Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 154 The Second Egg
"I see. Since Ms. Kasaka needs help, it is my duty to do so..." Mouri Kogoro patted his chest and agreed, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Conan who was secretly playing with the egg on the coffee table, and snapped, "Hey! Are you here?" What are you doing, brat?!"

Conan, who was shaken by Uncle Maoli's sudden drinking, accidentally knocked off a lens at the bottom of the eggshell, so frightened that he quickly bent down to pick it up from the ground and said with an embarrassed smile: "A small lens was accidentally dropped, Fortunately, there is a carpet underneath, so there is nothing wrong."

Kogoro Mouri just wanted to get mad when he heard the words, Yuanzi on the side immediately smoothed things over and said: "It's okay, that small mirror was easy to disassemble, it seems that it was installed later."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but Xiao Ai, who was opposite him, joked with a smirk on his face: "You are lucky, Edogawa, if you break the egg, even if you sell you, you won't be able to pay for it." oh."

Hearing the ridicule from Xiao Ai's poisonous tongue, Conan's mouth twitched, and he quickly picked up the small mirror to put it back, but when he turned the mirror upside down, the light from the roof shone on the mirror , a magical projection appeared on his other hand.

Seeing the pattern in his hand, Conan immediately turned to Masato Nishino who was standing next to the light switch and said, "Mr. Nishino, please turn off the light, I have some new discoveries to show."

Masato Nishino was taken aback when he heard the words, and then looked at Suzuki Shiro on the sofa. Seeing that the other party nodded slightly in agreement, he raised his hand to turn off the light in the room, and the scene instantly became dark.

Under the curious eyes of everyone, Conan turned on the flashlight on his watch and pointed it at the small mirror, projecting the reflected light onto the flat wall, reflecting the image of a majestic castle, which aroused everyone's amazement.

"It seems that this small mirror is a magic mirror." The go-getter standing next to the projection said with a clear expression, "I heard that this kind of mirror can use reflection to turn The pattern is projected onto the wall."

Seeing the castle pattern on the wall, Conan suddenly recalled the experience of being raped some time ago, and quickly turned his head to look at Xiao Ai, who was a little surprised, and said, "Hey, Huiyuan, could the castle above be..."

"That's right, the one above that is the castle in Yokosuka." Xiao Ai nodded affirmatively, "This castle was designed and built by Grandfather Kiichi's father, and it belongs to the Kasaka family's castle."

"Sister Xia Mei, I didn't expect your family to have such a big castle." Xiao Lan, who heard about this for the first time, looked at Xia Mei with admiration and sighed.

"Yeah, it's just that Shi Jun and I usually live in Mihua Town. Now only the housekeeper Sawabe and others are in charge of the castle. Xiaolan, if you like it, you are welcome to be a guest at any time." Xia Mei smiled at Xiaolan send invitation.

Now that the projected image had been confirmed, Conan turned off the flashlight, and Masato Nishino also turned on the light switch at the same time, and the whole room was bright again.

"I know!" At this moment, Mori Kogoro suddenly concluded with confidence, "Since these two eggs were made by Mr. Kiichi Kasaka, the pattern on the magic mirror must point to another egg." Where a gem-encrusted egg of memory resides."

"I see. Does this mean that the old key I found in my grandma's belongings is also the key to solving the mystery?" Xia Mei nodded in agreement with the other party's reasoning, and then took out a thick bronze key from her bag and showed it to the other party. .

"In my opinion, this should be the key to the place where the second egg is stored." Seeing the other party take out a new prop, Mori Kogoro affirmed his idea more confidently.

Seeing that it was rare for the Maori detective to get the correct answer first, Ishino felt that the other party was quite reliable occasionally. It seemed that this famous detective belonged to the type with high upper and lower limits.

"Is it a dream egg inlaid with gems?" The Russian ambassador whispered while pinching his chin.

"If found, it will be worth at least one billion... No, at least 15 billion yen!" Hearing the ambassador's whisper, the general raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the other party.

Hearing the art dealer's valuation, everyone except Ishino's family and Suzuki's father and daughter were shocked. Among them, the eyes of those who participated in the appraisal yesterday were even brighter.

"Mr. Mori, if it's convenient for you to go back to Tokyo, can you accompany us back to the castle to look for the second egg?" At this time, Natsumi took the initiative to invite, "Of course, Xiaolan and Conan-kun are also welcome to visit the castle together. .”

"Very happy." Mori Kogoro readily agreed, and Xiaolan and Conan also happily accepted the invitation.

"Can you please let me go too?"

"me too."

"Please, please allow me to take pictures with you."

Seeing that the Maoli family received the invitation, Ovchinnikov, Gan Jiangyi and Han Chuanlong couldn't hold back any longer, and they all made requests to go with them.

"Then I want to go too." Seeing the impatient performance of the three, Pusi Qinglan quietly communicated with Shi Ye with her eyes, and also expressed her desire to go together.

"I would like to take this opportunity to invite Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko. They have long wanted to come to the castle to play, is that okay?" Thinking of the expectations of the children for the tour of the castle, Xiaosaki also looked at her mother and asked road.

Although she didn't have much affection for the three men with obvious greed in their eyes, considering the atmosphere of the scene, Xia Mei still welcomed them with a ladylike smile: "Okay, then call them, let's all go together."

Conan and Xiao Ai also observed the strange expressions on the faces of those who offered to go with them, and suspected that these people had the idea of ​​snatching the eggs of memories, so they became vigilant.

And Ishino sneered in his heart, hoping that the three of them would not regret their choices.

……

After the meeting, the five girls Natsumi, Xiaolan, Yuanzi, Yangzi and Qinglan gathered together in a luxury suite on the ship for an afternoon tea party, and Conan, relying on the fact that he was a child, also mixed in with Xiaoai and Xiaosaki In the tea party of a group of girls.

Although Xiaolan and Yuanzi have known Xia Meimei for several months, they have never had the opportunity to sit down and chat like today. Out of puberty girls yearning for romantic love, the two immediately began to gossip about each other's relationship with her husband Shi Lai.

Hearing the two bring up this topic, Xiao Ai and Xiao Saki, who originally only wanted to be mascots, immediately pricked up their ears and looked at Xia Mei with burning eyes, full of curiosity about the love story of their adoptive parents.

Qing Lan who was sitting next to Xia Mei was also very interested in the experience of her distant sister, she turned sideways and waited for what the other party would say.

Even Yangzi looked at Xia Mei with a smile in his eyes, wanting to hear how that kid Ishino tricked his granddaughter into his hands.

Seeing a group of girls, big and small, all looking at her, although Xia Mei was a little shy, she still narrated her experience of meeting Ishino in Paris under the expectant eyes of everyone.
