Chapter 2154 The Time Has Come



The next day, everyone returned to Tokyo on President Suzuki's cruise ship. At the same time, under Fang Zheng's introduction, Natsumi Kosaka also met with President Suzuki and took out her great-grandfather's drawings for confirmation.

Fang Zheng was very familiar with this plot, so he didn't pay much attention to it. In fact, just like in the animation, Conan discovered the secret hidden in the Egg of Memories, so Miss Natsumi invited Kogoro Mori to go to the castle in Yokosuka to find out, and others also hoped to go together, and Kosaka Natsumi readily agreed.

But then again, you already have a castle at home, so why do you want to be a pastry chef in Paris? Your salary may not even be enough to cover the maintenance costs of the castle.

Is this "If I don't work hard, I'm going to come home and inherit a fortune"?

So in the end, in addition to Kogoro Mori, Conan and Ran were also confirmed to go to Yokosuka Castle, and Fang Zheng was also invited by Miss Natsumi Kosaka to accompany them. In addition, there were also a Russian diplomat invited by President Suzuki, a wealthy art dealer, a researcher of the history and culture of the Tsarist period, and a dedicated photographer.

Because he had seen the theatrical version, he didn't even need to choose one from the four options. Fang Zheng came up with the answer directly - the woman Pu Siqinglan who sneaked in under the guise of a Tsarist historian researcher was the internationally renowned assassin Shi Kaobing.

But then again, this Scott's acting is really bad. If you can't speak Chinese, then don't pretend to be Chinese. Do you think you can get away with it by wearing a cheongsam? Of course, it would be fine if Fang Zheng wasn't there, because most people are not familiar with foreigners anyway. But Fang Zheng is here, and it's really uncomfortable to see Scott pretending to be Chinese... If Fang Zheng hadn't been able to find any evidence against her, he would have wanted to send her to heaven...

But having said that, Conan, you are really so arrogant.

Sitting on the sofa, Fang Zheng stared at Conan while drinking tea. I don't know if he was overwhelmed by this mysterious treasure, but he really let himself go. Whether it was finding clues from the egg of memories or the subsequent reasoning, he didn't even say "Oh, this is so strange", he just did it himself. No wonder Xiaolan suspected him. It would be strange if Xiaolan didn't suspect you after all.

Especially not long ago on the cruise ship, Conan's Death Halo showed its power again, causing the photographer among the four to be killed and the videotape to be stolen. It was also with Conan's hint that everyone discovered that this was actually a case within a case. The photographer had a grudge against the chairman's secretary Nishino, so he deliberately went to the other's room while the other was taking a shower, hid his antique ring there, and then stole Nishino's pen, trying to create the illusion that Nishino came to his room and stole his treasures to frame the secretary.

Unexpectedly, a soldier named Scott showed up and didn't want to play tricks. He shot the photographer in the head and sent him back to his hometown to get married. As a result, the two cases were put together, and even Secretary Nishino was suspected of being the murderer of the photographer.

Of course, it was Conan who finally took action, investigated the case, and restored the truth. But the price was... Xiaolan had seen Conan's activities along the way and kept them in mind.

By the way, Fang Zheng originally wanted to take this opportunity to arrest Shi Kaobing, but unfortunately he really had no evidence.

So you see, this is what a professional killer does. There is no need for a secret room, an alibi, or witness testimony. He just goes in and shoots her in the head, then throws the gun into the water. There are no clues. It is simple, crude and effective. Even after she takes a shower and changes clothes, there is no way to detect the smoke reaction. At most, a lifeboat is released to make people mistakenly think that she has already disembarked.

Faced with this situation, even Conan had no way to deal with it, and Fang Zheng had no intention of intervening. Instead of considering scientific reasoning, he decided to just catch the culprit in the act.

"Has Ran started to doubt Conan?"

Look, even Xiao Ai, who was just watching the show, has discovered the problem.

"Of course, he committed suicide, and no one can save him."

Facing Xiao Ai's question, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and laughed. In the final analysis, it was Conan's own problem. If he had defined himself as a precocious child from the beginning, there wouldn't be so many problems. But he had to disguise himself as an innocent kid - what kind of innocent kid would run around the crime scene so happily, approach the corpse when he saw it, and say "Oh, this is so weird".

Fang Zheng wondered if the longer Xiaolan watched, the more anger she accumulated - Shinichi, are you insulting my intelligence?

"So what do you think will happen to Edogawa after he is discovered?"

"I don't think his small arms and legs can withstand a punch from Xiaolan, but what does this have to do with me? After all, it wasn't me who hid my identity and took a bath and slept with Xiaolan."

"Wow... He actually did something like this?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ai was shocked. She had originally had some sympathy for Conan, after all, it was her own medicine that made him smaller. But what Xiao Ai didn't expect was that this so-called high school detective would actually take this opportunity to do such a thing!

What a hooligan!

"Haha, so I'm waiting to see how miserably he will die after his identity is exposed."

Thinking that this day is coming soon, Fang Zheng said that he can't wait.

In the end, the case of the photographer's murder came to an end, and the killer, Shi Kaoping, was believed to have escaped after committing the crime. After that, everyone came to Yokosuka Castle.

I have to admit that Fang Zheng was quite moved when he saw this castle. Apart from anything else, the mansions and castles in Conan's world were indeed very beautiful. If it weren't for Conan, Fang Zheng might have bought a castle and enjoyed it like in the "Deshura Murder Case".

But unfortunately, in Conan's world, people usually die in places like this...

Well, it’s better to just live in your own apartment.

During the rest of the journey, Fang Zheng and Xiao Ai remained invisible, just following behind the crowd like passers-by, not speaking a word, watching Conan's death-defying high jump. So they watched Conan find the tunnel leading to the secret room, open the door of the secret room, and then find the second egg of memory from the coffin.

Then, under Conan's guidance, everyone combined the two eggs of memory into one, and then placed them on a pedestal. Then, under the light, everyone was surprised to see the secret in the eggs of memory - pictures shot out from the eggs of memory and reflected on the surrounding walls. In the dark room, this dreamlike scene fascinated everyone.

Even Fang Zheng was deeply moved. Although he was amazed by this magical design in the movie, he was still quite shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

And...no one seemed to notice another thing.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng glanced at the photo of the Tsar's family, as well as another photo of Miss Xia Mei's great-grandfather and his wife. In fact, Miss Xia Mei's great-grandfather's wife was the Tsar's third princess Maria, and her gray eyes were also inherited from her.

In other words, if the Tsar still existed, Miss Kosaka Natsumi would also be considered a member of the royal family, a princess. Well... according to the normal practice at this time, I should poison the Tsar's immediate family members, then marry this princess, support her weak claim, and then I can legally obtain the Russian territory...

Well, but unfortunately it's just a thought.

It's about time.

Seeing the light gradually fade away, Fang Zheng reached out his hand, gently patted Xiao Ai beside him, and gestured in the direction of Miss Kosaka Natsumi. Xiao Ai nodded, and walked towards the direction of Kosaka Natsumi while no one was paying attention. At the same time, Fang Zheng took two steps back and disappeared into the darkness.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the Egg of Memories, and they didn't notice Fang Zheng's disappearance at all. At the same time, Conan saw a red light spot slowly moving up and aiming at Maori Kogoro.

not good!!

"Danger!"

Conan hurriedly threw the flashlight at Mouri Kogoro, who was so scared that he fell backwards to the ground. At the same time, a bullet flew out and passed by him.

"Hey, what are you doing, Conan!!"

However, at this moment Conan had no time to care about Kogoro's complaints, because he was horrified to find that the red dot appeared again, aiming at Xiaolan who was about to pick up the flashlight!

"Don't pick it up, Lan!!"

At this moment, Conan finally couldn't care less about hiding his identity and rushed directly towards Xiaolan. The black shadow that was aiming at Xiaolan's right eye also showed a ferocious smile and then pulled the trigger - but at this moment, a hand suddenly appeared from below, grabbed the black shadow's wrist and lifted it up.

“Bang!!”

The bullet flew out and hit the ceiling diagonally upwards. Fang Zheng held the little black man's wrist tightly with one hand and clenched his other hand into a fist, punching the little black man in the abdomen.

“Woo!!”

After being hit by Fang Zheng, the little black man's eyes suddenly widened, he let out a whine, and then fell to the ground unconscious.

"What happened?"

At this time, the others also reacted and hurriedly picked up their flashlights to shine over here. They were surprised to find that Fang Zheng had pushed Pu Siqinglan, who claimed to be a Tsar researcher, to the ground with his backhand, and a pistol was dropped next to her.

“This, this is?”

Maori Kogoro looked at Pu Siqinglan who was knocked unconscious by Fang Zheng, and was also confused. Fang Zheng took out handcuffs from his arms and handcuffed Pu Siqinglan, then looked at Maori Kogoro.

"She is Shi Kaobing. Now she is caught red-handed. She can't run away at last."

"What? Miss Qinglan is a Scorch soldier?"

Hearing this, everyone became nervous, and Fang Zheng nodded, put away the gun, and then picked up Pu Siqinglan.

"I had my suspicions about her before, so I asked the Metropolitan Police Department to contact Interpol to conduct an investigation. Her name and identity were all fake. Now that she is caught red-handed, she can't get away."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng glanced at Pu Siqinglan who was in his hand.

In the original theater version, Pu Si Qinglan even wanted to burn everyone to death in the castle after escaping, but now that Fang Zheng is here, he naturally won't give her this opportunity.

Wouldn't it be a shame to burn down such a beautiful castle?

The next thing was naturally simple. After catching Shi Kaobing, Fang Zheng immediately called the police, and Officer Megure immediately led a team to arrest him. Miss Xia Mei got back the inheritance left to her by her great-grandfather, and also found the remains of her great-grandmother, which was considered to be the fulfillment of her wish.

It was already late at night when everyone left Yokosuka and returned home.

"Uncle is asleep."

Walking back to the detective agency, Conan looked at Xiaolan and spoke. Xiaolan nodded, put the pigeon in her arms into the basket, stood up and walked to the window. She looked at the rain outside the window, was silent for a moment, and then turned to look at Conan.

"Thank you for saving me in the castle."

"Sister Xiaolan?"

Perhaps Conan noticed that there was something wrong with Xiaolan's tone, and he was also stunned.

"Conan was so handsome at that time, just like Shinichi... Really, just like Shinichi..."

As she spoke, Xiaolan looked at Conan, tears gradually appearing in her eyes.

“…”

At this moment, looking at the tears in Xiaolan's eyes, Conan also fell into silence.

He is not stupid or dumb. Seeing this, Conan also understood the truth. Obviously, Xiaolan has discovered his true identity.

"But, you are different people, right...?"

Tears rolled down Xiaolan's face, she just looked at Conan quietly and spoke in a low voice.

"Isn't that right? Conan?"

“…”

Seeing this, Conan slowly closed his eyes and finally revealed a helpless smile.

It seems that I can’t hide it any longer.

So……

Conan slowly took off his glasses and looked up.

"Actually, Lan...actually I..."

However, Conan did not finish his words, so at this time, he was surprised to find that Xiaolan's gaze had moved behind him.

"… Shinichi?"

"Why?!"

Hearing this, Conan was shocked. He turned his head quickly and found that a person who looked exactly like him was standing at the door, looking at Xiaolan with a smile on his face!

"Are you really Shinichi?"

At this time, Xiaolan hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at "Kudo Shinichi" standing at the door.

However, at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out, followed by a flash of cold light, and the next moment, the silver handcuffs were handcuffed to the wrist of "Kudo Shinichi" with a "click".

"Okay, Kaito Kidd, that's enough."

At the same time, Fang Zheng walked out from the side and glanced at "Kudo Shinichi" who was standing frozen in place.

“…”

Faced with this sudden scene, Conan and Xiaolan were stunned, and "Kudo Shinichi" was even sweating.

"Wait, wait, Mr. Fang Zheng, what are you talking about? I'm not Kaito Kidd, I'm Kudo Shinichi!"

"Come on, stop pretending in front of me. Why are you interfering in the affairs of a couple?"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng turned around and silently glanced at Conan.

"Then I'll take Kidd away. Thank you for your cooperation, Kudo Shinichi."

"Hey? Hey?!"

"Oh, by the way, Xiaolan."

Fang Zheng pressed Kaito Kidd's head while looking at Xiaolan who was stunned.

"Kudo Shinichi's arms and legs are too weak to withstand your karate. Be careful when you hit him and don't hurt him. Well, we'll see each other later... Okay, Kidd, the pork chop rice at the Metropolitan Police Department is delicious. Now we just need you."

“Wait, wait… Hey? No, help…!”

Watching Fang Zheng and Kaito Kidd leave, Conan and Xiaolan stood there, not knowing what to say for a moment. But soon, Conan heard Xiaolan's voice coming from behind again, and the sound of "crackling" of finger bones.

"… Shinichi?"

"ah……"

Conan turned his head tremblingly, and looking at Xiaolan, who looked like the incarnation of the furious Mingwang, his face suddenly turned pale.

Without any reasoning, he knew that this would be a very difficult night...
