Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 172
Under the negotiation and compromise of the Russian embassy, ​​the Japanese police did not disclose the final investigation results of the Shi Kaobing case to the public. In the end, they only informed Kogoro Mori, the Ishino family, Qinglan Pusi and others about part of the information.

When he learned that Shi Kaobing was killed, but did not find any clues about Ootengu and Kaitou Kidd, Conan couldn't help frowning, still unable to figure out how the other party escaped under such circumstances.

However, since the Interpol was dispatched and the Interpol failed to find relevant clues, he obviously had no way to start. All he could think of was to ask Dr. Ali to investigate the relevant information of Shi Kaobing to see if he could find anything related to the other party. The vengeful mysterious criminal...

On the other hand, Pusi Qinglan, who was temporarily staying at the hotel, after receiving the investigation report from the police, quietly logged on to the Interpol website, confirmed that her arrest warrant had indeed been removed, and closed the page with satisfaction. .

Just when she packed her luggage and was about to leave the hotel, the door of the room was knocked suddenly, and a young male waiter's voice came from outside the door: "Hello, guest, someone came to our hotel lobby just now, saying that there is something to hand over. Here it is, is it convenient for you to receive it?"

Hearing what the waiter said, Qinglan quickly recalled the previous agreement with Ishino and the others in her mind, remembering that the other party seemed to have reminded herself that someone would send something over after returning to Tokyo, and asked her to take it there for him. Then he responded aloud: "Okay, then please put it at the door, I will take it myself."

"I'm sorry, the gentleman who delivered the things said that they must be delivered directly to you, so please open the door and come and get them." The young waiter at the door replied in a somewhat embarrassed tone.

Qinglan frowned slightly when she heard the words, walked to the door quietly, leaned her ear against the door to listen to the movement outside, and then glanced at the situation outside through the cat's eyes, and confirmed that only one of them was holding a small handbag, immature The young waiter, who showed a bit of perplexity on his face, responded with a little relief: "Okay, please wait a moment."

After reconfirming that there is nothing in the room that cannot be seen by outsiders, Qinglan opened the door, took the handbag from the waiter with a smile and said: "I have received the things, thank you for your hard work."

After she finished speaking, she retreated to the room, and was about to close the door, but the person outside the door suddenly blocked the door with her hand, and interrupted: "Why, sister, don't you invite me in to sit?"

Hearing the other party's provocative words, Qing Lan looked at the other party nervously, and saw a playful smile on the corner of the young waiter's mouth, and at some point there was an extra green orchid in his hand, and he waved his wrist directly Throw it in her direction.

Seeing the flower branch flying towards her face, Qinglan instinctively turned her head to avoid the attack, and clamped the flower with her fingers, and saw a card between the branches and leaves, which showed that it was Kaitou Kidd The customary Q version villain pattern.

Knowing the other party's identity, Qing Lan glared at the young man angrily, and gestured him to come in with her fingers, then turned around and went back to the chair in the room and sat down.

After yesterday's incident, she had already guessed that Kaitou Kidd was the helper of Ishino and the others. The reason why she appeared in the castle to perform such a play was naturally to help her get rid of the identity of Shi Kaobing and end the Interpol's treatment of her. wanted.

Seeing this, Kaito smiled slightly, walked straight into the room and closed the door, walked to the chair opposite Qinglan and sat down, smiled and said: "Sister, you are Shi Kaobing, I almost became you the night before yesterday The soul of the gun is dead, it is really a good marksmanship."

Qinglan's expression was slightly stagnant when she heard the words, and then she bowed her head with shame and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was deceived by the people in the organization at that time, and I followed their instructions to kill the Kaitou Kidd while snatching the egg of memory, so... ..."

Speaking of which, Qinglan raised her head, looked at the young face in front of her who didn't look like she had put on a disguise, and said with a smile: "But I didn't expect Kaitou Kidd to be so young, you are also very powerful, and even escaped me A blow of confidence."

"Okay, since you have apologized to me, sister, then I will let it go." Kaito waved his hands proudly, "Actually, it wasn't me you shot, but my substitute balloon! If it wasn't for brother-in-law Inform me that there is danger, I am afraid I will be hit by you!"

"Brother-in-law?" Qinglan was taken aback when she heard the words, and then recalled Ishino's playful expression when he mentioned Kaito Kidd, and suddenly said, "You mean Mr. Ishino? So you are Miss Natsumi's younger brother? But I I heard that she is an only child."

"Miss Xia Mei is my cousin. I heard from my brother-in-law that you are also Miss Xia Mei's distant cousin. So you are also my cousin, although the relationship is a little distant, hahaha." Kaidou explained with a smile.

"I see. No wonder you made a sudden move this time to snatch the egg of memory. Presumably, you and Mr. Ishino designed a performance to lure the enemies who covet the egg of memory out of the water?" Qinglan thought of the other party and Xia Mei The relationship between them is inferred from this.

"Haha, that's it. Although my sister really surprised me by your appearance, fortunately, everything is OK in the end!" Kaito was embarrassed for a second when he heard this, and then successfully concealed his guilt with a hearty smile.

Naturally, he would not tell the other party that he was actually suddenly told by his mother Chikage Kuroba about the relationship between his family and the Kosaka family, and learned about Kiichi Kosaka and Princess Maria, so he suddenly wanted to steal the egg of memory Give it back to my cousin.

However, judging from the subsequent development, Ishino obviously knew his action plan, and he might not have been used as a tool by his mother and brother-in-law again.

Feeling like a monkey grandson who could never escape the palm of the Buddha, Kuaidou sighed helplessly in his heart, thinking that he should accept his fate, the more he resisted, the worse he would be trapped, why bother?

Qing Lan didn't know what Kaidou was going through at the moment, she nodded after listening to the other party's words, and said with a solemn expression of gratitude: "Anyway, it's my sister this time, I want to thank you for helping me and helping me relieve the arrest from Interpol. Threat, in the future, if you need my sister's help, just say it."

Hearing the other party's words, Kuai Dou rolled his eyes, looked at the other party seriously and asked, "Sister Qinglan, does the organization that controls you specialize in collecting all kinds of gemstones around the world?"

Seeing that the other party put away the previous cynical attitude, Qing Lan also replied with a serious look: "Yes, do you mean that you have enmity with them and that's why you were designated by the organization to hunt down and kill them?"
