A few years later, Shiraki got off the train with Mori Goro and others on his back, and as soon as he walked out of the station, he saw Suzuki Sonoko waving at them at a glance, and she had already followed her home to Osaka two times in advance.

The Suzuki family sent a limousine to pick them up this time.

Mori Goro sat down and touched the back of his head, and said proudly and modestly: "It's good to send a car to pick me up, it's so grand." ”

"Of course, it's grand!" Sonoko Suzuki held her cheeks in her hands, her face full of yearning, "I'm going to see my favorite Kidd-sama tonight, how can I not be formal!" ”

"......" Mori Goro froze, and his smiling eyes turned back into dead fish eyes, "Is it actually for that steal......"

That's right, this time, the Suzuki family's exhibits are being targeted by the monster thief Kidd again.

A few days ago, Goro Mori was invited to a meeting of the Osaka Police Station.

Kidd sent a notice letter in advance, and according to the Nakamori Police Department, his message was that "from August 22 to the early morning of August 23, I will descend from the Moriken of Osaka Castle and take away the 'egg of memory.'"

On the way here, Conan learned about it from Mori Goro, and he is still staring at the note with the contents of the notice letter, mainly the second incomprehensible sentence, "A clock without a second hand points to the twelfth word hour."

This sentence should refer to a specific time, and Conan thought of many explanations, but he felt that they were all too simple and excluded them one by one.

Thinking to no avail, he put the note to the white tree as if answering: "What do you think this means?" ”

Then, unsurprisingly, I received the answer: "I don't know." ”

Bai Shu really didn't think about it - the strange thief Kidd didn't come to steal the soul, no matter when and where he came from.

However, this plot is still not included in the comics that his boss showed him, which makes Bai Shu quickly think of the time when the nail appeared, and he seems to have a job to do again.

The front of the Suzuki Museum of Art is heavily guarded, and there are even several helicopters flying around. Retracted his gaze from the air, and then looked to the side, and there were two familiar people poked not far away.

Toyama and Ye jumped down from the back seat of the motorcycle, Hattori Heiji took the helmet from her hand, turned his head and greeted a few acquaintances in front of him: "Yo, Kudo, you're here too, this time I'll catch the monster thief before you." ”

"Kudo?" Mao Lilan looked at him speechlessly, "Conan's surname is Edogawa, you don't have to shout wrong every time." ”

Hattori froze: "Ahaha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because that...... Look at his empty eyes, don't you think it's very similar to Kudo Shinichi! ”

"......" Conan stepped on his shoe as he passed by, and he was glad that Hattori had made too many slips of the tongue, and Ran seemed to have gotten used to it and didn't think much about it.

A group of people leaned on Suzuki Sonoko to brush their faces, and they reached the conference room on the top floor.

The conference room was spacious and bright, and there were valuable ornaments hanging everywhere, including a few people sitting on the sofa by the window.

The fattest and kindest is Suzuki Sonoko's father, Shiro Suzuki.

Next to him stood a majestic Russian, the first clerk of the embassy, Sergey, the egg of memories that had once been a secret treasure of the Russian royal family.

In addition, there are two men and one woman, the older man is an art dealer Qianjiangichi, and the other casually dressed young man is a freelance photographer, Ryu Hankawa.

The only lady was wearing a cheongsam and had a pair of very special gray eyes, Pu Siqinglan looked very young, but she was already an expert on the history of the Romanov dynasty.

This group of people was invited by Shiro Suzuki to value the Egg of Memories.

The artist general touched the heavy beard on his lips and gave him the price he thought was suitable: "800 million yen." ”

This price made Mori Goro and the others look surprised, but the two of the Suzuki family were just a fraction of the usual ones.

Qianshoichi has been observing Shiro Suzuki's expression, and seeing this, he added: "If you are willing to sell it to me, I can raise the price a little more." ”

The Russian ambassador immediately objected: "President Suzuki, the egg of memories is a treasure of our country, and instead of selling it to such a low-grade black marketeer, it is better to send it to our Russian art museum!" ”

was so lacking that the face of the cadre was difficult to look at: "Poor conduct? ”

The atmosphere stiffened for a moment.

The Han Chuan dragon next to him was even more interested, the camera in his hand was aimed at the two people who clashed, in addition to shooting various precious collections, he also liked to record the changes in the side.

Shiro Suzuki had no idea of selling the eggs of memories for the time being, and he didn't expect that the appraisers invited would want their own eggs one by one, so he had to refuse:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Suzuki Museum of Art has just opened, and I would like to exhibit it for a while before I consider selling it."

All four of them showed disappointed expressions, and it seemed that it was not only the Russian ambassador and the art dealer who wanted to remember the eggs.

However, the seller refused to sell, and there was nothing they could do, so they regretfully picked up the briefcase and left first.

When he went out, Hanchuan Long didn't put down the camera on his shoulder, it was a pity not to record it in such a luxurious office.

But when passing by a group of people who had just entered the door, a face appeared in his camera - Shiro Suzuki's secretary, Mato Nishino.

Hanchuan Ryu was startled and put down the camera suddenly.

Across from him, Masato Nishino looked at him suspiciously, wondering why the guest was reacting this way. I wanted to ask, but the photographer put things away and walked quickly.

Nishino Masato had to withdraw his gaze inexplicably, walked to the coffee table, and put a wooden box in his arms on the table.

This is the egg of memories worth at least 800 million yen.

Bai Shu withdrew his gaze from the notebook with two more names, looked at the desktop, and only felt the copper mirror in his pocket roll.

…… This time, the nail seems to be hidden in this egg.

Shiro Suzuki didn't know that in just a few seconds, there was one more person who wanted to steal the egg of memory.

Without noticing, he opened the wooden box, and there was a green egg-shaped ornament on the black velvet at the bottom of the box, and the egg was inlaid with many silver patterns and precious stones, but on the whole, it was still very ordinary, not at all like some 800 million yen treasure.

"This can be opened from the middle."

Suzuki Sonoko was familiar with the Egg of Memory, and she reached out and pulled it, and the top half of the Egg of Memory was lifted like a lid, revealing a statue carved of pure gold, depicting the Emperor's family sitting around a bench reading a book.

"I see...... It looks much more high-end this way, so it's no wonder that it will be targeted by strange thieves. Hattori Heiji reluctantly agreed with the appearance of the egg of memory.

When it comes to the strange thief Kidd, he suddenly has a question: "But the 'shining country' in the teaser letter, why does Osaka Castle shine?" ”
