After Sanada signed in at the front, he walked straight to Jiang Cheng.

"To be able to meet here, thank you for Kirihara's incident at Qingxue last time." He obviously knew about Chiya's disturbance in Qingxue's tennis club, and also heard about Jiangcheng's role in it, so he was very upset about it. grateful.

Jiang Cheng never thought that Liu Lianer would tell Sanada after getting the information from Gan?It's unlikely, but since he already knows, he can only help Chi Ye restore some image.

"Kirihara just lost his way to Seigaku. I happened to meet him and sent him to the station. Don't be so polite, Sanada-san."

While Jiang Cheng was talking to Sanada, Okita Shoji and Hattori Heiji at the side recognized Sanada.

"Huh? You are the winner of the middle school student group in the national competition the day before yesterday." Okita Souji obviously paid more attention to the news about kendo.

Hattori Heiji also saw the news.

"It looks like it's him, but it looks much smaller than in the photo." Hattori remembered that when he watched the news the day before yesterday, he still complained silently. This junior high school student seemed a bit too mature.

Regarding Hattori's words, Sanada did not refute. After all, his nephews called him uncle, but obviously he also knew Okita Souji and Hattori Heiji. After all, they both practiced kendo. He had heard of their reputation in the high school group.

Especially Souji Okita, Tie Jian, and Hattori Heiji in the same grade are known as the three masters of kendo in high school.

"I've heard about the reputation of the two seniors. Please give me your advice when we meet for the first time."

Okita Souji saw his serious look, smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Why are you so serious? It's not a competition to relax a bit, but I didn't expect you to bring the bamboo knife with you."

While Okita and Sanada were talking, Conan poked Hattori and said.

"Hey, Hattori, you know this mature junior high school student."

Unexpectedly, he and Kudo saw the same thing, Sanada-senior looked very mature, he knelt down and whispered in Conan's ear.

"I haven't met formally, but he won the kendo championship of the middle school student group for two consecutive years, and won three consecutive victories the day before yesterday, so I have a good impression of him. You also know that the circle of the national kendo competition is so big. The faces naturally recognize each other."

After reminiscing about the past, Jiangcheng realized that Sanada also came for the four ancient knives on display. His grandfather Genyouemon Sanada received the invitation letter, but he himself had no interest, so he gave it to him just in time to come to Osaka to participate in the National Kendo Conference. Besides, the terminal of the cruise ship happened to return to Tokyo.

Standing not far away, Mori Kogoro saw a group of kid chatting enthusiastically, so he simply found a place to sit down. Xiaolan and Heye saw the garden that invited them.

Today, Sonoko is wearing a light blue evening dress. When she is not talking, she is really elegant and beautiful, which perfectly fits Miss Suzuki's appearance, but...

"Lan! He Ye, this way." She yelled loudly, with a bright smile on her face, and she turned out to be a down-to-earth young lady as soon as she spoke.

Yuanzi saw Jiang Cheng, looked around and found that he was the only one attending.

"Huh? What about the kid with the red hair and the OK bandana? He seems to be very interested in cultural relics."

"Unfortunately, Eiji couldn't come to participate because something happened." Jiang Cheng briefly explained the reason to Sonoko.

Suzuki Sonoko expressed her understanding, but she still pouted and said.

"The boy from the Atobe family also went to England temporarily, and the two Kansai-accented children also said that they had personal matters last time. It's rare to invite everyone, really."

Jiang Cheng smiled awkwardly.

In the end, Sonoko Suzuki waved his hand and spoke indifferently.

"Well, forget it, if you can't participate this time, let's do it next time. Anyway, there will be many more exhibitions like this in the future."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, it turned out that the Suzuki consortium was arrogant.

When the time came to five o'clock, all the invited guests had signed in.

The service staff arranged the guests to the meeting place in an orderly manner. Entering the main meeting place, it was decorated in a fashionable and magnificent style, with crystal chandeliers, pure hand-woven wool carpets, and valuable red wine was placed in the place where the guests sat and rested. , gold is the main color, and there is an aura of money as soon as you enter.

Even Mori Kogoro couldn't help complaining.

"Based on the style of the Suzuki family, most of them are made of pure gold, it's so dazzling to the eyes."

Suzuki Sonoko pointed to several decorations and introduced them.

"It is true that some of them are made of pure gold. Uncle Jiroji likes this style very much, so after buying a new cruise ship at the beginning of the year, the decoration is done according to his intention."

Hattori, Conan, and Jiang Cheng who followed were speechless for a moment. Hearing this, it was obviously an act of throwing money away. How come it came from the mouths of the Suzuki family?

Jiang Cheng looked around and found that there was no place for cultural relics in the venue. It seems that this is not an exhibition area.

Soon the host, Suzuki Jirokichi, showed up. He came to the high platform at the front of the venue. He didn’t say anything extra, but told all the guests that they can move freely first, and the glacier star and other antiquities.

The short words ended unexpectedly, and I have to say that this uncle is quite willful.

Everyone started to move around freely. To put it bluntly, this kind of banquet is also a platform for celebrities to communicate, so Jiangcheng quickly saw familiar people, such as famous historians, writers, celebrities, and many business and political celebrities. At least Jiangcheng has seen it in the hot spots.

Mori Kogoro had no interest in these celebrities, and he focused more on the expensive red wine on the table.

He stopped a wandering waiter, took a lot of wine from the waiter's plate, and drank tons of wine, which made Conan speechless, please, it's red wine, you can still drink it The old white dry feeling.

Jiang Cheng was fine, so he simply sat and ate fruit, while Sanada sat with Souji Okita and exchanged his experience in kendo.

At this moment, Jiangcheng saw Yoko Okino not far away. Unexpectedly, she also came to the dinner party. After drinking seven or eight glasses of wine, Kogoro Mori turned his head and saw Yoko.

Apparently he walked up to Yoko with some excitement, and tidied up his clothes very carefully, and then drank some mineral water to suppress the alcohol.

"I didn't expect to meet Miss Yoko. It seems that today is my lucky day."

"Ah, Mr. Mori, nice to meet you." Yoko Okino also looked very happy when she saw Uncle Mori.

On the other side, the two men who were originally talking to Yoko were interrupted, and they seemed to be in a bad mood.

One of the tall men said in a bad tone.

"Hey, why don't you introduce yourself first?"

I didn't expect the other party's tone to be so impolite. Mori Kogoro's good self-cultivation did not confront the other party. After all, he was the one who inserted it first.

"Hello, my name is Mori Kogoro, and I mainly work as a detective in Tokyo."

Hearing the name, another slender man had a smile on his face.

"It turned out to be the famous detective known as Sleeping Kogoro, who has known his name for a long time. My name is Nagao Kazushi. I am a cultural relic appraiser, good at ancient knife appraisal, and I am also the exhibit appraiser hired by Mr. Suzuki this time."

Seeing Kogoro Mori's polite self-introduction, the tall man didn't keep his face straight anymore, he spoke in a flat tone.

"My name is Oda Ken, and I am currently the president of the Kansai Kendo Association."

Hattori and Conan were a little bored listening to the conversation between the uncle and the two men not far away, and then looked at the three Xiaolan who were sitting over there still talking secretly. Conan's intuition told him that Lan, Sonoko and Ye must be Is planning something.

So he poked Hattori next to him again.

"Hey, Hattori, it's been three days since they've been talking in a low voice, don't you think it's strange?"

Obviously Hattori Heiji still felt that Kudo was thinking too much.

"Is this Ken Oda really the president of the Kendo Association?" Why hasn't he heard of it.

Hearing Hattori's change of topic, Kudo once again had a look on his face, did you listen to me?

Seeing that Hattori didn't intend to explore Lan's plot with him, he simply withdrew his gaze and turned to the Oda Ken who was mentioned.

"Whether he is the president, you should know better than me, after all, you also practice kendo."

"Because of this, I'm surprised. I haven't heard of the president of the association here in Kansai." Hattori touched his chin, could it be the president he had never met?

Seeing that he was so concerned, Conan planned to ask Haihara to check it out, but unfortunately turned on the phone but found that there was no signal. It turned out that they had left Osaka and the cruise ship sailed into the sea.

While talking, the two of them saw another man join the circle.

"Yo, long time no see, Nagao and Oda."

That man obviously knew the other two, but when he joined, Hattori and Conan clearly noticed the changes in the expressions of Nagao Kazushi and Oda Ken.

Kazushi Nagao, who was originally smiling modestly, suddenly lowered his face, his eyes were full of displeasure, while Ken Oda also showed a more obvious, alienated look, and put aside his body, trying to distance himself from the visitor.

"Why are you here!" Oda Ken's tone was quite bad, and he was very surprised and angry at the appearance of this man.

It was the man who hooked his lips and smiled.

"Of course I'm here to catch up with old friends, oh yes, and I have some old things to ask about by the way."

When the man saw Mori Kogoro, he was surprised for a moment, but he immediately returned to normal.

"I didn't expect to meet the famous detective Kogoro. Hello, my name is Yusuke Haneda. I study Japanese history at Osaka University. My main research direction is the Edo period."

Although those people were standing together and chatting, Hattori and Conan always felt that their atmosphere was a bit weird.

Soon it was time for dinner, and the restaurant on the cruise ship arranged a rich buffet.
