Stay away from Conan

Hokkaido, a large Japanese dry landscape garden on the outskirts of Sapporo——

"Father……"

A middle-aged man slowly came to a separate house in this courtyard. He bowed respectfully to the closed door and said something. Then he heard the person in the house respond calmly:

"Come in."

Immediately, after hearing such permission, the man continued to bow and responded respectfully, then stepped forward to open the door and walked in——

I saw that this place is actually a quiet room. Except for some simple furnishings, most of the space inside is empty of items. Among them, an old man wearing a kimono is sitting quietly in this quiet room. He was sitting on a cushion in the middle with his eyes closed, as if he was meditating.

As the man entered the quiet room, the old man with his eyes closed opened his eyes and looked at the visitor. The man who came in bowed slightly respectfully, as if out of habit. After the old man opened his eyes, Without too much nonsense, let’s start describing the situation:

"Father, the Ax River Consortium has roughly compiled a list of the collections. Please take a look."

As he said this, the man took out a book from his arms, held it in front of him with both hands, and then waited for the old man's signal before the man stepped forward and presented the book.

Therefore, after taking the book, the old man began to flip through the contents. In addition to a list of a series of items, the old man also had photos of the corresponding items for reference.

In this way, after flipping through a few pages, the old man nodded slightly, but then shook his head slightly. The man on the side was very puzzled. He didn't know what the old man's attitude towards these items was -

"Kon-sect, is this the list of important items related to Hijikata Toizo collected by the Hatsue Foundation?"

At this point, after briefly browsing the content and completely reading the list, the old man asked this question.

In response to this, the man Mitarai Konmune replied preparedly:

"Well, yes. Although the Ax River Consortium has not completely cleaned up these collections, the main collections have been counted, and most of the remaining ones should be just insignificant things."

So, after listening to this, the old man Mitarai Munexu looked indifferent, neither sad nor happy. He put the book beside him and said to Mitarashi Konmune:

"Then it seems that the Star Prism Sword that was once used by Hijikata Toshizo is not in the collection of the Hatsue Foundation. In that case, wait until the day of the auction and if the bidding exceeds the initial expectations, then give up. "

In this way, after Mitarai Soxu gave such an instruction very calmly, Mitarai Konsong naturally had no objection to Mitarai Soxu's decision, but it seemed that there were other circumstances. Mitarai Konsong did not directly respond to the matter. Seeing such a reaction, Mitarashi Munexu asked naturally:

"When else?"

"actually……"

Under such circumstances, Mitarai Konmune informed Mitarai Souahashi of another piece of news he had received at this moment:

"Recently, news has spread that there seems to be a clue about the treasure left by Mr. Keisaburo Atsue, the first head of the Atsue Consortium."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Mitarai Munexu asked out of curiosity:

"What kind of clue is it?"

"The clue seems to be a name called Dongwa Ronglong."

Mitarashi Konmune replied.

As for this name, Mitarai Munexu seemed to know something about it:

"The name of a knifemaker."

"That's right, so I was wondering whether the treasure... might have something to do with the knives forged by Dongwa Ronglong. And it just so happened that among the items auctioned by the Fujiang Consortium, there happened to be two knives belonging to this person. Forged by a swordsmith."

So, Mitarashi Konmune continued.

At this point, after listening to these remarks, Mitarai Munexuo was thoughtful, and then asked:

"Can you find the source?"

"This... seems to be the note left by the first head of the family that was recently discovered by the Ax River Consortium when sorting out their belongings..."

Mitarai Konsong quickly gave out the information he had.

In this regard, after hearing this, Mitarai Munexu thought for a while and suddenly smiled indifferently:

"The note left by the first head of the family? Humph, it didn't show up sooner or later, but at this juncture there appeared such a clue pointing to Keisaburo Hatue's treasure...

"Don't worry about it."

Speaking of the last word, Mitarai Munexuo said decisively.

In this way, Mitarai Konso, who was a little surprised to see that Mitarai Soxu was unmoved by this situation, naturally had nothing to say and had no choice but to say "yes". After that, Mitarai Soxu signaled that he could leave.

In this way, Mitarai Konsou had no choice but to obey, but just when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said nervously:

"By the way, father, there is one more thing..."

Speaking of this, Mitarai Konmune glanced at Mitarai Munexu, and seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping him, Mitarai Konmune looked a little depressed and continued:

"That person... Akechi Gaoyuan came to Sapporo..."

Mentioning Takato's name, Mitarai Konsune couldn't help but recall that he couldn't get any benefits from two fights with him before. However, he couldn't say anything about the other party's identity, and since that time, the other party had I'm not in Hokkaido, so I don't usually hear this name, but now...

In short, Mitarai Kinmune couldn't talk about Gao Yuan's name calmly, so he said it nervously.

Even so, after hearing Gao Yuan's name, Yutarai Souaki's expression was still calm as usual, and he said:

"What's the matter?"

"It seems... he also came because of the clue of the treasure of the Fujiang Group, and now... the eldest lady is with him."

"Oh? The treasure of the Fujiang Group?"

Hearing this reason, Yutarai Souaki seemed to be a little interested:

"This kind of news has been spread?"

After saying this, Yutarai Souaki thought for a while, and then said:

"Notify them that we have given up participating in the auction of the Fujiang Group. As for Gao Yuan... take me to see him..."

...

"Hey! Are you kidding? The old guy from the Siling Group... the old guy named Yutarai Souaki, doesn't he usually stay at home and don't get involved in anything? Why did the old guy appear as soon as I contacted the Siling Group with your identity, and he also saw that I was pretending?"

Tokyo, Akechi's house.

Shortly after the news of the Fujiang Group's auction was released, Gao Yuan and Kuroba Kaito made a preliminary plan. They were asking Kuroba Kaito to pretend to be himself and contact the Siling Group to see if they could use this opportunity to conduct an in-depth investigation into the Fujiang Group's auction. However, not long after, Kuroba Kaito was very depressed about the news sent by Gao Yuan, which surprised Gao Yuan a little...
