Chapter Twenty-Nine: Another Egg of Memory

Conan asked softly, "Did your cousin have this kind of personality?" ”

"Actually, she's still very gentle in general...... If you want to blame, you can only blame Hattori's classmates for their own death. Ah Yi scratched his head and said.

Pingji was afraid that there would be some moths, so he didn't dare to stay longer, so he said to everyone: "I'll go back first, and then we will have a chance to meet again." ”

Heiji was originally from Osaka, so he naturally had to go home and sleep instead of staying in a hotel.

In fact, the sentence "I will have a chance to meet again in the future" is mainly said to Conan, as for Zero, although it is a super beauty, but now Pingji is really a little stunned for her.

After Heiji left, Conan and Aichi also dispersed. Ah Yi walked up to Zero and said to Zero, "Sister Zero, that kid named Conan Edogawa is too strange, isn't it, how can a first-grade elementary school student be as smart as that?" ”

In fact, when Conan was acting with Ah Yi, he had tried his best to hide his ability, basically led by Pingji to express his reasoning opinions, and when he occasionally spoke, he also tried to avoid words and sentences that sounded complicated and difficult, and tried to behave like a primary school student.

But how sharp Ah Yi's intuition and insight are at the top level, he can still perceive Conan's extraordinary.

In response to Ah Yi's question, Ling Zi smiled: "Don't worry too much about everything, it's just to increase your troubles." ”

After that, Zero waved goodbye to Ah Yi and went back to his room to eat the snacks brought by the packaging with Er San.

Over there, Conan was pondering, before Kaneda Ichiko had said that the strange thief Kidd was shot and fell into the sea, it sounded a little ridiculous at the time, and now I think that what Zero said is very likely to be true, if that's the case......

Because of Kidd, the Egg of Memories exhibit was also canceled. The next afternoon, the group returned to Tokyo on a giant cruise ship. Heiji stayed in Osaka, which can be regarded as the end of the fate of this incident.

And on the way back, there are two new guests, Natsumi Kasaka and her housekeeper Kuranosuke Sawabe. It is said that they approached President Suzuki last night and told him that the Egg of Memories was made by Natsumi's great-grandfather, so Chairman Suzuki invited them on the cruise.

In a certain room inside the ship, Shiro Suzuki, Jiroyoshi Suzuki, the clerk of the Russian Embassy, Siruov, an art dealer Kanshoichi, historian Urashi Seiran, freelance photographer Ryu Kankawa, as well as a group of people such as Zeroko, Aichi, Miyuki, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan, sat around and listened to Natsumi Kasaka tell her story. The secretary, Mato Nishino, stood behind Chairman Suzuki.

Natsumi Kasaka is in her twenties, with long brown hair and a shawl, good looks and generous demeanor. His housekeeper, Kuranosuke Sawabe, seems to be an ordinary old man, but his demeanor is quite steady.

According to Natsumi, her great-grandfather, Kiichi Kasaka, worked as a laborer in the Faberuj workshop and married a Russian woman. During the Russian Revolution, the two returned to Japan together and gave birth to a baby girl, Natsumi's grandmother. After Kiichi waited for his daughter to grow up, he recruited a son-in-law for her and continued to continue the Kasaka family. After that, Kiichi and his wife died of illness one after another, and their daughter and son-in-law gave birth to a son, and when the son grew up, he begged for a daughter-in-law, who was Natsumi's parents.

When Natsumi was five years old, her parents and grandfather died in a car accident, so she was raised by her grandmother alone. Not long ago, her grandmother died, and when Natsumi was sorting out her belongings, she found a picture drawn by her great-grandfather, Kiichi, and the picture was drawn with the egg of memory.

When Natsumi said this, she took out a picture from her bag and put it on the table for everyone to see.

At first glance, this picture is very old, and it is split in half from the top left to the bottom right, but it is still clear that the picture is painted as an egg of memory.

"It's indeed an egg of memory......," Chairman Suzuki said, looking at the picture, "but the strange thing is that the egg of memory on this picture is set with gems, but it doesn't actually ......."

Kogoro said, "Maybe there was a gem in the first place, but then it was lost for some reason." ”

Conan walked to the table, looked at the picture for a while, and suddenly said, "Is it possible that there are two eggs on this picture?" You see, the cracks in this picture are not connected at all, and if there is only one egg, the outline of the eggs will not be together in the two parts of the split. So I wondered if it would have been a large piece of paper with an egg drawn on the left and right, but the middle part of the paper was torn off, resulting in what now looks like there is only one egg. ”

When everyone heard this, they all came over to look at the picture, and the more they looked at it, the more they felt that Conan made sense.

Conan picks up the Egg of Memories and tries to compare it with the picture, only to find a small round glass at the bottom of the egg.

This is...... Mirror? Conan poked his little finger twice, only to hear a "pop", and the glass fell directly and rolled under the table.

Conan was startled, hurriedly put the egg away, and crawled under the table to find the piece of glass.

"Hey, little ghost, what did you do again?" Seeing this, Kogoro asked sharply.

Conan picked up the glass from under the table and laughed, "There's a small mirror at the bottom of the egg, and I accidentally knocked it off." ”

Kogoro was shocked when he heard this, and just wanted to beat someone, but the garden on the side waved his hand and said, "It's okay, that mirror is easy to fall, and I fell it several times when I was a child." ”

Since the garden said so, Kogoro stopped and stopped beating Conan.

Conan held the mirror in his hand, and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a pattern from the mirror onto his other palm.

Conan had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly said to Secretary Nishino, "Mr. Nishino, please turn off the lights." ”

"Hey, little ghost, what else do you want to do!" Regarding Conan's "unreasonable demands", Kogoro couldn't stand it anymore.

However, Secretary Nishino still turned off the light according to Conan's words, and there was no window in this hall, and the whole room suddenly darkened.

Conan pulled out a watch, his watch had its own lighting function. Conan pointed his watch at the mirror, pressed the light switch, and saw a beam of light shining on the mirror, expanding into a cluster of light and mapping it onto the wall, and this light cluster revealed a pattern, and the content of the pattern was a castle.

Siruov was dumbfounded: "Why is the picture displayed?" ”

Of course, he was not the only one who was dumbfounded, Maori Kogoro, Hankawa Ryu and others were also shocked by the scene in front of them.

"Is this the so-called magic mirror...... "The artist general said with a wide range of knowledge, "In the past, people would make a kind of magical mirror, and the mirror would be treated with special treatment, and the mirror contained a figure, and as long as it was illuminated by light, the figure could be magnified and reflected on the wall." It is said that when the Tokugawa shogunate banned Catholicism, they slaughtered Catholics and destroyed crosses and other items, and the Catholics who were hidden at that time used magic mirrors to project the pattern of the cross on the wall through the mirror to pray. ”

Qianshoichi's explanation made everyone suddenly understand, and at this time, Kasaka Natsumi said to her housekeeper Ssawabe Sanosuke: "Mr. Sawabe, is this city ......?"

"That's right." Kuranosuke nodded and said, "This castle is the castle of the Kasaka family in Yokosuka, and it was built by Kidaichi after he returned to Japan. ”

Mori Kogoro thought for a moment and said, "Miss Kasaka, I guess these two eggs were made by your great-grandfather." Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother returned to Japan during the Russian Revolution and brought these two eggs to Japan as well. They then sold the first egg and built the castle in Yokosuka, while the second egg was hidden in the castle. Before selling the first egg, your great-grandfather hid the information of the second egg in the form of a magic mirror transmission, and the first egg passed through several rounds before finally ending up in the hands of President Suzuki. ”

I have to say that Kogoro is still reliable sometimes, and his reasoning is still a little different from the facts, but there is generally no problem.

After listening to Kogoro's reasoning, Natsumi took out a very old key from her bag and said, "Actually, in addition to that picture, I also found this key in the relics, is this also related to the egg you said?" ”

"That's right! In my opinion, this is the key to the place where the second egg is hidden! ”

"Dream Eggs with Jewels...... "The Cadre looked intoxicated, "If you can find it, it's worth a billion ...... No, it must be worth more than 1.5 billion yen! ”

"Mr. Mori......" Natsumi said to Kogoro, "when I get back to Tokyo, can you please accompany me to Yokosuka's castle and help me find another egg?" Of course, I'll pay the commission fee, so please make a bid. ”

"Miss Natsumi, don't worry!" Maori Kogoro has no resistance to the big beauty, so I saw him patting his chest and saying, "I will definitely help you find the second egg, as for the commission fee, you can just give a little bit." ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Qianjiangyi's eyes flashed with greed, and he said, "If you can, take me with you!" ”

Silu Oufu, Hanchuan Long and Pu Si Qinglan were not far behind, and they all said: "Take me one too!" ”

Conan looked at the expressions of the group of people and thought thoughtfully: "Are these guys all trying to wait for another egg to take it for themselves......

Natsumi Kasaka didn't know the sinister feelings, and promised: "Okay, then let's go to the castle together." ”

The housekeeper Kuranosuke wanted to remind Natsumi not to blindly agree, but he didn't expect Natsumi to agree quickly, and before Kuranosuke could speak, Natsumi's words had already been spoken. The Kasaka family is more or less a noble family, and it is also one of the family mottos to practice what they say, since the master has spoken, then as a housekeeper, the master cannot be discredited. Kuranosuke can only take his opinion back into his stomach, and when he arrives at the castle, he will be more wary of these people.

"You're really good." Zero walked up to Conan and said with a smile, "If you hadn't discovered the existence of two eggs and found out the secret of the mirror, the second egg would have been in the castle forever." ”

Conan was startled, and hurriedly touched his head and said cutely: "What's so powerful or not, it's just a coincidence." ”

Zero smiled, she suddenly thought that it was fun to scare Conan, so she knelt down beside him and said, "You know, yesterday my cousin was full of praise for you, he said that in terms of intelligence, even ordinary high school students can't compare to you." ”

In fact, Ah Yi didn't talk about this level, but it didn't prevent Zero from adding oil and vinegar.
