Chapter 1332 Chapter 1332 [Valuable Items] Please give me a monthly pass (〃〃)

 Soon, the wooden box opened, revealing a rather large craft egg inside.

—The "Egg of Memories" was placed on a piece of purple velvet. The eggshell was a shiny light green with complex silver engravings on it.

Pu Siqinglan looked at the egg with a greedy light in her eyes.

Several high school students went over to study it, and Hattori Heiji couldn't help but comment: "Hmm...it's quite simple."

Yuanshan Heye also nodded and said in surprise: "It looks like an ostrich egg. Could it be that it was modified from an ostrich egg?"

“…” Pu Si Qinglan was obviously not satisfied with their evaluation, and looked a little more murderous. After all, in her eyes, this egg will only be hers in the future, and rounding it off to two high school students is scolding her.

Jiang Xia also took a closer look at this artifact that could only catch big thieves, and justified this good egg: "There are no air holes, so it should be a craft egg made of metal. But there is a keyhole underneath, which looks like it can be opened."

"Haha, that's right." Suzuki Shiro stretched out his hand and casually took out the "Egg of Memories" from the box as if showing them how to play with a toy, without wearing protective gloves.

 There is a horizontal cut in the middle of the egg of memory, and the upper half of the egg can be opened like a lid.

 After opening it, a piece of dazzling gold was revealed inside - no wonder the egg seemed heavy when Suzuki Shiro played with it. It actually contained a whole piece of gold.

 Gold nuggets are fused into delicate mini sculptures. An adult man and woman are sitting on the sofa, looking like a couple. Next to them, standing or sitting, were five children. A family of seven sat together happily, all looking at something like a book in the man's hand.

 …In short, it looks artistic and valuable.

Jiang Xia held her chin, as if looking at the egg of memories, but her peripheral vision had already drifted to Pu Si Qinglan.

Then I was pleased to find that the big thief had become a little more murderous. For Pu Siqinglan, the higher the value of the treasure, the more necessary it is to get it at all costs.

Jiang Xia: "..." The decision last night was so wise.

This kind of fun of watching murderous aura grow little by little, and then harvesting it all with a bang, is really not comparable to the simple activity of knocking out murderous aura.

 …

Suzuki Sonoko was not very interested in the egg of memories. She had been tired of playing with it since she was a child. At this time, she was a little distracted when she suddenly saw Jiang Xia's faintly happy expression.

Looking along his gaze, Pu Si Qinglan's face appeared in Suzuki Sonoko's field of vision without a doubt.

 Suzuki Sonoko: “…”

 …Jiang Xia is always deceived by bad people, why can’t even bad women escape!

But wait, there seems to be no evidence to prove that Miss Pu Siqinglan is a bad person. Could it be that you just think too much?

 …

Suzuki Shiro noticed that his daughter was distracted and cleared her throat to remind her that there were still guests.

Then he pointed to the golden statue in the egg and introduced it to everyone: "This is a statue of the Nicholas royal family. They are all made of gold, so they are very heavy. If you want to play with them later, be careful not to drop them. ”

 In fact, the color of the gold statue is a bit monotonous, a yellowish mass, and it dazzles the eyes after seeing it too much, so you can’t appreciate it for too long.

 …”But that’s gold.

 The eyes of the pragmatic Osaka people brightened up. Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha gave completely opposite comments to those just now: "So beautiful!"

Hearing their movements, Jiang Xia, who was distracted, came back to his senses and looked at the egg again. Pu Si Qinglan’s eyes never moved away from the Egg of Memories.

Suzuki Sonoko then turned her attention back to the "Egg of Memories". She touched under the box, took out a delicate little key, and said with a smile: "Actually, it also has an interesting little mechanism."

 The base of the egg has a keyhole.

Suzuki Sonoko inserted the key and turned it several times. The sound of dense mechanical gears sounded. Soon, the golden statue actually rose. It left the lower half of the eggshell, bathed in the sun, and suddenly became more dazzling.

 Before the high school students could figure out how to praise this charming light.

At this time, in the golden statue, the man's left hand suddenly moved - he was originally holding the photo album in both hands, but now he suddenly opened the photo album, and several golden pages unfolded, as if he was really concentrating on reading the photo album in his hand. .

 Yuan Shan and Ye hesitated to speak, trying to figure out what to say, and finally found a suitable thought: "It's amazing."

Hattori Heiji was convinced: "Indeed."

Jiang Xia felt that they had finished speaking their thoughts, so she just nodded.

Mao Lilan originally wanted to nod, but Jiang Xia beat him to it.

But after such a delay, she made another discovery.

She pointed to the "lid" made of the upper half of the eggshell in surprise. On the upper part, there was a circle of sparkling crystals, embedded in the eggshell like a small window: "There are actually so many gems."

Suzuki Shiro laughed: "Haha, actually this is not a gem, it's just some glass - although it was a gift from the emperor to the empress, maybe at that time, Tsarist Russia was in financial difficulty and could not support the manufacturer to use gems for production, so I used this instead. Fortunately, the egg itself is not too big, and the inlaid 'gems' are even smaller, which does not affect the appearance. And if you don't look carefully, it's not easy to see the difference."

"So this is ah."

 When I learned that it was just some glass, a shiny "jewel", it suddenly became less attractive.

The detectives thought of other "shiny" things.

"Speaking of which, the third sentence in Kidd's notice letter, 'I will appear from the shining pavilion,' is referring to the place where he will appear soon." Conan wondered, "I heard that the police are at the castle tower. Defenses are deployed, but why does the castle tower glow?"

His knowledge of Osaka, although not too little, is still a little behind that of the locals.

Yet the locals don't look so sure either.

"Maybe it's because the castle tower is lit at night?" Toyama and Ye tapped their chins with their index fingers and said uncertainly, "It may also be because Toyotomi Hideyoshi feels that the development of the Osaka Castle castle tower is like the light of Osaka. , so it’s an abstract ‘glitter’.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the VIP room suddenly opened, and several middle-aged men with burly bodies and serious faces walked in.

The majestic voice of the Zhongsen Police Department also drifted in.

The police department, which has battled wits and courage with Kidd for many years and fought repeatedly, said firmly: "That's right! Except for the castle tower, there is no other place that can fit Kidd's description in both material and spiritual terms! So the most important thing now is Not the third sentence, but the second sentence.

“‘The clock without a second hand reached the 12th word’—this should be the specific time when Kidd appeared. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to solve this mystery.”
