Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 164 Photo Album
"As expected, Mr. Xiyi did not make two eggs separately, but made two sets of memory eggs like this. This is the complete form of this work of art!" Ovchinnikov said excitedly .

"That's right, it really is an ingenious piece of work." Kogoro Mori moved closer and nodded in approval, "Speaking of which, the diamond on it is really big, so it must be very valuable!"

It's just that the two of them hadn't been excited for long before they were poured cold water by the voice from the side.

"No, these are just ordinary glass." Qinglan walked up to the two of them, pointed to the biggest gemstone on the top and said, "Do you see that the luster of this one is the same as the glass gemstone on the egg inside?" almost?"

"Glass, glass? How could it be?!" Ovchinnikov couldn't believe it for a while, he quickly opened the outer eggshell, compared it carefully with the glass of the egg inside, and found that it was indeed the same luster, so he could only helplessly accepted the fact.

Observing the change of expression on the opponent's face, Qinglan sneered in her heart, took the egg of memory from the opponent's stiff hands, walked to the pedestal in the middle of the stone room, lit the flashlight in her pocket and placed it face up in the middle of the pedestal. in the groove.

As an elite killer who can solve the mystery of Kaito Kidd's notice earlier than Conan and Hattori Heiji, Pusi Qinglan is not inferior to those two young detectives in terms of wisdom, and her experience and experience are even higher than them.

Since she had long since lost the idea of ​​capturing the eggs of memories, and regarded herself as a member of the Kasaka family, she quickly discovered the secret hidden in this group of eggs with the help of previous clues.

Conan, who was still thinking about the mechanism behind the combination of these two eggs, saw Qinglan's actions at this moment, and he figured out what the mechanism hidden in the memory egg was, and immediately ran to the candlestick He began to blow out the candles.

Qinglan didn't expect that it was Conan who guessed what she was going to do next first, but she didn't say much, but smiled and said to the other children: "Kids, help me blow out all the other candles." Mie, okay, now is the time to witness the magic miracle of the greatest magician at the end of the last century!"

"Okay, leave it to us!" Hearing that there was a magic show, several children ran to the candlestick and began to blow out the candles. torch off.

When the stone room returned to darkness, Qinglan placed the egg of memory on the only light source, and the base of the egg was stuck in the groove of the pedestal tightly.

As the light enters from the small hole at the bottom of the Egg of Memories, first the outer eggshell gradually glows and becomes transparent, and then the inner eggshell begins to become transparent, revealing the family of Emperor Nicholas II in the middle. Gold doll.

"This egg has become transparent!" Xiaolan couldn't help exclaiming when she saw the strange change in the eggshell.

"Oh my god, it's amazing, the dolls of the emperor's family have risen up!" The three little ones also exclaimed at the same time.

"The inside of this egg is very special, it is the design of the luminance meter." Kaito made a reasonable explanation after carefully observing through the transparent eggshell.

When the puppet rose to the most central position of the egg, as the pages of the book in the hands of the emperor puppet were spread out evenly, a beam of intense light shot from the bottom to the book, refracted into countless lines of light with the help of a circle of glass gems around it, It finally converged on the largest glass gem at the top.

And the change in the next second directly caused everyone present to fall into a huge shock. They saw rays of light shoot out from the glass gem and projected onto the huge and flat spherical dome above the stone chamber, reflecting a picture A projection of a black and white photo.

"This, this is!" Seeing the miraculous magic show in front of them, except Ishino and Yoko, everyone including Natsumi couldn't hide their astonishment and exclaimed.

"This is...a photo of Emperor Nicholas' family!" Ovchinnikov confirmed after carefully identifying the characters in the picture and comparing it with the photos he had seen in the museum.

"It turns out that what the dolls in the egg are looking at is really a photo album, no wonder they named it 'Memory'." Mouri Kogoro looked at Xia Mei with admiration and praised, "Your great-grandfather really deserves to be a magician at the end of the century. , Such a design is really incredible!"

"If my great-grandfather heard such a compliment, he would be very happy." Hearing what the other party said, Xia Mei smiled and nodded.

Looking at the pictures above her head, Qing Lan said with regret in her pupils: "If Emperor Nicholas II's family had not been killed, then this work can really be regarded as the most precious gift." It's..."

"Aunt Xia Mei, is that photo your great-grandfather?" Conan interrupted the exclamation of several people at this time, pointing to a projection above and asked, "That photo of two people sitting on a bench together , that lady should be your great-grandmother, right?"

"Really! I think that's the way it should be." Looking at the extremely friendly face in the photo, Xia Mei couldn't help but said with moist eyes, "That's what my great-grandmother used to look like, I finally saw her... "

Seeing Xia Mei's sentimental appearance, Ishino walked to her side and put his arms around her shoulders, saying: "Only the image material of this photo is different from the others. It seems that it was added by my great-grandfather to commemorate my great-grandmother."

"Well, great-grandfather must have loved great-grandmother deeply, so he put the photo of the two of them in it." Feeling the warmth from Ishino's arm, Xia Mei looked at each other with gentle eyes and nodded.

While everyone was still looking at the daily photos recording the life of Emperor Nicholas' family, Conan focused his attention on Princess Maria's face.

Although Maria's clothing, hairstyle and makeup in the group photo have changed a lot, her exquisite and beautiful facial features are obviously similar to the image in the childhood photo.

At first, when he saw the photos of Princess Maria when she was young, Conan felt that the appearance of the other party was somewhat similar to Natsumi, but not much. But suddenly found that the other party's face was more like the girl in the photo.

This discovery has shaken his original guess about the identity of Natsumi's great-grandmother. After all, if according to his reasoning, Natsumi, who is a direct blood relative, should obviously be more similar to Maria. Could it be that the fact is just because he can't tell the difference? What about the foreigner's appearance?
After all, it is always difficult for most Asians to distinguish the appearance of Europeans and Americans who are not very familiar with them. In addition, the photos are old and the clarity is not so high. The possibility of misjudgment is still very high...
