Chapter 1358-1366 [Magic Mirror]
Suzuki Sonoko pretended to think about it for a moment.
Then he spread his hands and said, "I don't know. The social network that has nothing to do with the consortium is a personal privacy. How can I ask about it casually?"
"..." Conan's eyes jumped: What on earth was he expecting just now? It would be better to continue asking Jiang Xia. At least Jiang Xia has strong observation skills. As a detective, he should have a rich imagination. Maybe he can really find something...
"Hahahahahaha." Suzuki Sonoko looked at his expression and clapped her thigh and laughed: It's really fun to trick children. No wonder Jiang Xia goes to tease them every now and then.
Jiang Xia sat next to them and always felt like someone was talking about him.
He turned his head expectantly and looked at Pu Siqinglan.
Then he found, to his great regret, that the other party's murderous aura had not changed any further. The one who was talking about him did not seem to be this fragrant foreign woman.
He sighed and looked away under Pu Siqinglan's vigilant gaze.
…
Secretary Nishino quickly took out the "Egg of Memory" and placed it on the table in front of everyone.
Ryuya Kankawa, who was out taking photos, followed with his camera in hand. His eyes were fixed on the egg worth 800 million.
When the real thing arrived and was compared with the drawings provided by Natsumi Kosaka on the table, the difference immediately became very obvious.
——The real “Egg of Memories” looks quite plain, with no gemstones inlaid on the shell. The only circle of crystal clear stuff is said to be inlaid with glass.
However, the "Egg of Memories" in the drawing has many finely crafted gems on its shell. Even if it is just a black and white drawing, one can imagine how stunning it will look when it is complete.
"If the real Egg of Memory is a treasure like the one on the blueprint..."
Pu Siqinglan deeply loved all the treasures of the Romanov dynasty. In her eyes, these should all belong to her family. The complete "Egg of Memory" made her heart beat faster.
But soon, her eyes fell on the "Egg of Memories" on the table, and she began to wonder - the Suzuki family would not exhibit a fake, so what was the matter with this bare art egg?
Jiang Xia immediately noticed her change.
His eyes then fell on the blueprint, and he said seriously like a detective, "This egg of memory may be a set."
Several people were startled: "A complete set?"
Pu Siqinglan also turned her gaze and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?"
Conan pointed at the blueprints and said, "The two blueprints were torn at an angle. On each blueprint, a part of the 'Egg of Memory' was drawn. But when the blueprints were put together, the sizes of the two 'Eggs of Memory' didn't match up. They didn't seem to be the same size."
Jiang Xia reached out and pressed down the two pieces of paper placed together, pushing them apart horizontally a little to leave a gap in the middle.
With this change, the drawing, which was originally roughly square when put together, instantly became a rectangle.
"It wasn't a piece of paper torn in half, it was a piece of paper torn diagonally into at least three pieces, with the middle missing - these were two Easter eggs drawn on the same rectangular drawing."
To make such an exquisite Easter egg, it takes a huge amount of effort and money. No designer would be so frugal as to squeeze two completely different Easter eggs onto the same drawing.
In other words, these two Easter eggs may both be "Eggs of Memory" - and this is actually a set.
A group of people who came to catch the "Egg of Memories" had their eyes lit up when they heard the news, like wolves with green eyes due to hunger.
…
Conan had already guessed what Jiang Xia said. He looked absentmindedly at the "Egg of Memories" on the table, picked it up and looked at it inquiringly.
Conan: "..." When Jiang Xia came back with the "Egg of Memories" last night, he looked up from the bottom and vaguely felt that there seemed to be a reflection at the bottom of the egg.
But at that time, my attention was focused on questions like "How did Jiang Xia get the egg", "How did Kidd fail while flying a hang glider", "Can the police catch Kidd", and so on, and I didn't pay attention to this Easter egg.
Now, it turns out that there seems to be a new mystery hidden in the "Egg of Memories". Conan remembered his doubts last night, raised the egg high, looked up from the bottom, and saw a transparent hole at the bottom of the egg.
The light in this room was not too bright. In line with the human nature of "wanting to poke a hole if there is one", Conan's finger had already poked in when he was distracted for a moment.
The next moment, with a slight "click" sound, a round lens suddenly fell out from the bottom of the "Egg of Memory" and fell to the ground.
Conan was stunned when he heard the crisp sound:...He, he seemed to have accidentally removed something from the Egg of Memory?
Before he could come to his senses, Jiang Xia's ghostly voice floated over from the side: "Eight hundred million."
Conan: “!!!”
"Haha." Suzuki Shiro looked at the frozen child and waved his hand amiably, "It's okay. This small lens might have been an accessory that was installed later. It's easy to fall off. When Sonoko was little, she often took it out to play with it and almost put it in her mouth to eat it..."
"Dad!" Suzuki Sonoko blushed and stood up, interrupting the revelation of her dark history. "Let's talk about the 'Egg of Memories', don't change the subject!"
Jiang Xia responded promptly and respectfully.
He bent down to pick up the small lens, examined it perfunctorily, and put it back next to the "Egg of Memory". "There are some inconspicuous shadows on it, but it doesn't look like it's been scratched. Perhaps this is a "magic mirror" with information that someone has deliberately hidden."
...Magic mirror?
Pu Siqinglan was startled, and then a trace of joy surged in her heart: the magic mirror is a kind of mirror that has been finely processed. It appeared earlier than many people imagined. Use it to reflect light and project it on the wall to illuminate the pre-engraved pattern.
Some things that happened hundreds of years ago have cast a layer of mystery over the magic mirror. During the Tokugawa shogunate period, the shogunate once banned Catholicism, banned religion throughout the country, expelled missionaries, closed churches, and prohibited people from holding various Catholic activities. Private gatherings were of course also strictly prohibited, and hundreds of thousands of believers were brutally executed.
But there are always some stubborn believers who want to hold ceremonies facing the cross.
In this environment, it was impossible to hide the cross, so some craftsmen made a "magic mirror" engraved with a cross, which they used to project the cross onto the wall for prayer.
Although Pu Siqinglan is a fake scholar, as a thief who possesses countless treasures, she is also knowledgeable in this area.
