Conan’s Corpse Picker

Suzuki Sonoko pretended to think for a moment.

Then he waved his hands and said, "I don't know. Networking that has nothing to do with the consortium is personal privacy. How can I ask casually?"

"..." Conan's eyes twitched: what on earth was he expecting just now. It's better to continue asking Jiang Xia. At least Jiang Xia has strong observation skills. As a detective, he has a lot of brainstorming skills. He might actually be able to discover something...

"Hahahahaha." Suzuki Sonoko looked at his expression, slapped her legs unceremoniously and laughed: It's so fun to trick children, no wonder Jiang Xia goes to tease him every now and then.

Jiang Xia sat next to them, always feeling like someone was talking about her.

He turned his head expectantly and looked at Pu Siqinglan.

Then it was very regrettable to find that the other party's murderous intention did not change further. It seems that the person who is talking about him is not this fragrant foreign woman.

He sighed and looked away under Pu Siqinglan's vigilant gaze.

…

Secretary Nishino quickly took the "Egg of Memory" and placed it on the table in front of everyone.

Samchuan Ryu, who went to take pictures, followed back with his camera in hand. His eyes were firmly fixed on the egg worth 800 million.

When the actual object arrived, when compared with the drawings provided by Natsumi Kasaka on the table, the difference immediately became very obvious.

——The actual "Egg of Memories" looks quite plain. The shell is not inlaid with gems. There is only a circle of crystal clear things, which is said to be inlaid with glass.

But the "Egg of Memories" on the drawing has extra finely carved and gorgeous gems on its shell. Even if it is just a black and white drawing, people can imagine its stunning appearance when it is complete.

"If the real egg of memories is a treasure like the one on the drawing..."

Pu Si Qinglan deeply loves all the treasures of the Romanov dynasty. In her eyes, these should all belong to her family. The complete "Egg of Memories" made her heart beat a little faster.

But soon, her eyes fell on the "Egg of Memories" on the table, and she gradually became confused - it was impossible for the Suzuki family to display a fake, so what happened to this bare art egg?

Jiang Xia immediately noticed her change.

His eyes followed the drawing, and he said sternly like a detective: "This memory egg may come in a set."

Several people were startled: "A complete set?"

Pu Si Qinglan also turned her eyes and couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean?"

Conan lowered his head and pointed at the drawings: "The two drawings were torn apart diagonally. On each of them, a part of the 'Egg of Memory' was drawn. However, after the drawings were put together, the dimensions of the 'Eggs of Memory' on both sides were actually different. They don’t fit together – they don’t seem to be the same size.”

Jiang Xia stretched out his hand to hold down the two pieces of paper placed together, and pushed them sideways a little, leaving some space in the middle.

With such a change, the drawing that was roughly square when put together instantly turned into a rectangle.

"It was not a piece of paper that was torn in half, but a piece of paper that was torn diagonally into at least three parts, and the middle part was missing - these were two Easter coins drawn on the same rectangular drawing. Easter eggs.”

It takes a lot of effort and money to make such exquisite Easter eggs. No designer would be frugal enough to squeeze two completely different Easter eggs onto the same drawing.

In other words, these two Easter eggs may be "memory eggs" - this is actually a set.

A group of people who came to the boat for the "Egg of Memories" lit up when they heard the news, like hungry wolves with green eyes.

…

Conan has already guessed what Jiang Xia said. He looked distractedly at the "Egg of Memory" on the table, picked it up and looked at it inquiringly.

Conan: "..." When Jiang Xia came back with the "Egg of Memory" last night, he looked up from the bottom and vaguely felt that there was a reflection at the bottom of the egg.

But at that time, my attention was still focused on questions such as "How did Jiang Xia get the egg?" "Kidd actually overturned the matter of flying a hang glider" and "Can the police catch Kidd?" Go ahead and ignore this Easter egg.

And now, it turns out that there seems to be a new mystery hidden in the "Egg of Memories". Conan remembered his question last night, raised the egg high, and looked up from the bottom. Sure enough, he saw a transparent hole at the bottom of the egg.

The light in this room is not too bright. In line with the human characteristic of "wanting to poke a hole when it's there", Conan's finger was already poking in as soon as he was distracted.

The next moment, with a soft "click" sound, a round lens suddenly fell out from the bottom of the "Egg of Memory" and fell to the ground.

Conan was startled when he heard the crisp sound: ...He, he seemed to have accidentally removed something on the Egg of Memory?

Before he could recover, Jiang Xia's ghostly voice floated next to him: "Eight hundred million."

Conan: "!!!"

"Haha." Suzuki Shiro looked at the frozen child and waved his hand kindly, "It's okay. This small lens may be an accessory that was installed later. It is easy to fall off. When Sonoko was young, he often picked it out. When I came out to play, I almost put it in my mouth and ate it..."

"Dad!" Suzuki Sonoko blushed, stood up, and interrupted the dark history that was being revealed, "Just talk about the 'Egg of Memories' and don't change the topic!"

Jiang Xia responded promptly and with dignity.

He lowered his head to pick up the small lens, observed it perfunctorily, and placed it next to the "Egg of Memory" again: "There are some very inconspicuous shadows on it, but it doesn't look like scratches - —Perhaps this is a "magic mirror" with information that some people deliberately hide on it."

...Magic mirror?

Pu Si Qinglan was startled, and then there was a hint of joy in her heart: the magic mirror is a kind of finely processed mirror that appeared earlier than many people imagined. Use it to reflect light and cast it on the wall to illuminate a pre-engraved pattern.

Some events hundreds of years ago cast a layer of mystery on the magic mirror. During the Tokugawa shogunate period, the shogunate banned Catholicism across the country, expelled missionaries, closed churches, and prohibited people from holding various religious ceremonies. Regarding Catholic activities, private gatherings were of course strictly prohibited, and hundreds of thousands of believers were brutally executed.

But there are always some stubborn believers who want to perform ceremonies in front of the cross.

In this environment, it was impossible to hide the cross, so some craftsmen made a "magic mirror" with a cross engraved on it, and used it to project the cross on the wall for prayer.

Although Pu Siqinglan is a fake scholar, as a thief with countless treasures, she is also well-informed in this regard.
