Stay away from Conan

"Sorry, I'm late."

The night after the bus robbery ended, after confirming that the situation on Mitani Hiruko's side was normal, and at the same time he also confirmed that Belmod's side would not attack Xiao Ai so soon, he calmed down his emotions for the time being. After taking care of Xiao Ai's affairs, taking Xiao Ai home and letting him stay in the basement tonight, Gao Yuan continued his original schedule for the day at night -

Putting on a light blue suit that actually looked gray, Gao Yuan arrived in front of a newly completed white castle building that looked like a classic style before the sky turned gray.

This is the Acupido Art Theater.

And here, Shirozuka Hisui, who had made an appointment with Takato, was wearing a white noble evening dress, standing quietly by a pillar in front of the Abeido Art Theater, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

In this regard, seeing Gao Yuan appear, a faint smile appeared on Shirozuka Jade's face, looking very dignified and elegant, but she could not suppress her playful nature and replied to Gao Yuan:

"I thought you wouldn't come, brother Gao Yuan!"

In this way, seeing the reaction of the girl in front of him, which was a bit different from the Chengzuka Jade he usually saw, Gao Yuan couldn't help but frowned uneasily, but then he didn't explain too much and said:

"It shouldn't have started yet, right? Let's go!"

As he said that, it seemed that as the leader of the trip, Takato was walking in front, letting Shirozuka Hisui follow him, walking towards the door of Abeido Art Theater——

"Of course, don't forget to explain to me what exactly is going on!"

"yes!"

With a sweet smile, Shirozuka Jade responded, as if some of his tricks were successful, and just like that, he followed Gao Yuan's pace and came together to the theater designed like a European palace——

It is obviously a newly built building, but it looks like it has a long history.

In this regard, Gao Yuan always felt a bit nondescript when looking at the building in front of him. This feeling...

Just like when I first saw the architectural style of the "SONOKO" hotel, it was like forcibly copying the style of the country directly here, completely ignoring the sense of coordination with the surrounding buildings——

It can only be said that the owners of these buildings seem to have the same aesthetic...

In this way, when Gao Yuan and Shirozuka Jade came to the door, Shirozuka Jade took out the two tickets that had been prepared long ago from a high-end backpack he carried with him. After being reviewed by the door staff, the two He was taken to a counter on the left.

At this time, a receptionist in a dark suit smiled at them, pointed to a notebook on the counter and said:

"If you can, please write your name here."

"This is?"

In this way, faced with such a process, Gao Yuan, who thought he was accompanying Shirozuka Hisui to come here to watch the show normally and deal with something by the way, was a little surprised.

The young lady kept her dignified smile and replied:

"This is the VIP sign-in book. Please be sure to leave your name on it."

"Oh I got it."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan glanced at Chengzuka Jade beside him with some understanding. It seemed that the source of this commission was somewhat unusual...

With this thought in mind, Gao Yuan nodded in front of Chengzuka Jade, who always looked calm, picked up the pen next to him and wrote the signature "Akechi Gao Yuan" in straight Chinese characters.

Later, Shirozuka Jade followed Gao Yuan's name and also signed her full name——

But after looking at the handwriting written by Gao Yuan, Shirozuka Jade glanced at Gao Yuan thoughtfully, but didn't say much.

After the receptionist confirmed, the two left the counter and were about to walk inside when they noticed a TV set mounted on the opposite wall.

On the TV screen, the appearance of the stage before the performance seemed to be being broadcast here through real-time broadcast. The stage was lined with chairs and music stands, but of course there was no one on it.

At the same time, next to the TV is a huge glass cabinet, which seems to contain various activities of the Acupido Art Theater. The most conspicuous subtitle is the poster of the "Opening Celebration Concert".

Above, with black characters on a white background...

"Song font"? Or what should be called "Ming Dynasty font" in Japan, it reads "New talent, first encounter - first intimate contact", and the name of "New Imperial City Symphony Orchestra".

Below it, in large fonts, is written "Mahler's Symphony No. 9 in D major".

Finally, there is the picture in the middle of the poster, which shows the figure of a beautiful woman playing the violin under the spotlight, and the profile of a high-spirited young man waving a conductor's baton——

"He is Asabuki Akira."

At this moment, seeing Gao Yuan looking at the contents of this poster, Shirozuka Jade finally spoke.

"who?"

Gao Yuan asked slightly confused.

——"Mr. Akechi, you don't know Mr. Asabuki Ken, why are you here to attend this concert?"

But at this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Gao Yuan, which made Shirozuka Jade, who was about to speak for the next explanation, stop speaking, but stood beside Gao Yuan with a slight calmness.

In this way, Gao Yuan looked a little helpless after hearing the voice of the visitor——

"As expected of the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group, in this kind of occasion... Could it be that the completion of this art theater also had the help of the Suzuki Group?"

Turning around, Gao Yuan greeted casually, and saw that the person standing behind him with her hands on her hips was Suzuki Sonoko.

"Yes. This Haido Art Theater was also funded by our Suzuki Group... But my parents didn't have time to come to the concert tonight, so I was alone..."

Facing Gao Yuan, Suzuki Sonoko, who was wearing a silk evening dress with a shiny silk luster and a thin shawl on her shoulders -

At this moment, she was completely different from the usual school uniform or casual clothes. She looked like a girl with a thorough background and good upbringing.

But at this moment, she was also talking to Gao Yuan in a tone that seemed to be closer to him.

But then, Suzuki Sonoko noticed that the girl next to Gao Yuan looked younger than Tetsumoha, probably only a junior high school student, and looked as delicate as a doll, and Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but want to find out the truth, and was about to ask.

As a result, Gao Yuan first saw through Suzuki Sonoko's thoughts and explained to Suzuki Sonoko:

"This is Shirozuka Hisui. I am her guardian."

"Guardian?"

Hearing this word, Suzuki Sonoko was slightly stunned, but then she thought of Xiao Ai who lived in Gao Yuan's house, so she nodded with some understanding, feeling that she could understand, and then walked to Gao Yuan with a little helplessness, patted Gao Yuan on the shoulder, and sighed slightly, as if everything was self-evident...
