So that’s how it is, I understand again!

The next step is to find an opportunity to gather everyone together and expose this conspiracy!

……

In the reception room of the palace, Fujiko Mine finally waited for Chis.

"Sorry to keep you waiting……"

"No, waiting is also a key part of serving customers~" Fujiko Mine, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, smiled.

"Thank you very much. Here is your reward."

Keith placed a suitcase of cash on the coffee table.

Fujiko Mine opened the box, which was filled with Queen Vesbania coins.

"Is cash okay? I'm open to checks or bank transfers," Chis asked.

Mine Fujiko shook her head. "No, I only believe in cash."

In fact, the reason why Fujiko Mine chose the Queen's Dollar was that she judged that special minerals had been discovered in Vesbania, and the exchange rate of the Queen's Dollar would definitely rise sharply, so she could make a fortune.

But as we all know, Fujiko Mine's investments often fail.

However, in addition to the mission reward, there was another important reason why Fujiko Mine chose to accept the commission.

After talking with Qis for a few words, Mine Fujiko stood up and said goodbye.

"Do you want me to give you a ride?" Chis asked.

Mine Fujiko smiled and shook her head. "That's not necessary. The princess doesn't have many reliable people around her. You'd better go back quickly."

Qisi did not refuse, "Goodbye then, Fujimineko."

Mine Fujiko walked straight towards the palace gate, but at the corner out of Qis's sight, she suddenly turned towards another corridor.

Chapter 1078 Emergency Alarm

In the Vesbania Palace, Fujiko Mine easily wandered around in the maze corridors based on the palace building blueprints she had obtained in advance.

Sometimes when she encounters patrolling guards, she can easily avoid them with her mastery of the terrain and her agile figure.

Soon, Fujiko Mine arrived at the entrance to the basement of the royal palace, which was also where various important assets of the Kingdom of Vesbania were stored.

The entire gold reserves of the Kingdom of Vesbania are stored in this underground treasury.

However, Fujiko Mine's purpose this time was not the gold reserves. After all, gold was extremely heavy and it was not something a female thief like her, who only did tricks, could handle.

She had her eyes on the crown of the Kingdom of Vesbania, which was inlaid with precious jewels. It was a unique treasure in the world, both in terms of its own value and its historical and cultural value.

This crown only appears when a new king is crowned, and is otherwise kept strictly protected in the basement of the palace.

Fujiko Mine hid behind the wall and was about to take action against the guards at the door when a group of people suddenly walked out of the basement entrance.

"It seems that your protection is very strict..."

Inspector Zenigata, wearing a khaki windbreaker, walked up from the bottom of the stairs, accompanied by a member of the guard.

"But based on my many years of experience fighting Lupin, this guy is omnipresent. We must not let our guard down..."

"Yes."

The guards beside him nodded, and Inspector Zenigata continued, "Then let's go look somewhere else."

Led by the guards, Inspector Zenigata left the basement and walked towards another corridor.

Fujiko Mine hid behind the wall on this side and watched Inspector Zenigata leave with a slight smile on her lips.

I didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance again...

But this time, it's not just Lupin who's going to be targeted~

After Inspector Zenigata walked away, Mine Fujiko came out from behind the wall with a shy expression on her face and walked towards the two guards with her legs crossed.

"Um... Sorry, I'm lost. Where is the restroom?"

Suddenly a beautiful woman appeared, acting shyly, which made the two guards who were standing guard blush slightly. They even forgot to confirm each other's identity first.

"The toilet is in that corridor over there. Go straight ahead and turn right, and you'll see it..."

"Do you want me to lead the way for you?"

The two guards were lost in thought, and Mine Fujiko took the opportunity to walk over to them.

"No need, I can go by myself..."

"By the way, could you help me carry this box?"

Just as one of the guards happily took the box handed to him, Mine Fujiko suddenly raised the lady's handbag and hit the guard next to him on the temple.

The guard immediately fainted on the ground, and the guard holding the box was hit in the face by Mine Fujiko before he could react and was knocked unconscious.

After taking care of the two guards effortlessly, Fujiko Mine pulled them into the next room in order to prevent the patrolling guards from noticing anything unusual too early.

Then, Fujiko Mine came to the basement unhindered.

Compared with the palace above ground, the architectural style of the basement is very simple and technological, mainly in silver metallic style.

Passing through a long corridor, there is a central console behind a round door, with three guards sitting in the middle to monitor it 24 hours a day.

Fujiko Mine took out a smoke bomb from her lady's bag, put on a gas mask, and threw the smoke bomb from the ground to near the center console.

Light white smoke slowly poured out, and by the time the three guards noticed the smoke, the hypnotic gas had already caused them to lose 80% of their physical abilities.

A guard was still struggling to get up and was about to press the alarm on the center console, but Mine Fujiko, wearing a gas mask, had already walked over and knocked the man unconscious with a slap.

"Da-mee-yo~"

After getting rid of all the guards, Fujiko Mine took a gold card from the guard's chest, walked to the center console, put on white gloves, tapped quickly on the keyboard with her ten fingers, and slid the gold card over it again.

Beep, beep, beep...

The millstone-shaped metal door slowly opened, making way for the space behind it.

And the extremely precious crown was displayed on the display stand in the middle.

However, even though the crown was right in front of her, it was still not easy for Fujiko Mine to enter.

The floor of this treasure house is equipped with gravity sensors, temperature sensors, and infrared sensors, and the devices cannot be turned off from the outside.

Once any of these is triggered, the door to the treasure house will close and the alarm will be triggered.

Faced with this situation, Mine Fujiko smiled slightly and took out another thing from her bag.

This is a high-tech sphere, the size of a baseball, but its metal surface is covered with a large number of sophisticated electronic components.

The function of this thing is to send special signals at a fixed frequency, which can block electronic signals within 30 meters within 10 seconds.

The raw material of this sphere is the Vespania ore that Lupin III stole from the mine.

Of course, the sphere itself was also made by Lupin the Third.

While resting one night at Lupin III's base, Fujiko Mine learned that Lupin III planned to use this thing to break through the treasury's defense system.

So, on the way to the palace, Fujiko Mine took Lupin's Pokéball in exchange for a baseball.

Fujiko Mine turned on the switch of the sphere and threw it from outside into the treasure house.

The metal sphere bounced and rolled on the floor a few times, but did not trigger the weight sensor, which meant that the signal of the protection system had been blocked.

Fujiko Mine walked boldly onto the floor as he entered the treasury, opened the glass cover above the crown with both hands, and the treasure was within his reach.

Looking at the dazzling crown right in front of him, Mine Fujiko's eyes were filled with greed.

"I'll take the Queen's crown."

But just as she was staring at the crown and was about to raise her hand to take it away, she was completely unaware that a man dressed as a guard was quietly approaching from behind her.

The "guard" raised his palm and struck Mine Fujiko's neck with great force.

Bang.

Mine Fujiko, whose attention was attracted by the treasure, was knocked unconscious to the ground, and the crown in her hand fell to the ground.

However, the "guard" paid no attention to the dusty Vesbania national treasure before him, but turned and walked towards the inconspicuous high-tech sphere on the floor next to him.

He clasped the sphere with a few fingers and twisted it hard, tearing the welded metal shell apart, revealing the Vesbania ore inside.

The "guard" took the ore out and put it in his pocket. The whole process was as simple as peeling melon seeds.

After doing this, the "guard" pressed the headset on his ear with an expressionless face.

"Ore recovery completed..."

"..."

Someone in the headset said something, and the "guard" ended the call and turned to walk to Fujiko Mine who was standing beside him.

Fujiko Mine's body was grabbed by the waist by a hand and carried on the shoulders of the "guard".

The "guard" walked out of the treasury with steady steps, never once glancing at the dazzling crown that had fallen to the ground.

……

At the Vespania Palace, Lupin III and Daisuke Jigen finished their meal provided by the palace and planned to start their separate actions.

The two's goal this time is to steal the treasure of the Kingdom of Vesbania - the Queen's Crown.

Lupin had the opportunity to take this crown more than 20 years ago, including the queen's own girlish heart.

But at the critical moment when he could choose to leave, Lupin was moved by compassion and took the initiative to give up the crown and rejected the queen's confession.

Now that the old friend is gone, there is no need for Lupin to keep his promise made many years ago and prepare to take away the treasure that he "lost" that year.

As usual, Lupin III was responsible for going deep into the tiger's den, while Daisuke Jigen was on the periphery ready to provide support at any time.

Lupin also got the map of the palace thanks to Daisuke Jigen's advance reconnaissance, and now he came to the entrance of the palace basement with ease.

But as soon as he reached the entrance, Lupin realized that there was not even a guard outside.

"Yo?"

Lupin carefully observed it and made sure that it was not a trap before going into the basement.

Passing through the long silver corridor, Lupin also came to the door of the control room and took out his special sprayer from his arms.

"The door seems to be open~"

"The thief is coming in~"

Lupin's stealing process is the same as Kaito Kid's. It is not as serious as imagined, and has a sense of self-entertainment.

"Sleep spray!"

Lupin jumped out from behind the wall and was about to attack the guard behind him, but he was shocked by what he saw.

Two guards were lying on the ground, twisted and distorted, and the door of the treasury was wide open, as if it had just been captured by outsiders.

"Ah—huh?"

Lupin was also confused by the situation, but he soon found the answer.

He felt for the signal-blocking sphere on his body, but when he took it out it turned into a baseball, and the answer was obvious.

The only person who had the opportunity to approach him today, and had the reason to do so, was Fujiko Mine.

"Hahahaha... I was completely fooled..."

Lupin laughed at himself helplessly and was about to turn around and retreat, but he saw the treasure house inside and saw something that looked like a shiny hat lying on the ground next to the display cabinet.

He quickly stepped forward and took a look, and found that it was actually a crown!

"Um--?"

Lupin dragged out an extremely long tail note, feeling even more confused.

That woman Fujiko didn't take the crown away?

Lupin didn't rush in, but glanced at the ground and found that in addition to the crown, there was also a hemisphere torn in half.

Looking closely, isn't that the signal jammer he made?

Now Lupin was even more confused. He remembered that the sphere he made was welded out of metal. How could it be destroyed like this?
