Chapter 1060 "The Peak Crime"(1/2)
Conan glanced at Qin Zhibo in disbelief, then tilted his head and glanced at the checkpoint at the door.
There was obviously a rush of people at the door, and many guests were still queuing up for inspection, but Qin Zhibo jumped in directly?
Is it by brushing your face?
But just relying on facial recognition to enter some ordinary banquet venues, this is a reception for the mission of the Kingdom of Vespania. For security reasons, how can it be possible to just let in people without invitations.
"You..." Conan's eyes were full of suspicion, "Is there an invitation?"
Qin Zhibo raised the corners of his mouth, shook his head and smiled: "How is this possible? I don't have it~"
The truth is often told in a joking tone.
But Conan did not give up, and instead became more determined that Qin Zhibo had an official invitation.
If you think about it carefully, even a detective of the level of Mouri Kogoro has an invitation. With Qin Zhibo's reputation established at the "Sunflower" press conference not long ago, there is no reason not to receive an invitation.
In this case, the fact that Qin Zhibo was able to locate this hotel just now was not due to his terrifying observation skills, he just knew the answer in advance.
snort……
Conan felt unconvinced and went straight into the banquet hall without saying anything else.
But Qin Zhibo grabbed him at the right time, "If you just go there like this, if you meet another 'Conan' or meet other acquaintances, wouldn't you be betrayed on the spot?"
"If you want to investigate secretly, it's best to change your appearance, and it will be easier for me to distinguish."
Although Qin Zhibo has investigator vision, ordinary investigative vision cannot distinguish people who actively hide their identities.
Conan looked up and down at his outfit. He didn't know Kaitou Kid's disguise and disguise skills, so it was not easy to change his appearance.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Qin Zhibo thought for a moment, "Wait a moment..."
After saying that, he walked to a waiter next to him and whispered something.
The waiter nodded in agreement, and after a while, he brought back a brown paper bag containing bread.
Qin Zhibo poked two holes in the paper bag with his fingers, and then put the paper bag on Conan's head.
"Okay, no one can recognize you now."
Conan touched the paper bag on his head. Although it was impossible to be recognized this way, but...
"Isn't this weird?"
Qin Zhibo: "It doesn't matter, others will think you are a child with autism, or you are playing the protagonist of a video game."
Conan: "..."
…
Just like that, a well-dressed adult walked into the banquet hall with a little boy wearing a brown paper bag beside him.
Along the way, many guests cast curious glances.
Since the delegation representative of the Kingdom of Vespania would deliver a speech at the front stage, the guests wanted to see the foreign guests, so a lot of people gathered here.
Among the crowd, Qin Zhibo took advantage of his height advantage to spot Mouri Kogoro in a white suit first.
Next to Mouri Kogoro were Sonoko and "Conan" in rose red evening gowns.
"over there."
Qin Zhibo instructed in a low voice. The brown paper bag version of Conan next to him looked in the direction of his gaze and saw three familiar people.
Especially when he saw "Conan" next to him with his hands in his pockets, Conan in the paper bag gritted his teeth angrily.
How dare you imitate my stance!
"Let's act separately first..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Conan quietly slipped towards where "Conan" and the others were.
When he reached a position where he could almost hear the conversation clearly, Conan quickly ducked under a round dining table. The floor-length cherry blossom pink tablecloth was just enough to hide its presence.
Qin Zhibo stood there, looking at Mouri Kogoro in the distance, and was not in a hurry to go up and say hello.
If "Conan" is really Mi-Go pretending to be Mi-Go, then if he steps forward now, he will definitely arouse the other party's vigilance.
What needs to be clarified most now is the purpose of Mi-Go's appearance at this banquet.
First of all, the Mi-Go family attaches great importance to unknown ores, and the Kingdom of Vespania just happened to discover the veins of this ore.
Mi-Go appeared at this banquet, maybe to threaten the mission of the Kingdom of Vespania?
Qin Zhibo glanced at the guests around him. Some of the "guests" had strong figures and wireless headsets hanging on their ears. From time to time, they scanned the entire venue with vigilant eyes.
The most important thing is that the occupation above them is security personnel, and they don't look like Japanese.
In other words, the security work at the scene was arranged by the Kingdom of Vespania, and it was likely that there was a big shot in the mission.
Who this big shot is is still unknown.
But what Qin Zhibo doesn't understand is why such an important state visit plus a banquet was not even mentioned in today's morning news program?
…
Conan, on his side, successfully sneaked to the position closest to "Conan" and others, and began to eavesdrop on the conversation of several people outside the tablecloth.
"Really~"
"It's a rare opportunity to meet many handsome guys from the entertainment industry and sports stars, but Xiaolan said she has karate practice?"
"Conan" next to him complained helplessly, "Sister Mariko, you still like these very much."
Yuanzi continued to complain, "It's true that Xiaolan is still so enthusiastic about karate. I have no idea what she thinks."
At this time, Mouri Kogoro put his hands in his pockets and walked to the side, "She said she would come even if it was a little late, so..."
Yuanzi tilted his head and wondered: "So?"
"Conan" rolled his eyes in the direction where Mouri Kogoro left, "Do you even need to ask? He must be looking for Okino Yoko..."
Listening to the conversation of several people, Conan, who was squatting under the tablecloth, couldn't help but clenched his fists.
This fake "Conan" is so good at playing himself that even he, as the real person, can't tell the difference, let alone the son of a Maori uncle and a young boy who live together under the same roof day and night.
To be able to act like oneself so much must be someone who has often observed oneself in life.
But who is it?
Conan was thinking in his heart, but he never imagined that there was such a person around him.
If I had to say who it was, it would have to be Hui Yuan Ai.
Before, when she took a temporary antidote and briefly regained her identity, Haibara Ai had pretended to be herself, and even Hattori Heiji was fooled.
Could it be Haiyuan?
But what reason does that guy have for doing this?
Conan frowned and decided to continue observing.
…
"Conan" and Sonoko here took some food from the buffet table and ate it happily with their plates.
Mouri Kogoro also walked back at this time, leaning on the dining table, with "loss" written all over his face.
Sonoko glanced at him and asked, "Is Yoko here?"
"well……"
Mouri Kogoro sighed, and before he could answer, "Conan" smiled and said, "You can tell by the look on your face that uncle is gone, hahaha..."
"Hahaha..." Yuanzi also laughed out loud.
This scene made Conan, who was observing secretly, clench his fists again, feeling angry in his heart.
I'm not that mean!
Conan was dissatisfied with the fake "Conan" mocking his father-in-law, but now that he appears, many things cannot be explained clearly.
Besides, as a detective, your real ability is to solve incidents by your own means!
Therefore, Conan still chose to be patient and wait for the opportunity for the fake "Conan" to appear alone.
Wow——
At this moment, the lights in the venue suddenly went out, and only the lights leading to the stage were still bright.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the front, where a host walked to the microphone and began to make a solemn announcement.
"Keeping everyone waiting!"
"Next, please welcome today's special guest, Princess Mila of the Kingdom of Vespania, with warm applause!"
Amidst the applause of the crowd, the red curtain opened to both sides, and a girl in luxurious clothes appeared on the stage.
The girl has a valuable gold headband with precious stones on her head, a pearl necklace and a ruby necklace on her snow-white neck, and she is wearing a red and white evening dress with half-revealed shoulders.
Qin Zhibo, Conan, "Conan" and others all saw the girl on the stage from their respective positions, and couldn't help but be surprised on their faces.
To be continued...
