Conan Rick's Investigator

The mobile phone leaked some sound, and everyone in the darkness heard the anxious voice.

"Fishermen found the lost lifeboat on the sea. That lifeboat had never been to the shore!"

"Scooping is here..."

Before the voice on the phone ended, a red laser dot shone on Officer Shiratori's right eye.

"careful!"

Conan, who was the first to be alert, immediately shouted, and Officer Shiratori also reacted quickly and lay down on the ground nimbly.

Bio——

The silent bullet shot into the air, hitting the stone wall and making a hollow echo.

Officer Shiratori's flashlight fell to the ground, and the red laser dot, having lost its target, immediately shifted towards Kogoro Mouri who was holding the flashlight.

This red laser, like the gaze of the god of death, climbed up the right cheek of Mouri Kogoro, but Mouri Kogoro was still unaware.

"careful!"

Conan shouted quickly, but Kogoro Mouri's reaction was far less sharp than Officer Shiratori's. He turned around and asked, "What's going on?"

In desperation, Officer Shiratori raised his hand and threw the safe containing the "Egg of Memories" at Kogoro Mouri.

Bio——

The bullet missed again, and Kogoro Mouri fell to the ground in shock, with the flashlight falling to the ground.

At this time, in a dark environment, anyone who gets close to the light source will become an obvious target.

But Mao Lilan didn't know this and still reached out to pick up the flashlight.

"Xiaolan!"

“Don’t pick it up!”

In desperation, Conan rushed towards Ran Mouri without hesitation and knocked her to the ground.

For so many years, what Kudo had always wanted to do to Mao Lilan was finally realized after he became smaller...

Bio——

The bullet grazed past again, hitting the stone wall and making an ethereal echo.

"Everyone get down, don't move!"

Only then did Kogoro Mouri react and shouted orders to everyone.

In the chaotic darkness, a black shadow flashed by, picked up the safe thrown on the ground by Officer Shiratori, and rushed towards the corridor leading to the ground.

Scott is going to run!

Conan quickly turned on the watch-shaped flashlight again and chased after him desperately. Officer Shiratori also picked up the flashlight on the ground and followed closely behind.

However, Conan and Officer Shiratori were still a step too late. When Soldier Scott reached the ground, he immediately locked the floor door, trapping the two of them underneath.

"There should be some mechanism here that can open this door..."

Following Officer Shiratori's suggestion, Conan immediately began searching on the surrounding stone walls.

After searching for a while, Conan used his height advantage to find a low stone brick with some gaps in it.

"This should be it..."

Conan pressed the stone brick and the floor door above his head moved open.

Meanwhile, Scout had already sprinkled gasoline all over the castle, and flames were blazing.

After lighting the fire, Scott quickly rushed outside with the safe on his back, but was stunned by a child's voice.

"Wait a moment!"

"Do you want to escape from here alone?"

"Scooping!"

"Or should it be Miss Pu Siqinglan?"

In the atmosphere of fire, Conan and Officer Shiratori stood together and met Pu Siqinglan head-on.

……

At the same time, in the darkness, Qin Zhibo decisively ran towards another corridor with the help of his night vision goggles.

While running, Qin Zhibo put on the things that Matsumoto Ryohei brought him.

He replaced the brown windbreaker with a black wool coat, and wore a bald human skin mask brought by Matsumoto Ryohei on his head.

Although this human skin mask was the first one he made and gave to Matsumoto Ryohei, and the workmanship was very poor, it could still be mistaken for a real one in such a dimly lit place.

After changing his clothes, Qin Zhibo chased forward a little bit and just saw a figure climbing up to the ground through a rope ladder.

"Scooping!"

"I finally found you!"

The figure in front suddenly stopped and turned around slowly.

In the dim vision, the darkness slowly receded, revealing a graceful figure in a white suit.

The name that appeared above her head was Natsumi Kosaka!

Chapter 229 There is usually only one truth, usually...

In the center of the front hall where the flames were burning fiercely, Conan and Officer Shiratori stood together, confronting Pu Siqinglan opposite them.

"You pretend to be Chinese, but you are actually Russian."

"If you change the permutations of your name 'Pusi Qinglan', it will become 'Rasputin'."

"You are actually a descendant of the Russian evil monk Rasputin!"

"You believe that all the Romanov dynasty's treasures should belong to Rasputin, who is friendly with the emperor. That's why you took all the Romanov dynasty's treasures into your own hands on behalf of your ancestors..."

"Mr. Kamikawa Ryu was killed by you because he possessed the Maria Ring, right?"

"The missing tapes were merely a decoy to divert police attention, so they would believe they contained footage of Scott's true face."

"As for the reason why Mr. Nishino was killed, it was because he spoke ill of your ancestors during the tea party yesterday afternoon."

Conan knew that the other party had a pistol in his hand, so even if he had two people on his side, he could not act rashly. He could only state his own reasoning first to shake the other party's psychological defenses.

As for these inferences, they were actually just something I suddenly thought of after hearing about Nishino Masato's death from Officer Shiratori's phone call.

When Conan saw Rasputin's signature on the photo of Kosaka Natsumi's great-grandfather and Rasputin, he didn't make any connection at first.

But now, all the clues are clear.

There is usually only one truth!

Conan on the side confidently stated a series of reasonings, and Officer Shiratori looked at Conan with some surprise.

On the cruise ship during the "Dark Star" incident, when Kuroba Kaito disguised himself as Mao Li Ran, he was a little concerned about Conan, who seemed a little different from ordinary children.

It’s just that Qin Zhibo’s performance was too eye-catching throughout the whole process, and Conan was overshadowed, causing Kuroba Kaito to not pay much attention to this child.

But now it seems that this child should not be simple.

The last time he disguised himself as Ran Mouri, Kuroba Kaito investigated the people close to Ran Mouri in advance in order to avoid OCC.

Among them is a high school detective named Kudo Shinichi, who is a childhood sweetheart of Mao Li Ran.

However, Kudo Shinichi has disappeared for half a month. Rumors from outside have it that Kudo Shinichi was retaliated against and is probably finished.

But judging from Ran Mouri's usual mental state, Kudo Shinichi should have contacted her privately to report that she was safe.

Since he is still alive, but refuses to show up, is there any reason why he cannot show up?

Conan enrolled in Teitan Elementary School half a month ago, which was exactly when Kudo Shinichi disappeared.

A smart child, a famous detective who disappeared...

Could it be!

Although it is a bit magical, even Koizumi Akako can use magic, so what kind of magic can't Kuroba Kaito accept?

At this time, Conan did not know that Kuroba Kaito had guessed his true identity, and he was still confronting Pu Siqinglan with full confidence.

"Am I right? Pu Siqinglan..."

"No!"

"Scott Bing."

Conan's voice was loud and powerful. Despite his childish appearance as an elementary school student, his words were as unquestionable as those of a famous detective.

however……

Pu Siqinglan smiled contemptuously and said calmly, "Unfortunately, almost all of your reasoning is wrong..."

"what!"

Conan and Kuroba Kaito, who was wearing a white bird skin, both showed surprised expressions.

"The only thing you said right was Xi Ye's death. He slandered our ancestors, so I executed him in my own way..."

"As for the rest, I don't need to tell you."

"because……"

Pu Siqinglan slowly placed the box containing the "Egg of Memory" on the ground, and at the same time reached into the handbag slung over her shoulder.

Seeing this, Conan and Officer Shiratori immediately entered level one combat readiness.

"Be careful! She should still have a lot of bullets in her pistol..."

As soon as Conan finished speaking, Pu Siqinglan took out two short-handled sickles from her handbag.

"Because you are going to die soon..."

Conan was shocked when he saw the sickle in Pu Siqinglan's hand.

Bulletproof glasses are not useful?

……

A standoff is also underway at another exit of Yokosuka Castle's vast underground system.

"The legendary international criminal 'Scoop' was famous for sniping out his right eye and stealing the Romanov dynasty's treasures, but no one could have imagined..."

"Scooping is actually two people!"

Hearing this, Kosaka Natsumi's shoulders trembled slightly, but her eyes were still firm and fierce as she stared at the bald Wu Ke in a black woolen coat in front of her.

Qin Zhibo now has a bald head and tries to keep his voice as low as possible, so that Kosaka Natsumi cannot associate the bald man in front of her with Qin Zhibo.

Although Qin Zhibo did not master the skill of voice changing, he had a voice changing expert by his side - Ma Chengshi.

Based on the experience taught by Masei Shimizu, although Qin Zhibo can no longer change his voice or disguise his voice as a female as he pleases, he can at least speak in a different voice from his original one.

And that's enough.

"Let me tell you a story..."

"The origins of this story can be traced back to the Romanov dynasty, when Rasputin was at the height of his power in 1916."

"Back then, he relied on his power, which was close to that of the emperor, and his supreme elder status to sleep with almost all the noble girls, including Nicholas II's third daughter, Maria."

"In December of the same year, Rasputin was assassinated, but Maria was already pregnant at that time."

"Rasputin predicted that after his death, the Russian emperor's rule would collapse within three months, so he arranged for his trusted aides to take Maria out of Russia in advance."

"Then, just as predicted, the February Revolution broke out the following year and the Romanov dynasty fell."

"But before that, Rasputin's trusted subordinates had already moved the pregnant Maria and took away a large amount of treasure."

"And this trusted subordinate must be the man in the photo with Rasputin, your nominal great-grandfather, the legendary craftsman known as the 'Magician of the End of the Century'—Kiichi."

"Kiichi fled to Japan with Maria, and Maria gave birth to two babies on the stone bed in this castle, in the underground hall just now."

"These two babies are actually your and Pu Siqinglan's grandfather or grandmother."

"You and Pu Siqinglan both have the Gray Child because you and she are both descendants of Rasputin and Maria!"
