Conan Rick's Investigator

"Lupin III left behind a lot of guns and ammunition. You can take your pick."

The other three came to the ammunition box and saw that there were not many choices.

Kudo Yusaku glanced at the contents of the box and took the AUG rifle and Walther P38, "These are the only two I have..."

Kudo Yusaku's choice seems "greedy", as he wants to use two types of guns, but in fact the pistol is for "Conan".

After all, when it comes to football, what if you miss the kick?

Zenigata Yukiichi looked at the only remaining RPG rocket launcher with an embarrassed expression.

"I use this? Do you think I'm Runbo from First Blood?"

Kudo Yusaku turned around and asked, "Don't you know how to use it?"

Zenigata Yukichi: "I'm not a Russian police officer. I don't need a bazooka to arrest people."

"This is very simple, just like shooting a gun, just load the bullet, aim, and pull the trigger..."

Yusaku Kudo demonstrated to Yukichi Zenigata how to use the bazooka.

However, this also indirectly announced that Zenigata Yukichi did not need to enter the palace, and he was mainly responsible for providing support on the periphery.

"Our primary goal this time is to rescue the hostages, including the Maori father and daughter, the princess, and the 'rebels' in the palace..."

"And Lupin the Third!" added Zenigata Yukichi.

"Yes." Kudo Yusaku nodded. "Secondly, if the situation allows, try to find out the details of those 'things' occupying the palace, so as to prepare for a counterattack in the future..."

Kudo Yusaku announced the action plans and goals one after another, and Qin Zhibo did not interrupt.

Qin Zhibo is used to fighting alone and has little experience in group operations, except for the time when multiple parties joined forces to capture Gin.

Unfortunately, that action ultimately ended in failure...

Kudo Yusaku, on the other hand, seems to have a lot of experience in this area.

Conan also looked up at Kudo Yusaku. At this moment, he seemed to capture the personal charm from this man that his "father" in the original world did not possess.

The father in the original world, although not a dwarf in action and has abundant skills in various aspects, rarely does risky actions and is more of a daily person.

The "Yusaku Kudo" in this world gives Rao the feeling of being more like an adventurer, and even his skin color is slightly darker.

Just as Conan was looking at Kudo Yusaku, Kudo Yusaku also looked down and noticed the masked child.

He saw the outline of a pistol beneath the boy's clothes under his armpit.

Kudo Yusaku: "..."

He remained calm and continued to deploy his battle plan.

……

pm10:00

Qin Zhibo, Conan, "Conan", and Kudo Yusaku came to the abandoned warehouse that Bai had inspected.

This place is located northwest of the palace, about 1 kilometer away in a straight line, and the palace is almost out of sight.

Because of this, Zenigata Yukichi did not come.

According to the plan, he would use RPG to provide support at the main gate of the palace. If the situation was not right, he would use rocket launchers to blast open the gate of the palace at any time and lead most of the guards to the main gate.

"This is Zenigata, I'm in position, over."

Zenigata Yukichi reported his location via radio and used a telescope to observe the palace's large iron gate in the corridor of the building.

Two guards were standing solemnly in front of the big iron gate, sacred and inviolable.

If this really blew up the gates of other countries' palaces, if it wasn't handled properly, it would become an international incident...

Zenigata Yukichi knew the possible consequences of what he was going to do next, but he still chose to go all out.

The reason is simple: he must find a way to rescue Lupin III and not let Lupin die in such an unclear way.

On the other side of the intercom, Kudo Yusaku received the news from Zenigata Yukichi and was also preparing to lead a team to sneak into the palace.

"It's not too late to quit now, won't you consider it again?"

Yusaku Kudo glanced at the masked duo of Qin Zhibo and Conan again, but his words were mainly addressed to Conan.

After all, in his eyes, Conan is just a student. He may be able to use a pistol, but he can't be as mature as his son, Kudo Shinichi.

Of course, he didn't want to put his son in danger, but "Conan" refused and insisted on saving his wife himself!

Qin Zhibo never asked Conan for his opinion, nor did he need to ask.

"We, father and son, have always stood together through thick and thin!"

Qin Zhibo rubbed Conan's head to show his attitude.

Conan glanced at Qin Zhibo and felt that this "father" was becoming more and more skilled.

On the other hand, Kudo Yusaku and "Conan" were quite moved by the "deep father-son love" between Qin Zhibo.

"Okay, let's go in."

In this way, the two fathers brought their children, stepped on the trash cans, climbed over the ventilation window, and entered the abandoned warehouse.

The warehouse was pitch black. Qin Zhibo took out the old actor's [Nuclear Lighter], while Kudo Yusaku took out a flashlight.

"The entrance is this way..."

Led by Kudo Yusaku, several people came to the corner of the wall, where some discarded cardboard boxes had been removed, revealing the square cellar door underneath.

This door is made of steel and is difficult to open once it is locked. It takes a lot of time to open it using a cutting machine or by blasting it open directly.

"It's hidden quite deeply."

Qin Zhibo sighed, and he and Kudo Yusaku stood at the edge of the door frame, pulled the handle, and lifted their hands up with force.

Suddenly, the steel door on the ground was touched, and the dust splashed out of the square gap like a wave.

This is the back door used for escape in case of emergency in the palace. It is definitely not well known, and there is no need to worry about it being locked at other times.

However, there may be a sensor alarm device installed behind the door, which will trigger the alarm if someone breaks in.

Because of this, Lupin the Third may have abandoned this approach.

The solution prepared by Qin Zhibo and others was to use Qian Xingyi deployed at the main gate to attract attention.

Once the alarm is triggered, the door will be blown open immediately.

Obviously, the situation of the palace gate being blown open was even more serious.

As the cellar door gradually rose, the dark and deep space below was revealed.

Qin Zhibo was the first to lie down using the iron ladder on the wall. He scanned the surroundings with his night vision goggles and did not find any suspicious modern devices.

"No problem, come down."

After a sound, the adult and two children came down.

When the two children were climbing down the iron ladder, each family carried their own child, and no one was taken away by mistake.

Entering underground, what comes into everyone's sight is a long underground tunnel.

Judging from the oval lampshade above the tunnel and the wires exposed in the concrete walls, it looks a bit like the underground air-raid shelters of some countries during wartime, and it has a very old feel.

Due to the lack of electricity, the entire tunnel was pitch black.

Qin Zhibo and Kudo Yusaku each took their own lighting equipment and moved towards the depths of the tunnel.

After 20 minutes of uneventful hiking and more than a dozen turns, the group arrived at the end of the passage.

The wall at the end is the exit that requires climbing up. Looking up, I didn't find any sensor alarm device.

"Looks like I'm lucky..."

Kudo Yusaku opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere that had been silent for a long time due to the darkness.

This time it was Kudo Yusaku who climbed up the iron ladder for the first time, holding up the iron door with one hand and pushing it upwards.

As the gap between the iron door and the door frame gradually widened, what leaked out from the outside was not light, but still darkness.

This made Kudo Yusaku's movements a little bolder. He opened the iron gate at a wider angle and stuck half of his head out to observe the situation.

After more than ten seconds, Kudo Yusaku lowered his head and said, "No problem, come up."

Several people filed out of the underground passage and, with the help of lighting equipment, discovered that this was a closed room of about ten square meters.

There was a long table against the wall, on which stood a dark green old-fashioned telegraph machine, and a historic map of Vespasian hung on the wall.

The door of the room was not an ordinary wooden door, but a large iron door without any decoration except for the rivets exposed on the iron sheet.

Judging from these points of view, this is still the underground of the Vesbania Palace and a real air-raid shelter.

Qin Zhibo quietly came to the iron gate, opened the peek window above the iron gate, and a ray of light instantly shone in.

From the narrow rectangular window, one could see an old underground corridor outside, with cement walls and floors, and a dim light hanging above the ceiling.

If there is no one here, there will be no lights on.

on the contrary……

"There should be guard activity outside."

Qin Zhibo summarized the situation and turned back to discuss with others.

Kudo Yusaku nodded, as if he understood, and then said: "Then let's follow the original plan. Conan and I will go to rescue the Maori father and daughter and the princess, and you go to rescue Lupin the Third and the others..."

Conan, who was beside Qin Zhibo, was actually a little dissatisfied with this mission at the beginning, and blamed Qin Zhibo for not taking over the main attack, that is, the mission of saving Mao Lilan.

But Qin Zhibo's words "You are not the protagonist of this world" made Conan lose all his energy.

Well, it’s really inconvenient without the protagonist’s halo. I can’t even grab the main attack.

The four of them confirmed the target again, and Qin Zhibo slowly pushed open the door. According to Lupin III's map, he took Conan and walked deep into the corridor facing the iron gate.

Kudo Yusaku took his "Conan" and left from the left side of the iron gate.

The two father-son duos parted ways.

……

Under the dim light, two figures, one tall and one short, sneaked into the school.

It's stealth, but there's actually no point. There's nowhere to hide in the corridor, so I can only pray that I don't encounter any guards.

According to common sense, there are few guards in the palace, and there should be even fewer guards underground.

Qin Zhibo and Conan walked for a while and came to a spacious open space. In the center were two guards sitting behind their desks and resting. There were several passages in front of the open space.

The two guards chatted while watching the surveillance video.

"Hey, what's going on? The palace's underground prison hasn't had anyone imprisoned in over a decade. Suddenly, they were arresting people, and we were caught up in it..."

"Who knows? But this matter is about to end. The Queen has ordered the public execution of all rebels tomorrow." Another guard continued.

The guard was silent for a few seconds, then sighed, "Why would Captain Chis choose to rebel? His status in the palace is second only to that of the royal family, and for generations..."

The guard was about to complain, but the guard next to him quickly raised his hand and booed, trying to stop his dangerous remarks.

"Hush! Keep quiet! You're going to die!"

"This kind of thing is not something we can discuss. We soldiers have to follow the orders from above. If we get too hung up on it, we'll lose our heads!"

"By the way, have you contacted your cousin at the mine recently?"

The gossipy guard shook his head. "No...your brother-in-law is back?"

"No, I haven't had any contact with my family."

Another guard consoled him, "It shouldn't be anything serious. If there was anything wrong, we would have heard it in the palace a long time ago."

"Well, you're right..."

Qin Zhibo and Conan, who were hiding behind the corner of the wall, could hear the conversation between the two guards clearly.

Judging from these conversations that are close to people's lives, it is obvious that these two people are just ordinary guards, as ordinary as can be.

Ordinary people can only be dealt with using ordinary means.
