Conan Rick's Investigator

Fujiko Mine straightened her back and restored a safe distance from Conan.

She had already seen that the little boy in blue with the paper bag on his head was the one who was not firm in his determination towards women, as he was clearly not old enough to stand up.

On the contrary, the man in the brown windbreaker, who was about to be beaten by a man, was more determined in his attitude.

It's tricky...

"Alright kids, let's go too."

Fujiko Mine rode the pink motorcycle parked in front of the convenience store, but did not let Conan sit on the back. Instead, she put him in front of her, which was a safer position.

"Please wear your helmet~"

Fujiko Mine forced the helmet onto Conan's head again. Strangely, the helmet, which was designed for adults, fit perfectly on Conan's head.

After putting on the helmet, Conan wanted to look up at the road ahead, but something hit his head.

Conan knew what it was. He had experienced this motorcycle riding position before, and it was even more open.

"Well, aunt..."

Upon hearing this name, Mine Fujiko frowned and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Call my sister."

"Ah? Sister..."

Conan didn't know why, but he subconsciously wanted to call the other person "Auntie".

Maybe it’s because Fujiko Mine is too similar to the woman in my memory.

……

Qin Zhibo got the taxi fare and quickly got in a taxi with Mira to Haneda Airport.

On the way, Mira was still a little upset and didn't want to return to the Kingdom of Vesbania.

She looked at the street scene with an unhappy face, and suddenly said, "I want to drink Coke."

Qin Zhibo: "No, there are none here."

Mira: "So I asked you to get off the car and buy it..."

Qin Zhibo: "I bought it after getting off the car, so I can't."

Hearing the perfunctory answer and strange tone, Mira clenched her fists angrily, "I am a princess! I command you as a princess!"

Qin Zhibo, who was standing next to him, remained unmoved. "Strictly speaking, you are not a princess now. You are a Japanese commoner, 'Mouri Ran'."

"Have you forgotten? The 'real' Princess Vesbania has already flown back home..."

Qin Zhibo successfully exploited an identity bug. If the police exploited a bug, he would also be exploited.

Mira hugged her shoulders, glanced at the driver in the front seat who couldn't help but listen, and said with a sly smile: "If I shout that you are a bad guy now, passers-by will call the police and catch you~"

Qin Zhibo nodded noncommittally, "Oh... but you will be caught by the police and eventually sent back to a place you don't want to go."

Mira gritted her teeth in anger: “You…!”

Qin Zhibo continued, "With your status, do you think you can find a place to stay in Japan?"

"You don't want to return to the Kingdom of Vesbania, you just want to escape what you have to face."

"The death of my mother and brother, the distrust of the people, the political struggles within the royal family, the conflicts of interest between countries..."

"But my life experience tells me that some things are destined, and only by facing them head-on can you create a new life."

"Simply avoiding the problem won't solve the fundamental problem. Although avoiding it is shameful, it's also useless..."

Qin Zhibo's words made Mira put away her "fangs", lower her head deeply, and there was a look of struggle in her expression.

"Your current actions are not only an escape, but also pushing another young girl into a life that does not belong to her."

"Vesbania has been suppressing the news of your disappearance from the Japanese police. I'm afraid they want to have that girl take your place and expose the mastermind behind the kingdom's misfortune."

"But you should know the dangers involved."

"You two just met by chance. Are you going to put others in danger just because of a similar face?"

"Or are you just such a selfish person..."

When Qin Zhibo said this, his tone was calm and his face was expressionless. He didn't even look at Mira next to him.

But these words, like a deafening bell, knocked on Mira's psychological defenses.

"I'm not……"

Mira's voice was as weak as a mosquito's feet.

Qin Zhibo: "What?"

"I'm not a selfish person..." Mira buried her head, "I'm just... afraid to face..."

Qin Zhibo: "Afraid of death?"

Mira shook her head without hesitation. "I'm afraid that the kingdom left by our mother will be destroyed in my hands. My brother could have become a competent king, but something like that happened..."

Qin Zhibo shrugged and said casually, "It's a good thing to have pressure. At least it means you still care."

"But pressure is one thing, and ability is another. If you lack the ability, you can establish a parliamentary system, and the king can just be a mascot with his portrait printed on coins."

"If you live longer like this, maybe you can become a world-famous queen~"

Qin Zhibo actually originally thought that the queen of the Kingdom of Vesbania was such a character, but he didn't expect that the queen of this world would also participate in politics. It was really incredible.

It's so tiring to devote myself to the decision-making of the kingdom. It's easier to be a "mascot".

When Mira heard this, it was as if the door to a new world had opened for her.

"Is this... okay?"

"Why not? The parliamentary system itself is a more advanced system than the monarchy. It prevents the king's incompetence from leading to the decline of the kingdom as a whole. However, the king himself must understand the method of checks and balances to ensure his status among the people and maintain high popularity. He must also establish a leader with real power who can guarantee him, and also establish mutual confrontation within the parliament..."

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo stopped talking.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have said too much, which was inconsistent with the subsequent development of this world line.

Mira's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was very much looking forward to this new system of "enjoying without working".

"anything else?"

"Also, you can look it up in the book yourself. It's all in the book..."

Mira curled her lips and turned her head to the side seemingly in disdain, but in fact she had already set a goal in her heart.

Parliament is a good thing...

……

During the conversation, the taxi arrived at Haneda Airport.

Along the way, the driver heard an argument coming from the back seat and wanted to call the police as soon as he discovered the problem.

But in the end, the middle-aged mixed-race man and the girl did not quarrel again.

Qin Zhibo and Mira got out of the car and saw Mine Fujiko and Conan already waiting at the airport gate.

The four of them met up and confirmed that there was no problem with the people they were going to bring with them. Only then did Fujiko Mine go aside to make a phone call.

After a while, Fujiko Mine came back wearing a beautiful stewardess uniform.

"The plane is ready, come with me."

Under the leadership of Fujiko Mine, the few of them successfully passed through a VIP channel and entered the hangar at Haneda Airport.

Fujiko Mine arrived in front of a Gulfstream G-series business jet and turned around to say seriously, "Welcome aboard, everyone."

The three of them boarded the plane and found that it was just as Mine Fujiko had said, there was not a single crew member, it was an empty plane.

But the supplies inside are complete and the facilities are quite luxurious. It seems to be a private jet used by rich people on business trips.

"Come on, little friend."

"It's time to test your flying skills~"

Fujiko Mine led Conan to the cockpit at the front of the plane and closed the door heavily.

Qin Zhibo and Mira found a seat across the aisle, fastened their seat belts and prepared to set off.

After waiting for two minutes, the plane slowly started and drove out of the hangar.

Qin Zhibo looked outside through the porthole.

Such a large plane slowly drove towards the take-off runway, but no one asked any questions along the way, and there was not even a security check.

And it only took one phone call from Fujiko Mine to completely open up the connections.

The last time this capability was achieved was when the Suzuki Group flew its special plane "Sunflower" from the United States to Japan.

It seems that the "power" of Fujiko Mine is even greater than he imagined.

Mine Fujiko's big breasts and hot body made Qin Zhibo think of Vermouth in the organization.

In terms of the hotness of their bodies, the two are equally matched.

But Mine Fujiko appears more charming and provocative, while Vermouth is inherently more dangerous.

Is there a possibility that the Vermouth in this world is Mine Fujiko?

It is true that there are black organizations in this world, but the characters within the organizations do not necessarily correspond one to one.

Besides, I have never contacted or investigated Fujiko Mine, so I don’t know her true identity. It is very likely that “Fujiko Mine” is a pseudonym.

But what is Fujiko Mine's purpose in contacting Princess Mira?

Want to support a puppet to control the entire Kingdom of Vesbania?

In Qin Zhibo's opinion, the boss of an organization should have such a big vision, otherwise it would be a shame for his experience of living for more than a hundred years.

But on second thought, if Tsathoggua didn't exist in this world, how could the boss of the organization have such an extremely long life?

If longevity can be explained by chance, then how do we explain the drug that makes Conan smaller?

The predecessor of this drug is "Silver Bullet", which is a targeted drug research for deep diving syndrome and is related to the descendants of "deep divers".

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo stared blankly at the void in front of him, feeling more and more that something was wrong.

If this world is "magic-free", why would the old seal appear in Ran Mouri's room?

The pattern on the metal badge is undoubtedly the "Old Seal", the seal described in Ludwig Prin's "The Secret of the Worm", which has certain powers to repel demons and evil spirits.

But the "self" in this world is not in Japan at all, and does not know the Mori family. How did Xiaolan receive the old seal?

And where did the “old seal” itself come from?

The more Qin Zhibo thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and then he realized that he had overlooked some important issues.

Chapter 1068: The Witch's Banquet

The plane slowly accelerated on the takeoff runway, and with a violent turbulence, the tower outside the window became farther and farther away.

Take off...

After the plane stabilized, Qin Zhibo unbuckled his seat belt and took out the [Laptop] he had drawn earlier from the prop column.

Qin Zhibo had tried this computer before. Except for the lack of a charger, all other functions could be used normally, including the network.

After turning on the computer, Qin Zhibo first searched for "deep diver".

The webpage quickly popped up relevant information—the Deep Diver, a creature from Kudo Yusaku's "The Shadow of Moezhou Rising," a humanoid marine creature with fish-like features, seemingly possessing eternal life, a highly intelligent race...

Qin Zhibo looked at the entries and fictional pictures on the web page and his eyes were stunned.

Isn't this the Deep Diver?

The only difference is that the "Deep Divers" in this world are purely fictional creatures created by Kudo Yusaku. According to interviews, they were inspired by the ancient Phoenician murals of fish-men and the Japanese mermaid legend.

Is this what Kudo Yusaku wrote?

Should this be considered... a strange story?

However, in the character entry of Kudo Yusaku that Conan searched, Kudo Yusaku is a science fiction writer.

When Conan mentioned some works written by Kudo Yusaku before, Qin Zhibo didn’t pay much attention to it. So this is the kind of work written by Kudo Yusaku?
