Chapter 420 Kid, do you know Kudo Shinichi?
"I agree!"
Lupine III raised his arms and shouted, holding Conan away from the rest of the onlookers, with a loyal look on his face: "The first time I saw the earl... no, when I saw your majesty, I knew he was Vespa. The Kingdom of Nia is a wise and unyielding leader, and Princess Mira is not even worthy of carrying his shoes."
"Really, do you really think so?"
"It's absolutely true. It couldn't be truer."
"In that case, why did you reveal the truth about me killing the queen and prince in public when you were pretending to be a Maori detective?"
Liao Wenjie had a playful look on his face, and his eyes swept back and forth between Lupine III and Conan: "Also, you were the one who locked me in the pavilion and wanted to blow me up, right?"
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood."
Lupine III shed a drop of cold sweat on his forehead, raised his hand to cover Conan's face, and said flatteringly: "In fact, I have been cooperating with His Majesty in the whole performance, whether it is reasoning or bombing, if His Majesty did not find it interesting, how could I have succeeded? Chance."
"It makes sense, so I'll just trust you once."
"I object."
In the pool, Mira clenched her fists and looked at Liao Wenjie through gritted teeth: "You killed your mother and brother. This country cannot be handed over to you no matter what."
"invalid objection!"
Liao Wenjie jumped into the pool and walked towards Mira on the water: "Only those who agree can survive, those who oppose will die, and the dead cannot speak, so opposition is invalid."
Keith and Kyle stood in front of Mira at the right time. Facing the 'Kirad' who was strolling in the garden and walking on the water, the pressure was extremely huge.
It's impossible to fight, because if you can't beat them, you can only imitate Lupine III and surrender and join the opponent.
"Count Kilard, Kyle and I are willing to serve you and follow all your orders from now on."
Keith glanced at Kyle to confirm that everyone had the same opinion, and continued: "As long as you let Princess Mira go, the two of us will help you clear all the obstacles in your rise to power."
"It's too late. I gave you one last chance, but you didn't cherish it. It's too late to say this now."
Liao Wenjie waved away the two of them and looked down at the trembling Mira. His cold and heartless eyes made the latter dare not look at each other for two seconds.
They look so similar. No matter how you look at them, they are carved from the same mold as Mao Lilan. Are you sure they are not related by blood?
understood!
No wonder the Neon people insist on leaving Asia and joining Europe, and claim that they have white ancestry. It turns out that they are not talking nonsense and are based on facts.
"Your Majesty, the princess cannot shake your rule. I suggest you keep her alive. Not only will it show your kindness, but it will also help to win over domestic opposition forces." Keith said hurriedly.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"No, I don't dare."
“To cut off the weeds, we must remove the roots. If hidden dangers are not removed, great disaster will result.”
Liao Wenjie knelt down, looked into Mira's eyes that were mixed with fear and stubbornness, and grinned: "However, I can give you a chance. If you want the princess to survive, then search the palace to find two keys for me."
"key?"
"Half a year ago, the Queen stole two keys from me. I only know that they are in the palace, but the specific location is not clear..."
…
Night, palace, side hall.
Peacefulness.
Liao Wenjie sat on the main seat, holding his chin with one hand and taking a nap with his eyes closed.
Fujiko Mine, who had taken off her maid disguise, was dancing. The would-be king 'Girard' had given an order that she was not allowed to stop until the key was found, even if she had to urinate.
In the corner, a row of people squatted neatly, sighing and sighing, thinking about what happened today, they all couldn't accept it.
It's so outrageous, if I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dared to dream of such a plot.
Not everyone is crestfallen. There are two obvious outliers: Goemon Ishikawa, who is wrapped in bandages and has a concave Iai style, and Kogoro Mori, who is sleeping soundly.
This guy was put down by Lupine III with sleeping pills. When he was found, he was lying in the bathroom wearing only a pair of underwear. The sleeping Kogoro lived up to his reputation.
In order to save Princess Mira's life, Keith and Kyle decisively became the villain of the evil count. The former held a pistol and supervised everyone with an expressionless face, especially Fujiko Mine. If he dared to stop, he would be prepared to be shot. .
Kyle led the guards to rummage through the palace, looking for two keys hidden by the queen according to Liao Wenjie's description.
They are said to be keys, but they are actually two stone wedges used to set grooves. They are a crucial part of the altar pattern.
Just when Fujiko Mine was so tired that her feet gave out, Kyle walked in quickly with a suitcase in hand and a very strange look on his face.
Keith walked up to him and asked in a low voice: "Kyle, what's in the box?"
The group of people eavesdropping secretly pricked up their ears. The identity of the prisoner did not affect their curiosity about the key. For example, Conan and Lupine III were the most curious. The count had a non-human level of force value and was valued by him. Something must be of amazing value.
"In the box is the Queen's Crown, found in the princess's bedroom." Kyle replied.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Lupine III with disdain. Forgetting stealing things, he actually hid the stolen goods in the princess's boudoir. This man was really too wretched.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. I didn't steal the crown."
Lupine III quickly distanced himself from the relationship and looked at Koichi Kanagata next to him aggrievedly: "Uncle, you know me best here. Tell them quickly that the crown was stolen by Fujiko, and I am also a victim."
"hehe."
Qian Xingxing smiled and rolled his eyes at Lupine III, too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
"Where is the key? Haven't you found the key yet?"
Keith was worried. The royal family had undergone drastic changes and its strength was weak. The only thing he could do was to protect the princess as much as possible.
"I didn't find the key, but I found a person in... the count's office..."
Kyle carefully glanced at the main seat in the distance and whispered: "I found Count Kilard. He was bruised and swollen and was tied up and stuffed in the closet. I can confirm that it is him."
"Kyle, are you serious...are you kidding?"
Keith was struck by lightning. If Kilard was in the office, who was sitting on the chair?
"..."xN
The conversation between the two was very quiet, but because the distance was too close, the row of people squatting in the corner heard it. After a brief shock, they started whispering to each other.
Conan bit his nails and began to comb through clues, recalling everything that 'Kilard' said and did today, trying to find clues about his true identity.
Lupine III was thoughtful, and he had suspected when he was polishing his shoes that Count Gerard was not himself, and that someone had disguised himself as him. Now it seems that the mysterious strong man pretending to be Count Kilard came for the two keys.
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Lupine III came to Ishikawa Goemon's side and poked the latter's waist, waking him up from his concave shape.
"Goemon, is it possible that the god you are talking about is the same person as Count Kirad?"
Lupine III believed that the possibility was very high. The Kingdom of Vespagna was as small as the palm of his hand. There was no reason for two strong men who could torture Ishikawa Goemon to doubt his life at the same time. The probability was too small.
Just because the probability is small doesn't mean it won't happen. He needs to listen to the abused, ahem, and professionals.
"impossible!"
Ishikawa Goemon categorically denied: "You who are proficient in the art of disguise should know very well that judging people by their appearance is a taboo. How to distinguish a person is not with the eyes, but with the breath..."
"Okay, okay, everything you said is right."
Lupine III interrupted the sermon and said bluntly: "Let me ask another question. If the god that night pretended to be a count, could you tell the difference?"
"..."
Ishikawa Goemon was silent, closed his eyes and continued to make a concave look, taking back his previous words, he was arbitrary.
Lupine the Third received the answer and came to Conan's side: "Hey, kid, you are from Neon. Have you ever heard of Kudo Shinichi?"
"ha!?"
Conan's eyes widened. Lupine III had asked the right person. No one in the world understood Kudo Shinichi better than him.
"It's that high school detective who's a little famous. You're so good at reasoning and you're from the same country as him, so you should have heard of him."
Lupine III touched his chin, fearing that Conan didn't know, and gave a few key words: "Like me, Kudo Shinichi is handsome, lustful, and has a chaotic private life..."
"Stop for a moment. Do you have any misunderstandings about Brother Shinichi?"
Conan interrupted with a dark face. He didn't deny that he was handsome. It was quite pertinent. But what are the meanings of lustful and chaotic private life? Are they the latest complimentary terms?
If the meaning is literal, he has never even touched a girl's hand a few times. Are you sure you are talking about him?
"There is no misunderstanding. I was at the scene and can testify that everything Mr. Lupine said is correct."
Mira quietly interjected and said to Mao Lilan who was listening attentively: "Xiaolan, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to tell you alone. Now that the time is right, I advise you to break up with Kudo Shinichi and don't let the scumbag deceive you of your youth."
She saw it with her own eyes, how could it be false!
∑(□д()
"I met Kudo Shinichi two days ago in this country. He mistakenly identified me as you, and then..."
Mira pointed at the dancing Fujiko Mine and said contemptuously: "They went to bed, and the whole process from meeting to confirming and booking a room in the hotel took less than a minute. Listen to me, this kind of man is not worth your time. "
"Ah this..."
Mao Lilan's mouth opened wide when she heard this, and she wanted to defend Kudo Shinichi. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Fujiko Mine dancing, and she suddenly hesitated.
A beautiful long-legged sister with impeccable looks and figure, and her innate charm, let alone men, she is secretly attracted by her as a woman.
Considering that Kudo Shinichi was out of contact, it was not impossible that he would appear in the Kingdom of Vespania. He happened to meet the irresistible Fujiko Mine, so he followed the trend... and couldn't resist the temptation.
It's reasonable, well-founded and has witnesses, and it's very logical.
For a moment, Mao Lilan's face turned terrifyingly gloomy: "That bastard, no wonder he refused to return to Neon..."
There is murderous intent! !
Conan's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he immediately said in a loud voice: "Impossible, I don't believe it, you lied, Shinichi-san is not that kind of person!!"
