Stay away from Conan

Chapter 203 Villa Dinner

"Kuroba-san, why did you call me here?"

Gao Yuan came to the room and saw a young man sitting at the table in the room, with his hands behind his head and his feet on the table, looking relaxed and content - it was Kuroba Kaito.

Just now, because he received an email from Kuroba Kaito, Gao Yuan took Tie Zhuyu home and then came to the "Blue Parrot" billiards bar not too far away.

When Kuroba Kaito saw Takato arriving, he put his feet down from the table, stood up, and said with a evil smile:

"Mr. Mingzhi, you have to thank me properly this time!"

"What's the meaning?"

The sudden words made Gao Yuan very puzzled.

"Do you remember what happened when we first met?"

Kuroba Kaito said.

"of course I remember."

Gao Yuan replied.

"At that time, you unlocked my code as a detective, but you actually wanted to ask me about a six-carat blue diamond, right?"

Kuroba Kaito said.

"That's right. But wasn't this matter settled at that time? That diamond was the one you wanted to steal when you sent the notice?"

Slightly confused, Takato didn't quite understand why Kuroba Kaito suddenly mentioned this matter.

"Although I don't know how the conclusion of that day will help you. But after you read this, you will know the purpose of my coming to you!"

Kuroba Kaito said, handing a printed photo to Gao Yuan.

After receiving the information, Gao Yuan started to read it, while Kuroba Kaito also explained:

"Tonight, a charity auction dinner will be held in a wealthy family's villa. This is a photo of the items sold at the auction."

While listening, Gao Yuan flipped through the pictures and materials in front of him, most of which were antique collectibles.

Gao Yuan was a little confused about this, so he continued to browse until he saw a photo of a gemstone, which made Gao Yuan frown—it was a blue diamond!

"The blue diamond, judging from its appearance, should be around six carats."

Kuroba Kaito smiled and clapped his hands at the same time. Another stack of photos was transformed into his hands by magic means, and he took out a photo from it and put it on the top and handed it to Gao Yuan.

"Moreover, this person is also on the guest list of this charity auction dinner."

Hearing this, he looked around and saw that Gao Yuan actually knew the person in the photo - it was Masaru Saeki!

So Gao Yuan took the photo and frowned deeply.

"This dinner will start at eight o'clock in the evening, and I will enter the villa as a guest."

Kuroba Kaito smiled and said, "How about it? Are you interested in going to see it together tonight?"

Looking at the photo of the diamond and the fact that Saeki Masaru was among the guests, Gao Yuan asked curiously:

"Do you have any detailed information about this diamond?"

"No."

Kuroba Kaito shook his head and said, "Originally, I went for another of the lots, but Grandpa Terai accidentally discovered this diamond after he went to check out the location."

With that said, Kuroba Kaito pulled out another photo from the photo in Gao Yuan's hand, which was a jade necklace.

"Can I get in to this kind of banquet held in a rich man's villa?"

Gao Yuan said doubtfully.

"Of course, just follow me!"

Kuroba Kaito smiled.

In this regard, Gao Yuan did not ask any more questions and agreed to the proposal to attend the banquet with Kuroba Kaito. After all, this matter was indeed curious.

So, before eight o'clock in the evening, Gao Yuan followed Kuroba Kaito to the outside of the villa where the charity auction dinner was held.

"Kaito! This way!"

As soon as they arrived outside the villa, a female high school student wearing a student uniform saw Kuroba Kaito, waved and shouted at him, and walked quickly towards Kuroba Kaito - it was Kuroba Kaito's childhood sweetheart, Nakamori Aoko.

Next to Nakamori Aoko is a middle-aged man with a mustache, Nakamori Ginzo, a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Section 2.

Seeing these two people, Gao Yuan finally understood why Kuroba Kaito didn't come in disguise today. It seemed that Kuroba Kaito came to the banquet with them. Therefore, the so-called "just follow him" refers to this - as an entourage of guests attending the meeting.

Watching Kuroba Kaito step forward to say hello to Nakamori Aoko, Takato still stood where he was, feeling that Kuroba Kaito might have some other motive for calling him over. After all, Terai Kinosuke wanted to visit the store today but didn't come.

"Huh? Mr. Akechi?"

While he was thinking, a female voice came from beside him. Following the sound, Gao Yuan saw a girl in a dress walking to him and asking, and behind the girl, followed by a man in his fifties. After seeing Gao Yuan, the 20-year-old man also came up to say hello:

"Mr. Mingzhi, long time no see."

"President Wakura? Miss Misa?"

Slightly surprised, Gao Yuan called out their names - they were met in Fifteen Nights Village, Wakura Yonghai, the president of Wakura Group, and his youngest daughter, Wakura Misa!

"Mr. Mingzhi is also here for the dinner?"

Misa Wakura asked politely.

"kindness."

Nodding, Gao Yuan responded.

"That's just right, let's go in together!"

Wakura Yonghai couldn't help but invite, "I think Dr. Hasegawa should have arrived as well."

Gao Yuan did not refuse and followed them into the villa. On the side, Kuroba Kaito smiled happily when he saw Gao Yuan following others into the villa.

"Dr. Hasegawa...is this Dr. Hasegawa Ryuichi?"

Following Wakura Yonghai into the banquet hall on the second floor of the villa, Gao Yuan couldn't help but asked with a guilty conscience.

"That's natural."

Wakura Yukai smiled and said, "He complained to me before that he wanted to see you Detective Akechi again, but he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart and couldn't take the initiative to come to you, so I think today is a good time."

"ah?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little helpless - after all, he sent his son to prison, who knew why he wanted to see him!

"Chairman Wakura!"

While he was talking, a middle-aged man came up and spoke.

"Dr. Hasegawa."

Wakura Yonghai replied and saw that the person coming was Dr. Hasegawa Ryuichi.

Hasegawa Ryuichi stepped forward, briefly exchanged greetings with Wakura Yukai, then looked at Gao Yuan and said, "Mr. Akechi, long time no see."

"Hasegawa...doctor."

Gao Yuan greeted slightly awkwardly.

"Don't be so nervous!"

When Hasegawa Ryuichi saw this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What happened to Ryosuke is his own fault. I can't blame Mr. Akechi! That is, regarding the news about Asami Taro, I went back and thought about it later, and I really can't remember anything more." There are so many things. To be honest, I am really curious about why Asami, who was such a genius back then, disappeared after graduation..."

"Mr. Wise?"

During the conversation, a female voice came from behind Gao Yuan. Seeing that someone else came to greet Gao Yuan, Hasegawa Ryuichi and Wakura and his daughter waved to Gao Yuan and walked into the banquet hall first.

Just after politely saying goodbye to the three of them, Gao Yuan was about to turn around and respond to the person behind him, when a pair of arms suddenly hugged Gao Yuan's arms, and a head of long golden hair appeared in front of Gao Yuan's eyes - Hanada Emi!

"I didn't expect Mr. Akechi to be here too!"

Smiling, Hanada Emi approached Gao Yuan and asked with her face a little close.

Looking at the smile of Hanada Emi, who was so close, a feeling of fear swept through Gao Yuan's body, and his heart began to beat nervously - the beautiful smile, in Gao Yuan's eyes at this moment, always felt that there was an inexplicable meaning!
