Conan Rick's Investigator

"What about you, kid?"

Conan looked at Ran Mouri's worried eyes. Although he knew that this matter was somewhat dangerous, he knew that the kind-hearted Ran Mouri would not let it go.

Then Conan will also take care of it to the end!

"Okay!" Conan raised his head with a cute smile on his face, "Dad, where are we going first?"

Jigen Daisuke's face suddenly turned disgusted. This kid got into the role so quickly...

……

9:00 am, a hotel in the capital of Vesbania.

Conan got up from the bed sleepily and stretched.

Although his mind was not fully awake yet, he habitually put on the glasses on the bedside table to avoid being seen by the Maori family and exposing his identity.

He sat on the bed for a while, waiting for his dizzy head to clear up completely, and then he found that the other person lying on the bed was gone.

Conan quickly got down and came to the desk in the standard room, where there was a breakfast and a note.

There is a passage written on it:

"I'm going to the ore mine to check out the situation. Stay home! Don't go out alone!"

This is a message from Qin Zhibo.

But when Conan saw it, his face immediately turned extremely anxious.

This guy didn't let himself act alone, but he ended up acting alone!

Conan slapped his forehead, he should have thought that Qin Zhibo would go to check the situation at the mine today, but he ended up sleeping so soundly.

hateful!

In fact, this matter is not entirely blamed on sleeping too deeply. On the one hand, I have experienced a lot of things recently, which has made me physically and mentally exhausted.

On the other hand, I had a dream last night, a very vivid dream.

Conan dreamed that he was walking on a dark staircase that went straight down. He had no idea where the stairs would lead to, but he was just moving in the only direction driven by instinct.

After walking up countless steps, he came across a door. Two gatekeepers who looked like holy missionaries opened the door for him.

Behind the door was a cave filled with flames. Conan safely passed through the cave with his skill and continued to move down the stairs.

Until an ultimate door stood in front of him...Conan woke up.

The dream was so confusing that Conan still can't help but recall some of the details.

Back to the present, Conan reached out and touched the "pancake-like thing" in the breakfast bag. It was completely cold, which meant that Qin Zhibo had been away for a long time.

If I want to catch up now, my speed is definitely not enough.

And if it's just to find out the situation, it shouldn't be that dangerous, right?

Conan thought about it and decided to temporarily follow Qin Zhibo's arrangements and stay in the hotel.

Wait until Qin Zhibo comes back and then talk to him properly.

Although I am still immature as a detective, don't treat bean buns as solid food!

Conan complained in his heart, took his breakfast to bed, turned on the TV, and spent his time there out of boredom.

……

On the other side, Qin Zhibo rode a mountain bike and started in the morning. He finally arrived at the outskirts of the nature reserve northeast of the capital of Vesbania.

There was a warning sign standing in the middle of the road, and Qin Zhibo had to brake to check.

It was written in Japanese and English: "The road ahead has collapsed and is impassable."

Apparently, in order to protect the secrets of the mineral, the entire nature reserve has been blocked by the military and no one is allowed to enter.

No wonder even civilians know the approximate location of the ore. This target is too obvious...

Qin Zhibo guessed that if he ignored the sign and continued riding forward, he would definitely encounter a military roadblock.

So Qin Zhibo put the mountain bike back into the prop bar and sneaked into the forest beside the road.

Since this is a nature reserve, the forest grows quite densely, and bushes that are almost as tall as the trees are visible everywhere.

Because of this, Qin Zhibo did not bring Conan out.

In this jungle environment, no matter how agile Conan is, it will be useless.

Besides, one more person means a greater chance of being discovered by soldiers lying in ambush in the forest.

Once discovered, the other party will definitely treat the invader as a foreign spy without any explanation, and then it will really be like "going through life and death with your son".

The reason why Qin Zhibo chose to sneak in during the day was that he exploited a loophole in his thinking.

The mine had just been invaded by outsiders at night. Most people would focus their main defense efforts at night and ignore daytime precautions.

In fact, during the day, there is ample visibility, making it easy to spot intruders and not requiring much defense.

But Qin Zhibo has the [Magic Ring], and with the help of the invisibility function provided by the Magic Ring, it is just right for sneaking in during the day.

But if Conan is brought along, this will become very troublesome.

Qin Zhibo planned in his mind that he would at least find the specific location of the ore cave today. If there was a chance, he could also steal the ore directly.

The amount of ore required is not much. When Mi-Go brought Conan and I here, he only used a fist-sized amount of ore.

But how to travel through time and space is also a troublesome matter...

Forget it, let’s get it first and study it later.

Qin Zhibo, dressed in camouflage uniform, raised his sword and chopped through the vines and bushes around him, heading towards the depths of the protected area.

……

The capital of Vespa-Nia, the central Queen Street.

A white Beetle was moving at a snail's pace on the road, while other vehicles hurried past.

The moment the two cars passed each other, the owners inside couldn't help but cast a contemptuous look at the Beetle.

"By the way, can't this car go any faster?"

Sitting in the back seat, Fujiko Mine was dressed like a professional woman and complained with a helpless look in her eyes.

Lupin III huddled in the small front seat, feeling very aggrieved.

"This is full speed..."

Fujiko Mine: "Where's your usual car?"

Lupin the Third: "Total destruction... Both cars have been gloriously sacrificed..."

In fact, the unknown people who invaded the mine the night before were Lupin the Third and his partner, Daisuke Jigen.

Lupin III wants to steal Vespania Ore and use its signal-blocking ability to defeat the defense system of the "Queen's Crown", the national treasure of the Kingdom of Vespania.

Although the ore was successfully stolen, some accidents occurred during the retreat.

Heavy troops had been deployed around the mine in advance, and under the careful guidance of Daisuke Jigen, the vehicles and helicopters that the two were preparing to escape were blown away.

This is really a case of teaching the apprentice and beating the master to death, it can be called another version of "Kung Fu Panda 1"...

Fortunately, the two of them managed to dodge countless bullets and missiles with their agile movements and escaped.

Now when Lupin III talked about that unfortunate experience again, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. His Mercedes-Benz SSK, which was limited to 35 units worldwide, was also destroyed in the ruthless artillery fire.

But as soon as he complained, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The two cars died gloriously, which corresponds to the "two people died gloriously", implying that both the queen and the prince died.

Fujiko Mine immediately made a "hush" sound to remind him, but Mira, who was also sitting in the back seat, had an unhappy look on her face and gave a rude order.

"Hey, I'm thirsty, let me buy a bottle of Coke."

Girls in their sensitive period must not be provoked. Lupin III immediately and meekly agreed, "Yes~"

Fujiko Mine also took the opportunity to make a request, "I want iced coffee."

Lupin the Third: "Yes~Yes~"

"Just answer once~"

I knew Lupin III felt a little wronged...

Lupin parked the car on the side of the road and walked to the vending machine on the side of the road, mumbling, "They are obviously two princesses, how difficult to please..."

At this time, Conan and Daisuke Jigen, who were patrolling nearby, also separated.

Jigen Daisuke used the excuse that "it's not my fault, it's the bar that's open during the day" and wanted to go have a drink to moisten his dry throat.

In order to get rid of Conan, Jigen Daisuke also threw a coin to Conan and asked him to buy something to drink nearby.

So Conan also came to the vending machine and happened to meet Lupin the Third who was buying coffee and Coke.

However, Lupin III seemed to have bad luck. When he threw the coin in, nothing fell out.

"Hey! Where's Coke?"

"Come out! I've already paid, what does this mean?"

I pressed the button several times in a row, but the Coke didn't fall out.

This made Lupin III very unhappy.

I paid a lot of money with great difficulty, but you let me lose it all?

Okay, okay, let's play like this...

Lupin III had a wicked smile on his face and threw an elbow, hitting the panel of the vending machine.

The vending machine that was just a "Pixiu" immediately spit out more than a dozen bottles of various drinks, accompanied by a large number of coins bouncing out.

"Haha~ You're so polite! You don't have to give me a tip too~"

Lupin III squatted on the ground, happily picking up various drinks and coins into his arms.

This scene made Conan, who was full of justice, unable to bear it.

"Uncle, you can't steal..."

Lupin III was shocked. As a great thief, he didn't even notice that someone was watching him from behind.

He turned around with some displeasure, only to find a kid as tall as his knees with his hands in his pockets.

"Don't say such harsh words, kid, I paid the money honestly."

Conan rolled his eyes helplessly, "You only paid for one bottle, but you want to take all the drinks."

Lupin III remained unmoved and continued to display his shameless spirit, "What's the problem? This guy gave it to me on his own initiative~"

"Uncle, are you a bad guy?" Conan wanted to make the other person feel guilty, "But I don't think you are a bad guy..."

But Lupin III didn't care about that and put on a villain look, "Then you better be careful, I'm a bad thief!"

Seeing that the other party was still not getting the point, Conan put on a childish smile and said, "Is that so, uncle put a pistol in front of his chest~"

"Hmm?" Lupin III immediately put away his joking expression and stared at the kid in front of him seriously.

And Conan continued to reason, "Your left shoulder is a little low, so I was wondering if that's the case?"

After listening to these inferences, Lupin III was sure that this kid was unusual.

There was indeed a gun in his arms, but this was not something an ordinary person could tell just by looking at him.

Could this little devil be...

Lupin III suddenly had an idea and remembered that the man whom Fujiko Mine challenged him to revenge yesterday had a very powerful child with him!

hey-hey……
