Chapter 1384 1392 [This detective must be afraid of fire] Please give me a monthly ticket ヽ(〃〃)~
Conan: "..." But if you think rationally, when it comes to dealing with Scoobing, Kidd, the non-killing thief, is actually a rare ally.
On the contrary, if Kidd's identity is revealed at this time, there will be chaos all around, and they may not only fail to catch Kidd in the end, but also give the dangerous man Scoobing a chance to take action while the chaos is going on.
In short, before controlling "Scoop", it is better to pretend that you don't know Kidd's identity.
In addition, Conan thought seriously: "Inspector Shiratori" cannot be ruled out, it is really just Inspector Shiratori himself.
After all, in Conan's impression, although Inspector Shiratori looks serious, he actually seems to be a very gossipy policeman. He always runs around on vacation and has all kinds of messy and elegant hobbies. In general, he is a second-generation official who loves to play and has money.
It is not hard to imagine that such a person would borrow the 800 million eggs as ordinary props just because he is interested in the treasure hunt game... Hiss, thinking about it this way, he wanted to frown even more to verify whether his guess was correct.
However, Jiang Xia next to him seemed more inclined to consider the overall situation and work together to deal with Scott, and did not reach out to Kidd's face.
He took the small "Egg of Memories" from Kidd's hand and put it into the large eggshell in his hand. The bracket at the bottom of the small egg fit perfectly into the groove inside the large egg.
"It seems that there are not two 'Eggs of Memory', but one whole egg that has been split into two." Suzuki Sonoko looked at this new toy curiously, "But I remember that the sculpture in the small Easter egg can turn the pages, and it needs a key to open it. If it is locked in, will the mechanism be useless?"
After only a few sentences of reasoning, her attention could not help but be drawn to other things.
Suzuki Sonoko stared at the "Egg of Memories" in Jiang Xia's hand, and sighed: "Sure enough, the one outside is still beautiful. The rose-shaped gem is really nice... huh?" She suddenly discovered something, took a closer look, and reached out to knock on the gem on the shell. Her tone became puzzled, "Why does it seem to be made of glass?"
"Glass?" Kosaka Natsumi also took a closer look and said in surprise, "It does look like glass. Could it be that the budget was insufficient at the time, so all the gems were replaced with glass?"
Jiang Xia handed them the "Egg of Memory": "Perhaps there is a reason why glass must be used. Whether it is the 'magic mirror' that indicated the location of the castle, or the double-headed eagle brightness meter, both of them pay great attention to the application of light."
Conan suddenly thought of something. He raised his hand and pointed at the base of the eggshell: "Look, there is a hole here. When I passed by the center of the hall just now, I saw that there was a groove on the stone platform there. Perhaps we need to shine enough light from under the egg to activate the corresponding mechanism!"
"I see." Inspector Shiratori exclaimed sincerely, "Your unique perspective can sometimes really help you uncover a lot of intelligence."
Conan: "..." Although it sounded like he was being praised, why did he feel like "Inspector Shiratori" was mocking his height?
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Xia nodded in agreement: "Children also have their own charm."
"..." Conan's eyes twitched, and he waved away the two people's hands that were reaching out to touch his head at the same time, and brought the topic back to the main topic, "Hurry up and put the Easter egg on it and give it a try!"
…
Several people took the assembled "Egg of Memory" and turned to the center of the underground hall.
There is a low stone platform here, about the same height as Conan. It is disc-shaped with a concave hole in the middle, just big enough to hold a flashlight.
Jiang Xia handed the "Egg of Memories" to Suzuki Sonoko, who was eager to try it. He stepped back a few steps, took out his phone, and planned to take a picture as a souvenir.
"Inspector Shiratori" retracted the flashlight and looked at the people who were closer to the candle: "Put out the candle first."
Pu Siqinglan bent down and blew out the candle on the left.
The ambassador happened to be standing next to the candle on the right. He reached out and twisted the wick, and the flame went out with a hiss.
Seeing this unique way of putting out fire, Jiang Xia couldn't help but take a closer look at his hand: "...Is it hot?"
The ambassador smiled and said, "How can a candle burn you? It's just a tiny flame."
"..." Jiang Xia nodded thoughtfully: He would also put out the fire in this way next time. It looked much more elegant than bending over and blowing air... Of course, he had to remember to pad his fingertips with some puppet clay. He suspected that the structure of his hands was different from that of the ambassador's.
A few meters away, Pu Si Qinglan heard the conversation here, and her heartbeat silently quickened a little: This immortal man's weakness is really fire?
…
After extinguishing the candles, the group of people gathered around the stone platform again, each with their own thoughts.
"Inspector Shiratori" adjusted the flashlight and put it into the groove at the bottom.
A beam of light shot straight up to the roof from the stone platform, and the combined Easter egg was placed directly above the light.
The moment it was put up, the light beam was blocked by the egg, and the underground hall fell into darkness for a short time.
The next moment, a few strands of light suddenly lit up, flashed along the golden vines on the eggshell, gathered at the top, and the whole egg gradually emitted a stable light.
Under the gaze of everyone, the shell of the "Egg of Memory" became transparent, revealing the golden statue inside. In the statue, the emperor and empress were sitting on the sofa, surrounded by their children, and the family was reading a book together.
The brightness meter inside the eggshell was triggered. This time, there was no need to use a key to turn the lock on the small easter egg. The base of the statue rose up by itself, the pages of the book in the emperor's hand turned, and the passage at the bottom of the egg opened. The light was reflected by countless lenses, and it shone on the open pages of the book in the emperor's hand, and was dispersed into countless tiny rays of light, which shot out from each small hole on the top and fell on the roof.
——The glass on the top of the "Egg of Memories" is actually all "magic mirrors".
Slide-like photos were projected onto the curved roof, showing warm daily scenes, which were precious images left by the emperor's family.
The scene was so shocking that it took a long time for the group to find their words: "It's so beautiful! So this is why the 'Egg of Memory' was named so. If the Emperor and his family were alive and received this gift, it would be the most precious memory for them."
Jiang Xia looked at the countless photos projected on the wall, and paused for a moment on one of them: Hmm? It seems like there's a little bit of personal stuff added in there.
He pointed to the photo and said, "That's your great-grandfather and great-grandmother, right?"
Kosaka Natsumi hasn't come to her senses yet.
Beside her, the white-haired butler nodded for her. He couldn't help showing a nostalgic expression: "Only this photo was taken in Japan. It should have been added by Master Kiichi later."
