Stay away from Conan.

The Siling Group was also originally involved in the auction of the Axe Group, but in the end, the Siling Group withdrew from the final bidding, which allowed the Suzuki Group to successfully purchase the collections of Hijikata Toshizo without any setbacks.

However, because he knew some details, Gao Yuan realized that the timing of Siling Group's withdrawal from the auction was a bit coincidental, so...

Previously, due to his status, he did not want to take the initiative to contact the Siling Group, so he had not taken any action. But now with what happened last night, Gao Yuan realized that the reason why the Siling Group just happened to withdraw from the auction might be worth considering. Moreover, Yukina Mitarai is right in front of him, so...

After a little thought, facing the current situation, Gao Yuan knew that Mitarai Chikamune's behavior just now must be due to the sequelae caused by the discovery of Kaito Kidd's previous infiltration into the Shiling Group. So he thought that by taking advantage of this excuse, he might be able to find out something from Mitarai Setsuna.

So thinking like this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask Yukina Mitarai doubtfully:
"What's going on with this guy?"

In this regard, seeing that Gao Yuan was referring to the behavior of Mitarai Kinmune just now, Mitarai Yukina could not help but explain:

"Cousin, actually... you shouldn't blame Uncle Jinzong. It's because someone pretended to be you to get close to us before that Uncle Jinzong was more cautious this time. Please... don't take it to heart."

As a result, Gao Yuan seemed to be somewhat confused after hearing this explanation, and then he continued:
"Pretending to be me? Could it be... Kaito Kidd?"

"Yes, it was Kaito Kidd. He came here for unknown reasons, and disguised himself as your cousin to approach us, but was discovered by your second uncle."

Yukina Mitarai continued her story.

Then, seeing the mention of Kaito Kidd, Gao Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and after thinking for a while, he continued the topic:
"When did that happen? By the way, last night Kaito Kid appeared, and Hattori Heiji went to chase him, so he hasn't come back yet... They all happened in Hokkaido, is there any connection?"

So, as Gao Yuan led the topic to this point, because it also involved Kaito Kid's actions, naturally, Gao Yuan also told everyone about Kaito Kid's target last night and the two short swords forged by Tokugawa Ronglong among the items of Hijikata Toshizo collected by the Axe Group.

Therefore, after hearing all this, Yukina Mitarai naturally told what she knew, because before this, the Siling Group was also planning to buy the things that the Axe Group put up for auction, but it happened that after Kaito Kid tried to approach the Siling Group and was discovered, Mitarai Souaki expressed that he would no longer participate in the auction and withdrew from the bidding.

So, after hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but understand and asked:
"So, it was Mr. Mitarai Souaki who suggested that the Siling Group withdraw from the bidding? Why?"

This is what Gao Yuan really cares about.

"Yeah. But it was my second uncle who originally suggested buying these things. I don't know why he suddenly withdrew... But I think my uncle Jinzong might know, because he has always been in charge of this matter."

Yukina Mitarai replied.

After hearing this, Gao Yuan was a little reluctant to go when he thought about asking Mitarai Souaki. He thought that since it was Mitarai Souaki's decision, he might as well ask Mitarai Souaki.

However, this is not the place for him to ask. Looking at Yukina Mitarai in front of him, Gao Yuan thought about it and decided to entrust this matter to Yukina Mitarai, hoping that she could help find out why Sosaki Mitarai originally wanted to buy the collections of the Fujiang Group but suddenly decided not to buy them.

So, facing Gao Yuan's request, Yukina Mitarai nodded in agreement without any hesitation. So, seeing that this matter had made some progress, Gao Yuan prepared to leave first, not to disturb Tetsu Moroha and the others' play, and to go look for Hattori Heiji nearby.

In this regard, after Gao Yuan said goodbye to everyone and was about to leave, Yukina Mitarai suddenly noticed Xiao Ai who was following Gao Yuan. She seemed to think she looked familiar, but seeing that Gao Yuan had already walked away, it was not convenient to ask any more questions. So she asked Tetsu Muyu and the others about the child following Gao Yuan. After all, it was the first time she saw such a child with Gao Yuan, but Yukina Mitarai felt like she had seen her somewhere before.

Therefore, in response to this question, Tetsu Moroha told Yukina Mitarai that Ai was the sister of Takato's friend and was currently living in Takato's house. Then, since Takato did not answer her question about the relationship between Takato and Yukina Mitarai, Tetsu Moroha asked Yukina Mitarai about this matter curiously.

In this regard, Setsuna Mitarai also gave a very simple summary of some of the circumstances of the previous Hokkaido incident. In short, Gao Yuan, who came to the Siling Group to investigate, was discovered by accident, and it was finally discovered that he was also a descendant of the Mitarai family, and in terms of seniority, he was naturally Setsuna Mitarai's cousin.

Hearing this, Ooka Hongye and Tetsu Moroha were also a little surprised. They didn't expect that there would be such a thing. However, after talking about these things, the three of them began to prepare to travel to Hakodate...

……

"Hey, Heiji, where did he go? He was obviously very serious about this game, but as soon as Kidd showed up, I don't know what he did..."

At the same time, when Gao Yuan and Tetsu Moroha left the competition venue, on the other side, Conan and Kazue, although they did not see Hattori Heiji's name at the registration office, continued to follow him into the venue to see if Hattori Heiji was really not there.

However, he didn't see him when he went to the stadium, so he walked towards the backstage of the stadium where the teams rested, but he didn't see him in the backstage lounge of Kaifang High School. He Ye was helpless now, and leaned against the wall in the corridor, sighing.

In response to this, Conan, who was following nearby, could only smile bitterly.

However, at this moment, as he passed by the courtyard outside the corridor, He Ye suddenly heard the sound of a samurai sword being swung from outside.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Hmm, that sound?"

The sound was sharp and crisp. Kazuha often heard the sound of Hattori Heiji swinging his sword when practicing kendo, so she subconsciously reacted to the sound.

"Heiji? Is that you? What are you doing there?"

Somewhat anxiously, He Ye ran from the corridor to the door leading to the courtyard, and saw in the courtyard, there was a young man about twenty years old, wearing a black kendo uniform, standing there practicing Iai.

So, after seeing that the other person was not Hattori Heiji, Kazuha couldn't help but feel very embarrassed, knowing that he had made a mistake.

The young man who was contacting Iai apparently just realized that Kazuha who came over seemed to have called him just now, but it seemed that he had recognized the wrong person, and he couldn't help but let out a surprised and puzzled expression.

"Sorry, I recognized the wrong person." (End of this chapter)
