Chapter 240: The Second Egg
Chapter 240: The Second Egg
When I returned to the Suzuki Museum of Art, there were only Secretary Nishino and many policemen, my father and Mr. Shiro Suzuki were still drinking, Xiaolan and the others had not returned, as for Hattori and Conan, the two of them went to chase Kaito, they should still be on the way, no matter how much I persuaded the department's motorcycle, it couldn't be faster than my Aston Martin, right? When I returned to the hotel, Secretary Nishino was receiving a lady named Natsumi Kasaka. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info seems to think that the photo of the egg of Easter memories is wrong, and it is different from the photo left by her great-grandfather. Her great-grandfather was a worker in FabergΓ©'s factory, and she was somewhat convincing about that. And Secretary Nishino also said that he would continue to arrange this matter tomorrow and hoped that she would come back tomorrow.
Dozens of minutes later, Xiaolan and the others came back first. Seeing me here, Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, and then there was a not harsh rebuke. And I also begged Xiaolan for mercy while prevaricating. Conan, on the other hand, called and said that Hattori had fallen and injured himself because of a motorcycle, but it was fine and had been taken to the hospital. Hearing the news, I rushed to the hospital with Xiaolan and Ye, no wonder I only saw Conan riding a skateboard chasing Kidd, it turned out that Hattori fell behind halfway. followed Kazuha to the hospital here, and saw that the nurse was rubbing medicine on Hattori. But it shouldn't be a big deal to see how he's doing.
"Hey, where did you go?" after looking at Hattori again, he was fine. Conan pulled me out of the hospital room and looked at me with a serious face.
"I'm going to buy a souvenir for Xiao Ai. With that, I drew a piece of cheesecake from the necklace in my arms. "Do you want to eat? Haven't you eaten yet?"
"Uh... Thank you. Conan took the cake and took a bite, then said to me vaguely. "Today when I was chasing Kidd, I noticed that someone was using a flashbang, and I also saw a vague figure who seemed to have wounded Kidd and dropped it into the sea. β
"Wounded?" I didn't look moved, trying to confuse Conan. "Kidd is dead?"
"I don't know, the police are already searching the sea. And it was because I saw the egg and a wounded pigeon that I decided that Kidd was injured. β
"Pigeons?"
"Well, it's next door. Conan said.
"Take me to see it. "I followed Conan to the next room, and on a quilt I saw a white pigeon resting. I recognize this pigeon, it is the pigeon that Kaito carries with him, and it is also one of the ones I know, and I remember the first time I saw him, it was still fresh from the egg. When I arrived, the pigeon fluttered excitedly, but collapsed on the quilt because of its injuries.
βγγγ Fortunately, the injury was not serious. "I picked up the pigeon and checked its injuries. There was a small burn on the foot, and a few broken feathers on the wing. does not affect its activity. As I spoke, I took out the special medicine from the necklace and sprayed it lightly on the pigeon's foot wound, although it flapped its wings in pain, but it obediently did not fly in my hand. After spraying the medicine, I found the bandage in the drawer in this room, wrapped it, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why does this pigeon listen to you so much?" Conan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the pigeon cooing in my arms. "When I brought it back, it struggled for a long time. β
"The pigeons that Kidd uses to do magic are very human. It knew I was treating it, so it was very obedient. I explained, of course, I wouldn't have told Conan that we had met when the pigeon was still an egg.
"Really?" Conan was skeptical, but quickly gave up, for he had more important things to ask me. "By the way, Kaoru has at least two killers involved in this incident, can you help me find out who is involved?"
"Yes, yes. With that, I took out my phone and began to flip through the records. After a few minutes, I handed Conan the red quest I had found some time ago.
"Sure enough, does anyone pay attention to the resurrection egg again? Conan frowned.
"It's useless to tell the police about something like this, unless you catch the killers. "I put my phone away. "So, there's a good chance Kidd has been killed by now. And there are many people, including the killer on this mission list, who are peeking at the egg of that Easter memory. Why don't you tell them to abandon this operation?" I suggested. Now Kaito's fate is unknown, and I don't have time to call him right now. If the Suzuki family can abandon this plan to exhibit, it will give me a lot of time. Find out the life and death of Kaito, and find out the identity of the killer.
"This incident is basically over, but if the killer who took over the mission and those who snooped on him don't get rid of it for a day, the Suzuki family is likely to suffer because of that killer. Conan asserted. "So, we have to get that killer out before he kills anyone more. β
"Easy to say. Now that Hattori has hung up the lottery because of your recklessness, what else do you expect?" I smiled disdainfully.
"Isn't it still you? Conan flattered me.
"I'm sick right now. "I'm spreading my hands. "Are you embarrassed to let a sick man do it? unless... β
"Just spare him his life... Conan thought for a moment and said with a frown. "Do your best. β
"In other words, even if I kill him by mistake, can I?" Conan's words lit up in my eyes.
"It's all about not killing him as much as possible!" Conan shouted. "I know your situation, but if I can ... Don't kill him as much as possible. Let him reflect on his guilt in prison. β
"Hehe, it's better to kill him directly. I narrowed my half-moon eyes and despised Conan. Those who can take tasks on the killer task list are basically the kind that will either be shot directly or indefinitely. It's really not as good as the mercy of killing it directly.
"Anyway, do your best, and I'll do my best to find out who he is. β
"There's no clue evidence, what are you going to check?"
"I... Conan was momentarily speechless. "Anyway, I don't think the killer will give up without getting the eggs. So we just have to beware ... β
"How do you feel that after talking for a long time, you still rely on me?" I handed Conan a disdainful look. "Forget it, but you have to remember that if I kill him by mistake, you are not allowed to be crooked. β
"Hey, why do I think your plan was to kill him in the first place?" Conan frowned. "You don't know who this killer is, do you?"
βγγγγγγ "I stared at Conan with an alternative eye.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Conan shook his head, then smiled apologetically. "Well, I'll leave it to you later. β

"So, your great-grandfather was a worker in FabergΓ©?" The next day, the museum had to terminate the exhibition in order to check whether the egg of memories had been damaged by Kidd's theft, and we returned to Tokyo on a cruise ship from the Suzuki family. On the cruise, Shiro Suzuki also met Natsumi Kasaka and listened to her about his grandfather.
"Yes, my great-grandfather married a Russian woman locally, and the two of them returned to Japan together the year after the revolution broke out. Natsumi Kasaka said. "My great-grandmother gave birth to a baby girl, but unfortunately my great-grandmother died soon after. Nine years later, my great-grandfather passed away. The baby girl, my grandmother. She gave birth to my father shortly after she met my grandfather, who was killed in a car accident with my parents when I was 5 years old. I was raised by my grandmother. β
"Unfortunately, the old lady also passed away last month. The housekeeper who followed Natsumi Kasaka, Kuranosuke Sawabe, said.
"I was originally a pastry chef in Paris, and this time I came back to sort out my grandmother's relics. It turned out that it was found that it was a very old drawing that was supposed to have been drawn by the great-grandfather. With that, Natsumi Kasaka took out a tattered drawing from her bag. Spread out on the table. "Because it's broken in the middle. So only a part of it can be compared. Everyone looked at the drawing on the table, and saw that the lower left side of the drawing was indeed written. memories, memories.
"It's indeed the egg of memory, but why is the egg on this picture inlaid with gems?" Shiro Suzuki saw the drawing, and then said in a panic, if his egg of memory is not the same as the real drawing, then the Suzuki Foundation can lose a lot of credibility because of this.
"Could it be that the gem set in it has fallen off?" Dad suddenly said something almost impossible, as if he wanted to give Shiro Suzuki a step down.
"Could it be that there are two eggs in this one?" said Conan, looking at the drawings. "Because the outlines of the eggs in these two pictures don't fit at all. Conan said, pointing to the picture. This sentence aroused everyone's deep thought. And it caught my attention, because the egg of memories released on the mission list did not say how many there were, if the buyer didn't know the facts, then there were extenuating circumstances, if the buyer knew, there were really two eggs, then the hired killer was a big loss.
But... If the buyer doesn't know, and the killer knows that there are two, the matter is a big deal, on the one hand, not to mention completing the task, he can make another profit from it, but the biggest impact is to make him more eager to get this, or even these two eggs. He's already done it to Kaito, and if he really has two eggs, he'll be even more likely to kill the killer next, which makes me have to guard against it!
"Mr. Nishino, please turn off the lights!" While I was thinking, Conan suddenly shouted, and Mr. Nishino also turned off the lights for the first time, although his father was scolding Conan, but Conan was unmoved, I saw him take out the lighting watch that the doctor gave him from his pocket, shine on something, and then reflect a light and shadow, reflected on the wall. The light and shadow on the wall show the appearance of a castle. The crowd was also shocked by Conan's actions.
"This is ... Magic Mirror?" I frowned, then walked over to the drawing, looking at the mutilated drawing. "The size of the egg, the card slot, the glass on it, and the size of this egg and the gem, just the magic mirror. Plus the egg is a product of Russia... Hehe, kind of interesting. At this point, the corners of my mouth curled up with a playful smile. This inventor is really a genius, and I have to say that the design of that year was able to reach this point, which is enough to be proud.
"The Magic Mirror is a magical mirror that has been passed down in China and Japan. Everyone saw the image reflected on the wall through the light, and Pu Siqinglan explained it to everyone. "The mirror is specially treated to produce a special image under the influence of light, and legend has it that some Japanese Catholics secretly pray with the cross reflected in the mirror by candlelight. β
"Mr. Sawabe, is this castle?" Natsumi Kasaka seemed to recognize the castle.
"Yes, it's our castle in Yokosuka. Steward Sawabe nodded.
"Eh, Yokosuka's castle?" Ran remembered something. "Is it the castle that often appears in TV commercials?"
"Yes, that's the castle that my great-grandfather built. It has been managed by my great-grandmother. Natsumi Kasaka nodded.
"In other words, Miss Kasaka, these two eggs were made by your great-grandfather, right?" said Dad after a moment's thought. "Your great-grandfather made these two eggs with his wife before the Russian Revolution and brought them back to Japan, perhaps selling the gems from the second egg a little to build the castle in Yokosuka. And the second egg should be hidden somewhere in this castle, and then the secret of the place where the second egg is located is hidden in the first egg through the magic mirror. β
"Actually, in addition to the blueprint of the egg, I also found this old key. It seemed that Dad's reasoning was pointed, and Natsumi Kasaka immediately took out an old key from her bag.
"That's it! I think this must be the key to the second egg!" Dad asserted.
"Eggs of memories encrusted with gems?" the Russian ambassador thought, dragging his chin.
"If you get it, you can sell at least 1 billion, not even more than 1.5 billion!" said the art dealer excited.
"Hmph. At the mention of money, everyone's heartbeat changed. I pouted disdainfully. But I don't care about what they say or do, I only care about whether the killer is one of these people, or if one of them hired him. Now that there is news of the second egg, the total price of these two eggs is more than ten or two billion. I don't know what the employer thinks, or maybe he already knew?
"Mr. Mori, can you accompany me back to that castle when I return to Tokyo?" seemed to be beginning to appreciate her father's reasoning ability, and Natsumi Kasaka began to take the initiative to invite.
"Well, very much. Dad confirmed.
"Then please let me go with you. β
"Me too. β
"Please let me go with you. β
"I want to go too. β
For a moment, the greed in the eyes of everyone present could no longer be contained. That greed made me cast my suspicions on everyone here. In the worst-case scenario, one or a few, or all of them here could be related to that killer. I couldn't help but frown, it looks like this trip to the castle is going to see blood!) )
