Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 429: The bewildered Urako Seiran, and Sonoko Suzuki's famous moment of showing off.
“Mr. Guiye, I’m a big fan of yours. I’ve seen every single one of your movies.”

Pu Siqinglan was very enthusiastic, and her delicate body pressed against her, a stark contrast to her polite and distant attitude when facing Mouri Kogoro just now.

Maori Kogoro:……

That's not right, Oni Takeshi is clearly not as handsome as him!

However, Ono Takeshi showed no interest in Urashi Seiran. He took a step back to create some distance, merely shaking her hand politely with a cold attitude.

Pu Siqinglan narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing across them before she revealed a fake, worshipful smile.

Unfortunately, her change in expression did not escape Ono Takeshi's notice, and he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Considering the past grievances between this woman and Kaito Kuroba, Takeshi Onino did not immediately deal with her, intending to leave her for Kaito Kuroba to avenge himself.

But if the woman doesn't know her place, then he can't be blamed.

Kogoro Mouri, oblivious to the strange atmosphere between the two, suppressed his hurt feelings and continued to try to justify his earlier actions:
"Miss Qinglan is an expert on the Romanov dynasty and is fluent in Japanese, Chinese, and Russian. She can be described as having both talent and beauty!"

Guiye Wu raised an eyebrow and switched to Chinese: "Is Miss Qinglan Chinese?"

A look of surprise flashed in Pu Siqinglan's eyes. She hadn't expected that Guiyewu would also speak Chinese, and with such fluent pronunciation that it was far better than her own half-baked attempt at pretending.

However, now that he was in a difficult situation, he could only quickly switch to Chinese and reply: "Yes, that's right, my surname is Pu Si."

Oni Takeshi nodded, but inwardly he sneered.

With that awkward tone, he's not even a half-baked professional, yet he dares to pretend to be Chinese?
Don't tarnish the reputation of the Chinese people.

That's about the same level as what foreigners would call "mudhoo".

He could fool Kogoro Mouri and the others who didn't understand Chinese, but they immediately revealed their true colors in front of him.

Where in China is there a compound surname called "Pu Si"?
What nonsense!
That guy, Shi Kaobing, even if he's going to pretend, he should at least do his homework. He's not professional at all.

Ono Takeshi's eyes darted around, and a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his lips. He said, "Since Miss Qinglan is Chinese, then I happen to have a few questions about China that I've always had. I hope Miss Qinglan can answer them."

"No, no problem." Pu Siqinglan's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to agree.

Oni Takeshi's lips curled into a mocking smile as he spoke rapidly:

"Dante was truly Italian, and Dante was truly Chinese. May I ask where he was actually from?"

Pu Siqinglan: ?

"Will I die from being poisoned by a venomous snake?"

Pu Siqinglan: ? ?
"I don't like it when the person I like likes someone I don't like, and I especially dislike it when the person I don't like likes someone I like. So the question is: do I like them or not?"

Pu Siqinglan: ? ? ?

"My eighth uncle went to my ninth uncle's house to find my tenth uncle and said that my fourth uncle had been tricked by my eldest uncle into going to my tenth uncle's house to steal ninety-nine yuan that my ninth uncle had put in my tenth uncle's liquor cabinet. Question: Who stole the money?"

Pu Siqinglan: (◎_◎;)
Looking at Pu Siqinglan, whose eyes were practically glowing like mosquito coils, Guiye Wu raised an eyebrow and smiled disdainfully. With this level of skill, she dared to claim she was Chinese. It was like an old lady trying to hide under the covers—it made me laugh!

Because the two were speaking in Chinese, the others did not understand.

Only Conan noticed the embarrassment and awkwardness on Pu Si Qinglan's face.

A thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.

Oni Takeshi didn't expose Urashi Seiran; he'd rather leave that kind of person to Kuroba Kaito. He was more interested in seeing the "Egg of Memories."

Next, the group headed to the VIP room, led by Masato Nishino.

In the time that followed, Pu Siqinglan kept her distance from Guiyewu and dared not approach him again.

Ono Takeshi was also happy to have some peace and quiet.

Suzuki Shiro arrived shortly after and warmly welcomed everyone. Of course, in his eyes, only Onino Takeshi was truly worthy of attention.

Then, they finally saw the "Egg of Memories".

"So beautiful!"

Shinmei Kaori gazed at the emerald green artwork before her with sparkling eyes, and couldn't help but murmur in admiration.

Oni Takeshi smiled and said, "This should be able to be opened, right?"

Shiro Suzuki smiled slightly: "Of course."

As he spoke, he opened the Egg of Memories, revealing a golden figure model inside.

"This contains models of the family of the last Tsar Nicholas II, all made of gold."

Looking at the lifelike and glittering golden model in front of them, everyone exclaimed in amazement once again.

Seeing that he had successfully piqued everyone's interest, Shiro Suzuki smiled and took out another key: "This egg has a very interesting mechanism."

As he spoke, he inserted the key into the gap at the bottom of the Egg of Memories, turned it a few times, as if winding it up.

The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, a model of the Tsar's family slowly rose up, and then Nicholas II actually began turning the pages of the book in his hand, as if he were really reading a book with his family, which was quite amazing.

Kogoro Mouri stared wide-eyed: "Wow, this is really interesting!"

Ono Takeshi nodded; it was indeed a very exquisite work of art.

However, these people did not know that it was not complete at this moment. Only when another "Egg of Memory" was found and the two were combined could it truly be called a masterpiece!

As she looked at the Egg of Memories before her, a glint of greed flashed across Pu Siqinglan's eyes.

The other guests wore identical expressions. Suzuki Shiro pulled out a book: "In the documents of the Romanov dynasty, there is a record of this egg; it was translated into..."

He handed the documents to everyone.

"...The Egg of Memories!"

Conan asked in surprise, "Why does flipping through a book represent memories?"

"Idiot!" Kogoro Mori scolded, then offered his own clever explanation, "The emperor calling his family over to read together, doesn't that represent their fond memories?"

Conan is showing dead fish eyes, is that right?

Ono Takeshi interjected, "Could it be that the Tsar and the others were actually looking at a family photo album?"

Shinmei Kaori suddenly realized, "Whoa! The photo album represents memories, which is why it's called 'Egg of Memories'! Takeru, you're amazing!"

Oni no Takeshi comfortably gained a wave of admiration from his fiancée.

Others also expressed their agreement, which made sense.

The Egg of Memories, truly lives up to its name!
"Looking at the photo album together as a family, recording all the little moments, is such a beautiful memory..." Ran Mouri smiled gently, then her expression turned somber. "But such a beautiful memory has been shattered."

“Yes,” sighed the First Secretary of the Lucia Embassy, ​​one of the guests. “Unfortunately, not long after, the Tsar’s family was executed.”

The others fell silent for a moment; they didn't want to say much about this historical issue.

Seeing this, Ran quickly changed the subject, pointing curiously to the inside of the Egg of Memories and asking, "Are those sparkling gems?"

Shiro Suzuki smiled and shook his head: "No, those are just glass."

Conan exclaimed in surprise again, "A gift from the Emperor to the Empress? How could it be glass? Don't you find that strange?"

Pu Siqinglan explained, "That's because Tsarist Russia was already in a financial crisis at the time, and I think that's why they didn't use gemstones."

Conan nodded.

Ono Takeshi, however, knew that the real reason was not that Nicholas II was short of money, but that it was intentional, and that it was part of a scheme.

It must be said that Kiichi Kosaka's mechanical skills are indeed superb, truly deserving of the title "magician of the end of the century".

Kogoro Mouri exclaimed, "This Egg of Memories is indeed priceless. No wonder Phantom Thief Kid sent a notice to steal it. But with me, the great detective Kogoro Mouri, here, I will never let that thief succeed!"

As he spoke, he confidently stuck out his tongue and burst into laughter.

Shiro Suzuki said with a smile, "Then I'll leave it all to Detective Mouri!"

Kogoro Mouri grew even more smug, patting his chest and assuring everyone, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Conan was speechless. In the end, he still had to rely on him.

The reason they came here was because they had recently received a notice from Phantom Thief Kid that he was planning to steal the Egg of Memories, so they came to catch the thief.

Since Kazuha Toyama was also participating in the competitive karuta tournament, Heiji Hattori didn't come, so Conan had to rely on himself.

However, just like Kogoro Mouri, he was confident that Kaito Kid would not escape his grasp!
Upon hearing the name Phantom Thief Kid, a sharp, cold glint flashed in Pu Siqinglan's eyes.

Ono Takeshi watched coldly, saying nothing.

He knew that Kid's true purpose was to help Kiichi Kosaka's descendants, so he did not intend to interfere.

As for Pu Siqinglan, let Kidd handle that himself.

Next, Conan and the others, along with the Osaka police who arrived later, and Kaito Kid's "nemesis" Ginzo Nakamori, who is always there for him, began to think about and discuss Kaito Kid's advance notice, trying to decipher his code.

Ran Mouri curiously touched the Egg of Memories, but accidentally knocked off a small mirror at the bottom.

Ran Mouri: !

Mouri Kogoro:! ! !

Compared to Ran Mouri, Kogoro Mouri was more panicked. If this thing really broke, he couldn't afford to pay for it!

Seeing the panicked father and daughter, Sonoko Suzuki casually picked up the Egg of Memory, then picked up the small mirror that had fallen and stuffed it back in, then waved her hand dismissively, saying:

"Don't worry, this is supposed to be movable. When I was a kid, I used to play with the Egg of Memories as a toy and I would often knock it off."

Here it comes, the iconic scene is here!

Ono Takeshi's spirits lifted, and the famous Versailles scene of Sonoko was about to begin!

Kogoro Mouri gaped, looking utterly astonished: "You mean you used to play with this when you were a kid?"

Sonoko Suzuki answered matter-of-factly, "Yes, is there a problem?"

Kogoro Mori swallowed hard and turned to Shiro Suzuki: "Chairman Suzuki, how much did you say this Egg of Memories was worth?"

Shiro Suzuki casually replied, "Around 800 million."

Sonoko Suzuki waved her hand: "Oh, my family has plenty of these things. I used to play with them all the time when I was a kid, and I'm already tired of them."

Maori Kogoro:……

other people:……

Seeing the Suzuki father and daughter who didn't seem to realize they were in Versailles at all, everyone shed tears of envy.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a tycoon...
