Chapter 117: The Phantom Thief Sniped, Another Egg of Memories

Kaito Kidd, who escaped from the clutches of Suzuki Sonoko, flew all the way to the inconspicuous little building.

On the way to landing, he saw the panicked Nakamori Ginzo and several police officers, and threw a hypnotic gas in to knock down the people inside.

Then, wearing a gas mask, he entered the room and easily took away the Egg of Memory.

At the same time, the art gallery on the other side

The three detectives stood there staring at each other.

Yuya tilted his head, "Aren't you going to stop it? Is it really okay to let Kid take the egg away?"

Although he didn't care about the egg's stay or departure, he didn't expect that Conan and Hattori Heiji would stand here calmly.

The two looked at each other in surprise, and looked at Youya in disbelief: "You didn't notify the police?"

Yuya said as if it was a matter of course: "No, I only told Sonoko."

"what?!"

The two men exclaimed, and Hattori Heiji ran over and drove the motorcycle over.

Conan jumped up with a swift movement, and the two of them chased after Kid, who had transformed into a white bird in the air.

However, due to power outages everywhere, traffic on the road was in chaos, and a large number of cars were stuck there and unable to leave. Fortunately, Hattori Heiji was an excellent driver and he found a way to ride through.

On the other side of the bridge, a man named Xiao Hei was holding a sniper rifle, aiming at Kaito Kidd in the air.

There was a soft "biu" sound.

Kaito Kidd, who was flying freely, suddenly felt a chill on his back. Before he could react, he was hit by a bullet.

The white hang glider lost control like a dead bird and fell all the way toward the Osaka River.

The ejected bullet shell fell down and landed right in front of the motorcycle. Conan took a glance at it and without time to think about it, he urged Hattori Heiji to chase after it.

The two rushed to the beach, but did not find the figure of Kaito Kid. There were only broken pieces of a wooden box and the exposed Egg of Memory on the ground.

There was also a wounded white dove next to it, as well as the single-lens retro-view glasses that Kidd usually wore on his right eye, the lens of which was now broken.

Fortunately, the Egg of Memory was not broken and the pigeon was only scratched. It seemed that Kidd protected them well before falling into the water.

At night, the police conducted a comprehensive search in the waters here, but after searching all night, they still could not find any trace of Kaito Kid, as if he had disappeared from this world.

···

The next day, in order to check whether the Egg of Memory was damaged, the original exhibition plan was temporarily cancelled and the Egg of Memory was transported to Tokyo by the Suzuki family's luxury cruise ship.

And today, the ship welcomed two new guests, a young woman and an old man.

The young woman's name is Kosaka Natsumi. It is said that her ancestors left behind information related to the Egg of Memories. After seeing the exhibition promotion of the Suzuki Foundation, she came here specially.

"My great-grandfather was named Kiichi Kosaka. He worked as a worker in Faberuge's workshop and later married a local Russian woman. In the second year of the revolution, they returned to Japan together. My great-grandmother gave birth to a baby girl, but she passed away soon after. Nine years later, she also passed away when my great-grandfather was 9 years old." Natsumi Kosaka talked about her family background.

Shiro Suzuki asked: "Who is that baby girl..."

Kosaka Natsumi said: "It's my grandmother. My parents and grandfather died in a car accident when I was 5 years old. I was raised by my grandmother."

The old housekeeper added: "The old lady also unfortunately passed away last month."

Natsumi Kosaka continued, "I was a pastry chef in France. When I returned to Japan to sort out my grandmother's belongings, I accidentally found a design left by my great-grandfather."

Then he took out two pieces of very worn paper from his bag: "Although they are torn in the middle, you can still tell what is drawn on them."

Shiro Suzuki looked at the blueprint and was a little surprised: "It is indeed the Egg of Memory, but the Egg of Memory in the picture is inlaid with gems?"

Yuya leaned over to take a look and said, "The memory eggs on these two drawings are different sizes and can't be put together completely. Could it be that there were originally two eggs? These two drawings were originally supposed to be a larger one, but the middle part was lost, so this is the case?"

After listening to this, Suzuki Shiro took the blueprint and pieced it together. He found that it was just as Yuya said. The pattern on the blueprint did not match. He suddenly realized: "I see, Yuya-kun is indeed worthy of his name. He figured it out right away."

Yuya smiled faintly.

Conan walked forward, picked up the Egg of Memories and began to look at it, feeling very confused.

Why is this egg called the Egg of Memories? Is it true that, as Yuya said, the book on the statue inside is actually a photo album? But it doesn't make sense.

Turning over the Egg of Memories, Conan suddenly discovered a small hole at the bottom of the egg with a small mirror embedded inside.

Conan poked it with his finger without thinking, and the mirror fell down.

Conan was shocked. This is a work of art worth NT$800 million. Could he have ruined it?

He hurriedly put down the egg of memories and picked up the mirror.

Yuya let out an "oh" and joked, "Conan, you're done. You broke something and have to pay 800 million yen!"

Conan's face turned pale. What a joke! If he asked his dad for the 800 million yen, he would definitely get it, but he would probably be beaten to death by then!

Suzuki Sonoko saw Conan's frightened look and laughed in her heart. She wanted to scare him along, but when she saw Mao Lilan's worried look, she quickly explained: "It's okay, it's easy to take down the mirror. It was probably installed later."

It turns out it wasn't broken.

Conan heaved a sigh of relief and glared at Yuya fiercely. He was almost scared to death by him.

Yuya covered his mouth with his fist, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

Conan observed the small mirror in his hand, and when he turned it, he accidentally discovered that something seemed to be reflected under the light.

He quickly shouted to Secretary Nishino: "Mr. Nishino, please turn off the lights."

Secretary Nishino was stunned for a moment, then seeing how anxious he was, he subconsciously pressed the switch.

After turning off the lights, Conan took out his watch-shaped flashlight and shone it into the small mirror, then adjusted the angle so that the light would shine onto the wall.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, and they saw a picture reflected on the wall, which was a rather majestic castle.

"Why are there pictures?" the diplomat was extremely surprised.

"It's a magic mirror." The art dealer exclaimed, "The mirror has been specially processed so that you can carve a picture on it, and then use light to reflect the picture onto the wall."

"That's it." Everyone was stunned.

Kosaka Natsumi looked at the picture and felt that the castle looked very familiar. She looked at the old butler and said, "Could this castle be..."

The old butler nodded: "Yes, it is the castle in Yokosuka."

"The castle in Yokosuka?" Mao Lilan was stunned. "Is it the castle that often appears in advertisements?"

Kosaka Natsumi replied, "Yes, that is the castle that my great-grandfather built."

Mao Lilan was even more surprised: "I didn't expect that such a castle would belong to Miss Kosaka!"

Kosaka Natsumi smiled with some pride.

Maori Kogoro asked tentatively: "Ms. Kosaka, this egg was not made by your great-grandfather, was it?"

Kosaka Natsumi was stunned.

Yuya stroked his chin and continued, "I see. According to the blueprint, there were two eggs of memories. After returning to Japan, he sold the gems on them and built this castle. The other egg is likely hidden in this castle."

Everyone suddenly realized that they had never expected that this Egg of Memory had such a past.

Maori Kogoro suddenly had an idea and continued, "So, he left the image of the castle on the magic mirror after special processing, leaving clues for future generations to find the egg?"

As if she had thought of something, Natsumi Kosaka took out an old key from her bag again: "There is another key like this among my grandmother's belongings, but I have never found a door that fits it."

Maori Kogoro pounded his fist on his palm: "That's right, this is the key to open the treasure house of the egg of memories!"

"This Egg of Memory comes in a pair? If we can find the other one, its value will increase exponentially and will definitely exceed 15 billion yen!" Art dealer Qian Jiang's eyes sparkled and he was almost scared by his own guess.

Shiro Suzuki was also very surprised. Although the Suzuki Group was large and powerful, 15 billion yen was not a small amount. Moreover, the Suzuki Group would be very proud to own such a priceless treasure.

Natsumi Kosaka warmly invited Kogoro Maori: "Mr. Maori, can you please go to the castle with me and find the other egg of memories?"

Maori Kogoro patted his chest and said, "Of course no problem!"

Mao Lilan lowered her eyes and looked at her father with contempt.

When they heard there was another egg, the outsiders asked to be allowed to take it along as well.

After hearing that Kosaka Natsumi agreed, they all showed unconcealable joy on their faces.

Obviously, they followed for more than just a look.
