Shiraishi originally thought he would be able to get home smoothly.
However, I watched the boring life track package in the car for a while. When I woke up, the car did not arrive in Tokyo, but stopped in front of a lively tourist attraction.
Shiraishi sat up, looked out, and found that in front of him was a famous scenic spot - Osaka Castle Park.
In other words, this is not Tokyo, but Osaka.
...encountered a case on the way?
Or can you only go so far with a car?
...That's right. After all, the police officers that Hattori Heiji can summon are basically Osaka police officers. After returning to Osaka from Tottori, we have to walk a little further to Tokyo. It seems that the ride has reached its end point. Behind it
You have to open it yourself in Shiraishi.
Shiraishi feels that the second speculation is more consistent with the truth.
However, taking a closer look, he realized that it might be a combination of 1 and 2 - At this time, Hattori Heiji and Conan were standing at the entrance of the park, in front of a somewhat familiar police officer, and the three of them were discussing something unharmoniously.
.
Shiraishi looked at it for a while and recognized that the uncle seemed to be Ginzo Nakamori, a police officer from the Investigation Division 2 of the Metropolitan Police Department.
In this world, just like the Megure Police Department often encounters Conan, the Nakamori Police Department usually appears in conjunction with Kaito Kidd.
Therefore, he is often in the newspapers, so it is not difficult to recognize him.
...It seems that we did encounter a case on the way, but it didn't look like a murder.
Officer Nakamori is not Megure, and his attitude towards the detective is not that friendly.
Shiraishi felt that he couldn't ask anything else if he added himself, so he decisively looked to the side - Mao Lilan was sitting on the other side of the back seat, clicking on the phone and chatting with someone.
Although Shiraishi didn't deliberately peek, he glanced over and subconsciously caught the key words.
——There are words like "Garden" and "Gem" on the screen.
"..." Kidd is really going to start operating again?
When Kidd is on the field, the death rate usually decreases.
But this is not absolute.
Shiraishi glanced at the screen uneasily, wanting to see if there was any mission.
At this time, the taskbar is completely empty, and it seems that you don’t need to worry about it.
But think about the degree of delay in the system... If it's not happening now, it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future.
Thinking of this, Shiraishi looked at Mao Lilan again, wanting to inquire about the situation first and see if he could guess which case this was. However, the Kidd theft incident in Osaka was not too many, and he had already remembered one.
Although Mao Lilan doesn't pay much attention to Kidd, her best friend Suzuki Sonoko equally cares for any handsome guy who appears in her field of vision. Even if she doesn't know what Kaitou Kidd looks like, she is so handsome.
Her aura, that high-end personality that comes and goes without a trace, made Suzuki Sonoko quickly become one of the fangirls.
And her family happens to be very wealthy, which can attract Kidd to come and go from time to time. As a family member of the intended victim, Suzuki Sonoko can often get a lot of inside information, and can come and go freely at the scene.
It's a rare opportunity to experience this by yourself, but it feels a bit uninteresting, so Suzuki Sonoko likes to share it with Mao Lilan.
Therefore, Shiraishi felt that Mao Lilan must know a lot of information.
Matters related to the case should actually be kept confidential.
Mao Lilan saw that the person who came to inquire was Shiraishi, and felt that he would definitely not give the Suzuki family's information to Kaitou Kidd, nor would he go out and talk nonsense. But after all, it was someone else's treasure, so she sent a message to Suzuki Sonoko for consultation.
After looking at the informant’s opinion, I asked her if she could say anything, and if so, how much she could say.
A minute later, the phone beeped and a reply was received.
Mao Lilan clicked on it and lowered her eyes to see a long string of text. Because she couldn't let go of one text message, she even sent it in several parts -
[Of course!!! I heard that Ritsu is working as a part-time detective, and I originally wanted to hire him to help protect the Egg of Memory. I prepared two months of pocket money as a commission fee, but I don’t know if it will be enough. Unfortunately, Ritsu is not short of money.
, I rely on interest to solve crimes, I can’t use money to make him fall under my pomegranate skirt, woo woo woo... But this is also one of his charming places...
Ah~~~I really want to watch two handsome guys duel for me in the next month. The winner will come back to me holding the treasure and receive a kiss from me...
I have already bought a dress in advance, selected lipstick that is difficult to wash off after being printed on the dress, bought a new camera, and a box of Polaroid photo paper, I must use them all today!!]
"..." Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment.
The first half of the sentence is barely normal...but what happens next.
Sonoko, have you read any strange movies or novels again?
At this time, Shiraishi next to him moved slightly.
He just raised his hand to tidy up his hair that was messed up while sleeping, and didn't look over here.
But Mao Lilan felt guilty, so she sat upright with excitement, swished her phone over her back and hid it, and even swung her slender arms to make a sound of breaking wind.
Shiraishi felt a chill in his back when he heard this.
What did Suzuki Sonoko return to her?
The reaction was so big. Fortunately, I didn't peek just now, otherwise I might have been silenced by Mao Lilan's conditioned reflex...
When Mao Lilan saw Shiraishi looking over, she touched the back of her head with one hand and smiled at him. With the other hand, she fastened the flip phone tightly and hid it tightly.
Although my best friend has almost no image to speak of...but we still have to try our best to save what needs to be saved.
Mao Lilan calmed down a little, cleared her throat, tried hard to forget about the small theater in Suzuki Sonoko's text message, and said seriously:
"It's like this. Last month, the Yuanzi family sorted out the warehouse and dug out an 'Egg of Memory', which they planned to put on display in their newly opened art museum. But after the brochure was printed, it didn't take long for Kidd to receive it.
invitation letter.”
As she spoke, she handed over a brochure with the words "Suzuki Museum of Modern Art" on it.
After opening it, you can see various exhibits printed on the booklet.
One of the pages had a corner folded. Shiraishi pressed the edge of the page and opened it. On the photo here, he saw a green egg-shaped ornament.
Judging from the marked dimensions, it is about the same size as an ostrich egg. It has a green paint base, is surrounded by many metal carvings, and is also inlaid with some small clear gemstones. It is quite artistic if you look closely, but it is not eye-catching at first glance.
Below is the introduction given by the appraisal expert. It may be that it was sent here not long after it was discovered to make up the numbers. The information is not detailed enough and the introduction is relatively short.
This is suspected to be the secret treasure of the Romanov dynasty - the Easter egg given to the empress by the Russian emperor. It was mainly made by gem designer Faberuge. Between 1885 and 1916, a total of 50 were made.
If the one found in the Suzuki family's warehouse is genuine, it should be the 51st one.
Shiraishi looked at the egg in the picture, and his impression became deeper.
He remembered that in this case, the villain was a beautiful sister with long legs, and Kidd was shot with a gun. He was forced to drop the egg halfway and fell into Osaka Bay. It was very miserable...
