Chapter 2198 Can You Help Me?



"Have I promised you too much, or have I not given you enough in the first place? You always have a thousand reasons, and I always follow your feelings..."

"What are you singing?"

Sitting on the Ferris wheel and listening to Fang Zheng humming a song, Mira asked curiously.

"Oh, I'm creating the background music for what Kudo is feeling at the moment."

Hearing Mira's question, Fang Zheng chuckled and looked out the window.

"How can I bear to blame you for making a mistake? It's me who gave you too much freedom, which made you even more lonely and led you into an emotional whirlpool..."

"By the way, how do you think that Kudo is feeling right now?"

Mira was also quite excited about this and asked curiously.

"It's probably like there's a green grassland above your head, and thousands of horses are galloping on it?"

Fang Zheng thought about it and answered with a smile.

"This brat is just like that. He likes Xiaolan so much, but he is too embarrassed to say it out loud. As a result, when he hears that Xiaolan wants to be alone with another man, he gets jealous faster than anyone else..."

"What about Xiaolan? Does Xiaolan like him?"

"I like it, but I'm just embarrassed to say it... After all, we are young and have plenty of youth to squander."

"Youth is great... I feel like I'm old now."

"Hahaha, you are still young too."

Looking at Mira who couldn't help sighing, Fang Zheng also laughed. Although Mira and Xiaolan looked almost like each other, their personalities were completely different. Xiaolan's personality was more stable, while Mira's personality was a little more erratic. In short, Mira's personality was very similar to Sonoko's, except that she was a little more aggressive and aggressive than Sonoko.

"Ding-ling-ling..."

Just then, Fang Zheng's cell phone rang, so he took out his phone and turned it on, and soon Conan's voice rang out from the other end.

"Where did you take Princess Mira!!!"

Conan was also very angry at the moment. After seeing the photo just now, he felt like Gin hit him from behind. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time. It was not until Xiaolan appeared later that he and Maori Kogoro learned the truth of the matter - it turned out that Xiaolan and Mira met on the road. Mira was being chased by her bodyguard at the time, and Xiaolan mistakenly thought that the other party was going to force Mira, so she knocked him down with a roundhouse kick.

Then the two sides chatted in the park, and then Princess Mira had a sudden idea, exchanged clothes with Xiaolan, and ran away.

Hearing this, Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he immediately took out the photo and looked at it again, and soon discovered the clue... So he angrily called Fang Zheng to ask for an explanation.

"Oh, Conan, did you see that photo? Miss Mira and I were playing outside."

"Stop joking, bring her back quickly, she is the Princess of Westbania!!"

"Wesbania... Oh, I remember it was the one at the banquet tonight..."

"That's right, you should bring her back quickly, otherwise the other party will treat Xiaolan as a substitute for the princess!"

Conan was extremely anxious at this moment, because the envoy from the Kingdom of Westbania actually said that if the princess could not come back, then Xiaolan would be the princess's substitute!

Conan and Maori Kogoro naturally disagreed. You know, just before this, someone tried to poison the princess at the banquet. They used Xiaolan as a stand-in, obviously to attract firepower and block the guns!

"Oh, I see."

After listening to Conan's story, Fang Zheng nodded.

"Give him the phone."

"OK."

Soon, a calm yet arrogant voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I don't know who you are, but I advise you to bring the princess back immediately. Otherwise, we will treat you as a suspect of kidnapping the princess."

"Yo huh?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"You're teaching me how to do things? Who do you think you are?"

"I am Count Gis Dan Stinka, the envoy of the Kingdom of Westbania."

"oh."

Fang Zheng nodded, then covered the microphone and looked at Mira.

"Miss Mira, do you want to go back?"

"In no mood!"

"All right."

Hearing Mira's answer, Fang Zheng shrugged and picked up the phone again.

"That's it. Miss Mira hasn't had enough fun yet. I'll send her home when she's done. Also, I advise you to let Xiaolan go. If you dare to do anything to her, I promise to beat you so hard that even your mother won't recognize you."

"Who are you?"

At this moment, the other party's tone gradually turned cold, and Fang Zheng chuckled.

"I'm Fang Zheng, the president of Umbrella. You should know my name. So, I think you should know what it means to reject me."

“…”

The other party was silent for a long time, and finally answered in a low voice with gritted teeth.

"What do you want?"

"It's simple. Miss Mira and I had a great time. Since she finally came to Japan, I naturally have to take her around. Don't worry, I will send her home."

"...I want to speak to Her Highness Mira."

"Give."

Fang Zheng handed the phone to Mira across from him.

"Someone is looking for you."

"Ah, um..."

Mira took the phone and her expression became a little nervous.

"Hey, ah...Gis? No, that...what?!"

Hearing this, Mira immediately raised her eyebrows and showed an angry expression.

"I don't want to go back. There are people everywhere who want to harm me! You? What's your use? You couldn't even tell that someone poisoned me, and it was a little kid who saved me! I don't want to go back. Fang Zheng and I are having a lot of fun! Fang Zheng will protect me!"

After saying this, Mira angrily returned the phone to Fang Zheng. Soon, the voice of Count Guise came again.

"...Then, Mr. Fang Zheng, Her Highness Mira is now in your hands. If anything goes wrong with her, it will affect the diplomatic relations between Westbania and Japan. Please consider this carefully."

"I don't give a shit about Japan's diplomatic relations with you."

Fang Zheng said something casually and then hung up the phone.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the observation car was a little silent, but soon, Fang Zheng broke the slightly awkward atmosphere.

"So you are the Princess of Westbania. So what about the poisoning you mentioned earlier?"

"Well, since you know everything, there is nothing to hide."

Since her identity was exposed, Mira no longer hesitated and quickly confessed the matter to Fang Zheng. She was the princess of Westbania, and Westbania was originally ruled by the queen. However, just half a month ago, the queen and the prince who was supposed to inherit the throne died in an accident during a wild trip.

According to the records at that time, when the prince tried to shoot the fox, he accidentally hit the queen who wanted to let the fox go, and then the prince died because of his own guilt. As a result, the inheritance of the country immediately fell to the princess. This naturally made Mira very resistant, after all, her brother had always wanted to be the king, and she had never thought of becoming the queen.

But now, her mother and brother died at the same time, and she suddenly had to become the ruler of a country, which made Mira extremely resistant. Not only that, every day there were opposition parties shouting outside the door, opposing Mira's succession to the throne and demanding national reform, which made Mira very upset.

She was like a nobody standing at the side of the stage, who was suddenly dragged to the center of the stage by force. She hadn't figured out what to do yet, and was booed by the audience below...

Not only that, Princess Mira has also encountered more than one assassination and poisoning in the palace these days, which made her extremely irritable. Originally, Mira didn't want to come to Japan to attend this weird banquet, but the other party said that this was arranged by her mother before her death, so she came anyway.

But what Mira didn't expect was that just as the banquet began, a killer disguised as a waiter gave her a glass of poisoned wine.

This made her feel extremely desperate. It was already very unsafe in her own country, but what Mira didn't expect was that even if she fled to a distant and strange country, death would still follow her.

That's why she gave up on herself and fled the banquet venue at that time, and then accidentally met Xiaolan who looked very similar to her. What happened after that... needless to say.

"I don't believe that my elder brother would kill mother and then commit suicide. This must have been done by Duke Girard. He is my mother's younger brother. As long as he kills us, he can inherit the throne. Moreover, he went hunting with my mother and elder brother that day..."

Having said that, Mira clenched her fists tightly.

"But, after investigating for a long time, those people said they couldn't find any evidence at all! No evidence! I..."

At this moment, the Ferris wheel began to slowly descend, and Mira's eyes flashed as she looked at Fang Zheng.

"Fang Zheng, you can even catch Lupin the Third and the others, you must be very powerful! Can you help me catch the real murderer?!"

"So you want to entrust me?"

Having said that, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Mira in front of him.

"My commission is not cheap."

"As long as you can help me catch the murderer, I will do anything!"

At this point, Mira's face turned slightly red, but she still clenched her fists and looked at Fang Zheng.

"No one can help me, no matter where I am, including in the palace. Everyone keeps saying that they are trying to protect my safety, but I want more than that. I want to catch the murderer. I don't want to live like this anymore. I once swore that as long as I can avenge my mother and brother, I will sell my soul to the devil!"

"Since you have said so much, I have nothing more to say."

Hearing Mira's answer, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Okay, although I'm not a devil, I will accept your commission."
