Lupine the Third and Daisuke Jigen were sitting on the grass, grabbing each other's collars and raising their fists in an undecided manner.
"Why is it you?"×2
Both of them were extremely shocked by each other's identity, and their eyes widened in disbelief.
Daisuke Jigen didn't expect that the person who attacked him while he was drunk was Lupine the Third.
Lupine the Third also didn't expect that the "dad" the kid mentioned was Daisuke Jigen.
"What the hell is going on? Explain it to me clearly!"
Daisuke Jigen roared towards the sky.
…
With an apologetic smile on Lupine III's face, the matter finally became clear.
"In other words, you tracked the kid next to that mysterious man and found me in the bar?"
Lupine III rubbed his hands and nodded sheepishly, "Yes, yes..."
Jigen Daisuke endured the pain of being beaten on the head by Lupine III and asked: "But I brought that kid out of the palace. He has been staying in the palace since yesterday..."
"You said that kid is with a mysterious man. Could it be possible that the kid can also master the art of cloning?"
There was a trace of surprise in Lupine III's eyes, and he immediately passed the blame to Fujiko Mine next to him.
"This information was told to me by Fujiko..."
When Daisuke Jigen saw Fujiko Mine, his face was full of helplessness, and he complained in a low voice: "I knew that nothing good would happen if I met this woman..."
Fujiko Mine, as an intelligence provider, created a lot of trouble for Lupine's team.
Daisuke Jigen and Goemon both had a headache for this woman, and even hated it, but Lupine the Third had an inexplicable "love" with this woman, and there was nothing they could do.
Fujiko Mine also looked innocent and spread her hands, "I don't know. The man on the plane must have been with that kid..."
"That's even more wrong. That brat came on a royal plane with the Vespagna envoy. How could he be on a plane you defrauded from who knows where?"
Jigen Daisuke's expression suddenly dawned on him, he pointed at Fujiko Mine's nose and said: "This must be your way of dividing us!"
"I thought I saw you holding a baseball bat in your hand just now! Are you planning to kill Lupine and me?"
After being reminded like this, Lupine III also remembered that Mine Fujiko was very dishonest just now and seemed to want to sneak attack him from behind.
Lupine III had a dark face and pressed towards the woman, "Fujiko, is this true?"
"Um--?"
The two people's targets suddenly turned to Mine Fujiko, who could only forcefully explain with a smile: "Hey, why are you all blaming me, a weak woman, for your civil strife..."
"Don't bring this kind of thing~"
"Yamei——!"
While the three of them were entangled, Mira walked back from the path leading to the hill and looked at the three of them with a puzzled expression.
"What are you doing?"
The three of them turned their heads at the same time and realized that Mira was back.
There was a trace of tears on the pretty little girl's face, and there was a blush around her eyelids. It seemed that she had cried hard just now.
As if seeing a savior, Fujiko Mine escaped from the double attack by Lupine III and Daisuke Jigen and hid behind Mira.
"These two bad men want to bully me, my long-legged sister~"
When Mira heard this, she pinched her waist angrily, "Really? In the name of Princess Vespania, I order you to stop your rude behavior immediately!"
This made Lupine the Third and Daisuke Jigen feel helpless, and the villain Fujiko Mine complained first.
But the two of them have gotten used to it.
However, when Daisuke Jigen saw Mira, he knew that this must be the real princess, and his face was a little surprised.
"Lupine, why is the princess here with you?"
Before Lupine could tell the answer, Daisuke Jigen remembered what Keith had said that he hired a professional to protect the princess.
When the princess was in Japan the day before yesterday, she and Lupine were still stealing ore from the mine, so it was impossible for Keith to hire Lupine.
So that means...the professional hired by Chis is actually Fujiko Mine.
"Eh……"
After thinking clearly about the logic behind this, Daisuke Jigen slapped his forehead helplessly and sighed sincerely.
What a sin...
…
The three of them discussed it and decided to follow the agreement and send Mira safely back to the palace first.
In the car, in order to prove that he was not lying, Fujiko Mine handed over the found true identity of "Conan" to Lupine III and Daisuke Jigen for circulation.
The two of them were very surprised when they saw the news reports and simple character profiles on the website.
"No wonder that kid is so smart..."
Lupine the Third thought of his first meeting with the kid. It was obviously not a judgment that a primary school student could possess.
"But it's still a little worse than me~"
Lupine the Third once again showed off his beauty, he was the one who deceived Conan with a video recorder.
Daisuke Jigen, who was in the co-pilot, also saw that the kid seemed to be no ordinary person, but he never expected that he turned out to be a miniature version of the famous Japanese high school detective.
Daisuke Jigen returned the laptop to Fujiko Mine in the back seat, "But even so, it doesn't make sense why there are two brats at the same time?"
Regarding this point, Fujiko Mine was also very puzzled.
If Daisuke Jigen's "father" is fake, that mixed-race man should be real.
But that man is not the famous writer "Kudo Yusaku" either.
Is the information wrong?
still……
I really can’t tell...
…
Royal Palace of Vespania.
Conan escaped from the bar owner with his nimble skills, but because he lost his "dad" as a local guide, he could only return to the palace with nothing.
Chis was quite surprised to see Conan come back alone.
"Conan, where is Mr. Jigen?"
"Dad..." Conan subconsciously wanted to call him father again, and quickly changed his words: "Mr. Jigen was kidnapped by a man wearing a red suit who looked like a monkey."
Keith frowned, with a question mark on his face.
"Mr. Jigen is an internationally renowned professional gunman... and he was actually captured?"
The short-haired subordinate beside Qisi took a step forward, "Maybe it's the enemy that Teacher Jiyuan made before, right?"
"Well..." Keith nodded, "That's all I can think of."
Conan grinned with a helpless expression. If the uncle hadn't been drinking during the day, things wouldn't be like this.
He didn't know yet that it was the tracker stuck under his drink can that led Lupine there.
"Captain, what should we do now? There is one less powerful ally around us..."
The disappearance of Daisuke Jigen has made the already weak Princess Party even weaker, with almost no one left to trust.
Just then, a guard at the door came to report.
"Report, an ICPO police officer has applied to enter the palace to investigate, and Duke Kilard is meeting him."
Keith was a little surprised, "What are the people from Interpol doing here at this time?"
"Let's go take a look first." Cun Tou's subordinate suggested.
"Um."
Just as Chiss was about to leave, Conan wanted to follow him to see the excitement, but was stopped by Chiss.
"Kid, just stay in this room and protect Miss Mori."
Conan glanced at Mao Lilan on the sofa and thought that was right. Wasn't he chasing the plane just to protect Xiaolan?
"Um!"
Conan nodded vigorously and returned to Mao Lilan.
Keith left the room with his men.
At the same time, at the side entrance of the palace, a square-faced man wearing a khaki trench coat and a dark felt hat raised his police officer ID card.
"My name is Kouichi Zenagata, and I was ordered to search Lupine III."
"Welcome, everyone, please proceed first..." Duke Kilard had a deep smile on his face and was about to greet people in when he looked at the man in a dark blue suit with a mustache following behind him.
"Who is this……?"
The man with the mustache took the initiative and gave a standard salute, "I am Assistant Mouri Kogoro of the Zenigata Police Department. Please allow me to start the search immediately!"
Kirad was startled for a moment, "Don't worry, let's sit down and drink some tea first..."
But before Kirad could finish his words, Mouri Kogoro rushed into the palace and shouted: "Lupine! Lupine..."
The guard at the door didn't know why, and didn't know whether to pursue him or not. Fortunately, the Qianxing Police Department was able to smooth things over.
"Don't worry about that guy for now, just let us talk..."
…
In the palace, Mouri Kogoro ran wildly in the corridor, shouting "Lupine" constantly.
Of course, he didn't really come to Lupine, but to his daughter.
Yesterday morning, Chis, who originally only wanted to use Mao Lilan to hold a press conference, suddenly brought Mao Lilan on a special plane, which caught the Japanese police and Mao Lilan off guard.
Kogoro Mouri was eager to save his daughter, but the Japanese police were unable to enforce the law across borders, so Officer Megure contacted his old friend, the Kanagata Police Department who worked at ICPO.
The Zenigata Police Department is Lupine's full-time investigator and can conduct transnational law enforcement in any ICPO member country.
Therefore, the Zenigata Police Department issued a notice of assistance to the investigation to Visbania, and brought Kogoro Mori to this country.
In this way, Mouri Kogoro can legitimately enter the palace to find his daughter.
"Lupin!"
"Lan! Lan!"
"Where are you!"
Mouri Kogoro is no longer in the role, and the heart-wrenching screams can only be made by an old father who has lost his beloved daughter.
Mao Lilan and Conan, who were sitting in the room enjoying lunch, also vaguely heard shouts outside.
Conan: "This sound seems to be..."
Mao Lilan: "It seems to be dad?"
Suddenly, the door was knocked open, and Mouri Kogoro, who seemed to have telepathy, found the room accurately and rushed in.
"orchid!"
"dad!"
Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan happily met, and the father and daughter held their hands together excitedly.
Conan stood aside and looked at the father and daughter, with a happy smile on his lips.
"Lan! Are you okay? Lan!"
"Don't be afraid, come back from this hellish place with me!"
Maori Kogoro thought that Maori Lan was forcibly detained here.
But in fact, Mao Lilan was brought to Vespania in a daze at first, but after hearing about the current situation in the kingdom, the kind-hearted Mao Lilan decided to stay and help.
At this time, Qisi came back after checking the situation from outside, "What's the sound? So noisy?"
When Mouri Kogoro saw that it was the man who stole his daughter, he was immediately furious.
"You bastard!"
"You really dare to do it! Take my punch first and then talk!"
Mouri Kogoro rushed towards Chisi angrily, but fortunately Mourilan and Conan stopped him, so there was no real fight.
After Mao Lilan's explanation, Mao Li Kogoro gradually calmed down, but he still hugged his shoulders angrily and replied forcefully.
"These are just your words. There is no evidence to prove that Duke Kilard is the criminal who killed the queen and the prince."
"But..." Mao Lilan wanted to argue, but Mao Li Kogoro refused.
"You are too naive, Lan... Your kid is also a count, right? Logically speaking, he is qualified to inherit the throne, so you can frame Duke Kilard, right?"
Conan was a little shaken when he heard Kogoro Mouri's reasonable doubts.
Indeed, so far they have only heard about the character Kirad from Chiss, and no one has stipulated that this person must be a villain?
But if Chis is the one who covets the throne, then Princess Mira may have...
Conan was thinking about the worst outcome with a gloomy look on his face. A smile appeared on Keith's lips and he took out a calculator from his arms.
"I finally understand why your master is so powerful..."
Keith thought Conan was the son of Kogoro Mouri, but Kogoro Mouri quickly corrected this.
"Not my son, just a foster kid."
But Keith didn't care, he just pressed a number on the computer and added a few "0"s after it.
"I would like to ask people like you to conduct an honest investigation..."
"Of course, the entrustment fee is settled in Japanese yen, which is roughly this number."
Keith handed the calculator to Mouri Kogoro. Moori Kogoro, who was very disdainful one second, his eyes widened in the next second, snatched the calculator and looked at it in disbelief.
Mao Lilan: "Dad..."
Conan shook his half-moon eyes: This expression seemed to have been seen when his mother handed him a bankbook of 10 million in child support...
“#……@#*￥#@”
"I accept your commission!"
…
In the forest, a man wearing camouflage uniforms cut through obstacles and headed deep into the forest.
Unlike the bustle on the streets of the capital, the nature reserve is very quiet.
Suddenly, there was a rustling in the trees ahead.
Qin Zhibo stood still, quickly bent down, and the Lord of the Rings materialized in his left hand, ready to turn into a "predator" and flee at any time.
However, after waiting for a while, the movement in the trees did not expand, but spread to the distance one after another.
Qin Zhibo slowly poked his head out and saw that it was not a hidden whistle in the forest, but a deer freely foraging in the forest.
When Qin Zhibo stuck his head out, the deer also turned its head and looked back at Qin Zhibo.
One person and one deer, eyes facing each other.
But soon, the deer lowered its neck and buried its head deep in the bushes.
"call……"
Not being noticed by the secret whistle, Qin Zhibo's tight heart relaxed.
However, this also shows from the side that I am probably still quite far away from the specific location of the mine.
Checking your watch, it's already 1pm.
I hope I can find the location of the mine before dark...
Qin Zhibo prayed in his heart and continued to move in the original direction.
The deer standing on the other side was burying its head in the dense trees.
The black nose on the front of the deer's head was sniffing around the corpse of a soldier with charred flesh and blood.
