Just as Jiang Lai was standing there in a daze, they were already approaching.
Mao Lilan, who was studying at Teitan High School, naturally knew Jiang Lai, who taught Chinese, and she greeted him enthusiastically: "Ah, it's Teacher Jiang, what a coincidence!"
“…Haha, what a coincidence.” No matter what he was thinking, Jiang Lai still showed a perfect smile on the surface. He greeted her warmly, “I didn’t expect to meet you here, but Nagano Prefecture is indeed a good place.”
When Conan saw Jiang Lai, his body paused slightly, but after curling his fingers, he still walked forward, raised his head, and asked like a child: "Brother Jiang Lai! Are you here to play too? Where is Kurosawa-kun?" His tone was cheerful and childish.
"Yes, he and little Natsume are here too." Jiang Lai bent down and said in a friendly manner, like an ordinary older brother next door, "Do you want to play with him? I'll tell him when he comes back, and you can play together tomorrow."
The premise is that nothing will happen until tomorrow. Jiang Lai silently complained in his heart and added.
"Ha, haha, okay."
"I'm very happy to know that you two have a good relationship." Jiang Lai straightened up and continued with a smile, "You two must be good friends in school, I often hear Xiao Zhao mention you."
Conan laughed dryly: "Ah...hahahaha."
"He said you are very smart, your IQ is higher than your peers, and you will cooperate with adults in dangerous situations. Many adults admire and pay attention to you."
[Attention] The pronunciation is emphasized, which is actually a subtle reminder. Conan and the FBI were too obvious a few days ago, and it was easy for the organization to find out.
After all, the combination of children and the FBI is quite unique.
Because of the official statement that "the red team may not necessarily defeat the black team", Jiang Lai is not sure whether Conan can still be safe under the protection of the world's will, so he secretly reminds him to be low-key and cautious recently.
Conan's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself. He laughed dryly, "Really? Hahaha, actually not really. I probably just read a lot of detective novels, so I have a lot of ideas."
Jiang Lai didn't intend to ask any further questions. After giving the reminder, he politely greeted Maori a few more words. After saying goodbye, he watched Conan and his companions go to the front desk to handle the formalities.
Jiang Lai smiled and waved, then turned around and his expression became calm. He opened his cell phone in silence with a serious expression.
Zhu Fu Jingguang noticed Jiang Lai's expression and asked, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"
"I'm checking the weather forecast for the next few days." Jiang Lai looked at the symbols of light snow and cloudy sky and paused for a second, "But it doesn't look very accurate."
According to the laws of science, there should be a heavy snowstorm in this situation!
The blizzard has closed off roads, isolated hotels, and there is a high possibility of power outages. Jiang Lai thought to himself. He would charge his phone immediately.
But now, I guess I don't have to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to ambush Gao Ming. Jiang Lai sighed in his heart.
...He will probably come here in person soon. _(:з)∠)_
After returning to the house, Jiang Lai first charged his mobile phone, and then found a flashlight, a power bank, etc., making everything ready.
After opening the hotel emergency escape manual in the house and reading it carefully, Jiang Lai planned to go out and check out the situation and see if there were any potential safety hazards in the hotel. He could solve them and perhaps avoid a tragedy.
"Jiang Lai, you are acting like you are dealing with a major disaster." Zhu Fu Jingguang was standing by and said with a smile, "Are you so cautious?"
The black-haired young man couldn't explain the scientific law, so he could only answer vaguely: "Officer Hagiwara once said that life is full of surprises."
Jiang Lai's room is on the second floor, it's a spacious three-person room. Conan and his friends' room is on the first floor, Jiang Lai just saw them, after finishing the formalities, carrying their luggage and walking into the room on the first floor near the stairs.
At this moment, he was walking along the corridor, his eyes swept over the fire alarm device, confirmed that it was probably normal, and prepared to go downstairs to check again.
“Squeak—”
The door in front opened inward, and a man walked out slowly, suddenly appearing in Jiang Lai's sight.
——He had long, smooth black hair and wore a knitted hat. He had a stern aura about him, and his dark green eyes with his signature eyeliner flashed by. He turned and walked towards the staircase.
Jiang Lai suddenly stopped moving: "!!"
Is it Akai Shuichi?! And he has long hair!
His pupils suddenly contracted and his breathing inevitably quickened for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his state of mind and quickly moved his eyes away from Akai Shuichi to avoid being noticed by the other party.
The soul body of Morofu Jingguang also sternly reminded him in his ear: "Look away, don't stare at him!"
This type of person is particularly sensitive to the vision and emotions of the people around them.
Jiang Lai couldn't help but slow down his pace, his whole body tense, like a stretched string. It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of Akai Shuichi's slender figure disappearing around the corner of the stairs that he exhaled again and half relaxed.
“…”
Jiang Lai and Zhufu Jingguang both fell into a brief silence.
I really didn't expect to run into him here... This relaxing vacation is totally ruined.
Jiang Lai's mood at this time was very complicated.
The relatively close contact with Akai Shuichi is obviously more conducive to judging his camp. But at the same time, the risk factor also soars sharply, especially if the opponent is the black side Lei.
Black is less cautious than Red, and Lei will be more ruthless and cautious than Akai Shuichi.
Moreover, I can bring Kurosawa Akira with me this time. He will surely be able to recognize who my face resembles... plus there are also the ambush Gaoming who may come here.
Jiang Lai felt a headache.
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked serious and solemn. He approached Jiang Lai and whispered, "Be careful not to come into contact with him or show any unnecessary expressions. I'll go to his room to see what's going on."
The convenience of the soul body is fully demonstrated at this moment. The translucent Morobushi Keimitsu can easily pass through the wall and reach Akai Shuichi's room to investigate without being discovered.
Although you can't actually look for objects, you can still get a lot of information by taking a close look.
Jiang Lai nodded to show that he understood. After pausing for a few seconds, he started walking downstairs again. However, his mood this time was completely different from before.
There were no problems with the fire alarm and other safety facilities on the first floor. Jiang Lai took a general look around, noted down the locations of several emergency exits and utility rooms, and began to think about other things.
Shuichi Akai has long hair at this moment, and it seems more likely that he is in a state of leyi. However, this state of leyi is only on the surface, and it is hard to say whether he is a real member of the organization or a fake undercover.
Jiang Lai's mind was filled with thoughts.
Although Morobushi Kagemitsu said during the conversation that night that he had a feeling that the other party was an enemy, but... for the Japanese police, the FBI roaming around in the country is actually an enemy in a sense.
So I still can’t tell the camps at all!
It's just a complete fog. Damn it.
But no matter which camp it is, appearing in this place means that they came with a mission. Jiang Lai didn't think that the other party would come here for a skiing trip.
In this small to medium-sized hotel or nearby, is his mission target or handover location.
Combined with the laws of the scientific world, it will probably evolve into a Blizzard Manor mode with a black shadow. Jiang Lai's eyes were half-mooned. It's better not to provoke him for now.
Of course, there is also the possibility that Shuichi Akai will only show up and leave before the Blizzard Resort mode is launched.
I hope it's the latter. Jiang Lai thought silently in his heart. He came here just to open up the resurrection line of Shimokage Kagemitsu, but he didn't expect to explore the line of Akai Shuichi's camp at the same time!
When they returned to the room, Zhu Fu Jing Guang was already waiting there. The next moment he looked at Jiang Lai, he said, "Lei's room is very clean, there are no other weapons."
"Is that so..."
No other weapons means that this time Shuichi Akai did not bring any spare guns and ammunition, nor did he carry his sniper rifle, which he was good at, in a disguised musical instrument package. He also did not bring any dangerous items with a high impact, such as explosives.
This made Jiang Lai relax a little.
"He probably only brought a gun with him," Zhu Fujingguang continued, "probably to solve the mission target directly, or simply this time it has nothing to do with assassination, and he just came to conduct a transaction and take over the mission."
"So he should move quickly, don't worry." Zhu Fu Jingguang's blue-gray eyes were filled with relief. "He will leave here soon and won't stay here for too long."
"That's good." Jiang Lai let out a breath, feeling much brighter.
——I hope he leaves soon.
In this way, I can only interact with Morobushi Takaaki at that time, without worrying about Akai Shuichi next to me, and hint at something to open Morobushi Kagemitsu's resurrection line. =v=
"Then, I'll ask Jingguang to keep an eye on Akai Shuichi's whereabouts. During the gap between the two, I'll take Kurosawa Akira back to the room." Jiang Lai blinked and said, "Let's have dinner in the house tonight."
A unique feature of this small to medium-sized hotel is that each room has a fully equipped kitchen, and you can go downstairs to get vegetables, meat, eggs and other ingredients to cook your own meals.
Of course, if you don’t want to cook, there is still a cafeteria where you can eat.
"Okay, let's cook and eat inside." Zhu Fujingguang nodded, "Indeed, it's safer not to meet each other as much as possible."
"OK~ Then before dinner starts, I'll take a look at the food catalog and browse the dishes." Jiang Lai smiled, made a gesture, and turned on his mobile phone.
His eyes fell on the phone, and the warm brown color sank slightly, with a calm and inquiring attitude.
——Of course he didn’t go there to look at the dishes.
