Chapter 114: Resurrection Egg
Shiro Suzuki turned around and introduced the other people.
"This is the first secretary of the Russian Embassy, Siruov Chinikov."
"Please give me your guidance." This is a tall and strong foreigner. His voice is a little hoarse and his expression is a little ferocious. He doesn't look like a diplomat at all. It's better to say that he looks like a soldier or a bodyguard.
The next person was shorter in comparison, and there was a hint of sinister cunning in his cloudy eyes, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Art dealer, Qian Jiangyi.
The third one is a young and beautiful woman, an expert on the Romanov dynasty. She has a beautiful appearance, a tall figure, and a pair of white, straight legs that are particularly eye-catching.
"Nihao!" Pu Siqinglan, wearing a cheongsam, greeted in Chinese.
But the others obviously didn't hear it and didn't pay much attention to it.
You couldn't help but look at her a little more. Is this Shi Kaobing a little crazy? Everyone else is speaking Japanese, but you insist on showing off your poor Chinese. Who are you trying to attract?
While Yuya was daydreaming, Suzuki Shiro also introduced the last person.
Ryu Kankawa is a freelance photographer who specializes in photographing various treasures.
Han Chuanlong greeted everyone in a frivolous tone: "Please give me your guidance!"
However, although the people present were not well-informed, at least they had broad vision, so they did not care much about his attitude. They just remembered his face and ignored him.
Maori Kogoro asked the question that concerned him the most: "So what is the value of this treasure?"
The art dealer was very tactful and took the initiative to say, "800 million yen!"
"Eight hundred million?" Maori Kogoro was shocked. How much money would that cost? How many commissions and rents would he have to take to make that much?
The art dealer smiled slyly: "If you are willing to sell it, I can raise the price a little."
"President Suzuki!" The diplomat stood up immediately. "The Egg of Memory belongs to us Russians. Instead of selling it to such black marketeers, it is better to send it to our country and let our art museum preserve it."
The art dealer was annoyed: "I don't have good taste?!"
Youye sneered, you are even worse than this art dealer, at least he paid for it, and you still want to get it for free?
"Okay, okay, say more. Taking pictures of people is much more interesting than taking pictures of that egg," photographer Hanchuan Long laughed sarcastically, with no intention of giving them any face.
He looked at Pu Siqinglan and smiled frivolously: "You look as if it has nothing to do with you, which is a bit unusual. Logically speaking, you are a researcher of the Romanov dynasty, so you should want to get the egg more than anyone else, right?"
Pu Siqinglan didn't mean to deny it, but her face looked a little unwilling: "That's right, but I don't have 800 million yuan."
Han Chuanlong also covered his forehead and said, "Now that you mention it, hey, I only have about 200 million yuan in total, which is not enough!"
Several friends looked at each other. They were all eyeing the Egg of Memories!
Shiro Suzuki smiled and said, "Anyway, let's discuss the egg issue later." The Suzuki Group was not short of money and had no intention of selling eggs, so they decisively sent the guests away.
"There's nothing I can do. I'll leave today."
The four people came for the eggs, but they couldn't afford to offend the Suzuki Group. Seeing that things were impossible, there was no need to stay any longer. They should think about other ways.
Secretary Nishino walked in holding a wooden box.
When Hanchuan Long saw Secretary Nishino, his face suddenly turned very ugly and he ran away.
The three detectives looked at his back in confusion.
Yuya thought about it... He didn't remember any grudges between the two of them. Forget it, he was not from the Suzuki family, so what did it have to do with him?
"President, I brought the eggs." Secretary Nishino walked up to him holding a wooden box and said.
"Ah, thank you for your hard work." Suzuki Shiro nodded slightly and motioned him to put the wooden box on the table, "Everyone, please take a seat."
Mao Lilan was a little surprised: "Can we also take a look at the egg?" I wonder what the legendary secret treasure of the Romanov dynasty would look like?
Suzuki Sonoko looked nonchalant and said with a disdainful tone: "It's nothing special. It looks ordinary. I used it as a toy when I was a kid."
Toys? Several people were stunned. Only the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group could say such arrogant words.
Secretary Nishino opened the wooden box, and the Egg of Memories, also known as the Easter Egg, appeared in front of everyone.
The egg is green all over, with an exquisitely carved egg shape, gorgeous and delicate lines, a variety of unnamed patterns, and transparent materials inlaid on it, which is a wonderful combination of craftsmanship.
Even an outsider can tell from the appearance that this egg is worth a lot of money.
Mao Lilan exclaimed: "Is this the Easter egg? It looks so beautiful."
"Not as beautiful as I imagined." Hattori Heiji curled his lips.
"It feels like an ostrich egg," agreed Yuanshan Heye.
Ostrich eggs...Everyone was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt that it was quite vivid.
Conan stared at the egg and suddenly said, "Can this be opened?"
Shiro Suzuki looked at Conan with admiration: "Yes, you can beat it. You know a lot." As he said that, he reached out and lifted the upper part of the egg.
A golden statue appeared before everyone.
"This is a model of Emperor Nicholas and his family. It's all made of gold!" Shiro Suzuki introduced.
The statue is of a couple sitting on a chair and reading a book. The husband is surrounded by four little girls. They look like a warm family.
"This is really incredible!" Hattori Heiji changed his disappointed look and his eyes were shining with surprise.
Shiro Suzuki took out a small key and said, "This egg has a very interesting mechanism!" Then he inserted the key into a small hole and gently twisted it a few times.
The golden statue suddenly rose up, and at the same time, the book in the husband's hand turned the pages automatically.
"Wow!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
"This egg was also recorded in the documents of the Romanov dynasty," Suzuki Shiro picked up a book nearby and introduced it, "Its more widely known translation is called the Egg of Memory."
The document provides a detailed introduction to the origin of eggs and includes relevant pictures.
Conan raised his own question: "Why is reading a book called recollection?"
Maori Kogoro immediately explained with disdain: "Fool, the emperor called the children to read books together, and this is their beautiful memory."
Conan's mouth twitched slightly? Is that so? Why does this explanation seem a bit far-fetched?
"Why do you think this is a book?" Youye suddenly asked.
Everyone couldn't help but look at him.
Miyano Shiho also looked at the wise man beside her with curiosity.
Youye smiled and said, "Since it's a memory, is it possible that this is... a photo album? Books and photo albums are very similar in appearance, and they are made of gold, so it's normal that you can't tell the difference, right?"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized: "It seems to make sense!" At least it makes more sense than Kogoro Mori's explanation.
Maori Kogoro's face twisted. This kid, is he trying to ruin my show? He's not cute at all!
