Imai Midori was busy with her homework before winter break, while Koshimizu Nanatsuki had already gone to Hokkaido to investigate, but she didn't find any useful information. So she just told Jiang Hang about the places she had investigated back then, so that Jiang Hang could keep an eye out for news about high school detectives in other places.

Conan, on the other hand, didn't call out at all.

After all, the other person has just been discharged from the hospital, so it's better for them to rest for a few more days. Going skiing would be a bit too outrageous.

In short, Jiang Hang asked a bunch of people around him, and even asked about the idol groups and bands that he occasionally went to watch their performances in private these days. Unfortunately, everyone seemed to be quite busy at the end of the year and couldn't find any time.

So in the end, the only people who went to Hokkaido with him were the Miyano sisters, whom he had decided to go with beforehand.

Upon receiving this news, Shiho Miyano on the other end of the phone even felt her heart racing.

"Anyway, I've already booked your tickets to Hakodate for tomorrow afternoon. I'll drive over to pick you up then," Jiang Hang said before hanging up the phone, completely unaware of the complex emotions that Shiho Miyano was experiencing on the other end.

However, when Jiang Hang drove to pick up Shiho Miyano the next afternoon, it was still clear that she had made careful preparations.

After getting on the bus, Shiho Miyano began to take out her pre-prepared travel plan.

For example, tomorrow we can take a trip around Hakodate, and the day after tomorrow, after attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony, we can take the tram from Hakodate, the starting station, all the way to Sapporo. After spending a day in Sapporo, we can go to Hokkaido's largest ski resort, which is only half an hour away from Sapporo.

After that, almost all the travel plans were arranged by Shiho Miyano.

However, Jiang Hang added, "I also need to go to Asahikawa. I know a family restaurant there that should have pretty good food."

Although Shiho Miyano was a little surprised that Jiang Hang, who had never been there, knew about the restaurant's taste, Asahikawa was also in the Sapporo metropolitan area, and it wouldn't take long to get there. So she took out her phone and started searching for attractions in Asahikawa.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Hang seemed to remember something and gave her a special reminder.

"Then you should take your sister to visit those tourist attractions more often. As for me, I should also take some time to go to the high schools in those cities to help Yue Shui investigate the high school detective who drove her friend to suicide."

Upon hearing this, Shiho Miyano's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

This is how Jianghang should behave; it's perfectly normal.

She maintained her smile.

Jiang Hang has always been a helpful person. Since he promised to help Koshimizu Nanatsuki, he will definitely take action.

Besides, they can help with the investigation later. Since there are only three of them going to Hokkaido this time, they can definitely find enough time to spend alone together.

Thinking this way, Shiho Miyano maintained this thought until they arrived at the airport after picking up her older sister.

Then, when checking in her luggage, Shiho Miyano's smile vanished.

Looking at the three familiar figures not far away, Shiho Miyano's eyes couldn't help but become somewhat lifeless.

She reached out and rubbed Jiang Hang beside her, then asked him a question in a cold, emotionless tone.

"Why are the three of them here too? Didn't you say it was just the three of us?"

Standing before them were none other than the classic trio of Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and Conan.

However, they were chatting with other people and hadn't noticed Jiang Hang and his group's arrival yet.

Jiang Hang was also somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.

"I definitely didn't tell Conan about this. How come they're going to Hakodate too? What a coincidence!"

Jiang Hang muttered to himself, then subconsciously activated Eagle Vision and scanned the area in front of him.

Oh, so you're here too, Kidd?

I'll put both the Magician of the Silver Wing and The Silent Fifteen Minutes theatrical films together in the Hokkaido chapter.

The fifteen-minute silence was originally supposed to be for the Governor of Tokyo, but since I've assigned him to a role in another work, this passerby has been transferred to Hokkaido.

Chapter 541: Real and Fake Gems

Strictly speaking, Kaito Kid isn't with Conan and the others right now; he's watching Conan from a distance, disguised as a passerby.

If Jiang Hang hadn't activated his Eagle Vision and spotted a large red dot nearby, he wouldn't have been able to discover the Phantom Thief Kid so easily.

So, what kind of request related to Kaito Kid has Kogoro Mouri received this time?

In fact, Jiang Hang has received quite a few requests from Phantom Thief Kid these days.

However, Kaito Kid himself now knows that his greatest advantage of disguise is useless in front of Jiang Hang, and that deliberately provoking Jiang Hang would only make things difficult for him.

That is, he had previously helped Jiang Hang rescue someone from a research institute, which was considered a favor to Jiang Hang at the time.

In addition, Jiang Hang already knew about Kaito Kid's plans. Except when he was not famous and did not receive many cases, he would use his Hawkeye to ask Kaito Kid to make a name for himself. Now that he has made a name for himself, the title of Kaito Kid's nemesis is no longer so important to him.

Even though Jiang Hang had previously wanted to use Kaito Kid to boost the reputation of his art museum, now that the system has been providing him with some rare paintings and several art exhibitions have already made the museum famous overseas, there's no need to borrow popularity from Kaito Kid anymore.

He doesn't really care about Kaito Kid's affairs unless the other party provokes him.

Of course, since he had met Kuroba Toichi, the father of Kaito Kid, some time ago, and now knows that Kuroba Toichi has been one of his own all along, Jiang Hang has also thought about finding a time to bring Kaito Kid into the Brotherhood.

However, Kuroba Toichi does not want to reveal his identity to his son yet, so Jiang Hang has not taken any action for the time being.

For these reasons, although the news is saying that Jiang Hang is the nemesis of Phantom Thief Kid, the two of them haven't actually met for a long time.

Phantom Thief Kid would deliberately avoid the areas where Jiang Hang operated. As for clients who came to him after receiving a notice from Phantom Thief Kid, if Jiang Hang had a case on hand, he would politely decline, saying that he was currently handling other cases or was not in Tokyo.

Basically, he would only offer some advice when that old man, Jirokichi Suzuki, wanted to continue challenging Kaito Kid, but he didn't actually interfere much with Kaito Kid's cases.

Therefore, seeing the long-lost figure of Phantom Thief Kid, Jiang Hang really felt a bit itchy to take action.

But let's find out the specifics of Conan and the others' situation here.

After all, besides Kogoro Mouri and his two companions, as well as the long-absent Phantom Thief Kid, Jiang Hang also saw Sonoko Suzuki chatting with Ran Mouri.

Has this young lady gotten involved too?

When Jiang Hang was about ten meters away from their group, Conan, with his keen senses, had already noticed their approach.

It's clear that Conan looked quite surprised when he ran into Jiang Hang at the airport.

In other words, Jiang Hang never called Conan; it was just an accidental encounter.

As Shiho Miyano thought this to herself, she breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt somewhat helpless.

Since they bumped into Conan here, does that mean they're going to Hakodate together?

Given Jiang Hang's personality, he'll definitely invite them to go skiing in Reihoro together.

I don't know what they're going to Hakodate for. I hope they can stay in Hakodate for a few more days. That way, they'll only be together in Hakodate, and the rest of the trip will still be a three-person trip.

Shiho Miyano pondered this in her heart while looking at Kogoro Mouri, wondering why he was there.

"Hey, Brother Jiang Hang, what are you doing here? Were you invited here too?" Kogoro Mouri asked Jiang Hang with some confusion after seeing him.

As he said this, he looked behind Jiang Hang and suddenly felt his vision blur slightly.

Why is Jiang Hang always accompanied by two girls?

Last time it was Shizuka Sakaki and Yuno Kino.

This time it turned into these two sisters.

Damn it.

So what if he's younger and richer? Why are there always so many beautiful girls around him?

Kogoro Mouri silently grumbled with envy and jealousy, then said sourly to Jiang Hang, "You didn't bring your two assistants this time, so are you going on a date?"

Jiang Hang waved his hand and briefly explained that he had been invited by the governor of Hokkaido to attend the opening ceremony of the new railway in Hakodate, leaving Kogoro Mouri speechless.

The governor of Hokkaido is a very important person in all of Japan.

Jiang Hang also greeted the people around Kogoro Mouri and his group whom he had never met before, and asked Kogoro Mouri what he was going to Hakodate for.

Ran Mouri answered.

"This is Ms. Maki Juri, our client for this project. Her theater troupe received a notice from Phantom Thief Kid, intending to steal the Sapphire Star from her. My father and Conan thwarted Kid's plan last night, so Ms. Juri has invited us to her villa in Hakodate for a celebration party today..."

Then Sonoko Suzuki chimed in, "So I came along to join in the fun, and in this weather, I can also go skiing and relax at the ski resort in Hakodate."

Judging from Sonoko Suzuki's pretentious act, she's probably had another crush on some handsome guy that failed her.

Jiang Hang muttered to himself, while glancing at Shiho Miyano beside him.

Who would have thought that the two of them, without makeup and with the same hairstyle, could look 70-80% alike, to the point that even Gin would mistake one for the other.

The only difference is Sonoko Suzuki's mouth. As soon as this infatuated girl opens her mouth, basically no one notices her appearance.

Fortunately, when Jiang Hang first met Suzuki Sonoko, he was so busy completing commissions to earn money that he didn't pay much attention to his personal image, which is why Suzuki Sonoko didn't take a liking to him right away.

Later, because Jiang Hang became friends with her uncle, Suzuki Jirokichi, and seemed to be becoming Sonoko Suzuki's "elder," Sonoko Suzuki probably never had any feelings for him again.

Now, he and Sonoko can be considered friends who can exchange a few words.

In short, with the explanations from the two people, Jiang Hang quickly understood the situation.

He greeted the somewhat haughty-looking actress, Maki Juri.

However, the actress did seem quite arrogant, merely nodding coldly in response to Jiang Hang's greeting without offering any further comment.

The director of the theater troupe standing to the side seemed to be somewhat ingratiating towards Jiang Hang, as if he knew some of the details about Jiang Hang's side.

After greeting the theater troupe members, Jiang Hang skillfully picked up Conan and went to ask him about the situation.

"You've only just recovered from your injury and you're already acting recklessly again?"

He heard it from Ran: Conan had gone skydiving with Kaito Kid last night, chasing him all the way in the air with a small paraglider that Professor Agasa made for him.

"I was originally thinking of letting you rest for a few more days, so I didn't ask you to come along. I didn't expect you to really not take your health seriously."

Conan looked somewhat embarrassed by this.

After all, it was a request from Phantom Thief Kid, and he felt that his body was fine, so he was just being a little reckless.

"It's all because you refused to take the job. The client ran into a snag with you and then went to Uncle Mori for help. Uncle Mori made it clear that he would definitely not let Kaito Kid get away with it, so I had no choice but to put in a little more effort."

So that's why that woman was so arrogant towards me.

He usually leaves these kinds of things to Shizuka Sakaki and the others to handle. He's temporarily turning down all the requests related to Kaito Kid, which is why this woman is a bit grumpy with him.
