Chapter 417: One move can lift a thousand pounds with four ounces
"Of course there is evidence. It is in my hand, the rifle that killed the Queen."
Lupine III looked at Mouri Kogoro's face and forced a monkey smile: "The rifling marks correspond to the guns. After you killed the queen and the prince, you switched your rifle with the prince's rifle."
"What kind of evidence is this?"
Liao Wenjie curled his lips and slapped the maid next to her on the butt. He was so focused on listening to the detective's reasoning that he didn't even notice that the master's red wine glass was empty. This maid's acting skills could only get bad reviews.
There was a clear and loud snap, and Fujiko Mine, who was pretending to be a maid, sighed and poured half a glass of red wine for Liao Wenjie.
Forgive her for being such a scumbag, but she found that the intensity and angle of Count Kilard's attack seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember the specific man.
Am I having an affair with the count?
Fujiko Mine stood aside with red wine, frowning and thinking. Opposite him, Lupine III also frowned. The sound of the maid's buttocks being hit was too familiar, it was Fujiko Mine's unique sound effect.
He was confident that he would not mishear the sound effects that were engraved into his soul.
So the question arises, why did Fujiko Mine stand next to Count Kilard? Did he pretend to sneak into the situation by mistake, or did he have a business relationship with Count Kilard a long time ago?
Under normal circumstances, Fujiko Mine took a small amount of money from Count Keith to bring Princess Mira back from Japan, and was responsible for protecting her safety throughout the process. In terms of interests, she had a serious conflict with Count Kilard, and there was no way she could make two money at the same time. possible.
But the problem is, this woman is Mine Fujiko, she has both sides, and is extremely capable of making ends meet. Who knows what tricks she can do.
Lupine III thought for a moment and then stopped thinking about it. Regardless of Conan who was still under the dining table, he aimed his rifle at Count Kilard and pulled the trigger.
There was a gunshot, and there was a solemn silence in the pavilion. With the screams of the maids, the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Leaving aside the trembling attendants, there were the three stunned Princess Mira, Mao Lilan who looked like "Daddy is bad", and Koichi Qiangata who was at a loss and was struggling with whether to speak out a few words of justice.
After the gunshot ended, Lupine III looked solemn, and everyone was startled. Only Count Kilard, who was under the gun, did not change his expression, his heart did not beat, and he always kept a smile. Especially the red wine glass that continued to shake in his hand, from the time it was aimed to the sound of the gunshot, there was no trace of chaos.
Scary calm!
"As expected of an Earl of a country, you can still maintain your grace under such circumstances... Well, I thought you would be so scared that you would roll under the table." Lupine III admired you.
"How is it possible? The majesty of the royal family cannot be compromised. Even if you are shot and die, your proper magnanimity cannot be reduced."
Liao Wenjie raised his glass to toast the audience and took a sip: "It's a nice red wine. Don't you really want to try it?"
"Hahaha, just taste it. No one will touch something that is poisonous even though they know it is poisonous."
Lupine III scratched his head and laughed, but he couldn't laugh at all in his heart. Kirad's aura was too strong, and his confidence from the inside out was so arrogant that he had no friends. This man was by no means as simple as he seemed.
Lupine III was not the only one who was shocked. Mira and her guardians were also shocked by 'Girard's composure. It was the first time they knew that the conspirator they usually despised actually had such a domineering side.
There is a saying that it seems good for this man to become a king.
But no, he killed the queen and the prince, and is the country's biggest sinner. Anyone can be the king, but he cannot.
"Ahem, let's continue."
Conan coughed under the table, and Lupine III realized it later. He clenched his fists and said without embarrassment: "You may not know, Count Kilard. Prince Gil uses blank ammunition when hunting. Only The sound will not kill any life, all this is the meaning of Queen Shakra."
“Environmentalists, that’s understandable.”
Liao Wenjie nodded. On the surface, he was hunting, but in fact, he was hunting alone. He just went out for an outing to have fun.
Lupine III took a deep look at 'Gilard', put aside the tool man Conan, and said: "Queen Shakra accompanied the hunt, which makes me quite strange. As far as I know, she is not a person who likes the sport of hunting. .”
Mira: "..."
Why does Mouri Kogoro know her mother so well? Is this why she and Mouri Ran look the same?
Because the occasion was not right, Mira decided to wait for the right time before asking again. By the way, she informed Mao Lilan that her boyfriend Kudo Shinichi had slept with her long-legged sister more than once.
Mao Lilan was also confused. Her father was too familiar with Queen Shakra, who had never been masked before. In addition, her and Mira's faces were carved out of the same mold, so she decided to go back and ask questions. Ask his mother, Concubine Yingli.
Also, Mouri Kogoro was too weird today, and his whole style changed drastically. Not only did he not fall asleep to reason, he also had several dents.
Especially for shooting, she never imagined that her father would pull the trigger on a member of the royal family.
Considering that Kirad was the real murderer of Queen Shakra, this... looks like revenge for an old lover.
"When I saw this rifle, I suddenly realized that the Queen handed the blank ammunition to Prince Gil. During the entire hunting process, the only rifle that could kill lives was the gun in your hand, Count Kilard."
Conan took the opportunity to interject, even if the world was destroyed and his identity was exposed, he would finish his reasoning.
The addiction is severe and the head is high. It feels uncomfortable if I don't push it, and it will be even worse if I push it and don't talk about it.
"Regarding the matter of blank ammunition, I am not lying. There are detailed and clear records in the royal hunting records. Count Kilard, do you have anything else to say?"
After saying this, Conan felt relieved, crawled out from under the table, and collapsed on the seat.
My heart is tired, this time the reasoning has twists and turns, I am more tired than taking a hot spring bath with Mao Lilan.
"There's nothing to say, it's just weird. Why do you think I'm so arrogant?"
Liao Wenjie held the wine glass in one hand and pointed at himself with the other, shaking his head and saying: "I know that the shotgun is the biggest evidence. Once it is discovered, it will be a mountain of ironclad evidence that no one can ignore, but I just let it sit in the warehouse and gather dust without even looking at it. He even shows his face in the palace without any scruples... Tsk, it’s so arrogant, I can’t stand it anymore.”
"Because it doesn't matter!"
Lupine III took over: "The count has extremely strong confidence in himself. It doesn't matter if the crime is exposed, because today, you will clear out all the people who are in the way."
"It's not good, there are so many people."
"What does it matter? Just say that a group of people from Neon poisoned the food and killed Princess Mira. Count Keith and Commander Kyle also suffered misfortune. You were lucky enough to survive." Lupine III predicted.
"We do have such a plan. Come and feed the guests!" Liao Wenjie grinned and slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground.
However, it was of no use. None of the well-arranged swordsmen and axemen showed up. It was a collective failure.
On the roof of the palace far away from the pavilion, Ishikawa Goemon sat cross-legged holding Zantetsu sword. Next to him was Daisuke Jigen, who was smoking calmly. All the 50 palace guards were knocked down by them.
There were no intact objects left under the Zhan Tie Sword. The more than fifty unlucky people were all in ragged clothes, leaving only a few fig leaves.
"Oh, I'm most afraid that the air will suddenly become quiet. Mr. Earl must also be embarrassed, right?" Lupine III's body was tense. Kirad was not simple, and he must have a back-up plan.
"It's okay, I didn't expect those losers in the first place."
Liao Wenjie took out the bomb remote control in his arms and pointed at the pillar of the pavilion behind him: "A little surprise, as long as I move my fingers gently, you can reunite with the Queen immediately. Because the distance is too close, I will be the first to be hit. Exploded, so I hope everyone can calm down, eat and drink, maintain a harmonious atmosphere, and let things end successfully."
"It's scary, even I am in the game..."
Lupine III raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Earl, may I think that you put yourself in danger because you have no other way?"
"No, I just think it's interesting and gives some people a chance to stand up again."
Liao Wenjie picked up another red wine glass and asked the maid to pour the wine. He looked at Princess Mila's guardians on her left and right: "Keith, in the entire Kingdom of Vespania, you are the person I look up to most, but the Queen doesn't understand. Appreciate, you hold the fictitious title of earl of a country, but you are actually a nanny for the royal family. Are you really willing to waste your talents on this small country?"
"And Kyle, you are the commander of the Royal Guards, and your bravery is known to everyone. In fact, you are just a bodyguard and a tool to stop bullets. With the hot blood flowing in your body, are you really willing to be lonely for the rest of your life?"
"You two, I can hear your souls wailing. The cowardly Vespagna has limited you. She is not worthy of you!"
Liao Wenjie put down the red wine glass, stretched out his hand to hold it, and said passionately and boldly: "But you can change this country and make it worthy of you. What are you still hesitating about? Men should look at the world and make a big splash. Come here Come on, join me in expanding the territory of the Kingdom of Vespania!"
"..."xN
Everyone was shocked by Earl Kilard's ambition, but they had to admit that this guy was very good at giving speeches, and those who were bystanders were excited to hear it.
This was especially true for Earl Keith and Kyle. When they first heard this, they felt that Kirad had a royal aura, and his whole body was glowing with golden light. They almost surrendered and became his lackey.
"Count Kilard, your speech is very inflammatory, but it is difficult to follow your orders."
Keith glanced at Princess Mila and saw that she was in a panic. He held her hand to express comfort and said coldly to 'Kilard': "The Stinka family has served the royal family for generations. My blood is only for the royal family. Not a drop will be shed for you.”
Kyle: Me too!
"Tsk, what a move to move a thousand pounds, it's really obscene!"
Liao Wenjie looked disgusted: "The righteousness of our family and country is as heavy as a thousand pounds, but it is not as important as the four ounces of flesh on our chest. You two let me down so much."
(_)xN
The dirty person is obviously you! xN
"Uncle, is this the reason why you killed your mother and brother, for... power?"
Princess Mila murmured. Although she had guessed that her mother and brother were killed by her uncle a long time ago, which was why she hated becoming the queen, when the truth was revealed and bloody, she still couldn't help but be attracted by the royal family. The ruthlessness hurt deeply.
"On the one hand, it's for power. When I first started, I personally didn't have any thoughts in this regard...Okay, I admit, I had the idea of becoming a king, but the main reason is that the queen is too bad."
Liao Wenjie sneered: "You should know that the power of Vespagna ore is enough to break the world's military balance. It is a treasure that everyone desires desperately, but the Queen prohibits its mining on the grounds of... protecting the natural environment."
"Because of this?!" Mira looked in disbelief.
"Of course, a king without ambition, a king who cannot make the country strong, and a king who cannot fight for the interests of the people, is not qualified to be king." Liao Wenjie replied ruthlessly.
"Excuse me, let me interrupt."
Lupine III rubbed Conan's little head: "I think the queen is right. With the weak national strength of the Kingdom of Vespania, even military weapons have to be imported from friendly countries, so there is no way to hold on to the ore. In this case, Simply don’t mine and continue to maintain a neutral stance.”
"Yes, with Vespania's national strength, it is impossible to keep the ore in its wildest dreams. The country's fate can only be divided up by the big powers. It is spread across military bases and becomes a battlefield for international interests."
Liao Wenjie nodded in affirmation, and then said: "Then have you ever heard the saying that when someone suspects that your family has weapons of mass destruction, you'd better have it."
"..."xN
"This is the tragedy of a small country. The queen's decision was to wait for death, and my decision was to rise up and resist. She suppressed me for half a year. This country really can't afford to wait anymore."
Liao Wenjie stood up, pulled out the Beretta M92F from his waist, pointed at the confused Princess Mira, and said domineeringly: "Keith, Kyle, this is your last chance to serve me..."
boom!
There was a gunshot in the distance, and the M92F pistol was shot away. Liao Wenjie shook his hand and looked at the distant roof in displeasure: "Damn it, you dare to interrupt my fun, you are dead."
At this moment, Fujiko Mine, pretending to be a maid, launched a sneak attack, hit someone with the ball and hugged Liao Wenjie's hand holding the bomb remote control, and exerted her strength...
He was pulled into Liao Wenjie's arms.
"Why did you hit me?"
"Ah this..."
Mine Fujiko smiled coquettishly, hugged Liao Wenjie's arm tightly, and pressed his palm that was holding the remote control tightly. She winked and said cutely: "Well, I suddenly felt that the earl was so handsome and stylish. I fell in love with you by accident. This is the reason. May I?"
"hehe!"
"Fujiko, well done."
Lupine III jumped up, charged forward, lay on his side on the long dining table, kicked Liao Wenjie's waist and abdomen with a sliding shovel, and knocked him unconscious with a confident blow.
Liao Wenjie stepped aside, and the moment he passed by Lupine III, he kicked him to the ground.
The three people, all of whom were faceless, were entangled together. Liao Wenjie was condescending, looking down at Lupine III who failed to slide, and said indifferently: "Monkey, what do you want to do?"
"Oh, the Count's leather shoes are dirty. Let me wipe them for you."
Lupine III had sweat on his forehead, smiled and scratched his head, then grabbed his sleeve and rubbed it on Liao Wenjie's white shoes.
Just working hard.
"Hatui!"
"Bah, bah, bah, bah"
Hey, white shoes...
Why do suits come with whiteboards and leather shoes?
If you look closely, you can see that the color of the trousers is also wrong. Only the hand-customized suit jacket is very tasteful and worthy of the earl's status.
Lupine III frowned. His fake disguise was seen through. Is this person... really Count Kilard?
