Tokyo Haneda International Airport, International Flights——

On the flight to a neighboring country, sitting in the VIP cabin, there was a middle-aged man with black hair and glasses. He had an ordinary face and looked a little dull and cold. He was wearing a red and white plaid shirt, a white T-shirt inside, and black overalls. He looked like an ordinary engineer. He was sitting in his seat, looking a little bored, flipping through the newspaper placed behind the front seat.

This is the latest international news newspaper, which reports some recent international events in English.

When the man flipped through a piece of news about something that happened recently in Japan, his expression changed slightly. However, in this VIP cabin where no one knew each other, no one cared about this situation.

It turns out that the report the man was reading was about what happened earlier in Hakodate City, where arms dealer Brian D. Kadokura was arrested by Japanese police.

Thus, after the man read the report, a piece of text actually appeared in front of him, in a place that was completely invisible to others:

"The reasoning is over, let's start closing the case."

"Overall evaluation of the case: S"

"Knowledge: S"

「Logic: S」

"Observation: S"

"Settlement completed, comprehensive score reaches S, reward 50, additional rewards issued, please select:"

「Reward 1: Special Item V」

「Reward 2: Professional Knowledge III」

「Reward 3: Star Coin」

"Detective Rating: Certified Detective"

"Bounty: 4160"

As the settlement panel appeared in front of the man, the man's true identity became clear. He was Gao Yuan in disguise.

In order to keep his trip abroad secret, Gao Yuan deliberately changed his identity and appearance, hiding it from a few people including Xiao Ai and Miyano Akemi, and began to carry out some of his plans abroad.

At this time, after applying for a visa with this new identity, Gao Yuan prepared to go to the neighboring country to complete some plans he wanted to realize.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I boarded the flight, I saw the final report about the previous trip to Hakodate, which led to the settlement panel...

This time, I finally got an "S" score, which is a bit rare for me. I can only say that the mystery of the Hakodate incident is not difficult in itself, but it is more because the parties involved in the incident made the situation extremely complicated.

But fortunately, the result was smooth.

So now, another reward choice...

Thus, looking at the third option of "Star Coin" among the three choices, Gao Yuan couldn't help but recall the experience of choosing the "Sword" reward for the second time. At that time, he already had the "Ace of Swords" and after choosing the "Sword" for the second time, he fell into a trial. Based on that experience, it seemed that he had to go through the trial to determine which Minor Arcana he got as the second reward after the "Ace".

So, if the methods of obtaining these props named after Minor Arcana are similar, if I choose "Star Coin" this time, and I already have the "Star Coin Ace", does that mean I need to pass the trial to get the second Star Coin card?

Gao Yuan thought about it this way, and looked back and forth at the three options for a long time. In the end, he decided not to choose one.

After all, I am actually a little inclined to choose "Star Coins" at this moment, but if I have to go through the trial first, now is not a good time. I'd better wait until I have free time...

At least, I'll wait until I go to the neighboring country and take care of the business...

As for the safety of Ai in Tokyo, and how to deal with unexpected situations that may arise from her absence for a period of time, it all depends on Miyano Akemi...

……

"How is it? Can you see the problem?"

At this moment, in Mingzhi's house, Gao Yuan was smiling, with his hands on his hips, as if trying his best to show his current appearance -

He was wearing a well-fitting shirt and a grey windbreaker, and he looked normal.

However, seeing this, Xiao Ai felt that something was wrong. In the end, she could only touch her forehead helplessly and said with a little embarrassment:

"Okay, sister, if you really want to ask me, I really... don't know how to say it. Anyway, it seems that there are problems everywhere! So, it's best to do as Gao Yuan said. Just let people know that you are at home these days, and try not to go out.

"Anyway, Gao Yuan has been in the habit of not going out much for a while, so this is not surprising."

So, Xiao Ai said this, but the name she gave to the "Gao Yuan" in front of her was "sister"——

Therefore, the real "Takato" who is still in Akechi's house after the real Takato disguised himself and left is actually Miyano Akemi.

Although after waking up, Miyano Akemi got the identity of an ordinary person, Mitani Hiruko, with the help of Gao Yuan and Kuroba Kaito, in order to prevent the existence of this identity from being discovered, Miyano Akemi chose not to contact Ai and the others in real life just in case, to ensure that the existence of this identity and the contact with Ai and the others would not be discovered. She only contacted Ai and the others through remote video chat when she was alone.

But now, this identity, which was originally well hidden from the outside world, has provided convenience for Gao Yuan's actions——

Since Miyano Akemi's current public identity, Mitani Hiruko, is already out of everyone's sight, would it be okay to move her into this matter to replace herself who has disappeared for a while?

This is one of the reasons why Gao Yuan approached Miyano Akemi before taking action.

In this way, the real Gao Yuan left, and then let Miyano Akemi pretend to be herself, making people think that Gao Yuan has been staying in Tokyo. In this way, not only will Xiao Ai's safety, who was worried before, no longer be in danger, but Gao Yuan's whereabouts will also be better concealed. The only problem is whether the friends around Mitani Hiruko will be aware of the situation, and how to let Miyano Akemi pretend to be Gao Yuan perfectly...

Regarding the latter point, Gao Yuan chose to ask Kuroba Kaito for help. After all, he remembered that Vermouth had been able to pretend to be Tomoaki Aida for such a long time, and the students and teachers she came into contact with hardly noticed any flaws. It can be seen that excluding acting skills, at least in terms of disguise technology, there are actually relatively mature means for a woman to disguise herself as a man.

And because Miyano Akemi had been in a coma for such a long time, she was almost entirely dependent on nutrient solution to survive, and she was also rather thin, so it was not difficult for her to use technical means to disguise herself as a man, but Gao Yuan just didn't know how.

Therefore, in this incident, Gao Yuan had to ask Kuroba Kaito for help again.

And Kuroba Kaito readily agreed to Gao Yuan's request after Gao Yuan helped him find clues that his father was still alive during the trip to Hakodate... (End of this chapter)
