When Goro starts laughing, Kagami looks to the entrance of the building, and that's when he realizes they aren't at ZECT HQ. I think he recognizes the entrance from when he busted in to save Tendou. That's why Goro's laughing at Kagami; Kagami forgot that he busted into this place and it's not ZECT's headquarters!

I think you're probably right about that; great catch! Huh. They don't really show it from the same angles, but looking back at both episodes, it seems clear that's the same place, and it would explain Kagami's exact reaction, which has the tone of "wait crap i know where this is".

I have to say, it's a little on the subtle side if that's the intent, though. Like, even if I was sure right away it's the same filming location, without a line of dialogue outright confirming it in the narrative, I wouldn't put it past Toei to try and pass it off as a different place, you know?
