Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Conan landed safely on the skateboard mid-air.

However, Hattori Heiji, who fell to the ground, clearly hadn't mastered this "anti-Newton technique."

Conan immediately rushed to Hattori Heiji to check on his injuries.

Seeing Conan's worried expression, Heiji Hattori, enduring the pain, gritted his teeth and said, "What are you still doing! Go after him! If he gets away, I won't let you off the hook!"

Seeing this, Conan's eyes were filled with emotion. He nodded firmly and turned to chase after Kaito Kid.

……

at this time

In mid-air

Kaito Kid carefully examined the box in his hand and sensed something was amiss.

Although he had never touched the real "Egg of Memory," based solely on the photos and his assessment of the material, he felt that the egg in this box might be a "fake."

Therefore, he slowed down and began to recall carefully.

The little pigeons he sent accurately recorded the conversation between Inspector Nakamori and Chairman Suzuki.

Officer Nakamori stated that he would personally take Egg away and hide him in a place where no one would know.

Afterwards, Officer Nakamori did indeed take the egg away.

Was he trying to cover up his true intentions, putting on a show for himself?

Then he took the opportunity to secretly hide the real product?

No, that's not right!

Based on his understanding of Officer Nakamori, that uncle wasn't nearly as smart as he thought.

If that's the case... the real egg must have been taken away before that.

Wait a minute! Besides Chairman Suzuki's guests, it seems that a few other people also entered the art museum.

It seems to be... Detective Kogoro Mouri and his group?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Kaito Kid's lips.

It's been a long time since anyone has been able to steal something from him right under his nose!

interesting!

He's going to find out where the real egg is right now!

……

Just then, Phantom Thief Kid suddenly sensed a faint killing intent coming from below and immediately looked down at the ground with alertness.

In an instant, a red dot appeared in his right eye.

The next second, a bullet accurately struck his right eye, and he immediately fell slowly from the air.

If he hadn't been wearing a monocle, the bullet would have hit his right eye directly.

Conan, who was speeding along on his skateboard, spotted a suspicious black figure at that moment.

The figure seemed to be looking up at the sky, and the thing in its hand seemed to be pointing at the sky as well.

Upon noticing the troops, Conan and his companion looked up at the sky and saw that Kaito Kid looked like he was about to collapse.

Not long after, the figure of Phantom Thief Kid fell into the sea and disappeared completely.

At that moment, Conan noticed something on the ground ahead.

He stopped immediately.

An injured pigeon appeared before him. After picking it up, he looked at the wooden box next to him.

The wooden box was shattered from the fall, and the eggs inside were broken into many pieces.

Before Conan could even express his regret, he noticed the broken monocle next to the wooden box.

Upon seeing the unusual cracks in the monocular, he immediately looked towards the sea in a panic.

Judging from the situation at the scene, Kaito Kid was probably shot in the right eye by a bullet!

……

The next day

The planned opening and closing exhibition at the art museum was abruptly halted.

Ryuno and the others were invited aboard by Shiro Suzuki and left Osaka.

The group sat around in the hall.

Looking at the Memory Egg without a single crack, Uncle Mori exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't Conan say that this egg was already broken?!"

After saying that, Uncle Mori glared at Conan, who was grinning foolishly.

The guests, including Hanchuanlong, were also very puzzled.

They did indeed hear yesterday that the Egg of Memories had been shattered.

But now it seems that the egg has appeared before everyone completely intact.

Seeing everyone's confusion, Suzuki Shiro explained, "Actually, I entrusted the real egg to this boy named Tatsuno for safekeeping yesterday."

The egg that Phantom Thief Kid stole from Inspector Nakamori and his gang was merely a poorly made imitation.

Upon hearing this, the group began to praise Chairman Suzuki for his foresight.

Amidst the joyful exclamations of the crowd, Suzuki Shiro sighed with a forlorn expression.

Then, he secretly glanced at Longye, looking disappointed.

"Why...why didn't we see Ryūno make a move..."

Sonoko Suzuki, who was standing to the side, was also sullen because she hadn't seen Tatsuno make a move.

After catching a glimpse of their expressions out of the corner of his eye, Longye immediately closed his eyes to avoid making eye contact with them.

……

Due to what happened yesterday, Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori have left the team.

However, there were both decreases and increases.

A strange woman and her butler also boarded the ship after obtaining Chairman Suzuki's permission.

The lady's name was Natsumi Kosaka, and the old butler's name was Kuranosuke Sawabe.

With her explanation, everyone understood her identity.

Her great-grandfather worked as a craftsman in a factory in Mao.

Later, his great-grandfather fell in love with a Mao woman and they came to Japan together.

They had a daughter, who was Natsumi Kosaka's grandmother.

The grandmother passed away last month.

Upon hearing this, Natsumi Kosaka immediately returned to her grandmother's side.

Later, while sorting through his grandmother's belongings, he accidentally discovered a hand-drawn design sketch.

The design on the blueprints is none other than the "Egg of Memories".

Just then, she saw on TV that the Suzuki Museum of Art was about to exhibit the Egg of Memories.

This strange coincidence led her here.

Chapter 118 Steaming or Braising, That Is the Question

Everyone carefully examined the blueprints that Natsumi Kosaka had taken out.

The image depicted above is the "Egg of Memories".

However, unlike the actual object in front of everyone, the Egg of Memory in the drawings appears to be inlaid with many gems.

Suzuki Shiro asked in confusion, "Although it does look like this egg, it doesn't have these gems set in it."

Uncle Mori, leaning on his hand, guessed, "Perhaps there were gemstones originally set in it, but they accidentally fell off later?"

After hearing their conversation, Conan immediately went to the table and carefully examined the blueprints.

After a moment, he looked at Uncle Mori and said bluntly, "Could there have originally been two eggs? If there's only one egg, the outline on this drawing just doesn't seem to fit..."

"So I wonder if the original drawing had two eggs, but someone tore off the middle part."

After hearing Conan's guess, everyone re-examined the blueprints according to his idea and found that Conan's guess seemed to be correct.

While everyone was examining the blueprints, Conan casually picked up the Egg of Memories from the side and carefully looked through it.

While Conan was observing the Egg of Memories, Ai Haibara and Tatsuno were also observing him.

Ryuno glanced at Ai Haibara and noticed that her gaze towards Conan was full of surprise and confusion.

Seeing this, Ryuno glanced at Conan and shook his head helplessly.

Showing off, huh?

It now seems that Ai Haibara is also starting to doubt Conan's true identity.

If this continues, it won't be long.

Aside from Conan himself, the whole world will know his true identity.

—"Snap"

At that moment, a soft sound reached everyone's ears.

Upon seeing that it was Conan making the noise, Uncle Mori immediately leaned down to look at him.

Under everyone's gaze, Conan scratched his head sheepishly: "Hehe~ A small piece of mirror accidentally fell off the egg..."

"what?!"

When Mori saw the small lens in Conan's hand, his eyes bulged out.

The next second, Uncle Mori's face turned ashen.

He kept repeating the same number in his mind: "Eight hundred million... eight hundred million... eight hundred million..."
