Conan Rick's Investigator

"I have a strange case to deal with..."

"You want to come to Vespaña? That's perfect! I'm in Vespaña now!"

"Very good, then we'll meet in the capital of Vesbania!"

Inspector Zenigata greeted the person on the other end of the phone in a light-hearted tone, quickly concluded the matter, and hung up.

Conan, who was standing next to him, was about to lose his outlook on life when he saw this scene.

Why does this person know my dad?

Who on earth is this uncle?

Conan looked at the unprepossessing Inspector Zenigata, and his eyes became increasingly complicated.

He suddenly remembered that when his father, Kudo Yusaku, came back to Japan to see him for the first time, he said that he had reported the organization's affairs to a friend who worked in ICPO.

Could that person be him?

Conan looked at the man in front of him, with some guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to test it easily.

Otherwise, if this person is not the one his father found, his identity will be exposed.

But the only good news that is certain is that his father is coming.

With the help of my biological father and top foreign aid, my sense of security will be greatly improved.

Xiaolan and the uncle are saved...

Conan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Inspector Zenigata.

"Uncle Zenigata, who exactly is this Lupin III you keep saying you want to catch?"

Although Conan had heard of this person before, it was only in comics.

In comparison, Kaito Kidd is the real-world thief.

Zenigata sat cross-legged in front of the campfire and handed Conan a grilled fish that was stuck in front of the campfire.

"This man is the most powerful thief in the world, but he's also a mysterious thief who appears and disappears everywhere. He's my lifelong enemy..."

Conan: "..." Who is this Inspector Nakamori?

Conan said no more and concentrated on eating the delicious grilled fish in front of him.

Although there is no seasoning sprinkled on it, it is not a problem as long as you are hungry.

Zenigata was holding his grilled fish, recalling the scene of seeing Lupin the Third being captured.

Although the two are competitors, they are also "friends" and "soul mates" who appreciate each other on another level.

Because of this, he is struggling now.

Lupin III being captured is definitely a good thing for him, as his long-cherished wish has come true.

But Lupin III's capture also means that there is no longer a goal for him to pursue in the world, and no longer an interesting soul who can occasionally cooperate regardless of his position.

And when Lupin was captured, Zenigata, who had excellent eyesight, saw Lupin looking in his direction.

Yes, I knew that Lupine would release the sleeping spray, so I could take precautions in advance.

But Lupin also knew that he would prepare in advance.

The two have fought countless times and have formed a unique "tacit understanding".

That's why Lupin looked at himself when he was caught.

Lupin...

You're a cunning fellow.

……

On the other side, Qin Zhibo was carrying Conan on his back, and his solar skateboard ran out of power halfway.

There was no choice but to take his skateboard and Conan and walk back to the hotel.

After putting Conan on the bed, Qin Zhibo himself was also exhausted and wanted to order some takeout to replenish his energy first.

But at this moment, Conan woke up.

"orchid!"

Conan suddenly sat up from the bed, looked around, and found that he had "returned to the city".

"Where's Xiaolan? Where's Xiaolan?"

Conan couldn't find Xiaolan and fell into a hysterical state.

Qin Zhibo felt helpless. This love-brained person...

Don't you know that all great detectives have nothing to do with women?

Without women in your heart, you can be a god when you draw your sword!

Chapter 1086 The True Face of Killad

Seeing that Conan was very excited and still couldn't get over the thought of "no woman in his heart", Qin Zhibo quickly told him that "Xiaolan" was fine.

"He was just knocked unconscious by the guards. His life is not in danger..."

Qin Zhibo could still see the [corpse investigation point], but there was indeed no investigation point above Mao Lilan's head at that time.

These words made Conan feel relieved.

But even so, the situation is still very dangerous.

He had already been identified as a spy, and now that he was causing trouble in the palace, it was even more difficult to explain.

And it's impossible to explain clearly...

"Qin! I overheard the Duke named 'Killard' talking!"

"He seemed to be discussing with a woman, saying that he wanted to make Xiaolan into..."

Qin Zhibo: "Done?"

Conan: "Bio-doll..."

Hearing this word, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but frown.

As he had guessed, MI-Go not only occupied the mine, but also infiltrated the royal palace of this country.

In this case, the so-called "resurrected" prince and princess should also be Mi-Go.

Qin Zhibo did not expect that Mi-Go's actions in this world would be so bold that they could even directly control a country from the top level.

However, no matter how well Mi-Go understands the human world, it must still support a real human puppet in the human world.

Obviously, this person is Duke Killard.

Conan didn't notice the strange expression on Qin Zhibo's face and was still recalling the details of the conversation.

"They mentioned ore... and the man who was discussing this with Kirad spoke without emotion..."

"And there's a weird habit... hum?"

Having said that, Conan's expression suddenly flickered.

嗡？

The atmosphere was very tense at the time and he didn't pay attention to it.

But now thinking back, why did that person make the "humming" sound?

And this sound doesn't sound like human speech, but rather like the high-speed vibration of some kind of wings...

Suddenly, Conan's brows became serious and he remembered the description in "The Whisperer in the Night".

—They imitate human voices with a bee-like buzzing sound…

—It sounded like the humming of a giant, disgusting insect, compressed into the language of an alien race...

Although the description in the book cannot be translated into words, the feeling is exactly the same as what the words describe.

Could it be!

Conan's face was filled with horror as he thought of a horrifying possibility.

Could it be that the "person" who was talking to Duke Kirard was actually Mi Go?

Conan sat on the bed, his upper body stiff and his thoughts racing.

Will the alien race described in a book appear in the real world?

What is the probability of this happening?

And why did it happen that his "dad" knew Mi-Go's secret?

The more Conan thought about it, the more he felt that there were too many secrets.

Qin Zhibo, who was standing aside, was thinking in his heart that if Mi-Go wanted to make Mouri Ran into a biochemical doll, it should be because they wanted to take advantage of the 90% similarity between Mouri Ran and Princess Mira in appearance.

As long as he has the biochemical doll of "Mouri Ran", Mi-Go will be able to completely control the royal family of Vespania.

As for why Princess Mira wasn't used directly, I don't know the reason...

……

At the Vesbania Palace, the disturbing alarm was finally lifted.

Princess Mira stood up from her seat, walked to the arched window, and looked out nervously.

The guards, each holding a flashlight, were still wandering around the palace, searching for suspicious individuals.

"..."

Mira frowned and remained silent, then looked back at the empty room.

At this time in the past, the two personal maids were always by my side and could serve me all the time, so it wasn't boring.

But since the East Room incident at dusk, the personal maid, along with Chis and his men, were all captured.

Now, there are no familiar people around Mira, only new faces.

She wanted to go to the Queen to plead for mercy and ask about the whole incident, but the guards refused to meet her on the grounds that "the Queen was busy with official duties."

Mira is very conflicted now. She doesn't believe that her personal maid who has served her for many years, and people like Chis who have served the royal family for generations would betray her.

But she had to believe the "Queen" and "Prince" who had finally resurrected. If she didn't even believe her own mother and brother, who else could she believe in this world?

So she decided to talk to the Queen in person again.

Mira pushed open the door of the room, and the two guards at the door immediately turned their heads.

"Take me to see the Queen Mother!"

Mira's tone was clearly filled with anger, and she glared at the two guards with dissatisfaction.

But the guard just looked at Mira indifferently and responded: "Go back to your room. The queen is not seeing guests now."

"No visitors?"

Mira pinched her waist angrily, "Do you know who you are talking to? I am the princess of this country!"

"I want to go see my mother. Do I need your permission?"

After saying that, Mira pinched her waist and was about to walk out.

But suddenly, the guard raised the spear in his hand and blocked Mira's way.

Mira was startled by the sharp cold light. If she had not stopped in time, her pretty face would have been scratched by the spear blade.

"what!"

"you……"

Mira was about to scold the guard, but she saw the guard's cold face, staring at her like an inhuman being.

Just as the atmosphere at the door froze, a magnanimous voice came from the corridor.

"What are you doing?"

Mira looked in the direction of the voice expectantly, and the person who came was Duke Gerard.
