Chapter 237

"Are you saying that you are leaving now? But you are the guests of Her Majesty the Queen, I..." Aidan said hesitantly. If they were ordinary guests, it wouldn't be a big deal to want to leave, but these two people were not ordinary...

Although I am a victim like Her Majesty the Queen, but...

"No, Sister Aidan, we are not leaving without saying goodbye, but we would like to trouble you to help talk to Her Majesty Queen Fu...Lamia about our..."

"What else do you want to say? Is there anything I can help you with?" A cheerful male voice came from their right side.

"Your Highness Norn, Your Highness Gabriel." Aidan bowed respectfully and stepped back to leave room for the few people to talk.

"Hello, may I ask..."

"Oh, look at all this, it's all my fault." The middle-aged man walking in front slapped his forehead and said in annoyance, "Oh my god, I forgot to introduce myself. It's really wrong."

"I am Norn, Lamia's uncle, and this is my son Gabriel."

"Hello, I... I'm Mouri Ran, and this is Kudo Shinichi." Seeing that Shinichi still looked like he didn't know what he was thinking, Mouri Ran, who originally wanted to ask him for help, had to do it herself.

She really wanted to be like Sister Aidan who had taken care of her just now, but she really didn't understand the rules here and didn't know how to address the other party as a guest.

For a moment, Mao Lilan was also very nervous.

The Norns were experienced and could see Maori Ran's current condition at a glance.

"Lamia is the only child my sister has left. You have helped me a lot." As he said this, Norn glanced at Kudo Shinichi, but seeing that the other party looked thoughtful, he had an idea in his mind.

"When I came here just now, I heard that you were about to leave. May I ask why?"

"Ah! This..." Mao Lilan was speechless for a while facing Norn and the others.

"I have relatives outside, and I want to stay with them." Mao Lilan said in a low voice.

"Is that so? Then I'll send someone to invite your family over as well. What do you think?"

"No, no." Mao Lilan waved her hands quickly and looked at Kudo Shinichi beside her with a conflicted look on her face.

Fortunately, after such a long time, Kudo Shinichi's thoughts have returned to normal. "Don't bother, we have other things to do."

"Yes." Mao Lilan answered with a blush.

"We came to London only because of the school holidays and a kind lady invited us. We can't... we can't stay here for long..."

Mao Lilan explained in a low voice.

Actually, it wasn't necessary for her to leave, but she hadn't seen Kudo Shinichi for a long time, and Shinichi had said before that he wanted to go out and play with her on this trip.

Although they are all things related to Sherlock Holmes, but...but, as long as I am with Shinichi, these are not things worth worrying about, right?

"I'm so sorry, so that's how it is!" Noen said with some regret, and looked at Kudo Shinichi meaningfully.

"Yes, according to the plan, we will leave tomorrow afternoon, but we still have a lot of plans to complete, so I'm really sorry."

Although the people in front of him were very kind, Kudo Shinichi subconsciously wanted to stay away from these two people.

Besides, he really couldn't stay here any longer.

"In that case, I will accompany you to look for Lamia. I believe she is dealing with the official business that piled up yesterday. If it is not something very important, you will not be able to see her for a while."

"Excuse me..."

Norn led the two of them towards the office area in front. Along the way, the prince named Gabriel did not speak at all. Kudo Shinichi put all his focus on Norn and ignored the other party's inquiring gaze.

Seeing the guards patrolling around, Kudo Shinichi was once again glad that he did not make a rash decision but chose to leave.

Looking at the strict patrols around, he really didn't know how to explain to others if he turned into a child here, how "Kudo Shinichi" left the palace when no one noticed, and how "Edogawa Conan" sneaked into the palace without anyone noticing.

Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi broke out in cold sweat...

"I acknowledge the results of your efforts, and this should be rewarded."

"This is……"

Mao Lilan was surprised. To be honest, she had never seen Sister Finina like this before. Could this be the true demeanor of Her Majesty Queen Lamia?

Mao Lilan thought about it in her mind but didn't dare to ask directly.

"Your Highness Queen Fu... Lamia, Shinichi and I want to leave." It was the first time that Mouri Ran dealt with such a big shot, and she was really worried that she was not doing well enough and might get into trouble.

Originally, she wanted to exchange a few words with Furninda, but after looking at Norn standing aside, Mao Lilan gave up the idea.

"Hey! Hey? What did you say?" Funina thought she had misheard.

"Ran just said that we want to leave here." Kudo Shinichi repeated, "Because the uncle, the doctor, and Conan are all outside, and... Queen Lamia, you know, I promised that kid that I would help him decipher the code, but I still have no clue, so..."

"is it?"

Funina asked back, but before anyone else could answer, "Brother, do you have anything to do these days? If you have time, can you take my place and accompany the friend I just met?"

"...Of course, I'd love to."

Gabriel glanced at his father implicitly, seeing that the other party did not allow him to refuse.

Moreover, he felt that Lamia didn't seem to have any hidden intentions, so he agreed.

After getting Funina's permission, Kudo Shinichi was worried that some unexpected situations might occur later, so he hurriedly pulled Mouri Ran away.

"Lamia, I still have some things to do, so I'll leave first." Norn didn't expect that what he wanted to do could be accomplished so easily.

Norn, who was almost overwhelmed by joy, tried hard to suppress his inner excitement.

Looking at everyone leaving, Funina no longer had the same expression as before.

Soon, everyone else in the room also left with their belongings.

"Ms. Funina, to be honest, I don't agree with the decision you've made now."

A familiar voice sounded, and Villette walked out of the house.

"Even if I don't tell you, you should be able to see the ill will those people have towards you..."

"I know." Furniture interrupted Violet.

"To be honest, after that incident, I never wanted to "play" anyone again. Moreover, although I am considered a young person compared to you, but... asking a person over 500 years old to pretend to be a girl in her twenties... this is too challenging for me."

Furninna strongly disagreed with Violet's point of view.

Funina had an idea of ​​what she was going to say next.

"..."

"Let's not talk about this. You also felt it, right? What a pity that I didn't see the 'Traveler'..."

"No, Ms. Funina, I think you and the 'traveler' have already had contact without your knowledge."

Navilette objected, "Before I went to look for you last night, someone called the police and reported that you were kidnapped..."

"So that's how it is... What a pity that I didn't get to meet him."

"By the way, what about Violet?" Furninna turned and looked into the other's eyes. "How is my plan going now?"

Finally, there is a chance to get rid of her current identity. Funina has been looking forward to it for a long time.

If she had not been discovered by Lamia’s uncle when she came here, she would not have to "play" Lamia now.

"Ms. Fininna, do you really think your plan will be implemented as planned?" Villette frowned, not quite convinced.

"I can't guarantee other things, but for these things, Mr. Villette, you should still have confidence in me."

Finina smiled with her eyes curved. "Besides, this is not just my plan. Whether it's the Norns who want to take the throne, or my uncle who feels that he has stabilized now, or the external forces involved in the change of royal power... none of them want me to stay in this position. The only difference is that they will take action sooner or later."

"...Ms. Furninna, you know that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about your safety."

"I won't die here." Furninna said firmly, "I will protect myself, and I believe that you and Mr. Leosley will protect me too, right?"

"You're right. I really won't watch you get hurt."

"Let us add some fuel to the fire..."

……

"Damn it, Dad, why hasn't he answered the phone yet!" Mao Lilan hung up the phone angrily. Although she told her father several times before she left not to drink too much and to take care of his health, it seemed that he didn't take her words to heart at all.

Mao Lilan was very angry, but the two of them were so far apart that she couldn't do anything no matter what she wanted to do.

"Oh, Shinichi, we are going there now...Um, His Highness Gabriel, I'm sorry, um..."

"It's okay, just call me Gabriel. Don't use such a strange name as Your Highness. Can I call you Xiaolan?"

The other party's attitude was very gentle.

Kudo Shinichi's radar sounded instantly. He pulled Mouri Ran to the other side and looked at her with some vigilance.

Although there is no evidence, Kudo Shinichi suspects that the other party wants to do something bad to his beautiful Xiaolan.

"Sorry, I just think it will seem closer this way. If you're not used to it, I'll pay attention to it." Gabriel said that he had no other thoughts about Mao Lilan, he just simply wanted to get closer to her.

Only then did Kudo Shinichi feel relieved.

"I want to ask the doctor...what did the doctor and Conan discover?"

"Doctor?" Gabriel was a little confused. Was this referring to someone?

"Dr. Agasa is Shinichi's neighbor, and he's a great inventor."

"It turned out to be him." Gabriel quickly identified the person, and thinking that the other party's identity was not part of his father's plan, Gabriel did not take it to heart.

"Really? Judging from your looks, you must be an excellent scientist!" Although Gabriel didn't think much of that doctor, he still praised him a few words.

"Of course." Mao Lilan has never been stingy in praising others who are better than herself, even though His Highness Gabriel is a member of the royal family and his status is very different from hers.

At first, Mao Lilan was worried that it might be difficult to get along with each other, but she didn't expect the other party's attitude to be so unusually humble.

Seeing Shinichi immersed in the world of thinking about secret codes, Mao Lilan didn't want him to feel ignored, so she used the topic of Professor Agasa to continue the conversation.

But unexpectedly, the two of them got along very well and there were no dull moments along the way.

Kudo Shinichi did feel a little uncomfortable, but this was not an ordinary time, so he ignored it for the time being.

Return to the previous hotel.

"Really? Why did Conan fall asleep at this time?" Mouri Ran had already thought about how to explain to Conan when she got back, but she didn't expect that he actually fell asleep.

"Ahem, there's nothing we can do about it." Dr. Agasa said quietly as he closed the door. "Conan woke up yesterday afternoon and found that we were not there, and his phone was out of battery."

"He wanted to wait for us to come back, so he just sat on the bed, but his condition got worse, so he completely forgot to charge his phone and waited until I came back."

Dr. Agasa said with a distressed look on his face, "I took Conan to eat something and found some medicine for him."

Hearing this, Mao Lilan felt very distressed. She didn't expect that Conan who stayed in the hotel would also... If she had known earlier, she would have sent Conan to his father. Although her father didn't know anything after drinking, if Conan was there...

If Conan was here, Dad wouldn't have drunk so much and still wouldn't have woken up; Conan wouldn't have had to wait for them to come back for an entire night...

"Then let's..."

"Let's take a rest for a few hours and go out to look for clues in the evening. I just had some ideas on the way and I plan to find a place to sort them out. Besides... Conan's condition is really worrying."

This was the first time that Kudo Shinichi expressed his concern about Conan's health, which made Mouri Ran feel a little worried.

Shinichi has never said such a thing before. Is Conan's problem really serious?

"Xiao Lan, don't think too much. I just want to sort out my thoughts. If I can't find the untangled thread in the mess, no matter how many things I do, it will be in vain."
