Officer Shiratori pulled a flashlight from his bag, turned it on, and said, "Everyone, follow me. Watch your step."
Everyone walked cautiously in the dim tunnel, and no one spoke until "Officer Shiratori" stopped and shone the flashlight in his hand on the stone wall in front of him.
"There is no road? Did we take the wrong road?" asked Kogoro Mouri.
Officer Shiratori shook his head. "Impossible. There's only one way out."
As he spoke, he stepped forward to take a closer look and realized that it was a mural.
"So many birds... Eh? It seems that only the big bird has two heads." Xiaolan discovered something unusual on the mural.
"This is a two-headed eagle, the symbol of the emperor," Watanabe Toru explained, then said to Officer Shiratori, "Officer, could you shine your flashlight on the crown of the two-headed eagle?"
"Okay." Officer Shiratori nodded, narrowed the aperture, and shone the light on the crown.
In an instant, the crown incredibly emitted a white light, and then the entire underground passage shook violently.
"Everyone be careful." Police Officer Shiratori (bhcj) warned loudly.
The open space in front of the mural slowly unfolded, like a crack in the ground, making it difficult to stand still.
"So that's how it is. This crown is a combination of a photometer..." Officer Shiratori suddenly realized.
After the shaking stopped, downward stairs appeared in front of everyone.
Walking down the stairs, the first thing that catches your eye is a Western-style coffin in front of you. Behind the coffin, there are three statues, like guards guarding the coffin.
In front is a cylindrical platform with candlesticks with residual wax around it.
"Officer White Bird" lit the candle and illuminated the small area.
Maori Kogoro studied the golden lock on the coffin and said with emotion: "This lock is really big, but how can we open it?"
Watanabe Toru reminded: "I remember Miss Kosaka has a key, right? Maybe that key is used to open this coffin."
Upon hearing this, Natsumi Kosaka immediately took out the key from her bag and went forward to unlock the door.
There was just a click and the lock opened.
"It really is this key." The eyes of everyone present lit up.
Maori Kogoro said, "Ms. Kosaka, can you open it?"
Natsumi Kosaka nodded and took two steps back.
Kogoro Mouri grabbed the edge of the coffin, shouted, and lifted it with all his strength, and the coffin lid was slowly opened.
Everyone gathered around impatiently. Inside the coffin was a skeleton, and on the chest of the skeleton was a red egg with an exquisitely carved surface.
"Ms. Kosaka, is this skeleton your great-grandfather?" Kogoro Mouri asked Natsumi Kosaka.
Kosaka Natsumi shook her head. "No, I think it should be my great-grandmother. I've always found it incredible that there's only a cemetery in Yokosuka for my great-grandfather. Now that I think about it, maybe because my great-grandmother was Russian, my great-grandfather couldn't bury her among the tombs of all the ancestors."
At this moment, Siruov-Chitnikov suddenly spoke up: "Ms. Kosaka, maybe this isn't the right time to say this, but could you please let me see that egg?"
"Okay." Natsumi Kosaka nodded, took the egg from the skeleton with her own hands, and handed it to Siluofu-Chinikov.
Siruov-Chitnikov took it carefully and examined it carefully, saying, "There's a small hole at the bottom..."
Then, he opened the egg with a look of astonishment: "Strange, it's empty inside."
"This... How is this possible!" The others also looked incredulous. They couldn't believe that the artifact they had finally found after breaking through two layers of traps was just an empty shell.
249. Scobin is desperate
Watanabe Toru interjected, "I think this is a toy design similar to Russian nesting dolls. You see, the grooves inside are used to hold things in place."
After Watanabe Toru's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
Maori Kogoro looked regretful: "It would have been better if I had brought that egg."
"I happen to have that egg with me," Officer Shiratori suddenly said, pulling the Egg of Memory from his bag. "I knew I might need it, so I borrowed it from President Suzuki."
"Huh?" Maori Kogoro looked at him suspiciously: "You didn't take it secretly, did you?"
Officer Shiratori laughed dryly, "How...how is this possible?"
"Anyway, let's put it in and try it first," said Siluofu-Chinikov.
He took the "Egg of Memories" from "Officer White Bird" and carefully placed it inside the egg. The size was just right, proving that it was a whole.
"It turns out that Mr. Kiichi didn't make two eggs, but divided one egg into two." Siluofu-Chinikov exclaimed.
"Come to think of it, the diamond on this egg is really big." Kogoro Mouri looked at the diamond on the egg with his eyes wide open, as if he was thinking about how much money he could get it for.
Kosaka Natsumi smiled and said, "Mr. Maori, this is not a diamond, it's just ordinary glass."
"Huh? Is that so?"
At this time, Watanabe Toru suddenly stepped forward and said to Siluofu-Chinikov: "Mr. Siluofu, can you lend me the egg?"
"Okay." Siluofu-Chitnikov handed the one in his hand to Watanabe Toru.
Watanabe Toru then said to Officer Shiratori, "Officer Shiratori, please insert the flashlight into the groove on the table."
"it is good."
Although he didn't know what Watanabe Toru was going to do, Officer Shiratori still did as he was told.
Watanabe Toru blew out the candle again. In an instant, the surroundings fell into darkness. Only the light from the flashlight plugged into the table could barely allow people to see their surroundings clearly.
"Hey...Mr. Qian, what are you going to do?" Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but ask.
"Just wait and see, Mr. Mori." Watanabe Toru held the egg and carefully placed it on the stage.
In an instant, several yellow lights appeared from the base and rose along the carvings on the eggshell. Gradually, the egg became transparent. Under the stunned expressions of everyone, the golden statues of the emperor and his family slowly rose. Then, several white lights shot out from the egg, projecting black and white photos on the wall.
"This... this is a photo of Emperor Nicholas and his family." Siluofu-Chitnikov looked shocked and spoke with excitement.
It was only then that Maori Kogoro realized: "It turns out that what they saw in the egg was not a book, but a photo album, so it was named Memories..."
Siruov-Chitnikov sighed softly, "If the Emperor and his family hadn't been assassinated, this would indeed be considered a most precious gift."
Maori Kogoro looked at Kosaka Natsumi and said, "Your great-grandfather is indeed a magician at the end of the century. This design is incredible."
Kosaka Natsumi said gratefully, "If my great-grandfather heard you praising him like this, he would definitely be very happy."
"Ms. Kosaka." Xiaolan suddenly pointed to one of the photos and said to Kosaka Natsumi, "That's your great-grandfather, right? The photo of the two of them sitting on a chair together..."
"Really?" Kosaka Natsumi's beautiful eyes twinkled. "That person next to her is my great-grandmother. I finally...finally met her..."
Two minutes later, the light slowly dissipated. Siluofu-Chitnikov picked up the egg and handed it to Kosaka Natsumi, saying solemnly, "This egg belongs to Mr. Kiichi. No, it should be said that it is the great legacy of Wano Country. The Russian government has decided to give up its ownership. It will be more valuable if you own it."
"Thank you so much." Kosaka Natsumi pursed her lips and said, "It's just that the egg inside belongs to President Suzuki."
"I'll talk to President Suzuki." Maori Kogoro smiled and said, "I think he will understand."
"Eh? Is it okay? But..."
Before she could finish her words, she heard a whooshing sound in the dim environment, and then Natsumi Kosaka fell to the ground, throwing the egg in her hand out.
"Ms. Kosaka." The sudden accident startled everyone. Maori Kogoro quickly helped Natsumi Kosaka up. After seeing her shoulder bleeding, he shouted, "Ms. Kosaka has been shot."
· ········Request flowers·· ·········
In the dim light, a figure picked up the egg that fell on the ground, and then quickly ran out.
"Follow me." Watanabe Toru whispered to Tachibana Maya.
The two quickly left the team and chased after Pu Siqinglan.
……
Castle, entrance to the tunnel.
Pu Siqinglan looked around and saw a gasoline barrel not far away. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Just as she was about to run over...
boom--
The explosion sounded, and the aftermath threw her five meters away, causing her to fall heavily to the ground. She coughed violently a few times, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
..... .... ...
This...how could there be a bomb here?
"Ah... I'm sorry, I planted the bomb here in advance." "Officer Shiratori" walked out from the shadows and threw the bomb remote control in front of Pu Siqinglan. Then he picked up the egg on the ground and said as he looked at it, "You hid it really well, Miss Qinglan. No, maybe I should call you Shi Kaobing."
Seeing that the police officer named "White Bird" had seen through his identity, Pu Siqinglan's face changed slightly. When he was about to struggle,
"Officer Shiratori" took out a prop gun, and with a few swish sounds, several playing cards flew out of the muzzle and pierced Pu Siqinglan's thighs and arms.
Pu Siqinglan groaned.
"Just stay here obediently. When the people below come up, they will take you to where you should go. I don't think you can escape in your current physical condition."
"Police Officer Shiratori" looked at Pu Siqinglan with his deep and cold eyes.
He and Pu Siqinglan actually had a grudge. If it weren't for the quality of his glasses, the shot he took two days ago would have been enough to send him to another world. At this moment, he had the opportunity for revenge, but when he could really do it, he chose to give up and prepared to hand Pu Siqinglan over to Maori Kogoro and others who came up behind.
call out--
A bullet hit Officer Shiratori's feet, splashing fire.
Watanabe Toru and Tachibana Maya came out from the darkness.
250. Successfully recruited soldiers from the Shikao Corps
"I never thought there would be such a sharp police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department." Watanabe Toru pretended not to recognize the identity of "Officer Shiratori" and said lightly: "But even so, don't even think about taking the things..."
Officer Shiratori looked at Watanabe Toru solemnly, "You are not Mr. Inui."
"That's right." Watanabe Toru nodded in agreement. "The real Mr. Qian is still in the hotel, eagerly waiting for someone to find him."
Officer Shiratori gasped, "So this face of yours is a disguise?"
He was caught off guard. Disguise was an extremely difficult skill to learn. As far as he knew, there were only a handful of people in the world who could do it, and yet he had just happened to encounter one. Furthermore, judging by the fact that he hadn't noticed, the "843" Disguise Skill of this Qian Jiang Yi was as good as his, if not better.
Seeing Officer Shiratori's shocked expression, Watanabe Toru said coldly, "You've got too many questions. I'll say it again. Give me what you have, and I'll let you go. Otherwise, tomorrow's newspaper will definitely have a headline about an officer being killed in the line of duty. Or are you planning to escape with this prop gun? Ha... A police officer actually carrying a prop pistol, I doubt you're a magician or a cop."
Hearing Watanabe Toru's ridicule, [Officer Shiratori] felt a little guilty, knowing that he was no match for the man and woman in front of him. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I can give you the things, but you have to agree to one condition."
"What conditions?"
"Don't hurt those people in the tunnels."
"Okay." Watanabe Toru nodded slightly, then extended his hand to Officer Shiratori and said, "Okay, give me the stuff."
Officer Shiratori tossed the egg over, and after Watanabe Toru caught it steadily, he said, "I hope you can keep your promise."
After saying that, he threw a flash bomb.
When the bright light faded, there was no trace of "Officer White Bird" in the castle.
"Should we chase him?" Tachibana Maya asked, "He probably hasn't gotten very far."
"No need." Watanabe Toru shook his head, walked to Pu Siqinglan, squatted down, looked at her embarrassed face, and tore off his disguise mask.
"It's you……"
Seeing Watanabe Toru's true face, Pu Siqinglan widened her eyes and exclaimed.
Maya Tachibana also pulled off her mask.
"Ms. Qinglan." Watanabe Toru's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled playfully: "We meet again."
"Have you been following me?" A chill flashed through Pu Siqinglan's heart.
"That's right." Watanabe Toru nodded: "So I want to ask you again, do you want to join us?"
"If I don't agree, will I be unable to leave this castle?"
Watanabe Toru said indifferently: "Don't ask such stupid questions. You don't have much time left."
Pu Siqinglan smiled bitterly. Now she had no choice. If she did not agree to Watanabe Toru's conditions, she would either die or be arrested.
And she wanted to live.
After hesitating for a while, Pu Siqinglan finally compromised: "I promise you."
Watanabe Toru nodded, and at Pu Siqinglan's low cry, he picked her up by the waist.
"Let's go to Cheng Shi first and give her treatment." Watanabe Toru said to Tachibana Maya.
"it is good."
