Chapter 0696: The Castle of the Kasaka Family
Wednesday, May 5th, afternoon, Sakishu Island Airport.
After carrying the Nakamori Police Department wearing sunglasses, the luxury sightseeing bus in the garden drove directly into the belly of the heavy shield helicopter, and then the helicopter took off.
In the bus.
The front of the bus is a booth with a seat like a seat, and the rear is a facility, a small bar and toilets, and the bar is equipped with a refrigerator and microwave oven in addition to a wine cabinet.
The bar chairs are on either side, facing the window. Maori, Ovchinnikov, Qianjiangichi, and Hankawa Ryu sat on one side and drank, and the Nakamori Police Department was alone on the other side.
Midaiko, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan sat in a booth opposite each other, and in the booth opposite them sat Kazuha, Hattori, Kasaka Natsumi, and Urosi Qinglan, and behind them were Yamazaki and Sawabe Kuranosuke.
Holding the easter egg and looking at it, Mei Daizi smiled: "It turns out that the easter egg is like this." ”
"Don't have bad ideas. Yuan Zi smiled.
Mei Daizi smiled: "No." As he spoke, he placed the egg on the table in front of the garden, but a small round piece of decoration at the bottom of the egg fell off, so he hurriedly said, "Ah, I'm sorry. Then he smiled, "By the way, otherwise I will pay you the whole price according to the hour." ”
"Think beautifully. Yuan Zi smiled, "This thing is supposed to be active. ”
"Miss Yuanzi, can you let me take a look?" asked Pu Siqinglan.
"Absolutely. The garden handed the round ornament to Pu Siqinglan.
Pu Siqinglan looked at it, frowned and said to herself, "This is glass." Then he said to Natsumi Kasaka, "Miss Natsumi, since this egg came out of Mr. Kiichi's hand, why did he exchange the gem for glass, if it is sold for money, the egg with gems is obviously more valuable than glass." ”
"I don't know. Natsumi Kasaka said, "Maybe I sold the gem first, and then I had no choice but to sell this easter egg." ”
Pu Siqinglan put the ornaments on the table in front of the garden, Conan curiously picked up the ornaments and looked at them, inadvertently looked at the light, and found something strange, so he asked, "Sister Garden, can you turn off the lights in the car?"
"Turn off the lights?" asked the garden, "why?"
"Anyway, turn off the lights and get a flashlight. Conan said.
"Garden. Lan shouted.
"Okay, okay. Sonoko said, then told everyone to pay attention, then called for someone to turn off the lights and brought a flashlight to Conan.
Conan turns on his flashlight and points it at the round ornament, and a drawing appears on the wall showing a castle.
"It turned out to be a magic mirror. Kazuha said, and then asked Natsumi Kasaka, "This should be Miss Natsumi's castle in your family, right?"
"Yes. Natsumi Kasaka said, then asked, "But what is the magic mirror?"
"In the past, when Catholics were not recognized, people in Japan used mirrors carved with crosses to pray secretly," Hattori said. ”
"But such a big and clear pattern," Qianjiang said with some excitement, "this kind of miniature carving technique, the value of this easter egg has to be recalculated." ”
"But why do you do that?" asked Pu Siqinglan, "and, Miss Yuanzi, you don't know about it, do you?"
"Yes. "The first time I knew." ”
"It's weird. Hattori said, "It's obviously to sell for money, but I don't say where the value of the thing is." ”
"Sonoko, where did you get this easter egg?" asked Mei Daizi.
"Well," said Yuanzi, after a moment's thought, "the records say that it was one of the collateral of a merchant in the sixties, and then the merchant went bankrupt and committed suicide, and those things became our family, and I don't know where they came from. Then he asked someone to turn on the light.
"Anyway, the other egg must be in the Swan Castle in Yokosuka, that's right. Maori said.
"Oh, by the way, Miss Natsumi," asked Ovchinnikov, "since the Swan Castle has been around for a long time, and it is near the port of Yokosuka, was it bombed by the Americans?"
"Not really, I was lucky enough to escape," said Kuranosuke Sawabe, "but it was later requisitioned and used as the residence of a senior officer of the Navy." ”
Ovchin Nikov asked, "So, will that egg be in the hands of the Americans, or in some museum in the world, or in the hands of some collector?"
"Hah, that's fun. Hanchuan Long smiled.
"No, that egg should still be in the castle. Kuranosuke Sawabe said.
"Really?" asked Pu Siqinglan.
"Yes, Miss Qinglan, you'll know when you get there. Kuranosuke Sawabe said. ……
In the afternoon, in front of Yokosuka Swan Castle.
After the Heavy Shield helicopter landed in the open space outside the fort, the bus reversed and headed for the castle.
Looking at the castle that was getting closer and closer, Hattori said to himself, "Speaking of which, why is this castle German? ”
"What are you talking about, don't you eat steak?" and Ye said, "Aren't you not a foreigner." ”
At this point, the bus stopped, and the doors opened to let everyone off.
After getting out of the car, Conan heard someone calling for him, and found that Dr. Asa and the four detectives were actually here. After asking, I learned that it was Mitsuhiko's sister and friends who originally planned to go to the Toshin Oil Kettle Aquarium to play, mainly to take a bath and bathe in the deep ocean water, but there was another event temporarily, so they sold the tickets to Mitsuhiko cheaply. Then they passed by, and Ayumi saw the tip of Swan Castle in the distance, and proposed to come and see it on the way back.
"Conan, are you going in?" Ayumi asked.
"Don't ask me, I can't be the master. Conan said immediately.
"Uncle Maori, will you take us in?" said Motota, "There must be a lot of treasure hidden in it." ”
"The treasure also belongs to the castle owner," Maori asked angrily, "are you going to steal?"
"Huh?" said Yuan Tai with an embarrassed smile, "How is this possible? No, we'll just see." ”
"yes, just looking. Mitsuhiko echoed, "Absolutely not going to move." ”
Maori said, "You have heard it to me, and you are not allowed to go in." ”
Natsumi Kasaka smiled, "It's okay, Mr. Mori, you just let them in." ”
"Great. The three of them cheered together.
After entering the castle, Sawabe Kuranosuke first took everyone to visit the rooms inside, between the knights with knight's armor as the main decoration, between the ladies with oil paintings as the main decoration, and between the nobles with statues as the main decoration, and then took everyone to Kiichi Kasaka's studio.
"Please come in, there are photos of Mr. Kiichi on display here, as well as some photographs from that time. Kuranosuke Sawabe said.
Glancing at the photos on display, Conan asked, "Miss Natsumi, why doesn't there seem to be a picture of your great-grandmother?"
"Yes, indeed, not even a group photo, so I never knew what my great-grandmother looked like. Natsumi Kasaka said.
Looking at a photo of the two of them, the general pointed to the bearded man sitting on it and asked Ovchinikov, "Isn't this man Rasputin?"
"Yes," said Ovchinikov, "the other must be Mr. Kiichi." ”
"Being able to take a photo with Raspuchin, who was in power at the time, Mr. Kiichi doesn't seem to be ordinary. Hanchuan Long smiled.
"Dad, who is Raspuchin?" Lan asked Maori.
"Well, all I know is that he's a sinner of history. Maori said.
"He was known as the strange monk Raspuchin, who was good at flattering the emperor's family, so much so that he caused the demise of the Romanov dynasty, he once controlled power, and finally was killed by the royal nobleman Prince Yusupov, and when his body was found in the river, his skull was dented and one eye was gouged out. ”
"Not really. "Rasputin is a mysterious figure who is famous for accurately predicting the great drought and using the magic of witch doctors to cure Archduke Nicholas's dog. At that time, the prince suffered from hemophilia, which was a terminal disease at the time, so the emperor's family turned to various mysterious figures when seeking medical treatment was ineffective, and Rasputin entered the royal family. Rasputin really helped the prince get through the difficulties again and again, so he won the trust of the Nikolai family, you know, what is the ...... of that ah, ah"
"Alexey. Yamazaki reminded.
"By the way, Alexei, he is the only male descendant of the Romanov dynasty, and he is the best account of the empress to the empress dowager, to the royal nobles, and to the Russian people. "That emperor is not a fool, he trusts whoever he trusts, even if he is confused and hypnotized, that is that man's ability, and it is said that he also sent spies to spy on Raspuchin." ”
He Ye smiled: "Wow, Mei Daizi, you are so powerful, you know these things." ”
"Yes, do you have such a good history?" asked Sonoko with a smile.
"Because he's a monster. Mei Daiko smiled.
"Demons, monsters?" Ran, Motota, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko shuddered.
"It is said, it is just said," said Mei Daiko with a smile, "because it is rumored that Rasputin has had affairs with many members of the imperial family, is biased towards Germany in his position, and has control over power, Prince Yusupov decided to get rid of Raspuchin in order to restore the reputation of the royal family and restore the legitimacy of the royal family. So he set a trap in his house and asked his wife to use beauty tricks to attract Raspuchin. Also involved were his son-in-law, a member of the clan, a member of the Imperial Diet, a friendly officer, and a doctor. However, the whole assassination process was very unsuccessful, and Rasputin ate a cake laced with cyanide and drank wine laced with cyanide, but he did not respond. Yusupov then shot Rasputchin, who thought he was dead and was about to dispose of the body, when Rasputin suddenly woke up and broke free from their uniforms and ran to the courtyard. The lawmaker chased Rasputin out of the house and fired three shots at Rasputin, the last of which hit him in the head and hit him in one eye. But when they dragged him into the house, he woke up again, and Yusupov struck him on the head several times with a dumbbell, killing him and throwing him into an ice cave in the Moika River. However, Rasputin was still not dead at that time, but was only knocked unconscious again. Raspuchin's body was found the next day, and a forensic examination showed that he had drowned, dragging his badly wounded body and surviving in the icy water beneath the ice for eight minutes. ”
"Indeed, it is indeed a youkai. Kazuha's face was not good.
"Not only that," said Maidiko, "after Raspuchin's death, his body was embalmed, and the royal family prepared to build a monastery in his honor, only to be recognized by the revolutionaries three months later, pulled out for parade and burned. But witnesses claimed that Rasputin's body had not been burned by the time the lead and zinc coffins in which his body had been placed had been melted down, and that he had sat up from the coffin with his eyes open. Kerosene was poured on the body and burned to ashes after ten hours. Many aristocratic women disguised themselves and came to the crematorium to collect the ashes and worship them as holy relics. ”
"Wouldn't it?"
"It's amazing. "By the way, Rasputin also prophesied that the Romanov dynasty would collapse within three months of his death. He was killed on December 29, 1916, and on March 8 of the following year, the 'February Revolution' took place in Russia, and the Romanov dynasty really came to an end, and the imperial era really came to an end. ”
"Is there such a thing?" asked Ryu Hankawa to Ov Chinnikov.
"It's just rumors. Ovchinnikov said.
"Ahem!" the general changed the subject, "compared to Raspuchin, the most important thing is to find easter eggs now." ”……
