Officer Megure, who quickly gained a reputation for dispatching police officers, was negotiating with representatives from the Kingdom of Vespania. Behind him was Wataru Takagi, who was in charge of the report.
"A lethal enough poison was detected in the princess's red wine, and the ingredient is potassium cyanate."
"According to our interrogation, the man who was planning to poison the princess claimed to have been hired by someone and said it was just a prank and that the contents were just some 'specialties' from Miwa's local convenience store."
"As for the person who hired him, he said he was a man he met for the first time today. He seemed to be a foreigner, but his specific appearance and identity were unknown."
After hearing this, Officer Megure sighed softly and couldn't help but sigh that the Japanese people are not old-fashioned, "Really, they would commit crimes just for such a little money..."
I realized that this sentence seemed to belittle the poor public security in my country. Once something happened, the Kingdom of Vespania would have a reason to blame it in the future.
Memu quickly coughed, changed the subject, and returned the blame to the internal conflicts in the Kingdom of Vespania.
"Mr. Keith, based on what we know so far, there are some radical elements in groups in your country who are opposed to the princess's succession. Can you protect the princess on your own?"
The man whom Megumi calls "Chisi" is the person in charge of this mission from the Kingdom of Vespania, especially in terms of security.
Since Princess Mila has not officially succeeded to the throne, many diplomatic remarks are made by this man.
Keith put his hands in his pockets and stood in front of the glass window looking at the high-rise buildings outside without saying a word.
After a moment, he replied: "I think our royal bodyguards are enough."
The implication was that he refused the assistance of the Japanese police.
When Takagi Wataru heard this, the sense of justice in his heart couldn't help but swell, and he complained about the other party's professionalism, "Is that enough? Just these bodyguards who don't even take care of the kitchen?"
"Takagi..." Meguro stopped him symbolically.
But Qisi still turned his back and replied in a calm tone: "We have already agreed with the princess in advance not to touch anything at the banquet."
"However, I still want to thank you two for helping to catch the assassin."
Keith glanced back and looked at "Conan" and Mouri Kogoro who were sitting at the conference table and listening.
One of the two men noticed the assassin first, and the other knocked him down.
"Haha, it's nothing~"
"I just happened to smell the smell of cigarettes when I passed by the sommelier. I heard before that top sommeliers don't smoke..."
"Conan" smiled and scratched his head, his red and swollen face standing out.
Seeing this, Takagi Wataru asked with some confusion, "Speaking of which, Conan, what's wrong with your face?"
When this matter was mentioned, "Conan" became very angry.
I originally helped to catch the assassin and was doing a good job, but suddenly someone attacked me from behind and scratched my hair and face.
Later, I heard from the adults nearby that a child had attacked me from behind.
This child is about the same size as "Conan", and even his clothes are the same, except that he wears a brown paper bag on his head.
I was "beaten" for no reason, and the other parent just took the child away quickly without even a sincere apology.
This made Conan very unhappy.
But what can I do? I can't argue with a child and then ask Officer Megure to help catch him, right?
I guess it was because my clothes happened to match the clothes of that "kid", and the kid was dissatisfied, so he took revenge, right?
The kid now is really... I obviously wore this outfit first, starting ten years ago.
"Conan" himself is very confident about the copyright ownership of this set of blue skins.
At this moment, the alarm bell suddenly sounded in the corridor of the hotel.
The automatic sprinkler device sprinkled funnel-shaped water curtains in the corridor. Servants and bodyguards shuttled between the water curtains and quickly ran towards the room where Princess Mila was.
However, when everyone arrived at the presidential suite, the room was already empty.
Chis in the conference room also heard the contact from his subordinates through the headset and learned that the princess had disappeared.
"Send someone to look for her immediately. We can't let the princess leave the hotel!"
"I'll be there right away!"
Keith ran out the door first, followed by Officer Megure, Takagi Wataru, Conan, and Mouri Kogoro.
…
When we arrived at the princess's room, the automatic sprinkler system had been turned off.
In the damp room, Mouri Kogoro saw the lighter on the coffee table and speculated.
"The princess must have used a lighter to trigger the alarm, and then the person took advantage of the chaos and escaped from another room."
"It is indeed a presidential suite. The rooms are connected in all directions. It is really complicated."
Megure next to him immediately suggested setting up a cordon and asking the Japanese police to intervene in the matter.
But Keith remained resolute, saying bluntly that "it's not necessary."
On a matter where human life was at stake, Chisi made such arrogant judgments, which filled Takagi Wataru with righteous indignation.
Just as he was about to walk up to teach this arrogant man a lesson, he was pulled back by Mu Mu.
At this moment, the voice of his subordinates came from Qisi's headset.
"The princess has been found and is now on her way to protect her!"
"Very good, I want to bring Princess Wushang back."
Chisi's men seemed to be on the verge of solving the problem, and Megure and Takagi next to them also instantly lost their focus.
But just when everyone thought this farce was about to end, a painful whimper came from the headset.
"Uh...uh..."
"Hello? What's going on?" Keith quickly asked using the communication device.
After a while, a voice came from the headset, "Report, the princess was just taken away by a female high school student..."
"what's the situation?"
"I'm sorry, that female high school student is so good at hitting, I was careless and didn't dodge..."
Until now, Keith's face was finally no longer calm, and his expression was a little angry.
"How do you do things? You were given by a female high school student..."
When Megure saw this, he didn't have to unilaterally follow Vespagna's arrangements if the Japanese were meddling in the matter, and immediately asked Takagi to set up a cordon.
Takagi followed the order and left, and "Conan" also showed a mysterious expression that concealed his merit and fame, and quietly followed him away.
He came to the front desk of the hotel and used the number plate to take out the thing he had stored - a solar skateboard.
When he came to the banquet today, he had already guessed that something would happen tonight, so he brought Dr. A Li's latest invention in advance.
It is said to be the latest invention, but it is not entirely new.
Because solar skateboards have existed before, but at that time, whether it was engine power or the ability to run with solar energy and stop immediately when the sun was not shining, it lacked some practicality.
But after Dr. Ali’s improvements, it’s completely different now.
Holding the solar skateboard, "Conan" happily ran out of the hotel.
…
On the other side, in front of a shop window on the street, a female high school student was pulling a girl dressed as a princess and running away quickly.
Both girls are very good-looking, but if passers-by take a closer look, they will find that except for the huge difference in their clothing styles, their looks and figures are almost exactly the same.
The two of them ran to a quiet park as if running for their lives. The princess finally ran out of energy and shouted to stop, panting.
"No way...just stay here..."
Mao Lilan also stopped and looked back at the girl in front of her.
The two of them just happened to bump into each other. The incident happened suddenly and there was not much time to observe.
Now that I take a closer look, I see that he looks so much like me, like looking in a mirror.
It's just that the other party's dress is as if he has stepped out of a fairy tale. Both his clothes and the various shiny accessories on his body are very gorgeous.
When I looked down at what I was wearing, I saw that I was wearing a dark blue sailor uniform, which was a very ordinary Japanese high school student uniform.
However, Mao Lilan did not feel inferior like "Bao Guowei", but kindly helped him to rest on the bench.
During the conversation, the princess gradually opened up her heart. Like Taimei, she put her hands on the back of the chair and told her true identity and the reason why she was being chased.
"Eh? Really a princess?"
"Then what did I just do?" Mao Lilan thought of her merciless attack, thinking that she was teaching a lunatic a lesson, but she didn't expect that the other person was a legitimate person, so she quickly pulled the princess to get up.
"No, let's go back and apologize now!"
When the princess heard this, she quickly shook off Mao Lilan's hand and said, "You have to go! I finally escaped, so I won't go back!"
"Escape?" Mao Lilan asked doubtfully.
The princess lowered her head and thought for a moment, and seemed to have some unspeakable secrets. She just said: "It's been a banquet all day, and I'm tired of it..."
This speech in Versailles made Mao Lilan lower his head and said in shame: "I want to say something like this too..."
In fact, as the daughter of a famous detective and the best friend of a rich man, Mao Lilan has no shortage of banquets.
Moreover, many banquets are high-class banquets that are not accessible to ordinary people. For example, for today's banquet, Sonoko invited the Maori family.
It's just that almost all the banquets Mao Lilan attended, without exception, turned into murder scenes in the end, leaving her with the impression that she had never attended the banquet.
So Mao Lilan's subtext is, "I also want to attend a normal banquet."
At this time, the princess turned around and asked: "Do you have a cigarette?"
"Smoke?" Mao Lilan turned her head angrily, "I'm not an adult yet, how could it be?"
"How old are you?" asked the princess.
"17 years old! She is a sophomore at Didan High School, and she is still a blooming female high school student!" Mao Lilan said, tugging at the uniform in front of her chest to show that she was no longer young.
But in Princess Mila's eyes, Mao Lilan is still just a child.
"I thought we were about the same age, but it turns out I'm 2 years older than you~"
"Ah, it turns out you are already...hey! You are still underage after all!"
In Japan, adults are considered adults at the age of 20, which is relatively late in the world.
Mira smiled evilly on her face, "In Vespania, as long as you are 18 years old, you are an adult and you can smoke and drink..."
"Ah? So that's it..." Mao Lilan's expression was somewhat relieved, "It's a bit surprising. Does it turn out that the princess can also smoke?"
Mira's eyes were a little rebellious, but she pretended not to care, "I'm sorry, I ruined the image of a princess in your mind."
"But can't the princess smoke? I am also a living person, not a doll!"
Seeing that Mira was a little angry, Mao Lilan quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that..."
"It's just that as a girl, I will always yearn for it...even if it's just once, I want to be a princess..."
A faint blush appeared on Mao Lilan's face.
Although she is a girl who practices karate and sounds very tough, Mao Lilan is really a princess fan.
When Mira heard this, she had a plan in mind.
"Want to be a princess?"
"Um..." Mao Lilan's face was stunned, and she didn't know what the princess was thinking.
"Then come with me!"
Mira dragged Mao Lilan to the public toilet. After an indescribable change of clothes, the two of them switched to each other's appearance.
Mira looked at her masterpiece and nodded with great satisfaction, "Okay, from today on, you are a princess~"
"Is this me..."
Mao Lilan looked at herself in the mirror intoxicatedly. She was in a trance and didn't hear what Mira said.
When she realized something and looked back, Mira had disappeared.
…
On the street, Qin Zhibo was riding a mountain bike, driving Conan slowly through the center of the city.
Looking at the neon street scenes slowly moving back on both sides, with all kinds of passers-by passing through in the colorful light, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but sigh.
Sometimes, life should slow down and quietly appreciate the scenery on the roadside.
"Hurry~hurry~"
"Why is life always like this~"
As he rode closer and closer to the tram stop, Qin Zhibo prepared to get off the car, pushed the car to a secret corner, and put it into the prop column.
Just as Qin Zhibo was about to turn the corner, a familiar figure on the overpass was jumping down the steps.
"Xiaolan?"
Qin Zhibo took a quick look and saw the familiar girl with horns wearing a sailor uniform, looking like a cheerful little rabbit in the crowd.
This sound also made Conan, who had been thinking absentmindedly in the back seat, tilt his head and suddenly look forward.
Seeing the person he was most familiar with, Conan subconsciously shouted.
"Sister Xiaolan!"
However, this "Xiaolan" just passed by Conan and Qin Zhibo's bicycles, and walked towards the street with a smile without even saying hello.
This time, Conan's mentality collapsed even more.
Damn it, even Xiaolan doesn’t recognize me anymore...
Not only was her identity replaced by an impostor, but Xiaolan completely disowned herself.
The saddest thing about a person is not that he has become smaller, but that he has completely lost all traces of his existence.
"well……"
Conan sighed.
But when Qin Zhibo looked at Xiaolan jumping up and down, he felt something was wrong.
Even if Xiaolan doesn't recognize Conan, she should still recognize herself, right?
Although this Xiaolan has the name "Mao Lilan" on her head, she has curved horns, brown-grey hair, and gray-blue pupils.
This is not Xiaolan!
This is Princess Mira!
Qin Zhibo was a little surprised. Isn't Princess Mira in the hotel? Why did she appear here again? And she was wearing a high school uniform with the name "Mao Lilan" on her head.
While Qin Zhibo was thinking, Conan behind him was still looking at "Mao Lilan" in the distance, and suddenly he saw "Conan" driving a skateboard and found "Mao Lilan".
The two didn't exchange a word before "Mao Lilan" started running away, with "Conan" chasing behind.
Seeing this, Conan was eager to protect his wife and quickly grabbed Qin Zhibo's clothes.
