Conan: Eternal Darkness

XX, XX, 5:00pm.

In the banquet hall-

"Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to come to the reception at our Yingsheng Hotel. On behalf of the leaders of our Yingsheng Hotel, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of you for coming..." The spotlight in the venue suddenly hit the front On the high stage, a host in a black suit first greeted the guests present politely, and did not spend a lot of time talking too much nonsense. After a simple welcome speech, he entered the theme: "Now, please let us today My mysterious guest—"

"The first heir of Vespania, Princess Mira Giuliati Vespalande!"

The curtain on the stage slowly spread out, and a young girl about 18 or 19 years old appeared in front of everyone. Her face was obviously impatient, but she still sat in the middle at the request of the blond man beside her. Location.

"Which part of Japan does Princess Mila like most?" The host didn't get too close to Princess Mila, but kept a good distance. With a smile on his face, he asked the future queen of Vespania. With some unimportant issues, at best it is a warm-up.

But Princess Mira didn't give him this face. After looking around the venue, she stared at the table in front of her in a daze, putting the host in a rather embarrassing situation. After all, today's protagonist is her, not the host.

"Princess has always wanted to go to Kyoto." The blond man standing behind Princess Mira stepped forward and answered the host's question while holding the microphone on the table.

"What about...favorite food?" The host used all his professional accomplishments in his life, and continued to ask with a smile. As for how he complained or was anxious, it has nothing to do with us. He is just an unimportant person who doesn't even have a name. No passerby armor.

"The princess has always liked sushi." Keith is a qualified bodyguard, and he is too qualified. He even has to deal with the mess left by the willful princess. After all, this is not Vespania. Princess Mira's attitude of refusing to cooperate will obviously It gives an uncomfortable feeling, and the first impression will definitely be so bad that it may affect the future cooperation between the two countries.

But no matter what, the atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward. Anyone with a discerning eye could see Princess Mila's negativity. No matter what question was, Keith, who was standing behind her, answered it on her behalf, while Princess Mila herself was frowning and full of expression. of impatience.

"It's self-indulgent." Gin leaned against the wall, standing in the best view of the venue, looking at Princess Mila with the words "Impatient" written all over her face, a chuckle came out of her throat , It seems that this princess is very resistant to inheriting the throne.

"Now, please raise a glass to your majesty the princess." The host said this sentence with relief, and secretly lamented that this awkward meeting has finally come to the last moment. It's not easy. Was sent to preside over this meeting?

The lights of the venue were turned on one by one, and the sommelier, who was also wearing a black suit, pushed a trolley to Princess Mira on the high platform, and his hand in white gloves picked up the red wine on the trolley, looking like a professional with flaws. The method poured a glass of wine for Princess Mira, and the red and black wine was crystal clear under the light.

This time, Princess Mira cooperated, and stood up and raised her glass to face the guests present.

"Wait a minute, that wine can't be drunk!" A confident child's voice suddenly sounded below the venue. Everyone's eyes followed the source of the sound and focused on the first-grade boy in a blue suit and glasses. He stood Right in front of the high platform, he stared sharply and calmly at the sommelier with his hands in his pockets, "There's something wrong with that sommelier!"

The fake sommelier, who was caught off guard, saw that the incident was exposed, fled without saying a word, rushed through the crowd and rushed into the corridor. Conan followed him and saw the sommelier just stumbled out of the bathroom in front of him. Mouri Kogoro, who came out, hurriedly shouted: "Uncle, stop that person!"

Mouri Kogoro wiped his hands with a tissue, but he didn't react at all. If the sommelier just ran out like this, he probably wouldn't have anything to do, but he couldn't hold himself back and took out a folding knife about ten centimeters long from his arms. Goro Maori Kogoro roared: "Go away!" (Note: 1 cm = 1 cm)

A sommelier who was thrown over the shoulder and fell unconscious on the ground, please remember that it is best not to take hostages or threaten others with weapons.

When this happened at the princess' meeting, it was impossible not to alert the police. The princess returned to her own room, while Keith, Kogoro Mouri, Conan and others communicated with the RB police in another place similar to a conference room.

Officer Mumu took the report in Takagi's hand, just glanced at it, and then frowned tightly: "A lethal amount of toxic substances was detected in the princess' wine glass, this is no joke."

Takagi Shibu picked up the policeman's notebook, looked at the information recorded on it, and took over the words of the police officer: "That person was hired, and he was told that he was only given ordinary laxatives. Regarding the person who entrusted him, he said that he only met today. foreigner."

Officer Mumu looked at Keith, who was standing by the window with his hands behind his back with a serious expression: "According to the information we have, it seems that there are radicals in the anti-princess organization. Can you protect it only by you?"

Keith was unmoved, his tone was naturally high, and even though he spoke to the eyes as if his superiors gave orders, but also, in Vespania, his status can be regarded as a royal family. Down, ten thousand people: "The power of the royal family is enough to protect the princess."

Takagi heard Keith's arrogant and arrogant words, and he was a little dissatisfied on the spot. He rushed up to try to reason with him, but was stopped by the police officer Mumu. Although the police officer Mumu didn't like the royal bodyguard, but he was with RB after all. Those who cooperate are not the ones who can offend them. In the face of Keith's various non-cooperation, they can only change the subject slightly stiffly, and focus on Conan who is standing obediently: "Conan, you How did you see that something was wrong with that person?" Everyone's attention was instantly shifted from the open and secret fight between the police and the royal family to the little boy in the first grade who saved the princess.

Seeing that Mumu used himself as a shield, Conan also pretended to be a child very cooperatively, explaining in a soft and cute childish voice: "When passing by the sommelier, I smelled the smell of cigarettes, and I heard that the first-class sommeliers do not smoke. Yes, so it's weird because it's a first-class hotel."

Mouri Kogoro was thoughtful, he was an alcoholic himself, and he knew a little bit about these things: "Also, although there are sommeliers who smoke, but they won't smoke before pouring the princess wine, right?"

"Indeed." Officer Mumu understood clearly, "On the contrary, many criminals have to smoke a cigarette to calm down before committing a crime."

"We told the princess not to touch anything in the venue before." Keith looked away from the window and spoke arrogantly to the police officers in front of them. He was very confident in the power of the royal family, not to mention, he He also hired someone to protect the safety of the princess. Her Majesty had also handed the princess over to a person before. Although Keith's entrustment to the queen was a bit strange, he never refuted the queen's order.

Just when the royal family of Vespania and the police of RB were confronting, the alarm bells suddenly rang all around, and the sharp and piercing alarm sound made the hearts of the people present sink. Conan reacted first and shouted at Keith: "Go and see the princess!" If Princess Mira disappeared in RB, Vespania and RB would probably... Conan didn't want to think about the consequences.

"Duke!" A royal bodyguard rushed in in a panic, his eyes full of panic: "Princess Mira is gone!"

"Gone?" Keith's face was serious for a moment, and he walked quickly to the bodyguard, speaking at an unprecedented speed. The powerful aura released at that moment made people realize that he was Vespania's royal bodyguard. "Why don't you see it?"

"She, she pressed the lighter on the automatic fire extinguisher in the room..." The bodyguards stammered in fright. The disappearance of the princess is a felony! They can't take this responsibility at all!

Jin Jiu, who had been hiding outside the hotel, watched Princess Mila running away in a hurry and the bodyguards who were chasing after him. He followed them casually with his hands in his pockets, silently following them like a ghost, not at all. Being noticed, they also want to discover gin with their strength? What are you kidding? !

Within minutes after the princess escaped, Conan also got his skateboard back from the hotel counter and searched around the street. The princess dressed like that should be easy to find.

For such a period of time, the other party should not be able to run anywhere. The small figure stepped on the skateboard and flexibly shuttled through the crowd. There was not much complaint about the princess' escape, probably because the other party and Mao Lilan had the same appearance, let's use a pseudonym. Edogawa Conan's Kudo Shinichi is always a little soft-hearted.

Everyone knows what kind of place the palace is. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and if you want to hold a rose, you must bear its injury.
