I play color 6 in rice flower town

There is a price to be paid for insisting on going your own way and engaging in show operations.

That night, the Osaka Police Department mobilized all available police forces to search for the whole night along the direction Kidd fled from, even Osaka Bay was not spared.

This is a final, hopeless effort... or rather a struggle.

Unexpectedly, however, the Osaka police finally found the egg of memory that Kidd had taken along by the port of Osaka Bay before dawn.

Judging from the situation at the scene, Kidd seems to have chosen to throw away the Egg of Memory, together with the wooden box in which it was packed, on the way to escape when he was attacked as a last resort.

At the scene, besides the egg worth [-] million, there was also a pair of shattered monocles, and a poor white googugu who couldn't move because of a wing injury...

The staff of the search department believed that this was also an important clue to hunt down Kidd, so they brought it back together with the egg of memory and the monocle.

As a result, the wing-injured Bai Gugu was acquitted after the most sloppy interrogation in the history of the police, and was temporarily handed over to the careful Xiaolan to take care of him.

The objects left by Kidd found at the scene were sent to Maori and others, but considering that Kidd was already in a Schrödinger state where no one was alive or dead, these objects were of little value.

So far, Kidd's notice letter incident has come to an end here.

……

……

The next day, in order to determine whether the egg was damaged, the Suzuki Art Museum urgently stopped the exhibition of the Egg of Memories, and used the exclusive cruise ship of the Suzuki Foundation to transport it back to Tokyo for inspection.

The companions are still the chief executive and others, as well as those guys who tried to buy the egg of memories in the art gallery.

Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha did not go together because they live in Osaka, but they just made an appointment with each other to come and play with them next time.

There is one more person...

On the cruise ship, everyone gathered together and listened to a young woman tell a story about the egg of memory on the sofa in the reception room.

"My great-grandfather was named Kiichi. He worked as a worker in a Faberge factory and married a Russian woman there. The two returned to Japan together in the second year after the outbreak of the revolution. My great-grandmother gave birth to a baby girl. That was my grandmother, but my great-grandmother passed away soon after, and my great-grandfather died nine years later at the age of 45...”

The woman claimed to be the great-granddaughter of the maker of the Egg of Memories, named Kasaka Natsumi.

Kasaka Natsumi was originally a pastry chef living in Paris. This time, she returned to China to sort out the relics of her grandmother who just passed away last month. However, she accidentally discovered the design drawings of the eggs of memories drawn by her great-grandfather a long time ago. .

"I think this should be the blueprint drawn by my great-grandfather when he was making the Egg of Memories. Because it's been a long time, it looks very old."

Speaking of which, Kasaka Natsumi smiled, took out a design drawing from the satchel, carefully unfolded the two stacked pieces of paper, put them on the table and stitched them together.

Those were two torn pieces of paper, the upper and lower parts of the egg were depicted on the pieces of paper, and when the two pieces of paper were spliced ​​together, it formed the appearance of the egg of memories.

At the same time, Secretary Nishino, who went to get the eggs from the vault, also happened to come back, and put the egg of memory, which was about to be brought back to Tokyo for inspection and repair, on the coffee table and placed it in front of everyone.

"MEMORIES, memories... are indeed the eggs of memories, but there are gems embedded in them."

Chairman Suzuki looked down carefully, and soon discovered some differences.

In the drawings, the upper part of the memory egg is inlaid with a ring of gems, but the memory egg on the coffee table is not. There are only a few small holes left in the place where the gems should be inlaid.

"Could it be that the gems that were originally inlaid on it fell off?" Mori Kogoro speculated with a serious face, his chin propped up.

"That wouldn't mean that there was no one left. It might be that someone picked it up..."

Kudo Souji folded his arms and looked down at the drawing from top to bottom. He changed several angles but always felt that something was wrong.

Conan, who had been studying silently by the coffee table, suddenly raised his head and said.

"I thought... could these be two eggs?"

"Because you see, although this blueprint looks like it was torn from the middle, the outline of the egg on the blueprint doesn't match at all."

"what?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Ah~ I understand." Clenched his fist and lightly finalized it, Souji Kudo suddenly realized, "If I remember correctly, this design pattern should be a Russian matryoshka."

"Matryoshka?"

"Uh, to put it simply, put a layer of bigger eggs on the outside of this egg, and then put another layer and another layer and another layer and another layer and another layer and another layer and another layer. ..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Conan felt a little headache when he heard it: "According to what you said, wouldn't it be possible to make infinite sets of dolls?"

"Theoretically... that's the case." Souji Kudo nodded after thinking for a while, "However, according to the size difference between the two eggs on the drawing, Miss Natsumi's great-grandfather should have only made two."

Mori Kogoro was a little confused: "Then according to what you said, besides this egg, there should be another egg of memory?"

"should be."

"where is it?"

"..."

Souji Kudo opened his mouth and wanted to curse.

Damn, he couldn't answer this question, what is where, and he is not a god, so it is possible that he knows everything?

"Hey! I accidentally dropped it!"

Just when everyone was silent because the clues were broken, Conan, who was lying beside the coffee table, suddenly screamed.

It turned out that when everyone was not paying attention, he picked up the memory egg on the table and was about to study it, but accidentally knocked off a small disk-shaped mirror under the egg.

"what?!!!"

This frightened Mori Kogoro.

That's an egg worth [-] million!A total of [-] million!If so much money is damaged, even if he sells him, he will not be able to pay for it! ! !

Looking at the small mirror that fell from the egg in Conan's hand, Mori Kogoro felt his whole body soften.

Ruined……

"Ah, that little mirror, it's all right."

However, Yuanzi glanced at it, waved his hands and smiled, "That mirror fell off easily, it seems that it was installed later."

"It's... is it? That's great..."

After getting Sonoko's affirmative answer, Mori Kogoro let out a heavy sigh of relief, then, as if all the strength had been taken out of him, he slumped back to the sofa.

To be honest, he is only a short distance away from being in debt of [-] million yen, after all, he is Conan's de facto guardian right now.

The sharp-eyed Souji Kudo noticed that when Conan picked up the dropped small mirror, some patterns seemed to be vaguely engraved on the mirror surface of the small mirror.

"Hmm~ let me take a look, what seems to be engraved on this mirror?"

"Give."

Taking the small mirror from Conan, Souji Kudo pinched the edge of the mirror with his index finger and thumb, looked at the light above his head for a while, then turned around and walked to the door of the room, raised his hand to close the mirror under everyone's puzzled eyes. The lighting in the room was turned off, and darkness once again enveloped the room.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a small tactical flashlight from his pocket, turned it on, adjusted the light mode to columnar, and aimed it at the mirror in his hand.

I saw a beam of light shot out from the flashlight, and after being reflected by the mirror, it shone on the wall.

In the end, an outline of the shape of a castle was formed.

===============

PS: The durian mille crepe cake I ordered arrived this morning, and I cut a small piece for breakfast.

Just when I went back to the room with the cake!My dog ​​suddenly ran over

Because it knows that when I return to the room with something, it usually means that I have something delicious in my hand.

Chapter 23 Chapter 22

A huge German-style castle in Yokosuka.

Kasaka Natsumi only glanced at it and told the origin of the ghost image of the castle refracted on the magic mirror.

...It was the castle built by her great-grandfather and great-grandmother, and her grandmother was in charge of taking care of it until last month.

"I didn't expect that Miss Xia Mei is also the eldest lady of a rich family, and she is also an authentic noble lady with a castle at home. She is beautiful and gentle, just like a princess."

"No... Actually, not at all."

Souji Kudo's unsparing praise made the pastry chef somewhat shy.

"Everyone is here, you should pay attention to your nonsense." Conan frowned when he heard it.

In fact, it's not that Souji Kudo's mouth is particularly bad. In most cases, he is a guy who can speak well and understand the atmosphere to please girls.

In other words, he just likes to line up with certain people.

For example...

"Then I'm really sorry for not having a castle in my house!"

Suzuki Sonoko, who felt that she had been belittled for no reason, poked her waist and said angrily, presumably if Suzuki Shiro and others were not there, she would have gritted her teeth and waved her fist.

Facing the angry Sonoko, Kudo Souji directly looked up at the sky and pretended not to see it, and after thinking about it, he muttered to himself: "...I don't think a castle can solve it?"

Hey Hey hey!I'm already muttering to myself, so keep your voice down, don't talk until everyone can hear you, okay?

"Well, can Mr. Mori accompany me to the castle after returning to Tokyo?" Kasaka Natsumi asked sincerely, turning her eyes to the only "famous detective" present for help.

"Of course no problem, I'd be happy to oblige."

Naturally, Kogoro Mori could not refuse the request made by the young and beautiful woman, so he readily agreed.

However, what is surprising is that after Miss Natsumi sent the invitation to Mori Kogoro, other people in the room, like wolves smelling fresh flesh, rushed to express their hope to go together.

What kind of situation is this?

Conan stared blankly at the people who had been silent before suddenly becoming more active one by one, and couldn't help being a little dumbfounded for a while.

What the hell, is it possible that this group of people wants to monopolize the second egg?

The so-called hustle and bustle is all for profit, but the innocent and kind-hearted Miss Xia Mei obviously didn't notice this, she just smiled and agreed one by one.

……

……

The itinerary from Osaka to Tokyo has been finalized, and everyone returned to their respective rooms on the cruise ship to rest.

In the room, Xiaolan was applying medicine and bandaging the pigeons with injured wings, while Kudo Sousji and Conan slumped on the sofa next to them boredly chatting with each other.

Of course, the topic revolves around the Kaitou Kid who was attacked near Osaka Bay.

"I wonder if Kaitou Kidd is dead?"

Xiaolan, who had just finished bandaging the pigeons, interrupted suddenly.

Because of Mori Kogoro, she has seen the monocle that was obviously shattered by bullets, and she can understand the topics discussed by the chief executive and Conan.

"I don't think so." Souji Kudo, who was lying on the sofa, lazily changed his posture, "I've seen that pair of glasses, the lens was smashed but not stained with blood, and although the lens is not bulletproof His ability has only been strengthened, I think Kidd should have pretended to be shot after realizing that he was attacked, and fell into the sea."

"Is that so..."

"Hey, by the way, you have confronted Kidd before, right?"

Turning over again to face Conan, Souji Kudo asked suddenly.

The former gave him a strange look and said.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Oh nothing, I just wanted to ask if the Kidd you met was a man or a woman."

"Huh? Of course it's a man, what's the matter? Is there a female Kidd?"

Conan looked at the chief in surprise, wondering if this guy might be a little gender-agnostic.

"No, it's nothing, just pretend that I didn't ask anything." Mr. Kudo said perfunctorily.

Although it was only for a short moment, he did feel the softness even through the soles of military boots.

There is no doubt that when he bumped into Kidd, he really kicked Kidd on the other side.

And in the smoke, just before Kidd jumped out of the window and fled, he instinctively grabbed and ripped off the other party's manners. Although he couldn't see it with his own eyes, he was sure that it was definitely waist-length hair.
