Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Pu Siqinglan said helplessly, "You're right, but I don't have 800 million yuan."

Han Chuanlong shrugged and said, "That's true. I can only scrape together 200 million yuan."

At this point, Shiro Suzuki spoke up, saying, "Let's leave the discussion about this egg here for today. We can continue another day."

With a large group of people watching from the sidelines, they are unable to discuss some specific issues.

Since Suzuki Shiro's words were so clearly an invitation to leave, the four of them certainly wouldn't pretend they hadn't understood.

"Alright, that's enough for today. We'll talk again next time."

All four of them stood up.

As the four people walked to the door.

Suzuki Shiro's male secretary, Nishino Masato, walked in carrying a box.

After seeing several people leave.

Masato Nishino bowed to everyone in farewell.

However, Nishino Masato did not notice that Hanchuan Long, upon seeing Nishino Masato, took a step back in surprise before hurriedly leaving.

After seeing off a few people.

Shiro Suzuki spoke first: "Put the box on the table."

"Yes."

After putting down the box, Nishino Masato went to the side, picked up a tray, placed the teacups of the previous guests on the tray, and then walked out.

"Is the box filled with the Egg of Memories?" Xiaolan asked.

Sonoko nodded and said, "That's right, but don't worry about it too much. It's actually quite ordinary-looking. When I was little, I often took it out as a toy."

Every time I hear Sonoko say this, I feel it's incredibly pretentious.

Shiro Suzuki opened the box, revealing the true form of the Egg of Memories.

Just as Sonoko said.

The Egg of Memory is not very large and has a very ordinary appearance.

The overall shape is oval, and the green and white colors make up the appearance of the Egg of Memories.

There are also a few small holes at the top.

It looks so ordinary.

People who don't understand this probably wouldn't be willing to buy it even if it cost them several hundred yuan.

At this moment, Nishino Masato came in again with a tray and placed a cup of tea in front of each person.

"It doesn't look as pretty as I imagined," Hattori Heiji said, puzzled.

“Some items cannot be judged by their appearance alone. I think this is not their whole appearance,” Zhiyong said.

Since they know the inside story.

Zhiyong needs to pretend that his reasoning is very accurate so as to leave a good impression on Suzuki Shiro.

"Can this be opened?" Conan asked, pointing.

"Yes, Conan is really smart."

“Children and adults think differently, and they have unique perspectives on these kinds of things,” Zhiyong replied.

The egg of memory can be split in two.

……

Chapter 286 Time Error

Shiro Suzuki removed the top part, revealing the true appearance inside.

Inside are golden character models.

Two adults, a man and a woman, were sitting on the sofa. The man was holding a book, and the woman was holding a child.

There were four children with the man.

Shiro Suzuki explained with a smile, "This contains a model of Nicholas II's family, all made of gold."

Everyone was quite surprised when they saw what was inside.

"It's amazing, it's so beautiful," Hattori Heiji exclaimed.

“Yes, it’s so beautiful,” Kazuha said.

"This egg also has a very interesting mechanism."

As Suzuki Shiro spoke, he took out a very small key, inserted it into a small hole at the bottom of the Egg of Memories, turned it a few times, and then pulled the key out.

A burst of music.

Then, the model of Nicholas II's family rose up, and the pages of the book in Nicholas II's hand began to turn, as if the family were reading a book.

"That's unbelievable!"

"Yes, that's really rare."

Shiro Suzuki then took out another book and said, "This egg is recorded in the imperial documents. Take a look."

I knocked the book down and placed it on the table.

There's a colorful picture in the book with information about this egg.

"It translates to 'Egg of Memories,'" Shiro Suzuki added.

"Does 'Egg of Memory' mean the word after it's been translated into Eagle Language?" Xiaolan asked疑惑地.

Shiro Suzuki smiled and explained, "No, it's translated into Japanese as 'memory'."

"This name is strange. Why would turning the pages of a book represent memories?" Conan asked curiously.

“Fool, the emperor calling his whole family together to read books represents their fond memories,” Kogoro Mouri replied.

“While that’s true, there’s another possibility,” Zhiyong replied.

"What?" Xiaolan asked in confusion.

“They weren’t looking at books, but at a photo album with pictures of the whole family,” Zhiyong replied.

“That’s right. If it’s a photo album, then the name ‘Egg of Memories’ would be even more fitting,” Sonoko replied.

"Are those sparkly gems?" Xiaolan asked.

“No, it’s just glass,” Shiro Suzuki replied.

"What? It's glass? That's very strange. This was a gift from the Emperor to the Empress," Conan said, puzzled.

Shiro Suzuki replied, "It is said that the White Bear Empire fell into a financial crisis when this fifty-first egg was being made."

“It can’t be for that reason,” Zhiyong shook his head.

"Why?" Sonoko asked, puzzled.

“The empire’s finances are different from the current government’s finances. The emperor has his own private finances for the use of the royal family. Generally, the emperor’s expenses do not go through the national treasury. The expenses for making the Easter eggs should also have gone through the emperor’s private treasury,” Zhi Yong explained.

"Even if the emperor has a private treasury, would he not use the money in his private treasury when the country is in crisis?" Sonoko asked curiously.

“It’s not easy for the royal family to save money, so unless there’s a crisis, they won’t use money from their private treasury to support the country’s spending,” Zhiyong replied.

"Then what do you think is the reason why it's made of glass instead of gemstones?" Sonoko asked again.

“There must be some secrets we don’t know about, but so many years have passed, and we have too few clues to know the real reason yet,” Zhiyong said, shaking his head.

Many clues have yet to emerge.

Wouldn't it be too strange if Zhiyong just said the reason directly?

"Actually, I don't find it too strange that glass is used for this Egg of Memories. It's just that I find the contents of that announcement letter strange. Why is Osaka Castle glowing? The bright sky pavilion." Hattori Heiji asked in confusion.

Kazuha Toyama curled his lip and said, "Fool, Mr. Taiko, who built Osaka Castle, believed that the development of Osaka was like the light of Osaka. Don't you understand that?"

at this time.

Two more people walked in from outside.

After hearing what Kazuha said.

One of them said, "That's right, there's no doubt that Kid will appear at Osaka Castle's keep."

The two people who arrived were the police officers in charge of this operation, Chaki Shintaro and Nakamori Ginzo.

The one who just spoke was Chaki Shintaro.

Nakamori Ginzo shrugged and said, "But so far, we still haven't figured out what the sentence 'the clock has no seconds left until it reaches the 12th' means."

“Isn’t it just the twelfth character of the Japanese syllabary?” Kazuha Toyama replied.

Everyone was quite surprised when they heard this.

Ran, Sonoko, and Kazuha counted on their fingers.

After a while.

Sonoko said happily, "Si, that's four o'clock then."

Nakamori Ginzo shook his head and said, "Kidd's code wouldn't be that simple."

“I understand. It’s not the Japanese syllabary (五十音), it’s the twelfth letter of the Hawk language,” Kogoro Mouri replied.

"Angel script?"

“Yes, the twelfth letter of the Hawk language is L, which means three o’clock. The exact time is three o’clock in the morning on the 23rd,” Kogoro Mouri replied.

Nakamori Ginzo showed his watch to everyone before saying, "You see, it's true."

Chaki Shintaro nodded and said, "Three o'clock in the morning is still before dawn, which perfectly matches the phrase 'the girl of dawn'."

“No, it’s not three in the morning,” Zhiyong replied.

Shiro Suzuki was about to praise Kogoro Mouri, but after hearing what he knew, he didn't say anything.

“It must be 3 a.m. It’s not within the time range that Kid mentioned, so it must be 3 a.m.,” Nakamori Ginzo replied.
