Conan: The Mechanic

The next day (although strictly speaking it is the same day, which is still October 8) at 2:30 pm.

"The application was rejected," Officer Nakamori frowned slightly while looking at the telegram in his hand. "But they say 'the necessary strength will be provided in other ways'... The meaning of the order turned out to be—"

"Yes, that's me." Shiratori Ren Saburo from Search Section 1 nodded in response to Officer Nakamori.

"I thought they would send me more staff, but now you're the only one?" Officer Nakamori snorted. "Really, that's a professional killer. If we really do it, all of us will die here!"

"Well, don't underestimate my ability, I am also the top student in shooting at the police academy, and I have also participated in many complex drills and several actual combats-by the way, let me tell you a little news, I am not just a person. ."

"What do you mean, how many detectives did you bring from the search class?" Officer Nakamori stared into Officer Shiratori's eyes.

"I brought a few new recruits from the National Police Agency to come over and run in together," Police Officer Shiratori said calmly, as if it wasn't a big deal. "You know, after Mr. Amuro died in the line of duty, the main post was vacant, and the police chief Matsumoto assumed the deputy post to handle related affairs, and I was in charge of being the mascot for the main post. After another two or three years, there will be a senior police officer. That guy transferred from the detective industry to the professional group, and then inherited the family business——"

"Don't say it anymore, I understand. Anyway, you brought a professional here, right?" Officer Nakamori interrupted Officer Shiratori. "Well... in that case, let's make some arrangements first."

"By the way, can I visit the [Egg of Memories] first?" Sergeant Shiratori made his request. "After all, the ultimate goal is to protect this treasure. I think it's better to at least see what it looks like first..."

"That egg is being used now," Officer Nakamori shook his head. "A lady visited Mr. Suzuki and the others, and the egg was taken away."

"A... miss?" Shiratori Ren Saburo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It seems that someone came back from Paris specifically to talk to the president about this," Officer Nakamori suddenly recalled when he said this. "She shouldn't be, because her physical features did not match our interpretation yesterday - of course, your worries are indeed not completely impossible, but our security forces are also outside the door, and we can first Immediately implement countermeasures.”

"Although I want to say some discouragement, such as 'Forget it outside the door, if you can't shoot each other in the first time, you will let the other party kill all the big people worth several trillion in seconds' or something— —" As soon as Officer Shiratori said this, he saw Officer Nakamori's expression change. "Ah, don't be nervous, she won't be able to run away in this situation, so she definitely won't do such a foolish thing. Maybe that person is really a big guy."

……

Meanwhile, upstairs.

Shirou Suzuki, Kogoro Mori, Eri Concubine and an unfamiliar young woman were sitting on the sofa, while an old housekeeper stood beside the young woman, and a young servant stood beside Shiro Suzuki.

And the young woman is saying something.

"My name is [Kasaka Natsumi], and my great-grandfather [Kasaka Kiichi] used to be a worker in Faberge's workshop and adopted a boy locally, my grandfather. In the coming year of the revolution, they He returned to Japan for refuge and lived here until his death in 1927.

"But last month, my grandfather passed away - my parents died in a car accident five years ago, and my grandmother died of a hemorrhage after giving birth to my father, so it's my only relative - so I traveled from Paris to I rushed back to clean up the relics of my ancestors. But... as you can see, I found this drawing marked [Egg of Memories] in the relics - although it may be due to poor preservation, this picture The paper was torn in the middle."

Saying so, Kasaka Natsumi put the folded blueprint on the table and spread it out, showing it to everyone present.

Those are two fragments of the drawing, and the two fragments belong to the upper and lower parts of the drawing, respectively, recording the upper third and the lower left third of an egg-shaped object. Although the two rolls of paper seem to belong to the same paper material, it is strange that the [eggs of memory] depicted on these two pictures seem to have a subtle sense of incongruity.

"Well, we also saw this... photocopy of this drawing that you sent us~www.readwn.com~ and hoped to invite you here to talk about it." Shiro Suzuki nodded. "We have checked it carefully. The shape of the [Egg of Memories] is exactly the same as the pattern depicted in the first half of this drawing."

Saying this, Shiro Suzuki motioned to the servant who had already put on white gloves to take out two delicate airtight bags, and carefully placed the two blueprints held by Kasaka Natsumi in a rather rude and unprofessional way into the transparent seal. In the bag, and then signaled everyone to look over.

"Look, the reason we say [the pattern described in the upper half of this drawing is exactly the same] is because we believe that the so-called two different fragments from the same picture actually come from two Different drawings. As for the evidence, because the eggs on the two sheets of paper cannot be bridged at all, it is reasonable to presume that the partial fragments of the drawings belong to two different eggs."

"I actually noticed this too, but I thought it was this [Egg of Memory] that wasn't a standard egg shape, but was decorated with some external protrusions," Kasaka Natsumi seemed to agree with Suzuki quite a bit. Shiro's statement. "But if it's two eggs... the rest of the rest, where are the remaining drawings that should be much larger than these two fragments? And where exactly is the easter egg depicted in the drawing below? ?"

"We don't know this, because the [Egg of Memories] we have now is quite close to an empty shell. Maybe the picture next to it is an Easter egg installed in the shell." Shiro Suzuki shook his head. "By the way, Miss Kasaka, do you have any other clues that might be related to all this?"

Just as they were talking about this, a landline phone in the room suddenly rang.
