Chapter 247 ONE

After some aftermath of the incident, Dad drove Ran and Conan home, and I stayed with Shiho by going to the doctor's house to help him complete the new game test. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info said goodbye to Shiratori, that is, Kaito, before leaving, I also told him to go to my house to pick up the pigeon, and help the detective solve the trouble, who knows what will happen tonight, but, as long as Kaito appears in front of Xiaolan as Kudo Shinichi, I believe that Xiaolan's suspicion of Conan will disappear in an instant, as for why, who made Xiaolan such a simple silly girl.

Sitting in the doctor's Tesla, Shiho and the children and I went all the way back to the doctor's house, and the children also went back to their respective homes after getting off the bus due to time constraints, leaving Shiho and me at the doctor's house.

"Then again, Kaoru-chan. "The doctor is a little embarrassed. "This time you're using me as a shield because you think... ”

"Take Xiao Wai out to have fun. "I'm under the guise of it. "Don't look at our rich knowledge reserves, but in fact, Xiao Ai and I don't enjoy much in this aspect of life, it's hard to come out, take advantage of the night, I want to take Xiao Ai to see more night scenes. ”

"Hmm... That's right. Okay, I'll help you get through it, but don't be too late. I have class tomorrow. ”

"Hey hey~ Then let's go. ”

"Be careful all the way. The doctor said kindly. Then I pulled Shiho out of the gate, and marked the car at the door and drove all the way.

"So, are you going back to Yokosuka now?" Shiho looked out the window as he sat in the passenger seat.

"Well, let's go home first. I said calmly to Shiho. "I'm going to take Ah Xue and them, of course, you can also go and stay in the villa to rest. ”

"No, I'll go with you. Shiho thought for a moment with a frown. "It's just, tomb robbing... ”

"It's not the first time. I shrugged my shoulders meaninglessly. "I'm sure I'm not going to sell the treasures in the castle, but the treasures buried in the tomb are already ownerless. ”

"But, that kind of funeral goods should belong to Miss Kasaka, right?, and how can you be so sure that there is a treasure there?" Shiho said lightly.

"Theoretically, you can say that, but if we don't dig up, we'll never know if it's empty or not. And I really don't think there will be no treasure in that kind of building. A wicked smile hung over my lips. "If there really is a treasure, I will leave something meaningful to Kasaka. The rest... I'm not kind enough to help someone hunt for treasure. ”

When Shiho learned what I thought, he turned to look out the window. I didn't say much, because she also knew my temper, and once she decided something, she wouldn't change it. Besides, this kind of ill-gotten wealth has long been commonplace for Kaoru, and when he was crazy about doing tasks in the organization, that guy picked those fat sheep to start. I'm already not surprised.

As we walked all the way, we soon came to our apartment. The three sisters of the Ning family, who had already said hello, had also been waiting in front of the door for a long time.

"Are you ready?" I asked Ning Xue as soon as I entered.

"Yes, Mr. Minya. Ning Xue nodded slightly. "Optical detectors, infrared detectors. Metal detectors. Night vision goggles, body armor, respirators, gas masks, bombs, tinder. And guns and daggers, we are all prepared. ”

"Oh, don't you have a Luoyang shovel and black donkey hooves?" I teased.

"Eh? that's... What?" Ning Xue was slightly stunned.

"Hey, nothing. I'm laughing. I shrugged. "Prepare yourself and set off in five minutes. ”

"Yes. ”

"Yes. ”

"Yes. ”

After giving the order to the three girls, I turned to Shiho again. "Oh Shiho again, are you sure you want to come with us? ”

"I've read some suspenseful stories about tombs, but how can those mechanisms, zombies and all that happen, and what's so weird. Shiho scolded me angrily.

"There are definitely no zombies, but not necessarily the mechanism. I smiled, "Although this kind of treasure left to future generations should not carry any dangerous mechanisms, but be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." So, Shiho, are you going to go with you?"

"I... After some struggle, Shiho stomped his foot, took my hand, and walked out angrily, it seems that this girl is still a little afraid of such a gloomy place as the tomb.

So, after Shiho made his decision, I drove the group to Yokosuka, the castle of the Kasaka family.

―――――――――――― Detective Conan's theatrical version of the magician at the end of the century――――――――――

We didn't say anything along the way, because that was my order, and before we arrived, we all had to close our eyes and rest, and if we couldn't sleep, we had to close our eyes and recuperate. In order to ensure that after arriving at the place, you can have enough energy to face all the conditions inside. Of course, as a driving person, I naturally don't have this treatment, but I am used to such things, so I naturally will not be in bad spirits because of a few hours of driving.

At four o'clock in the morning, we arrived at the castle of the Kasaka family in Yokosuka. In the dead of night, I have to say that going up the mountain is still a very scary thing, but fortunately, Shiho is in a state of fake sleep at the moment. Didn't look out the window.

The car stopped halfway up the mountain, I woke everyone up, and then we had to climb up with night vision goggles on our own, although I could also kill it with great fanfare, but after all, it was Kasaka who had a relationship, and I really couldn't find a reason to attack her.

In about twenty minutes, the end of the sky was already showing some faint light. If it weren't for the long distance, we wouldn't have wasted this time.

Ordered Ning Xue and the three of them to take Shiho from the tower outside the castle first, and walked the path into the underground tomb, and I quietly touched the castle alone. Because of the discovery of her grandmother's remains, Kasaka and her butler stayed at the castle to facilitate the burial of the burial. And as the time approached this point, I had to go up to the castle first and put a hypnotic gas in their room to put them into a deep sleep. After finishing the process, I sneaked out of the castle and went to the underground tomb where Shiho and the others were.

"How's it going?" he said, holding a glow stick for lighting. I made my way to the depths of the tomb, where the third princess Mary slept.

"Mr. Minya, there is nothing here but bones. "The night vision goggles were removed, and the snow lit the menorah in the burial chamber.

"Ah, this is the place where Kiichi places the egg of memory, there shouldn't be any dangerous mechanism, I think, the design of the mechanism should be after the memory, and the wealth left to future generations will be revealed. I thought. "After all, when we came here before, the light of the egg automatically converged before the flashlight went out, that is, it should have stopped automatically with the photometer, as for the reason, I think it may have something to do with the treasure. ”

"But, those two eggs should be there by now ... Oh, I forgot, you just went to the castle. Seeing me grinning and taking the two eggs out of my arms, Shiho lowered his eyes and laughed slightly. "So, what are we going to do next? Mr. Explorer?"

"I don't know... But let's start with the memories. With that, I beckoned to Ning Xue and motioned for her to bring the flashlight. After taking the flashlight again, I fixed it to the raised platform and placed the egg on the platform again. Soon, the magical scene that appeared in front of everyone's eyes today came into our eyes again. Looking at the increasingly shining egg of memories in front of them and the photos reflected in the dome, the three sisters of the Ning family couldn't help but be amazed by this ghostly work of art.

After a few minutes, the light gradually diminished, and finally, the egg returned to its original form, but instead of taking it out, I waited quietly for the miracle to happen. However, as it turned out, my conjecture was wrong. Because in the silent dark space, the five of us waited for dozens of minutes, and nothing happened. The flashlight was still glowing underneath, but the egg of memories didn't react in the slightest.

"Looks like you're wrong, Mr. Explorer. Shiho said to me with some amusement.

"Hmm... Is it really an egg and a gift with a photometer in it?

"Probably so. Shiho sat down on the steps with a flashlight. Although there is a coffin behind her, Shiho seems to have overcome his aversion to the tomb. Or maybe the warm photo album of the royal family just now made her relax. After sitting down, she said to Ning Xue. "Let's light the candles, Ayuki. Shiho said softly. "With a little better lighting, maybe we can find something different. ”

"Okay, Miss Graybara. "Regarding Shiho's attitude, Ning Xue gave her the same respect as me, maybe because of Shiho's relationship with me. However, Zhibao also told her that there was no need to do this, but Ning Xue insisted on her respect. This also made Zhibao a little crying and laughing, and finally could only accept it silently.

"Candle flame?" Listening to the conversation between Shiho and Ning Xue, I seemed to grasp something. After Xue lit the candle flame on the stone platform next to the coffin, with the help of the red candlelight, I observed the situation around me, walked through the steps where Shiho sat lightly, and stood next to the coffin. Reaching out and caressing the coffin, he looked at the candles around him, and finally jumped onto the coffin. Looking back at the stone platform where the flashlight had just been placed, and the wide dome, he thought. The women watched my actions and remained silent, for fear of disturbing me. For a moment, the entire burial chamber fell silent.

―――――――――――― Detective Conan's theatrical version of the magician at the end of the century――――――――――

“So。。 Soga, so that's it. After a long time, I suddenly shouted in my senses. "No wonder, no wonder I thought there was something strange about the zenith when I came in, so it was. ”

"Hmm, what did you find?" Shiho asked, looking up.

"Hey, maybe I've found the treasure. I chuckled.

"Oh, where?"

"Here it is. I stomped my foot lightly. Said with a smile to Shiho.

"In the coffin? How could it be, isn't there only the remains of Princess Maria?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly. I jumped off the coffin and played with the egg of memories in my hand. "You should know that this castle is a German-style building, right?"

"Hmm. I remember the housekeeper seemed to say that Princess Maria's mother was German, so the building was built in the style of a German castle. Shiho nodded.

"Yes, and the construction of this burial chamber is undoubtedly the same. I stared at me. "In the West, people pay attention to the equality of souls, that is, the funeral level of the royal and commoner is equal, so there is nothing special about it. In Germany, the dying person needs to take a sip of the dying wine. It signals the transcendence of the soul. In the same way, the buried person must also light three kinds of candlesticks: the baptismal candle, the communion candle, and the holy light candle. and a large red candle that is placed next to the deceased to bless the deceased with the candlelight, while also illuminating the way to heaven for the deceased. ”

"You actually have research on these?" Shiho said in surprise.

"Hey, there's a specialization in the art industry. I chuckled. "Just as you choose Russian and French in order to improve your studies, I am more interested in Germany and Italy, which were the precursors of the war, in order to better fulfill my mission, so I deliberately learned a lot about their customs and culture. ”

"Is that so?" said Shiho, tilting his head. "Go on. ”

"After the candle flame, there is another custom of theirs. I went on to explain. "Mirrors. ”

"Mirrors?"

"Yes, in German funerals, the mirror is known as the devil's tool, the hideout place of death, the demon will use the reflection of the mirror to make the soul of the deceased unrestful, therefore, at the funeral, if there is a mirror, it needs to be covered with a black cloth. In this way, the soul of the deceased can escape from the world and smoothly travel to the Western Elysium. ”

"But the egg was on a photometer... You mean to say we're going to cover it?" Shiho frowned.

"Well, I think so. Or maybe it's to take the mirror off. I nodded. "Then comes the most important point. In Germany, when someone is dying, their family members have to open the windows of the deceased's place and even remove the bricks from the roof. The purpose of this is to open up a set of passages to another world for the deceased. Because they believe that after death, the soul will go to live in another world (the Corpse Soul Realm?). In this way, the souls of the deceased can pass away peacefully. ”

"But it's underground, where did it come from... Ahh

"Yes, from the first time I entered here, I had doubts about this zenith, and according to the route we took, and the height of this burial chamber, this must have been a burial chamber not far from the outer reaches of this mountain. However, the originally heavy stone wall of the mountain has opened up such a large circular roof, which makes me very incomprehensible, such a high roof, basically penetrating the entire mountain, if you are not careful, this tomb will even start to collapse at this point. This is not at all in line with the philosophy of architecture. But after seeing the effect of the egg, I slightly understood that it might have been a shape specially created to show the photo, but unfortunately, we were still deceived. The purpose of this zenith is not only to present the photograph, but the top, the most vulnerable place, should have been built later, because it should be the path to heaven that Kiichi opened for Mary. ”

"So, what do you mean... Pierce it?" Shiho said thoughtfully.

"That's right, pierce it!" The words fell, and the three sisters of the Ning family understood, took out their pistols and shot them at the zenith. Soon, a ray of early morning sunlight shone through the hole. It was reflected on the coffin.

"What's next?, what are we going to do?" Shiho frowned at the faint light falling on the coffin.

"Next, we're going to place the candle flame on the coffin. With that, I opened the coffin, and the dust of antiquity came to my nose in an instant. Frowning, I pulled the coffin to the maximum, and inside was the long-sleeping Princess Maria.

"Ah Xue, Yue'er, Shuang'er, bring the surrounding candlesticks. Then turn off the flashlight. ”

"Yes. ”

"Yes. ”

"Yes. ”

As they spoke, the three sisters took the candlesticks and placed six candlesticks on the left and right sides of the coffin according to the length of the candlesticks.

"Baptismal candles, communion candles, holy light candles. And what about the rest of the big red candle?" Shiho asked as he watched my movements.

"You forgot this?" I waved the egg of memory in my hand towards Shiho. "Isn't such a big red candle enough?" That's right, this last red candle is the egg of memory in my hand, the cyan inner egg is the wick, and the red outer egg is the candlestick, and the meaning is obvious.

"But what can this do?" Shiho wondered.

"Hey, look at it. With that, I rolled over and jumped into the coffin, stepping on the side of Princess Maria's remains. "Princess Mary, offended. As I spoke, I gently wrapped the bed that lay beneath Mary's remains. and tied the ends with a rope" and gently lifted the remains out.

"Kaoru, you are... Shiho watched my actions, his brows furrowed. Soon, though, she knew the meaning of my move.

Because under a futon, there are seven grooves at the bottom of the coffin, one large, six and small. Six of the smaller grooves surround a large groove in the middle, and the early morning light is reflected in the large groove.

"This is ... The three sisters of Zhibao and the Ning family all looked at it.

"It's the last organ. "I gently placed the remains on the ground. "The groove here should activate the final mechanism. Because Xiyi himself also knows that when he dies, if his descendants are destined to discover the secret here, they will definitely move this remains out of the tomb and bury them by the side of Master Xiyi. So it is normal to move the body, so that future generations will discover the secret of this coffin. Thus unravel the mystery of the treasure. ”

"What a magician at the end of the century... Shiho sighed. "It's a pity that you got the first step in the grave robber. ”

"Hey, hey. A wicked smile tugged at the corner of my mouth. "Ah Xue, Yue'er Shuang'er, remove the candle and put it in the groove. Shiho, remove the six glass blocks around the red egg, and then take out the cyan egg inside. ”

"Take it out?"

"Well, I guess this mechanism should just be opened by a red egg. ”

"Why?"

"If the red egg is a candle, then the blue egg is the wick, and the candle guarding the dead consumes the wick, so I don't think this egg should fit in. That's why the cyan egg will be placed elsewhere by Master Kiichi, and that's the part of the memory, so it shouldn't be connected to the treasure. What's more, the old man Xiyi just left the red egg by the side of the princess's remains to tell future generations that this egg is a separate key. Otherwise, even if later generations discover the mechanism, it can't be opened, and Xiyi's mechanism will not be designed in vain. ”

"Well, it's up to you. "Shiho doesn't think much about it, she knows more about this kind of trap and other things than she does, and she feels more about it. After that, Shiho opened the red egg and took out the cyan egg of memories inside, and then gently topped it from the inside, and the six lenses embedded in the egg were removed in turn. "What about the top one? It's also a contraband like a mirror, right?"

"Oh, that doesn't. I chuckled. "It's the flame of a candle. With that, I took the red egg from Shiho's hand. It was inlaid in the groove in the center and exited the coffin.

Soon, the light from the six candles entered the inside of the egg, and the crystal lens on the top also brightened up by the light of the fire and the early morning sunlight outside. As the light of the fire flickered, the lenses on the top burned and shook as if they were really a cluster of flames.

Soon, while we were still indulging in the crystal that was as bright as a candle, the tray of the red egg. A bright red flashed, and then the ground began to tremble. Behind the coffin, a stone wall depicting a two-headed vulture descended slowly, and after a few minutes, the shaking stopped, and a secret door appeared in front of us.

"I didn't expect it to be here... Zhibao was already amazed, who would have thought that after this magic mechanism, there would be such a shocking level?

"The combination of a photometer and a heat meter. The corners of my mouth lifted. "With the help of the illumination and baking of the candle flame, as well as the spectrum of sunlight, the mechanism is opened in reverse from the spectral channel of the Egg of Memory. What a magician at the end of the century!" Seeing the magic of this mechanism's design, I couldn't help but feel a little reverence for Kiichi. "Alright, the treasure is in front of our eyes. Let's take a look. "I put on a gas mask and body armor. After taking out the heat reactor and metal detector, he said to the women who had also begun to wear protective gear. "Let's go and see what kind of treasure our Mr. Magician at the end of the century has left us!"
