Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 635 Xiaolan takes orders in danger

After Xiaolan walked back to the hotel, she never thought that such a thing would happen at the wine party. After listening to the descriptions of the others, she instantly became depressed, and even her interest in playing the princess was diminished.

Mouri Kogoro couldn't tell his daughter apart for a while, which made the atmosphere a bit delicate.

Xiaolan stood next to the exquisite wallpaper, which was a pattern depicting an oriental garden. Her figure blended into it, seeming to have an elegance that did not belong to this world. She frowned displeased and said to her father, "Why can't you even recognize your own daughter?" There was a hint of joking and a hint of real dissatisfaction in her tone.

Kogoro stood under the crystal chandelier in the center of the room, the light flickering on his messy hair. He seemed a little embarrassed. He stretched out his hand, trying to confirm that the person in front of him was indeed Xiaolan, but she dodged it. Xiaolan gently patted away his hand that wanted to make a fool of himself, "Don't go too far."

Kogoro did not give up. He circled around Xiaolan, looking at her like a magnifying glass. Finally, he stopped on the soft carpet and nodded, "It seems like it's really Xiaolan..." There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice, as if he was still confirming himself.

Kogoro knew in his heart that although his daughter looked strikingly similar to Princess Mira, Mira's temperament was like the stars hanging in the sky, out of reach, while Xiaolan's affinity and warmth were all too familiar. He sighed and said, half jokingly and half seriously, "But she is still a bit silly. A real princess should be smarter than you..."

Xiaolan patted the skirt of her body dissatisfiedly, and the delicate lace on the skirt swayed slightly with the movement, "What? If daddy says that to me again, I will be angry..." A naughty light flashed in her eyes , but was quickly replaced by a hint of worry.

Officer Megure sat nervously on the luxurious armchair in the room, and finally coughed and cleared his throat, "Princess Mira said she would come back after the dinner, right?"

Although the princess escaped on her own, if there was any danger in this country, it would easily trigger an international dispute. If it were pursued, it would be difficult for Officer Megure to handle it, so the whereabouts of the princess had to be confirmed as soon as possible.

"Well, that's what Princess Mira told me at the time."

Conan sat in the corner of the room with an open hotel guest book on his lap. He closed the information book, his eyes clearly reflecting the expressions of everyone in the room, then turned to Officer Megu, and stood up slowly, "Sorry, when I arrived, there was only Sister Xiaolan over there, and I didn't see Mi Princess La, in addition, Princess Mila replaced Sister Xiaolan’s mobile phone..."

Speaking of which, there is another doubtful point. He went to the park with Fujiwara at that time, but the guy has not come back yet, and he has not answered his phone calls.

A trace of worry flashed across Officer Megure's face, and he turned to the window. The night breeze blew the curtains lightly, bringing a hint of coolness to the room. "Is the phone in Princess Mila's hand Xiaolan's? Why don't you try making a call?" There was a hint of hope in his voice.

Conan shook his head slightly. He walked to the coffee table in the center of the room, picked up the remote control and adjusted the lights in the room at will. "It's useless...the phone is turned off and can't be connected." His expression became serious.

Officer Megure took a deep breath, knowing the seriousness of this matter. Mira's disappearance may trigger a diplomatic turmoil, and as a police officer, he has a heavy responsibility.

"Let's see. Waiting like this is not an option. I plan to start the search for the princess again." "It's not necessary, is it?" Butler Keith came out of the bathroom and wiped his hands with a handkerchief before continuing. , "I'm not sure who you are looking for, but the reporters are already ready downstairs. The princess will go to the press conference with me tomorrow morning to briefly explain the situation." He said, looking at Xiaolan's mysterious expression. smile.

As long as they don't say anything, who can find out that the princess in this room is not a real princess.

The butler's words sent a chill down the spine of everyone present. Kogoro's anger almost overwhelmed his reason, but the timely stoppage of Megure and Officer Takagi prevented the situation from getting out of control. In this small hotel room, everyone's movements and expressions were like a carefully choreographed drama.

Butler Keith's words are chilling. Hidden behind these words is a portent that may trigger an international crisis. The atmosphere in the hotel room was tense. The golden wall lamp casts on their faces, elongating each person's shadow, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

"Suppose that the princess does not come back, and the person who snatched her away is from this country," Butler Keith continued his hypothesis, "What do you think the emergency committee of the Kingdom of Vespania thinks? The country cannot be without a king for a day. , the Legislative Committee will immediately appoint a royal prince to succeed him to stabilize the domestic situation. What do you think that prince will think? How will the relationship between the two countries change? Will they go to war with you in the name of accountability..."

Kogoro rushed over, and almost before the butler finished speaking, his movements were fast and violent, but he was quickly stopped by Megure and Officer Takagi. They all know that any irrational behavior may lead to irreparable consequences.

"What kind of tricks do you want to play?" Kogoro's voice was filled with suppressed anger, but under Megure's dissuasion, he could only suppress his emotions temporarily.

"Please calm down, brother Maori." Officer Megure's voice was steady and strong. He turned to Butler Keith, "Mr. Butler, you mean... we should cooperate with you and let a fake princess appear at the press conference?"

The butler nodded expressionlessly, his eyes firm and calm, like an emotionless rock.

The air in the room seemed to freeze as everyone pondered the consequences of this proposal. Xiaolan stood aside, looking from the housekeeper to Officer Memu, worry written on her face. Her thoughts were complicated. She knew that she was just a bystander, but she also knew the weight of this decision.

Time passes slowly in this room, the press conference outside is about to begin, and everyone must make a choice. Officer Megure finally nodded, knowing that sometimes sacrifices must be made for greater peace and stability.

"Okay, we will cooperate with your plan. However, I require you to give us complete intelligence. I will not allow any unauthorized actions, and everything must be monitored by us."

Butler Keith smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated this answer. "Of course, Mr. Megure, I guarantee you will know everything."
