Chapter 76



Toru Amuro was still haunted by his childhood memories, so he looked around when he got off the boat, but he didn't see the man with blue-gray squinting eyes - he didn't know where he had gone.

Jiang Lai: Of course he slipped away quietly.

Samuster originally wanted to arrange a car to take them there, but Jiang Lai refused and said that since it was on the same route as Amuro Toru, they could just go with him.

Amuro: ...It's not going smoothly.

Despite his complicated emotions, Toru Amuro still acted ignorant and sent Jiang Lai and Kurosawa Akira home as usual.

This time he collected some information about Samuster, which he could temporarily file with the public security department to lay the foundation for collecting more evidence and arresting this pervert in the future.

When they got downstairs, Jiang Lai and Amuro Toru said goodbye. The black-haired young man smiled brightly, like a ray of joyful sunshine, and said cheerfully, "Goodbye, Amuro-san! I'll treat you to rice balls some other day!"

There was no danger in those brown eyes. If I hadn't heard his conversation with Samuster during this trip to the institute, I wouldn't have thought that this young man seemed to have another identity hidden behind him.

"...Okay." Amuro Toru responded with a perfect smile on his face, his purple-gray eyes calmed down.

——Whether there is a wolf or a tiger ahead, he is ready.

Jiang Lai noticed that the mood had become serious: ...Ah, relax a little?

When they were downstairs, they happened to meet Kuroko and Natsume who were looking for Kurosawa Akira. They also heard from Officer Hagiwara that their good friend would be coming back today.

At this moment, Kurosawa Akira turned back into Xiao Akira with dark green eyes. He shouted happily and hugged his two friends.

Seeing the children so happy about the reunion, Jiang Lai also decided to play with them first, so he slung his backpack over his shoulder, and went to the open space next to them to play games with them.

Several people were playing hide-and-seek. Jiang Lai covered his eyes with a white cloth that little Natsume brought, leaned against the wall, counted silently in his mind, and waited for the children to hide.

As he was counting down silently, his sensitive ears heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the side - he could roughly determine that it was a child.

Before Jiang Lai could react, the child ran over and grabbed his hand: "Jiang Lai?? Your eyes?"

Identify the person by voice, it's Conan.

Conan just caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from a distance. He looked closely and noticed the white cloth wrapped around the black-haired young man's eyes, and was startled.

As early as when Haibara Ai handed him the information, he knew that Samuster was definitely not a good person, and there might be a case hidden behind each of his collections of eyeballs.

When Conan heard that Jiang Lai was invited to the research institute, he was actually a little worried. After the previous fire incident, the detective's observation and intuition told him that Jiang Lai should not be a... bad person (if defined by the most common good and bad people).

He knows that Jiang Lai is very powerful and his true identity is definitely not the ordinary high school teacher he appears to be. However, the research institute is the base camp of Samuster... Can Jiang Lai successfully display his strength there and avoid being harmed by people with bad intentions?

——What's more, the other party's body has not fully recovered and is still in the recuperation period.

These days he has been looking through the information on Samuster and has a deeper understanding of how perverted this guy is and how obsessed he is. So when Conan saw Jiang Lai leaning against the wall with a white cloth covering his face, his first reaction was: Could it be that his eyes were really dug out by that pervert Samuster? ?

Hearing Conan's slightly anxious tone, Jiang Lai was slightly startled, and then smiled and said, "Ah, is it Conan? Really...you should call Jiang Lai brother."

He lowered his head according to the sound and the direction of the hand being pulled, and spoke to Conan.

The black-haired young man in the sight lowered his head slightly, and the black hair and the tangled white cloth formed a sharp contrast. He groped and stretched out his right hand in the air, and gently patted Conan's head: "It's time to go home alone after school today? Sorry... I can't see."

The black-haired young man spoke with a hint of regret and helplessness, but there was still a faint smile on his face.

"..." The boy's sapphire eyes were filled with complicated emotions. Conan gritted his teeth and then said, "...Brother Jiang Lai, have you collected evidence?"

Damn it...! This act of plundering human organs is absolutely illegal. If there is solid evidence, even if someone behind Summerst can do it -

"Conan-kun?" The chestnut-haired Natsume poked his head out from the alley next to him.

"Hey?" Conan turned his head and saw Kurosawa Akira appearing, "You two are here too?"

"There are three people." The expressionless Xiao Heizi waved his hand, and Conan realized that there was another person standing next to him!

"So, Conan-kun also wants to play games with everyone?" Jiang Lai said with a smile, lifting the white cloth wrapped around his face, revealing warm brown eyes with a smile.

"???!" Conan was stunned when he saw Jiang Lai's bright eyes, "You are..."

"It's a game of hide and seek. This time I'm here to find someone, so I'm covered with a white sheet for now." Jiang Lai took off the white sheet and held it casually in his hand. "What did Conan say just now? It was too fast and I didn't hear it clearly."

Conan: “…”

Conan: "...Nothing, haha."

——I thought that pervert dug your eyes out! Conan complained in his heart. In hide-and-seek, you cover your eyes with your hands, why would you specifically cover them with a white cloth? It's too misleading!

Conan had no doubt that the other party had started his evil ways again. The pat on the head, the smile, and the regretful tone just now were all just acting at him! Damn it, he was fooled again!

Jiang Lai was in a very good mood. He half-knelt down, smiled and handed the white cloth to Conan: "Okay, you guys play, I'll go home and cook."

Before he stood up, he raised his warm brown eyes and looked at Conan: "...Thank you, Detective." He said softly, his tone serious, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Eh? Conan was slightly stunned holding the white cloth, and then he realized that the other party seemed to be thanking him for his concern just now.

This guy is really...! Conan's eyes narrowed, but the corners of his lips curled up.

Jiang Lai stood up, waved to the children, and said with a smile: "Okay, have fun, be safe, and remember to go home on time for dinner~"

When Jiang Lai returned home and opened the door, he saw someone already sitting on the sofa. He was not surprised in fact - Zhu Fu Jingguang certainly knew where his spare key was.

But he still sighed: "You came back so quickly! I took the car from Furuya." Jiang Lai said while putting on slippers at the entrance, "Although I played with the children for a while downstairs, it didn't take long."

"Time always passes faster than you think." Morobushi Jingguang said with a smile. He had taken off the mask covering his face when he returned home. "And I also took a taxi back."

After Morobushi Kagemitsu was resurrected, Jiang Lai first gave him a lot of money, just like Matsuda Jinpei, to ensure the supply of basic materials - after all, if you are resurrected, you are a real living person, and people need money to live (.)

"How do you feel now?" Jiang Lai asked first, "Do you have any extra... um, non-existent memories?" He said in a half-joking tone.

"..." Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled gently, and raised his blue-gray eyes, "Ah, memories that don't exist? Yes, there are."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Jiang Lai looked a little nervous, "What is it?"

Morofu Jingguang touched his face and said with a hint of emotion: "I found that I can disguise myself very well, so I usually face people in disguise."

Jiang Lai: “!”

The resurrected Morobushi Kagemitsu has a new skill tree!

However, the disguise is also in line with the reasonable development of the plot, especially for Jiang Lai, who was a "neighbor who only had eyes similar to Jingguang and all other features were different."

"When we were on the rooftop, it was Lei who helped me fake the death scene. He told me that he was an FBI agent named Shuichi Akai, who was also a wolf determined to kill those guys. However, he also revealed that his current condition was not stable, so he hoped that I could bring his information to the FBI." Morobushi Kagemitsu touched his chin, "It can be regarded as a temporary cooperation."

Jiang Lai exhaled. It was really not easy for Akai Shuichi to struggle to hold on to his memories.

"During the period after I faked my death, I used a fake identity with the help of a hacker named HLJ and chose the address to live in." Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled, "It's you, Jiang Lai - we were in electronic contact at the time."

Jiang Lai thought: It makes sense. Online connections do not require one to come to Japan in person. So this also fits the problem that the timeline of his coming to Japan is later than the time of Jingguang's fake death.

"Because I haven't determined who the traitor in the Metropolitan Police Department is, and in order to avoid bringing trouble and disaster to the young people, I have not contacted the Public Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department." Morobushi Jingguang narrated slowly, "With my hand injured and unable to heal for unknown reasons, I can't participate in those fights any further."

"Therefore, with the help of HLJ, I have been recuperating behind the scenes during this period, and quietly wandering around the edges to collect evidence of organized crime and some news about the mole in the Metropolitan Police Department."

Jiang Lai blinked: "Wow, it's connected."

"Indeed, I also find my memory incredible." Morofushi Jingguang nodded, and then his face became a little more serious, "In addition to this information, I also vaguely have a little more... other memories."

Seeing Zhu Fu Jingguang's serious expression, Jiang Lai also straightened his face and waited for him to say the next sentence.

"It's just some news about the organization." Zhu Fu Jingguang paused for a moment, as if considering his words, "The organization... seems to have more than one boss."

"Why??!"

"Although it's a bit strange, it's true." Zhu Fu Jingguang rubbed his temples, "The gentleman in the open is one, and there is another boss hidden in the dark... I don't know. However - after all, there can't be two tigers in one mountain, probably the relationship between the two is that one wants to kill the other."

"On the surface, the members of the organization are all managed by the gentleman who is currently sitting on the stage, but in reality, they are also divided into two factions."

"Some people... support the hidden boss." Morobushi Jingguang said slowly, raising his blue-gray eyes, "It feels like the situation of the organization has become very complicated."
