Chapter 154

Xingchuan Heming thought to himself that he had been low-key enough since entering the venue, so the reason why these people were paying attention to him could only be because of his so-called status as a young master. He observed those who were looking at him inconspicuously and found that most of them gave him a familiar feeling.

After a closer look, he found that the young man named Ryota who had just provoked him and the other young man with the other eye looked somewhat similar, and they were obviously related by blood. No need to ask, they must be the competitors for the selection of the successor of the Kamimura family.

Xingchuan and Ming just felt that they didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Did these people regard themselves as competitors? No wonder, the timing of their appearance was so coincidental, and the old housekeeper personally delivered the invitation letter. It really looked like a bloody story of a wealthy family. It seemed that the candidates of this generation had long been accustomed to this kind of internal fighting, but as the head of the family, could Kamimura Sachiro just sit there and watch?

Maybe this situation was pushed by Kamimura Sachiro himself. Otherwise, why would he drag me into this mess at such a sensitive time? However, even if they had never communicated, he would just do whatever he wanted to his son who was living away from home, not caring about what would happen to him who was the target of criticism. He was really cold-blooded. Hoshikawa Kazuaki's feelings towards his biological father, whom he had not met yet, had already dropped to the lowest level.

Xingchuan Heming no longer paid attention to those people. He decided to leave immediately after the dungeon was opened and never have anything to do with the Kamimura family again. He pretended not to see the eye man's probing gaze and planned to find another secluded corner to wait for Baifu vest to appear. Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, he attracted the attention of Mao Lilan.

"Hey? Isn't that Senior Hoshikawa standing over there?" Mao Lilan said in surprise, and then took Conan's hand and said, "Conan, let's go say hello to Senior?"

Conan said "hmm" sweetly, but in his heart he recalled the news about Hoshikawa and Akira's life stories that he got from Akai Shuichi. No wonder Hoshikawa and Akira showed up here today, he must want to know more about his parents, right? Unfortunately, today's banquet is too sensitive. According to Hoshikawa and Akira's usual caution, they should not choose such an occasion. Is it because they suddenly found out about their life stories that they panicked and rashly came to the appointment?

Thinking of this, Conan looked at Hoshikawa and Ming who were standing not far away, but saw that they suddenly stopped, took out their mobile phone and looked at the screen, frowned and looked around, and quickly typed something on the keyboard.

Conan suddenly felt a little strange. Looking at the looks of Hoshikawa and Akira, they didn't look like they were here to learn about their backgrounds. Instead, they looked like they were going to meet someone at a banquet.

If they wanted to know more about their parents, why didn't Hoshikawa and Akira get in touch with the Kamimura family? If I guessed correctly, the two people who just came to talk to Hoshikawa and Akira were the direct descendants of the Kamimura family. Why did Hoshikawa and Akira seem to be avoiding them on purpose?

However, before Conan could think further, Xingchuan and Ming had already spotted Mao Lilan and Conan approaching. He naturally put away his phone, waved to the two of them first, and showed them a warm smile that they were familiar with.

"It turns out you're here. I guess I was right. How come you guys are here at this party? Isn't Mr. Maori here?"

Whenever Kogoro Mouri was mentioned, Conan secretly complained in his heart, thinking that the old man might still be drinking and bragging to others about how great he was.

Mao Lilan also smiled very awkwardly, and explained reluctantly: "My father received a commission from Mrs. Kamimura, so he brought us here. He is now, uh, probably collecting intelligence, haha..."

Hoshikawa and Akira looked at the embarrassed expression that Mao Lilan tried hard to hide, and immediately understood in their hearts, is this another time to eat and drink for free and brag? However, they didn't expect that it was Mrs. Kamimura who invited them. Could it be that the case that will happen today is really related to the Kamimura family? Hoshikawa and Akira's heart was immediately alarmed, and he felt that he needed to keep a distance from the Death God Group this time. At least before the copy is opened, he must not be involved in the case. Hoshikawa and Akira have already silently moved up the plan in his heart.

Thinking of the layout of the entire banquet hall that Xiaozhi had just sent him, Xingchuan Heming quickly planned a route of action in his mind, and after exchanging a few words with Mao Li Ran, he made an excuse to leave.

Conan looked at the hurried backs of Xingchuan and Ming, and the strange feeling he had before reappeared. Although he didn't want to think badly of Xingchuan and Ming, their actions today were indeed very suspicious. Conan was curious and immediately chased after them.

"Brother Xingchuan, wait for me!"

Xingchuan Heming naturally couldn't let Conan keep following him. If he didn't hurry to get rid of this death god, it might affect his next plan. He had no choice but to stop, bend down and say to Conan:

"What's wrong, Conan? Is there anything else you want to talk to me about?"

Conan may have run too fast, and bumped into Xingchuan and Ming's legs. He rubbed his nose and said in a muffled voice:

"I just want to ask Brother Xingchuan, why did you come to this banquet?"

Xingchuan and Ming were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Conan to chase them out just to ask such a question. He thought there was something wrong with him that made the little detective suspicious. Could it be that he was really overthinking this time?

Thinking of this, Xingchuan and Ming smiled gently and replied, "I'm actually here to keep a date."

Conan was stunned by Hoshikawa and Akira's smile. He really didn't expect that Hoshikawa and Akira could face this matter so frankly. If it were someone else, they would suddenly find out that they still have a father, but their father obviously doesn't care about them. Even if they want to meet him, they must bring an invitation letter like an outsider to come. This kind of indifferent attitude would make anyone sad, right? But Hoshikawa and Akira didn't seem to care much.

Could it be that he didn't want others to see him looking sad and upset, so he pretended to be too nice?

Conan's gaze towards Hoshikawa and Ming immediately became cautious, with sympathy written all over his little face.

Xingchuan and Ming were both amused and confused by his expression. Did this great detective think that I was the unlucky villain in some tragic ethical drama?

As they were talking, Mao Li Ran had already run over after Conan, so Hoshikawa and Akira handed Conan back to Mao Li Ran to prevent him from running around and causing trouble. Unexpectedly, this time Conan did not struggle, but followed Mao Li Ran obediently, which made Hoshikawa and Akira sigh with emotion. They did not expect that increasing Conan's sympathy points would have such an effect.

When leaving again, Hoshikawa Kazuaki thought that the time before the banquet started was running out, so in order not to attract other people's attention, he hurried to the place he had just agreed with Morobushi Kagemitsu. At the same time, he and Kagano Satoshi were consciously checking the routes of the other two important characters.

Kagino Satoshi assured, "Both Morofumi and Morobushi Kagemitsu have received your message. Morofushi Kagemitsu disguised himself as a waiter and sneaked in as agreed with Nishihara Tadahiko. He should be able to arrive at the agreed location before you. Morofumi has not entered the venue yet, but given his skills, he should be there in less than three minutes. If you delay any longer, you will probably have to watch the classic scene of Morofu vs. Scotch up close."

Xingchuan Heming's expression froze when he heard it, and his steps became much faster. However, he did not realize that there was a small sticker stuck on the place where Conan had just hit his pants, which looked like a small and inconspicuous stain.

Xingchuan Heming not only had to speed up his pace, but also tried to make his steps look more natural and graceful in order not to attract attention. When he finally reached the rooftop where they had agreed to meet, his legs almost didn't belong to him anymore.

Yes, based on a certain bad taste in the rescue target Morobushi Kagemitsu, the meeting place chosen by Xingchuan and Ming this time was the rooftop of the building where the banquet hall was located. Of course, the more important reason was that their meeting this time had to be secretive and quiet enough to prevent someone from accidentally seeing or hearing anything.

This building is the tallest in the area, so if they meet on the rooftop, they don't have to worry about being accidentally photographed or seeing anything through the sniper scope, so Xingchuan and Ming decided to meet here.

Professionals Morobushi Jingguang and Baifu Majia also agreed with Xingchuan and Ming's choice. This made Xingchuan and Ming more confident about this meeting. Of course, in his script, the two people who were about to meet only vaguely knew that Xingchuan and Ming had found external help to overcome the difficulties, but they didn't know who the other party was. So for these two people, this meeting also had the intention of testing each other.

When Xingchuan and Ming opened the door and walked onto the rooftop, they didn't see anyone waiting there. Xingchuan and Ming were stunned for a moment, thinking that they had made a mistake in the meeting address. However, before he could recheck the mail, he heard a suspicious voice coming from an inconspicuous dark corner on the rooftop: "Hey? Is it you?"

Xingchuan and Ming looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall young man in waiter's clothes walking out from the shadows in the corner. His face was too ordinary and a little stiff, and it was obvious that he had been disguised. But his pair of blue slanted eyes were obvious enough, and Xingchuan and Ming recognized his identity at the first time. He was a public security elite sent by the Public Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department to go undercover in the winery, Morobu Kagemitsu.
