Chapter 1324 1332 [Valuable Items] Ask for a monthly ticket (〃〃)
Soon, the wooden box opened, revealing a relatively large craft egg.
——The “Egg of Memories” was placed on a piece of purple velvet. The eggshell was a lustrous light green with intricate silver engravings on it.
Pu Siqinglan looked at the egg, with a greedy gleam in her eyes.
A few high school students came over to study it, and Hattori Heiji couldn't help but comment: "Hmm... quite simple."
Yuanshan Heye also nodded and said in surprise: "It looks like an ostrich egg. Could it be that it is modified from an ostrich egg?"
"..." Pu Siqinglan was obviously not satisfied with their comments, and she looked even more murderous. After all, in her eyes, this egg would only be hers in the future, and the two high school students were just scolding her.
Jiang Xia also took a closer look at this artifact that could only catch thieves, and helped to justify this good egg: "There are no air holes, so it should be a craft egg made of metal. But there is a keyhole underneath, and it looks like it can be opened."
"Haha, that's right." Shiro Suzuki stretched out his hand and took the "Egg of Memories" out of the box casually without wearing protective gloves, as if he was demonstrating to them how to play with a toy.
There is a horizontal incision in the middle of the Egg of Memory, and the upper half of the egg can be opened like a lid.
After opening it, a dazzling golden color was revealed inside - no wonder the egg seemed heavy when Shiro Suzuki fiddled with it, there was actually a whole piece of gold inside it.
The gold nuggets were melted into exquisite mini sculptures. An adult man and woman sat on the sofa, looking like a couple. Five children stood or sat beside them. The family of seven sat together happily, all looking at something like a book in the man's hand.
...In short, it looks both artistic and valuable.
Jiang Xia held his chin, as if looking at the egg of memories, but his peripheral vision had already drifted to Pu Si Qinglan.
Then he was pleased to find that the thief had given him face and became a little more murderous. To Pu Siqinglan, the more valuable the treasure was, the more necessary it was to get it at all costs.
Jiang Xia: “…” Last night’s decision was really wise.
The pleasure of watching the murderous aura grow little by little and then harvesting it all in an instant cannot be compared with the simple activity of knocking out the murderous aura.
…
Suzuki Sonoko was not very interested in the Egg of Memories, as she had gotten tired of playing with it when she was a child. At this moment, she was a little distracted, and suddenly she saw Jiang Xiayin's happy expression.
Following his gaze, Suzuki Sonoko saw Pu Siqinglan's face without a doubt in her vision.
Suzuki Sonoko: “…”
...It’s bad enough that Jiang Xia is always deceived by bad guys, but why can’t he escape even from bad women!
...But wait, there seems to be no evidence to prove that Miss Pu Siqinglan is a bad person. Am I just overthinking?
…
Shiro Suzuki noticed that his daughter was distracted, so he cleared his throat and reminded her that there were guests.
Then he pointed to the golden statue in the egg and introduced it to everyone: "This is a statue of the Nicholas royal family. It is made entirely of gold, so it is very heavy. If you want to play with it later, be careful not to drop it."
In fact, the color of the golden statue is a bit monotonous, a yellow mass, which is dazzling if you look at it too much, and you can't appreciate it for too long.
“……”But that’s gold.
The pragmatic people in Osaka's eyes lit up. Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha gave completely opposite comments: "So beautiful!"
Hearing their movements, Jiang Xia, who was distracted, came to his senses and looked at the egg again.
Pu Siqinglan's eyes never left the Egg of Memories.
Suzuki Sonoko then turned her attention back to the "Egg of Memory". She reached under the box and took out a small, delicate key, saying with a smile, "It actually has an interesting little mechanism."
There is a keyhole at the base of the egg.
Suzuki Sonoko inserted the key and turned it a few times. The dense sound of mechanical gears rang out. Soon, the golden statue actually rose up. It left the lower half of the eggshell and was bathed in the sun, becoming more dazzling.
Before the high school students could figure out how to praise this charming light.
At this moment, the left hand of the man in the golden statue suddenly moved - he was originally holding the photo album with both hands, but now he suddenly opened the album, and several golden pages unfolded, as if he was really concentrating on reading the album in his hands.
Yuanshan Heye hesitated for a moment, and finally found a suitable feeling: "It's amazing."
Hattori Heiji agreed: "Indeed."
Jiang Xia felt that they had finished expressing their thoughts, so he just nodded.
Mao Lilan originally wanted to nod, but Jiang Xia took the lead.
However, due to this delay, she made another discovery.
She pointed in surprise at the "lid" made of the upper half of the eggshell. On the upper part, there was a circle of sparkling crystals, inlaid in the eggshell like a small window: "There are so many gems."
Shiro Suzuki laughed: "Haha, actually this is not a gem, but some glass. Although it was a gift from the emperor to the queen, perhaps at that time, the Russian Empire was in financial difficulties and could not afford to use gems, so they used this instead. Fortunately, the egg itself is not very big, and the inlaid 'gems' are even smaller, which does not affect the appearance. And if you don't look closely, it's not easy to see the difference."
"I see."
When I learned that they were just some glass, the shiny "gems" suddenly became less attractive.
The detectives did remember other "shiny" things.
"Speaking of which, the third sentence in Kidd's notice, 'I will appear from the shining tower', is referring to the place where he will appear soon." Conan asked in confusion, "I heard that the police are setting up defenses at the castle tower, but why is the castle tower glowing?"
Although he knew quite a bit about Osaka, it was still a little less than what the locals knew.
Yet the locals looked unsure.
"Maybe it's because the castle tower is lit at night?" Toyama Kazuha tapped her chin with her index finger and said uncertainly, "Or maybe Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt that the development of the Osaka Castle tower was like the Osaka light, so it was an abstract 'flash'."
Just as he finished speaking, the door of the VIP room suddenly opened, and several burly, serious-looking middle-aged men walked in.
The dignified voice of Inspector Nakamori also floated in.
The inspector, who had fought with Kidd for many years and had been defeated time and again, said confidently: "That's right! Apart from the castle tower, there is no other place that can fit Kidd's description both physically and spiritually! So the most important thing now is not the third sentence, but the second sentence.
"'When the clock without a second hand reaches the 12th number' - this should be the exact time when Kidd appears. Unfortunately, we have not yet solved this mystery."
