Conan was about to say this, but he heard a slight and continuous beeping sound amid the booming music from the car stereo.

At the same time, Qin Wuque's cell phone rang.

The call was connected, and the angry voice of a monkey-faced thief mixed with the screaming alarm after the vehicle was locked by a tracking missile came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey! Didn't I already tell you in advance? You don't want to blow up my dear SSK! Hey!!!"

"what……"

Chapter 343 For the completeness of the harem!

Now that we have talked it out, everything will be fine.

Originally, Qin Wuque was wondering why Lupin was running in front, thinking that there must be some powerful pursuers behind him, which made this fearless international thief flee in such a panic.

After asking, I found out...oh my god, the one chasing me was actually me.

But it is also true that he had asked the big guys in the bunker to help lower the sound of the tracking missiles' beeping when they were aiming because he disliked the sound. Plus, there was a song playing in the car, and the beeping sound of the aiming and locking was completely covered by the song, so to him there was really no problem.

But for Lupin, who was sitting in the Mercedes-Benz SSK, the chirping alarm sounded like an air raid siren loudspeaker shouting into an ASMR instrument, and it was transmitted to his ears through a stethoscope connected to a hearing aid.

It would be impossible for anyone to sit still in that situation.

Ten minutes later, in an abandoned factory building with a rusty and leaky roof, two sports cars that had been racing against each other not long ago were parked quietly side by side.

Qin Wuque stretched out lazily in Lupin's beloved SSK, while the latter sat in his Droso, tapping on the Droso's in-car control panel with an indignant look on his face.

"You are being too dangerous. It's okay to turn down the sound of the missile tracking and locking so that it can't be heard, but why are the missiles ready as soon as you start your car? Can't you activate the attack mode when you need them?" Lupin muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Well, after all, I just asked them to bring it over from Los Santos not long ago, and I forgot to re-debug it."

Qin Wuque put his hand on the large steering wheel of the Mercedes-Benz SSK, which looked really cheap from today's perspective, and explained while feeling the unique historical atmosphere of the antique sports car.

"You should know that in a place like Los Santos, if you go downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes, you'd better bring an anti-tank rocket launcher. You can't go out without a bulletproof and explosion-proof armored vehicle."

"I agree with this point as well."

The voice came from the trunk of the SSK. The man spoke in a way that was extremely inconsistent with the current era. He was wearing the ronin costume of the shogunate era, with white bandages wrapped around his abdomen. He had medium-length black hair and a pair of snow sandals on his feet. He sat cross-legged and held a sheathed Zantetsu sword in his arms. At first glance, one would think he had walked out of the Bleach film set next door.

The 13th Ishikawa Goemon, commonly known as Ishikawa Goemon or just Goemon.

Ishikawa Goemon opened his eyes, and a cold and sharp light like the light of a sword in an Iaijutsu flashed in his eyes.

"When I passed through San Francisco and Las Vegas before, I often heard the sound of missiles bombing the neighboring cities, and I often saw several fighter jets flying in the sky."

He spoke in a low voice, and his facial expression did not change at all when he said these words, as if he was just explaining it.

"It's scary~ It's scary~"

After adjusting the default activation status of the weapon on the car's control panel with his fingertips jumping, Lupin jumped off the Droso. Seeing Qin Wuque and Conan, one big and one small, sitting in his car and talking to themselves, he couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied.

"Hey, what are you two doing sitting on my SSK? Get off quickly. You drove here too, didn't you? I have things to do here."

"what……"

Qin Wuque yawned, stretched, and turned to look.

"When you say there's something to do, do you mean contacting that employer that you guys used your script to fool around with?"

"That's right~!" Lupin said impatiently, "Since Jigen has told you, if you understand everything, then come down quickly, Fujiko-chan is still in the other party's hands."

"Wait a minute, right away..."

"Now, immediately!"

"There is one more thing." Qin Wuque ignored Lupin's urging and said to himself, "I went to meet the seller today. His attitude was very tough. He only revealed to me the fact that he had two pieces of Vesbania ore. As for other things, he didn't mention anything more."

"Isn't this normal?" Lupin disagreed. "Transactions of this nature should be kept absolutely confidential. If he reveals it casually, who would dare to do business with his family in the future?"

"But I successfully asked about their transaction location." Qin Wuque added slowly.

"……What!?"

Lupin almost thought he had heard it wrong.

If he had heard it correctly, the guy in front of him had a fever, and a high fever, and he had started talking nonsense.

"How did you... No, that's not important. What's important is where is their transaction location?" He changed the subject in time.

"It is said that it was at the airport." Qin Wuque raised his lips. "But it was not Luciano who told me. I heard it from the Italian boy he trained. It seems that the fat guy's operation method is to set the transaction location in the city of the tour, and then mix the traded goods with various tools for the concert and bring them together. I have to say that this idea is not bad, but it's a pity that the artists under him don't seem to cooperate."

"Backstabbing your own financial sponsor?" Lupin was a little speechless. "But this is also good. Did he tell you the hiding place of the transaction items?"

"No."

Qin Wuque gestured with his fingers.

"It's about this size, two pieces, and they look a bit like piano keys. They can be hidden anywhere, and you can just throw any wind instrument in there... But can this tiny thing really do anything useful?"

"So if we want to recover the ore, the most efficient way is to ambush them at the place where they trade?"

Lupin muttered, looking away, his tone calm.

"Of course, they are not very useful. I guess Luciano must have spent a lot of effort to find these two small pieces. The fist-sized one I got at that time can only be processed into a reusable EMP grenade. These two small pieces, haha, are probably just taking advantage of the information asymmetry to deceive the buyer."

"But..." He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then exhaled, "Even if it has no substantial effect, things like Vesbania Ore cannot be leaked out at will."

"Oh?"

"Once Vesbania ore is given in large quantities to any powerful country, it will instantly cause an imbalance in world military power. So in order to ensure the integrity of its territory as much as possible, Vesbania made a lot of guarantees to the United Nations after it was revealed that it possessed this ore. One of them was that no Vesbania ore would ever be put into use."

"You know how difficult this is, so many powerful countries are preparing to see Vespania make a fool of itself. Once any news of mineral leakage is confirmed, all the major countries will rush in without hesitation and occupy Vespania under the pretext of 'balancing the world's military power.'"

"The worst-case scenario is that the Vesbania royal family may lose their sovereignty and become a colony of other countries. Large areas of forests will be cut down and minerals will be mined at will. It will be no different from the destruction of the country."

Having said this, Lupin looked deeply at Qin Wuque who was still sitting in his car.

"You should understand what I mean now, right?"

"Um……"

Qin Wuque pondered for a moment, touched his chin and nodded.

“That’s kind of bad.”

¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥

Taking back what I said before, the mobile game of Sword Art Online is just a playful Blue Moon in a 2D skin. The only good thing it did was to make me re-watch episodes 1 to 14 of the first Sword Art Online series, and then buy all the novels for the Attack on Titan series.

The novel is really good.

The second update is loading~~~

Chapter 344 Akai Mary's Late-Night Wandering

The night was growing late, and since Qin Wuque was not very interested in the subsequent battle between Lupin and the buyer, after he said what he wanted to say and knew what he wanted to know, he took Conan on the Droso and left.

When it came, it was flying with sparks and lightning all the way, but when it went back, it was on all four wheels on the ground and drove back like a normal car.

Blending in the traffic in the city at night, its not-too-unique appearance prevents it from attracting too many eyes. Apart from its two-door structure, the appearance of DeLuso is almost the same as other family sedans.

Driving slowly at 60 miles per hour along a road in downtown Tokyo, the intermittently bright and dim street lights shone into the car through the soundproof window glass, casting the outline of the back of Conan's head in the passenger seat as a shadow on the dashboard, which was deformed, elongated and faded as the position of the light source changed.

This high school detective who usually talks the most and also has the most trouble is unexpectedly silent at this moment, with his head slightly lowered.

Judging from the previous conversation between Qin Wuque and Lupin the Third, he finally realized that he was the one who was kept in the dark.

Only he foolishly believed that it was Kidd who committed the crime tonight, and foolishly ran to try to "hunt down the criminal", but was almost blown up halfway, and only in the end did he realize that they had already colluded with each other.

The comments here should be filled with clowns or outsiders.

"So...what is your plan with Lupin and his gang?" Conan asked in a low voice.

"Don't ask. If you ask, knowing too much will do you no good."

Qin Wuque slumped in the seat, holding the steering wheel with one hand and speaking lazily.

"You usually use an anesthetic needle and a voice-changing bow tie to pretend to be your father-in-law to solve cases and satisfy your own desire for reasoning. It's better not to get involved in this kind of thing. It's very dangerous."

He thought for a moment and added.

"He's going to die."

"…What if I say I must get involved?" Conan raised his head, his eyes as bright and stubborn as ever.

He opened his mouth slowly and began to analyze.

"According to the information from your conversation just now, it should be that the man named Luciano got the ore and wanted to sell it to another person. Although you didn't specify the transaction location, I can roughly analyze it. Is it at Haneda Airport?"

"Yeah, and then what?" Qin Wuque couldn't deny it. He shrugged and said, "But you don't know the time."

"No, I know." Conan smiled slightly. "Although you didn't say the time explicitly, or even mentioned it, you still revealed it to me from between the lines, or rather, from his personal information that you revealed to me."

"Go on."

"You mentioned the words tour and Italian young talent before, including musical instruments and so on. As far as I know, there is only one music group that will hold a concert in Tokyo soon, and it happens to be from Italy, the star singer named Emilio."

Conan became more and more excited as he spoke. He subconsciously raised his head with a confident smile on his face.

"And according to what you said before, Luciano is the investor of this touring team. He hid the transaction items in the touring team's equipment for transportation. So he must have hidden the transaction items in the music equipment that will not be used in the concert. And if he also intends to conduct the transaction in a way that is not easy to be noticed, then there is only one time to conduct the transaction..."

"Okay, okay, I admit that what you said is right." Qin Wuque interrupted him helplessly, "But there is a problem you haven't considered. Even if you know, what can you do? What I said before was to prevent you from getting involved in these things, not to prevent you from knowing the time, place and items of other people's transactions."

"Of course I have a way." Conan said subconsciously.

"What can you do?"

Qin Wuque glanced at him.

"Relying on those FBI agents your father knows? Stop it, okay? They can't even apply for armed assistance in Japan, and now Akai Shuichi is gone... I'm not saying they are really that bad, but don't you realize that your relationship with them is like that of Tang Monk, the monkey, the pig, and the water monster in Journey to the West?"

"You can't say that the pigs and the water monster are really useless, but if there were no monkeys, Tang Seng wouldn't even survive three episodes with just the pigs and the water monster."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand and flicked Conan's head lightly between his eyebrows, still causing the latter to stagger back.

"Be honest, this is not something you can get involved in. Detective, just focus on solving cases and being a mental worker, at least until your body suffers irreparable damage."

……

At the same time, in the Sakura Hotel.

Masumi Sera opened her eyes dazedly in the darkness. The only light in her field of vision was the LED light of the air conditioner in the bedroom. The strong bloating in her lower abdomen caused by eating half a watermelon before going to bed forced her to leave the comfortable bed.

She groped the wall in a daze and turned on the light switch. The bright light immediately dispelled the darkness in the room.

When getting out of bed, Masumi Sera, who was only wearing shorts and a sports vest, accidentally glanced at the bed next to him, only to find that his mother, who should have been sleeping soundly in the quilt as usual, had left at some point, leaving behind a messy quilt that he had not had time to tidy up after he lifted it up.

Could it be that mom also went to the bathroom?

Masumi Sera guessed in his mind and staggered out of the bedroom door, holding on to the edge of the bed.

The main reason was that in her memory, her mother seemed to have eaten two bites of watermelon before going to bed. So it was very likely that she got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

She pushed open the door, walked out of the bedroom and came to the corridor of the suite. The familiar bathroom was just across the corridor, just two steps away.

But Sera Masumi stopped as soon as she stepped out of the room.

She turned her head to the left and saw a familiar figure sitting in the dark at the tea table near the balcony where she, Qin Wuque and Yuanzi Xiaolan had had afternoon tea together yesterday. The bright moonlight shining in from the floor-to-ceiling window outlined the graceful curves of her body.

He seemed to be holding a teacup in his hand.

"Mom?" Sera Masumi called out tentatively.

The next second, a familiar faint response from Akai Mary came from the darkness.

"Ah."

Sera Masumi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the voice: "Mom, why aren't you sleeping so late?"

"I can't sleep." Akai Mary paused, "Maybe it's because I came back too late last night, so I got up late this morning, and my sleep and rest routine was disrupted. That's why I said it's very troublesome to adjust once your sleep and rest routine is disrupted. Okay, Zhenchun, go to the bathroom and go back to sleep. Mom will sit here for a while and then she will go to sleep too."

"Oh……"

The pressure from the bladder left Sera Masumi no time to think. She hurried into the bathroom, pulled down her pants and sat down.
