Chapter 179: Kazuha Toyama, who looks somewhat like Ran

Akaso Kaze's mouth curled slightly, and he greeted with a smile: "Heiji Hattori, long time no see. Who is this?"

Behind him came Conan's voice: "She is Brother Hattori's childhood sweetheart girlfriend."

Akaso Kaze turned his head to look, and the Mouri family had also arrived.

As soon as Conan's words left his mouth, they were caught by the sharp-eared Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama.

"Who is girlfriend and boyfriend with him (her)!" the two said in unison.

It turned out to be Kazuha Toyama.

Akaso Kaze couldn't help but take a few extra looks.

With a high ponytail, wearing bright-colored clothes, wearing over-the-knee socks, she had a pair of fair, long legs.

Her appearance was somewhat similar to Ran's.

A pair of bright, large eyes gave a very energetic feeling.

A quite beautiful young girl.

"Are you Mr. Akaso? Nice to meet you, my name is Kazuha Toyama, please treat me well."

The girl bowed.

Afternoon, Suzuki Modern Art Museum.

The top floor of the art museum was Shiro Suzuki's exclusive chairman's office.

Akaso Kaze, Conan, and the Mouri detective group sat on the sofa, listening to Shiro Suzuki introduce the other guests in the office.

These guests had different identities.

First Secretary of the Russian Embassy, Sergei Ovchinnikov.

Art dealer, Kanichi Inui.

Romanov Dynasty researcher, Seiran Hoshi.

This woman was actually Chinese.

But it was obvious that her lineage wasn't very pure; she looked like a mixed-race person.

Her pupils were a rare gray, and she had dark gray short hair.

Her figure was very good, with two long, tight, and powerful legs.

"This is Mr. Ryu Samukawa, a freelance video creator who applied to film here."

"Nice to meet you all."

Ryu Samukawa, the only one who didn't move from the sofa, raised the video camera in his hand cynically, filming around.

Akaso Kaze curled his lips.

People like this look like they would die from taking pictures everywhere.

Mr. Mouri looked at the box on the table and asked curiously: "What is the appraised value of this Memory Egg?"

"Eight hundred million yen."

Art dealer Kanichi Inui looked sideways at Chairman Suzuki.

"If you are willing to sell, I can increase the price a bit more."

Shiro Suzuki smiled without saying a word.

"Chairman!" the Russian Embassy secretary said anxiously.

"The Tsar's Easter Egg is originally a treasure of Russia. Rather than selling it to an unidentified art dealer like this, it would be better to donate it to our Russian Art Museum."

"We will issue you a certificate!"

Not only did Shiro Suzuki not speak, but even Akaso Kaze chuckled.

You want to get a wolf with empty hands.

A piece of waste paper to exchange for an 800 million treasure, simply the official Kaitou Kid.

Art dealer Kanichi Inui's gaze was cold: "You say I have no eye for value?"

"Very good, very good. Filming people is more interesting than filming that egg."

Video creator Ryu Samukawa mocked the two with a light laugh, his gaze turning to the long-legged woman sitting silently beside him.

"Miss Seiran looks like it has nothing to do with her, but logically speaking, as a Romanov Dynasty researcher, you should want that egg more than anyone, right?"

"That's right," Seiran Hoshi frowned and turned her head away, "but I don't have 800 million on me."

"Hmph, that's true. Even I can only scrape together 200 million. I just don't know if Chairman Suzuki has any intention of selling it." Ryu Samukawa looked at Shiro Suzuki.

Seeing everyone's eyes fixed on him, Shiro Suzuki said with a smile: "Everyone, if you want to buy this Memory Egg, you shouldn't be asking me."

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

Shiro Suzuki bowed slightly toward Akaso Kaze to indicate.

"For the Suzuki family, a mere 800 million is nothing, far less than the friendship of Lord Onmyoji. Therefore, I have already gifted this Memory Egg to Lord Akaso."

"What?"

Several people looked at Akaso Kaze with different expressions.

Especially Seiran Hoshi; she narrowed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Then Lord Akaso..." the Russian Embassy secretary asked eagerly.

Akaso Kaze waved his hand, interrupting his words.

"You all should know that I am an Onmyoji. If you want to get something from my hands, you have to pay a corresponding price."

He smiled and indicated to Shiro Suzuki: "I have already received the Suzuki family's sincerity."

Hearing Akaso Kaze say this, Shiro Suzuki immediately showed joy.

Sure enough, sending Ayako was the right move.

You know, that Memory Egg had long been gifted to Akaso Kaze, but he had never said anything.

And Ayako followed him all the way here, finally getting such a sentence.

However, although the direction was right, it was clearly not enough; I need more guarantees.

Shiro Suzuki's eyes flickered.

"I wonder if Lord Onmyoji can accept the price of 800 million?"

Art dealer Kanichi Inui asked respectfully.

Akaso Kaze is not the same as the Suzuki consortium.

As an internationally renowned art dealer with a deep background, Kanichi Inui was not afraid of Shiro Suzuki at all.

But for Akaso Kaze, he was truly a bit afraid.

This Onmyoji has abilities that ordinary people cannot understand.

Facing Kanichi Inui's inquiry, Akaso Kaze shook his head faintly: "If you want to move me, 800 million won't be enough."

"Then, Lord Akaso, can you let us admire this Memory Egg?" Seiran Hoshi said with a smile.

Akaso Kaze nodded.

Without him having to do anything, Shiro Suzuki opened the wooden box, inside which was an exquisite green egg-shaped craft.

Opening the Easter egg, inside was a neat family.

"Inside is the model of Emperor Nicholas's family, made entirely of gold."

"And this Easter egg also has a very interesting mechanism."

Shiro Suzuki took a silver key from the box, inserted it into the shell of the egg carving, and twisted it. The family model inside slowly rose a few centimeters, and the owner inside slowly turned the pages of a book.

Akaso Kaze and the others admired the Memory Egg and listened to Shiro Suzuki's introduction.

Conan and Heiji Hattori beside him began to whisper, and Kogoro Mouri also leaned over at some point.

"The clock without a second hand moves to the twelfth character. I still don't understand this sentence..."

Kazuha interrupted: "Could it be the 12th character of the Japanese syllabary? That would be four o'clock."

Heiji Hattori shook his head, "Kid's code shouldn't be that simple."

"Hmph." Uncle Mouri said confidently, "I know, it's not the Japanese syllabary, but English letters. The 12th letter of the English alphabet is L, which corresponds exactly to three o'clock on a watch!"

"And 3 AM is still before dawn, which perfectly matches the time period Kid predicted."

Uncle Mouri stuck out his tongue and laughed triumphantly, patting Heiji Hattori's shoulder repeatedly, "Kid Kudo, this puzzle isn't hard at all! Hahahaha!"

Conan looked at Uncle Mouri's smugness and was a bit unhappy.

He turned to look at Akaso Kaze and tugged on his clothes.

"Brother Akaso, do you think Uncle Mouri's analysis is correct?"

"Uncle Mouri just reasoned that..."

Akaso Kaze waved his hand to interrupt Conan's explanation, looked at Kogoro Mouri who was excitedly patting Heiji Hattori's shoulder, leaned close to Conan, and whispered:

"If it's Mr. Mouri's reasoning, then I think this time must be wrong."

"Wrong? Why?" Conan was stunned.

Could this guy have reasoned it out again?

But you haven't even heard Uncle Mouri's reasoning yet, how do you know it's wrong?

Akaso Kaze said with a smile: "That's because as long as it's the first reasoning of Detective Mouri, it's almost always wrong!"

Conan was stunned upon hearing this, his face full of confusion.

What kind of answer is this?

Akaso Kaze looked at Conan's confused face and continued to smile: "If you don't believe me, recall it yourself. Isn't the first reasoning of Detective Mouri for every case wrong?"

Conan touched his chin and carefully recalled the cases he had worked on with Uncle Mouri.

Okay, what this guy said made so much sense, he was speechless.

Akaso Kaze's mouth curled slightly.

He, of course, knew the answer to the notice.

But now is not the time to say it.

Using the Eye of Space to look outside, a mysterious smile appeared on Akaso Kaze's face.

Meanwhile, outside an inconspicuous ventilation window on the roof, a white-haired, red-pawed pigeon was looking into the room.

On the pigeon's claw was tied a miniature wireless eavesdropping device.

At the other end of the wireless eavesdropping device, Kaito Kuroba smiled.

"Hehe, this time the Onmyoji didn't crack the time and location. The puzzle I spent so long thinking of finally stumped him."

"Looks like I can proceed according to plan."

At this moment, in the chairman's office.

Ginzo Nakamori walked over with two subordinates, looked at the "Memory Egg" on the table, and said: "Mr. Suzuki, we will take the Memory Egg away first."

Shiro Suzuki turned to look at Akaso Kaze and said: "Lord Akaso, what do you think?"

"Are you going to transfer it to another place?"

Akaso Kaze had already heard about this from Shiro Suzuki at the airport, so he waved his hand and said, "Do as you please! Officer Nakamori, I leave the protection of the Memory Egg to you!"

"Please rest assured, we will hide the Memory Egg in a place that absolutely no one knows about, except for me and my two subordinates!"

Ginzo Nakamori nodded seriously.

"That guy Kid will never think that the real Memory Egg has already been hidden by us, and the one in the exhibition hall is just a fake!"

"This time, we absolutely won't let him succeed!"

After Ginzo Nakamori finished speaking, he turned and left with the "Memory Egg." Akaso Kaze chuckled twice.

You guy, who is played around by Kaito in all sorts of ways every time, why do you have such mysterious confidence?

Never mind, anyway, Ginzo Nakamori was just here to play a bit part, let them be happy!

Akaso Kaze thought to himself while using a Space Gate and Hand of Intent to swap the Memory Egg with something he had prepared long ago.

Hehe, how could he possibly hand over the genuine "Memory Egg" to someone else? That's not a joke!

Such a treasure is safest kept in the soul space!

As for the fake "Memory Egg" that Nakamori and the others took away?

If Kid really gets it, he will definitely be very surprised.

Just consider it playing with him; anyway, he was bored.
