Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1391 [Okiya Subaru, come to be a younger brother]

In the center of the hall was a wooden coffin with a huge lock hanging on it, and some burnt candles were placed in the lampstands on both sides.

There is only one flashlight for lighting, which is really shabby.

Jiang Xia took out the lighter and lit the candles on both sides.

The gloomy candlelight flickered, and the passage and the wooden coffin were stained with a faint yellow layer, and the environment suddenly became very atmospheric.Jiang Xia nodded slightly in satisfaction.

The warm light dispelled the darkness, Kasaka Natsumi finally recovered.She stepped up the steps carefully and came to the wooden coffin, as if she had guessed something, her heart beat violently.

"This lock is really big." The "White Bird Police Department" weighed the lock, looked at the keyhole, a little itch, and instinctively wanted to challenge it.

But before he took out the lockpicking tool, Jiang Xia turned to look at Kasaka Natsumi: "You took it out with the blueprint earlier, it seems to have a key?"

"Ah, yes!" Kosaka Natsumi recovered, hurriedly opened the bag, and took out a huge key from it.

Kidd: "..."

...Forget it, it will be the same if you try again later.

He stepped aside as if nothing had happened, holding a flashlight to help Natsumi Kasaka illuminate, looking like a normal good policeman.

Kasaka Natsumi lifted the lock, inserted the key and turned it, and with a click, the lock was opened.

She herself was a little surprised: "It's really the key here."

"Open the coffin to see?"

Although it seems that it is not polite to the dead to lift the coffin without authorization.But now they have no idea what's inside, maybe it's just an empty coffin.

Kasaka Natsumi nodded, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Jiang Xia was the closest. He walked over, looked at the heavy dusty coffin lid, and suddenly missed the vodka in the distance.

Jiang Xia: "..." It's nice to have a younger brother, for example, it can come in handy at such a time... It's a pity that Matsuda Jinpei already has the status of "Uzo", which is fine for taking the blame, but it's not easy to bring it out at ordinary times When open the coffin coolie.It would be great if there was one more "assistant" on the bright side.

Although he borrowed vodka as an assistant, this guy's identity is obviously not visible, he can only be tricked out occasionally to squeeze ice cream, and it is impossible to form a team every day.

Thinking about it, a face suddenly appeared in Jiang Xia's mind: squinting eyes, light-colored hair, and a professional field that overlaps with vodka—the universal graduate student who is gradually awakening his event physique, Okiya Subaru.

Jiang Xia: "..." It's a pity that this person has already hooked up with Akai Shuichi.

But after thinking about it, it doesn't matter what comes first, first served, when it comes to accepting younger brothers.And doesn't Akai Shuichi already have a loyal fbi brother?This graduate student should not be of much use to him...

While secretly distracted, he and the people next to him lifted up the coffin lid vigorously and pushed it aside.

The flashlight shone in, reflecting a skeleton lying quietly in the coffin.

The skeleton is wearing rotting clothes. After a hundred years, people and fabrics are as old as a handful of dirt. Only the chest of the skeleton is dazzling-there is a red Easter egg with a shell studded with gems, which is similar to that of the Suzuki family. The shape of the egg is very similar.

"Egg of memory! Another egg of memory on the blueprint!"

The ambassador was agitated, followed him to think of something, looked at the corpse, and asked Kasaka Natsumi: "This is your great-grandfather?"

Kasaka Natsumi shook her head: "It should be my great-grandmother—in the family cemetery in Yokosuka, there is only my great-grandfather's remains. Maybe because my great-grandmother was a foreigner, she was not buried in the family cemetery. I also doubted my great-grandmother Where did your body go, I didn't expect..." It has been hidden under the castle.

She stretched out her hand and carefully picked up the "egg of memory" on the chest of the corpse.

The shell of the egg is dotted with rose-shaped gemstones and inlaid with golden branches, which is extremely gorgeous.

But the moment she picked it up, Kasaka Natsumi was slightly taken aback—compared with the simple "memory egg" in Suzuki's house, although this easter egg is a circle larger, it seems to be much lighter.

Jiang Xia took the egg in her hand, opened the top half, and looked inside.

Art dealers and ambassadors also came over and looked inside excitedly.

Then freeze for a while.

——There is nothing inside the easter egg.

This egg, which was carefully hidden in the underground coffin, was actually just an empty eggshell.

"Inside the other egg of memory is the golden statue of the emperor's family. How could this one be so empty? Could it be that the gemstone on the shell of that egg was sold to build the castle, and the golden statue inside was sold in this one?" ?” The art dealer slapped his thigh heartbrokenly, “It’s better to sell the whole one! At least that way both of them are complete, and I can…”

Jiang Xia was so quarreled by him, she backed away, and interrupted politely: "The two eggs are one big and one small, and the big one has grooves at the bottom, maybe there is nothing in it, it was designed as a Russian egg." In the form of nesting dolls.”

"Matryoshka?" The art dealer was a little far away from his childhood, and it took a few seconds to remember, "Is it the kind of wooden doll that is nested one by one with smaller toys inside after it is opened?"

Jiang Xia nodded.

The ambassador also understood, and he pointed to the bottom of the eggshell: "So the groove here is not because the original thing has been taken away, but it has been carved in advance to put another egg in?...It's a pity , that egg is not there, otherwise it can be combined, let’s see what effect it has.”

Beside, "White Bird Police Department" suddenly smiled when he heard this sentence.

"I have long thought that such a thing might happen, so..." He reached into his bag and took out an egg naturally, "I asked Chairman Suzuki to borrow it."

Jiang Xia turned to look at him, thought for a while, and showed a little suspicious look.

Almost at the same time, Conan's eyes also fell on the "White Bird Police Department": "..." I have expected this kind of thing for a long time... Can the White Bird Police Department have such a foresight?
Either this police department just wants to play with "memory eggs", or...

Conan suddenly remembered the missing Kidd.

——If it was true that Kidd fell from the air the night before yesterday after being plotted against by "School Bing", then he certainly wouldn't have just lost in such a dismal manner.

Perhaps at this time, it was not only the unknown "Scholar Shi Kaobing" who was mixed in the crowd, but also Kidd, who was good at disguise.

Thinking of this, Conan subconsciously looked up at Jiang Xia.

I saw that Jiang Xia was also looking at the "White Bird Police Department" meaningfully, as if he had doubts about him.

This made Conan more confident in his judgment.At the same time, he couldn't help itching his hands, and wanted Jiang Xia to grab the face of the "White Bird Police Department" to see if there was a layer of disguise on it-of course, he wanted to solve the mystery by himself, but unfortunately he was a bit tall The gap cannot reach the face of "White Bird Police Department".
