Chapter 1835 Gao Yuan’s historical conjecture

As everyone entered the office of Mr. Kiichi Kasaka on the first floor of the castle, and looked at the bookshelves placed here and the photos taken by cameras from the last century on the walls, everyone present was stunned. It was natural to start looking around.

Among them, Ganshouichi is very sharp-eyed. Among the photos placed on one wall, he saw a photo of Kasaka Kiichi and Rasputin, and clicked on this photo, which looked very special. He made a surprised sound, attracting everyone's attention——

"Hey! Look! This man is Rasputin!"

In this way, as Gan Jiangyi's words rang out, everyone present was naturally attracted by his words. Looking at the photo he pointed to, Gao Yuan was the only one present because he had known such a result for a long time. So I didn't pay too much attention to it and continued to look around at the photos here.

In this way, while everyone else was still surprised to see the photos of Kasaka Kiichi and Rasputin, Gao Yuan, who was very sharp-eyed, noticed a photo of a person in those photos. The figure above attracted Gao Yuan's attention greatly——

An old man with a fat body, a pointed nose, wearing a black suit, a white scarf, and holding a cane...

This image, because Gao Yuan knew the original work, so the moment he saw this image, Gao Yuan thought of the character who only appeared in silhouette in the original work...

The founder of the black organization, the original owner of the Twilight Hall, and the rich man who is suspected to be still alive, Karasuma Renya!

This image is so similar to the silhouette that appeared in the original work, and this photo was taken by Mr. Kiichi Kasaka. Combined with the basically certain period of Karasuma Renya’s birth in the original work, we can roughly guess the era of the shooting——

Calculating the period from the mid-19th century to the Russian Revolution at the beginning of the last century, Renye Karasuma at that time was probably in his fifties or sixties, which is basically consistent with the age of the man in the photo.

Combined with the information obtained from the Suzuki Consortium, the Suzuki Consortium's "memory easter egg" was sold to the Suzuki Consortium by a rich man named Karasuma 70 or 80 years ago.

In this way, if you consider the two things together, no matter how you think about it, it is not a coincidence——

Kasaka Kiichi, meet Karasuma Ren!

This made Gao Yuan not expect that such an important information was hidden in an event that should have no secrets for him because he knew the original work!

At this moment, Gao Yuan became more and more deeply aware of the feeling that the living fossil of history was getting closer and closer to him.

However, Gao Yuan could not reveal such a frightening intuition here, nor could he say anything more. Only Xiao Ai beside him seemed to be aware of this situation, while the others were more focused on another historical figure, La Spuchin——

After all, relatively speaking, a rich man like Karasuma Renye is not a famous figure in history like Rasputin. Perhaps no one else here even knows about it except himself and Xiao Ai. The name is "Karasuma Renya".

With Gao Yuan thinking this way, he tried his best to blend into everyone's attention without moving his expression, not wanting his special reaction to attract any attention.

Just like that, as Gan Jiang pointed out the photo of Rasputin, Mr. Siruov, an official of the Russian Embassy, ​​couldn't help but look over first and noticed that there was Rasputin in the photo. ’s signature, he couldn’t help but be surprised:

"That's right! It still has his signature on it!"

In this regard, this situation even surprised some people present who knew Rasputin.

Xiaolan obviously didn't know the situation very well, so she asked Mouri Kogoro:

"Dad, who is Rasputin?"

"This...this..."

Hearing Xiaolan ask him about this kind of thing, Mouri Kogoro was slightly embarrassed but had to answer and thought about it and said:

"I only know that he was a big sinner in Russia back then..."

In this way, as soon as Mouri Kogoro said this, Ganshou Yi couldn't help but go on to say in detail:

"He is also known as the 'Monk' Rasputin. He was the sinner who led to the demise of the Romanov dynasty. He once took control of the political power. It is also said that he has immortality. He has even experienced many assassinations and various attacks. A legendary figure who never died despite being injured.

"But later he was assassinated by a conspiracy by several relatives of the royal family. Finally, his body was found with a sunken skull and one of his eyes gouged out."

Hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but be a little surprised and asked:

"Having immortality? Is there such a rumor?"

"It seems that there is such a thing... Legend has it that when he controlled the dynasty, many nobles participated in the assassination, but no matter how they killed him, they could not kill him..."

Mouri Kogoro said thinking hard.

In response to this, Xiaolan looked at Rasputin in the photo in surprise. She felt a sense of fear for this sloppy-looking man and asked doubtfully:

"Huh? Is this all true?"

"It's just a rumor."

At this point, regarding this topic, Gao Yuan interjected:

“The background of the era when Rasputin entered the historical stage coincided with the Russo-Japanese War. With the series of defeats in the Tsarist Russian naval campaign, the Tsarist at that time was dealt a heavy blow.

"The Tsar was eager to alleviate the domestic crisis. In the last years of the dynasty, the aristocratic class, which controlled a large amount of wealth, land and the bureaucracy, became corrupt and inexhaustible, which became the biggest obstacle to the Tsar's reforms. Therefore, at this time, Rasputin, who was born as a commoner, used religion to Identity naturally became a force that the tsar could draw on.

"In this political game context, the tsar created various rumors in order to establish this person's personal prestige, and at the same time, the nobles also tried to win over such people to tolerate some of his actions, which naturally became very outrageous in the end.

"It was only in the end, when Rasputin was always participating in the power struggle as the spokesperson of the Tsar, that the nobles were really willing to work together to get rid of him. As for the rumors of assassination, it is very likely that the old nobles just wanted to cut him off. The relationship with him is just some things that are deliberately exaggerated.”

In this way, Gao Yuan put aside those so-called rumors, made some reasonable speculations based on history, and spoke them out. Xiaolan, who was originally a little scared, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gao Yuan:

"So that's it. After listening to what you said, Mr. Mingzhi, I suddenly feel much more understandable!"

"It's just some speculation based on history, and there is no basis for it. Compared with those rumors, it is very boring."

Gao Yuan waved his hand and replied.

However, Gao Yuan's statement naturally attracted the attention of others. They did not expect Gao Yuan to have such views on history.

Among them, Xiao Ai's expression when she looked at Gao Yuan seemed very meaningful.

But Gao Yuan naturally didn't notice. After saying this, Gao Yuan looked thoughtful and suddenly analyzed:

"Speaking of which, the queen at that time was born in a German aristocracy and was not welcomed by the Russian upper class at that time, so she also needed to cooperate with a force that had the right to speak in Russia to increase her political influence...

“Thinking of the German style of the castle and the photo of Rasputin…

"Miss Natsumi Kasaka, I'm afraid the identities of your great-grandfather and great-grandmother are by no means simple!"
