Become a legend in Hong Kong

Chapter 416 There is still such a thing

Palace garden, pavilion.

Similar to a water pavilion in a Chinese garden, it is connected by a stone bridge and is located beside the diving pool. You can enjoy the ornamental fish in the pool from close up and the entire garden from a distance.

Liao Wenjie, dressed as Count Kilard, followed by two attendants, rushed to the pavilion first and sat down unceremoniously at the head seat of the long table.

The Kingdom of Vespagna is a monarchy. Kirad's identity is a count, and this place is the royal palace. This position currently only belongs to Princess Mila. Three days later, she will be crowned queen.

After a while, the main personnel and guests from the palace came one after another.

Seeing the arrogant and domineering 'Khilad', these people were all stunned for a moment. They knew that he had ideas, but this was too blatant. Wouldn't it be better to keep a low profile when doing things?

Princess Mila came with her guardians, the handsome blond Count Keith, and the black-haired round-inch male Royal Guard Commander Kyle. The latter saw that 'Kilard' didn't take the princess seriously at all, and even showed no regard for basic etiquette. If you don't comply, you will immediately come forward with a frown.

was stopped.

Earl Keith held Kyle's shoulders, shook his head slightly, and pulled out the chair next to him for Princess Mira to sit down.

The guest's seat was far away from the main seat. After taking Mira to sit down, the two of them protected her on the left and right in the middle and remained silent the whole time.

The master didn't say anything, and it was even harder for outsiders to say anything. Conan and his party sat down at the table, sighing at the ruthlessness of the royal family, and sat next to Princess Mila, proving their support for her with practical actions.

Not to mention that all kinds of evidence show that Kilard is the murderer of the queen and prince, just because Mira and Mao Lilan have the same faces, they will not make a second choice.

It was almost time to eat, and everyone was almost there, but there was still one Zengata Yukichi left. After an hour, he still couldn't find Lupine III.

Liao Wenjie snapped his fingers and asked the maids to serve the meal. He looked at Mao Lilan and Princess Mila: "It's incredible, it's like looking in the mirror. Are you sure it's not the blood of the royal family that has been leaked outside?"

"..."xN

Everyone looked at Mouri Kogoro, shocked that this move hurt people's self-esteem, and all looked away with pity.

Mouri Kogoro scratched his head: "Hahaha, probably not. Having said that, I was also surprised when I first met the princess. If I hadn't been very sure that I had never been to Vespania and had never met Queen Shakra, I would have Everyone has doubts..."

Bang!

Mao Lilan retracted her feet under the dining table, clenched her fists and coughed lightly, telling her father not to talk nonsense, because she would tell Fei Yingli.

Mouri Kogoro grimaced in pain. The kick was so heavy that he burst into tears.

Liao Wenjie looked at it for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. It was the face of Mouri Kogoro, but inside it was the aura of Lupine the Third. As expected, the real Moori Kogoro should be sleeping in a corner of the palace.

Also, the maid who served him immediately after serving his dinner plate had such thick front armor that he couldn't help but think of Fujiko Mine.

"The delicious food is in front of you. You're welcome, please use it!"

Liao Wenjie picked up the knife and fork and saw that everyone was sitting upright and no one was eating. He smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I don't despise such low-level tricks as poisoning. There is nothing wrong with this meal. It won't kill anyone."

"..."xN

"Hehehe."

Seeing that no one believed it, Liao Wenjie didn't mind and asked the maid to pour a glass of wine. He rolled up a thread-like thing that was probably pasta with a knife and fork, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it whole.

The effect of testing the poison in person was not very good. He was the only one eating at the entire table, while everyone else was studying the knives and forks. Conan even started to popularize the origin of knives and forks.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Koichi Zenagata ran over panting, his mouth was dry, he picked up a glass of red wine to moisten his mouth.

From the corner of his eye, he saw that everyone was waiting and not enjoying the food. Only Count Kilard was enjoying the meal. He couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth and put the wine glass back to its original position.

This throat is not moist.

"Officer Qianxing, how is the investigation of the stolen crown case?" Liao Wenjie picked up the tablecloth and wiped the stains on his mouth. The actors all entered the room and it was time to turn on the camera.

"I was just going to talk about it. Now that the count has brought it up, let's get started."

Koichi Zenagata did not want to get involved in the royal family dispute. He only came here for Lupine III. He ignored the awkward atmosphere and said bluntly: "Just now, the Queen's crown was stolen from the palace vault. The thief is undoubtedly Lupine III... "

Just when Koichi Zenagata was excitedly talking about Lupine the Third, Conan took advantage of everyone's attention, jumped off the seat, walked to the corner of the pavilion, and pointed a watch-shaped anesthesia gun at 'Mouri Kogoro'.

Under normal circumstances, Conan is very accurate. Except for Mourilan who is reluctant to shoot, others are always accurate, such as Mouri Kogoro and Suzuki Sonoko. They rarely escape from the clutches of the devil.

Today was an exception. Lupine III, who was dressed as Mouri Kogoro, turned slightly sideways and easily avoided the anesthesia needle, and pushed Zenegata Koichi into the pit.

Phew!

After the undetectable sound of piercing the air, Qiangata Yuki rolled his eyes and sat unsteadily on the chair next to him, taking the shape of a 'thinker'.

"Oops!"

Conan secretly thought there was trouble and hurriedly adjusted the butterfly-shaped voice changer to imitate the voice of Koichi Zenagata. At the same time, I feel that this police officer is much more reliable than Mouri Kogoro. Among other things, the unconscious appearance is very similar to reasoning, and the onlookers have a strong sense of empathy.

"Officer Qianxing, are you okay?" Liao Wenjie asked kindly.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Earl. I'm fine. I suddenly remembered another thing. The real culprit behind the assassination of Princess Mila is hidden among you, and he has successfully killed Queen Shakra and Prince Gil..."

"etc!"

Liao Wenjie raised his hand to shout stop, glanced at everyone present with a serious face, and raised his eyebrows: "Don't you think it's strange? Officer Qian Xing is obviously on my left, but the source of his voice when he speaks is on my right, and … His lips didn’t move at all.”

"Count Kilard, please don't change the subject."

Conan held the voice changer in his hand, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and took advantage of his short stature to get under the long table.

Because it was covered with white cloth, no one noticed a person crawling under the table.

Except Liao Wenjie.

"Guest from Neon, your kid got under the table. Please ask him to come out quickly, so as not to delay Officer Qianxing's wonderful reasoning." Liao Wenjie picked up the red wine glass and shook the bright red liquid in the glass slightly.

"I'm so sorry!"

Mao Lilan stood up with a red face, bowed and apologized to everyone, lifted the tablecloth, and took out the confused Conan.

Conan: ∠(□-□)

Who am I, where am I, what happened?

"Okay, Officer Qianxing, there are no troublesome children, you can continue talking." Liao Wenjie shook the red wine glass, and when he mentioned 'children', he looked at Conan with a smile, raised the wine glass and gave a toast.

"Hiss!"

Conan took a breath, trouble was coming. Count Kilard's IQ was much higher than he thought, and his observation skills were extremely sharp. He might have been...exposed.

Before it was over, just when Liao Wenjie urged Qiangata Koichi, the latter yawned and woke up from his sleep.

How is it possible? Even an elephant has to sleep for 30 minutes. Is this guy a monster?

Conan has been shocked for a whole year. He knows very little about Lupine III and his gang, and has no idea how much Sugata Koichi endured and how many tears he shed in order to capture Lupine III.

It can be said that because of Qiangata Koichi's fighting spirit after repeated defeats, his body was constantly tortured and exceeded its limits time and time again. Whatever could not kill him would make him stronger.

Changata was immune to drugs such as anesthesia injections early in the morning.

Liao Wenjie didn't know about this, but he could see that Koichi Zenagata's body was very strong, and he thought that if Conan continued to ejaculate without restraint, sooner or later Kogoro Mouri's body would be immune to anesthetic drugs.

"Officer Zenegata, continue, I am very interested in your reasoning. Tell us quickly, who killed the queen and prince, and assassinated the princess multiple times?"

Liao Wenjie's face was solemn and he said angrily: "I always thought that the death of the two royal members was a hunting accident, but I didn't expect that someone secretly planned everything. Damn it..."

The look of indignation is just like the real thing.

Koichi Zenagata continued to be confused, pointing at himself, not knowing what was happening.

Conan tried to sneak under the table, but was punched above the head by Mao Lilan. He lay smoking on the table and fell into despair.

No more, he really had no choice.

Seeing that the plot had collapsed and the male protagonist was incapacitated due to domestic violence, Liao Wenjie raised the corners of his mouth and started reading according to his own script.

"I know, there is only one truth, Count Keith, it is you, you are the real culprit behind the scenes!"

Liao Wenjie slapped the table and stood up, pointing his big finger at the guardian Zuo next to Mira, and said sadly: "As far as I know, you have coveted Queen Shakra, who has been single for many years, and your confession was rejected many times, so you conspired because of love and hatred. Killed her."

"I'm not, I didn't! The Stinka family has served the royal family for 200 years and has never forgotten their status as courtiers from generation to generation. How could I..."

Suddenly becoming the center of attention, Keith hurriedly stood up and explained that it was not important that his reputation was damaged, but that the Queen's reputation should not be insulted.

"Okay, no need to explain, I believe you."

Liao Wenjie nodded, pointed to Princess Mila's right protector instead, and said angrily: "Kyle, stop acting, I know you did all this."

"???"

The black pot came and Kyle jumped up in fright.

"You are the commander of the royal guard. On the day when the queen and prince went hunting, you were the one who maintained the security there. You also provided all the hunting guns. If not you, who else could have killed them?"

Liao Wenjie's eyes widened: "Admit it, all the evidence points to you, what else is there to quibble about!"

"No, the real murderer could never be me. Everyone knows his true identity."

Kyle looked at Liao Wenjie with a dark face, gritted his teeth for a while, then turned to 'Moori Kogoro' and said: "Mr. Detective, you asked me to bring the shotgun that shot the Queen before, and tell me that the truth is all in this shotgun. , I brought it here as you ordered."

As he said that, a palace guard took a spear and placed it in front of 'Moori Kogoro'.

"Uh...did I say that?"

Lupine III's eyes twitched, and he secretly thought that it was bad luck. If he had known that Mouri Kogoro had seen through everything, he would have replaced him with someone else.

"Yes, please ask Conan to send a message that this shotgun is the most important evidence."

"I see……"

Thinking of Conan's failure to anesthetize himself, accidentally injuring Koichi Zenagata, and using the other person's identity to change his voice to reason, Lupine III figured everything out and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I said that. It was indeed me who asked Conan to send you the message."

Having said this, Lupine III lowered his head and winked at Conan, picked up his collar and stuffed it under the table.

Conan: "..."

What do you mean, does it match the performance?

Why is this happening? Did Maori already know his identity?

Probably not. If Kogoro Maori really knew, would he tolerate him and Maori Lan taking baths in hot springs several times?

Conan panicked a lot, thinking that the end of this showdown would be the day of his death, and he adjusted his voice changer in grief, planning to have someone on his back before he died.

"Dad, what are you..."

"The reasoning that follows is rather cruel, and I don't want the children to hear it."

Lupine III was not calm. Seeing the identical faces of Mao Lilan and Princess Mila, he deeply doubted whether the person he was pretending to have had an affair with Queen Shakra. It was obvious that Prince Gil was a blond European.

"Ahem!"

There was a coughing sound at his feet. Lupine III clenched his fist to his mouth in time and said in tune: "On the day of hunting, Prince Gil aimed at the fox under the cherry blossom tree. When he was about to shoot, Queen Shakra walked out from behind the tree and wanted to He let the little fox go, but unfortunately he was hit by a bullet... Then Count Kilard rushed to the scene, and the collapsed prince snatched the revolver he carried and committed suicide..."

"The above is the testimony of Count Kilard."

Lupine III looked at Liao Wenjie and interrupted: "Earl, am I right?"

"Ah, that should be right."

Liao Wenjie nodded. He didn't ask, but he probably said it before.

"Very good. Since Count Kilard has no doubts about the testimony, I will continue to reason downwards."

Lupine III said: "When Prince Gil committed suicide, he held a gun with his right hand and pointed it at his right temple... Well, Princess Mira, what do you think?"

"My brother is left-handed." Mira denied. The prince was raised as an heir since childhood. Although he was left-handed, he was taught to use his right hand to eat and sign.

"Here comes the classic left-hander..."

Liao Wenjie nodded repeatedly, just like choosing one from three, no detective story without a left-handed man would be complete.

"This is a rotating pull-back rifle. It is not custom-made. The bolt for loading bullets is installed on the right side..."

Lupine III pulled the bolt and heard the sound of a bullet being loaded. He suddenly thought of something and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "I see, it turns out this is the way to kill. I was misled before."

Conan pulled back the tablecloth and stared at Lupine III, frowning and becoming suspicious.

Two possibilities!

The first is that Mouri Kogoro is very smart and keeps pretending to be stupid. The second is that the person in front of him is not Moori Kogoro at all.

Out of his desire to survive, he hoped to be the second type.

Lupine III smiled apologetically, pushed Conan back under the table with a slap, clenched his fists, coughed twice, and continued: "Count Kilard, after you shot the queen, you killed the prince at close range with a revolver, switched two rifles, and then shot The revolver was stuffed into the prince's right hand, creating the illusion that the prince committed suicide... right?"

"There is such a thing..."

Liao Wenjie frowned slightly. He only knew that Kilard killed the queen and prince, but did not ask about the specific method.

"Earl, are you still going to pretend?"

"No, I just want to hear the evidence. If you are talking nonsense, I will go crazy!"
