Conan Rick's Investigator

There were eleven people, including two children, and two cars were just enough for them.

Moreover, Ishikawa Goemon never sat on the seat when riding in public transportation because it was impossible to meditate there. He would simply jump onto the roof of the vehicle and sit cross-legged in meditation.

Qin Zhibo and Conan, the "father and son", were riding in Lupin the Third's car. The space inside the car was very large. Lupin the Third and Jigen Daisuke sat in the front seat, the father and son sat in the back seat, and Ishikawa Goemon sat on the roof.

Qin Zhibo took a look and found that there was one person missing from the car, Feng Fujiko.

I turned around and looked at the car next door, but Fujiko Mine was not there either.

At this time, Lupin III in the front seat suddenly said: "Fujiko has something urgent to do, so I won't go today~"

Jigen Daisuke asked in confusion, "Is it so sudden?"

But Lupin III didn't understand and shouted, "Everyone hold on tight and get ready to go!"

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly under the mask and glanced at Lupin III's meaningful smile in the rearview mirror.

He felt that the monkey man's words were deliberately meant for him.

But before he could ask what was going on, the car started.

After a few days of maintenance, the Fiat 500 has been completely repaired, regained its powerful power, and drove out of the yard in a hurry.

When Inspector Zenigata saw this, he was not willing to be outdone and stepped on the accelerator.

"Hold on tight! Let's catch up to them!"

Don’t ask, if you ask, it’s just that my occupational disease has struck again.

At the same time, at the window of the apartment building, "Ran Maori" with a sly smile on her face looked at the two cars that drove out of the yard one after another, and waved her fingers up and down in front of the window, making a farewell gesture.

"Bye, bye~"

When going downstairs just now, Fujiko Mine quietly withdrew from the team and had no intention of watching the coronation ceremony with everyone else.

The reason was that when she was watching the duel just now, she suddenly thought of how to get back at "Bean Head Dad".

When they were on a plane together before, he tried to use drugs to assassinate "Bean Head Mr." but failed and ended up being knocked unconscious himself. Two stacks of US dollars were also taken away from him.

Although the money lost is not much, the loss of face is a big deal.

Therefore, Fujiko Mine has to find a way to get back at Mr. Bean, which means stealing things.

Just now during the duel, Fujiko Mine accidentally discovered that the Chelsea shoes on Mr. Bean's feet looked very expensive.

It is covered with golden patent leather, exquisite workmanship, and inlaid with very precious red and green gems. It is estimated to be worth a lot of money.

Fujiko Mine decided to steal the shoes to compensate for her "loss".

She moved away from the window and walked lightly to the room rented by the "Big Head Son and Small Head Dad" group.

I turned the doorknob and found it was locked.

But it doesn't matter. For a female thief like her who specializes in doing tricks, such a door lock is just a piece of wire.

Fujiko Mine took out a piece of wire and poked it into the keyhole. After a few pushes, the lock core clicked and the door opened.

She quickly pushed the door open and walked in, not forgetting to close it behind her.

The room was tidy, but Mine Fujiko immediately noticed the black backpack on the table.

Got it!

Her face lit up with joy, and she quickly walked to her backpack and unzipped it.

The most obvious thing inside was the pale mask, the one the man had worn during the duel just now.

But when Fujiko Mine took it in his hand and weighed it, the surprised expression on his face immediately faded.

This is the most common wooden mask on the market. It has no precious inlays and the craftsmanship is not exquisite. It is not even as valuable as the golden mask worn by the father and son.

Fujiko Mine threw the mask onto the sofa next to him and went to search for other things in his backpack.

But what surprised her was that there was nothing else meaningful in the backpack, just some medicine powder, men's shorts, socks, etc.

What about Chelsea shoes?

What about the yellow robe?

Where is the sword?

Mine Fujiko immediately lowered her requirements. As long as she could find any one of these three things, she would not lose out.

But she searched the entire room like a mad woman, searching every corner carefully, but she couldn't find even the shadow of these three things.

what's the situation? !

Fujiko Mine had a surprised expression, even though it was using Ran Mouri's face.

She clearly remembered that when the man came back, his clothes and shoes were changed back to normal. Logically, these two things should have been placed in his room.

Can you carry it with you?

Fujiko Mine shook her head. She felt that it was impossible for a normal person to hide so many things on his body.

It’s okay to hide the robe, but how can shoes and swords be hidden on a person without being discovered by anyone?

How is this possible without Doraemon's treasure bag?

Therefore, she still felt that Qin Zhibo had hidden the things in the apartment building, but not in his own room, but in any corner of the apartment building.

Fire hydrants, ventilation ducts, mailboxes, trash cans... these are all possible places.

"Humph, I don't believe I can't find it..."

Fujiko Mine sneered and immediately began a "spring cleaning operation" throughout the building.

……

On the other side, Qin Zhibo, who was sitting in the car, did not realize that his home had been stolen.

In other words, they don't care what happens to those worthless junk in their "hometown".

You can take anything you want, such as underpants, torn socks, etc.

He turned his head and looked out the car window. A considerable number of people had gathered on both sides of the street, and a large number of police officers had set up cordons to maintain order on the street.

At every intersection along the parade route, police will set up checkpoints to check vehicles, and only those with special passes will be allowed to enter the parade route.

Lupin III and Inspector Zenigata had passes issued by Captain Chis, the Royal Guard, affixed to the front windows of their cars. They drove easily into the parade route, enjoying the attention of the crowds on both sides of the street, and then drove into the palace with a swagger.

Dozens of luxury cars were parked in the palace's parking lot. They were the dignitaries from all over the world who came to congratulate, as well as prominent elites from all walks of life.

Everyone parked the car in an inconspicuous corner, got off the car, and headed to the auditorium under the guidance of the greeter.

The entire coronation process is as follows: first, there are some simple meeting ceremonies in the palace, and then the parade begins.

According to previous coronations, the ceremony would start from the royal palace and go all the way to Vespasian Cathedral for the coronation.

However, Chis judged that the cathedral's terrain was not suitable for heavy defense, so the coronation would start from the palace, and after the parade, return to the palace for the coronation.

In this way, all the troops only need to concentrate on defending one place in the palace.

Therefore, what Chis is most worried about is unexpected situations occurring during the parade.

Although he had set up heavy firepower points at every commanding height along the parade route, he still could not be 100% assured.

Therefore, Chis arranged for those who had participated in "Operation Royal Palace" to march with the parade.

These include: Tomohiro Hata, Conan, Kogoro Mori, Yusaku Kudo, Koichi Zenigata, Lupin the Third, Daisuke Jigen, and Goemon Ishikawa.

As for Ran Mouri and the "Conan" in this world, one has changed his body and the other is an elementary school student, and theoretically has no combat power.

In addition, the matter itself was too dangerous, so he simply stayed in the palace throughout the whole process and watched the live broadcast like other distinguished guests from other countries who came to watch the ceremony.

The group walked on the red carpet that stretched all the way to the palace gate. The guards on both sides stood straight, though some of them still had tiny scars on their faces.

Although they tried to cover it up as much as possible with foundation, it was still obvious that these guards had suffered external injuries not long ago.

And when these guards saw Lupin the Third and Ishikawa Goemon, their eyes subconsciously avoided to the side.

"hey-hey……"

Lupin III shook his head embarrassedly. These guards were the same ones who had been beaten up by him and Ishikawa Goemon before.

The ceremony was held in the auditorium on the east side of the palace.

This place is decorated very gorgeously. The hall is magnificent and all kinds of dazzling crystals are decorated everywhere as if they are free of charge.

The group was about to enter, but the guards in charge of security checks at the door stopped them.

Because it was obvious that someone had violated the rules.

Ishikawa Goemon walked through the metal detector door with his Zantetsu sword in his arms, which immediately triggered a sharp beeping alarm.

The guests inside were attracted by the sound and turned around to see a long-haired man in a kimono stuck at the security checkpoint at the door.

"Sir, please leave this knife with us for safekeeping. We will return it to you after the ceremony."

The guards were quite polite.

But Ishikawa Goemon had a cold expression on his face and said coldly, "A true swordsman never leaves his sword..."

"Forehead……"

This made the atmosphere around them a little awkward, because even Lupin the Third couldn't make Ishikawa Goemon give up his sword.

Fortunately, at this time, a voice came from not far away.

"Let them in, they are my friends..."

The guard turned around and immediately put his legs together and saluted.

"Captain Chiss!"

Chapter 1116 Queen's Guard

Chis raised his hand, signaling the guard not to salute.

Thanks to the captain of the Royal Guard, Qin Zhibo and others were able to bypass the beeping metal detector and enter the auditorium through the side passage.

"this way please……"

I followed Qis into the auditorium for a while, and along the way I met either dignitaries in suits and ties, or celebrities in luxurious clothes.

In addition to the celebrities standing outside the auditorium, getting to know and chatting with each other, many people had already taken their seats inside the auditorium where the ceremony was held.

The aisle in the center of the auditorium is paved with long black and white stone bricks. It is the path that the new king needs to walk during the coronation ceremony and is known as the "King's Road" by the outside world.

On both sides of the "King's Road" in the area paved with diamond-shaped stone bricks, hundreds of chairs are neatly arranged in several rows extending to the front of the coronation chair.

The closer the seat is to the coronation chair, the more important the king is to you and the more you are the guest of honor of the entire country.

"Some of you are in the front..."

Qis led Qin Zhibo and his party forward, through the long royal road, until they reached the front row. The nearest chair was even only a few steps away from the coronation chair.

Qin Zhibo counted and found there were exactly eleven empty chairs.

"Please assign yourselves yourselves to the specific positions. I will go check on Princess Mira first. We will see you later."

Qis turned and left, leaving everyone confused.

Although these people are well-known figures in their respective fields, this is the first time they have participated in such a solemn coronation ceremony.

In particular, there were already some guests sitting in the seats around. They looked at Qin Zhibo and others with confusion and puzzlement in their eyes.

Who are these people?

In the eyes of outsiders, these people dress casually in different styles, some wearing yellow windbreakers, some wearing jeans, some wearing white kimonos, and some wearing casual clothes.

There were also children, people wearing masks, and even more terrifying was that there were people holding samurai swords in their arms.

How could these weird people sit in the most important position at the coronation ceremony?

In fact, if Qin Zhibo didn't have to serve as a guard for the parade later, he would also like to wear a decent and polite suit to attend such an important occasion.

But since they were already there, they might as well make the best of it. Qin Zhibo and others ignored the gazes from around them and began to assign seats.

"There are 11 seats in total, but there are only 10 of us."

Kudo Yusaku noticed this problem and raised it.

Mao Lilan also looked around and found that "she" was absent.
