Conan Rick's Investigator

This ATM is broken...

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo took out his bank card and put it into the card slot of another ATM.

This time it’s still the same reminder: information reading error.

"That is why ah?"

Qin Zhibo put the bank card into the last ATM again, but the result was the same.

"What a coincidence! All the ATMs are broken?"

Unable to withdraw money, Qin Zhibo could only put the bank card back into his wallet, feeling a little annoyed. Why couldn’t he withdraw money at this time?

Recalling that the wallet had once been in the hands of a female thief named "Mine Fujiko", could it be that the female thief replaced the bank card at that time?

Qin Zhibo took out the bank card again and checked it carefully, but found nothing.

Moreover, even if the female thief got the bank card, she would not know the password. Her own password is relatively complex and not easy to try out.

If the female thief didn't switch the items, there was only one possibility left.

Demagnetized.

The bank card technology of this era may not be advanced enough, and even the magnetic clasp on the leather bag can easily demagnetize the bank card.

Qin Zhibo remembers that when he was doing business at the counter, he met an old lady with a demagnetized bank card who insisted that her bank card was magnetized.

After asking, the teller found out that the old lady heard that her bank card was demagnetized last time, so she went home and put the card and the magnet together for several days.

However, as someone who had experienced this, Qin Zhibo felt that he should not have made such a low-level mistake and it was impossible for his bank card to be demagnetized.

Forget it...

Knowing the cause of the problem, Qin Zhibo stopped worrying about it, put away his wallet and walked out of the bank.

Looking down at Conan standing at the door, Qin Zhibo said calmly, "The bank card has been demagnetized and we can't withdraw money. We can only take the tram back."

Conan: "..."

Conan didn't answer, but stood there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo walked to the alley next to him and took out the [Mountain Bike] he had won in the lottery from the prop column.

The tram station was some distance away, and he didn't want to hold Conan in his arms all the time, as if he was kidnapping a child. He would definitely be stopped by the police on the road.

Pushing the bicycle out, Qin Zhibo carried Conan to the back seat and sat on the front seat himself.

"catch me."

Conan mechanically raised his hand and grabbed Qin Zhibo's collar.

"Let's go~"

In this way, Qin Zhibo rode his bicycle with Conan on his back and rode towards the distance.

Chapter 1060 Conan: My mentality collapsed!

Sakura Blossom Hotel, conference room.

Inspector Megure, who is known for his quick response time, is negotiating with representatives from the Kingdom of Vespania, with Takagi Wataru behind him, who is in charge of reporting.

"A lethal poison was detected in the princess's red wine. The ingredient is potassium cyanate."

"According to our interrogation, the man who was going to poison the princess claimed to have been paid to do so. He said it was just a prank and that the poison contained only some 'specialties' from a local convenience store."

"As for the person who hired him, he said it was a man he met for the first time today. He seemed to be a foreigner, but he didn't know his specific appearance or identity."

After hearing this, Inspector Megure sighed softly, lamenting the Japanese people's change of heart. "Really? They commit crimes for such a small amount of money..."

He realized that this statement seemed to be somewhat disparaging of his own country's poor public security. If any accident happened, the Kingdom of Vesbania would have a reason to shift the blame.

Megure quickly coughed lightly, changed the subject, and put the blame back on the internal conflicts of the Kingdom of Vespania.

"Mr. Chis, based on what we know so far, there are some radical elements in your country who oppose the princess's succession to the throne. Can you protect the princess?"

The man whom Megure called "Chiss" was the person in charge of the Vesbania Kingdom's delegation, especially in terms of security.

Since Princess Mira had not yet officially ascended the throne, many diplomatic statements were issued on her behalf by this man.

Chis stood in front of the glass window with his hands in his pockets, looking at the tall buildings outside without saying a word.

After a moment, he replied, "I think our royal bodyguards are enough."

The implication is that he refused the assistance of the Japanese police.

Upon hearing this, Takagi Shigeru's sense of justice swelled, and he began to complain about the other party's professionalism, "Is that enough? With these bodyguards who can't even take care of the kitchen?"

"Takagi..." Megure symbolically stopped him.

But Qisi still turned his back and replied calmly, "We have already agreed with the princess not to touch anything at the banquet."

"But I still want to thank you both for helping to capture the assassin."

Chis glanced back at "Conan" and Maori Kogoro who were sitting at the conference table and listening.

One of the two men was the first to notice the assassin, and the other knocked him down.

"Haha, nothing~"

"It was just that I happened to smell cigarettes when I passed by that wine taster. I heard that top wine tasters don't smoke..."

"Conan" smiled and scratched his head, his red and swollen face was very conspicuous.

Seeing this, Takagi Shigeru asked in confusion, "By the way, Conan, what's wrong with your face?"

When mentioning this matter, Conan felt very angry.

He was helping to catch the assassin, and was doing well when suddenly someone attacked him from behind, scratching and pinching his hair and face.

Later, I heard from the adults nearby that a little child attacked me from behind.

The child was about the same size as Conan, and even wore the same clothes, except that he wore a brown paper bag on his head.

He was "beaten" for no reason, and the other parent just quickly took the child away without even a sincere apology.

This made Conan very unhappy.

But what else could he do? He couldn't possibly argue with a child and then ask Inspector Megure to help him catch him, could he?

I guess it was because his clothes happened to be the same as that "little ghost", and that little ghost was dissatisfied, so he took revenge?

Kids nowadays are really something...I was obviously the first one to wear this outfit, starting ten years ago.

Conan himself is very confident about the copyright ownership of this blue skin.

Just then, an alarm suddenly sounded in the hotel corridor.

The automatic sprinkler system sprinkled inverted funnel-shaped water curtains in the corridor. Servants and guards shuttled between the water curtains and quickly ran towards the room where Princess Mira was.

However, when everyone arrived at the presidential suite, the room was empty.

Chis in the conference room also heard his subordinates' communication through the headset and learned that the princess had disappeared.

"Send someone to look for her immediately. The princess cannot be allowed to leave the hotel!"

"I'll be there right away!"

Chis was the first to run out the door, followed by Inspector Megure, Takagi Wataru, Conan, and Mouri Kogoro.

……

When we got to the princess's room, the automatic sprinklers had been turned off.

In the damp room, Kogoro Mouri saw the lighter on the coffee table and speculated.

"The princess must have used a lighter to trigger the alarm, and then someone took advantage of the chaos to escape from another room."

"It's worthy of being a presidential suite. The rooms are interconnected and complex."

Megure, who was standing next to him, immediately suggested setting up a cordon and letting the Japanese police intervene in the matter.

But Chis remained firm and said bluntly, "There is no need."

When it comes to matters involving human lives, Chis made such an arrogant judgment, which made Takagi Shigeru feel indignant.

Just as he was about to walk up and teach this arrogant subordinate a lesson, he was pulled back by Megure.

Just then, the voice of his subordinates came from Chis's headset.

"The princess has been found and is now on her way to escort her!"

"Very good, we must bring the princess back unharmed."

Chis's men seemed to have solved the problem, and Megure and Takagi next to them were suddenly at a loss.

But just when everyone thought the farce was over, a painful whimper came from the headset.

“Uh… uh…”

"Hello? What's going on?" Chis quickly asked using the communication equipment.

After a while, a voice came from the headset, "Report, the princess has just been taken away by a female high school student..."

"what's the situation?"

"Sorry, that high school girl was so good at fighting, I was careless and didn't dodge..."

Until now, Chis's face was no longer calm, and his expression was a little angry.

"How did you do it? You were given…"

Megure, who was behind, saw this and realized that since the Japanese were involved, there was no need to unilaterally follow Vespania's arrangements, so he immediately asked Takagi to set up a cordon.

Takagi took the order and left, and "Conan" also showed a mysterious expression of hiding his merits and fame, and quietly followed him away.

He went to the hotel front desk and used his number plate to retrieve his deposited item - a solar skateboard.

When he came to the banquet today, he had already guessed that something would happen tonight, so he brought Dr. Agasa's latest invention in advance.

It is said to be the latest invention, but it is not completely new.

Because solar skateboards existed before, but at that time, whether it was engine power or the ability to run when the sun was shining and stop immediately when the sun was gone, they lacked practicality.

But after Dr. Agasa's improvements, it is now very different.

Holding the solar skateboard, "Conan" ran out of the hotel happily.

……

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 beautiful, but if passers-by look closely, 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 for their lives to a quiet park. The princess finally became exhausted and shouted to stop, panting.

"No... let's do it here..."

Mao Lilan also stopped and turned to look at the girl in front of her.

The two of them just happened to bump into each other. It happened suddenly and there was not much time to observe.

Now that I look at him carefully, he is so much like me, it’s like looking in a mirror.

But the other person's outfit seemed like something out of a fairy tale. Both the clothes and the various sparkling accessories on the body were very gorgeous.

Then he looked down at his clothes. He was wearing a dark blue sailor suit, which was a very common Japanese high school uniform.

However, Mao Lilan did not feel inferior like "Bao Guowei", but instead kindly helped the other party to rest on the bench.

During the conversation, the princess gradually opened up her heart, and with her hands on the back of the chair like a little girl, she told her true identity and the reason why she was being chased.

"Eh? Really a princess?"

"Then what did I do just now?" Mao Lilan thought about her ruthless attack and thought she was teaching a lesson to a pervert who was following her. Unexpectedly, the other party was the legitimate one, so she quickly pulled the princess up.

"No, let's go back and apologize now!"

The princess quickly shook off Mao Lilan's hand when she heard it, "You go if you want to! I finally escaped, I won't go back!"

"Escape?" asked Mao Lilan in confusion.

The princess lowered her head and thought for a moment, as if she had something to hide. She only said, "I'm tired of banquets all day long..."

This Versailles statement made Mao Lilan lower her head and said with shame: "I also want to say this..."
