Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 2125 The reason for the assassination?

When the princess of Panasukla spoke directly to everyone in Japanese and explained that she really had a commission to entrust to the few people in front of her, Gao Yuan, Xiao Ai and Conan, except for Maori Kogoro, were all shocked and worried about the content of the commission that the princess was going to entrust.

After all, for Conan, because the incident with the killer from the neighboring country had already happened, now that the princess mentioned the commission, he subconsciously felt that this matter was very likely a follow-up to that incident.

In comparison, Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai obviously thought more. After all, when mentioning the Panasugra Kingdom, they also knew that at least the organization had paid attention to them, so maybe this commission would be related to the organization in the end.

And, there is one more important thing——

That is the princess's outfit. This veiled makeup should obviously be the national costume of the country of Panasukla, but this costume can actually easily help some people complete disguise.

Because Gao Yuan and the others had thought that if Vermouth took action, it might be to replace someone in the country's delegation, so compared to the other people present, is it possible that the princess is not the real one now?

So, Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai subconsciously thought about so many ideas in their minds, but since the reality was already at this point, they could only take one step at a time. After all, they were now in this airship flying in the air and could not escape even if they wanted to. It would not be too late to see what the commission was first.

Just like that, after Maori Kogoro took the initiative to ask why the request was made, the princess naturally began to explain:

“In fact, our country is very fortunate to have recently developed precious helium resources, so we plan to establish an airship company based on the discovery of this resource to boost domestic employment and foreign economic trade.

"After all, airships use large amounts of helium to fly.

“Therefore, for this idea, we negotiated with the Japanese government and reached this plan to let our country’s airships cruise around Japan to show the charm of airships and make a name for our country’s new airship industry.

“Once this goal can be achieved, it may bring a prosperous life to our impoverished people!”

Princess Raduna first briefly explained the cause of the incident, and then she became a little excited. She even took off her veil and looked at the people in front of her seriously, saying solemnly:

"However, the king's brother, my uncle, Prince Yakov, has reached an agreement with a company called 'Yukar' to prevent our country from exploiting domestic helium resources. Instead, we must purchase helium from this company to meet the needs of the subsequent operation of the airship company!"

——"'Yukar'!"

However, just as Princess Raduna explained this and mentioned the company called "Yukar", Xiao Ai's expression changed slightly, and she was already extremely shocked and uneasy. For a moment, she could only stay as calm as possible, and moved closer to Gao Yuan, as if she wanted to seek a sense of security.

After all, Gao Yuan has always been very familiar with the organization, so for the name of this company, Gao Yuan might also know the true affiliation behind it...

But Gao Yuan's expression was normal, and he did not have any overly intense reaction to what Princess Raduna said. He just thought about it for a while, and then saw Maori Kogoro beside him, first touching his chin and thinking, and asked back:

“Why would you go out of your way to buy helium from another company?”

"That's because uncle accepted a huge bribe from Yukal Corporation! It's obvious that the people can be well-fed and well-clothed by using our country's helium! But uncle thinks that the people and the country should be sacrificed for his own selfish interests!"

Speaking of this, Princess Raduna seemed extremely angry and criticized Prince Yakov for his actions, which showed that he completely disregarded the future of the country and the people.

Moreover, Princess Raduna became more and more emotional in her next words:

"Regarding this matter, we originally had two ministers who were strongly opposed to the purchase of helium, but they died inexplicably! We are actually investigating the cause of their death!"

"Two, two!"

As a result, Maori Kogoro and Conan felt the difficulty of the matter and their expressions became surprised. Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask after hearing this:

"It sounds like the princess is also against buying helium? Does this mean... the assassination the day before yesterday..."

"Regarding this matter……"

When Gao Yuan mentioned the assassination attempt by the neighboring country's killer the day before yesterday, Princess Raduna's expression was stunned for a moment and she fell silent. Then, she seemed to calm down and replied to Gao Yuan and others:

"I'm not sure...but we have already expressed our relevant opinions when we were negotiating with the Japanese side..."

"So we can't rule out that possibility, right?"

Listening to the princess' words, Gao Yuan couldn't help but say thoughtfully:

"Isn't it risky to go on an airship trip when the assassination case has not yet been completely concluded?"

——Even in hotels in Japan, we can be assassinated. Now, if we are attacked in an aircraft flying in the air, it will be difficult to escape.

Moreover, this kind of thing can really be described as "a small temple with a strong evil spirit". The top leaders of a country, in order to eliminate dissidents for their own interests, chose to kill people directly. They really don't follow any rules at all...

But for a small country like this that is already struggling to survive, it seems that we cannot ask too much.

"What's the point of being afraid of such things? Isn't it possible to make the poor people live a better life? This is the purpose of coming to Japan! We don't have much time to waste!"

In response to Gao Yuan's question, Princess Raduna expressed her attitude in this way.

So, looking at the princess's statement, Gao Yuan admired her thoughts a little. It was rare for someone to think about these things in the royal family and not hesitate to take risks.

However, how can the predicament of this small country be changed just because their top leaders want to?

Gao Yuan couldn't bring himself to say anything about this matter, so he could only superficially change the subject back to the commission:

"You just said that the culprit of all this is your uncle, Prince Yakov. Then you must have relevant evidence, right?"

"Yes."

In response to this, Princess Raduna couldn't help but turn to the attendant beside her when she heard Gao Yuan's question. She explained the situation to him in English and asked him to produce the evidence he had found.

Then, the attendant took out a rope from his pocket... (End of this chapter)
