Chapter 474: Conan was pitted again

~5 min read 908 words

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

"Could it be that there were originally two eggs?" Conan interjected, "The outlines of the Memory Egg on these two sheets of paper don't match; there were originally two drawn on one large sheet of paper, and the middle part was finally missing."

Conan said while fiddling with the Memory Egg placed on the table.

"Hey, Conan!" Mouri Kogoro next to him exclaimed.

"Click!"

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

Uncle Mouri next to him was dumbfounded, his eyeballs almost popping out.

Conan was also stunned, staring blankly for a while, then turned his head toward 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 Memory Egg is so valuable, repairing it once will probably cost tens of millions. Conan, you will pay for it, right..."

"Huh, tens of millions?"

Conan opened his mouth wide, his face turning pale.

He really wanted to slap himself.

Why the hell did I have to be so handsy!

It's over now, a debt of tens of millions, Detective Mouri will kick me out of the house...

"Hehe, I'm kidding you."

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

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

This favor came really easily.

Bang.

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

"Look at the good deed you did, little brat, fortunately Akaso-san is generous, why don't you thank him quickly."

"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 with a blushing face.

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

This thing had been in his hands for many days.

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

"Huh?"

Conan was dumbfounded.

He picked up the Memory Egg and looked at it.

It was exactly the same as before.

It was restored to its original state so easily?

And you said tens of millions in repair costs.

You scared the shit out of me!

Huh?

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

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

"Hey, little brat, what kind of tricks are you trying to play!" Mouri Kogoro couldn't watch anymore.

Almost paid tens of millions just now, what are you doing again.

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

Since Conan discovered it, he didn't need to stop him.

Secretary Nishino would naturally listen to Akaso Kaze's words; he turned off the lights in the room.

The whole room suddenly became dark.

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

Aiming the watch at the mirror surface and pressing the lighting switch, a beam of light shone on the mirror, expanding into a light ball reflected on the wall.

And in this light ball, 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 the mirror surface 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 exclaimed as they looked at the pattern on the wall.

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

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

"That's right." Sawabe Kuranosuke nodded, "This castle is exactly 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 Memory Eggs 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."

"Afterward, they sold the first egg and used the money obtained to build that castle located 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 in the first egg by means of magic mirror messaging, and this first egg passed through several hands and finally fell into my hands."
