After discussing the specific plan, it was already afternoon, and everyone parted for the time being, waiting for the final moment of the evening.

Among them, Fujiko Mine was called to his room by Count Chis.

"Miss Fujiko, this time Her Royal Highness the princess is really troublesome to you."

Sitting on the sofa, Count Chiss pushed all the large boxes of banknotes in front of him in front of Mine Fujiko.

"You're welcome, this is my job after all~"

Mine Fujiko accepted all the banknotes with a smile and looked in a good mood.

"Moreover, I actually didn't help too much, Mr. Earl should mainly thank little Chriss~"

These things are the reward for the agreement between her and Count Chiss to bring Princess Mira back to the Kingdom of Besbania safely.

After all, Fujiko Mine is the woman who likes money in the world.

"I understand." Count Chiss smiled and nodded, and asked:

"Is cash all right? If Miss Fujiko is not willing, we can actually ...... transfers and checks."

"Ahh

"That's ......"

The Count of Chiss asked no more questions, but asked about Princess Mira.

"So...... Did the princess have fun in Tokyo this time? ”

"Of course, like a child, I played from night to day, and I had a lot of fun." Fujiko Mine's tone softened a little.

"Yes, that's fine......" Hearing her answer, Count Chis's face couldn't help but show a smile.

"And the kid seems to have grown a lot."

Looking at Mr. Earl in front of him, Feng Fujiko spoke in a serious tone.

"She may not be a good politician, but at least for Besbania, I think she would make a good king."

"I lend you good words."

Count Chis immediately stood up and bowed to Mine Fujiko.

"Ahh

Feng Fujiko hurriedly got up to avoid it, and at the same time lifted the big box full of money at his feet, and said with a smile:

"Then, please allow me to leave for a while~ Please rest assured, I will definitely come back in the evening."

"Okay."

Count Chis didn't think much of it, just thought that Feng Fujiko was looking for a place to store the box of money.

However, is that really all there really is?

“……”

"Uh-huh~"

After leaving Count Chis's room, Fujiko Mine's face was full of happiness, and she even hummed a song in a low voice.

"Lupin~This time I won again~"

A sentence came out of his mouth that made people a little confused, and Fujiko Mine, who was full of happiness, didn't even notice Shirakawa Jing and Princess Mira, who had just come out of the gun hangar.

"Chrissy, isn't this shotgun the one my brother used when he hunted before?"

Looking at the shotgun in Bai Hejing's hand, the expression on Princess Mira's face was a little ugly.

After leaving the conference room, Bai Hajing said that she wanted to come to the gun hangar to find some evidence, so she came along.

The Kingdom of Besbania has strict regulations on firearms, even if you are a member of the royal family, you must go through strict registration if you want to use guns, and you can't use them casually.

After the hunting accident that led to the murder of both the former queen and the eldest prince half a month ago, the Earl of Chith, who was aware of the possible conspiracy, immediately sealed the shotgun used by the eldest prince during the hunt, as well as the shotgun and pistol of Duke Kilard, who was at the scene at the time, in this gun arsenal, and no one was allowed to use it without permission.

Thanks to this, Bai Hejing was able to find the most crucial evidence.

"Your Highness, this is not the shotgun used by His Royal Highness the Great Prince."

Just opened the shotgun and looked at the bullets inside, Bai Hejing was sure of his answer.

"Huh? No? But ......"

"The one in your hand is the shotgun that His Royal Highness the Great Prince really used when he was alive."

Princess Mira also has a shotgun in her hand, which is exactly the same model as the one in Shirakawa Jing's hand, and the only difference between the two is that they are labeled with the names of the Grand Prince and Duke Kirard.

Her words completely confused Princess Mira.

Obviously, the shotgun in her hand was marked with the name of Duke Kirard, but why did Chrissy say it......

"At that time...... Well? ”

As soon as Bai Hejing wanted to explain, he suddenly noticed the Fujiko Feng who was walking towards the outside of the palace with a happy face in the corridor next to him.

"Goodbye~Lupin~"

Vaguely hearing the words from Feng Fujiko's mouth, Bai Hejing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then as if he suddenly thought of something, he hurriedly chased forward.

[That woman, should they be ...... again]

"Your Highness, please wait a moment......"

"Huh? Chris? What's wrong? ”

"I'm going to catch a thief."

“……”

At the same moment, in the underground chamber of the royal palace, Lupin III, who did not know when he had infiltrated here, was tiptoeing down the metal corridor and approaching the room at the very end.

That's right, this is where the Queen's Crown, the secret treasure of the Kingdom of Besbania, is located.

And he, Lupin III, the legendary thief of the world, is now coming to claim the crown!

Although we are now in a partnership, but! That doesn't stop me, Lupin III, from stealing your things!

"Huh?"

However, as soon as he got close to this room, Lupin III discovered a strange place.

"Why? Will the door to the room be open? Hawkers, no matter, the legendary thief is coming in~"

With a smile, Lupin III, who didn't think much about it, took out a bottle of spray on his body and rushed into the room with a whoosh.

"Haha! Pick up! Sleep spray! Just kidding, it's just ...... Huh? ”

After entering, the place that surprised Lupin III again appeared.

I saw that the soldiers guarding the control room were already lying on the table snoring, unconscious?

"Huh? Why did you fall asleep? ”

Even the door of the treasure house on the side is open......

"Why is the door open?"

Only the Queen's Crown, which had been stored inside, was gone......

"Why is the treasure gone?!"

Lupin III had the face of an old man in the subway.

"What? Wouldn't the secret weapon I've worked so hard to create make no sense?! ”

Angrily, he took out from his trouser pocket the metal ball he had created with the mysterious ore he had created last night in order to steal the Queen's Crown, which could block all electronic signals when activated.

"Huh?!"

But for some reason, the metal ball that was supposed to be in his pants pocket turned into an ordinary baseball.

At this moment, Lupin III seemed to finally understand something, and his eyes widened.

"I'm sorry~Lupin~"

Suddenly, as if to confirm his suspicions, a voice familiar to him sounded on the windowsill of the control room beside him.

"I'm sorry~Lupin~"

It was a doll figure of Fujiko Mine sitting in a duck position, and at the moment he was shaking and emitting an apologetic electronic sound at him.

"I'm sorry~Lupin~"

"Do you say, do you say ......?"

Looking at this doll villain, Lupin III's expression was incredulous.

"I'm sorry~Lupin~I'm sorry~Lupin~"

The villain's apologetic voice became faster and faster, and finally accompanied by a rapid dripping sound, it exploded with a bang, and then burst out with a strong air current, directly blowing Lupin III's whole person into the secret room where there was no crown.

"Wow~"

"Drop! Drip! ”

In the next moment, the infrared device reacted immediately, and countless metal fence gates instantly turned Lupin III into a turtle in an urn.

"Ahaha...... I've completely fallen into the trap......"

Rising from the ground with a disgraced face, Lupin III smiled wryly.

How could he not understand that he was being calculated by Feng Fujiko again, that woman must have taken his metal ball last night, and then came here before him to take the queen's crown.

But it doesn't matter, as a legendary thief, Lupin the Third also has his own companions, in this case, just call a partner to support.

"Oh, no, neither Daisuke nor Goemon are here now......"

But as soon as he picked up his phone, Lupin III had a bitter face.

"What! Isn't there even a partner who can help?! Ah, no, it looks like there's a new partner......"

As if suddenly thinking of someone, Lupin III hurriedly dialed the number.

"Hello? That, Chriss-chan, is me~"
