Conan Rick's Investigator

"Goemon, what do you think?"

Goemon, his eyes still closed, replied in a hoarse voice, "A tingling sensation spreads throughout my body... My muscles are cramping, and I can't even hold my Zantetsu sword."

This is exactly the reaction to electric shock.

Jigen Daisuke's face was shocked, he knew that Goemon could not lie.

But he had never heard of a stun gun.

Lu Ban III stood up with a smile and patted the dust off his clothes. "It seems that this country really cannot be underestimated~"

"But fortunately, when I was lying down to rest just now, I had already thought of a way to escape..."

"Huh?" Jigen Daisuke hurried over, "How did we escape?"

Lupin III showed a confident smile on his face. He walked to the iron fence and tapped the iron railing lightly with his fingernails, making two not-so-crisp metal collision sounds.

"This place was built at least 100 years ago. Both the style and materials are of the standard of an old prison."

"In other words, the iron fence here is flexible but not rigid enough, so it bends easily..."

"Have you seen those old prison break movies? We just wet our clothes with water, then use the wet clothes to tie two adjacent iron bars together. With a short stick, we can easily bend the bars and get out!"

Lupin the Third spoke with great emotion, but Daisuke Jigen spotted the problem at a glance.

"Two questions. First, where are the short sticks?"

"Secondly, where is the water?"

Lupine the Third: "..."

This cell is in the style of an old-fashioned prison. Naturally, there is no toilet, sink, or anything like that. The only bench is a whole piece of wood fixed to the wall.

At this time, Goemon, who was meditating nearby, murmured, "If I had a Zantetsu sword, I could cut through this kind of railing with just one stroke..."

Jigen Daisuke covered his forehead helplessly, too lazy to complain, "But it's because we have no weapons that we are trapped here..."

Lupin III grinned, "Then we're done for. We can only wait for someone to save us~"

Jigen Daisuke turned his head and said, "Who are you counting on to save us? Isn't it that woman?"

"Hmph..." Lupin III snorted softly, and a figure appeared in his mind.

"Who knows?"

……

Vespaña Palace, back garden.

A large blue-black "ground rat" slipped quietly through the bushes.

Relying on his short stature, Conan avoided the patrolling guards and arrived near the palace in less than 10 minutes.

At the back door of the Byzantine palace, two guards were standing guard in front of the octagonal column of the porch. Under the light, the two men were loyal to their duties and looked very conscientious.

The palace is now under martial law, and the guards are stricter than usual.

Conan wanted to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, but he was worried that he could not completely divert the guards and might even trigger more guards to come and check.

We must infiltrate in absolute secrecy...

Conan took a look at the situation above the palace and suddenly came up with an idea.

He removed the stretch strap from his bib shorts and threw them upwards, letting the front end catch on the raised relief above the archway.

Then he used the counter to adjust the length of the straps, and when the straps were quickly shortened, he easily reached the platform on the second floor with the help of the pulling force.

The arched windows on the second floor were not locked. Conan randomly found a window to open and successfully sneaked into the palace.

Theoretically, it is also possible to jump over the wall near the palace using a retractable harness.

But there was no protrusion on the top of the wall, and there was not even a big tree around the wall, so it was already conceivable that a thief might use a rope to enter the palace.

However, once they actually entered the palace, the security on all sides became much laxer.

After all, this is where the royal family lives, and no one would want their home to be decorated like an iron barrel formation.

But there are so many rooms in the palace, how do I even start looking for Ran Mouri?

Conan guessed that since Ran Mouri had been judged as a "spy", it must be a major misunderstanding and Vespania had no conclusive evidence.

In this case, Vespania still needs to negotiate with Japan, and Ran Mori will not be transferred immediately, but will be placed under house arrest somewhere.

This place must have no windows, so there is no view of the outside world, and the possibility of escape is eliminated.

At the corner of the palace stairs and corridors, Conan found a map of the rooms on each floor of the palace.

The rooms in the palace facing the east, west, south and north courtyards are all designed to have balconies and windows.

Only some of the corner rooms facing the atrium cannot be designed with windows due to symmetrical design issues, and can only be used as internal suites for other rooms.

Conan guessed that Ran Mouri was imprisoned in these rooms.

After establishing the search area, Conan quickly ran towards the third floor which was accessible through the atrium.

But just as he was about to go upstairs, he heard several footsteps on the stairs.

Conan quickly crouched down and hid on the side of the stairs, waiting patiently for the other party to pass.

Above the stairs, several pairs of feet stepped down one by one.

Only after the other party walked down the stairs and into the corridor on the other side did Conan cautiously stick his head out.

It didn't matter that Conan saw someone familiar.

Xiaolan!

Under the protection of five guards, Xiaolan was trapped in the middle and was heading to a corridor with an unknown fate.

Although Xiaolan's hands and feet were not shackled, the fact that the two guards were holding her arms tightly showed that she was being treated as a prisoner.

It's Xiaolan!

It looks like he still has to be taken for interrogation!

Conan knows some cruel interrogation methods. Although those methods have been abandoned by the civilization of modern society, it is not surprising that any backward things happen in this country where the feudal system remains.

Conan clenched his teeth.

No matter which world, he can't let Xiaolan get hurt!

……

On this side, Mao Lilan was escorted by the guards and didn't know where she was going.

She kept encouraging herself in her heart, thinking that although she was dressed as a princess, she had not done anything presumptuous, so there was no need to panic, she just needed to explain everything clearly.

But her cold hands revealed the fact that she was feeling uneasy.

In this foreign country, a high school girl is enduring the torment and pain that she shouldn't have to endure.

Shinichi...

Shinichi...

At this moment, Mao Lilan was praying to the person who could give her the most courage.

At this moment, a football suddenly flew from the corridor behind and hit the side of the head of a guard walking behind.

The guard's head collided with the football, changing its trajectory, and the football then collided with the head of the guard next to him.

The two guards fell to the ground, and the football fell limply to the ground and quickly deflated.

"Ok?"

"what happened!"

The captain of the guard in front and the two soldiers escorting Mao Lilan immediately turned around to check, and saw that ten meters away, the feet of a little boy in blue were scattering colorful light.

Seeing the little boy, Mao Lilan screamed, "Conan!"

"It's you!"

"How did you get out here, kid?"

The captain of the guard also recognized the little boy's identity, even the colorful glowing shoes were exactly the same.

Conan didn't think much about it and just turned the switch of the football belt, and the second football was launched.

With a powerful kick of the right foot, the powerful football hit the face of the guard on the right side of Mao Lilan again, and the guard's originally three-dimensional facial features were immediately flattened.

"What's this?!"

Seeing their comrade knocked down by the football, the guards no longer held back. The ordinary guards raised their spears, and the captain of the guards took out his pistol and aimed at Conan.

Seeing the captain of the guards pulling out a gun, Mao Lilan, who was worried that Conan would be injured, no longer held back. With a standard karate knife move, she broke the captain's arm with one palm, and the pistol fell to the ground.

Then, Mao Lilan grabbed the captain of the guard's shoulders with both hands and kneed him in the stomach.

"Ah~!"

The captain of the guards let out a trembling cry in his throat and then fainted from the pain.

The ordinary guard next to him turned around to point his spear at Ran Mouri, but was kicked in the cheek by another football from Conan, and fell into a baby-like sleep.

The five guards were taken out without any effort.

The strange thing is that they thought Mao Li Ran was really a good girl next door with a combat power of 0.

Conan quickly ran to Ran Mouri, grabbed her arm and was about to leave in the direction they came from.

"Sister Xiaolan, come with me! This place is very dangerous!"

But Mao Lilan stood there motionless, and asked, "Conan, why are you here?"

"No time to explain! Let's go!"

Of course Conan didn't have time to explain, and he really couldn't explain it clearly.

But Mao Lilan was still unwilling to leave, "Conan, go back to your room quickly. I will take the blame for knocking these people out!"

Conan: "Huh?"

Mao Lilan: "What? If others find out that you have escaped and attacked the guards, you will definitely be punished!"

Conan: "Huh?"

Mao Lilan: "No~ By the way, where is Dad now? Tell Dad not to act rashly. I can handle this matter myself... It's all my fault for being too willful. That's why you and Dad came to this country, Conan..."

Conan: "..."

It was not until this moment that Conan knew that the "Conan" and "Mouri Kogoro" of this world had also come to this country.

Chapter 1084: Collapse! Sell! Retreat! Escape!

Unlike Ran Mouri who was anxious, Conan was a little confused.

He only guessed from outside news that Ran Mouri was imprisoned in the palace, but he didn't know that "Conan" and "Kogoro Mouri" from this world had also come.

But this is normal. "Conan" came to this country on a royal plane, and "Mouri Kogoro" came as Inspector Zenigata's assistant. Of course, such trivial matters will not be disclosed in the news.

But even though he knew this now, Conan still wanted to rescue Ran Mouri first.

"Sister Xiaolan, Vesbania has publicly identified you as a spy!"

"If you don't leave, it will be very dangerous!"

When Conan said this, Ran Mouri widened her eyes in shock.

She thought that the house arrest of herself and her family was just due to some misunderstanding, and she just needed to explain everything that had happened in the past two days to the Queen.

She hadn't thought the problem would be so serious.

"But I have never..." Mao Lilan wanted to explain.

Conan quickly struck while the iron was hot, "Uncle has already escaped, as long as we escape we will all be safe!"

This is a lie.

Of course Conan knew that the "Conan" and "Mouri Kogoro" in this world were not out of danger, but based on his understanding of Mouri Ran, if he didn't tell this lie, Mouri Ran would definitely not follow him away.

When Ran Mouri heard that her father had left, she hesitated for two seconds and decided to follow Conan to escape from the palace.

In order to delay being discovered by the guards, the two first moved the unconscious guard to an empty room.
