Chapter 26



In the eyes of people in the scientific world, comics and forums will automatically turn into food illustrations, so Jiang Lai said this to find a reasonable explanation for his behavior of staring at his mobile phone.

The moment he saw Shuichi Akai, Jiang Lai had the idea of ​​opening it and taking a look, in order to gain some useful information from the comics and forums.

The comic has been updated with the events at this ski resort.

At the beginning, there were several close-ups of Conan seeing himself. Later in the conversation, he gave him a subtle reminder. Although he still looked sunny and smiling on the surface, Conan broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

After they left, the self in the comic had a gloomy face and stared at his phone with a thoughtful expression, with the usual shadow lines, like a wolf with its fangs faintly exposed.

Jiang Lai: Uh... I remember I seemed to be checking the weather forecast at that time?

However, when Jiang Lai reminded me of this, I had a premonition of how the filter would be added in the comics, so now I am not surprised anymore.

...I've almost gotten used to it. (Fake smile mask.jpg)

The following is the focus of Jiang Lai’s attention.

Akai Shuichi with long hair appears in the corridor. The comic gives Jiang Lai a shot of him watching silently, and then quickly cuts to the next page.

Downstairs, Conan was about to go to the kitchen to get some vegetables, and Akai Shuichi happened to pass by. Conan, who was originally smiling, seemed to notice some details, and his eyes turned to Akai Shuichi, and a line of words appeared behind him:

"This man..."

And then the comic ends here.

Below are the heated discussions in the three forums.

[Ahh! Jiang Lai, he appears again! It’s the main plot! The main plot! ]

[Jiang Lai's winter clothes are also very good-looking (blushing.jpg)! And Xiao Zhao's clothes are also suitable, the official vision is online! ! When will the winter peripherals be released~]

Jiang Lai: Thank you for praising my good taste. :-D

[Is this the time to focus on clothes? The key is the main plot. Since Jiang Lai has appeared, the main plot must have started again! ]

[Yes, and this is Nagano Prefecture! Will Gao Ming appear? 】

【Hiss, Brother Gao Ming, danger.】

[Oh my god, it's so exciting. What he said to Conan must have some suggestive meaning. So scary!]

[And the look on his face when he turned around and stared at the phone screen was so scary! So what was written on the phone? ]

[Me too... What he said to Conan seemed like compliments but actually contained a hidden meaning. Conan's pupils shrank!]

[Is it because you got too close to the FBI recently? You must be careful, Conan. Don't forget that you are just an elementary school student now! ]

[After talking with Jiang Lai, Conan must have been on guard this time. 】

[Hiss…Looking at it this way, it seems like Jiang Lai is hinting with good intentions (?)? I found that although he often makes Conan sweat, he has never done anything to hurt him or probe him deeply. It feels more like a reminder! ]

Jiang Lai: ...Finally! Someone has discovered my good intentions. Tears welled up in my eyes!!

[Hahaha, that's impossible? Jiang Lai must be happily playing the long game to catch a big fish, or he has been playing from the beginning! An atmospheric player! ]

【Plus one, I feel like this is the mastermind behind this very sick and dark plot (thumbs up.jpg)! "I've already noticed you, but let me see how far you can grow~ famous detective~", it feels like that! 】

[Hiss, hiss, it smells so good! ]

[Family, there is more to come! Did you see it? It’s Akai Shuichi! ]

[Ahh, I never thought that Akai Shuichi's first appearance would be here! And he has long hair. I'm so scared! ]

[I’m scared too, wuwu, I’m super scared of Akai on the black side…! How can the red side beat me like this? The red side is too difficult wuwu! ]

[Don't be afraid!! It could just be undercover Lei, Akai Cat who hasn't revealed his identity! ]

[Am I the only one who wants to say that Mingmei's death was tragic? Although we have discussed this before...but since Akai doesn't care whether the wine is real or fake, and he is in your organization anyway, why did you kill Mingmei? Is it just to make Ai defect? ​​]

[I am dying of laughter at this reason. 】

[Let's discuss this rationally. It's possible that Akemi's death was due to her knowing something she shouldn't have known. Killing people to silence them is in line with the organization's style.]

[It’s so miserable… I’m crying so hard. 】

[In fact, maybe Akemi just faked her death. Akemi knew something, and the organization wanted to silence her, and then Akai (red?) helped her fake her death, but Ai didn't know and thought her sister was really dead. ]

[It seems possible...? Anyway, the official has not yet stamped it. 】

[Wuwu, I hope everyone doesn’t die! ]

[Come to think of it, Akai and Jiang Lai probably don't know each other. They were the only two people in the corridor who didn't say hello. So the previous guess that Akai and Jiang Lai were related should be wrong. ]

[Look carefully, sister! There is a small shot of Jiang Lai staring in the comic! It means Jiang Lai knows Akai! ]

[Then why doesn't Akai recognize Jiang Lai anymore? 】

[If we continue with the previous story about brainwashing and amnesia, it is possible that Akai's memory was unstable during that period, so it is normal for him to forget. ]

[One more thing! If Jiang Lai doesn't want him to remember, he can also let him forget. After all, he has the card of Kurosawa Akira in his hand! ]

[Ah... Xiao Zhao's ability, hmm, I wonder if it can even change memories...]

Jiang Lai was slightly stunned when he saw this.

Actually, he hasn't had a chance to talk to his second personality since the cruise, and still knows very little about that personality.

Modifying memories or something like that would be way beyond the limit, right? At best it would only have a vague effect.

[It's unlikely to completely modify it. That ability shouldn't be too outrageous. After all, it still has to be limited to the scientific world. Otherwise, all the red sides would have been changed to black. But if it's applied to memory... maybe there will still be a certain impact? ]

[I have a bold guess. Maybe Jiang Lai arranged for Akai to come here this time, specifically for observation or testing or something like that! Otherwise, it would be too coincidental for the two of them to appear here at the same time! ]

Jiang Lai: I think it's a coincidence, I can't help it, I don't want to. _(:з)∠)_

[If Akai is really the black side, and has been brainwashed into being the black side, this is probably the case...]

[Ahh, is this the mastermind behind this? Secretly observing my finished product, how scary! 】

[“Let me see if the little prey I tamed before is still loyal~”]

[Yes, upstairs! That’s the smell! Delighted peepers! ]

Jiang Lai (madly clapping.jpg): Stop it now...!! My attributes are getting weirder and weirder!

Besides, Akai hasn't actually chosen a camp yet, so don't arrange his plot so clearly in advance!

[At the end! Conan finally met Akai (sort of a meeting, just passing by)! The first encounter in the new series of Big and Small Silver Bullet——]

[Well, to be honest, Conan and Akai are so tall that they probably can't touch each other. ]

[Hahaha, stop it upstairs! This is just an idiom, not a real passing by! ]

[However, judging from Conan's psychological fluctuations, he should have realized that Akai Shuichi is not an ordinary person. I just don't know whether his first instinct was to be the red side or the black side. 】

[Uh, Conan's first instinct is that it's a winery, right? ]

[The sequel to the Wuwu squat, this time it's really exciting! 】

[Coming soon, Blizzard Manor plus red and black collision plus camp exploration, grand scene!! ]

Jiang Lai: "..." Thank you for the invitation, I don't want a big scene. :-D

Jiang Lai followed the laws of science and guessed that a snowstorm and a crime would occur one after another. However, he did not expect that a murder would come before the snowstorm.

The sharp shouts from downstairs penetrated the partition and suddenly woke Jiang Lai, who was resting in the room on the second floor. He was a little surprised, but he still quickly rushed to the scene of the accident downstairs.

A crowd of people gathered at the kitchen door. The cleaner who had just screamed was squatting on the ground crying, and someone was comforting her softly.

In front of him was a half-fat man wearing an apron, with food seemingly stuffed in his mouth and a pair of scissors inserted from behind his neck as the murder weapon.

The famous detective has of course used the advantage of his compact stature to flexibly squeeze to the front and collect details and clues from the best observation position.

At the same time, the hotel manager hurried over. He first looked at Maori Kogoro in surprise, saying that he did not expect the famous detective to be here, and then leaned over to ask the cleaner questions about the scene.

The cleaner was still a little excited, her arms trembling, and she timidly pointed at the long-haired man in a knitted hat in front of her, and said with a trembling voice: "Before I came...he was standing here."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Akai Shuichi, with expressions of fear, curiosity, or indignation.

However, Akai Shuichi himself was very calm, his face was like a lake on a high mountain, without a single ripple.

Uncle Maori immediately looked at him and said, "Hey, you look suspicious, don't you? Why did you appear in there by chance? And you didn't react at all when you saw the corpse?"

After a series of questions were raised, Akai Shuichi simply replied, "What a coincidence? I just happened to come to get some fruit. There's no need to overreact."

...Indeed. Jiang Lai twitched his lips. For Akai Shuichi, whether he was on the red side or the black side, such a murder scene was just a commonplace scene, not worth being surprised or scared of.

"Your calm attitude is definitely not the result of someone discovering a murder scene by accident..." the hotel manager couldn't help but say, "And as a suspect at the scene, you should at least explain yourself!"

"You're still the murderer. There's nothing more to say!"

Shuichi Akai still had that calm expression, and facing the hotel manager's aggressive attitude, he just narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The murderer should not be this gentleman," Jiang Lai, who was also in the front position, said, "The scissors went through diagonally from the bottom. The murderer should be shorter than the deceased, otherwise the action would be very awkward."

"And this gentleman obviously looked much taller than the deceased."

In this situation, Jiang Lai decided to speak a few words. His eyes naturally focused on Akai for a moment, and then quickly looked away.

"Yes, that's right!" Conan waved his arms and said, "And it's strange, this uncle's mouth is full of food. Was he stabbed while he was enjoying a feast without any precautions? Did the murderer know the deceased?"

This led everyone's thoughts to another place, but Maori Kogoro took the lead and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, let's notify the police first."

"Okay, okay," the hotel manager took out his phone, "I'll call the police right away."

"They've been notified." Shuichi Akai put his phone back into his pocket and walked out of the kitchen with the things in his hand.

"Huh? Have you called the police?" Kogoro Mouri was a little surprised.

"Hey, wait a minute, you guy, don't go yet--" The hotel manager instinctively raised his hand to grab Akai Shuichi, but when he saw the other party's cold dark green glance, he stopped his arm abruptly!

So scary!!

The hotel manager felt like he was being stared at by a wild beast and didn't dare to move at all!

“…”

The hotel manager finally came out of his daze when Akai Shuichi walked away. His back was wet with sweat, and the dark wind blew, and the chilly feeling penetrated from the outside to the inside, making him shiver.

Conan naturally noticed the scene here. He looked at Shuichi Akai's departing back, his eyes reflecting light slightly, and fell into a state of contemplation.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was beside Jiang Lai. He nodded and said, "If it was really done by Lai Yi's gang, it wouldn't be so obvious... him."

It was a sigh that was stuck in the middle of the sentence, and Jiang Lai couldn't help but glance at Zhu Fu Jingguang, signaling him to finish his sentence and not to be half-hearted, which would be very uncomfortable...

"As for Lei, he is very good at pretending to be someone on the spot," Zhu Fu Jingguang recalled. "When we worked together before, he was the one who did most of the on-site cleanup."

Huh? Are you really good at pretending on the spot? Jiang Lai suddenly thought of another place.
