NOVEL NEXT Chapter 672, Boy
Chapter 672 ______, boy
"Excuse me, Ms. Riko, could you tell me how you got into the room?"
After briefly learning that there was a new helper who could act in the princess's appearance, the first thing Gis expressed was not gratitude or doubt, but deep confusion about how Mine Riko had bypassed the hotel's security and the double protection of the Royal Guard to enter the princess's room.
This means that if Mine Riko was an assassin and without the protection of Martin and others, Princess Mira would have been killed eight hundred times already.
In addition, Princess Mira escaped alone once, and Martin and Kuroba Kaito mysteriously disappeared with Princess Mira once. The protection of the Royal Guard has become a sieve and is completely ineffective.
"Riko doesn't know anything. It just happened when Riko closed her eyes and opened them again." Mine Riko didn't reveal Martin's superpowers, but she was too lazy to help Martin make up excuses, so she just played the game of not knowing anything.
With no other choice, Gis left his speech to Princess Mira and left. Although they would return to Vespania on the royal plane after the press conference, Gis was unwilling to give up and planned to patrol a few more times to find out where the loophole was.
……
"Riko, are you a normal person?" Princess Mira put her hands on Mine Riko's shoulders and asked very seriously.
"Of course, Riko is a normal person who is as normal as can be." Riko, the S-rank Buteimine who has super powers, said as a matter of course.
"That's great! You can attend the press conference for that guy!" Princess Mira pleaded, then turned to Martin and stuck out her tongue and made a face: "Slightly--!"
……
As the saying goes, it is common sense that there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings. The Five Color Team will always add a black sixth person in the later stage. Five princesses were exposed at yesterday's banquet, so it was enough to have five princesses appear at the press conference. Now the extra sixth princess is just hidden, which can catch the opponent off guard.
Therefore, Martin did not get the opportunity to perform on stage at the press conference. Instead, he sat in the audience and listened to Princess Mira reciting the speech that Giss had prepared for her overnight with passion and emotion, like a primary school student reciting a text, while whispering to Kogoro Mori who was sitting next to him.
Maori Kogoro: "Boy, after the press conference, Xiaolan can go home, right?"
Martin: "Why does Xiaolan want to go home?"
The two of them were like spies meeting each other. They didn't look at each other when they spoke. One looked up and the other looked down, but their eyes were fixed on Xiaolan who was sitting next to the princess on the stage... They thought it must be Xiaolan's person.
Maori Kogoro became alert: "What do you mean?"
Martin: "The Vespania royal family needs to find a strong female bodyguard for the queen, and Princess Mira also needs a best friend. The conditions they offer Xiaolan are the same generous living conditions as the princess. Oji-san, do you think Xiaolan will choose to be a princess with luxury cars and BMWs, or choose to go home and take care of a stinky drunk dad?"
Maori Kogoro was startled, but then he raised the corner of his mouth proudly: "You still don't understand Xiaolan, she is not that kind of child."
During the time when this guy was traveling far away, Xiaolan didn't come home overnight once! Not once! This proves that Xiaolan didn't come home from time to time because she was led astray by this guy. Xiaolan doesn't hate me drinking at all... At least it has nothing to do with me drinking!
"I have already said what I want to say. If Oji-san doesn't believe it, it is not my business."
Martin glanced sideways at Kogoro Mori.
In the original plot, it was because it was Geese who forcibly abducted Mori Ran to Vesponia as a substitute for the princess, that the anxious Mori Kogoro jumped up and down and followed Zenigata Koichi, who was tracking down Lupin the Third, to Vesponia.
Now Xiaolan decided to go to Vesponia to help Princess Mira. She called Maori Kogoro after the banquet last night to report that she was safe. In addition, Martin was with her. Martin speculated that Maori Kogoro would be worried after learning of Xiaolan's decision, but he would not be so anxious to chase her to Vesponia.
At least Martin is very confident in his reliable image.
Anyway, there was no important position left for Maori Kogoro in Martin's script, so it didn't matter whether he went to Vesponia or not. On the contrary, Conan... "By the way, where's the great detective? Didn't he come?"
The last time Martin saw Conan seemed to be before the assassination. Could this guy just go home and do nothing?
"The guy was still here before I entered the venue. I don't know where he went now. I hope he doesn't cause me trouble again." Kogoro Mouri muttered with an unhappy look on his face.
Martin looked up, glanced around, and raised his eyebrows.
The great detective didn't find it, but the little thief did discover one.
In order to protect Xiaolan and Aoko, reporters were not allowed to bring cameras to the press conference.
But in a corner of the venue, someone was secretly using a thumb-sized spy camera to take photos of the five princesses on the stage. There was a 20% chance that it was a disobedient reporter, and an 80% chance that it was a spy for Duke Girard.
Martin stood up and left along the edge of the venue, looking like he was going to the bathroom, but in fact he was taking a detour to get closer to the person who was taking the photos.
Today he has transformed into Kinji Toyama, just a small E-level martial arts detective. The combat effectiveness of an E-level martial arts detective is very weak, and he can only beat ordinary people. The only weapons he has are a modified Beretta M92F pistol and a butterfly knife.
Without considering other criteria and only looking at combat power, in the Scarlet Dan universe, Maori Kogoro would probably get a C-level rating with his bare hands, and if he could still display his youthful ability of hitting the target with a pistol, he should be able to reach B-level. The combat power of an A-level Butei is that one person can wipe out a small squad; and an S-level is that one person can wipe out an entire squadron.
The voyeur was very alert. He noticed Martin when he was five steps away from him. He turned around without hesitation, pushed aside the incompetent bodyguard of the Royal Guard and ran into the corridor.
Martin immediately followed in.
The voyeur looked back from time to time while running away and saw Martin getting closer and closer to him. Although Martin was disguised as a princess at this time, he wore a baseball cap and a mask to cover his face.
Seeing that the pursuer was a female who was wearing a high school uniform and looked quite young, the voyeur gritted his teeth and when he was about to be caught up, he suddenly turned around and bumped into the pursuer.
Martin immediately used a grappling move on him as well.
The voyeur showed a trace of struggle and ferocity in his eyes. He took out a mini pistol and put it against Martin's stomach when he was about to be captured. This is a spy pistol without a barrel, and accuracy can only be guaranteed by shooting at close range.
"Go to hell!" He pulled the trigger.
Bang! The sound of a gunshot.
Bang! The sound of Martin pinning the voyeur to the ground using the grappling technique he had just learned.
"You..." The other party looked at Martin in disbelief.
After tying the man's hands behind his back, Martin stood up and gently patted the gunpowder burn marks on his stomach. If it was a machine gun, he would have to consider the impact force, but this kind of spy weapon with limited power felt lighter than a punch.
The bullet fell to the ground with a ping-pong sound under the incredulous gaze of the voyeur, and the burn marks on the clothes completely disappeared after Martin patted them.
"Bulletproof school uniform, kid."
