The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

In the Royal Palace of Vespagna, Fujiko Mine easily walked around the maze of corridors based on the blueprint of the palace that she had obtained in advance.

Sometimes when she encounters patrolling guards, she can easily avoid them by relying on her grasp of the terrain and her agile body.

Soon, Fujiko Mine arrived at the entrance to the basement of the palace, where various important assets of the Kingdom of Vespania were stored.

All the gold reserves of the Kingdom of Vespania are stored in this underground treasure house.

However, Fujiko Mine's purpose this time was not to reserve gold. After all, gold was too heavy to be handled by a female thief like her who specialized in doing pretty things.

What she is eyeing is the crown of the Kingdom of Vespania, which is inlaid with precious jewelry. It is a unique treasure in terms of its own value and historical and cultural value.

This crown will only appear when the new king is crowned. At other times, it is closely protected in the basement of the palace.

Fujiko Mine hid behind the wall and was about to take action against the guards at the door when a group of people suddenly walked out of the basement entrance.

"It seems that your protection is very strict..."

The Chan-shaped police officer wearing an earth-yellow windbreaker came up from the bottom of the stairs, with a member of the bodyguard beside him.

"But based on my many years of experience fighting against Lupine, this person is pervasive and we must not let down our guard..."

"yes."

The member of the guard team next to him nodded, and the Qianxing Police Department continued: "Then let's go to other places to look."

Under the leadership of the guards, the Zenigata Police Department left the basement and walked towards another corridor.

Mine Fujiko hid behind the wall here, watching the Zenigata Police Department leave, with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

Unexpectedly, I met an old acquaintance again...

But it’s not just Lupine who’s going to attack this time~

After the Zenigata Police Department walked away, Fujiko Mine walked out from behind the wall, with a shy expression on her face, and walked towards the two guards with her legs crossed.

"Um...sorry~ I'm lost. Where is the toilet?"

Suddenly a beautiful woman appeared and put on a seductive posture, which made the two guards who were standing guard out of boredom blush slightly and forgot to confirm each other's identity first.

"The toilet is in the corridor over there, go straight, turn right and you'll see it..."

"Do you need me to show you the way?"

The two guards were thinking wildly, and Mine Fujiko had already taken the opportunity to walk to them.

"No, I can just go by myself..."

"By the way, can you help me pick up this box?"

As soon as one of the guards happily took the box that was handed to him, Fujiko Mine suddenly raised her lady's bag with her backhand and hit the guard next to her on the temple.

The guard immediately fainted and fell to the ground, and the guard holding the box was punched in the face by Fujiko Mine before he could react and was knocked unconscious.

Effortlessly clearing away the two guards, Fujiko Mine pulled the two of them into the next room in order not to be discovered by the patrolling guards too soon.

Then, Fujiko Mine came to the basement without any obstruction.

Compared with the palace on the ground, the architectural style of the basement is very simple and technological, with silver metal as the main theme.

Passing through the long corridor, there is a central console behind a circular door, with three guards sitting in the middle for 24-hour surveillance.

Fujiko Mine took out a smoke bomb from the woman's bag, put on a gas mask, and threw the smoke bomb from the ground to near the center console.

Light white smoke slowly poured out. By the time the three guards noticed the smoke, the sleeping gas had already caused them to lose 80% of their physical skills.

A guard was still struggling to get up and wanted to press the alarm on the center console. Fujiko Mine, wearing a gas mask, had already walked over and slapped the man unconscious.

"Da 咩yo~"

After getting rid of all the guards, Fujiko Mine took a gold card from the guard's chest, came to the center console, put on white gloves, tapped quickly on the keyboard with his fingers, and slid the gold card over again.

Beep, beep, beep...

The metal door shaped like a millstone opened slowly, making way for the space behind it.

And the extremely precious crown is on the display stand in the middle.

However, even if the crown is right in front of her eyes, it is still not easy for Mine Fujiko to enter.

The floor of this treasure house is equipped with a gravity sensor device, a temperature sensor device, and an infrared sensor device. The device cannot be closed from the outside.

Once any of these are triggered, the door to the treasure house will close and the alarm will be triggered.

Faced with this situation, Fujiko Mine smiled slightly and took out something else from her bag.

This is a high-tech sphere, the size of a baseball, but its metal surface is covered with a large number of sophisticated electronic components.

The function of this thing is to send special signals at a fixed frequency, which can block electronic signals within 10 meters around it within 30 seconds.

The raw material of this sphere is the Vespagna ore that Lupine III stole from the mine.

Of course, the sphere itself was also made by Lupine III.

One night while resting at Lupine III's stronghold, Fujiko Mine learned that Lupine III planned to use this thing to break through the treasure house's protection system.

So, on the way to the palace, Mine Fujiko used a baseball as a substitute and took away Lupine's treasured sphere.

Fujiko Mine turned on the switch of the sphere and threw it from the outside into the treasure house.

The metal ball bounced on the floor a few times, but did not trigger the weight sensing device, which meant that the signal of the protection system had been blocked.

Fujiko Mine walked confidently and boldly on the floor into the treasure house, opened the glass cover above the crown with both hands, and the treasure was within easy reach.

Looking at the dazzling crown in front of him, Fujiko Mine's eyes showed greed.

"I will take the queen's crown away~"

But just when she was staring at the crown intently and was about to raise her hand to take it away, she was completely unaware that a man dressed as a guard was approaching quietly from behind.

The "guard" raised his palm and hit Fujiko Mine's neck with a powerful and heavy blow.

Bang.

Fujiko Mine, who was attracted by the treasure, was knocked unconscious and the crown in her hand also fell to the ground.

However, the "guard" did not pay attention to the national treasure of Vespania that was gathering dust in front of him, and turned towards the inconspicuous high-tech sphere on the floor next to it.

He clasped the ball tightly with a few fingers and broke it with force. The welded metal shell on the outside was torn open, revealing the Vespagna ore inside.

The "guard" took out the ore and put it into his pocket. The whole process was as simple as peeling melon seeds.

After doing this, the "guard" pressed the headset on his ear expressionlessly.

"Ore recovery completed..."

"..."

Someone in the headset said something unknown, and the "guard" ended the contact, then turned and walked towards Fujiko Mine who was standing aside.

Mine Fujiko's body was grabbed by a hand and placed on the "guard's" shoulders.

The "guard" walked towards the outside of the treasure house with steady steps, never glancing at the bright crown that fell to the ground.

…

At the Royal Palace of Vespania, Lupine III and Daisuke Jigen finished eating the meal provided by the palace and planned to split up.

The goal of the two this time is to steal the Queen's Crown, the treasure of the Kingdom of Vespania.

Lupine had the opportunity to take this crown more than twenty years ago, including the queen's own girlish heart.

But at the critical moment when he could choose to leave, Lupine felt compassion and voluntarily gave up the crown and rejected the queen's confession.

Now that his old friend has passed away, there is no need for Lupine to keep the promise he made many years ago and prepare to take away this "missed" treasure.

As usual, Lupine III is responsible for going deep into the tiger's den, while Daisuke Jigen is on the outside ready to support at any time.

Lupine also mastered the map of the palace with Daisuke Jigen's advance visit, and now he arrived at the entrance to the basement of the palace with ease.

But when he arrived at the entrance, Lupine discovered that there were no guards outside.

"Yo?"

Lupine carefully observed it and made sure it was not a trap before getting into the basement.

After walking through the long silver corridor, Lupine also came to the door of the central control room and took out his special sprayer from his arms.

"The door seems to be open~"

"The thief is coming in~"

Lupine's theft process is the same as Kaitou Kidd. It is not as serious as imagined, and it feels like amusement.

"Sleep sprayer!"

Lupine jumped out from behind the wall and was about to sneak attack the guards behind him, but was shocked by what he saw.

The two guards were twisted on the ground, and the door of the treasure house was wide open, looking like it had just been captured by outsiders.

"Ah-huh?"

Lupine was also confused by the situation, but soon found the answer.

As soon as he fumbled for the signal shielding sphere on his body, and when he took it out, it turned into a baseball, the answer was immediately revealed.

The only person who had the opportunity to approach him today and had the reason to do so was Fujiko Mine.

"Hahaha... I was completely fooled..."

Lupine helplessly mocked himself, and was about to turn around and retreat when he saw the treasure house inside, and something like a shiny hat fell on the ground next to the display cabinet.

He quickly stepped forward to take a look and found that it was actually a crown!

"Um--?"

Lupine made a very long final note, feeling even more puzzled.

That woman Fujiko didn't take away the crown?

Lupine did not rush in, but glanced at the ground and found that in addition to the crown, there was a hemisphere that was torn in half.

Take a closer look, isn't that the signal jammer you made yourself?

Lupine was even more confused now. He remembered that the sphere he made was made of metal welded. How could it be destroyed like this?

And the ore inside is also missing...

However, although the current situation is unclear, Lupine can confirm one thing.

These two things fell to the ground, but did not trigger the alarm, indicating that the protection system had been lifted.

Why don't you go in and find out now?

Lupine rolled his eyes and was about to step into the floor with his left foot, but the sole of his foot hovered in the air for a second and then suddenly retracted.

Lupine the Third stood there and smiled mischievously.

"You want to trick me?"

"This kind of strategy is far worse than Fujiko..."

…

At the same time, in a certain room in the palace, Duke Kilard stared seriously at the monitor screen.

Originally, Lupine III was planning to enter the treasure house so that he could lock the thief underground until everything was over.

But at the critical moment, Lupine III withstood the temptation of the treasure.

"snort……"

Kirad snorted coldly and ordered his men, "Sound the alarm in the palace whether he has entered or not."

"yes!"

The man pressed the red button, and a loud alarm sounded throughout the palace.

Throughout the palace, Conan, the Mori father and daughter, Princess Mira, Keith, the Zenigata Police Department, and Lupine III all heard the sound.

"Wha, what's the sound?!"

"Is it a fire? Or an air raid?"

Mouri Kogoro looked around cautiously, but Keith immediately explained: "This is the exclusive alarm in the palace basement."

"Maybe... Lupine?"

"Your Highness, there is no need to panic. Just leave matters outside to the guards."

Everyone in the room was relatively calm, but the sentries outside were in chaos and gathered towards the basement.

Lupine in the basement, after hearing the alarm, confirmed that it was indeed a trap, and someone was watching his every move through the monitor.

This person definitely cannot be Fujiko Mine.

And if my guess is correct, Fujiko Mine has already encountered something unexpected.

Although Fujiko Mine often betrayed her, Lupine III had a special feeling for this woman and could not let her fend for herself.

Let’s return to the ground first…

Lupine relied on his long legs to run to the basement exit first.

The guards from the two corridors were rushing over, and Lupine didn't panic at all. He jumped up and hooked the ceiling with his special claw hook.

When the guards below swarmed into the basement, Lupine jumped down cleanly.

At this time, the phone in Lupine's arms rang.

Picking up the phone, there was Daisuke Jigen's voice on the other side.

"Hey, what did you do? You triggered the alarm, and now the palace is surrounded by police cars!"

"Do you want me to fly the fighter jet and Goemon to support you?"

Lupine, who was in the tiger's den, was not in a hurry and said relaxedly: "No need, I have 'that' anyway, right?"

"And Fujiko Mine may encounter something unexpected. I want to stay here to figure out the situation."

Daisuke Jigen on the other side of the phone was speechless, "You, for that bad woman..."

Before Jigen could finish complaining, Lupine hung up the phone.

Now that most of the guards were moved to the basement, Lupine was able to move quickly within the palace and soon found Mouri Kogoro who was alone in the toilet.

"Hey, it's time to show your face~"

Mouri Kogoro was peeing happily.

He had a premonition that the case was about to be solved "by himself", but before that he had to go to the toilet.

Don't wait, if your "other personality" appears later and you are still holding urine in your bladder, causing embarrassment of peeing your pants, it won't look good.

Lupine was quite particular. He waited for Mouri Kogoro to release the pressure in his bladder before taking action to stun Moori Kogoro from behind.

He took out another blowpipe and bubble gum from his arms and started blowing bubbles.

The bubbles blew bigger and bigger until they burst, and the skin-like bubble gum on them just completely covered Moori Kogoro's head.

Then spray setting potion on it, and a human skin mask that perfectly replicates the face will appear.

As for the rest of the fur, it just needs some rough gluing...

In less than 5 minutes, Lupine made an exquisite human skin mask.

Lupine put on a mask and put on Mouri Kogoro's dark blue suit, leaving him with only shorts and a white vest.

This way, when someone discovers him, he will be embarrassed for a while...

She could still use his identity to cause trouble, which could be regarded as revenge for Fujiko.

Let him bully the woman I Lupine likes!

Lupine the Third finally avenged Fujiko Mine...
