Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 578 First Encounter

After introducing Fujiwara and Moori Kogoro, the protagonist Suzuki Shiro learned that Hattori Heiji who came with him was also a famous high school detective, and happily invited everyone to join him.

"It's no problem, uncle." Heiji smiled without saying a word, and then touched Conan's hair, making Conan helpless for a while.

After introducing the visitors, Suzuki Shiro arranged for someone to take out the Easter eggs from the vault, and then introduced the four people who came to the museum before them.

Siluov Cheneyev from the Russian Embassy, ​​an art dealer, Pu Si Qinglan, a researcher from the Romanov Dynasty, and the last one is Ryu Samkawa, a freelance photography artist and author.

After everyone made a brief introduction, some people immediately expressed their interest in the eggs.

First, Siluov Chenyev from the embassy hoped that Mr. Suzuki would donate this tsarist legacy to the Russian Museum for free instead of selling it to unscrupulous profiteers.

"This is an Easter egg worth no less than 800 million."

"yes."

It can be seen that everyone seems to be interested in this egg, but not everyone can immediately spend 800 million yen.

"Okay, everyone, please go back. We'll discuss this matter tomorrow."

After hearing Chairman Suzuki's expulsion order, everyone returned disappointed. After Fujiwara and his party were left behind, Mr. Nishino also dragged a wooden box in. Following Suzuki Shiro's order, the box was opened, and the long-awaited easter egg was officially launched. Appear in front of everyone.

Suzuki Shiro looked at their backs, and until the conference room returned to silence and solemnity, he signaled to Mr. Nishino that they could start.

Mr. Nishino slowly walked towards the center of the conference table, every step he took was steady and powerful. On the table, the wooden box lay quietly. Its appearance was simple and unpretentious, but this did not reduce the expectations of everyone present for it. He gently placed his hand on the lid of the box, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the box.

As the box opened, a burst of bronze-colored luster came to the face, which was the light emitted by an extremely delicate Easter egg under the light. The patterns on the shell of the Easter egg are complex and delicate, and every hollow out looks like the craftsmen have put all their efforts into it. With a soft click from Mr. Nishino, the egg began to unfold slowly, revealing the delicate gears and mechanical structures inside.

"Wow, this is the resurrection egg. It's so beautiful..." Mao Lilan couldn't help but admire.

Mr. Nishino smiled, picked up the book on the side and began to explain, "This egg actually has another name called the Egg of Memory..."

"Egg of Memories?" Mao Lilan asked doubtfully, "Is it translated from Russian to English?"

Mr. Nishino nodded, "Yes, the Russian name is Moses Pomeranian, and translated into Japanese it is the Egg of Memories..."

Conan pushed up his glasses and asked curiously, "Why is it called the egg of memories?"

Mouri Kogoro interjected with a hint of complacency, "Idiot, it must be Nikolai's family who wants to gather together to read books and connect with each other..."

His confidence did not impress everyone present. Hongye's voice sounded at this time, calm and firm, "Why do I think it is a photo album?"

These words made everyone present silent for a while, and then they all nodded in agreement, "Photo album? It's possible. It's much more reasonable than reading a book..."

Mouri Kogoro muttered again, "Reading a book should be about the same as reading a photo album...but what the lady said makes sense." "Photo album? It's possible. It's much more reasonable than reading a book."

Fujiwara, who knew the plot, naturally knew that Hongye's words were right, but the other egg was in the hometown of the princess's descendant, and he had to wait to find the princess.

At this time Conan had another question to ask, "But don't you find it strange? This is a gift from Nicholas II to his wife."

Conan frowned, obviously he had some doubts about this simple easter egg. Indeed, for a tsar, such a gift seemed too mundane, devoid of precious metal decorations or embellishments of gemstones, and its appearance contrasted sharply with those rumored to be ornate Faberge eggs.

Suzuki Shiro touched his chin and sunk deeply into the backrest of the sofa. His eyes wandered between the silent easter eggs and Conan, seeming to be searching for a reasonable explanation. He sighed and said: "Nicholas II did order this egg when he was in financial difficulties, which was also recorded in newspapers at the time. This may indicate that there is a deeper meaning behind this gift. Meaning, not just material value.”

At this time, Hattori Heiji and Conan returned to the topic of Kidd's notice letter.

Seeing that Heiji was stumped by the issue of the notice letter, he and Ye Guqi tried to reason:
  "Could it be referring to the twelfth sound in the Japanese fifties?"

Kazuya's proposal was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in circles. Everyone immediately began to recite the Japanese fifty syllables silently. After a while, they discovered that the twelfth sound was "し(si)", which has the same sound as the number four "四(shi)". This discovery made everyone think deeply.

However, this idea was quickly rejected by the arriving police officer Zhongmori. Officer Zhongmori looked serious and said decisively: "It is impossible for Kidd to come up with such childish code words."

At this time, Mouri Kogoro suddenly stood up and patted his chest with a confident expression: "You have all been misled by Kidd. The twelve characters in the secret language are not the Japanese fifties, but the English ones. Twelve letters, L. Probably midnight means three in the morning.”

This idea seemed to give new inspiration to Officer Zhongmori and Manager Chamu. The two looked at each other and seemed to agree with this guess.

"It makes sense that three o'clock in the morning is exactly the time when the Leo and Virgo groups are approaching, and it is also consistent with the meaning of the notice. That guy Kidd must want to come from the castle tower."

Everyone decided to adopt this proposal and immediately began to deploy security measures.

Hattori Heiji saw that everyone was busy around the notice letter, and he suggested: "Let's take you for a walk, and by the way, we can go to the shrine to draw lots and see if we can get some tips."

Heiji's proposal was unanimously approved, and even Fujiwara didn't think there was any problem. Anyway, that's how the plot worked.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Fujiwara suddenly heard a familiar voice and looked closely to see it was Aoko and Kaito.

"Kaito, do you want me to stay here and arrest Kid?" Nakamori Aoko waved the mobile team's shield and baton with some difficulty, looking at Kaito's scalp numb, not knowing what to do. You should laugh or cry.

He never expected that Qingzi would follow him.

"What, isn't it appropriate?" Qingzi said with a pretentious smile, "As long as I can't steal the easter egg in Kidd, I will blow his head off."

"Yes, yes, you are the most powerful."
