Conan, but the winery

Hans blinked and looked at her with confusion and curiosity.

Seeing him like this, Mary completely lost her patience.

"Shirakawa, what will Hatoyama think of you now that you are like this?"

She and Qing Shirakawa had known each other for a long time, so Mary knew very well what this name meant to him. The real Qing Shirakawa would never be indifferent to this name.

However, what was completely beyond her expectations was that after hearing this name, the "Hans" in front of her still had that curious and puzzled expression on his face, and did not show any special reaction to this name.

It was not until this moment that Mary finally reacted. She looked at "Hans" and her face instantly darkened.

"who are you?"

He would never be Shirakawa Kiyoshi.

"I've already told you, I'm Hans, Ma..."

As soon as Hans opened his mouth, Mary suddenly stepped forward and reached out to grab his face.

"Hans" was obviously prepared for this. After Mary took action, he quickly retreated and raised his hand to fight back.

But it was obvious that the fighting abilities of the two were not at the same level at all. After just a few moves, Mary easily broke through "Hans's" defense, grabbed his face with her right hand, and pulled it hard.

"Tear!"

With a sound like tearing paper, "Hans'" face was torn off directly by Mary, and Mary finally saw his true appearance under the disguise mask.

"Sharon?!"

Throwing away the disguise mask in her hand, Mary looked at "Hans" in disbelief as his true face was finally revealed.

"Ah, my trick has been exposed~"

Vermouth took two steps back to steady herself, sighed with regret, then looked at her again and said with a smile:

"You are indeed an old agent who has been active for decades. I thought I could deceive you for a while longer, but I didn't expect you to be discovered so quickly. What a pity... But seeing the expression on your face just now, I am not too disappointed."

"Why is it you..."

Ignoring Vermouth's teasing, Mary stared at her blankly, her pupils suddenly shrinking.

But she quickly reacted, raised her gun, looked at her coldly, and asked:

"Where is he?"

"Who? Shirakawa?"

Taking out a cigarette box from her pocket, Vermouth slowly lit a cigarette for herself, folding her hands, still with a smiling expression on her face.

"Mary, he died ten years ago. Didn't you come to his funeral? Don't tell me you forgot."

"I'll ask you again, where is he?" Mary pulled the bolt of the gun, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"You guys, it's been decades, why are you still chasing after a dead person..."

Completely ignoring her threat, Vermouth shook her head slightly. She walked to the table beside her, put out the cigarette in her hand, then took out a palm-sized sealed bag from her pocket and spread it out. Inside was a disguise mask that she had prepared in advance.

"Okay, if you can't shoot, put the gun down. Aren't you tired of holding it up like this?"

In front of Mary, Vermouth tidied her overly long hair, then skillfully took out the disguise mask and put it on, then picked up the military cap that had fallen to the ground during the fight and put it on.

Finally, she turned back into Captain Hans of the guard.

"Mary, thank you for helping me take care of Xiaoying these days."

Switching back to Hans' voice, Vermouth's tone was filled with a kind of helpless doting.

"That child has recently reached her rebellious stage and always likes to run around. It would be fine if she was a little bit dumb, but unfortunately she has been very smart since she was a child. This is really giving me a headache...

I have strayed off topic. As we were once friends, Mary, I will give you one last piece of advice.

"Click!"

"quick!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of noisy footsteps outside the door, and the sound of a key turning the door lock.

"The person you are looking for has died a long time ago."

Second, evening

Chapter 244 The real truth

“Brother Wang! You said that all those minerals… were destroyed by you?!”

In the king's bedroom, the events concerning this country ten years ago have not yet concluded. Preben knelt on the ground, looking at Heninggu who was sitting beside the bed in disbelief.

"Preben, I have already said that those ores are not something that Andrew can own. Destroying them is the best option for Andrew."

With Ole's help, he was able to sit steadily on the edge of the bed. Heningu lowered his head and looked calmly at his younger brother who was kneeling at his feet.

After confirming this from Heninggu again, Preben felt as if struck by lightning. He fell to the ground with a pale face.

"How could this happen? Without those minerals, they wouldn't support me... Without them, what about Andrew's future, our powerful Andrew..."

Preben's eyes were lifeless. He muttered unconsciously at first, then he muttered faster and faster, as if he had thought of something, and the distraught expression on his face gradually disappeared.

Finally, he raised his head, glared at Heninggu fiercely, and asked loudly:

"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! That's an entire mineral vein! Heninggu! How could you destroy all that ore?! This is impossible! You are lying to me!"

"Preben..."

Seeing him like this, Heninggu sighed in disappointment.

"It's just a small vein. If we can't mine it all in a year, how can we mine it all in ten years? You know what happened with El Pharmaceutical back then. You should have remembered how those people deceived us, right?

On the surface, they said it was just ordinary mineral research, but they secretly hid it from us and conducted such dangerous experiments on our land.

If it weren't for the explosion in the border village that year, we probably still wouldn't know what secrets were hidden in those ores.

Conducting illegal research on another country's soil is not allowed in any country. I promised to protect them from leaving, but it was just an exchange to gain more benefits for Andrew.

After all, if this matter were to be exposed, it would not be good for either of us, so it would be better to cover it up. They would no longer have to worry about going to the International Court of Justice, and we could also obtain more development funds.

Of course, I never trust their promises. Andrew's future stability cannot rely on those foreigners.

So after they left, I designated that border village as a restricted area in the name of rebellion and prohibited everyone from approaching the village.

At the same time, a guard team was secretly stationed there, specifically responsible for mining those ores. It was Birun who led this matter in the first place.

These soldiers did not know the secrets of the ore. They were only responsible for mining. It was not until more than a year ago that the vein was completely mined. As for the method of destroying the ore..."

Having said that, Heninggu paused, and a trace of sadness suddenly appeared in his turbid eyes.

"A researcher at El Pharmaceuticals told me..."

"impossible!"

As soon as Heninggu finished speaking, Preben interrupted him with a scream, shouting: "The researchers in that institute were all killed on the night of the explosion! All their research data was destroyed in the explosion! How could any researcher tell you that! You are lying to me! You are lying to me!"

"You are right, Preben. She is indeed dead, just like them, she died that night..."

He Ninggu nodded slightly, his tone revealing deep sadness.

"It was on the night of the explosion that the researchers finally found a way to detonate the ores. They were excited and cheered for it, and they couldn't wait to verify it.

Among these people, only she realized the impact these special minerals would have on the weak Andrew.

So that night, she took the information about the minerals out of the lab quietly, asked her two daughters to take the information, got on the guard team's car to the kingdom, and delivered them to me...

These materials are a summary of El Pharmaceutical's research on those minerals over the years. They include not only the methods of detonating the ores that she temporarily wrote down, but also methods on how to completely destroy those ores and turn them back into ordinary ores.

It was these materials that allowed me to understand the truth behind El Pharmaceutical's research and gave Andrew the bargaining chips to negotiate with them.

And the woman who helped Andrew...she was the mother of Freya sisters and the deputy director of the research institute back then.

After letting the younger Freya sisters take away the important information, she was also killed in the explosion that night..."

"Freya? I see. No wonder, no wonder..."

Listening to his words, Preben lowered his head in despair, with a bitter expression.

"I was always curious at first. We were clearly deceived by those Japanese before, but how come you suddenly knew everything that night... So it turned out to be like this...

And Freya and the others... My brother, the reason you adopted them and designated them as heirs to the throne is to repay that woman?"

In response to his question, Heninggu remained silent and did not answer, but his silence at this time was actually a kind of answer.

It is obvious that there must have been some special relationship between Heninggu and the deputy director. It was because of this relationship that the deputy director finally chose to stand on the side of Andrew Kingdom.

Because of this, the Freya sisters had the opportunity to take the guard's vehicle to the palace that night, and escape the explosion that was about to destroy the entire village. They were adopted by Heninggu and eventually became Andrew's princesses.

"Hahahaha!"

Heningu was silent, but Preben suddenly burst into laughter, looking crazy.

"So that's what's going on! I finally understand! I was wondering why you are so nice to them, brother. It turns out they are the daughters of your old lover! As expected! As long as they are still alive, Andrew's throne has nothing to do with me! Hahahaha!"

While laughing, Preben suddenly stopped, and his eyes were filled with undisguised hatred when he looked at Heninggu.

"But, brother Wang, what if they die?"

His words made He Ninggu's face change suddenly.

"Hey, hey, hey? Brother Wang, are you anxious?"

Seeing his reaction clearly, Preben was extremely provocative.

"No way? You don't think I only sent one person to deal with the two sisters? You don't think that as long as the killer is dealt with, they will be safe, right? No way?"

"Preben?! You... cough cough!" There was suppressed anger in his tone, and Heninggu, who was furious, coughed violently several times.

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing him like this, Preben smiled even more happily.

"Brother Wang, since things have come to this point, I don't mind telling you that the killer caught in Japan was just a chess piece I casually placed.

The person I really arranged to kill them is still hiding! Neither of them knows about it yet! Hahaha! He will definitely not fail! Brother Wang, why don’t you guess who he is? Guess who has our blue sapphire now? "

【Could it be? ! 】

Hearing what he said, Wu Wanying's pupils suddenly shrank, and a clue in his mind that he had always ignored was instantly connected at this moment.

It's Onimare!
