Chapter 185

"Later, my great-grandfather returned to Japan with my great-grandmother, but my great-grandmother passed away after giving birth to my grandmother, and my great-grandfather also passed away nine years later."

"My grandfather and parents died in a car accident when I was five, and I was raised by my grandmother, but she also unfortunately passed away a month ago."

"I specifically returned to the country to organize my grandmother's belongings and discovered a drawing made by my great-grandfather. Because it happened to be related to the Egg of Memories, I rushed over to take a look."

Kousaka Natsumi said, placing the old, torn-in-half drawing on the table next to the Egg of Memories.

"It is indeed the Egg of Memories," Chairman Suzuki said after looking at the pattern and notes on the drawing. "But there are gems embedded on it."

"Could it be that there were originally two eggs?" Conan interjected. "The outlines of the Egg of Memories on these two pieces of paper don't match. Originally, two were drawn on one large piece of paper, and the middle part is missing."

Conan said while fiddling with the Egg of Memories on the table.

"Hey, Conan!" Mouri Kogoro beside him exclaimed.

"Click!"

With a slight sound, a small mirror fell off the Egg of Memories and landed on the table.

Uncle Mouri beside him was dumbfounded, his eyes almost popping out.

Conan was also stunned, staring blankly for a while before turning to Akaso Kaze.

"Akaso-niisan, I'm sorry, I... I broke it..."

"Broke it..."

Akaso Kaze found it funny in his heart, but his face was very serious.

"It seems it must be sent for repair. This Egg of Memories is so valuable; one repair will probably cost tens of millions. Conan, you'll pay for it, right..."

"Huh? Tens of millions?"

Conan opened his mouth, his face turning pale.

He really wanted to slap himself.

Why was I so clumsy!

It's over now; with a debt of tens of millions, Detective Mouri will probably kick me out...

"Hehe, I'm just kidding."

Akaso Kaze took the opportunity to rub Conan's dog head.

"I'm a very kind person; how could I let a child pay for the repairs? This... just consider it a favor you owe me."

This favor came quite easily.

Bang.

Mouri Kogoro punched Conan on the head, instantly raising a large bump.

"Look at the good work you've done, you brat. Fortunately, Akaso-san is generous. Why don't you thank him yet?"

"Thank you, Akaso-niisan."

Conan said with a mournful face.

Kousaka Natsumi blinked her big eyes and looked at Akaso Kaze.

This Onmyoji-sama is really kind-hearted. If I beg him properly, will I have a chance?

【Ding, Kousaka Natsumi has developed affection for you. Current affection level is 1.】

Huh, there's such a benefit?

Akaso Kaze glanced at the girl.

Kousaka Natsumi lowered her head, blushing.

Akaso Kaze picked up the small mirror that had fallen on the table and snapped it back on.

He had had this thing in his hands for many days.

Akaso Kaze had also studied it several times; he had also knocked that small mirror off before, and it was actually quite convenient to restore.

"Huh?"

Conan was dumbfounded.

He picked up the Egg of Memories and looked at it.

It was exactly the same as before.

It was restored to its original state so easily?

And you said something about tens of millions in repair fees.

You scared me to death!

Huh?

Looking at the pattern the small mirror reflected on his hand, Conan's eyes suddenly lit up.

He turned to the Suzuki family's secretary and said: "Mr. Nishino, please turn off the lights."

"Hey, kid, what kind of tricks are you trying to pull now!" Mouri Kogoro couldn't stand it anymore.

He almost had to pay tens of millions just now, and now he's messing around again.

Akaso Kaze waved his hand. "Mr. Nishino, do as he says."

Since Conan had discovered it, there was no need for him to stop him.

Secretary Nishino, of course, listened to Akaso Kaze's words, and he turned off the lights in the room.

The whole room instantly became dark.

Conan took out a watch; his watch had a built-in lighting function.

He aimed the watch at the mirror surface and pressed the lighting switch. A beam of light shone on the mirror and expanded into a light cluster, reflecting onto the wall.

And in this light cluster, a pattern of a castle was actually displayed.

Mouri Kogoro was dumbfounded: "Why is a picture displayed?"

Of course, he wasn't the only one dumbfounded; Suzuki Shiro, Kousaka Natsumi, and others present were also shocked by this scene.

Only Akaso Kaze was relatively clear.

He introduced faintly: "This should be the so-called magic mirror. People in the past would make a kind of magical mirror. The mirror was specially processed and contained graphics. As long as it was illuminated by light, the graphics could be magnified and reflected onto the wall."

Akaso Kaze's explanation made everyone suddenly enlightened.

Everyone looked at the pattern on the wall in amazement.

Kousaka Natsumi looked at the castle, her big eyes shining.

She turned to the butler, Sawabe Kuranosuke, and said: "Mr. Sawabe, could this castle be..."

"That's right." Sawabe Kuranosuke nodded. "This castle is the Kousaka family's castle located in Yokosuka, which was built by Kiichi-sama after he returned to Japan."

Akaso Kaze looked at the castle and said: "Natsumi-san, according to my speculation, both of these Eggs of Memories on the drawing were made by your great-grandfather."

"Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother returned to Japan during the Russian Revolution and also brought these two eggs to Japan."

"Later, they sold the first egg and used the money obtained to build that castle in Yokosuka, while the second egg was hidden inside the castle."

"Before your great-grandfather sold the first egg, he hid the information of the second egg inside the first egg by means of a magic mirror message, and this first egg passed through several hands and finally fell into my hands."
