Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 282: The Ghost of the Crystal Palace (Part 2)

At this time, the angry voice of the White Crow Duke was heard: "You losers, can't you even catch a weak puppet? Shoot, shoot!"

Seeing the robot running into the botanical garden, Duke White Crow immediately sent people with fire axes to cut down the bushes and branches blocking the way.

Hearing the noise, the three Broken Wheel brothers poked their heads out of the tree hole and said, "Wow, what's that noise?"

Xiaolan saw this scene from a distance and said, "Oh no! Those three children are still inside!"

Duke White Crow was extremely angry: "Where did these three little ghosts come from? Are you the ghost's accomplice? Guards, shoot! Shoot!"

Yuanzi was also shocked: "Hey, they are just a few children!"

The Savage was also stunned: "But Duke, there is no evidence that these three children are related to the ghost incident. Besides, how can we shoot at children..."

"Shut up!" Duke White Crow snatched the gun from the other guard nearby. "If I can't get the Koh-i-Noor, I'm done! Get out of my way!"

Conan immediately used the inflatable football on his belt and shot it hard at the Duke of White Crow's gun-holding hand.

Unexpectedly, Duke White Crow was extremely alert at this time. He turned around and shot the football, and the bullet hit the floor directly in front of Conan.

"Go away! Go away! I'm shooting!" Duke White Crow waved his pistol to threaten the approaching crowd.

Seeing that Conan was almost shot, Maori Kogoro also became serious: "This guy..."

At the same time, at the entrance of the botanical garden, a crackling sound suddenly rang out. Dr. Agasa, Xiaolan and Sonoko, who were far away, looked towards the source of the sound.

It turned out that it was the Crying Clown (Cannonball Spaceship) who ignited the metal rocket launcher prop and quickly ran to the side to cover his ears.

The toy seller nearby saw that there were still several people within the range of the rocket and quickly warned them: "Scatter! Scatter!"

Xiaolan quickly pulled Sonoko to one side, and Professor Agasa also ran to the bushes on the other side. As the rocket's fuse burned out, with a whoosh, the rocket crashed straight into the direction of the White Crow Duke.

Just as Kogoro Mouri and Conan were about to take action, they saw a large bazooka flying over and exploding in front of Duke White Crow, creating a large firework.

[Novelist: Thanks again to Lucky for providing the deduction stand-in, which saved me from taking a direct hit from a rocket launcher.]

[Crying Clown: You usually eat a lot.]

[Novelist: Ah! Jack, can't you be a little gentler?]

[Broken Wheel: Hey, just ask Miss Nightingale to delete the flywheel sometime.]

[Knight: But actually, even without the flywheel, Nightmare's behavior is quite predictable. (Raises sword)]

[Puppeteer: Indeed.]

[Fire Investigator: Speaking of which, Matthias and Richard, you haven't been teaming up with me lately. You've all gone to see Miss Wendy. Why is that?]

[Puppeteer: Miss Wendy's Rain Cloud can cooperate with me. After all, Miss Ada didn't want to team up with me for some reason.]

[Ms. Farrow: Some of the reasons were Emil throwing a tantrum and begging Ada not to team up with Mathias.]

[Knight: Is that really necessary? Everyone knows you're in a relationship, yet you're still jealous?]

[Perfumer: Haha, when Emil first came to the manor, he wouldn't even repair machines that the other female survivors had touched.]

[Antique dealer: You're just jealous.]

[Patient: Ada, please don't leave me~ (crying puppy.jpg)]

[Psychologist: Okay, okay, I’ll stay with you~]

[Puppeteer: It's so hard to find someone who can complement me.]

[Bartender: Hey, if I hadn't teamed up with Jose and the others a long time ago, I could help you.]

[Ms. Farrow: It's okay, Matthias, we can still survive a game without any coordination.]

[Puppeteer: With Florian here, I can't see where the "Gan" is.]

[Knight: Florian, when he's not being chased, he's just deploying airbags everywhere and causing havoc. When he's being chased, he turns into a loud speaker and asks me to run with him. I can't hold it in any longer.]

[Fire Investigator: But at least I can run three machines reliably.]

[Ms. Farrow: You're no better than Gangi without his ball.]

[Batter: Why is it my business?]

Taking advantage of the moment when Duke White Crow waved his hand to disperse the smoke, Kogoro Maori threw Duke White Crow to the ground with his gun, and immediately kicked the gun away.

Duke White Crow struggled to stand up, but his hands were firmly clamped by Kogoro Mori.

"Ahhh, Mountain of Light! My Mountain of Light!" Duke White Crow shouted unwillingly as he watched the robot disappear into the bushes in the distance.

The toy dealer wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Phew, luckily the prop department still has some usable props left. How about this rocket? It's pretty good, isn't it?"

The prisoner coughed twice and said, "Next time you set off firecrackers, remember to remind me first. I almost went deaf."

At this time, the gardener knocked on the gate of the botanical garden: "Hey, Mr. Qiu Ke, we found the fireworks you mentioned in the Duke's office. Come and take them back."

The batsman followed behind and complained, "But the remaining gunpowder has not been found yet, so don't take it lightly."

The gravekeeper held up the drilling machine and looked at Duke White Crow. "He can't possibly be trying to sell the gunpowder from those fireworks."

The meteorologist fiddled with the weather vane on his head and said, "How is that possible? Who would deliberately dismantle fireworks and sell only the gunpowder inside?"

Madame Red also stepped forward at this time: "Mr. Duke, it seems that you have completely failed."

Duke White Crow knelt on the ground and looked at Madam Red with hatred: "Don't be complacent. Without the Koh-i-Noor, the Crystal Palace now has one last use for me!"

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Duke White Crow took out a lighter and lit a fuse hidden in the bushes nearby.

"Haha! I've already put the gunpowder in an abandoned shop next to the fireworks store. The textile shop is above that shop. Also, I've buried a lot of gunpowder in the soil of this botanical garden. If there's even a spark, the botanical garden will turn into a sea of ​​fire."

"I bought a fire insurance policy for the Crystal Palace at a high price long ago. If it's destroyed by fire, I can use the insurance money to make a comeback!"

The meteorologist frowned. "Looks like there's more work to do, Mr. Andrew. Please immediately clear the weeds here and bury the soil mixed with gunpowder deeper!"

The gravekeeper looked at the botanical garden, which was as big as a basketball court. "Ah? Me alone?"

The batsman immediately rushed to the fireworks store on the first floor: "Hurry up, otherwise the Crystal Palace will really be destroyed by the fire! Now all we can do is isolate all combustibles and flammable materials."

The factory director asked the gardener to stay with Xiaolan and the others, and went upstairs to move the flammable textiles.

At this time, Conan heard the crackling sound of sparks exploding. He looked back and saw that a spark was burning rapidly along a fuse and moving towards the distance. Presumably, the end of the fuse was soil mixed with gunpowder.

"Mr. Andrew, come this way first. The fuse is going this way! There's still time to deal with the gunpowder!"

In the chaos, Conan grabbed the gravekeeper's hand and ran with him in the direction where the fuse extended.
