Keith raised his hand to indicate to the guards that they did not need to salute.

In the face of the captain of the Royal Guards, Qin Zhibo and others were able to bypass the beeping metal detector and enter the auditorium from the side passage.

"this way please……"

After following Qisi for a while, he walked into the auditorium. Along the way, he met either dignitaries in suits or luxuriously dressed celebrities.

In addition to the celebrities outside the auditorium who were getting to know each other and chatting, there were also many people who had taken their seats inside the auditorium where the ceremony was held.

The aisle paved with long black and white stone tiles in the center of the auditorium is the path that the new king needs to walk during the coronation ceremony, and is called the "King's Path" by the outside world.

In the area paved with diamond-shaped stone tiles on both sides of the "King's Road", hundreds of chairs are neatly placed, extending in rows to the front of the coronation chair.

The closer the seat is to the coronation chair, the more valued it is by the king and the king is a guest of the entire country.

"The positions of several of you are in front..."

Qisi led Qin Zhibo and his party straight forward, through the long royal road, until they reached the front row. The nearest chair was only a few steps away from the coronation chair.

Qin Zhibo counted exactly eleven empty chairs.

"Please allocate the specific positions by yourself. I'll go check on Princess Mila's condition first. We'll see you later."

Keith turned and left, leaving everyone confused.

Although these people are all prominent figures in their respective fields, this is the first time they have participated in such a solemn coronation ceremony.

Especially since there were already some guests sitting on the surrounding seats. They were looking at Qin Zhibo and others with confusion and confusion in their eyes.

Who are these people?

In the eyes of outsiders, these people dress casually and have different styles. Some wear yellow windbreakers, jeans, white kimonos, and casual clothes.

There were also children, some wearing masks, and even more frighteningly, some clearly holding a samurai sword in their arms.

Can these strange people sit in the most important position in the coronation ceremony?

In fact, if he didn't have to serve as a guard for the parade later, Qin Zhibo would also like to wear a decent and polite suit to attend such an important occasion.

However, they settled in for what they had come. Qin Zhibo and others ignored the gazes around them and began to assign seats.

"There are 11 seats in total, but only 10 of us came."

Kudo Yusaku discovered this problem and mentioned.

Mao Lilan also looked around and found that "he" was not here.

"Fujiko didn't come..."

Lupine III waved his hands indifferently and said with a smile: "Maybe she just doesn't want to see her 'old customers' in this place..."

"Don't worry about her~"

With that said, Lupine the Third sat on the seat closest to him.

At this time, everyone saw that Lupine III's face had somehow gained two glimpses of a mustache, and a pair of elegant round-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Not to mention, this cross-dressing makes the whole person look less arrogant.

In fact, this disguise is understandable. After all, he is an internationally wanted thief. News media will arrive one after another to take photos. Once Lupine III is photographed at the coronation ceremony, it will definitely arouse a lot of international public opinion.

As Lupine III took his seat, Zenigata Police Department and Jigen Daisuke also immediately took their seats, sitting on his left and right respectively, quite like protecting the law.

But Koichi Zenagata’s main purpose is to keep Lupine the Third from causing trouble.

Ishikawa Goemon sat next to Daisuke Jigen, also among the eleven seats, the farthest away from the coronation chair.

The four seats were divided instantly, and the remaining six people were divided between the mother's family and the husband's family.

When Qin Zhibo and others were about to continue assigning seats, a short-haired girl wearing a white tube top dress suddenly ran over from somewhere else.

"Uncle Maori!"

The two turned around and saw that it was Sonoko Suzuki.

Yuanzi ran over with anxious eyes, "Uncle Maori, where is Xiaolan?"

"Xiaolan? She..."

Mouri Kogoro was confused for a moment, and just as he was about to say, "It's right here," he was grabbed by Kudo Yusaku next to him.

"Xiaolan is feeling a little unwell and is resting in the hotel..." Kudo Yusaku blocked Mouri Kogoro, who was sometimes too simple-minded, and asked: "By the way, Sonoko, why are you here?"

Sonoko turned around and saw Kudo Yusaku. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that this was Kudo Shinichi's father whom he hadn't seen for many years, and bowed slightly.

"Hello, Uncle Kudo."

"I heard on the news that Vespaña announced that they had captured a Japanese female spy, and my family said that this female spy looked very similar to Princess Mila..."

"In addition, Xiaolan has not come to school recently, and there is no one in the office. I am worried about Xiaolan's safety, so I specially wanted to come and have a look with the quota of people at home..."

"Xiaolan, is she really okay?"

Looking at Yuanzi's eager eyes, Mao Lilan, who was standing aside, felt a warm current surge in her heart.

Good bestie!

If Conan hadn't pulled her just now, Mao Lilan would have raised her hand to say hello as soon as she saw Yuanzi.

But now that she is using Fujiko Mine's body, if she greets Sonoko, people will definitely be shocked.

Moreover, the reason for body swapping was also a secret, and there was no way to explain it to Sonoko.

"Xiaolan is a very nice person now, right? Conan?"

"Um."

With a look from Kudo Yusaku, Conan handed over the assist with a smile, dispelling Sonoko's concerns.

"Huh..." Yuanzi breathed a sigh of relief, then pinched his waist angrily, and said angrily: "Really, you didn't even call me to say you were safe when everything was fine, which made me worry for several days..."

"I must have just called that detective boy!"

Conan: I'm the detective boy?

Facing Yuanzi's complaints, Mao Lilan was a little helpless. Her brain had experienced many things recently and she had indeed forgotten this matter.

"By the way Sonoko, we have one more seat here, how about you sit with us?"

Facing Kudo Yusaku's invitation, Sonoko glanced at this position, which was much further forward than her own.

Moreover, this coronation ceremony was very important, and the internationally renowned Suzuki Foundation only had one quota to attend the ceremony. The place where she sat was surrounded by strange foreigners, which was very boring.

"Okay! It just so happens that my position is pretty boring, and it's nice to be with Conan and the uncles~"

With the participation of Yuanzi, the seats were quickly assigned.

Kudo Yusaku sat closest to the front of the coronation chair. After all, he is an internationally famous best-selling author, so it is not surprising that he was photographed by the media.

Next is Mouri Kogoro. Moori Kogoro is wearing a suit and his attire is relatively normal.

Next is Sonoko, who is also well-dressed. She is also the second daughter of the Suzuki Foundation, and is rumored to be the future heir to the Suzuki Foundation.

Further outside the garden are Conan, Maori Ran, Qin Zhibo, Conan, Sengata Police Department, Lupine the Third, Daisuke Jigen, and Goemon Ishikawa.

Eleven seats are lined up and all are occupied.

Yuanzi sat on the seat and looked out curiously.

On his right were Uncle Kudo and Uncle Mori, both of whom were relatively familiar; but the group of people on the left were unfamiliar to them.

"Conan..."

Sonoko bent down and asked Conan's ear.

"Do you know the woman sitting next to you?"

Conan glanced to the side, feeling a little helpless. This person was Mao Lilan!

But now Mao Lilan is using the body of Mine Fujiko, how can Sonoko recognize it?

So Conan could only shake his head helplessly, "It's not too familiar..."

This specious answer made Yuanzi confused.

But she stretched her head and looked to the side again, and a father and son wearing golden masks came into view.

Do you still wear a mask in this situation?

Yuanzi was a little confused in her heart, but what made her even more confused was that the child wearing the mask gave her exactly the same feeling as Conan.

Sonoko immediately teased Conan in a half-joking tone.

"Conan, look at the kid sitting over there. Does the tugging look like you?"

Conan grinned helplessly.

I laughed...

Conan, who was separated by two people, also went by the pseudonym "Kebei", driven by curiosity, quietly observed Sonoko's every move to see what was different from the Suzuki Sonoko in his own world.

But after observing for a while, he found that there was no difference.

Still the same old lady...
