Chapter 13571365 [Egg of Memories]
A few high school students were strolling on the deck when they suddenly saw a valuable car being transported onto the yacht.
They were startled and curiously gathered around the railing to watch, just in time to see the young woman and the old man boarding the boat together.
"It's the two people from last night." Jiang Xia swept his eyes over them and looked away with some boredom.
Conan was still curious. He looked at the woman's face carefully. "I feel like she has some Russian genes. Could she be related to the 'Egg of Memories'?"
Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin and looked at the boring egg with some admiration: "I didn't expect it to be so popular. It can attract so many different kinds of people..." Did I lack aesthetic vision when I was a child?
…
Once everyone arrived, the yacht started quickly.
The ship was still near the port, it was neither too early nor too late, and there was no magnificent scenery around. Moreover, most people were more interested in the "Egg of Memories" than in sightseeing.
Shiro Suzuki then invited everyone to the reception room - just in time, the mixed-race lady who called herself "Kosaka Natsumi" said that she had important news to provide in a serious manner, so he planned to listen to the news first.
…
Natsumi Kosaka looks a little introverted, but she speaks very clearly and eloquently: "My great-grandfather was named Kiichi Kosaka. He once went to Tsarist Russia and worked as a worker in Peter Carl Fabergé's workshop."
"Peter Carl Fabergé?" Mao Lilan repeated this somewhat difficult-to-pronounce name in a low voice in her heart, feeling a little confused.
She looked around and found that everyone else looked shocked. They obviously knew who this foreigner was. She suddenly felt that she was behind the times.
“……” While no one was paying attention to her, Mao Lilan quietly took out her cell phone and searched.
The signal on the boat was not very good and her phone was a bit old. The page scrolled several times but no message popped up.
Fortunately, there was a human figure reference book nearby.
"Peter Carl Fabergé was a famous jeweler in Tsarist Russia. He specialized in processing precious materials such as gold, silver, jade and gemstones. His works had the artistic style of the Louis XVI era in France, so they were deeply loved by the royal families of various European countries, including the Tsar. The 'Egg of Memories' and a series of other precious Easter eggs were made by him."
As Jiang Xia spoke, he quietly handed her a brochure that he had found from somewhere before, and whispered, "It says here."
"!" Mao Lilan put down her phone as if nothing had happened, took the flyer stealthily, and whispered gratefully, "No wonder it sounds so familiar, I have seen this flyer before, but I couldn't remember it."
Except for the members of the Suzuki family, almost all the other people present are closely related to the "Egg of Memories" - one is an ambassador from Russia, one is a senior art dealer, and the other is an elegant "beautiful scholar" who knows the weight of this name.
Originally, they didn't take the new "competitor" Natsumi Kosaka seriously. After all, she couldn't even get into the door of the Suzuki Art Museum yesterday, and she didn't seem to have anything to do with the "Egg of Memories".
But now it seems that things are obviously not what they thought. It seems that there is another powerful opponent who covets the "Egg of Memories".
Pu Si Qinglan finally diverted some attention away from Jiang Xia. She looked at Kosaka Natsumi carefully, looking into her beautiful gray eyes, and frowned as if she remembered something.
Kosaka Natsumi was unaware of the undercurrents among the audience and continued to slowly tell what she wanted to say:
"My great-grandfather married a Russian woman, my great-grandmother, there. The year after the revolution, they returned to Japan together. My great-grandmother gave birth to a daughter. But she died soon after, and nine years later my great-grandfather also died, when he was only 45 years old.
"Their child is my grandmother. My parents and grandfather died in a car accident when I was five years old. I was raised by my grandmother alone. But..."
When she said this, she lowered her eyes sadly.
Next to her, her old butler continued for her: "But last month, the old lady unfortunately passed away."
Kosaka Natsumi nodded. "I have been working as a pastry chef in Paris. After hearing the news last month, I returned to Japan to sort out my grandmother's belongings, and then I accidentally found this - this should be the design drawing left by my great-grandfather."
As she spoke, she rummaged through the small bag she was carrying, carefully took out two pieces of paper from it, and placed them on the table in front of her.
They were two very old pieces of paper, torn in half diagonally, with a small half of a jewel-studded "Easter egg" painted on each. When put together, they vaguely formed a craft egg.
But perhaps the tear was not complete and the shape of the Easter egg did not match perfectly.
Shiro Suzuki became interested. This "egg of memories" actually seemed to have a lot of secrets. He looked closely at the blueprint and saw some words on it, including some very large letters.
He read it out: "...'Memories'. Is this really the blueprint for the 'Egg of Memories'? I feel like something is a little different."
This is not a problem. Anyway, the real "Egg of Memories" is in his hand, so he can just compare it.
Amid the guests' excited gazes, Suzuki Shiro looked at Secretary Nishino and said, "Nishino, go get the 'Egg of Memories'."
The secretary responded and quickly stood up.
The photographer immediately stood up and asked, "Can I follow along?" This kind of alternative "unboxing" video is great material for him.
Chairman Suzuki was very easygoing and nodded: "Of course."
Photographer Ryu Kankawa stood up, holding his camera, and carefully followed Secretary Nishino.
This man has long hair, perhaps to retain some "artistic vibe". But combined with his own behavior and temperament, his image is closer to a "ruffian" than an artist.
But such a person who is keen on stirring up trouble seemed very timid when facing Secretary Nishino. He was no longer as arrogant as before, but became like a truly dedicated photographer.
This made Conan a little confused. He stared at the backs of the two for a long time and whispered to Jiang Xia: "Do these two know each other?"
"Shouldn't you ask me this kind of question?" Suzuki Sonoko was feeling a little bored, and when she heard them whispering, she immediately joined in, "Jiang Xia is not familiar with Secretary Nishino, and we don't have much interaction, but I see him often."
"That's right." Conan humbly accepted the suggestion and turned to look at her, "So they know each other?"
