Stay away from Conan

Just like that, the episode of giving away props ended.

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

There, a kendo competition sponsored by the kendo club was being held.

When Gao Yuan and others came to the big playground, they saw that there were various venues arranged here, and most of them were large-scale activities that occupied a relatively large area——

For example, go on stage to conduct quizzes with prizes, or set up an outdoor stage for performances and other such activities.

Since these fields were very wide and smooth, Gao Yuan saw someone on the field at the far edge of the playground where a kendo duel was going on.

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

With this in mind, Gao Yuan, led by Tie Zhuyu, quickly arrived at the site.

After arriving here, it can be said that Gao Yuan saw two other acquaintances——

Kashiwagi Shion and Matsunaga Shion.

Among them, Kashiwagi Shion was holding a sign with the words "Kendo Competition Event" written on it, greeting the people coming and going, hoping that they could actively participate in this event.

Matsunaga Shion, on the other hand, still looked shy and timid, hiding at the table behind Kashiwagi Shion, with her head lowered, as if she was doing the work of recording——

"Actually, it's called a 'kendo competition'. It's more like an event that encourages everyone to experience the fun of kendo."

After arriving here, Tie Zhuyu couldn't help but start to explain to Gao Yuan, although she waved her hands towards Kashiwagi Shiyin and the others and said hello:

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

"Ah, Zhu Yu, this is nothing..."

Kashiwagi Shiyin was the first to respond. At the same time, he also noticed Gao Yuan who was following Tie Zhuyu, so he couldn't help but said in surprise:

"Detective Akechi! Are you here too?"

Hearing this, Matsunaga Shion, who was timid with her head down at the side, couldn't help but raise her head, responded to Tie Zhuyu, and at the same time couldn't help but signal to Gao Yuan, but then immediately lowered her head.

"Well...there's something going on..."

To this, Takato couldn't help but simply replied, and then began to look for traces of Hattori Heiji in the nearby crowd.

"Zhu Yu, this brooch..."

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

"I've never seen you wear it before... and you obviously didn't wear it just now..."

"It's a gift from Brother Mingzhi."

With a smile, Tie Zhuyu replied.

In response to this, Kashiwagi Shion couldn't help but nodded in confusion, but didn't feel anything was wrong.

However, then she seemed to be unable to help but remember something, and couldn't help asking Gao Yuan:

"Detective Akechi, we were in the jewelry store in the mall just now...were you just picking out gifts for Moroha?"

"ah?"

Hearing Kashiwagi Shiyin's question, Gao Yuan came back to his senses and said thoughtfully:...

"Oh, I had this idea at the time...but then you guys would just buy the style I wanted."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Kashiwagi Shion couldn't help but say, and Tie Zhuyu seemed to be somewhat interested in the conversation between the two, so he couldn't help but ask Kashiwagi Shion what was going on, so Kashiwagi Shion bought the things he bought in the mall before the concert. He whispered to Tie Zhuyu what happened during the performance.

As for these things, Chengzhong Jade on the side also seemed to be very interested, and silently came to the side to listen, and then couldn't help but thoughtfully observe the brooch in front of Tie Zhuyu again -

Due to his sensitive intuition, Shirozuka Jade always had the illusion that the brooch given out by him seemed a little different at this moment.

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

Then, as if he felt something, Gao Yuan suddenly turned his eyes towards the two people on the stage who were wearing protective gear and just started to compete——

The difference from before was that before they came over, the two people on the field were probably laymen with little experience. They didn't wear much protective gear. They were just competing on the field under the command of a boy who was the referee.

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

Although Gao Yuan doesn't know much about the various schools of Japanese Kendo, but after just a brief look, he felt that there are many methods in it, and neither of them should be ordinary players.

In this regard, although the faces of the two people could not be seen clearly because of the protective gear on their faces, at a glance, Takato felt that one of them seemed to be Hattori Heiji!

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but approached Matsunaga Shion who was doing registration work at a table nearby, and asked:

"Who are the two people on the court now?"

"Ah...yes..."

Faced with Gao Yuan's sudden inquiry, Matsunaga Shion seemed startled, 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 quickly pointed out the items in it. Two names——

"Soji Okita... and... Hattori Heiji..."

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

Hearing these two names coming from Matsunaga Shion's mouth, Gao Yuan thought a little helplessly, so he could only stay here and wait for their game to end——

Fortunately, if you have protective gear, it should be less likely to be injured.

Yuan Shan and Ye were worried too much.

"Huh? Souji Okita and Heiji Hattori?"

Hearing the same two names, Kashiwagi Shion couldn't help but pull away from the topic she was talking about just now. She approached Matsunaga Shion with a little surprise, looked at the registration book in front of her, and said in surprise:

"These two high school students' kendo competition seeded contestants will appear at our school anniversary at the same time? Don't they go to school?"

His tone was somewhat normal, but in the end Kashiwagi Shion's point was a bit strange, and no one could answer her for a while.

Tie Zhuyu was silent for a while, watching the competition going on on the stage, and then couldn't help but say:

"Sure enough... they have both improved a lot compared to the last game. Sure enough, it's because they missed the game at the same time before, so they found an excuse to compete this time?"

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

The sound of cypress poetry can't help but say:

"After all, the minister originally planned to use this method to reasonably keep the things bought with department funds as his own... But now it seems that he will give it away."

Somewhat interestingly, Kashiwagi Shion said this.

"Yes... the minister also deliberately chose to hold the event today instead of tomorrow, which happens to be the weekend. He also thought that there would be no seed players from other schools to compete with him."

Tie Zhuyu couldn't help but echoed.

"Hey? What's going on?"

Gao Yuan asked confused about the conversation between the two.

"Brother Mingzhi, you haven't read the detailed introduction of this kendo competition carefully, right? To put it simply, the person who can defeat the others in this competition will eventually get a book annotated by the kendo master himself. Where are the kendo notes!”

Tie Zhuyu couldn't help but explain...
