Chapter 238: Eyeing the Tiger

"Oh, it's Mr. Maori. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" walked into the president's room of the art museum. Mr. Shiro Suzuki, the father of the garden, has been waiting for us here for a long time. "Thank you for coming all the way. ”

"Ahh Where, you're welcome. Dad politely shook hands with Shiro Suzuki.

"Ah, Xiaolan, and Conan, and Kaoru, you are here too. ”

"Hello, Uncle Suzuki. Xiaolan bowed politely and said hello. Conan and I also greeted Mr. Suzuki at the same time.

"The next two are... Shiro Suzuki asked, looking at Hattori and Kazuha.

"Dad, they're Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama. Hattori is a high school detective in Kansai, and he is very famous in the Kansai area. The garden introduced her father.

"I see, are you the son of Hattori Heizou? Hehe, then I'll ask you for the next. Shiro Suzuki laughed.

"Well, leave it to me, uncle. Pingji responded very indifferently.

"So, let me introduce you to the guests here. Hearing Shiro Suzuki's words, everyone turned their eyes to the people present.

"First of all, this is the First Clerk of the Russian Embassy, Mr. Silu and Ovchinnikov. As he spoke, a silver-haired, burly man sitting on the sofa stood up and greeted everyone.

"Please advise. "Just a greeting, I heard the taste of Russia in his mouth.

"As for this one, it's an art dealer I found. Mr. Qianjiangyi. Shiro Suzuki continued. "Hello. The art dealer's eyes shone brightly, as if he wanted to see through the value of everyone here.

"The other is a researcher of the Romanov dynasty, Miss Pu Si Qinglan. With that, Shiro Suzuki introduced a beautiful woman in a cheongsam next to him to everyone.

"Hello. The gray-haired woman greeted everyone.

"Huh?!" I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her greeting. Because of this greeting, it is spoken in Chinese. "Chinese?"

"Hmm, what's wrong, Kaoru-chan?" asked Ran when she heard my voice.

"Ah, no, nothing. I smiled at Lan. Then he looked at her silently. I thought to myself, no, not Chinese, she said 'hello' pronunciation does not seem to be Mandarin, is there an accent? And there is no Pu Si surname in China. I wondered, but my doubts were unknown to the others here, and Shiro Suzuki continued to introduce them.

"This is a freelance photographer who applied to interview and photograph Easter Eggs, Mr. Ryu Kankawa. ”

"Please advise me. Hanchuan Ryu held up the camera to indicate his identity.

"So, Mr. Suzuki, what is the final result of the final appraisal of the value of that egg?" After introducing the group, Dad began to ask about his work and the value of the object he protected.

"Eight hundred million. "Mr. Qian is an authority on this aspect, so he said it for the first time.

"Eight, eight hundred million?!" Dad was shocked, this number was absolutely astronomical for him, but it was only a drop in the bucket for the Suzuki family.

"Well... If you're willing to sell, I'm willing to give you a little more. Mr. Qian seems to be very satisfied with the effect of smashing people's faces with money. But apparently he has leeway, because the price I myself saw on the black site was already close to 1.5 billion yen. It seems that he is also planning to buy it at a lower price and then sell it at a higher price.

"Mr. President, this Emperor's Easter Egg is a Russian thing, so rather than sell it to such an unknown art dealer, please donate it to our Russian Art Museum. When the burly clerk saw Mr. Qian's bid, he hurriedly expressed his position.

"What?!Who do you say is unknown?" said Mr. Qian. angrily.

"yes, yes, maybe I'll be able to shoot something more interesting than that egg. Hanchuan Long said cynically. "And you, you don't care about yourself, if you are really a researcher of the Romanov dynasty, you should want to get that egg more than anyone else, right?"

"yes. Pu Si Qinglan changed her words and said in Japanese. "But the price of Eight Memories is really for me... ”

"Well, well. That's right, even if it's me, I can only barely scrape together 200 million. Hanchuan Long said helplessly.

"Hey, why are so many people beating this egg besides the monster thief Kidd. Conan said as he stood beside me.

"You have to know that although this thing appeared in Japan, it is indeed a Russian dynasty thing, and with such transnational attributes, how can it not be lively if there are middlemen and researchers involved?" I smiled at Conan.

"Anyway, we'll talk about the eggs another day. Shiro Suzuki said to the people here.

"Alright, then we'll take our leave. With that, the four competitors here left the venue one after another, and at the same time, Shiro Suzuki's secretary Nishino also came to the president's room with the Easter egg.

"President, I brought the egg. Secretary Nishino said.

"Okay, put it on the table. ”

"Can we take a look?" said Ran with some anticipation.

"It doesn't look very good. "The garden looks clear. "When I was a kid, I used to use that egg as a toy. ”

"Hehehehe. 800 million toys. I couldn't help but complain.

Soon, the egg was taken out of the box by Nishino, and everyone also turned their attention to it. It was a turquoise egg, and there were several protruding brackets underneath the egg that supported the balance of the entire egg. The turquoise body is surrounded by silver-glittering decorations. There are a few small holes on the top. The pattern in the middle seems to indicate that the egg can be opened.

"It doesn't look good. Hattori took a closer look at the egg and said.

"It feels like an ostrich egg. And Ye also responded.

"This egg should be able to be opened. ”

"Haha, you know a lot. Shiro Suzuki smiled. "Indeed, this egg can be opened. He said. Shiro Suzuki reached out and took the egg, and with a slight twist, the whole egg was opened. And what's inside is really a big surprise. It was a model of a Romanov family made of pure gold. It's gorgeous.

"And this egg has an interesting mechanism. As he spoke, Shiro Suzuki took out a small key and screwed it into a keyhole in the egg, and after two rotations, he saw that the pure gold model inside the egg slowly rose, and the king sitting in the middle opened the pure gold book.

"According to the previous records of Fabergé, there is an internal process for making this egg, so this egg will be identified as genuine. Shiro Suzuki brought up a stack of materials. Inside is a picture of how the egg was made.

"Is there a gem on the inside of that egg?" asked Lan as she pointed to the gleaming crystal above the inside of the egg.

"No, it's just plain glass. Shiro Suzuki waved his hand. ”

"This is a gift from the emperor to the empress, isn't it too strange to use glass. "Conan seems to have discovered something.

"Hmm... However, when the 51st egg was made, it is said that Russia was in the midst of an economic crisis. ”

"Huh, is that so?"

"However, compared to this, I think Kidd's teaser letter is more strange, why does Osaka Castle shine in the glowing Sky Pavilion?" Hattori asked, confused.

"Stupid, Mr. Taiko, who built Osaka Castle, wants Osaka Castle to witness the development of Osaka, just like the light of Osaka. He Ye narrated.

"That's right!" At the same time, two policemen came in from outside the door, one was Kaito's future father-in-law, Officer Ginzo Nakamori, and the section chief of the second section, Kantaro Chaki. "It's absolutely true that Kidd will be in the castle tower of Osaka Castle. Officer Chaki said menacingly.

However, when there is no twelfth character engraved on the clock with the second hand, the meaning of this sentence cannot be understood at all. Officer Nakamori answered.

"Could it be the twelfth word of the Fifty Tone Diagram?" and Ye Yiyu woke up the person in the dream.

"Eh? that's shi... Is it four?"

"No, Kidd's code won't be that simple. ”

"Well, I see, Mr. Officer," Dad seemed to think of something. "It's not a pentagram, it's the twelfth letter of the English alphabet, the l of the English alphabet."

"That is... Three o'clock?"

"That's right, three o'clock is indeed before dawn!" the landscape door also realized.

"Oh, it's a Maori detective, it's so beautiful. Shiro Suzuki seemed to believe his father's words.

"Hahahahaha!" "Dad got carried away.

"Kaoru, what do you think?" asked Conan, as he approached me.

"Have I had an idea?" I shrugged.

“。。。 When I didn't ask. Conan sighed.

"Huh~" I chuckled. "What time is it?" I looked up at the window of the conference room, where a white dove was standing on a platform. Feeling my gaze, the pigeon jumped up with excitement and spun back and forth for a week. Fly out the window and look at me.

"Ha, you seem to remember me. I smiled softly and made a secret gesture to it to signal it to be quiet. I don't want to let Kaito's listening slip through the cracks.

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

After that, as the owner of Kansai, Hattori and Kazuha took me, Conan, Ran and Sonoko to the local Namba Fudai Shrine, which is said to be very accurate. Everyone drew incense and drew a lot to show respect for the temple.

"Hey, I got Big Jiye. When everyone was busy looking at their lots, Xiaolan suddenly shouted excitedly.

"What is Nani Nani written?"

"The people who are waiting round lovers meet. That's what it says. Xiaolan spread out the sign in her hand and said happily.

"It's Shinichi, right?" Sonoko responded.

"Hey, that's great, just in time for me to meet him. Kazuha also said. Indeed, Kazuha has not seen Conan become Shinichi.

"Huh. . . It's probably going to disappoint you. "By my side, Conan smiled helplessly.

"Heye, you can help me beckon those two girls to play first. ”

"What about you, Hattori?" asked Kazuha as he turned around.

"Boy, of course you have to be with boys. I greet these two imps. With that, Hattori took Conan and walked out. Although I wanted to go with Kazuha, I thought that I had more important things to do in a while, so I followed in Hattori's footsteps.

"Whew. So, how are we going to pass the time before three o'clock in the morning?" Hattori said lightly. "Are you still thinking about the 12th word?"

"Well, there's something I can't figure out. Conan said as he thought. Kaoru knew the answer, but unfortunately he wasn't going to tell me. ”

"Hey, how do you know I know the answer. I was speechless. "I just don't want to think about it. Besides, it's the two of you who are fighting against Kidd, so why are you involved with me? ”

"Hmm, don't you want to bring that thief to justice?" Hattori asked me.

"In a way, our careers are still related, and he didn't mess with me, so why should I arrest him?" I said, rolling my eyes. "I'll leave this puzzle to you, I'm leaving. ”

"Eh, where are you going? Conan asked me.

"It's rare to come to Osaka, so I'm going to buy some souvenirs for Xiao Ai. ”

"Xiao Ai, who is Xiao Ai?" Hattori was puzzled.

"It's Kaoru's girlfriend. ”

"Nani?!" Hattori was shocked, "Masaka, Maori, you gave a primary school student... ”

"That's not it. Conan explained to me with a smile. "That's his girlfriend when he really came of age, but she also betrayed the organization and escaped, she is the maker of the medicine we took, and her current name is Gray Plains. I'll tell you more about the details later. ”

"It's, okay. Hattori scratched his head. "By the way, what did you draw just now?"

"I haven't seen the lottery yet. Conan said.

"Eh, this is a sign against Kidd, how can you not look at it?"

"Uh... Really. With that, Conan took out the slip from his pocket. When I opened it, I saw that it was Xiao Ji.

"Xiao Ji, doesn't that mean there is nothing? "The lot of the shrine is divided into Okichi, Nakayoshi, Koyoshi, and Sueyoshi. There is no such thing as murder at all. But Sueji basically has the same meaning as the murderer.

"Eh, travel, secrets will be discovered, don't go?" Conan said, reading the slip. "Hey, no. ”

"What about you? Mingya. ”

"I forgot where I left it. ”

“。。。。。。 "Hattori Half Moon Eyes. "The sign of this shrine is very spiritual, so be careful of retribution if you do this. ”

"If I believe this, I would have died a long time ago. I glanced at Hattori angrily. "Alright, you guys play, I'm leaving. After saying that, I didn't give them a chance to speak, and I left here. Turning the corner, I pulled a piece of paper out of my pocket. That's the lottery I just drawn.

"Cut. . . Moji?" I said, frowning. Although I don't believe this, there is a line on the interpretation of the sign that I have to pay attention to.

[Travel: The source of calamity.] Do not travel with friends or family and stay away from them or you will be in danger for them. 】

“。。。 Who are you talking about?Dad?Xiaolan?Kaito?Or Conan Hattori?" I frowned. "So what do Africans smoke. I can't draw SSR anyway. (To be continued.) )
