After Jiang Lai asked that question, Akai Shuichi turned his head slightly, his expression looking uncertain in the dim light.

“…”

Jiang Lai didn't speak first, but just stood up straight, with his usual smile on his face, staring at the other person with his warm brown eyes.

Kurosawa Akira's intuition, like that of a small animal, seemed to be able to vaguely sense the danger surging under the peaceful surface. He took a step diagonally forward, trying to block Jiang Lai. His raised eyes were also filled with a vigilant look.

However, Akai Shuichi only glanced at the silver-haired boy without any unnecessary movements. He said in a calm tone: "...I trust you very much."

Jiang Lai: “?”

Why are you suddenly saying this?

Jiang Lai blinked, then smiled and replied: "Yes, after all, he is my child - he is a good boy."

"Is that so?" It was still a meaningless sentence.

"..." Jiang Lai maintained a smile on his face and asked again, "Sir, do you have anything else to say? We plan to rest early." It was a command to leave.

"It's nothing." Shuichi Akai nodded and took his eyes off Kurosawa Akira.

"Oh, okay." Jiang Lai waved politely, "Then goodbye sir."

After watching Akai Shuichi leave, Jiang Lai closed the door without hesitation and locked it.

Only then did he put down the smile he had been maintaining on his face, rubbed his stiff cheeks, and exhaled the foul air in his chest.

——Wow, when I was fighting one-on-one with Akai Shuichi just now, although I looked calm on the surface, I was actually sweating coldly on my back!

Because I don't know what the other party is going to do, I have to be very careful and tense. At the same time, I have to be careful not to show any timidity or weakness, and create an attitude of a boss who seems to know nothing but also seems to be able to handle the situation with ease.

...It's really not easy. Jiang Lai's eyes were half-mooned. Maybe if I continue to hone my acting skills, I can really consider a career in the entertainment industry.

Kurosawa Akira came over and asked: "Is the big brother just now a bad guy?"

Primary school students do not have a broad vocabulary and the only word they know how to use is “bad person” to describe someone who makes them feel uncomfortable.

"Ah... it's hard to say." Jiang Lai touched his chin, "Anyway, stay away from him. I hope I won't meet him again in the future."

"Okay." Kurosawa Akira blinked his eyes, "Brother Jiang Lai, be careful too, stay away from him."

"Of course." Jiang Lai nodded deeply.

Downstairs, after Jiang Lai privately pointed out who the suspected murderer was, Conan, who had collected evidence, quickly reported the other party through reasoning, and the murderer was caught on the spot by the police on the scene. This was the news that Morobushi Jingguang told him after he floated up.

The snowstorm did not last long. After completing its mission of closing the hotel (?), the heavy snow stopped the next morning. The Metropolitan Police Department and the road cleaning department cleaned up quickly, and the hidden danger of snow accumulation was eliminated. The ambush was well-planned, and they planned to take the murderer back to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Before leaving, during breakfast, Zhu Fu Gaoming met Jiang Lai in the corridor again.

Seeing Zhu Fu Gao Ming from a distance, Jiang Lai greeted him warmly. The man with a mustache politely said "Good morning", then paused for a second and said, "Thank you for the rice balls, they are delicious."

"Eh?" Jiang Lai smiled, "Thank you for the compliment. Actually, my cooking has not yet reached the level of my former neighbor. After all, he is the creator and his food tastes the most delicious!"

"..." Zhu Fu Gaoming paused slightly, his expression calm and natural, "Really?"

But he didn't ask any unnecessary questions.

Jiang Lai tilted his head and said half-jokingly, "If I have the chance to run into my former neighbor again next time, I'll ask you guys to meet him. I'll let you taste his cooking skills for yourself, haha."

Zhu Fu Gao Ming smiled slightly, neither refusing nor agreeing, but simply said: "If it is destined to happen, it will happen. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it. Just go with the flow."

He looked at Jiang Lai with his blue-gray raised eyes and nodded, "But thank you very much."

Jiang Lai scratched the back of his head and said, "Oh, you're welcome."

Jiang Lai was somewhat surprised by Zhufu Gaoming's calm and composed attitude, but Zhufu Jingguang, who was floating beside him, did not look surprised at all.

He said to Jiang Lai: "My brother also guessed that I was an undercover agent before. Whether I sacrificed myself or not, he would not reveal too much or show anything."

"…even with the news that you might be alive?"

"Even so." Morobushi Jingguang nodded and smiled gently, "Because he knows my persistence. Maybe there is also some thought in it that 'life is short and mortal'."

"Ah..." Jiang Lai looked up at the sky, "In that case, maybe the script needs to be adjusted a little." His expression paused, and he thought to himself: Maybe I have to start again from Jiang Gu.

In the following days when the weather improved, Jiang Lai kept his promise and went skiing with Kurosawa Akira and little Natsume. They had a great time. During the break, the three of them took a great selfie together and agreed to develop it when they got home.

They sat comfortably on the high-speed bus on the way back, with the two children leaning against each other. Children always fall asleep easily, and they soon fell asleep during the slightly bumpy ride.

Jiang Lai was also feeling a little sleepy, but not that sleepy, so he opened his phone and checked the latest updates.

Last time, the story was about the first murder. At this moment, the hotel incident has come to an end in the comic.

Jiang Lai looked at the flashlight shining from below on himself in the comic. That shot looked like a horror movie. He twitched his lips. No wonder Conan was startled at that time... It really seemed like the underworld.

The following is a scene where he tells Conan with a smile. When mentioning metaphysics, an inner dialogue box emerges behind Conan's half-moon eyes: [This is too fake... This guy, even his lies are insincere].

Conan was so obsessed with the case that he didn't realize something was wrong until Jiang Lai left!

Jiang Lai looked at the special effects of lightning flashing across Conan's background in the comics and smacked his lips softly.

While Jiang Lai and Conan are talking, the story also describes a scene where Shuichi Akai goes upstairs to ask Kurosawa Akira and others to borrow a flashlight.

Jiang Lai said: Good man, what a coincidence, you must have gone there just because you heard me leaving!

The middle part was not expanded, only the camera flashed from the crime scene to the upstairs, and at the end Akai said inexplicably "I trust you very much". In addition, he appeared again with a faint smile.

Jiang Lai: Here I come, the boss's smiling aura.jpg

Check out the forum. Jiang Lai casually clicked on the forum below.

[Ahhh, Jiang Lai showed up in the middle of the night and almost scared me to death!!]

[Although I often use flashlights to play like that... But this is in a situation where there is a blizzard outside, a power outage inside, and a murder case. How dare you do that, Jiang Lai? Wow! ]

[Damn, Conan still has a strong mental quality, he doesn't scream like a whistle in the fog. ]

[The adjectives you used above are so magical hahaha]

[What’s even more terrifying than Jiang Lai’s expression is his subsequent words, which directly point out the murderer! ]

[In Conan, those who can reason and find the murderer, and those who like to scare little Conan are not bad people. Jiang Lai Hongfang's evidence is added! ]

[Maybe it’s just the bad taste of Black Label~]

[…So strong! I didn’t realize Jiang Lai also has superb reasoning ability? ]

Jiang Lai was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up slightly. He left a message on his account: [#大预测家#: Plus one, he was able to find the murderer in such a short time and with so few clues. I think Jiang Lai's reasoning ability is really strong. ]

We should have more positive guidance like this. Jiang Lai was very satisfied.

Just like the previous guidance of Kanna's student, it will help you master new skills faster under the influence of the world and the three wills~

Jiang Lai: In such a dangerous world, you must light up your skill tree like crazy!

[I really want to see his reasoning competition with the famous detective! ]

[Wow, Jiang Lai is so handsome! He is cool and mysterious, very powerful, he can be a little white rabbit or a wolf cub, he really makes me happy!!]

[Hahaha, he used metaphysics to explain it! It's so funny, is this the legendary saying that every Chinese person knows Feng Shui? (狗头.jpg)]

[Conan: What the hell are you talking about?]

[What's terrifying is that he figured out who the murderer was, but he said nothing. He neither told Conan his reasoning nor revealed the details. He simply told Conan alone...]

Jiang Lai: You never expected that! Because I didn't make any inferences at all, Jing Guang cheated. (thumbs-up.jpg)

[No wonder Conan felt a chill on his back! ! Did he see through Conan's identity? ! Or was he suspicious and testing? Danger, great danger. ]

【Wow! So exciting! There’s more to come!】

[Akai actually went to look for Kurosawa Akira...didn't they fight? 】

Jiang Lai touched his chin: Come to think of it... when Natsume and Kurosawa were conflicting with each other, it couldn't have been because the second personality came out.

Do Akai and his second personality know each other?

...Maybe next time they meet, we can observe.

[Isn't the more important thing what Akai and Jiang Lai said later... 'I trust you very much' This sounds very strange! ! And Jiang Lai's faint smile, the feeling that everything is under control! ]

[Shh, so exciting! There must be a foreshadowing! 】

[What surprised me a little was the ending, when Jiang Lai used the neighbor who had Jing Guang's body to test Gao Ming again, but Gao Ming had a calm expression and said nothing.]

[Wow! Brother Gao Ming is really calm. I thought he would chat with Jiang Lai for a few more sentences.]

Jiang Lai: Yes, Brother Gao Ming, how can you be so calm! _(:з)∠)_ Damn it, you should ask me more questions!

【Jiang Lai: Very good, man, you have successfully caught my attention. 】

[I am dying of laughter, hahahaha, the boss upstairs is showing off! Stop playing memes, stop it now!!]

[Ahem, family, let’s get back to discussing the plot! ]

[Wow, in this situation, it looks like there is an internal fight among several factions in the organization. If Jiang Lai is the black side, he would not form a faction of his own and specialize in making trouble by turning the red side into the black side...! ]

[Is Jiang Lai planning to usurp the throne and become the boss? Good guy, you have great potential! ]

[Hiss! What a great idea! And Jiang Lai seems to be a big lone ranger hiding in the dark, so he might have this idea! ]

["A Soldier Who Doesn't Want to Be a General Is Not a Good Soldier (Neon Winery Edition)"]

[Hahaha, but it is also possible that he is the hidden BOSS himself, the current BOSS is a puppet, and the real person in power is the big boss Jiang Lai who is roaming behind the scenes! ]

[Hahahaha! I laughed so hard, but it also seems to make sense hhh No, it’s really scary when you think about it!!]

[Help me! But this plot is also so exciting sssssss!!]

Jiang Lai (subway old man’s cell phone face.jpg): You actually guessed the boss of the winery?

But...it's not impossible?

Jiang Lai looked up at the sky and thought.

If I really wanted to seize power and become the boss of the winery, then everything would be relatively simple. I could just have a meeting with all the staff and then notify the police to arrest them, or just disband the meeting on the spot. That would be the end of the story.

——Okay, it’s fun to think about it, but the real situation is probably not easy to operate. You have to consider not only the internal member problems, but also your own future problems.

But, if I really want to add the identity of the black side to myself in the future...

Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes.

——Then it would be best to go directly to the winery and hide the identity of the Boss to guide him!

If you want to be the boss, be the biggest one! (cat with arms akimbo.jpg)
