"What a coincidence, we meet again, little Conan." Jiang Lai leaned down, moved closer to him with a smile, and naturally held his watch-wearing hand with one hand and pressed it down.

"......!" Conan's pupils suddenly shrank. He could only stare blankly as Jiang Lai gently pressed his hand down, and the anesthetic needle lost its use.

——However, before Jiang Lai did anything, he had no reason to use the anesthetic needle.

Besides, his anesthetic needle was originally used in secret. He had planned to see what was happening in the alley and hit the person there secretly, rather than exposing himself in front of the scary person and attracting more attention.

"So, what are you doing here?" Jiang Lai tilted his head slightly, his black hair tilted to one side.

Under the light of the street lamps, faint shadows were cast on the ground.

Although the other person's expression was natural and he didn't show any threat to him, Conan seemed to feel a huge pressure and his back was slightly sweaty.

"..." Conan controlled his facial expression and smiled innocently with some difficulty, "Haha, ha... I'm here to buy orange juice, Brother Jiang Lai."

He blinked and shook the can in his hand: "It just rolled here... Let me pick it up."

Conan knew that the surface of the can was very clean, with no traces of it rolling on the ground, so he didn't raise it high, but simply gestured, hoping that the other party wouldn't look too closely.

Jiang Lai did not expose the other party. He smiled and patted Conan on the shoulder: "Is that so? Let's go."

Jiang Lai turned Conan around and gently pushed him on the back to urge him to leave, making it impossible for Conan to go any further into the alley. His sight was always stuck at the corner, and now it was getting farther and farther away from there.

...Damn it!

Conan gritted his teeth inwardly.

Since the voice just now was not Jiang Lai being murdered, then where is the victim inside now——

"...There are no victims, Great Detective." A light voice came from above, making Conan's hair stand on end!

——Does this guy have the ability to read minds? !

He looked up at the black-haired young man. His expression was calm, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

Conan could hardly detect any sign of the other party lying.

Jiang Lai: It is the truth. That guy made his own choice, so there are no victims.

Jiang Lai continued with a smile: "Haha, children always have endless fantasies about dark alleys. I guessed that the clever and brave Conan had come up with some detective suspense plot, so I cooperated with you~"

"..." Conan could only continue to reply with a dry smile, thinking in his heart: It's useless to go over and take a look, the scene has probably been cleaned up.

His heart slowly sank.

"I feel like Conan-kun is like a kitten." Jiang Lai said in a long voice as he walked outside with him, "--very cute."

After being slightly stunned, Conan did not feel praised, but rather felt a little chilled.

"Curiosity kills the cat."

Is that what the other party meant? A threat or a warning or something...

"Conan!" Ran Maoli came running over from a distance. "Why are you so slow to buy an orange juice? Dad is rushing over there and hasn't waited for you."

"Ha, haha, because I ran into Brother Jiang Lai." Conan blinked his eyes, "I chatted with Brother Jiang Lai~"

The long-haired girl raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Lai: "Hey, hello." with a youthful smile.

Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows slightly in his heart.

——Is this really Ran Maori herself?

I am not familiar with Mao Lilan, and I am not her teacher. But she knows me, so when we meet, she will politely call me Teacher Jiang.

Morobushi Jingguang, the soul who sometimes followed Jiang Lai to school, naturally remembered this. His experience as a policeman and former undercover agent made him sensitive to this small difference.

He floated to Mao Lilan's side, then turned back: "I don't know if it's the real person. But if it's a disguise, this person's skills are very high. At least from the appearance, there's nothing wrong."

Jiang Lai had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't reveal anything. He just smiled and replied as usual: "It's Xiaolan."

It must be Kuroba Kuaidou, he thought to himself.

Then a joyful shout came from far away: "Ran-chan!" Suzuki Sonoko jumped here happily, "Oh, Teacher Jiang Lai!" She looked very surprised.

Jiang Lai actually knew Suzuki Sonoko earlier than Mao Li Ran. Jiang Lai had just arrived at Teitan High School not long ago. He was walking upstairs to his office when Suzuki Sonoko staggered downstairs with a pile of books in her arms.

Perhaps the books were piled too high, and they tilted and fell down uncontrollably. Jiang Lai, who came from below, happened to hold them up quickly and steadily, and said with a smile: "Student, be careful. Let me help you."

Then Jiang Lai took the initiative to take all the books from Suzuki Sonoko's hands. Suzuki Sonoko felt a little embarrassed and took some out for herself.

The girl had an excited smile on her face. She glanced at the black-haired young man beside her, and her mind was filled with thoughts: [Wow, wow, wow, such a handsome and warm man!! Is this my luck for today!!]

Jiang Lai helped Suzuki Sonoko deliver the books to the library. When she was about to leave, the enthusiastic and generous young lady took the initiative to say, "Thank you. I am Suzuki Sonoko from Class 2B. Which class are you in? I will thank you another day!"

"Hey? Do I look so youthful?" Jiang Lai touched his cheek and smiled, "I'm the new teacher here."

"Hey! Is it a teacher?" Suzuki Sonoko looked a little surprised, "You are so young——" Then she covered her mouth, "Ah, I don't mean that young people can't be teachers, I'm just a little surprised... I haven't seen such a young new teacher for a long time."

"Haha, I understand." Jiang Lai blinked, "But I don't teach you the main subjects, I'm just the elective teacher for the first year of high school."

Jiang Lai unfolded his staff ID and introduced himself: "Hello, Suzuki, nice to meet you. I am the new Chinese elective teacher, Jiang Lai."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Jiang Lai!" Suzuki Sonoko said with a smile, "Teacher, just call me Sonoko!"

Then she asked curiously, "Do you know Kung Fu? Chinese Kung Fu! Oh, or Qigong? It sounds amazing!"

Jiang Lai (cat wipes sweat.jpg): "Well... I know some self-defense techniques, which can be considered kung fu. I don't really have any qigong or anything like that."

"Wow," Suzuki Sonoko thought for a moment, "Shin also likes this place, maybe you two will have something in common when you meet."

"Hahaha..." Is Kyogoku real? Sonoko's boyfriend, a super-scientific karate master in the world of science, one of the top fighters, a man who can dodge bullets and kick concrete pillars!

"Oh no, class is about to start!" Hearing the bell ringing, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized, "I disturbed the teacher! Sorry, I have to leave now, see you next time!"

"Okay, go to class now." Jiang Lai said goodbye to the other party with a smile.

Later they met several times at school, and Suzuki Sonoko greeted her warmly every time. Mao Lilan also got to know Jiang Lai.

At this moment, they met outside of school.

"Yuanzi is here too." Jiang Lai also waved his hand.

"Hey? Teacher Jiang, are you here to visit the 'Eye of the Sea' as well?" Suzuki Sonoko warmly greeted him, "Then let's go together~ I'll take you to the private elevator."

Jiang Lai paused for a second, and the refusal that was about to come out of his mouth turned around and responded, "Okay, let's go together, thank you."

——Not knowing what Matsuda’s mission was, or whether there were other dangers in the building preparing to ambush Matsuda, Jiang Lai planned to go in and take a look.

I will contact Matsuda Jinpei via mobile phone later, and if anything happens, I can provide timely assistance.

Conan's expression didn't look very good. Deep down, he probably didn't want a "dangerous person" like him to have too much contact with them. Jiang Lai smiled and rubbed Conan's hair, feeling the child's body stiffen for a moment.

Okay, then continue to speculate at a higher level, great detective. Jiang Lai thought happily in his heart. Should I play "Seven Children" for him next time...?

Jiang Lai, who is committed to the reverse sprint, not only improves his impression points in the three forums, but now also intends to improve his impression points in the world of science. =v=

Conan is the son of destiny in the scientific world (?), and Jiang Lai now does not hide the BOSS aura he has just cultivated in front of him.

——Mysterious, dangerous, powerful, and a mystery teller.

Perfect!

The soul body of Zhu Fu Jing Guang did not forget to remind him kindly: "By the way, Jiang Lai, remember to send a text message to Xiao Hei Ze. He may still be waiting for you in the theater."

Jiang Lai nodded slightly to show that he understood. He took out his cell phone and said to the people around him: "You guys chat first, I'll send a text message." Then he quickly edited a text message and sent it to Kurosawa Akira:

[You can go watch the Kamen Rider show with them. I met the Mori family and Ms. Suzuki, and I plan to go watch "Umi no Eyes" with them~

Don't worry, I'll pick you up after the show. 】

After Jiang Lai sent the message, he used his mobile phone to quickly hack into the surrounding surveillance systems, resetting and replacing all suspicious images to ensure that no one could track him down.

It was dark at this time, and the street lights were not particularly bright. The faint blue light of the mobile phone screen reflected Jiang Lai's face, and his brown eyes were like some kind of inorganic substance, cold and indifferent.

While operating, Jiang Lai had wild thoughts in his mind: With my current skills, abilities, and acting skills, if I wanted to commit a crime, I might be able to get away with it...

However, this thought only flashed through his mind, and Jiang Lai quickly gathered his thoughts and continued editing.

Jiang Lai didn't want to spend too much time on his phone under the pretext of texting, so he put it away at the end and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go."

They, along with Uncle Maori who was waiting in front of them and the floating soul body Jingguang, walked towards the Jinmi Building together. Jiang Lai looked at the bright building from a distance, and fumbled for his phone in his pocket.

...I'll find time to contact Matsuda when I get in. I'll also check the comics to see if there's any information.

Jiang Lai was thinking in his heart.

The author has something to say: Kid and Xiaolan: The young detective seems a little nervous. What happened to that young man?

Jiang Lai: What bad intentions can a little cat have.jpg
