There are surveillance cameras and corresponding security personnel on board, and this is a closed cruise ship. Things like kidnapping and trafficking should not occur in such a context.

However, at this moment, is there anyone kidnapping a child in public?

...Although the comic did not contain any follow-up dialogues such as "Follow uncle and I'll take you to eat candy" and "I'm your parent's friend and I'll take you to see your parents", Jiang Lai had already thought of it in his mind.

He had a guess as to who that person was - the one on the left wearing a wolf-ear headdress was exactly one of the murderers Conan mentioned, and the target of Malbec and Akai Shuichi!

He didn't even pretend to look good. Was he too arrogant, didn't worry about being found, or... was this just the first layer of disguise? Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes, then smiled and stood up, saying that he would go find the children and help them get the plates.

Although Hui Zhao is here, there is no need to worry too much, but Jiang Lai still plans to look for them - after all, Kurosawa Akira's skills are not convenient to use in public, and this one-eared werewolf may have some backup plans.

I don't know what this guy's purpose is in approaching Kurosawa Akira... Is it simply because he knows Gin and is interested in children who look like Gin, or is it because he knows about the existence of Kurosawa Akira?

The moment Jiang Lai turned around, his eyes darkened. He first turned on his phone and called Conan, but the call didn't go through.

I don't know if it was because the surrounding environment was too noisy and I didn't hear the ringtone, or because my phone was not with me, or I was not in the right state to answer the call.

Jiang Lai did not call Kurosawa Akira because he knew that the other party's phone was at the dining table. It was uncomfortable to put it in his pocket while eating, so Kurosawa Akira took it out.

Jiang Lai rubbed his temples and skillfully opened the mobile phone to hack into the monitoring system. While waiting for the program to run, he looked around for the figures of Kurosawa Akira and Conan.

The restaurant was crowded with people dressed in all kinds of styles, attracting attention. However, Jiang Lai had no time to appreciate these rare Western-style costumes at this time, as his mind was full of concern for the safety of the children.

Silver hair should be very obvious, but in this makeup party, there are so many colorful hairs that it is hard to tell them apart. Jiang Lai quickly scanned the area and found nothing. He exhaled and opened his phone again. The program had already finished running.

...maybe they are no longer in the restaurant.

Jiang Lai's brown eyes were filled with thoughts. He went straight to the surveillance video at the door of the restaurant, guessed the appropriate time period based on the information provided by the comics, and switched to double-speed mode to look for the familiar figure.

People dressed in all kinds of clothes came and went at the door, but there seemed to be no sign of the silver-haired boy. Jiang Lai pursed his lips. Just as he was about to watch another section, a slightly strange figure flashed through the video!

He immediately pressed the pause button!

In the video, a person wearing a large robe and a hood holds up his bulging clothes, with both arms hidden in the robe, like an elliptical ball, which seems to be supported by an inflatable or bracket. Although this outfit is a bit weird, it seems reasonable in this makeup party.

However, Jiang Lai locked onto this man - because with this kind of attire, two children could be hidden in the wide robe! And this guy's arms were inside!

Jiang Lai quickly followed the surveillance video in the corridor, tracking the man's figure all the way, and noticed that the guy returned to the small door that Conan had mentioned.

"..." Before putting away his phone, Jiang Lai called Mao Lilan first.

Directly informing the security personnel about such a matter would require too much explanation, but with Mao Lilan, just a simple explanation of the situation would be enough.

Jiang Lai said: "The children have been abducted. I am tracking the suspect. I roughly guess that he is in a small door in the long corridor behind the cafeteria. Next, I ask you to explain to the security personnel and take them there!"

He put away his phone and ran quickly down the corridor. I have to say that his Little Red Riding Hood outfit was simple and natural, and very convenient for movement.

Jiang Lai quickly reached the small door, but did not rush to push it open. Instead, he kept the Glock hidden on his body ready to go.

Then, Jiang Lai carefully raised his ears and listened for a few seconds. After hearing nothing obvious, he quietly opened the door.

As Conan said, behind this door is a staircase leading downstairs.

Because it is located in the interior and is not where the cruise ship's customers usually go, the light is relatively dim. There is only a faint light of light yellow overhead.

Jiang Lai walked down slowly with light steps, his heart gradually lifted.

The stairs were quite long, and Jiang Lai tiptoed for a while before reaching the bottom. The scene below gradually appeared before his eyes.

It looked like a huge storage room, filled with boxes and all sorts of things. In the distance, I couldn't tell if it was a wall or another road, because the light at the edge was too dim to see clearly.

Jiang Lai first dodged behind a pile of boxes stacked against the stairs, and then observed this spacious storage room through the gap.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside: "Since you are here, there is no need to hide."

"?!" Jiang Lai was slightly startled, but did not move. He had no way of knowing whether the other party was fishing.

"You won't come out from behind the box? Then I can just strangle one of the kids to death, right?" The other person's voice was smiling, but it was also threatening. "Anyway, both of them are in a coma and can't resist."

“…”

A few seconds later, Jiang Lai walked out slowly from behind the box, with his right hand in his pocket, tightly holding his Glock.

Jiang Lai raised his brown eyes and stared at the place where the sound came from - a dark corner, where a man with dry yellow hair was standing. He was holding a silver-haired boy with his head down in his arms, and another black-haired child was lying on the ground.

——It’s Kurosawa Showa and Conan.

He roughly determined the situation. The two were knocked out by drugs, probably some small, hidden anesthetic needle, used when the two children were completely defenseless. In this case, Hui Zhao's ability would not be able to be implemented in time.

The reason why this man didn't care about his one-eared werewolf image before was because he would abandon this costume and change into another one - the weird and bloated outfit that Jiang Lai saw from the surveillance camera.

There were no surveillance cameras inside the restaurant. He only needed to remove the wolf ears at the corners and put them in his pockets, put on the hood, turn the robe over to reveal the other side, and then prop up the edge with the wire. Then he could change his clothes and hide the child in the bulging clothes and take him out.

"...How did you know I was here?" Jiang Lai wanted to delay and give the security personnel time to come here, so he asked this question.

"I smell it. It's the scent of a fourth person besides the few of us present here." The man with dry blond hair touched his chin and answered.

Taste? Jiang Lai was slightly stunned.

"Um, mint sea salt shampoo, and... milk-scented shower gel?"

"!!"

Jiang Lai subconsciously wanted to reply, "Are you a dog?"

How could the other party smell something that he could hardly smell from such a distance!

"I never thought you would use milk-scented shower gel."

"…That's because I squeezed the wrong bottle with my eyes closed last time, and it was the bottle for the child, and I felt that I couldn't waste it." Jiang Lai said, then changed his tone, stared at the other party with a sharp gaze and said, "Are you trying to kidnap children? This is illegal!"

He spoke in a strong voice, acting like a normal person: "Give the children back to me! Maybe I won't have to call the police!"

"Eh?" The withered blond-haired man raised his eyebrows. "Is it your child?"

"It's my brother and his friend." Jiang Lai took a step forward, "Give it to me."

The dry blond man seemed to have misunderstood, thinking that the black-haired Conan was Jiang Lai's younger brother. So he nodded and said, "It's not impossible to give it to you, but you have to wait until I leave - the black-haired child on the ground can naturally be returned to you."

Jiang Lai did not expose or explain, he continued: "What about the other one?"

"The other one... I think he looks very familiar. I think he must know his father." The withered blond-haired man held the silver-haired boy's arms tightly around him. Kurosawa Akira's legs swayed slightly, "We can have a good chat."

"..." It seems that the other party doesn't know Kurosawa Akira, but simply kidnapped him because he looks like Gin. Jiang Lai thought to himself.

"If you cooperate with me in the next task, I will give you one back. How about that?" The man with dry blond hair said with a smile, "I'll take the silver-haired one and give you the black-haired one back."

"You——" Jiang Lai still behaved like an ordinary person and looked very angry.

The tone of the dry blond man's next sentence became serious: "Otherwise I will kill you and the kid on the ground." He raised the gun with his other hand and pointed the black muzzle at Jiang Lai.

"..." Jiang Lai blinked his eyes. Facing the gun, his face naturally showed shock and panic. His voice was hoarse and staccato, "You...what do you want me to do?"

"It's easy. Take this box to the engine room." The withered blond-haired man pointed with his toes at the small box on the ground. It was a very ordinary black plastic box.

...Isn't it another bomb or something?

Jiang Lai thought casually in his mind, pretending to be afraid and moving a little closer to that side, observing the position and gaze of the dry blond-haired man with the rest of his eyes, planning to find the right moment and shoot the opponent unexpectedly with the Glock!

There was a hint of sharpness in his brown eyes, but it was hidden under the trembling appearance of the little white rabbit.

However, the dry blond man's expression suddenly changed, with a hint of annoyance: "Ah...what? Two more annoying guys are here."

His gaze shifted to the other side, and Jiang Lai also paid some attention to the dimly lit area.

From the distance now, I can already tell that there is a dark passage over there, not a wall like the surrounding area.

...Are the people coming Akai Shuichi and Malbec?

Jiang Lai: Put away my Glock, I'm going to be weak again. :-D

The author has something to say: Jiang Lai: Very good, it saves a bullet and there is no need to worry about the subsequent on-site handling issues!
