Chapter 253 Preliminary Round is about to begin
Thomas nodded, and then the two began to discuss the process of the finals and some details of the cooperation with Qun Yu Pavilion.
Subaru Okiya felt that he would not get any more useful information if he continued listening, and was worried that if he delayed too long he would be discovered by others, so he slowly moved away from the window, almost silently left the study area, returned to the path leading to the toilet, and then returned to the room where Xia Xi and Xiaolan were making cheering items.
In the study, Thomas glanced at the window, then looked at Kamisato Ayato and said, "Master, that person has left. Is he Akai Shuichi?"
Kamisato Ayato nodded slightly and replied calmly: "Yes, it's Akai Shuichi, the ace agent of the FBI."
"Why is he here?"
"Well... that's a good question. However, with his ability, it wouldn't be difficult for him to avoid the servants around him and get close to here without anyone noticing."
Kamisato Ayato picked up the book he had just put down and answered while reading it.
"I hope what I just said can make him and Conan focus on the burning of the final venue, and not disturb our cooperation with Qun Yu Pavilion for the time being." Thomas looked a little worried. After all, generally speaking, wherever the protagonist is, there will be a case. I hope that the competition they are hosting tomorrow can go smoothly.
"Don't worry, they won't give up easily. Moreover, Conan will definitely try his best to find the criminal before us. After all, what I just said was not very friendly to the criminal." Kamisato Ayato chuckled, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

The next day, everyone got up early to cheer their friends on.
Kamisato Ayaka thoughtfully provided them with breakfast, and then arranged for Thomas to take everyone to the preliminary venue.
After arriving at the destination, it was still early, so they went to meet He Ye and Barbara first.
As for Nilu, she seemed to be working with her friends on the stage props for today's performance. She was busy and did not come out.
After chatting for a while and cheering each other on, everyone headed to the auditorium and sat in their previously reserved seats.
"Wow, there are so many people coming to watch the game this time!" Yuan Tai looked around excitedly, amazed at the lively crowd and tense atmosphere around him. He widened his eyes and observed every corner curiously.
"Yes." Mitsuhiko nodded in agreement.
"Not only are there spectators, there are also a lot of security guards in this competition venue." Huihara observed her surroundings calmly. She noticed that there was a security guard standing guard every few steps in the corridor. They had serious expressions and were always vigilant.
In addition, there are many staff members who are maintaining order and ensuring that the audience can enter and leave the venue in an orderly manner. All this shows that the organizer attaches great importance to this competition and pays great attention to safety issues.
"It should be to prevent someone from disrupting the competition." Hattori Heiji speculated. He remembered the destruction of the final venue some time ago, and a trace of worry surged in his heart. This competition is larger in scale and has a wider impact. If a similar situation occurs again, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Oh, I hope Ayato and the others can find the criminal as soon as possible." Xia Xi sighed and prayed softly with a slightly worried look.
When Conan heard Xia Xi mention Ayato, he couldn't help but think of the email he received from Mr. Okiya yesterday, which roughly described a conversation he heard last night.
Judging from that conversation, it was obvious that Kamisato Ayato was planning to do something to the criminals who destroyed the final venue.
Conan was a little worried that Kamisato Ayato and the others would resort to lynching, which would not be good, but he had no way or position to stop the Kamisato family from continuing the investigation.
So Conan thought for a long time last night, and the only solution he could come up with was to find the criminal and the evidence before Kamisato and his friends, and send them to jail first. In this way, Kamisato and his friends would not be able to retaliate against those people, and they would naturally be punished by law.
But Conan has not learned many clues about the accident until now. Fortunately, the incident happened in Osaka, and the police must have many clues.
Conan plans to ask Hattori for relevant information after watching the game today, and then start the investigation.
Right now, it’s more important to support my friends’ performances.
Conan lowered his head helplessly and took a look at the cheering uniform that Sonoko had just stuffed in his hand.
The audience came in one after another, and before long, the seats in the auditorium were almost occupied, and the time for the game to start was almost approaching.
