Chapter 242 Preliminary Contingency
"It seems that the head of the Kamisato family trusts Mr. Zhongli very much, as he can entrust such an important matter to you." Okiya Subaru changed the subject, "After all, if this kind of thing is not done well, it will affect the reputation of the Kamisato family."
"Yes, since he has placed his trust in us, we will certainly live up to his trust." Zhongli smiled slightly and replied calmly.
......
After a while, the car finally arrived at its destination.
Since Xiaolan, Sonoko and Xia Xi came here specifically to cheer for Kazuha, they naturally wanted to find Kazuha first. So, the first stop after arriving in Osaka was the venue for the preliminary competition held by the Kamisato family.
This place is not only the venue for the preliminary round, but also the venue for the semi-final. At present, it is well preserved, and only a new venue with more characteristics will be specially built for the final. However, unfortunately, the newly built final venue has now been destroyed.
Although the preliminary round will officially begin tomorrow, some contestants are already conducting intensive rehearsals inside the competition venue.
The venue also provides some special soundproof rooms for contestants to practice competition pieces or dances.
These rooms have been beautifully decorated by the staff and are equipped with professional audio equipment and comfortable seats, allowing the contestants to immerse themselves in the world of music and dance without being disturbed by the outside world.
After arriving at the destination, several people got out of the car.
As soon as Xia Xi got out of the car, she turned her head and glanced around, then her eyes fell on the entrance of the venue.
She saw Yuanshan Heye waving at her and jogging towards her.
After finding the person, Xia Xi quickly raised her hand to signal He Ye that she had seen the other person.
Soon, He Ye ran to Xia Xi, panting.
Looking at the three strange men standing next to Xia Xi, while Xiaolan, Sonoko and Heiji, who had agreed to come together, were nowhere to be seen, He Ye couldn't help but feel puzzled and looked at Xia Xi curiously.
Xia Xi explained that they took another car and would arrive soon. Then, she began to introduce the identities of Okiya Subaru, Kavi, and Zhongli to He Ye one by one.
The few of them chatted briefly, and then not long after, the car arranged by Hattori Heiji stopped in front of Kazuha.
Hattori Heiji, Mori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko got off the car one after another.
"Ah!" When He Ye saw his friends, he excitedly ran up to greet them.
The people have been sent there, and Hattori and his men have arrived at their destination safely. Kavi and Zhongli also said goodbye.
The others, especially Yuanzi, were reluctant to leave, but they knew they had other things to do, so they didn't try to keep them.
Everyone waved goodbye to Zhongli and Kawi, saying they would contact them after the event. Zhongli smiled and nodded, then turned around with Kawi and got back into the car driven by Thomas.
The car started slowly and left the scene.
Hattori turned his head and his eyes fell on several police cars parked at the entrance of the venue. He noticed that the uniformed police officers near the police cars were busy maintaining order. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by several familiar figures, who seemed to be the police officers under his father.
His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.
Then he turned his head, looked at He Ye curiously, and asked, "He Ye, why are there policemen here? Has something happened?" His tone revealed an excitement that was hard to conceal, and he seemed to be very interested in this sudden situation.
Seeing Hattori's expression, Kazuha couldn't help but roll her eyes and said dissatisfiedly, "Heiji, we haven't seen each other for such a long time, and your first sentence is not about how my preliminary song practice went, but about this kind of thing."
Of course, although she was a little dissatisfied, she did not completely ignore the questions raised by Heiji.
She looked back at the police car that Heiji was pointing at, and then answered, "When I saw the police car just now, I heard someone say that it seemed that a contestant found a needle stuck in his dance shoe. After questioning, no one admitted it, so they called the police and asked them to investigate the matter."
"Ah?! How could this happen! What about the contestant? Is he injured?" Xiaolan and Sonoko covered their mouths and asked worriedly.
Hattori Heiji also frowned and looked at Kazuha awkwardly, his tone a little nervous: "If someone does this kind of thing, are you okay?"
He Ye was a little confused by his sudden concern. She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and replied: "Ah... I'm fine."
Then she reacted and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her face, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but she was afraid of being discovered by Heiji, so she quickly lowered her head.
However, just as Kazuha was secretly delighted, Hattori Heiji's next words instantly extinguished her newly ignited joy.
"I'm glad you're okay." Hattori Heiji was slightly relieved, and then added, "But that's true. It must be that the contestant is very strong and poses a threat to others, so the criminal treated her like this. With your level, Kazuha, you will need to practice for a long time if you want to make others feel threatened." After saying that, Hattori nodded subconsciously, indicating that he agreed with what he said.
After hearing Hattori's words, the others looked at him with indescribable expressions.
Xia Xi couldn't help but sigh: What kind of emotional intelligence is this? As a girl, He Ye would definitely feel uncomfortable hearing such words.
Paimon also popped up and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, a black boy with no emotional intelligence like this actually has a girl who likes him."
Xia Xi: "Everyone has their own preferences. Also, were you calling Hattori 'black boy' just now?"
Paimon said indifferently, "This is the nickname I gave him. He is very dark-skinned, so 'Black Boy' is not very descriptive. But from today on, I plan to change his nickname. I think 'No Emotional Intelligence' is more representative of him."
Xia Xi nodded in agreement.
Hattori felt a little regretful after blurting out those words. He realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't know how to make up for it for a moment.
So, he could only cough awkwardly and try to change the subject: "Ahem... Let's focus on the case first."
