Chapter 477: The legendary experience of the demon monk Rasputin

Mouri Kogoro walked over curiously, "Who is the Rasputin you are talking about?"

"He is the representative of the evil Tsarist regime, and also the national teacher during the reign of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of the Romanov dynasty, the demon monk Rasputin."

Mouri Kogoro frowned and asked: "Is Nicholas II the family in the 'Memory Egg'?"

Secretary Nishino nodded and replied: "Yes, that's the family in the Memory Egg."

"Rasputin had a very good private relationship with Nicholas II's family. It is said that he not only had an affair with the Empress but also had affairs with all four of Nicholas II's daughters."

Secretary Nishino dropped a big bomb, which immediately aroused the interest of the gossip queen Suzuki Sonoko. She ran over with big eyes and asked: "Is this true?"

"Hmm, the experience of this Russian demon monk is very legendary, and many of his experiences cannot be explained clearly even now."

"It is said that he possesses god-like miraculous power."

These unofficial histories and secrets immediately aroused Suzuki Sonoko's interest, and she asked Secretary Nishino to talk about it in detail.

"Rasputin was born in 1869. When he was young, Rasputin was a young rascal in the village and had been a horse thief, so he was crowned with the name 'Rasputin' by the villagers. This word itself means dissolute."

"Such a life lasted until he was in his thirties. According to him, he was enlightened by a holy person and obtained the abilities that only prophets and god-men possess."

"From that time on, Rasputin put on holy clothes in the name of religion, posed as a priest, spread prophecies and magical medical skills everywhere, and became famous because he successfully predicted a great drought and cured the dog of Nicholas II's uncle, Grand Duke Nicholas."

"Later, Rasputin used the divination and curses he learned from the holy person to easily win over a group of nobles, becoming a popular figure in high society, and his fame gradually spread into the palace."

"The Russian royal family at that time, especially Nicholas II's Empress, believed in mysticism. Their only son, Alexei, suffered from hemophilia, and the imperial doctors and famous doctors across the country could not cure him, so they summoned Rasputin into the palace for treatment."

"Miraculous things happened. Rasputin only fed the Crown Prince a small bag of medicinal powder and prayed and told stories by the Crown Prince's pillow, and Crown Prince Alexei recovered his health."

At this time, Suzuki Sonoko, who didn't understand something, asked: "Let me ask, what kind of disease is hemophilia? Is it hard to treat?"

Before Secretary Nishino could answer, Conan turned on the popular science mode.

"Hemophilia is a hereditary hemorrhagic disease. People with hemophilia have severe coagulation dysfunction. There are few clotting factors in the body, and the bleeding will not stop at the damaged part of the blood vessel. This disease is still incurable with modern medical standards."

"It is said that Crown Prince Alexei's hemophilia was inherited from the Empress, right?"

Secretary Nishino nodded in surprise, "That's right, but you, a child, actually know so much?"

Conan hurriedly laughed foolishly: "I saw this on TV."

Secretary Nishino didn't care and continued: "Since then, Rasputin became a frequent visitor to the palace, and it is said that he even had an affair with the Empress."

"This matter reached Nicholas II's ears, and Nicholas II immediately ordered Rasputin to be expelled from the palace."

"But strangely, as soon as Rasputin left the palace, Crown Prince Alexei's condition immediately worsened, and he had to invite Rasputin back to the palace to turn danger into safety."

"This kind of divine power made Nicholas II, who loved his son, completely surrender, and he had to give Rasputin three points in everything."

"Besides treating hemophilia, Rasputin's prophetic ability also shocked the royal family members."

"He once predicted that the crystal chandelier in the children's room would fall from the ceiling, and a few days later, that huge chandelier really fell."

"There was another time when Crown Prince Alexei and Nicholas II went hunting and suddenly had a high fever and nosebleeds that wouldn't stop. It was Rasputin, who was thousands of miles away, who predicted that the Crown Prince would definitely turn danger into safety the next day, and this prophecy also came true."

"In 1916, the war broke out, Nicholas II went on a personal expedition, and the domestic power fell into the hands of the Empress, but it was actually controlled by Rasputin."

"He used his power to dismiss officials at will and had relationships with a large number of noble women. It was also during this period that rumors of him having affairs with Nicholas II's four daughters spread in the streets."

"Rasputin's behavior gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of the nobles, so the princes, grand dukes, and members of parliament at that time secretly planned to kill Rasputin."

"They first fed Rasputin 8 poisonous cakes mixed with potassium cyanide, as well as a bottle of Madeira wine with potassium cyanide, but Rasputin had no reaction at all, just like a person who was fine."
