Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

Kogoro Mori, panting, said, "Brother Kitagawa, let's go!"

Inspector Megure said, "Wait a minute, there's someone else with you."

A few minutes later, a man wearing an earth-yellow overcoat and a felt hat walked over.

“This is my good friend, ICPO officer Koichi Zenigata,” Inspector Megure introduced. “When Inspector Zenigata was arresting Lu Ban III, he had the right to conduct searches in any country in the world.”

Yukichi Zenigata looked at Kogoro Mouri and said, "You must be the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, right?"

“I have heard about what happened. I will bring you to Besbania as my assistant, including to the royal palace.”

Kogoro Mouri said in a deep voice, "Thank you."

Mira, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but ask, "Officer Zenigata, has Lupin III set his sights on Bespania?"

Zenigata Yuki nodded and said, "According to reliable sources, Lupin is going to make a move on the Empress's Crown."

Mira exclaimed, "The Queen's Crown?"

That was an absolute treasure of Besbania, which she would only use when she ascended the throne.

Kitagawa Taki said, "Alright, let's board the plane first!"

……

on the plane.

Kogoro Mouri was pale; his fear of heights had flared up again.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri looking half-dead, Kitagawa Taki said, "Brother Mouri, how about some alcohol?"

Kogoro Mouri nodded listlessly.

Kitagawa Taki brought Kogoro Mouri a few bottles of beer.

Kogoro Mouri drank several bottles of sake in one go, and he felt like he had come back to life.

Kitagawa Taki looked at Mira sitting next to him and asked, "Mira, tell me about the situation in Besbania! Besides you, who else can inherit the throne?"

Mira said, "Duke Gilard is also my uncle."

Kogoro Mouri immediately made a judgment: "The mastermind behind this must be this guy named Gerard!"

Mira looked unwell and said nothing.

Kitagawa Taki thought Kogoro Mouri was right: Mira was dead, and the beneficiary was Gerard.

Perhaps even the Queen and the Prince were murdered by him.

……

Three hours later.

The group finally arrived in Bespania.

Kogoro Mouri and Koichi Zenigata went to the royal palace first, while Taki Kitagawa and Mira went to another place.

A place Mira was determined to visit before returning home, the place where her mother and brother died.

It was a huge cherry blossom tree, the late queen's favorite spot.

Pink cherry blossoms drifted down in the wind and carpeted the ground.

Mira walked alone to the tree, while Kitagawa Taki waited in the distance.

There are bouquets of flowers under the tree to commemorate the Queen and the Prince.

Upon arriving here, Mira couldn't help but think of her mother and brother.

"Mother, brother, this is all I have left. Even though I can't do anything else, I still came back. I have nowhere else to go but here where you are..."

Mira knelt down and burst into tears.

A few minutes later, after Mira had vented her emotions, Kitagawa Taki came over.

Kitagawa Taki took out a handkerchief and handed it to him.

"Thank you!" Mira took the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and stood up.

Kitagawa Taki asked, "Can you tell me about what happened back then?"

Mira said, "My brother and mother went hunting together. My brother aimed at the fox under the cherry blossom tree, but my mother was just trying to let the fox escape... Then my brother snatched my uncle's pistol when he arrived..."

Kitagawa Taki looked up at a broken branch, lost in thought. "Did a branch fall down back then?"

"Yes, she fell down with my mother when she was shot."

Chapter 198 The Mischievous Kogoro Mouri

Royal Palace.

"You must be the ICPO officer?"

Duke Gerard and his men greeted the two at the door.

Koichi Zenigata pulled out his ID and showed it, "I am Koichi Zenigata."

Kogoro Mouri introduced himself: "I am Kogoro Mouri, the assistant to Inspector Zenigata."

Girard gestured for the two to go first: "Alright, gentlemen, let's go inside and talk in detail."

……

VIP room.

Gerard and Koichi Zenigata are talking about Lupin.

Kogoro Mouri, under the pretext of searching for Lupin, searches for Ran throughout the palace.

Xiao Lan was having her meal served by two maids. She had already heard Qi Si explain the reason on the plane, so she accepted it all calmly.

Hearing Kogoro Mouri's calls faintly, Ran got up and opened the door, only to see Kogoro Mouri running towards her.

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

"Ran, stop talking, come with me!" Kogoro Mouri was overjoyed and pulled Ran away.

"Wait, Dad, let me hear you out first!"

Ran stopped Kogoro Mouri.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"

Keith entered the room.

"It's you!" Kogoro Mori said, about to punch Keith.

"Dad!" Xiaolan quickly stopped him.

Keith wasn't surprised to see Kogoro Mouri here. "Mr. Mouri, why don't you find out what's going on first?"

A few minutes later, the two told each other about their situations.

"Well, Mr. Mori, are you interested?" Keith asked.

He originally wanted to ask Kogoro Mouri and Taki Kitagawa to investigate the truth about the Queen and the Prince.

Kogoro Mouri crossed his arms. "Hmph, not interested."

"Mr. Mori, how about we calculate the commission fee in Japanese yen?"

Keith pulled out a calculator from somewhere, typed in a string of numbers, and showed it to Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened. One zero... two zeros... three zeros...

It cost a full 20 million yen, which is higher than the fee for his last commission.

I accept!

Kogoro Mouri snatched the computer away.

Ran was speechless at Kogoro Mouri's expression.

……

Shortly after Kogoro Mouri accepted the request and left the room, Taki Kitagawa and Mira returned.

"Taki!" Ran was delighted to see Kitagawa Taki.

"Xiao Lan, you're so pretty!"

Kitagawa Taki looked Ran up and down and praised her outfit.

Mira interjected, "I'm very sorry to have caused you all this trouble."

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Next, Xiaolan explained Qisi's request.

"Oh, so you wanted me to help you investigate!"

After visiting the crime scene, Kitagawa Taki felt that the case was quite clear, and all that was missing was direct evidence.

"Your Highness Mira, please have your meal first!"

The maid stepped forward and said.

It was already noon.

……

afternoon.

Kogoro Mouri had Keith gather everyone in the east room.

"Chiss, what's the matter? Why did you call us all here?"

While Gerard was asking about Keith, his gaze lingered on Mira, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Keith didn't say anything, but took a step back, letting Kogoro Mori step forward.

Kogoro Mouri said, "Ahem, the reason I called everyone here is because the deaths of the Queen and the Prince were not accidents, but murders disguised as accidents!"

"That day, the prince aimed at the fox that had run to the cherry blossom tree from the hill. When he fired, the fox escaped but the shot hit the queen."

As he spoke, Kogoro Mouri gestured, which looked quite comical.
