The Dead Master of Beautiful Manly

Chapter 122: Kingdom of Vespania 2

Views:

The car was driving on the wide asphalt road, heading towards the royal palace in the center of the city.

There is not much introduction about Vespania in the anime itself, but from the encyclopedia he searched on the Internet, although the Kingdom of Vespania cannot be said to be a big country, its total population exceeds 1.5 million and its standing army is more than 20,000, which is considered middle-class even in the ranking of countries in the world.

Moreover, although the country's political structure still retains the old royal aristocratic system, thanks to business and tourism, the per capita living standard of the people is not bad, and in the current mainstream evaluation of the world, it is also very close to the ranks of developed countries.

In summary, although the Kingdom of Vesbania is not very prominent in the world, it is not a country that can be easily ignored.

The car stopped in front of the palace. Not far away, a group of people lined up in front of the palace to maintain a welcoming ceremony. Leading them was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a green suit.

"Welcome to the Kingdom of Vesbania..." The middle-aged man in a green suit who was leading the group greeted Colin with a big smile as he saw him getting off the car.

Colin managed to cope with it with a smile on his face, imitating the style of the interviewers he remembered seeing in the news or movies.

Since Wahar had given him the identity of a Dubai envoy for his convenience, he naturally couldn't be so ignorant as to mess around and ruin Dubai's image abroad.

However, this Duke named Kirrad must be the villain Duke who was eventually defeated in the memory. Judging from his kind and generous face, it is hard to imagine that this person would actually kill his own sister and nephew.

"… This is not the place to talk. Please follow me to the VIP room. We have prepared a sumptuous meal for you…"

"Well, excuse me." Colin interrupted, "It's not polite to ask this, but I heard that the world's number one thief, Lupin III, has set his sights on your country's national treasure, the Queen's Crown. Is this true?"

Duke Girard frowned slightly, but soon he smiled again and said, "We did receive the notice from Lupin III, but please rest assured that the Queen's Crown is under the strictest protection of our country and will never be stolen."

"Although I am a thief and have a big reputation, I think this will definitely not affect the cooperation between us and your country."

Colin waited for Kirad to finish speaking with a polite smile on his face, then said with a smile: "Of course I believe in your country, but I think it would be better to have more people to deal with thieves. I wonder if I can also lend a hand?"

Cooperation is all a cover, but if he can get permission from Killad to participate in the investigation, it will be very helpful in building relationships with Conan, Xiaolan and others.

As for whether Girard would agree, although his request was indeed a bit abrupt, he believed that it should not be a big problem.

As expected, after a moment of hesitation, Girard looked at Colin's eyes that were filled with expectation and excitement, then he smiled and said, "It would be great if Your Excellency Colin is willing to help. Um, do you need me to have someone take you to get familiar with the palace?"

"if you can."

Colin nodded, and Kirad pointed to a subordinate beside him and asked him to lead. Then he frowned as he watched Colin disappear before his eyes.

"I heard that Lupin the Third is a great cross-dresser..."

"Your Excellency the Duke, it has been confirmed that the person in charge of this mission to Dubai is Mr. Colin."

A person next to him put away the phone in his hand, walked up to Killad and whispered.

Gilad listened, and most of his doubts disappeared. He asked the people around him, "How long will it take for the people sent by Interpol to arrive?"

One of them picked up his watch and looked at it, then answered, "About thirty minutes."

Kirad listened and nodded.

It’s not appropriate to do anything else in such a short time, so just continue waiting here.

"This palace is really big."

In the corridor of the palace, Colin walked on the red carpet and couldn't help but sigh.

After wandering around for nearly half an hour, there were still some places he hadn't visited. This was a real eye-opener for a country bumpkin who hadn't seen much of the world.

The staff member who was leading the group heard what Colin said and smiled with a hint of pride. He asked, "Mr. Colin, what are you going to do next..."

"Lupin... Lupin... Lulan... Lan..."

This sound!

Colin's eyes lit up as he listened to the sound faintly coming from afar.

"I heard someone calling out Lupin, you don't have to follow me, I'll go over and take a look myself!"

After saying something to the staff member who was leading him, Colin left the place quickly.

The staff member reached out to stop them, but the next second, Colin's men had disappeared from his sight.

"So fast!"

The staff member said something in surprise, but in the next moment he shook his head vigorously and strode after him.

This voice, this tone, is definitely that of Kogoro Mouri!

He had been too concerned before and didn't want to make a bad impression during the first contact, so he was racking his brains to figure out how to meet her in the most appropriate way. Now, the opportunity had finally come!

The body's senses were fully mobilized, and through the direction of the sound transmission and the 3D topographic map of the palace constructed out of thin air in the brain, the movement direction and speed of Kogoro Mori were instantly calculated, and he figured out what route he should take to meet him halfway.

And then, as long as he turns the corner ahead...

"Mr. Mori! It's really you! I just heard Mr. Mori calling Lupin. Did the Kingdom of Vespania invite you to capture the Phantom Thief Lupin?"

Ke Lin quickened his pace and spoke in the excited tone of a fan who had met his idol.

"Who are you?" Maori Kogoro turned his head and glanced at Colin who was running over, but immediately shook his head and said, "I have something important to do now! Don't bother me, you stranger!"

"Lan! Where are you! Lan!"

Kogoro Mouri was yelling there, and Colin was watching from behind, but he couldn't help but smile.

Although the real person does have certain differences from the anime, the personality is exactly the same.

"Mr. Maori, are you referring to your daughter, Ms. Maori? But it's really surprising. It was only after I saw the photo of Princess Mira that I realized that Princess Mira looks exactly like your daughter. So, could it be that you made a mistake..."

"Boy!"

Maori Kogoro, who was running in front, suddenly stopped, turned around, and said with a ferocious face: "You know where the princess's room is, right!"

"Um, yes, turn right ahead and it's the room at the end." Colin answered honestly.

When Kogoro Mori heard this, he was overjoyed and rushed over there.

Colin watched, smiled, and followed.

This plot won't last long. It will probably end in four or five chapters and then return to the main storyline.
