Stay away from Conan

"Oh? Hattori Heiji?"

Listening to Gao Yuan's words, Okita Souji couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but soon, in response to Gao Yuan's suggestion, Okita Souji shook his head and refused:

"Forget it, there is no need to compete with him now. There will be a kendo competition in Hakodate soon, and I will compete with him in a formal competition then."

With that said, Chief Okita looked at Gao Yuan and said instead:

"Then since you still have something to do, I won't bother you... However, it seems that we haven't kept our contact information. Since we have met, let's just keep it. Since Hattori Heiji will also appear in the next game in Hakodate, then Will you go to watch the battle?"

"The game in Hakodate?"

——Hakodate City, Hokkaido?

Listening to Okita Souji's words, Takato's impression was that there was no plot mentioning this match in the original work. After all, if I remember correctly, the case related to the kendo match took place in Osaka.

Therefore, Hattori Heiji will also participate in the competition in Hakodate mentioned by Okita Souji, which is just a normal competition...

Of course, even so, I have no impression of this and cannot judge that a case will not occur.

There is a competition in which Hattori Heiji participates, so it is very likely that something will happen.

Therefore, Takato, who was thinking a little divergently, finally could only say about the competition mentioned by Souji Okita:

"It depends on the situation. I should go if I have time."

After saying this, Gao Yuan exchanged contact information with Okita Souji, and then said goodbye. Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai got in the car and left, while Okita Souji saw Xiao Ai following Gao Yuan. After the appearance, he was a little thoughtful, but he didn't ask anything, and he said carelessly to the other high school students with him:

"Okay, let's continue training!"

Therefore, this chance encounter was just a minor incident for Okita Souji and the others, and no one paid much attention to it.

On the other hand, Xiao Ai, who was sitting on the other side of the car, finally couldn't help but asked:

"The high school student just now... named Okita Souji, his appearance..."

"Yes, it's very similar to Kudo Shinichi."

In response, Gao Yuan naturally replied:

"Hattori Heiji also knows this, so I'm not too worried about Kudo Shinichi returning to his original appearance in Kyoto..."

"Because there is someone in Kyoto who looks similar to Kudo Shinichi, so even if Kudo Shinichi is traveling in Kyoto now, it can be explained that he is actually another person..."

Soon, Xiao Ai understood what Gao Yuan meant, and suddenly she was not too worried about Kudo Shinichi staying in Kyoto in his original appearance, as long as Kudo Shinichi himself was not exposed.

As for the fact that Chief Okita looks similar to Kudo Shinichi...

Perhaps because he has already met Kuroba Kaito, Xiao Ai is not surprised by this kind of thing.

Moreover, compared to the similarity between Kuroba Kaito and Kudo Shinichi, Okita Souji is so similar to Kudo Shinichi, and seems to be somewhat similar to Hattori Heiji, so Xiao Ai does not doubt Okita very much. Is there a blood relationship between Souji and Kudo Shinichi?

So, this topic was put aside for the time being. Next, Xiao Ai didn't ask much about what Gao Yuan was going to do. Anyway, Xiao Ai also knew that Gao Yuan would come to Kyoto early this morning. It seemed that there was some case to be handled, but in the middle, because of "Genji" The guys from Hotaru kidnapped him, which made Gao Yuan put aside the other case to deal with the matter of "Hotaru Genji". And now that the "Hotaru Genji" incident has been dealt with, Gao Yuan must have to deal with what he originally wanted to do next.

So, just like that, sitting in the car, Gao Yuan quickly drove to a mansion called Yajima Residence in Higashiyama District, Kyoto.

Looking at this completely classical Japanese-style mansion building in Kyoto, Takato parked the car outside the mansion, rang the doorbell, and then saw a young man wearing a kimono walking out of the mansion. After coming out and seeing the visiting Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai, when he was about to ask them about their purpose, Gao Yuan asked first:

"Is this Mr. Yajima Toshiya? It was Miss Ooka Momiji who introduced me here. Regarding the Satsuki Society... I want to discuss something with you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Akechi Takato, and I am a detective."

"detective……"

Hearing Takato's self-introduction, the man named Yajima Junya seemed a little surprised, but then he couldn't help but said:

"Miss Ooka told me yesterday that a friend of hers would come to visit me, but I didn't expect that he turned out to be a detective..."

Saying this, Yajima Shunya couldn't help but ask about Gao Yuan's purpose:

"Specifically...what do you want to discuss with me?"

It seemed that he had vaguely noticed something. When Yajima Shunya said this, he looked at Gao Yuan with a serious look.

Regarding this, Gao Yuan was not ambiguous and stated his intention straightforwardly——

"Of course, it's about the song from the Satsuki Club."

At this moment, as Yajima Shunya took the initiative to ask this kind of question, Gao Yuan could not help but chuckle, saying this with a sense of taking everything under his control.

Suddenly, after hearing the other party's words and that confident smile, Yajima Junya's expression became silent. He did not expect that the other party would say this so straightforwardly.

In response, seeing that Yajima Shunya did not respond immediately, Takato continued:

"I think... if I'm not wrong, you should have known the truth about Mr. Nagoro Shikao's disappearance, right? I'm here to uncover the truth, so I need your help."

Hearing this, Yajima Shunya's expression was a little uncertain, but after hesitating and thinking for a moment, he sneered at Gao Yuan's proposal:

"Hehe, I don't know what you are talking about, and there is nothing I can help you with. If you are also a karuta enthusiast, I can talk to you more. But as a detective, I don't have much to say to the detective."

As a result, Yajima Shunya couldn't help but show a hint of wanting to see him off.

But in response, Gao Yuan continued indifferently:

"Really? But I heard that Nichimi TV will hold and record a karuta competition to introduce the Satsuki Association, but it was proposed by you, the champion of the last Satsuki Association. Moreover, for the recording of this competition, you also specifically requested that the karuta of the Satsuki Association be brought out...

"The purpose of doing this, do you think you can hide it from others? Since I can find out, do you think...

"Would President Achiha not realize it?"

At this point, Gao Yuan's expression gradually became serious:

"I don't know what you are planning, but you have to understand that you may not be safe if you do this..."
