"Huh? Is that so?"

After listening to Toyama Kazuha's words, Takato roughly understood what happened, and he also seemed to want to understand that there were indeed other reasons for Hattori Heiji's special trip to Tokyo last night——

After all, the deadline for the "Sherlock Holmes Fan Tour" entry questionnaire review has not yet come.

Therefore, in response to Yuan Shan and Ye's request, Gao Yuan nodded and agreed:

"Okay, if he really is still in Tokyo, then I'll go find him."

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Mingzhi!"

On the other end of the phone, when they heard that Gao Yuan had agreed to the matter, Yuan Shan and Ye couldn't help but replied gratefully. Then after telling Gao Yuan a few words about what they knew, Yuan Shan and Ye were worried because they were about to go.

After class, I had no choice but to hang up the phone.

In this regard, after the call ended, Gao Yuan looked at the mobile phone in his hand and couldn't help but start thinking——

Is there a school holding a school anniversary these days?

If Hattori Heiji and Okita Souji of Izumi High School were both participating in the school anniversary competition, it probably wouldn't be for a school below high school, right?

So, it's a high school or university in Tokyo...

With this thought in mind, Gao Yuan turned around and walked towards Shirozuka Hisui. At the same time, he started to use his mobile phone to try to search for schools in Tokyo that were holding school celebrations in the past two days——

"Mr. Gao Yuan, what's the matter?"

Seeing that Gao Yuan had been searching for something on his phone after making the call, when the two came to Gao Yuan's car, Shirozuka Hisui couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Well, it's nothing big. I'm just doing a little favor for a friend."

Regarding Shirozuka Hisui's inquiry, after opening the car door, Gao Yuan gave a simple reply and then sat in the driver's seat, while Shirozuka Hisui couldn't help but sit in the passenger seat——

"Shirozuka Hisui-san, let me take you back first... I have some things to do after that."

With this explanation, Takato thought it was better to send Shirozuka Hisui back to school first, and then planned to find Hattori Heiji——

After all, I had just found information posted by some high school students on "SNS" about their school's anniversary celebrations in the past two days, and some of the posted information also mentioned something about a kendo competition.

Therefore, if Toyama Kazuha's prediction is good, Hattori Heiji should have gone to that school, right?

"Hey? Is that so? But I don't want to go back..."

It seemed a bit coquettish, Chengzhong Jade couldn't help but pout.

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but look a little helpless. Just when he was about to say something, Shirozuka Jade suddenly suggested:

"Mr. Gao Yuan, are you going to the high school's school festival? Why don't you just take me there to play too!"

"Why?"

Hearing Chengzhong Jade suddenly say this with a playful smile, Gao Yuan was slightly surprised and made a sound of surprise, while Chengzhong Jade said naturally:

"I saw what Mr. Gao Yuan was searching for just now! The high school's school festival...I want to see it too! It may be helpful to my future choices for further studies!"

Regarding Shirozuka Jade's somewhat unreasonable reasons, Gao Yuan looked at her willful look and couldn't help but feel helpless that she seemed to have another purpose.

Chengzuka Jade looked at Gao Yuan with sincere eyes and continued to add:

"Don't worry, Mr. Gao Yuan, I will go to the school festival by myself and won't interfere with your business! Besides, after you finish your work, we can continue to investigate the case! It will also save some time. !”

Therefore, in the face of Shirozuka Jade's request, Gao Yuan couldn't help but compromise, and had no choice but to drive to the high school with Shirozuka Jade -

Seaside Comprehensive High School.

After arriving here, Gao Yuan parked the car in the parking lot near the school gate, and then got out of the car with Shirozuka Jade.

At this time, even though the two of them had not yet entered the school, they were just looking at the school in front of them from the outside, and they immediately realized that it was a large high school——

From a visual inspection, it is at least twice as big as Didan High School.

Moreover, the buildings and facilities inside are very new, and the school buildings are also very beautiful. It is even obvious that some school buildings are equipped with convenient tools such as elevators upstairs. It can be said that the school's infrastructure is quite luxurious.

"Oh, this is the well-known entrance-oriented high school that was founded relatively recently! It looks very good!"

Shirozuka Jade seemed to have some understanding and couldn't help but blurt out.

In contrast, compared to what Shirozuka Jade admired, after arriving at the school gate and entering the campus, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel very surprised when he looked at most of the various students walking through the school and the uniforms they were wearing. Looks familiar——

This dark blue suit-style student uniform...

Isn't it the one Tie Zhuyu wore?

Could it be that this is the school where Tie Zhuyu studied?

When he thought of this, Gao Yuan subconsciously recalled the prop called "Queen of Swords" he had obtained before. He was originally intended to give it to Tie Zhuyu, but there was no chance, so he didn't give it away...

So, if I could meet her here today, could I drop her off along the way?

Anyway, after the brooch prop "Queen of Swords" was made using the tools of Dr. Agasa's house, because I was invited to go to the "SONOKO" hotel immediately, I conveniently put the brooch in the car. So far, it has not been used. It hasn't been touched yet...

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but said to Chengzhong Jade:

"Shirozuka Hisui-san, I'm going to get something from the car and I'll be right back. If you are willing..."

"OK."

Before Gao Yuan finished speaking, Chengzhong Jade replied with a smile on his face, and then stood there, indicating that he would wait here for Gao Yuan to come back.

In this regard, I originally wanted to let Shirozuka Jade go to visit the school festival alone, but I had no choice but to nod towards Shirozuka Jade, then returned to the parking position alone, opened the door, and stepped out of the vehicle. He took out the brooch from the armrest box, put it in his pocket, and returned the same way. He met up with Shirozuka Jade at the school gate and walked toward the campus together.

Entering from the school gate, there are thoughtful students handing out flyers, which have a floor plan of the entire school and some rough distribution maps of the school festival activity areas——

Class performances, exhibitions and results presentations of literary and art clubs, orchestras performing on stage...

After receiving a flyer, he continued to walk towards the school and browsed briefly. Looking at the activities on the flyer, Gao Yuan found it quite interesting as it was his first time to visit the School Festival.

After walking through the area at the school gate, Gao Yuan and Shirozuka Jade soon arrived at the square in front of a teaching building in the school.

The place is slightly crowded with many stalls set up by students. Except for a few stalls selling some handmade products, most of them are stalls selling snacks——

Perhaps in compliance with today's social trends, or because of the many restrictions set by the school, the food stalls opened here do not open fires for cooking, but only sell some pre-cooked food.

However, despite this, Gao Yuan and Shirozuka Jade couldn't help but buy some snacks that they could eat while walking at these stalls to fill their stomachs a little bit——

After all, the two of them had been fighting wits with the police in the Metropolitan Police Department since the morning over the confession, and finally spent a long time with Kengo Akechi. It was almost noon, and the two People's stomachs are already empty.

At this time, although it was almost noon, after a whole morning, the interest of the students who were celebrating the school had not diminished at all.

The battle to attract customers at various stalls is still going on, maybe because most of them are food stalls. During this time, they seem to be selling harder.

At the same time, everyone seems to be planning to come here to eat. There is a steady stream of tourists and students from the school outside the school and even from other teaching buildings and school buildings, all of whom are flocking here.

Originally, there were many people here distributing flyers for their respective classes or club activities, some lined up to hold up signboards, and some were even walking around wearing party props that seemed to be bought from a chain store.

This made it difficult for Gao Yuan and Shirozuka Hisui to pass through the originally wide square.

In response, Shirozuka Jade had to hold Gao Yuan's arm tightly, fearing that his petite body would accidentally be squeezed away by the crowd.

Gao Yuan looked at the scene in front of him. He wanted to pass from the square to the kendo competition venue held on the large playground of Haibin Comprehensive High School, but it seemed to be a little difficult.

Therefore, Gao Yuan had no choice but to drag Shirozuka Jade to the door of the teaching building nearby, trying to pass through the school building across the teaching building and go directly to the playground located behind the school——

However, the situation in the corridors of the school building was not much better. In addition, the space in the corridors was limited, and there were long queues of people in front of some classrooms, which made Gao Yuan feel a little helpless——

It seems that the timing of my arrival here is a little unlucky.

——"Hey? Brother Mingzhi?"

And at this moment, just as Gao Yuan was feeling a little emotional about the lively school festival, a familiar voice suddenly came from the crowd on the side.

Xun Sheng looked around and saw a girl wearing a dark blue student uniform with brown hair and a blue headband. She was blinking and looking at Gao Yuan with an unexpected look on her face. She couldn't help but say in surprise——

It's Tie Zhuyu.

Sure enough, this is really the school she attends——

"Miss Moroyu..."

Involuntarily, Gao Yuan responded.

Tie Zhuyu's expression changed from surprise at first to a bit pleased. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he walked towards Gaoyuan and couldn't help but say:

"What a surprise, Brother Mingzhi. I originally wanted to invite you to come and play tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to show up here today..."

As he spoke, Tie Zhuyu put his hands behind his back, tilted his head and body slightly, and approached Gao Yuan with a very gentle expression, and then asked curiously:

"Brother Mingzhi, do you have anything to do here?"

After saying this, Tie Zhuyu seemed to have noticed Shirozuka Jade, who had been following Gao Yuan, who was wearing the uniform of Sakurayu Women's Academy. He lowered his head slightly, glanced at Shirozuka Jade for a few times, and then looked a little confused. Raising his head and looking towards Gaoyuan——

Although he didn't say anything, his expression seemed to be asking Gao Yuan about the situation of the Chengzhong Jade.

In response, Gao Yuan smiled back and said calmly:

"Indeed... I came here this time to meet a friend as entrusted by someone."

Simply, he just answered what Tie Zhuyu clearly asked.

Then, after listening to Gao Yuan's explanation, Tie Zhuyu's face seemed to be as expected. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and smiled, and then said:

"It's really your style, Brother Mingzhi! It just so happens that I have some rest time now, how about I help Brother Mingzhi look for it together with you?"

He reached out and patted his chest, and Tie Zhuyu recommended himself.
