Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 921 Skilled Thief

Gao Cheng followed Qian Xing into the palace treasure house.

The iron prison triggered by the alarm has been opened. Looking up from the strong vault, you can see the round holes that have been opened through several floors and go straight to the dome.

"It's Goemon's masterpiece." Police Officer Zenigata explained, he didn't seem surprised, but he wondered why Gao Cheng had an extra wooden knife in his hand.

Gao Cheng went to the upper room and touched the incision.

That iron-cutting sword is really powerful, and the person who uses the sword is also amazing, he is simply a monster.

Amazing swordsmanship and strength, if possible, I really want to learn from each other.

"Don't look," Uncle Qian Xing urged, "Everyone is going to gather at the Huxin Pavilion in the east room of the palace."

"what happened?"

Gao Cheng walked out of the palace following Uncle Qian Xing who seemed confident.

I don't know what the uncle's plan is, why does he feel like he is in control.

Judging from Lupine III's actions just now, he probably thought that Lupine would pretend to be someone in the palace, so most of the servants were evacuated before.

But Lupine doesn't seem to be that easy to deal with...

This is also good, just to solve the matter of Duke Gerrard, the bigger the trouble, the smaller the trouble, and it can be regarded as the fulfillment of the promise to that Princess Mira.

"Huh?" Uncle Qiangata still looked at Gao Cheng with some concern, "Does Detective Kido also learn kendo?"

"I learned to defend myself," Gao Cheng raised the wooden knife and said with a broken smile, "the police officer will not suspect that I am those people, will he?"

"No, no, no," Zenigata glanced at the wooden sword, shook his head and said, "Although Goemon is a master of swordsmanship, the Zhantie sword looks like a wooden sword before it is sheathed, but it is different from yours."

"Does the police officer know anything about that Zhantie sword?"

"I don't know, but it is said that there are very few things that can't be cut continuously."

"Oh?"

Gao Cheng subconsciously clenched the star broken tightly.

In Gintama, it is said that Yaodao Xingsha contains incredible power, and there are also rumors among cosmic civilizations, but it has never really appeared, and it was just used by TV commercials to fool people.

However, there is indeed an indestructible statement in the system introduction, and anything can be destroyed.

As far as he has used it for such a long time, it is a super wooden sword. The most notable thing is that it can enhance his perception with concentration and calmness, and it can also allow him to enter the world of Gintama to learn top swordsmanship.

……

At the lake pavilion in the east room of the palace, Keith brought everyone to the scene, subconsciously looking for Gao Cheng, but he didn't see anyone.

Then came Gerald with a few guards, and now almost the rest of the people were called over.

Because the surroundings of the palace were surrounded by police cars as soon as the alarm was triggered, Lupine and his gang are now trapped in the palace. According to Lupine's usual habits, they will probably pretend to be one of them.

This is the explanation of Uncle Qiangata, Robinson.

"No one knows Lupine better than I do."

Qian Xing confidently led Gao Cheng into the arena at the end, and immediately began to look around among the crowd, trying to find the lurking Lupine III.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation. Please come here for nothing else. The Queen's Crown was stolen from the palace vault just now. The criminal is Lupine III. The purpose of reducing the number of people in the palace as much as possible is to..."

Gao Cheng was also observing the crowd.

He has already privately dealt with the other snipers that Gerrard arranged for. The rest of the palace guards are all armed with cold weapons, so there is nothing to worry about. The reason why they waited for Officer Qian Xing to gather everyone together is also to eradicate the scourge. Eliminate all enemies.

Just like Gerrard's plan.

When Gerald didn't stop the investigation at all, he had the feeling that the Duke didn't rush to destroy the evidence, it wasn't carelessness, but he wanted to gather all the people who got in the way and deal with it.

Apart from the snipers elsewhere, this Huxin Pavilion seems to have other arrangements, and they were arranged secretly when Lupine III caused a commotion.

"Police Department," Gao Cheng interrupted Officer Qian Xing and said, "Can you let me solve this hunting accident case first?"

"Huh?" Qian Xing looked at Gao Cheng blankly.

Isn't coming to Vespania to save lives?When did you start investigating the case?

"About the murder of the queen and prince, and the criminal who wanted to kill Princess Mira..."

Gao Cheng stepped forward from the police officer Qian Xing, and his eyes fell on Duke Gerald.

"Prince Jill was aiming at the fox under the cherry blossom tree, accidentally killed Queen Sacra who wanted the fox to escape, rushed to the scene and grabbed Duke Gerald's pistol and committed suicide...

This is recorded in the accident file. Let’s not talk about why the Duke is carrying a pistol, and why Prince Jill snatched the Duke’s pistol and committed suicide. The strangest thing is that when Prince Jill committed suicide, he shot himself in the temple with his right hand, but In fact, Prince Gil is left-handed and is only required to use his right hand in public...”

Gerrard's face froze when he heard this, and he followed Princess Mira to the side.

"My brother is indeed left-handed," Princess Mira said quietly, "It's just that my brother has been taught since he was a child to use his right hand when eating, signing and signing..."

"That is to say, someone who didn't know this put the pistol in the wrong hand," Gao Cheng said, looking directly at Gerrard, "and the bolt-action rifle used in this hunting, whether it is right-handed or left-handed, can only Use it on the right side, you just saw this, right? Seeing that the prince keeps using his right hand, he thought the prince was right-handed.”

"Hmph, I thought you were going to say something." Gerald turned to Qian Xing calmly and said, "Your servant seems to think that I killed the prince. What's going on?"

"Did you change the shotgun?" Gao Cheng continued, "It was the Duke who shot the queen at the beginning, because the rifling could not be faked, so he switched his own shotgun with the prince's. That shotgun still has blanks in it,
In fact, it was the bullet prepared by the queen for the prince, and the royal guard has also recorded it in the archives..."

At a sniper spot near the Lake Heart Pavilion, Daisuke Jigen smoked a cigarette and looked at several snipers who fell to the ground in a mess, and said to Goemon on the side: "It seems that someone is one step ahead of us, who could it be?"

Goemon embraced Zantiejian and glanced at the several bullet fragments on the ground.

"Master..."

"Nonsense, of course I know I'm a master," Jigen Daisuke exhaled smoke, and looked in the direction of Huxinting, "There seems to be a result over there."

"As expected of a detective," Gerald said with a smile on his face without waiting for the sniper to move, "well done."

Keith frowned, and shouted outside: "Guards!"

"It's useless, Keith, there are no guards in the palace who will listen to your orders!" Gerald said calmly, "I'll give you one last chance to expand the territory of Vespania with me. The title, in fact, is just to show the royal family a child, do you really like this?"

Seeing that Keith didn't respond, Gerald pulled Keith's subordinate Garyl behind him and said, "Are you willing to take such a rare opportunity? A man should look at the world and do one or two big things! That's for the sake of the people." , now Wispania is about to get that power..."

Keith silently walked to Princess Mira and stood in front of her.

"Our Stinga family has served the royal family for 200 years, and the blood that flows in my body will be dedicated to the royal family of Vespania until the last drop."

"Is that so, what a pity."

Gerald's face turned cold, and he took out the bomb button in his hand.

"In the pillar in the middle of the pavilion, I have prepared a small gift for you, so that you can go hand in hand to meet the queen, Keith, let me help you realize your wish..."

"At this distance, you will also be involved in the explosion."

Gao Cheng didn't know when he appeared next to Gerald, and when Gerald reacted, the bomb button had inexplicably appeared on Gao Cheng's hand.

"I don't know what to say about you," Gao Cheng shook his head at the staring Gerrard, "Even if there is Vespagna ore, a small country is always a small country, and excess ambition will only bring great harm to this country. What this country needs is nature and peace."

Putting away the bomb button, Gao Cheng turned to Qi Si and said, "I'll leave it to you to protect your queen."

"Female, queen?"

Princess Mira regained her senses and pointed at herself. The next moment, Keith and the guards were already fighting.

There were very few guards left in the palace. Although they obeyed Gerald's order, they were of no use. They were restrained by the crowd in just one round, and Gerald was also arrested.

Catch it all in one go.

Gao Cheng took a special look at Keith.

Fortunately, this guy is on the side of the princess, otherwise the commission fee would be troublesome.

Speaking of commission fees...

No, his main task this time is to save Xiaolan and Conan, and to help police officer Qian Xing catch Lupine III.

Where is Lupine?
……

"what?"

The scene where the queen was killed was near the beautiful cherry tree again. This time Conan was led by Gao Cheng to see the smiling Lupine III again. He was shocked and said, "Let them send me back?"

"Otherwise? You have entered the country illegally, so you can't go back just like this?" Gao Cheng said sullenly.

There was nothing he could do anyway.

"Okay, little boy," Lupine III said with a smile, "when the time comes, obediently go with big sister, she seems to be very interested in you, and will send you back to Japan."

He was almost playing with the turmoil in the palace, and he witnessed a wonderful duel with his own eyes.

The current detective is really good, and he can be regarded as being obedient to Gao Cheng. He feels like a kindred spirit, and it's okay to do a little favor.

"Uh..." Conan shuddered unnaturally.

Lupine III and Fujiko Mine, who had not had time to leave the palace after stealing the crown, disguised themselves as chefs and maids in the lake pavilion, and even helped to deal with the guards, but the sudden change ruined Uncle Zenigata's plan. In the end, he failed to catch Lupine.

"Hey," Conan's mouth twitched, and he looked at Gao Chengdao speechlessly, "Is it okay to hide from Police Officer Qian Xing? Are you his assistant now?"

"It was Mira who asked me to send you back to Japan..."

Gao Cheng looked at Princess Mira standing under the cherry blossom tree. Lupine went over and put the queen's crown on the girl's head with his own hands.

I heard that Lupine also stole the crown many years ago. At that time, Queen Sacra was not the queen. Sacra was similar to the current Princess Mira. It was also under this cherry tree that Lupine put the crown on Sacra. .

It's really about the same virtue as Kidd...

Gao Cheng looked around again, but unfortunately he didn't see the samurai.

But since we met, there must be another chance in the future.

After a pause, Gao Cheng withdrew his gaze and turned to leave, "It's almost time for us to leave. I already told Xiaolan to send you back to Japan first..."

"Detective Kido!" Mira returned to the hillside wearing the crown, and called Gao Chengdao, "Aren't you going to attend the coronation ceremony?"

"No need," Gao Cheng gently waved his hands, "I will wait for news in Japan, and hope you can become a qualified queen."

"Thank you."

Mira watched Gao Cheng take Conan away with Lupine III and others.

This time with Vespagna and his party, Gao Cheng's mission was basically completed, and by the way, he also made a fortune.

It's really just side money, and he's not short of money now.

On the other hand, the system can be said to have a bumper harvest, and it actually drew 3 cards at once, a thief card, a long-range sniper card, and a blank camouflage card.

"Thief" has been upgraded to the proficient level, and "Long-range Sniper" has been upgraded to the proficient level...

Inexplicably subtle.
