Chapter 241 A friend's request (Changed content)
After saying that, Thomas opened the car door and gestured for them to come in. Kawi and Zhongli nodded and got in the car one by one.
The children also got on the bus excitedly.
Next came Okiya Subaru and Xia Yu.
The children were interested in this car, so naturally they all chose to ride in it.
Conan didn't want to leave the team, and he was curious about Thomas, so he naturally ignored the sad look that Hattori Heiji gave him.
Subaru Okiya was asked by the doctor to take care of the children, so naturally he had to stay with them. However, Xia Xi and Thomas were friends, so it was not appropriate to leave him behind and take someone else's car.
In the end, only Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko and Hattori Heiji were in one car.
Although Sonoko was a little reluctant to leave the handsome guy in the other car, Hattori was their friend after all, and he came to pick them up specially, so it would not be polite to leave him alone.
Then, the two cars started slowly and drove towards their destination.
******
In the car, the children looked around curiously.
Among them, Haibara deliberately chose a seat a little further away from Okiya Subaru and sat down. Her eyes were always fixed outside the car window, and she seemed not to want to have too much communication with Okiya Subaru.
"Mr. Zhongli, I didn't expect that you met someone from the Kamisato family as soon as you came to Japan. By the way, can you tell me the purpose of you and Kavi coming to Osaka?" Okiya Subaru looked at Zhongli with a smile and spoke to him.
Conan sat aside and watched the scene quietly. He knew that Mr. Okiya was trying to get some information from Zhongli.
Therefore, Conan did not speak in a hurry, but decided to remain silent and see what Subaru Okiya could ask.
"I don't actually know anyone from the Kamisato family." Zhongli denied. His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it contained endless wisdom and experience. "I just heard about it from a friend. She once told me that the brothers and sisters of the Kamisato family are very capable, and she admires them very much."
"She?" Subaru Okiya keenly caught the word, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of curiosity in his tone, "It seems that Mr. Zhongli's friend is a woman, and from Mr. Zhongli's tone, she seems to be an elder of the Kamisato family?"
“That’s right.” Zhongli nodded, a barely perceptible smile flashing across his eyes. “She even has a child, but it’s a pity that she doesn’t seem to know how to teach the child.”
Having said this, he sighed imperceptibly.
"Actually, she asked me to come and help this time. She said that the children of the Kamisato family have encountered some troubles recently. Although it is not difficult for Mr. Kamisato to solve this matter, some problems are more convenient for Kavi and I to handle."
As he spoke, Zhongli turned his gaze to Kawi, a subtle smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "At least we have been doing related work for some time, so practice makes perfect."
Kavi was slightly startled, then nodded with a smile, "Yes, my main job is to design and build houses, so the commission from Kamisato's family is not a big deal."
"So the Kamisato family asked Brother Kavi to help them build a house?" Conan couldn't help but interrupt when he heard this, "Then what troubles did the Kamisato family encounter recently? Is it related to this commission?"
Conan didn't expect that the purpose of Kavi and Zhongli's sudden visit to Osaka to meet the head of a large family who was probably also a member of the Teyvat organization was to build a house? !
No, he always felt that it wouldn't be that simple.
The children had already had enough of looking inside the truck, and when they heard something was happening, their detective radars were immediately triggered. They instantly turned their gaze away from other places and looked at Kavi.
Even Xia Xi looked at the other party. After all, even she was not very clear about the specific situation.
She only knew that someone was jealous of the huge profits that Ayato and his team would make from the event, and wanted to send someone to disrupt the smooth progress of the competition.
Since she believed in the efforts of Ayato and Ayahua, she did not ask any more questions. Therefore, she did not know what those people had done specifically.
"I don't know the details, Mr. Zhongli should know more." Kavi shrugged helplessly, indicating that he was not clear about the details.
Everyone turned their attention to Zhongli.
"It seems that the venue specially built for the idol event finals was burned down, so we were asked to come here to redesign and build the competition venue." Zhongli did not disappoint everyone and told everyone the news he knew.
"Ah?! Is anyone injured?" Ayumi asked nervously with her eyes wide open.
"Don't worry, those troublemakers didn't want to cause any loss of life, so currently only less than ten staff members have suffered minor injuries." Zhongli comforted gently.
Conan was relieved after hearing this, and secretly thanked himself that nothing more serious had happened. After all, if someone had died, this incident would have escalated into a vicious case, with disastrous consequences.
However, although there were no casualties, the burning of the competition venue was no small matter.
He couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't heard any relevant news before? Even when Hattori came just now, he didn't mention it.
Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but ask.
"I guess the Kamisato family may have intentionally suppressed this matter." Okiya Subaru touched his chin with one hand and guessed.
"After all, the competition is about to take place. If the audience and contestants knew that the Kamisato family could not properly protect such an important finals venue, it would probably cause a huge crisis of trust and lead to immeasurable losses."
His analysis was so logical that others had to agree with him.
"That's the reason." Zhongli nodded in affirmation.
"Has anything been found out about the fire incident so far?" Conan was still quite interested in the case. After knowing the reason why the Kamisato family blocked the news, he focused his attention on the incident of burning the competition venue.
"We are not sure about this. After all, the reason I agreed to come to Osaka was just to help build the competition venue.
As for the investigation, the case has been handed over to the Osaka police, and I believe Mr. Kamisato will handle it well. "He shook his head slightly, his eyes deep, indicating that solving the incident was not within his job scope.
"Ah! How could this happen--" the children sighed in disappointment.
They originally knew some information from Zhongli, so maybe their Junior Detective Team could find some clues.
Conan was also a little disappointed, but seeing that Zhongli really didn't know the situation very well, and knowing that he couldn't get more information from here, he gave up the idea of continuing to inquire about the situation.
