end of the stretch belt around himself.

"Goodbye!" Jiang Lai finally hit the little ugly fish hard with the mechanical dolphin, threw the mechanical dolphin into the water, then reached out to grab the belt and pressed the retraction button.

As the belt was retracted upwards, Hagiwara Kenji reached out and hugged Jiang Lai to prevent him from falling - he could see that Jiang Lai's arms were a little weak from the action of holding the mechanical dolphin just now.

The two men successfully rose from the water and reached the railing before the mechanical tail fin and hook were deformed by the weight!

"Huh, I'm finally out!" Jiang Lai let out a breath when he reached the flat ground above, untied and put away the retractable belt.

"Well done, Xiao Jianglai." Hagihara Kenji twisted his clothes and smiled, "Thanks to your little props, there are still assemblies."

"To be more precise, it means good cooperation." Jiang Lai said with a frown.

The two looked at each other and smiled, sweeping away the gloomy scene just now.

A familiar voice called out from the front: "Senior! Jiang Sang!"

The young man with light beige hair ran out of the door, followed by familiar people like Maori Kogoro, Maori Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, etc. Jiang Lai was a little surprised: "Huh? You guys are out?"

According to the broadcast, they should have been eliminated and put in a small dark room.

"I don't know why the small dark room was opened. Maybe it's because you collected all the cards?" Maori Kogoro touched his chin, "I just happened to pass by here and came over when I heard the noise - I didn't expect to meet you. Did you collect all the cards? You've worked so hard."

"No." Jiang Lai shook his head, "Hagiwara and I are out."

"Hmm?" Maori Kogoro was a little surprised, "Who else is still standing?"

"Is it that silent strange man, Mr. Takahashi?" Suzuki Sonoko recalled.

"No." Jiang Lai immediately refused, then lowered his head, "He..."

"He left on his own," Hagiwara Kenji continued with this simple answer.

"Ah?" Suzuki Sonoko didn't react, but looking at the expressions of the two people in front of her, she could vaguely guess that something unpleasant might have happened, so she didn't bring it up again.

Komiyayama Yuu's worried expression did not change, but the corners of his mouth twitched very slightly.

"Then who's left?" asked the red-haired woman Murakami Xinzhi.

"And... Conan?" Mao Lilan hesitated, "I didn't see him."

"Conan-kun was with me before. When I was eliminated, he was still there." Komiyama Yu said, "Maybe he had collected all the cards. At that time, we had already found the room to get the cards."

"Is that little boy so powerful?" Murakami Xinzhi said in surprise.

Jiang Lai: After all, this is Detective Conan! (Thumbs up)

He looked up at the sky and thought. When Conan collected all the cards and put the last one on, he was probably fighting against the mechanical clown?

Not bad, and very spirited (?)

"Then let's go to the lobby and see the actual situation." Hagiwara Kenji said, and then everyone went downstairs together.

At this time, Jiang Lai and Hagiwara Kenji's clothes were soaked, and water was dripping slowly. Komiyayama Yuu walked over and asked concernedly: "Senior, are you okay? Are you cold? Find something to wipe yourself off later."

"It's okay, my clothes are just wet." Hagiwara Kenji tilted his head slightly, his semi-long hair falling down as he moved, and smiled, "I'm not cold."

Jiang Lai glanced at him from the side and thought to himself: You really are always developing strategies, Komiya-kun.

He looked away, but he caught a glimpse of the young man with light beige hair walking up to him. In Jiang Lai's slightly surprised eyes, Komiyayama leisurely handed over his coat: "Then Jiang Sang should put on this. Although you said you are not cold, you are a policeman after all. I think Jiang Sang should be cold."

He raised a W-shaped cat smile on his face, blinked his purple eyes gently as he looked at Jiang Lai and said considerately.

Jiang Lai: “……?”

The author has something to say: Jiang Lai: Yes, everything was taught by Teacher Kanna (nods with certainty)

Hagiwara Kenji: ...He taught you a lot (sigh)

Welcome to listen to the pure music "Jiang Lai, the little ugly fish and the mechanical dolphin"

Yu Komiyama: The senior only cares about whether he is cold or not, unlike me. I know Jiang Sang does not have the physique to be a police officer, so I will go out of my way to care about Jiang Sang.

Jiang Lai: ???

Jiang Lai: Wait, the target of the strategy is wrong!
