I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

"Please tell me the truth, where is Princess Mira right now?"

“If you’re still going to hide the truth from us now, then I might just take my men and leave.”

"I believe that with your remaining manpower, you should not be able to withstand such a high-intensity attack."

This statement was almost a threat.

However, the members of the gold watch group were among the high-ranking officials of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

It's impossible for them to actually evacuate.

He knew Princess Mira wasn't in the room, but he couldn't simply use her absence as a reason to leave.

If the members of the gold watch group really did evacuate, then Princess Mila would be in the room even if she wasn't actually there.

The high-ranking officials of the Japanese Public Security Bureau are not capable of offering help when someone is in need, but they are very good at kicking someone when they are down.

He would never do such a thing.

However, given the current situation, it is imperative to ascertain Princess Mira's location immediately.

Therefore, the members of the gold watch group deliberately used this as a reason to threaten Count Keith, hoping he would reveal the truth.

Upon hearing this, Earl Keith fell silent.

Determined to remain defiant, he insisted that Princess Mira was still in her room.

However, he wasn't sure if the man in front of him, who claimed to be a Japanese public security officer, would actually lead his men to evacuate.

For him personally, as long as he could ensure that Princess Mira's whereabouts were not revealed, whether she lived or died was not of much concern.

However, these subordinates were all his trusted confidants whom he had brought from the Kingdom of Vesbania.

It doesn't matter if he dies.

If these people know perfectly well that Princess Mira is not in the room, or that if she is, she is only one of her maids, yet they still choose to fight to the death here.

He not only let down these close associates.

These close associates could also mutiny.

At that point, not only would they be unable to conceal the fact that Princess Mila was not in her room, but these trusted confidants would also lose their lives in vain.

After much deliberation, Count Keith finally and honestly told the members of the gold watch group about the situation.

Princess Mira has run away.

"She switched places with her maid, and now we don't know where she is."

Upon hearing this, a question mark appeared above the heads of the gold watch group members.

It's not that I have a problem.

Rather, I think you have a problem.

Are you kidding me?

How could you allow the person you were protecting to run away using such a low-level tactic?

The expressions on the faces of the gold watch group members changed repeatedly.

He now felt that the quality of these guards from the Kingdom of Vesbania was probably several levels lower than that of the police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Its intensity is even lower than that of stray dogs on the roadside.

Even the stray dogs on the roadside bark twice when they smell something off about the princess.

The members of the Visbania Kingdom's guard were completely unaware of this.

Instead of you guarding the door, I might as well hire two dogs to guard the door!

The gold watch group members wanted to hurl a few more insults, but the enemy had already appeared at the end of the corridor, so they calmed down and spoke.

"Forget about Mira, let's fight first."

……

The operation against the Tokyo Grand Hotel was an unexpected failure.

Even though the rebels in the Kingdom of Vesbania had some idea of ​​what would happen in this operation, they did not expect it to fail so miserably.

If it weren't for the fact that the number of traitors within the guard team exceeded their expectations...

They probably won't even be able to reach the protective floor where Princess Mira is.

The squad leader of the rebel army from the Kingdom of Vesbania was hit by a stray bullet and died on the way.

The morale of many rebels in the Kingdom of Vesbania immediately began to waver.

With such a tight net in place, even if they manage to capture Princess Mira, they might not be able to take her out.

Even if Princess Mira is used to threaten Tokyo or the Kingdom of Vesbania.

It's likely that once they handed over Princess Mira, the Kingdom of Vesbania immediately broke the previous agreement.

Thus, in the eyes of many rebel members of the Kingdom of Vesbania.

It seems there is only one way to go.

Although they had no way to capture Princess Mira alive and send her out of the Tokyo Grand Hotel as leverage to threaten the Kingdom of Vesbania.

However, they could transport the Vesbanian gems from the Kingdom of Vesbania to Tokyo, intending to steal them for tomorrow's exhibition.

Although the average education level of the Visbanian rebels is not very high.

However, they still knew that the reason why the Kingdom of Vesbania had fallen to this state was because the Kingdom of Vesbania's specialty mineral, Vesbania, could not be sold.

Vesbania gemstones are high-purity Vesbania mineral crystals.

If they were to take this Vesbania gem out of the country, it would also cause a change in the internal situation of the Vesbania Kingdom.

The Visbanian rebels already had men stationed outside.

All they need to do is get the Vesbania Gem and send it out, even if they can't get out.

The Vesbanian rebels responsible for the rendezvous will also find the Vesbanian gem.

At that time, the members of the Vesbanian rebels will naturally know how to use the Vesbanian gem to achieve their common goal.

The moment they joined forces to storm the protected floor, the two groups that had been cooperating instantly parted ways.

The traitors within the Vesbanian guard were actually appointed by the Duke of Vesbanian; they were not there to help the Vesbanian rebels at all.

It was simply to find a suitable reason for Princess Mira to remain in Tokyo and never be able to return.

Therefore, although the traitors within the Vesbanian guard couldn't help but curse at the Vesbanian rebels' sudden actions.

But once the gun is fired, there's no turning back.

This ironically created a mole within the Vesbania guard, who continued to advance towards the room where Princess Mira was located.

The Visbanian rebels, dressed in various styles, instead moved towards the room where the Visbanian gems were stored.

This somewhat bizarre scene left Earl Keith completely bewildered.

He believed that the mole within the guard was in cahoots with the terrorists.

But now it seems a little different.

In Count Keith's mind, although the Vesbania Gem was important, it was insignificant compared to Princess Mira.

Therefore, if those terrorists were truly after the Visbania gemstone...

So the remaining traitors within the Vesbania Guard, if they weren't heading for the Vesbania Gem, then they were after Princess Mira.

After much thought, Earl Keith quickly came to an answer.

The moles within these Vesbanian guards are probably not people colluding with terrorists at all.

It was arranged by the Duke of Vesbania.

Only the Duke of Vesbania could have planted so many traitors within the Vesbania Guard so quietly.

Count Keith had previously seen things somewhat vaguely and was not quite sure whether they were actually sent by the Duke of Vesbania.

But now that they have parted ways with those terrorists, their purpose is self-evident!

“…Damn it.”

Earl Keith's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He made up his mind.

The goal is to rid Princess Mira of the great threat posed by the Duke of Vesbania.

The most sophisticated assassinations often require only the most direct methods.

He planned to conceal a weapon on his person so that when he met Duke Vesbania again, he could simply go up and stab him!

In this way, Duke Vesbania would surely die, and Princess Mira's danger would be averted.

Even if it makes him a sinner in the Kingdom of Vesbania, or is hated by Princess Mira, he would not hesitate.

Loyalty requires no reward.

Loyalty itself is the best reward.

……

At that very moment, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers guarding the Visbania Gem Room heard the approaching sound of hurried footsteps.

Nakamori Ginzo's heart sank even further.

He looked at Hakuba Saguru, lowered his voice, and said.

"Hakuba Saguru, move a little behind me. No matter what, we can't let anything happen to you."

After all, they are official police officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department who receive salaries.

Although Hakuba Saguru holds the title of police advisor, he is just an ordinary high school student.

How can we allow high school students to put themselves in danger?

Upon hearing this, Hakuba looked up at Nakamori Ginzo and nodded slightly.

"I see."
