Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 143 Relics
After the funeral, Suzuki Shiro took his wife and daughter with Natsumi and left after a few simple greetings, showing no intimacy other than normal etiquette. The rest of the guests also expressed condolences to Natsumi who became the new head of the Kasaka family They all said goodbye and left.

On the contrary, Tomoko Suzuki and Mariko expressed a lot of caring words to Natsumi before they left. From the perspective of others, it should be that President Suzuki's wife and daughter had a good personal relationship with the heir of the Kasaka family, which allowed the other family to attend the funeral.

It was only after the people attending the funeral left that Xia Mei noticed the tall slender girl who had been helping the steward Zebu all the time. She stepped forward curiously and asked, "Grandpa Zebe, who is this beside you?"

"Ma'am, this is the one I mentioned to you before, my granddaughter Yoko who has been living with my son and wife in Russia since she was a child." Housekeeper Zebe introduced to Xia Mei with a smile, "This kid has a lot of ideas, and he said he wants to go back Japan came to accompany me, so her parents depended on her, and now she is studying in Didan High School."

"So it's your granddaughter, no wonder it looks familiar." Xia Mei nodded, and then said with a smile, "Grandpa Sawabe, you should call me the same as before, I'm not used to it."

"Yes, miss." Butler Sawabe responded with a bow.

Seeing that the other party changed his mind, Xia Mei nodded with a smile, and then looked at the mixed-race girl who had the same gray eyes as her own and somewhat similar appearance and asked curiously: "Yangzi, I have a familiar feeling when I see you, Have I met you before?"

"Sister Xia Mei, have you forgotten? I met you several times when I came to see my grandfather when I was a child, but you were abroad when I came here in recent years." Yang Zi replied with an innocent smile.

Hearing what the other party said, Xia Mei remembered that the granddaughter of the housekeeper Sawabe had indeed visited the castle several times when she was a child, but the appearance of the other party was quite blurred in her memory, not to mention the eighteenth change of the female college student, so she responded with a smile: "You As soon as I said it, I remembered it, I didn't expect you to grow up so big in a blink of an eye, and I always feel that you look very similar to me, just like my own sister."

"Actually, strictly speaking, we are sisters." Yang Zi explained with a smile, "I heard from my mother that your great-grandmother and her family are related by blood, so we are also distant sisters, and this pair of gray pupils It is the best proof."

The steward Sawabe at the side also added aloud: "That's true. The old lady did mention this matter when she was alive, and the reason why this child is called this name is also because my son and daughter-in-law respect the old lady."

"So that's it. I always thought that there were not many relatives in my family. I didn't expect to have a younger sister now!" After listening to the explanation of the two, Xia Mei finally understood why she had such a strong sense of intimacy with the girl in front of her. If there is a blood relationship, then it makes sense.

After finishing speaking, Xia Mei happily shook Yang Zi's hand and smiled: "Shi Jun and I opened a dessert restaurant called 'Memory Sweet House' next to Mihua Park. Since you are studying in Didan High School, Yang Zi Come see me often!"

Seeing Xia Mei feeling happy from the bottom of his heart, Yang Zi felt very relieved, and agreed with a smile. After that, he followed the housekeeper Zebe to say goodbye to Xia Mei, and went to deal with the aftermath of the funeral.

On the other side, after Ishino sent his daughters back to the car to rest, he quietly found Kaito, reminding him that it was time to fulfill the previous bet.

Ishino did not explain to Kaito exactly what he was asked to do, but only asked him to pay attention to safety in the next operation and keep in touch at any time.

Kuai Dou was a little confused when he heard this, he didn't know what kind of medicine his brother-in-law was selling in the gourd, but due to the other party's lust, he had to obediently agree, hoping to complete the bet as soon as possible to get rid of the other party's clutches.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, the corners of Ishino's mouth curled up slightly, and he silently lit a piece of wax for his tool man brother-in-law, then turned and walked towards the direction where Xia Mei was sitting.

In fact, Ishino has always had a question, that is, as a person who has never seen the egg of memories, how did Kaito know the secret of the eggs of memories and Natsumi's life experience.

Even though the two families are related by marriage, judging from Kaito's performance, he obviously still doesn't know the true identity of his cousin at this point in time, which means that he only knew the secret after the Suzuki family publicly recalled the egg .

Now that I think about it, I am afraid that this kid is completely regarded as a toy tool by his mother. If there is no accident, when Suzuki Shiro announces that he will exhibit the 51st memory egg in a few days, Kuroba Chikage will tell you soon. Dou the origin of this memory egg.

Based on the principle of "returning treasures to their original owners", Kaidou, a rogue with a good sense of self-management, will take the initiative to take the initiative and send out a notice announcing that he has seized the egg of memory. The guy who coveted the wealth that has come down is drawn out, and finally achieves the goal of eliminating hidden dangers.

Since Kaito's work has already been arranged for him, Ishino doesn't intend to interfere with his actions, but after Kaito completes the task, his other goal still needs the cooperation of the other party, so he made a deal with the other party in advance call.

After something happened here, Ishino and Natsumi took their daughters back to the castle and started sorting out the relics left by Grandma Yoko.

Natsumi found the notes of her great-grandfather Kiichi Kasaka in her grandma's relics, and only then did she learn about his life experience in Russia, including his work in Faberruge's workshop and his marriage with his great-grandmother in Russia.

Naturally, she also unexpectedly found the incomplete drawing that was divided into two halves in a pile of drawings drawn by her great-grandfather.

Looking at the impressive texture on the drawing, Xia Mei immediately recognized that the Egg of Memory painted on this drawing was exactly the same as the egg of memory carved in sugar that she saw in Paris.

Facing this astonishing fact, Xia Mei called to Shi Ye who was sorting out on the other side, pointed to the pattern on the drawing and asked: "Shi Jun, take a look at this drawing, is the memory egg on it exactly the same as the one you made?" ?”

Ishino, who had been prepared in his heart for a long time, saw his wife looking at him suspiciously, and replied very calmly: "Yes, it is indeed exactly the same shape, and it should be the prototype of my work?"

"Prototype? So where did you see this egg of memory, and then imitate it to make an imitation sugar sculpture?" Xia Mei asked curiously.

"Well, I saw this egg of memory when I attended the banquet of the Suzuki Foundation a few years ago, and it should still be at Suzuki's house." As he spoke, Ishino smiled awkwardly, "I didn't expect this to happen. It's the work of Kiichi's great-grandfather, Natsumi, you won't be angry with me, will you?"
