Conan Rick's Investigator

"That's it, my son and I will go first~"

Qin Zhibo grabbed Conan and jumped out of the cabin door without waiting for the gangway to be fully extended.

Looking at the two people who disappeared, Mira shook her head with a complicated expression.

What a strange father and son...

Chapter 1072: You Need to Pay More...

Qin Zhibo jumped off the plane holding Conan and ran quickly towards the outer circle of the airport under the cover of night.

After a while, a luggage tractor drove along the runway towards the plane that had just landed.

However, the person sitting in the tractor was not an airport staff member, but a man in a red suit.

Conan looked back in Qin Zhibo's arms, and the man's appearance immediately reminded him of the voice that had just appeared in the walkie-talkie.

"Lupin the Third?"

"should be……"

Qin Zhibo also stopped and took another look.

But at this time, the man in red in the tractor seemed to sense something and looked over here.

Qin Zhibo immediately bent down and crouched on the grass, blending into the night.

The man in red just glanced over here once more, then looked away and jumped onto the plane from the lowered gangway.

Conan looked at the man's back and was still a little worried.

Although Lupin III seems to be in cahoots with Fujiko Mine and should not harm Fujiko Mine's target, he is a thief from a parallel world after all, and no one knows what kind of person he is.

How could he not be worried when Princess Mira was handed over to the Phantom Thief and the Female Thief?

Especially since Mira looks so much like Mao Lilan...

Qin Zhibo glanced down at Conan and knew that Conan was worried.

In order not to affect the world line, Qin Zhibo had proposed the best solution to Princess Mira before leaving, which was to continue following Mine Fujiko.

Someone in the palace wants to kill the princess. Once the police are called, it will be dangerous if someone else gets the news first.

Although Fujiko Mine is a bad woman, at least she does things for money, so it would be safer to stay with her.

At the moment, their primary goal is to figure out how to return to their original world, rather than actually becoming the "Big Head Son and Small Head Dad Detective Team" of this world.

"Alright, let's retreat quickly..."

……

On the plane, Princess Mira looked at the unconscious Fujiko Mine and didn't know what to do next.

If I called the police, I would undoubtedly be taken back to the palace, the place I least wanted to return to.

And that man asked her to follow her...

Just when Mira was confused about what to do next, a figure quietly boarded the plane from the cabin door, making a noisy sound like a monkey.

"Yoho~Fujiko~"

"I'm here!"

A thin, monkey-faced man rushed into the cabin, scaring Mira so much that she took a step back.

"Who are you?"

Mira's voice trembled a little. The sudden intrusion of this unreliable man reminded her of the experience of being chased by the killer last night.

"Hmm?" The man looked directly into Mira's eyes, and after a slight distinction, he said, "You are the princess of this country, right?"

Mira was shocked, "Do you know me?"

"Well, you and your mother have similar eyes..."

The man walked past Mira and went straight to Mine Fujiko, checking her breathing and pulse one by one.

"Do you know the Queen Mother?" Mira turned around and asked the man from behind.

"I met her once several decades ago. She's an old acquaintance of the Queen..."

"Decades? Then who are you?" There was a hint of surprise in Mira's eyes. The man didn't look that old.

"Lupin..." After the man finished his check and confirmed that Fujiko Mine was still alive, the heaviness in his eyes relaxed a little and he turned around and smiled.

"Lupin the Third."

"Lupin? III?" Princess Mira frowned. The Vespania royal family should not have any relatives with this surname.

Lupin III didn't care about Mira's doubts and asked as he held the unconscious Princess Fujiko Mine in his arms.

"How did this woman become like this?"

Mira hesitated for a moment and briefly described what happened.

When Lupin III heard that it was a man who took advantage of the situation and knocked Fujiko Mine unconscious, a look of surprise inevitably appeared on his face.

Is there actually a man in this world who can trick Fujiko Mine?

It’s really not easy…

"Did that man leave any identifying information?" Lupin III asked again.

Mira shook her head this time.

Lupin III didn't bother to investigate further and walked out of the cabin holding Fujiko Mine's body.

When I reached the hatch, I saw Mira still standing there in a daze.

"What? You won't leave with me?"

"Me?" Mira was surprised. "Why should I leave with you?"

Lupin III smiled slightly, "Your country is undergoing a transition of power. For your own safety, it's safer to stay with me..."

"Of course, the choice is yours, Princess."

Mira's face remained alert, but she was also thinking in her mind.

The man who just got off the plane told me to follow Mine Fujiko. Now that Mine Fujiko has been taken away by this man called "Lupin the Third", can I trust him?

And it sounds like he's an old friend of the Queen Mother...

"Okay, I'll go with you."

After thinking about it, Mira decided to follow the other party first.

"Hehe~ That's right." Lupin III gave a somewhat nasty smile and kicked the carpet under his feet with his leather shoes.

"Then please help me take the suitcase inside. My hands are not enough to hold this beautiful woman..."

The place that Lupin the Third pointed to was where the parachute was placed, and it was also where Fujiko Mine hid her luggage.

Mira was a little surprised, "How did you know there was something here?"

"Of course~" Luban III showed a very confident expression, "Fujiko and I have been partners for many years!"

In fact, this is Fujiko Mine's usual trick. He puts all the important luggage on his body in a place with a parachute bag, so that it is convenient to escape.

Others may not know about this, but he, Lupin III, has been fooled by Fujiko's trick more than once.

But on second thought, Lupin III realized something was wrong.

"Then how did you know?"

Mira answered as a matter of course, "It was the father and son just now..."

As soon as Mira opened her mouth, she immediately realized that something was wrong. She had revealed the identities of the father and son.

"Father and son?"

Lupin III's eyes rolled, he didn't expect that Fujiko Mine would fall into the hands of a "father and son" this time.

Are there any father and son duos in the world?

Is it Kaito Kidd?

But Kaito Kidri's "father"...

Forget it, let’s retreat first.

Under Lupin III's command, Mira reluctantly took on the duties of a porter and took Fujiko Mine's suitcase with her.

The three of them boarded a luggage tractor and left the airport.

……

Qin Zhibo and Conan climbed over the airport wall, came to the main road, took a taxi and headed straight to the city center.

US dollars are also accepted here. With the two stacks of bills I got from Fujiko Mine, I don’t have to worry about money in the short term.

When he arrived at the city center, Qin Zhibo was already feeling very tired, so he booked a hotel with Conan first.

After the room was booked, the starving duo went out to the street to find food and get familiar with the overall environment of the country.

Walking on the street, Qin Zhibo found that the overall architectural style here tends to be similar to that of some countries in the Eurasian region.

Although Vesbania is a small country, its capital is quite well-built. It does not have the skyscrapers and steel jungles of developed cities, but has many more exotic styles.

Vine-patterned wallpaper, Byzantine-style architecture, European-style carved furniture...

However, this does not mean backwardness. On the contrary, people here live a rich life, and even street vendors often have smiles on their faces.

But the strangest thing is that... all the citizens of this country speak Japanese.

It is inevitable that people feel awkward that everyone in an Eurasian country speaks Japanese.

Qin Zhibo and Conan found a restaurant on the street that only served Western food, but fortunately the portion of food was not as large as that in some traditional high-end Western restaurants.

Since there were no outsiders here, Conan was able to take off the brown paper bag and skillfully use the knife and fork to enjoy the meal.

After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Qin Zhibo called the waiter to settle the bill.

"Your bill is 6700 Queen's dollars."

“Dollar, okay?”

"Of course, if converted to US dollars... it's $47."

Qin Zhibo took out a $100 U.S. dollar bill and handed it to the waiter.

"Wait a moment, I'll go get you some change."

While waiting for the waiter to go to the front desk to get the change, Qin Zhibo turned to look at Conan again.

"Are you full, son?"

Conan was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "Hmm..."

"But let's discuss this. Can you please stop calling me son?"

"What's wrong? Don't I look like your father to outsiders?" Qin Zhibo asked as a matter of course.

Conan: "..."

"It's not a matter of like or unlike, it's..."

Conan thought about it and realized that the fact that he was a "son" had already been made known on the plane, so there was no point in changing his words now.

"Never mind, you can say whatever you want."

Anyway, I will be leaving this world soon, so I don’t care about the name of this time.

"Hey, good son~"

Qin Zhibo reached out his hand to Conan's head opposite him and rubbed it affectionately, and Conan couldn't refute it yet.

Just then, the waiter returned with the change and the printed bill.

"Here is your bill and change, please keep it."

Just as the waiter was about to turn around and leave, Qin Zhibo stopped him.

"Wait a moment……"
