The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1211 The Man Behind the Queen

Looking at the USB flash drive in front of her, Mira inexplicably felt as if she had become some kind of Imperial art student who had failed the exam, had just finished a speech in a beer hall, and was currently arresting some oily Titanium people.

If you take this list, you will no longer be an ordinary queen. All the people on the list will be thrown into concentration camps and caught in one fell swoop. All those who oppose you will disappear into thin air.

Mira thought about it and felt that it was a bit too scary and too extreme.

It is very likely that he will bring himself a lot of infamy in his small piece of land in Europe.

"Well, isn't it a bit too extreme to catch them all at once?"

"When did I say we've caught them all?"

Fujino looked at Mira in front of him speechlessly and complained: "Your outrageous idea is unrealistic. Such extreme measures will only send you to the guillotine."

As he spoke, he handed over the USB drive and said, "It is impossible for a certain group to completely disappear. An iron-fisted crackdown will only create another more troublesome group. What I want to tell you is that the best way is to completely sideline them. Find a group, beat a group, incite a group to defect, and support a group."

"First, write them down in a small notebook, and then find some people in the Vespania public service system who can be arrested to make an example of them. This will not only deter others, but also bring me a good reputation."

"Then I will support my own people to take over the power vacuum and firmly hold that power in my own hands."

"Other methods include inciting rebellion, investigating the other party's background, finding the other party's tail, and then using his family or something he cares about to threaten him and make him a spy."

Mira listened and frowned: "What if threats don't work?"

"..."

Fujino's face darkened for a moment, and he made a gesture on his neck: "This kind of determined person cannot be kept. Neither his family nor important things can stop him. He will achieve great things in the future."

"..."

Mira immediately understood and looked unhappy, feeling that this was a bit extreme.

But thinking that what the other party said was right, she could only nod helplessly.

Fujino looked at Mira in front of him and was very satisfied. He thought this queen was okay. At least she was not a saint and already had the potential to be a superior.

As for the anti-princess groups and anti-monarchy groups, Fujino had no feelings for them, nor did he have any so-called ideological resonance, let alone show mercy to them.

In his view, this group of people are just a group of guys who, for their own interests, are raising high the banner and coercing a group of people who do not see the essence of things to seize power and usurp the throne.

It would be fine if it was really for an ideal, but how could this be an ideal world?
Do you think they will do what they said after they succeed?
In modern society, no matter what system it is, it is nothing more than a means for the superiors to enslave the inferiors. Its essence is an extension of the monarchy. It is just that the throne is yours this year and mine next year. There is no difference.

Any theoretical ideal that ignores the actual situation is rogue.

For a country like Vespasian that is not very large and is located in Europe, the monarchical centralized system is currently the most stable and secure system. Under such a centralized system, there will not be various political parties that pretend to be politically correct in order to fight for power, such as environmental protection organizations and LGBT organizations, which will greatly enhance the productivity and technological development capabilities of the entire country.

Although there are disadvantages, these disadvantages can be ignored compared with the advantages.

What's more, Vespania also has outrageous things like Vespania Ore...

Fujino thought so, and then continued: "With these few moves, you have to try to completely undermine that group, and even make their leader your man, so that this group will completely lose its threat. Then, you can rest assured."

"If there are others, you can use similar operations, but this will test your intelligence gathering capabilities."

"..."

Mira didn't respond. After a moment's thought, she asked in confusion, "So, why are you so dedicated to my becoming the queen?"

Her face gradually became suspicious: "I won't give you extra money..."

"I just think that handing this country over to you is the best solution."

After thinking for a moment, Fujino gave an answer and then asked, "Do you know the detailed function of the Vespania ore you just discovered?"

"I heard from Keith..."

"Since you've heard of it, you should know that this thing is a death warrant."

Fujino looked at her and said seriously: "If this thing is discovered by a big country, it will be treated as a treasure and used as a trump card, but if it is discovered by a small country, it will be an unprovoked disaster."

"It cannot be detected by radar and can interfere with electronic equipment. This kind of thing is enough to make a country no less than a country with nuclear weapons. The big countries are very wary of this thing, but due to the modern society, it is difficult for them to take action against you."

"Your mother is smart and knows that this thing cannot be developed further, so she rejected your uncle's idea of ​​weaponizing it. Otherwise, Vespania would have become a battlefield by now."

"If you really dare to mine this stuff on a large scale, I guess there will be a proposal to beat you up for secretly storing nuclear weapons at the United Nations Congress tomorrow. By then, you should be able to foresee what the outcome will be, right?"

Mira naturally knew what Vespania would become by then, and had even imagined that scene in her mind. She swallowed her saliva and said with a pale face: "Vespania will be completely destroyed, become a war-torn country, and finally become a ruin."

"Not everyone is as smart as your mother and acts harmless, like a neutral, peace-loving country. If you abolish the monarchy, the next person to take power might be the next Killad."

Fujino said, crossing his arms over his chest and teasing in a serious tone, "In comparison, you are as simple-minded as a blank sheet of paper, and you have inherited your mother's will. You will definitely take over the previous queen's policy of peaceful development. Moreover, a 19-year-old girl is innocent and pure. One look at your clear eyes shows that you have no ambitions or threats. You are much better than those guys who came out of nowhere and have no idea what they are thinking."

"..." Mira finally understood. In short, I look stupid, and no one would bother with a fool, right?

So this guy said all this to me because he thinks I'm a naive idiot and has no deterrent effect on other people?

Mira was speechless for a moment.

He twitched his eyebrows and said, "So, if there is no profit, why do you worry about this?"

"I'm just worried about the people in your country."

Fujino said calmly, "No matter which country they are from, they are all human beings in the end. There are old and young, male and female, but most people are still human beings in the end. I just hope that people all over the world can stay away from war as much as possible."

"I can't control other things, but as the saying goes, the rich help the world, the poor take care of themselves. I am still happy to lend a hand to those people within my ability."

Mira stared at Fujino and thought for a long time, and finally said in silence: "I understand."

"So you said all this just to control my country by controlling me, and to help me get to the top so that I can have a corresponding position in your heart, and to improve my favor at the same time, right?"

"?"

Fujino silently typed a question mark, thinking to himself: "Why did this princess suddenly become so smart?"

"No, no, is this still the same princess? Could she have been replaced by someone?"

"Could it be possible that becoming a queen and wearing a crown can improve one's IQ?"

When Fujino looked at Mira in front of him, there was a hint of contemplation and confusion in his eyes.

Mira felt a little scalp numb when she was stared at, and she silently asked a question: "Why are you staring at me like this?"

"I'm a little suspicious, maybe you were replaced by Keith."

"Ha, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I be replaced?"

"The tone is right. It's definitely Hakimi. He shouldn't have been replaced." Looking at the relieved Fujino in front of her, Mira was silent again. She felt that she was not a decent queen at all. A mere detective dared to challenge her authority as a queen.

But thinking about it, the other party was right, I had no choice but to swallow the loss.

Helplessly, he said, "So you just want to be the man behind the queen, right?"

"No, I'm just giving advice."

Fujino shook his head slightly, then changed his mind and said, "I am the honorary prime minister of Vespania, the man behind the queen."

"If you really want to, you can also call me father."

"You were talking about Keith before. I don't think you are a good person. You just want to be the man behind the queen... in the literal sense."

Mira said this with a hint of contempt, as if to say, 'Oh, you stinky man, I see through all your tricks.'

"So why are you, a queen, making such dirty jokes? You are only 19 years old, a little girl!"

"I'm an adult."

"..."

Mira felt much better when she saw the silent Fujino in front of her.

I'm obviously the older sister, but I was fooled by this little brother... I finally found a way to deal with this arrogant little detective!

Mira felt much more relaxed and recalled what Fujino had just said.

After thinking for a while, she crossed her arms and said helplessly: "If you want to be the man behind the queen, it's not impossible."

"?"

Looking at Mira who suddenly uttered the words of wolf destruction in front of him, Fujino silently typed a question mark to express his confusion, while Mira frowned and corrected: "Of course, I said to make plans, not literally behind you."

"I don't want to give birth to a child for you to usurp the throne."

As she spoke, she crossed her arms and said, "Although I don't know what your purpose is in doing this, if you think about it, you should be in need of the power of this country, and as the queen, I happen to be able to control this country."

"You help me to make this country better, and I will help you."

"In terms of the interests you mentioned, it is still in line with the situation."

Fujino glanced at Mira in surprise: "Why do you feel like a different person all of a sudden?"

"I'm not a princess anymore."

Mira shook her head slightly and gave a helpless smile: "Being a queen means I can't be as willful as a princess. I always have to consider the interests of the country first before taking action... You are right. If I can't be the queen, this country will most likely be devastated."

"Now foreigners are eyeing us covetously, and domestic forces are surging undercurrents. Even if we don't consider guarding against Keith as you said, in addition to Keith, I now need another person to give me advice..."

"You guys are more sinister than each other. I am a 19-year-old girl and I can't compete with you in brainstorming."

Looking at Mira in front of him, Fujino couldn't help but smack his lips: "I didn't expect that you have the qualifications to become the leader of the revival..."

"It seems like it's right for you to be the queen. Even your brother is probably not as suitable as you to be the queen."

Fujino couldn't help but pat Mira's shoulder to express his shock, surprise and emotion.

Mira, who became the queen when others were still in school, was very self-aware. She knew that she was just a child and could not beat others, so she knew to find a reliable external aid to check and balance the internal general manager.

This is already pretty good.

"???"

Mira silently typed a series of question marks, looking at the mere detective in front of her...

It seems like you are bragging about yourself?
But my brother is a man, how can he be the queen?

Is he praising me or making fun of me?

She suddenly had no idea what the other person was thinking.

Fujino sighed and continued, "Give me your phone and I'll apply for you... ahem, I'll send you my confidential email address, and we'll be in a cooperative relationship from now on."

"I didn't bring my phone."

"Forget it, just wait a moment. Okay, when you have time, send me a text message and I'll know your email address. I'll give you the specific contact details then."

Mira always felt that the other party seemed to have some bad intentions, so she did not hand over her mobile phone.

Of course, she didn't bring her cell phone with her.

After all, as a queen, the clothes she is wearing don’t even have a pocket.

After hearing this, Fujino thought about it, took out a business card of his own, took out a pen, wrote something on it, and handed it to Mira.

Mira took the business card, looked at the USB flash drive in her hand, then looked at her clothes without pockets, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

"So, no wonder girls need to buy an extra bag. Expensive and high-end clothes are not good in every way. For example, they don't even have pockets."

"If I don't carry a bag, I won't even have room for my phone or other items."

Fujino looked at Mira in front of him, thinking to himself, and reluctantly took out another large bag of Fushahui, and took out a bunch of cigarettes from his personal space, and handed them to her, saying: "This bag and these cigarettes are the gift of cooperation. Of course, there is also this list."

"So being a queen is different."

Mira took the bag and smacked her lips: "You were so stingy before that you didn't even want to give me a pack of cigarettes, but now you stuffed a whole bag of cigarettes into it..."

"It's different when there's an exchange of interests. This is all about human relationships."

Fujino said calmly, "Your Majesty, when you see these cigarettes in the future, won't you immediately think of me?"

"I still won't smoke your cigarettes."

"I think it's better for you to quit smoking. It's not good for ordinary people to smoke too much."

"Then you give me the cigarette?"

"My cigarettes don't contain nicotine. They are more refreshing than ordinary cigarettes and have a calming effect..."

"If you run out of cigarettes, you can buy some from me."

"So you're just trying to sell me your cigarettes?"
