The Necromancer in American Comics

Chapter 129 Transition Chapter 5
Five p.m.

Because it was winter, the sun was about to set at this time, and the light of dusk began to envelope the world.

At this time, Mao Li and his party went to a location in the palace according to the instructions of the police officer Qian Xing because the national treasure, the Queen's Crown, was stolen.

"I don't know where Mr. Colin went."

On the road, Xiaolan said something worried.

They hadn't seen each other since Colin ran out in the queen's room.

And the father who had been clamoring to find Mr. Ke Lin suddenly kept silent after going to the bathroom once, and only started the investigation again after she reminded him.

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaolan, didn't Police Officer Qian Xing say to gather everyone together, and you can see Uncle Ke Lin at the agreed place." Conan looked at Xiaolan who was a little worried, and smiled Said.

As for Colin's 'disappearance', he was the one who cared the most.

Although after a period of calm thinking and inquiries to the doctor and others over the phone, he confirmed that Colin was not a member of the dark organization, and he basically did not have any malice towards him, but he still had great feelings for Colin. wary.

This is also a matter of course. After all, his details have been seen through. If Colin is hostile, there is no need to do anything else. As long as his true identity is publicized, it will put him and everyone who knows his identity in danger. .

He needs to use more words and actions to confirm that Colin is harmless, and to prepare for the various situations that may arise if something goes wrong.

He was thinking about all these, and roughly had a few ideas.

As a result, before he could find Ke Lin to test him, he suddenly disappeared. For a while, he couldn't help feeling a little ups and downs in his heart.

"That's right, Conan."

Listening to Conan's comfort, Xiaolan rubbed Conan's head, and she seemed to relax a lot.

After walking for a while again, the group came to the location they were told, a gazebo.

"Mr. Colin is not here."

Xiaolan looked around and frowned slightly.

The gazebo is very big, except for the wide pillar in the middle of the gazebo, there are more than a dozen people standing in the rest of the place without being crowded.

The people in the palace were basically here at this time, Princess Mira, Earl Keith, the attendants in the palace, and some guards around, but Colin was nowhere to be seen.

Conan and Maori also looked at each other, listening to Xiaolan's words, they behaved differently.

For Conan, it is expected that Colin will not be seen here. Although he is still very concerned, he is also ready to put aside the continued investigation of Colin for the time being. After the truth of the Queen's killing is resolved, It's not too late to investigate again.

As for Maori, no, it should be said that he knocked out the real Maori Kogoro in the bathroom and pretended to be him as Lupine III, an X factor that has the ability to affect this result suddenly disappeared at this time, but There was no way to relax.

Time passed while everyone had different thoughts, and they didn't have to wait for long. Soon, Duke Gerald came here with several guards and the police officer Qian Xing who initiated the call.

"Cough! Everyone is called this time..."

To be polite, Officer Qian Xing began to explain the reason for calling the personnel. On the other hand, Conan also turned over and came to the back of the gazebo. He raised the anesthesia watch that re-inserted the anesthesia needle, and pointed it at Maori's neck.

It's not too late to listen to the reason or something later. It's better to solve the matter of the queen's killing now. Only in this way can he concentrate... How come!
The anesthesia needle shot did not make Mao Li fall asleep as in the past, but was accidentally dodged and shot at the police officer Qian Xing who was telling the story.

Slightly stunned for a moment, watching Police Officer Qian Xing faintly sitting on the gazebo, Conan adjusted the voice of the butterfly voice changer, preparing to bite the bullet and use Officer Qian Xing as a cover this time.

"What's the matter with you?"

In the gazebo, a strong man who was the captain of the royal family's security saw the police officer Qian Xing who was talking about suddenly sitting unsteadily on the ground, and asked a little warily.

"...It's nothing, I mean, the murderer who killed the queen and the prince, and wanted to kill Princess Mira, is among you..."

The topic suddenly changed from Lupine III's theft of national treasures to the queen's murder.

The scene was also slightly turbulent, and several maids who knew about it and Earl Keith looked over in surprise.

"What's going on, Dad?" Xiaolan asked Maori in surprise.

"Ah! This~~" Mao Li, who was pretending to be Lupine III, hesitated to answer. Although he did a general survey of Mao Li and his party, after all, the time was too short, and he understood the general information. More specifically, it was Not sure.

"Is he the one investigating?"

"No, it should be Miss Lan's father and that boy."

There were also whispers from the maid's side.

Conan, who heard it from the side, grinned and continued: "The cause of everything is that shotgun..."

"Ah, why am I so sleepy all of a sudden..."

Qian Xing, who was drowsy from the anesthesia injection, stretched suddenly and muttered.

When Conan, who was hiding behind the gazebo, heard the voice, he was shocked and looked over in disbelief.

The amount of anesthetic on the anesthesia needle can make an elephant fall into a deep sleep for 10 minutes, but he woke up so quickly. Is this guy really human?
No, now is not the time to think about it, the anesthesia has failed, what to do next to...

"Ahem! Uncle, ah no, Officer Qian Xing was right. It was not an accident, but a murder disguised as an accident!"

When everyone was stunned, Lupine III, disguised as Mori Kogoro, coughed twice, stepped forward and said.

Conan was slightly stunned, and looked with the probe, but saw Mao Li holding a special camera in his hand behind his back.

And this one was owned by the monkey-faced thief we met when we were investigating with Ji Yuan. He will disguise himself as Uncle Maori at this time, so he is the thief Lupine III?
The slightly surprised eyes met Lupine III's eyes for a moment, and the next second, the two people who had a tacit understanding began to cooperate.

……

At the gazebo, the reasoning show between Conan and Lupine III continued.

On a bridge not too far from the gazebo, looking at the palace guards who had been knocked unconscious and piled up like a mountain of meat, Colin, who had been hiding all this time, took a light step forward.

The leather shoes landed on the concrete floor with a soft click.

Daisuke Jigen and Goemon, who had just cleaned up the guards, turned their heads at the same time, one took out the gun, and the other put his hand on the handle of the knife.

Ke Lin raised his head slightly, looked at the two overreacting, and laughed heartily.

　The New Year's Eve is here, and there are many things at home and outside. As usual, there is only one chapter today. When it calms down, I will resume normal updates.

　　Also, because everyone doesn't like this passage, I omitted a lot of plots. Some parts seem a bit rushed. I try to explain everything clearly so that people don't understand.
