Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 120 Hui Jie: Preparing to Quickly Master the History of the Military
While Heiji Hattori and Conan were talking, in the conference room on the cruise ship...

"My name is Natsumi Kosaka, and this is my butler, Kuranosuke Sawabe... These are the blueprints drawn by my grandfather." Natsumi Kosaka introduced herself and the purpose of her visit.

As she explained, she took out a drawing that had been torn in half from her bosom.

“It is indeed the Egg of Memories, but this one has gems on it! Mine only has glass on it.” Suzuki Shiro examined it carefully and immediately noticed the difference.

Kogoro Mouri guessed, "Could it be that the gemstone was switched with something else?" Kogoro Mouri crossed his arms and casually guessed.

"But if it's for money, then digging up the gems would be a bigger loss!" Xiaolan said helplessly, looking at the blueprints in front of her.

Sonoko stroked her chin and boldly speculated, "But considering that Tsarist Russia was facing financial difficulties at the time, and that such things were not easy to sell, they removed the gemstones and replaced them with glass?"

As she spoke, Sonoko pulled Keisuke, who was whispering to Ai, into her arms.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" Huijie was suddenly pulled over, and he was a little confused, looking at Sonoko with a puzzled expression.

"Isn't this what I need your help with?" Sonoko chuckled, nervously offering advice under her "love guru" title: "And you should give girls some space when you're together! If you keep bothering them, they'll get annoyed."

"Huh? You think you understand relationships just because you've watched a few romance dramas?" Huijie looked at Sonoko speechlessly.

"Hmph, does that mean I have more experience in love than you?" Sonoko raised her head arrogantly, looking down at Keisuke, feeling that she had more experience in love than Keisuke.

"Who said that?" Huijie sneered when he heard Sonoko say that she had more dating experience than him.

"Oh?" Ai's voice sounded from behind Keisuke, coldly asking, "Does that mean you have a lot of experience?"

Hui Jie closed his eyes and smiled confidently. He opened his eyes and said firmly, "Ten times better than Sonoko!"

"Cough cough!" Sonoko suddenly started coughing violently.

Keisuke, who was being held in Sonoko's arms, rolled his eyes and said, "Please cough somewhere else, or let go of me first before you cough."

"You little brat!" Sonoko felt that her good intentions in trying to remind Keisuke to watch his words were wasted, so she smiled slyly and said, "So, you said your dating experience is ten times better than mine, is that true?"

“Of course it’s true.” Hui Jie nodded, then looked at Ai, who had a somewhat indifferent expression, and said, “In order to plan a romantic date, I played through hundreds of galgames beforehand. Now I’m a complete romance expert.”

Upon hearing Keisuke's words, Ai couldn't help but recall Keisuke's romantic confession on the Ferris wheel, and her originally indifferent expression softened.

Teruyuki turned to Sonoko with disdain and said, "So unlike some people who only watch others date, I've personally been involved in hundreds of dating incidents!"

Sonoko lifted Keisuke up with both hands and said with displeasure, "You brat, I want to have a discussion with you!"

"Come on then, I'll make sure you suffer a crushing defeat!" Hui Jie smiled coldly, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better think he was about to do something cruel.

"Sonoko..." Ran looked at Sonoko helplessly, so what are you two, whose combined dating history is less than a month, going to debate!

Ai looked at Keisuke arguing with Sonoko and covered her forehead. She then looked at the blueprints that Natsumi Kosaka had taken out, intending to use her brain to calm down.

Ai was stunned the moment she looked at the blueprint, because the problem was obvious: the eggs were all different sizes, clearly a Russian nesting doll made of two eggs!
Noticing Ai's change, Ran looked at the blueprints in front of Ai with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find something?" Hearing Ran's question, Ai nodded. If it were Conan here, it wouldn't matter, but she had to give Ran face, so she told Ran what she had discovered.

Upon hearing Ai's discovery, Sonoko, who was "discussing" with Keisuke, couldn't help but look over.

"The second Memory Egg studded with gems!" Upon hearing this, everyone present was overjoyed.

"But where could it be?" Kogoro Mouri's question instantly interrupted everyone's enthusiasm. He then looked at Ai with expectant eyes, hoping she could find some information.

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Huijie frowned, shielding Ai behind him and blocking their view.

At the same time, he picked up the Egg of Memory, twirled it in his hand to examine it, and instantly attracted everyone's attention. He slowly said, "These are the blueprints I got from Miss Xia Mei's grandfather. If no one has touched them, they are probably still with Miss Xia Mei!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eager gazes to Natsumi Kosaka.

Natsumi Kosaka was taken aback by the looks in everyone's eyes, then warmly told them that she welcomed them to her grandfather's castle.

Seeing the delighted Natsumi Kosaka, Teruyuki narrowed his eyes.

Xiao Ai sighed and whispered to Hui Jie, "I'm sorry, I was a little careless just now and almost exposed myself!"

Huijie touched Ai's neck, kissed it, and said, "It's okay. Ai is becoming more and more like a child her age, which means you're living a good life. That's a good thing, isn't it?"

"Mm." Ai nodded with a smile, then looked at Natsumi Kosaka and said with some guilt, "I've really caused Natsumi-san a lot of trouble!"

Looking at Ai's dejected expression, Hui Jie glanced at the excited Urako Seiran, smiled and said, "It's alright. In return, we'll help Miss Natsumi get rid of that Scorpion who's a threat to her!"

……

After leaving the meeting room.

"Conan?"

Ran was searching everywhere for Conan when she suddenly spotted two familiar figures on the interlocking panels.

"Huh? Hattori? Kazuha? You guys are here too!" Ran exclaimed with a hint of surprise as she looked at Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha in front of her.

Kazuha was admiring the sea view when she heard Ran's words. She turned around and greeted her, "We meet again, Ran!"

He then explained to Ran with some helplessness, "Heiji suddenly came to me earlier saying there was a murderer on the ship and insisted on coming over, and I couldn't stop him!"

Hattori Heiji scratched the back of his head, chuckled, and then said with a serious expression:

"It's the same person who attacked Kid yesterday. Based on my and Conan's deductions, that person is very likely hiding on the ship, waiting for an opportunity to steal the 'Egg of Memories'!"
