Conan Rick's Investigator

Answer: Money that men use for lust, money that women use for beauty, money that poor people use to get rich quickly, money that rich people use to be afraid of death, money that children use for education, money that the elderly use for health, money that women use for vanity, and money that lazy people use to save trouble.

I believe this secret can be exchanged for a lot of money from rich people~

And you can also use this secret if you want to stay beautiful forever.

This can be considered as a great compensation for the loss of two stacks of US dollars.

"Put the guy in the trunk!"

Lupin III obeyed his orders and forced the person in the sack into the narrow trunk of the Beetle, then carefully locked it.

"Hey! Don't suffocate me to death!" Mine Fujiko scolded.

Lupin III sat in the front seat and waved his hand nonchalantly, "I've already calculated the oxygen level in the trunk. It's enough to get us to our next destination."

Mine Fujiko: "That's more like it... Then let's drive."

"okay!"

Lupin III responded by stepping on the accelerator.

Mira looked at the two of them and the more she looked, the more they looked like the monster couple who captured Tang Monk in the famous Chinese novel "Journey to the West".

Moreover, Mira didn't have a bad impression of the father and son on the plane yesterday. They didn't do anything too excessive, so she didn't want them to be caught or even tortured.

"Um...can you let him go?" Mira pleaded with Mine Fujiko.

Feng Fujiko was stunned for a moment, then smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, we won't do anything to him~"

"I'll let him go once I get you back to the palace. How about that?"

When Mira heard that she was quite proud, she immediately smiled and nodded.

"Ok!"

Only Lupin III, who had "worked" with Fujiko Mine for many years, glanced back through the rearview mirror and understood the hypocritical look in Fujiko Mine's eyes.

This woman is lying again...

……

The white beetle slowly drove to the next location, which was also the last stop before sending Mira back to the palace.

On the raised hill, a sturdy cherry tree stands as tall as ever, with pink petals falling in the wind.

Mira looked at the cherry tree, her eyes blank.

This is the place where Queen Vesbania and the prince were both killed. For Mira, it is a place full of painful memories.

Because of this, Mira didn't dare to come and see since the incident.

"here……"

"Go, this is your last stop."

Under the gentle persuasion of Fujiko Mine, Mira slowly and firmly fixed her eyes, opened the car door, and walked step by step in that direction.

Lupin the Third and Mine Fujiko stood by the car, with no intention of following.

"The place I must go to before returning home is where my loved ones died..."

"If we were here, she wouldn't cry out loud, would she?"

“They really look alike…”

Lupin III was lamenting the fate of his deceased friend when Fujiko Mine arrived in front of the trunk.

"Lupin, come and open it!"

"Oh~"

Lupin came over and opened the trunk with the car key. Inside, the sack was curled up in the shape of a human.

He gave the person inside a tentative push, but the sack didn't budge.

“Could it be…?”

Lupin III suspected that he had miscalculated the oxygen content and was already choking, so he quickly reached out to untie the sack.

Fujiko Mine, who was standing behind, pulled out a baseball bat from behind her butt, clenched it with both hands, and aimed it at the back of Lupin the Third's head.

Yes, Fujiko Mine intends to keep the secret of "rejuvenation" to herself.

First knock Lupin III unconscious, then take the great writer out of the bag, hide him nearby, and put Lupin into the sack.

When he brought Mira back to the palace, he handed the person in the sack to Mira as agreed.

In this way, he not only kept his promise with Mira, but also reaped the fruits of victory alone.

Of course, the "reward" agreed upon between him and Lupin also went down the drain.

What a great plan that kills three birds with one stone!

Sorry, Lupin.

Fujiko Mine, with a wicked grin on her face, raised her baseball bat and aimed it at Lupin III's head; Lupin III put his head into the trunk and untied the sack.

This scene can be called a world-famous painting.

But just as Lupin III untied the sack, the person in the sack suddenly jumped out and knocked Lupin III to the ground.

call out--

Fujiko Mine's baseball bat also missed.

A dark blue figure and Lupin in a red suit were wrestling on the grass, making it difficult for Fujiko Mine to find the right target.

"You bastard! How dare you sneak attack me!"

"Take my iron fist!"

The two men grabbed each other's collars and raised their fists to hit each other in the face.

It was at this moment that the two of them saw each other's faces clearly.

"Lupin?"

"Dimension?"

"Why is it you!" ×2

Chapter 1076 Corpse

Lupin the Third and Jigen Daisuke sat on the grass, grabbing each other's collars, their raised fists hanging in the air.

"Why is it you?"×2

Both of them were extremely shocked by each other's identities, their eyes widened in disbelief.

Daisuke Jigen never thought that the person who attacked him while he was drunk was Lupin the Third.

Lupin III could never have imagined that the "father" the little kid was talking about was Daisuke Jigen.

"What the hell is going on? Explain it to me!"

Jigen Daisuke roared towards the sky.

……

With Lupin III's apologetic smile on his face, the matter was finally made clear.

"So, you tracked down the little ghost around that mysterious man and found me in the bar?"

Lupin the Third rubbed his hands together, smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Yes, yes..."

Jigen Daisuke endured the pain from being hit on the head by Lupin the Third and asked in confusion, "But I brought that brat out of the palace. He's been staying in the palace since yesterday..."

"You said that the little ghost was with a mysterious man. Could it be that the little ghost can also clone himself?"

There was a hint of surprise in Lupin III's eyes, and he immediately put the blame on Fujiko Mine next to him.

"This information was told to me by Fujiko..."

When Jigen Daisuke saw Mine Fujiko, his face was filled with helplessness. He grumbled in a low voice, "I knew that meeting this woman would be bad luck..."

As an intelligence provider, Fujiko Mine caused a lot of trouble for Lupin's team.

Both Jigen Daisuke and Goemon were quite troubled by this woman, and even hated her, but Lupin III inexplicably "got along" with this woman, leaving the two of them helpless.

Mine Fujiko also had an innocent look on her face, spreading her hands. "I don't know either. The man on the plane should have been carrying that kid..."

"That's even more wrong. That brat came here with the Vesbania delegation on a royal plane. How could he be on a plane you tricked out of nowhere?"

Jigen Daisuke's expression suddenly dawned on him, and he pointed at Mine Fujiko's nose and said, "This must be your way of dividing us!"

"Just now I thought I saw you holding a baseball bat! Are you planning to kill me and Lupin?"

After this reminder, Lupin the Third also remembered that Mine Fujiko was very dishonest just now and seemed to be trying to attack him from behind.

Lupin III's face darkened as he approached the woman, "Fujiko, is this true?"

"Um--?"

The two men suddenly turned their attention to Mine Fujiko, forcing her to force a smile and explain, "Hey, hey, why are you blaming a weak woman like me for all the internal strife?"

"Don't bring this~"

"Yami--!"

While the three were entangled, Mira came back from the path leading to the hill and looked at them with a puzzled expression.

"What are you doing?"

The three of them turned their heads at the same time and found that it was Mira who came back.

There were traces of tears on the pretty girl's face and a blush around her eyelids. It seemed that she had just cried bitterly.

Fujiko Mine seemed to have seen a savior. She escaped from the double attack of Lupin the Third and Daisuke Jigen and hid behind Mira.

"Those two bad guys are trying to bully me, the long-legged sister~"

Upon hearing this, Mira pinched her waist angrily, "Really? In the name of Princess Vesbania, I order you to stop your rude behavior immediately!"

This made Lupin the Third and Daisuke Jigen feel helpless, and Fujiko Mine was the first to complain.

But the two of them have gotten used to it.

However, when Jigen Daisuke saw Mira, he knew that this must be the real princess, and there was a look of surprise on his face.

"Lupin, why is the princess here with you?"

Before Lupin could give an answer, Daisuke Jigen remembered that Chis said he had hired a professional to protect the princess.

The day before yesterday, when the princess was in Japan, she and Lupin were still stealing ore in the mine, so it was impossible for Chis to hire Lupin.

So that means...the professional hired by Chis is actually Fujiko Mine.

"Eh……"

After thinking through the logic here, Daisuke Jigen slapped his forehead helplessly and sighed sincerely.

What a sin...

……

The three of them discussed it and decided to follow the agreement and send Mira back to the palace safely first.

In the car, in order to prove that she was not lying, Fujiko Mine gave the true identity of "Conan" that she had found to Lupin the Third and Daisuke Jigen for them to circulate.

The two were also very surprised when they saw the news reports and simple biographies on the web page.

"No wonder that kid is so smart..."

Lupin III recalled his first encounter with the brat, and that was clearly not the judgment an elementary school student could possess.

“But it’s still a little worse than me~”

Lupin III boasted again that he was the one who tricked Conan with just a video recorder.

Daisuke Jigen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also realized that the kid didn't seem to be an ordinary person, but he never expected that he was actually a smaller version of a famous Japanese high school detective.

Jigen Daisuke returned the laptop to Mine Fujiko in the back seat. "But even if that's the case, it doesn't explain why there were two little ghosts at the same time."

Mine Fujiko was also puzzled by this.
