On the possibility of Gin's younger brother taking his older brother away

After getting Rum's consent, Mojito gave Gin the preparations made by the Second Investigation Department to arrest Kidd.

This is not a difficult task for Mojito, who has been undercover for many years.

Gin quickly browsed the information sent by Mojito.

At this time, Cohen found a building suitable for sniping, and he sent the location to Gin for confirmation.

"Gin, there is a sniper point 500 meters away from the hotel."

"...Cohen is guarding the sniper point."

Gin integrated the current intelligence and quickly made a judgment: "Ramos sneaked into the venue to provide support and monitor Okawa Tomoo's actions."

"clear."

Afterwards, Gin finalized the mission process and various details.

When everyone came out of the bar, it was another moonlit night.

Chihara Aki returned to her residence and had dinner with a bento bought from a convenience store.

He sat on the bed and hesitantly dialed Yanagihara Miya Aya's number.

"Sister Ling, I'm just too tired today."

Qian Yuanqiu didn't know how to explain what happened today. He didn't want to mention that Gin was injured, so he could only give a general explanation.

"Did you see something again?"

Yanagihara Miya Aya naturally did not believe this explanation. She knew that the trigger for Chihara Aki's illness was related to his past experiences.

"..."

Qian Yuanqiu remained silent.

Although he didn't want to tell the truth, he didn't want to deceive her either.

"It seems you don't want to tell me."

This silence made Yanagihara Miya Aya understand her brother's thoughts.

She didn't want to keep asking and cause Qian Yuanqiu further harm, but she was really worried, so she brought up the topic of daytime.

"Aqiu, about what I said during the day..."

"I know, that's why I called you to ask you the time and place to meet."

Qian Yuanqiu muttered softly. He knew very well that Yanagihara Miya Aya was concerned about him. He just wanted her to stay away from these things.

Yanagihara Miya Aya chuckled and said, "Then I'll see you at the Gray Hotel the day after tomorrow."

"Huh?" Qian Yuanqiu asked in surprise, "Why did you choose that place?"

"Because my grandfather's good friend held an auction on the top floor of the hotel, and I was invited to participate. My grandfather asked me to take the opportunity to visit the old man."

"No! The organization was there that day too!"

Qian Yuanqiu refused firmly: "Change the place or change the time."

Yanagihara Miya Aya also rarely showed her toughness: "In that case, I will go even more."

"Sister Ling!"

"Ah Qiu, I'm not afraid of anything at all, except you and Ah Zhen, whom I missed too many times."

“…He won’t show up at the auction.”

Qian Yuanqiu hesitated to speak. He couldn't bear to keep refusing, so he had to compromise.

The voice was barely audible, but Liuyuan Gong Ling still caught it keenly. She smiled and said, "But I'm going to see Qiu."

"That's it again."

Qian Yuanqiu curled up into a ball and made a buzzing sound: "I am not a child anymore. This kind of task is easy for me."

"I won't interfere with your actions. Come back to me after your mission is completed?"

Until the end, Chihara Aki was unable to convince Yanagihara Miya Aya to change the meeting place, but at least she promised him that she would not show up at the auction.

After the call ended, Qianyuan looked at the ceiling worriedly.

He tossed and turned in annoyance, making the bed a mess, but ultimately he couldn't resist the physical and mental exhaustion and fell asleep in annoyance.

----

On the day of the auction, Chihara Aki entered the venue early wearing the same suit as last time.

The nature of this auction is charitable, the organizer is in a high position of power, and many people with ulterior motives come to support it.

"I've already arrived."

After entering the venue, Chihara Aki contacted Gin through headphones.

The earphones are embedded, and the exposed parts are hidden by the semi-long hair.

Tomoo Okawa had not arrived yet. Chihara Aki took the red wine handed to her by the waiter and observed the plainclothes policemen behaving vigilantly in the crowd.

This is too obvious.

Qian Yuanqiu complained in his heart and turned his gaze to the crowd.

Compared to the less professional members of the Second Investigation Division, there were also lurkers in the venue whose actions were more natural and whose disguise abilities were even better.

After observation, Qian Yuanqiu found that these people had nothing in common with the plainclothes officers from the Second Investigation Section. Rather than being newbies and veterans, it would be more accurate to say that the two sides belonged to different organizations.

The latter are more like intelligence personnel who have been specially trained in disguise.

Qian Yuanqiu pondered the origins of these people and the possible impact they might have on the mission.

At this time, a young man and woman walked up to Qian Yuan Aki.

From the outside, they looked like young ladies and young masters from wealthy families, who were brought out by their family elders to see the world.

"Thank you for chatting with Sachiko."

A sweet female voice sounded, followed by a male voice: "It's my honor to chat with Sachiko."

"When do you think Mr. Kidd will show up? Sachiko really wants to see him~"

"Eh? Sachiko is too cunning, do you want Kid to fall in love with you?"

"Hahaha, that's annoying~"

Qian Yuanqiu really couldn't stand this atmosphere, so she turned around and left this sickly sweet space.

Since entering the venue, guests can be heard talking about Kaito Kidd everywhere.

Even people in high positions cannot avoid the pleasure of gossip.

Qian Yuanqiu didn't know much about this thief, he only knew that he was a thief who had returned after a long absence. He specialized in stealing various gems, and he judged that he was not an important person.

I had no interest in him at first, but after hearing others praising him again and again, I couldn't help but become a little curious.

Taking advantage of the free time before Okawa Tomoo arrived, Chihara Aki asked the waiter for an auction list and turned to the page where Kidd announced that he was going to steal the gems.

This is a rare blue gemstone, round and translucent, named...

"Tears of Hestia!"

Qian Yuanqiu looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was a girl wearing a headband.

At this moment, she was walking towards this side while introducing the gems to the people around her.

Wherever you go, you'll meet the protagonist...

Qian Yuanqiu frowned imperceptibly and prepared to stay away from this place of trouble.

The childish voice of a child stopped him in his tracks again: "Ah, it's the big brother from the hotel that day!"

Qian Yuanqiu pretended not to hear and quickened his pace to leave. However, Conan, who came running forward, stopped him and said, "Big brother, long time no see."

Difficult kid.

Qian Yuanqiu put on a business-like smile and asked in a good-natured manner: "Are you calling me?"

"Well, big brother, have you forgotten that we were at the dock not long ago...ah!"

Maori Kogoro put away his fist, touched his head and apologized to Chihara Aki embarrassedly: "Sir, the child is too naughty, sorry to bother you."

"fine."

Since someone blocked the protagonist, Qian Yuanqiu naturally pretended nothing had happened and turned away.

Could it be that the auras don’t match? This is the second time I’ve run into the protagonist, and it’s clearly not the time for him to appear.

It’s a pity that M didn’t pass the entire plot to him. If he could monitor the protagonist’s whereabouts, he could have avoided this big trouble in advance.

"Dad, come on, stop hitting Conan all the time."

Ran Mouri complained softly, bent down and picked up Conan to prevent him from being hit by Kogoro's poisonous punch again.

"Watch out for that brat. There are important people here. Be careful not to bump into someone you can't afford to offend."

Maori Kogoro stopped glaring at Conan in dissatisfaction and could not help but complain:

"Really, if you guys didn't insist on watching Kaito Kidd, I wouldn't even come to such a troublesome party."

"Okay, okay, I know most of the people here, so I'm here for you if you need anything."

Suzuki Sonoko tried to smooth things over and comfort her friend's father.

Kogoro Mori didn't say anything else. He snorted coldly and found a corner to taste the rare wine.

hateful.

Conan's attention was not at all on the quarrel. He stared at Chihara Aki's departing back with an unwilling look in his eyes.
