Jiang Lai’s tracking skills are pretty good, and the man in the hat in front certainly didn’t expect that there was a person following him in a chain.

So he didn't notice Jiang Lai behind him.

Jiang Lai suddenly had an idea: behind him, there won’t be someone else following someone else, and someone else who is followed by someone else, and finally they will be nested infinitely to form a long dragon!

Hey guys, let's play train lining here!

The spirit body of Zhufu Jingguang turned around and came back to say, "Don't worry, there is no one following you."

Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief. It was enough for the train queue phenomenon to only appear in his mind, not in reality!

Knowing that it was now Kid's turn, Jiang Lai's first reaction was actually - this guy can't be Kid, so he wants to use Matsuda Jinpei's identity?

But he actually chose Matsuda as his target. His luck is so bad... It doesn't seem like Douzi's special luck and handsomeness buff!

But on second thought, this time the gem viewing did not require an admission ticket, so there was no need to use an identity. Hei Yu Kaito could just disguise himself as a non-existent passerby, which would be quick and convenient.

So, who is this guy in front of me? What is he doing following Jinpei Matsuda?

Jiang Lai whispered to Morobushi Kagemitsu, "...Please remind Matsuda Jinpei in front that someone is following him."

"Okay." Morofushi Jingguang also thought so. He floated to the front and when Matsuda Jinping noticed him, he spoke first, "There is someone following you. Jiang Lai is following him."

There was a flash of surprise in Jinpei Matsuda's eyes behind his sunglasses, both a surprise at seeing Morobushi Kagemitsu and a reaction to his words.

However, on the surface, he did not show anything wrong. Instead, he continued to walk forward leisurely. He just naturally pulled down his mask with his hands and mouthed to indicate that he understood.

Zhu Fu Jingguang floated back to the back again. With the help of his soul body, he circled around the man in the hat for a few times and came back to say, "There's something in that guy's pocket. It might be a gun."

"..." Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes.

Knowing that someone was following him, Matsuda Jinpei shifted his feet slightly and walked slowly towards the alley next to the Jinmi Building.

Noticing that Matsuda Jinpei's target had shifted, the man in the hat paused, not knowing whether the other party had discovered him. But after hesitating for a few seconds, he tightened his hands in his pockets and started to chase after him.

The alley turned a corner and ended at a dead end. The man was delighted when he saw this scene. He took out the gun from his pocket, pointed it at Matsuda Jinpei who had taken off his mask, and roared, "...Don't move!"

"..." Matsuda Jinpei still looked lazy, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he didn't say much.

The next second, the man in the hat felt something hard against the center of his back, and a low, smiling voice came from behind him: "Uncle, it's better if you don't move~"

"!!" The man in the hat was startled.

——Who is behind me? When did you come here?

Just as the man was stunned, Matsuda Zhenping moved! He was fast, accurate and ruthless. He knocked the gun out of the hatted man's hand with one punch, and then punched the man cleanly, hammering him to the ground!

"Ouch!" The man fell to the concrete floor, his hat flying off. He cried out involuntarily.

Then Matsuda Jinpei saw the small iron box in Jiang Lai's hand, and after a moment's pause he smiled and said, "Ah... good job."

——Jiang Lai didn't have a gun in his hand. He just used an iron cylindrical candy box to press against the back of the man's chest. With a mysterious voice mixed with laughter, he created the illusion that he was pointing a gun at the other person with ease.

There is no need to deceive for too long. Just making the opponent panic and shocked for a moment is enough to expose his weakness and allow Matsuda's team to eliminate him.

Jiang Lai smiled as he put away the candy box. Zhu Fu Jingguang beside him nodded and said, "Fortunately, the candy grains inside were distributed before, so there was no sound." He paused, "Come to think of it, I suggest putting some marshmallows in it next time, so that the sound will be a little smaller when lifting and putting it down."

Jiang Lai's eyes showed that he understood. Because there were outsiders present, he did not communicate directly with Zhufu Jingguang.

On the other side, Jinpei Matsuda pinned the man to the concrete floor with his grappling skills. His sunglasses slid down his nose, revealing eyes that were cold and oppressive. The combined pressure of a police officer and a member of the organization at the moment poured down.

"...Who are you?" The voice was magnetic.

Jinpei Matsuda did not pull out his gun for the time being, because he considered that the other party might be an ordinary robber or a plainclothes policeman, and it would be difficult to explain if he had a gun on him.

So he simply used his strength to push the man to the ground, and spoke in a coercive tone that usually came from his casual tone.

Jiang Lai jogged back a few steps, picked up the gun, and looked down - it was a Glock.

Jiang Lai was quite familiar with the Glock pistol and was good at using it. He turned it around in his hand twice and walked over to Matsuda Jinpei.

The man gasped, "Canadian whisky...you actually forgot about me?!"

The person who called out was the code name of the organization. It seems that he is someone related to the organization.

Matsuda Jinpei looked him up and down and asked casually, "Who are you?"

"You cannibals... I will never forget you!" The man gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, you don't even remember the incident at Mingyue Bridge before. Your organization killed all of them, but you didn't expect that there were still some fish that slipped through the net-"

Jinpei Matsuda frowned, as if he remembered something.

The man sneered a few times, glanced at Matsuda Jinpei and Jiang Lai with hatred, and then whispered: "...Go to hell, you bastards of the organization, it's a pity that I can't see you die with my own eyes..." His voice gradually faded away.

Matsuda Jinpei's eyes dimmed, he suddenly reached out to pry open the opponent's mouth, but it was too late, the opponent had just resolutely bitten the poison sac in his mouth, and now there was no hope.

“……?!” Jiang Lai was stunned.

Matsuda Jinpei loosened his hand, paused for a few seconds, and exhaled: "Although this guy is not a good person, but..."

Morofushi Jingguang was not surprised by this scene. He quickly continued, "He is the one who escaped from your previous black-eating-black mission, right? It seems that he is targeting you, the executors. Obviously there will be a sequel. Be careful."

"However, the reason why he revealed his identity so openly...either you can't recognize his other escaped companions, or it's just a way of framing him." Morobushi Jingguang quickly analyzed the situation on the spot.

"He thought you were going to the building, so he followed you. There might be other people or backup in that building." Morobushi Kagemitsu looked at Matsuda Jinpei, "If you have a mission to go in there, be careful."

"Ah, I know." Matsuda Jinpei stood up and looked at Jiang Lai who was standing on the side. "Put away his pistol and use it for self-defense."

Matsuda Jinpei patted Jiang Lai on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, Jiang Lai, don't be afraid. Only this guy saw you, and the others will not retaliate against you." There was a color in his eyes that belonged to a policeman, which made people relax and trust.

Morofushi Jingguang also kept an eye on Jiang Lai from time to time, with a soothing and caring look on his face - he always didn't want Jiang Lai to see too much of the dark side.

"Ah..." Jiang Lai wanted to say that he was not worried about this and they didn't need to worry about him, but the sound coming from outside the alley interrupted him.

"There's someone." Zhu Fujingguang's eyes fixed, and he looked at Jiang Lai, "Let Matsuda take care of this person's future, you go first!"

"..." Jiang Lai adjusted his expression and said in a low voice, "Okay."

——Go and see who it is, and then find a way to lure the other party away to give Jinpei Matsuda time to deal with the situation.

Jiang Lai put the Glock into his pocket, adjusted his facial expression to a normal one, and walked towards the exit of the alley.

...I will also have to deal with all the surveillance nearby later.

Jiang Lai's heart was actually very calm.

Conan, along with Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan, received an invitation from Suzuki Sonoko to visit the "Eye of the Sea". However, Conan's focus was obviously on Kid's notice, and he was thinking about the meaning of the notice.

As they walked near the Jinmi Building, Conan glanced around and accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar silhouette, who flashed past and entered the alley next to it.

Conan was slightly stunned, but did not follow him blindly. Instead, he felt confused and alert.

Then, as he focused his attention there, he heard the dull sound of something heavy falling to the ground!

"......?!" His detective hearing enabled him to determine that it was the sound of someone falling to the ground!

Did something happen to Jiang Lai? Or someone else?

Conan was hesitating in place. Xiaolan, who was standing beside him, saw Conan twirling behind him, stopped and said, "Hurry up, Conan, why did you stop?"

"Ahaha," Conan trotted to Ran Mouri and said, looking up, "I want to buy some juice, Sister Ran~" His finger pointed to the vending machine beside the alley.

"What's that, kid? We're about to go into the building." Maori Kogoro said, trying to come over and pick up Conan, "Let's go."

"Okay, Dad, Conan is still a child after all." Mao Lilan stopped Uncle Mao Li's action. She took out a coin from her wallet and handed it to Conan. "Go, we'll wait for you in front."

"Okay~" Conan took the coin, trotted to the vending machine, and bought a bottle of orange juice.

The sound of cans rolling out of the vending machine startled Conan, who was concentrating and holding his breath. Then he pricked up his ears to listen to whether there was any sound in the alley.

It still seems very quiet.

At this time, he also looked into the alley from various angles, but due to a corner, he could not see the scene inside.

There might be a murder going on, or some other criminal activity going on. The justice and kindness of the detective prevent him from just leaving.

Perhaps a second of hesitation will cause life to pass away.

So after a moment's hesitation, Conan decided to move closer to find out what was going on. He opened the dial of his watch, prepared the anesthetic needle just in case, and then walked towards that place cautiously and carefully.

Conan slowly approached the corner, his heart pounding. When he was about to reach the edge of the corner, a person suddenly walked out, causing Conan to subconsciously take a step back!

——The black-haired young man looked normal, the dark wind in the alley blowing his hair around his ears. After seeing Conan, he stopped, his brown eyes seemed unfathomable in the dim alley, and a faint smile slowly spread across his face.

"Ah...it's Conan-kun."

Author's words: Jiang Lai: I feel like I already have a boss prototype, that's awesome!
