Stay away from Conan.

In this way, the episode of giving away props is over.

After lunch, seeing that the time was almost up, Tie Zhuyu enthusiastically led Gao Yuan and Chengzuo Feicui towards the big playground behind the school——

There, a kendo competition hosted by the Kendo Club is being held.

And when Gao Yuan and others came to the big playground, they saw that there were all kinds of venues, and most of them were large-scale activities that occupied a relatively large area——

For example, going on stage for a prize-winning quiz, or setting up an open-air stage for performances and other such activities.

And because these fields are very wide and smooth, Gao Yuan saw the field on the far side of the playground, where someone was engaged in a kendo duel.

In this regard, it is natural that Takato knows that there is his destination. If everything goes well, he should be able to meet Hattori Heiji here...

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan, led by Tie Zhuyu, soon came to the side of the field.

And after arriving here, it can be said that it is reasonable, Gao Yuan saw two other acquaintances——

Kashiwagi Shion and Matsunaga Shion.

Among them, Kashiwagi Shion held a signboard with the words "kendo competition" in his hand, and greeted the flow of people coming and going, hoping that they could actively participate in this event.

And Matsunaga Ziyuan still looked shy, a little timid, hiding at the table behind Kashiwagi Shiyin, with her head lowered, as if she was doing record work——

"Actually, it's a 'kendo competition', and it's more like an activity to encourage everyone to experience the fun of kendo."

After coming here, Tie Zhuyu couldn't help but began to explain to Gao Yuan, and then she waved to Baimu Shiyin and the others, saying hello:

"Shiyin, Ziyuan, thank you for your hard work!"

"Ah, Zhu Yu, it's nothing..."

Bai Mu Shiyin responded first, and at the same time noticed Gao Yuan who was following Tie Zhuyu, so she couldn't help saying in surprise:
"Wise Detective! Are you here?"

Hearing this, Matsunaga Ziyuan, who had lowered her head timidly at the side, couldn't help raising her head, and after responding to Tie Zhuyu, she couldn't help but gestured to Gao Yuan, but immediately lowered her head again.

"Well...something..."

As for this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but simply replied, and then his eyes began to look for the trace of Hattori Heiji in the crowd nearby.

"Zhu Yu, your brooch..."

At this moment, Baimu Shiyin quickly noticed the brooch that Tie Zhuyu was wearing in front of him, which was given by Gao Yuan, so he couldn't help asking:

"I haven't seen you wearing it before... and you obviously didn't have it just now..."

"It's a gift from wise brother."

With a faint smile, Tie Zhuyu replied.

As for this, Baimu Shiyin couldn't help but nodded in surprise, but she didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

However, then she seemed to be unable to help but think of something, and she couldn't help asking Gao Yuan:
"Detective wise, that time in the jewelry store in the shopping mall... Could it be that you were just picking out gifts for Zhu Yu?"

"what?"

Hearing Baimu Shiyin's question, Gao Yuan came back to his senses for a while, and said thoughtfully:

"Oh, I had this kind of thought at the time... But it would happen that you bought the style I wanted."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Baimu Shiyin couldn't help saying, and Tie Zhuyu seemed to be a little interested in the conversation between the two, so he couldn't help asking Baimu Shiyin what was going on, so Baimu Shiyin bought it in the mall before the concert. He whispered to Tie Zhuyu what happened to the props used in the performance.

As for these things, the city mound jadeite on the side seemed to be very interested, and quietly moved to the side to listen, and then couldn't help but look thoughtfully at the brooch in front of Tie Zhuyu again——

Sensitive intuition made Chengzhong Jade always have an illusion, feeling that the brooch sent from her hand seemed to be a little different at the moment.

However, compared to the conversation of Tie Zhuyu and the others at this time, Gao Yuan's gaze continued to scan the surrounding crowd back and forth, wanting to start looking for Hattori Heiji.

Then, as if he felt something, Gao Yuan suddenly turned his eyes to the two who were wearing protective gear on the stage at the moment, and the two who had just started to fight—

The difference from just now is that before coming over, the two people on the field should be inexperienced laymen, and they didn't wear much protective gear. They were just fighting on the field under the command of a male referee.

And now, following the end of those two people, the two people who walked onto the stage at this time were wearing extremely professional protective gear, and their starting posture...

Although Gao Yuan doesn't know the various schools of Japanese kendo very well, but just looking at it for a while, he feels that there are many ways in it, and neither of them should be common hands.

In this regard, although the faces of the two could not be seen clearly because of the protective gear on their faces, at a glance, Gao Yuan felt that one of them seemed to be Hattori Heiji!
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but moved to Matsunaga Ziyuan, who was doing registration work at a table, and asked:
"Which two people are on the field now?"

"Ah... yes..."

Faced with Gao Yuan's sudden inquiry, Matsunaga Ziyuan seemed to be taken aback, then lowered her head timidly, and began to flip through the registration form in front of her, counting from right to left, counting carefully, and soon pointed to the registration form in front of her. two names—

"Okita Souji... and... Hattori Heiji..."

——"Okay, the duel has already begun..."

Hearing these two names came from Matsunaga Ziyuan, Gao Yuan felt a little helpless and thought, so he could only stay here and wait for their game to end——

Fortunately, with protective gear, it shouldn't be easy to get injured.

Yuan Shan and Ye were too worried.

"Huh? Souji Okita and Heiji Hattori?"

Hearing the same two names, Kashiwagi Shiyin couldn't help pulling away from the topic she was talking about just now, and moved to Matsunaga Ziyuan in a little surprise, looked at the register in front of her, and said in surprise:
"These two seed players in the high school kendo competition will appear at our school celebration at the same time? Don't they go to school?"

Originally, the tone was slightly normal, but in the end, due to the strange focus of Kashiwagi Shiyin, no one answered for a while.

And Tie Zhuyu was silent for a while, watching the ongoing competition on the stage, he couldn't help saying:
"Sure enough...they have all improved a lot compared to the last game. Sure enough, it's because they were absent from the game at the same time before. Did you find a reason to compare this time?"

"It doesn't count? After all, the reward given by the minister for this event should be a rare treasure for those who learn swordsmanship, right?"

Baimu Shiyin couldn't help saying:

"After all, the minister originally planned to use this method to rationally appropriate the things bought with the department's funds... But now it seems that he should give it away."

Interestingly, Kashiwagi Shion said so.

"That's right... The minister also deliberately chose to hold the event today instead of tomorrow, which happens to be the weekend, because he thought that there would be no seed players from other schools to compete with him."

Tie Zhuyu couldn't help agreeing.

"Hey? What's going on?"

Regarding the conversation between the two, Gao Yuan asked in a daze.

"Brother wise, you probably haven't carefully read the detailed introduction of this kendo competition, have you? Simply put, those who can beat the crowd in this competition will eventually get a book that has been personally annotated by the kendo master. Kendo Notes!"

Tie Zhuyu couldn't help explaining...
