Stay away from Conan.

"Eh? Akechi-nii?"

"Mr. Wise?"

"cousin?"

Tetsumoroha, Ooka Momiji and Mitarai Yukina, who were about to leave the stadium, suddenly saw Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai coming towards the stadium, so the three of them couldn't help but call out their respective names for Gao Yuan.

As a result, as the three people's shouting attracted Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai's attention and looked towards their location, it was Tetsu Moroha, Ooka Momiji and Mitarai Yukina who looked at each other, and seemed to be a little surprised at their address to Gao Yuan -

Among them, Tetsumoroha and Ooka Momiji noticed the name that Mitarai Yukina said...

"cousin"?
Does this mean that Gao Yuan is related to the Siling Group?
Thinking this way, although because of the direction the three people were looking, they subconsciously thought that everyone was calling Gao Yuan, but when they thought about it a little more, they felt that maybe everyone was not calling the same person. Therefore, although the three of them were surprised, no one said anything until Gao Yuan came over to talk to them.

In comparison, Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai, who also came to the competition venue to look for Hattori Heiji, heard someone calling their names, so naturally, Gao Yuan looked over -

Among them, for the two titles "Brother Mingzhi" and "Mr. Mingzhi", Gao Yuan immediately knew who was calling him in the former, and combined with the voice and intonation of the Kansai accent in the latter, Gao Yuan also understood who appeared here.

It's just that the title of "cousin"...

Gao Yuan was very surprised. He looked towards Tie Zhuyu and the others and saw that besides Tie Zhuyu and Ooka Hongye, there was another long-haired girl wearing red-framed glasses looking at him. Almost instantly, after seeing her appearance and hearing the word "cousin", Gao Yuan remembered who the other person was -

Yukina Mitarai of the Shiling Group!

Speaking of blood relationship, whether it is the original body or the current bloodline that has been changed by the "devil", they are all Yukina Mitarashi's brother, so...

Although he was helpless, he couldn't refute this point at all, so Gao Yuan could only bite the bullet and step forward to respond to the three girls who were staying together here -

"Ms. Moroha, Ms. Ooka, Yu... Xuena, why... are you here?"

So, after Gao Yuan greeted them like this, he seemed very confused and asked this question. After all, Tetsu Moroha was in Ekoda, Ooka Momiji was from Kyoto, and although Mitarai Yukina was from Hokkaido, the Shiling Group was in Sapporo. But now the three of them appeared in Hakodate together, which was really curious.

And why are the three of them gathered here?

Because they all knew each other?

After Gao Yuan asked about this doubt, Tie Zhuoyu took the initiative to explain to Gao Yuan why they came. Simply put, they came to watch the kendo competition for their own reasons, and they happened to meet in the venue. Because Tie Zhuoyu knew Ooka Momiji and Mitarai Yukina, with Tie Zhuoyu's help, the three of them got to know each other.

In response to this, Tie Zhuyu finished speaking, and then he became curious about Gao Yuan's appearance here, so he took the initiative to ask:

"Brother Mingzhi, why are you here too? And..."

As she spoke, Tetsu Moroha looked at Yukina Mitarai beside her, as if asking what was going on with the "cousin". After all, when the "Kendo Girl" encountered that incident at the concert, Tetsu Moroha was very sure that Gao Yuan and Yukina Mitarai did not know each other. So, facing this question, Gao Yuan first glanced at Ooka Momiji, and then said:

"I'm here to look for Hattori Heiji. He didn't come back last night after he went out on his own. We were all looking for him and thought he might come to this kendo competition. After all, he came to Hakodate to participate in the competition."

Because Tetsumoroha and Ooka Momiji both knew and were aware of Hattori Heiji's relationship, Gao Yuan directly mentioned Hattori Heiji's name:
"And I came to Hakodate this time because I was invited to watch his game."

After adding a sentence and expressing the purpose of his visit to Hakodate, Gao Yuan seemed to have an answer when facing the red leaves of Ooka:
"But, it looks like Hattori Heiji isn't in the arena now, right?"

Gao Yuan asked this to Ooka Momiji.

In response to this question, Ooka Hongye and Tetsu Moroha both nodded naturally, and Ooka Hongye responded:

"Yes, among the contestants from Kaikata High School today, there is no Heiji."

"That's it..."

So, facing this result, Gao Yuan knew there was no need to continue investigating the competition venue. It seemed that Hattori Heiji had gone to chase Kaito Kid last night and had not returned yet. Could it be that...

Did he really find some clues and track them down until now, even forgetting about today's game?

But come to think of it, missing the game due to incidents seems to be a common thing for Hattori Heiji, so it's not particularly strange.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Just like that, as he was thinking this, Gao Yuan prepared to say goodbye, saying that he wanted to go somewhere else to look for Hattori Heiji.

But at this moment, Yukina Mitarai seemed to want to talk to Gao Yuan more because she had not contacted Gao Yuan for a long time compared to the other two. So when she was about to talk to Gao Yuan, Mitarai Chikamune suddenly came up and looked at Gao Yuan with a serious expression, which made Gao Yuan stunned. After all, when he saw Mitarai Chikamune, Gao Yuan couldn't help but think of the previous Hokkaido incident when he had sneak attacks on him several times.

However, this seems to be the same for Mitarai Kinmune. He was defeated miserably in several battles with Gao Yuan. This made Mitarai Kinmune, who learned kendo from Mitarai Soxu, have a very subtle attitude towards Gao Yuan. It would be fine if they didn't see each other normally, but now...

At this time, Mitarai Chikamune came to Gao Yuan with a serious face. Gao Yuan was a little puzzled, wondering if this guy wanted to attack again. He just patted Gao Yuan's shoulder lightly, which aroused Gao Yuan's vigilant and puzzled look. Then Mitarai Chikamune suddenly raised his hand and stretched out his hand to pull Gao Yuan's face, as if to confirm something.

After discovering that Gao Yuan's face was normal, Mitarai Chikamune snorted coldly, said "I'm leaving first" to Mitarai Yukina, and left immediately as if he didn't want to see Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan was puzzled at first, and covered his cheek which was hurt by Mitarai Kinmune's pulling, but soon he understood the purpose of the other party's action -

Oh, yes. Come to think of it, didn’t Kaito Kidd pretend to be himself and contact the Siling Group regarding the auction of the Axe River Group?
and so……

Gao Yuan looked at Mitarai Chikamune's back with some depression. He didn't want to have any more to do with him, so he turned to look at Mitarai Yukina——

It seems like a coincidence... (End of this chapter)
