Lupine the Third and Daisuke Jigen were sitting on the grass, holding each other's collars, their raised fists hanging in the air.

"Why is it you?"×2

Both of them were extremely shocked by each other's identity, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

Daisuke Jigen didn't expect that the person who attacked him while he was drunk was Lupine the Third.

Lupine the Third also didn't expect that the "dad" that kid called him was Daisuke Jigen.

"What the hell is going on? Explain it to me clearly!"

Daisuke Jigen roared towards the sky.

…

With an apologetic smile on Lupine III's face, the matter finally became clear.

"In other words, you tracked the kid next to that mysterious man and found me in the bar?"

Lupine III rubbed his hands and nodded sheepishly, "Yes, yes..."

Jigen Daisuke endured the pain of being beaten on the head by Lupine III and asked: "But I brought that kid out of the palace. He has been staying in the palace since yesterday..."

"You said that kid is with a mysterious man. Could it be possible that the kid can also master the art of cloning?"

There was a trace of surprise in Lupine III's eyes, and he immediately passed the blame to Fujiko Mine next to him.

"This information was told to me by Fujiko..."

When Daisuke Jigen saw Fujiko Mine, his face was full of helplessness, and he complained in a low voice: "I knew that nothing good would happen if I met this woman..."

Fujiko Mine, as an intelligence provider, created a lot of trouble for Lupine's team.

Daisuke Jigen and Goemon both had a headache for this woman, and even hated it, but Lupine the Third had an inexplicable "bond" with this woman, and there was nothing they could do.

Fujiko Mine also looked innocent and spread her hands, "I don't know. The man on the plane must have been with that kid..."

"That's even more wrong. That brat came on a royal plane with the Vespagna envoy. How could he be on a plane you defrauded from who knows where?"

Jigen Daisuke's expression suddenly dawned on him, he pointed at Fujiko Mine's nose and said: "This must be your way of dividing us!"

"I thought I saw you holding a baseball bat in your hand just now! Are you planning to kill Lupine and me?"

After being reminded like this, Lupine III also remembered that Mine Fujiko was very dishonest just now and seemed to want to sneak attack him from behind.

Lupine III had a dark face and pressed towards the woman, "Fujiko, is this true?"

"Um--?"

The two people's targets suddenly turned to Mine Fujiko, who could only forcefully explain with a smile: "Hey, why are you all blaming me, a weak woman, for your civil strife..."

"Don't bring this kind of thing~"

"Yamei——!"

While the three of them were entangled, Mira walked back from the path leading to the hill and looked at the three of them with a puzzled expression.

"What are you doing?"

The three of them turned their heads at the same time and realized that Mira was back.

There was a trace of tears on the pretty little girl's face, and there was a blush around her eyelids. It seemed that she had cried hard just now.

As if seeing a savior, Fujiko Mine escaped from the double attack by Lupine III and Daisuke Jigen and hid behind Mira.

"These two bad men want to bully me, my long-legged sister~"

When Mira heard this, she pinched her waist angrily, "Really? In the name of Princess Vespania, I order you to stop your rude behavior immediately!"

This made Lupine the Third and Daisuke Jigen helpless, and the villain Fujiko Mine complained first.

But the two of them have gotten used to it.

However, when Daisuke Jigen saw Mira, he knew that this must be the real princess, and his face was a little surprised.

"Lupine, why is the princess here with you?"

Before Lupine could tell the answer, Daisuke Jigen remembered what Keith had said that he hired a professional to protect the princess.

When the princess was in Japan the day before yesterday, she and Lupine were still stealing ore from the mine, so it was impossible for Keith to hire Lupine.

So that means...the professional hired by Chis is actually Fujiko Mine.

"Eh……"

After thinking clearly about the logic behind this, Daisuke Jigen slapped his forehead helplessly and sighed sincerely.

What a sin...

…

The three of them discussed it and decided to follow the agreement and send Mira safely back to the palace first.

In the car, in order to prove that he was not lying, Fujiko Mine handed over the found "Conan"'s true identity to Lupine III and Daisuke Jigen for circulation.

The two of them were very surprised when they saw the news reports and simple character profiles on the website.

"No wonder that kid is so smart..."

Lupine the Third thought of his first meeting with the kid. It was obviously not a judgment that a primary school student could possess.

"But it's still a little worse than me~"

Lupine the Third once again showed off his beauty, he was the one who deceived Conan with a video recorder.

Daisuke Jigen, who was in the co-pilot, also saw that the kid seemed to be no ordinary person, but he never expected that he turned out to be a miniature version of the famous Japanese high school detective.

Daisuke Jigen returned the laptop to Fujiko Mine in the back seat, "But even so, it doesn't make sense why there are two brats at the same time?"

Regarding this point, Fujiko Mine was also very puzzled.

If Daisuke Jigen's "father" is fake, that mixed-race man should be real.

But that man is not the famous writer "Kudo Yusaku" either.

Is the information wrong?

still……

I really can’t tell...

…

Royal Palace of Vespania.

Conan relied on his nimble body skills to escape the pursuit of the bar owner, but because he lost his "dad" as a local guide, he could only return to the palace with nothing.

Chis was quite surprised to see Conan come back alone.

"Conan, where is Mr. Jigen?"

"Dad..." Conan subconsciously wanted to call him father again, and quickly changed his words: "Mr. Jigen was kidnapped by a man wearing a red suit and looking like a monkey."

Keith frowned, with a question mark on his face.

"Mr. Jigen is an internationally renowned professional gunman... and he was actually captured?"

The short-haired subordinate beside Qisi took a step forward, "Maybe it's the enemy that Teacher Jiyuan made before, right?"

"Well..." Keith nodded, "That's all I can think of."

Conan grinned with a helpless expression. If the uncle hadn't been drinking during the day, things wouldn't be like this.

He didn't know yet that it was the tracker stuck under his drink can that led Lupine there.

"Captain, what should we do now? There is one less powerful ally around us..."

The disappearance of Daisuke Jigen has made the already weak Princess Party even weaker, with almost no one left to trust.

Just then, a guard at the door came to report.

"Report, an ICPO police officer has applied to enter the palace to investigate, and Duke Kilard is meeting him."

Keith was a little surprised, "What are the people from Interpol doing here at this time?"

"Let's go take a look first." Cun Tou's subordinate suggested.

"Um."

Just as Chiss was about to leave, Conan wanted to follow him to see the excitement, but was stopped by Chiss.

"Kid, just stay in this room and protect Miss Mori."

Conan glanced at Mao Lilan on the sofa and thought that was right. Wasn't he chasing the plane just to protect Xiaolan?

"Um!"

Conan nodded vigorously and returned to Mao Lilan.

Keith left the room with his men.

At the same time, at the side entrance of the palace, a square-faced man wearing a khaki trench coat and a dark felt hat raised his police officer ID card.

"My name is Kouichi Zenagata, and I was ordered to search Lupine III."
