Model worker and his little darling

"Brother Pingqing, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just think the name of the garden sounds a bit strange in Chinese." After saying that, she glanced at Pu Siqinglan.

Sonoko nodded. "I think so too."

After exchanging a glance with He Pingqing, Pu Siqinglan's expression changed slightly. In an instant, she put on a polite smile again.

interesting!

Natsumi Kosaka looked at Aoran Urashi and said, "Miss Aoran looks to be about my age. I'm 27 this year."

Pu Siqinglan nodded, "Me too, my birthday is May 5th."

"My birthday is May 3rd, just two days apart, what a coincidence!"

While eating cake, Conan blurted out, "You two are only one day apart from me!"

A casual remark shocked Xiaolan, who was standing nearby.

May 4th is Shinichi Kudo's birthday!

Is it a coincidence? Could it be that Conan is Shinichi?

Thinking of this, Ran shook her head. She had seen Conan and Shinichi appear together before; Conan and Shinichi were two different people. It must be because she's been thinking about Shinichi a lot lately that she's acting like this.

Conan and Natsumi Kosaka were having a great time chatting and didn't notice Ran's unusual behavior at all.

Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, Pu Siqinglan suggested, "Why don't we go to the deck to watch the sunset?"

Upon reaching the deck, I saw Uncle Mori and Shiro Suzuki enjoying a drink.

The addition of the two beautiful women enhanced the scenery, and the uncle was thoroughly entertained.

“Mr. Han Chuan, your necklace…”

Han Chuanlong smiled smugly, "As expected of a researcher of the Romanov dynasty, would you like to take a look?"

After examining Han Chuanlong's necklace, she asked, "Maria, is this the ring of Tsar Nicholas II's third daughter?"

"If you say so, then it is."

After showing off, Han Chuanlong left the deck, and everyone on deck saw everything clearly.

Night falls.

Hirakiyo, who was playing on his phone in his room, heard someone banging on the door frantically. He went out to check and saw it was Nishino.

"Mr. Mori, something terrible has happened. Mr. Kankawa has died in his room."

When they arrived at the scene, they found the room ransacked, with feathers everywhere and the ring nowhere to be found.

Soon, Inspector Megure arrived with his men in a helicopter.

Upon seeing his old acquaintance, Uncle Mori, Inspector Megure felt deeply annoyed and began his usual rant.

"It's true, why is it that wherever you are, there are always cases happening?"

"I think this is God's will."

Officer Shiratori joked with a smile, "You should say that Mr. Mori himself is a god, and a death god at that."

The group sat together, waiting for the police to question them.

Ping Qing glanced at Pu Siqinglan, a smirk playing on her lips. She was quick to act.

Pu Siqing crossed her legs, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly as she thought about what she had found out.

Such a dangerous person, pretending to be harmless, lurking around Kogoro Mouri—it's truly intriguing. Perhaps she should learn from him and investigate the secrets behind it all.

Their eyes met, and a flash of swords filled the air.

"Hmm? Pingqing, are you and Qinglan exchanging glances?"

Hearing Sonoko's words, Hirakiyo choked for a moment. Where was the flirting? If it weren't for their respective purposes, they would have already started fighting.

"You've misunderstood. Besides, we've never even spoken, so there's no affection involved."

Sonoko asked in confusion, "Really?"

"Of course."

"What if it's because you think she's pretty..."

"You're overthinking it. She's beautiful, but I'm handsome."

I never realized you were such a narcissist.

Not participating in Conan's crime-solving adventures, Hirai and Sonoko chatted casually.

until--

"Inspector Megure, have you ever heard of Scorpion? He's the one who specializes in stealing treasures from the Romanov dynasty, and he's also a bad guy who specializes in shooting people in the right eye."

Upon hearing this, Pu Siqing gave Conan a deep look before finally lowering her head.

"Now that you mention it, there is indeed such a wanted robber internationally. Ah! Could it be that this time the criminal is…"

Conan nodded. "I think it must be him. He's the one who sniped Kid."

"Conan, how do you know about Scorpion?"

Seeing Ran's curious gaze, Conan was about to play dumb.

"It was Professor Agasa who told him."

Hearing Officer Shiratori's words, Conan was startled and realized he had been careless.

Then he realized that the secret in the fortune slip would be revealed. Could it be that Officer Shiratori knew his identity?

With Conan's constant prompting, Uncle Mori uncovered the truth of the matter.

And so, Conan was frantically testing the limits of his abilities, and Ran, who hadn't thought much of it at first, began to look at Conan with increasingly strange eyes.

Ran was filled with doubts, so she decided to observe Conan closely.

"Brother Pingqing, do you know anything about Scorpion?"

Seeing Conan insisting on coming to his room, Hirai shook his head, "I've only heard about her. After all, she's not my mission target."

Conan sighed, "It's too dangerous to have someone like that lurking around. We need to find him as soon as possible."

“I didn’t notice anyone acting strangely just now. He’s definitely after the Egg of Memories. We’ll have to be careful in the castle.”

"Well, I see."

The two discussed it for a long time but didn't come to any conclusions, so Conan was called back to bed by Ran.

In the dead of night, Pingqing left the cruise ship.

……

Looking at the German-style castle in front of them, everyone exclaimed in amazement.

"What a beautiful castle!"

"It looks like a castle in Germany, modeled after Cinderella Castle."

At that moment, Professor Agasa arrived with the four little ones.

Seeing Conan put on the glasses the professor handed him, Hirai looked away. He kept a low profile and silently followed the others into the castle.

Uncle Mori thoughtfully instructed that the door be locked so that the children wouldn't come in.

Led by the butler of the Kousaka Natsumi family, the group toured the castle rooms one by one.

As he was looking around, Qian Jiangyi suddenly asked for directions to the restroom.

Seeing Qianjiang run into the next room, Pingqing secretly followed him.

With his exceptional experience, he quickly found a safe inside the wall.

He then took out a toolbox from his backpack, which contained a full set of lock-picking tools. He successfully pried open the safe, which was filled with a bunch of bling-bling jewelry.

Qian Jiang was extremely excited, but as soon as he touched the jewel, he fell into the castle's trap.

Before Qianjiang could even cry for help, Pingqing had already drugged him.

Then, the muzzle of the gun, fitted with a silencer, was pointed at Qian Jiangyi's right eye.

Pingqing carefully collected the jewels and quietly returned behind the group, overjoyed. Since the castle was going to be destroyed by fire anyway, these treasures would be his for the taking.
