The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Clearly, things have developed in a way that has exceeded their expectations.

Ran and Sonoko, however, seemed uninterested in the matter. Instead, they pulled Miyano Akemi aside and whispered among themselves.

It's unclear what they were saying, but Yuu Aragaki noticed that Akemi Miyano's cheeks turned bright red for a moment.

Of course, he also vaguely heard words like "late at night" and "date" in Sonoko's speech.

However, they deliberately avoided the crowd and ran to a corner.

This naturally means they were discussing girls' little secrets, so Aragaki Yu didn't specifically send Yuki-onna over to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Just then, Natsumi Kosaka, having finished explaining her purpose, noticed Yuu Aragaki looking around nervously beside her.

Thinking that Aragaki Yu had something to say to her, Kosaka Natsumi turned to look at Aragaki Yu and said softly, "Mr. Aragaki, is there something you want to say?"

"Um... well, actually I just..."

Just as Aragaki Yu was about to explain to her that he was only looking at Ran and the others, he realized that everyone who had been carefully observing the blueprints just moments before was now turning to look at him.

Left with no other option, and to avoid being mistaken for a pervert, Aragaki Yu glanced at the blueprints on the table, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Perhaps it's not that the gems on the eggs are missing, but rather that the blueprints actually depict two eggs?"

Chapter 369 Magic Mirror

"Two eggs?"

Natsumi Kosaka was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Yuu Aragaki's answer.

Aside from Conan's knowing look, everyone else in the room looked puzzled.

"Because if it's just one egg, the outlines of the two halves can't be put together at all, so I'm wondering if there were originally two eggs drawn on a piece of paper, but now the middle part of the paper is missing."

Yuu Aragaki walked to the table, and while bringing the egg, which was split in two by a crack in the middle of the drawing, together, he explained to everyone.

As Natsumi Kosaka gaped in astonishment, Shiro Suzuki exclaimed, "So... I see!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

But Conan suddenly reached out and picked up the Egg of Memories from the table and examined it.

What Aragaki Yu said was indeed true, but he still couldn't understand why the egg was called the Egg of Memories.

After all, as it stands now, this egg is at best nothing more than a beautifully designed and ornate music box.

Just as Conan was turning the egg upside down, he suddenly noticed that a small mirror was embedded in the bottom of the egg.

Driven by curiosity, he couldn't resist sticking out a finger and poking at the small mirror.

However, this poke completely shattered Conan's composure.

I never expected that the small mirror embedded at the bottom of the Egg of Memories would be so unreliable.

As soon as Conan placed his finger on it, the small mirror fell off the bottom of the egg and crashed to the ground.

"Oops!!!"

Conan's face turned pale as he watched the egg spoil. He hurriedly put down the egg and frantically searched for the fallen mirror.

That's eight hundred million!

Although his family is not short of money, they are not so rich as to treat something worth 800 million yen like Sonoko does!

"What are you doing, kid?" Kogoro Mouri, who hadn't seen what Conan was doing, leaned down and questioned him with displeasure.

"This... there's a small mirror here, I accidentally dropped it..." Conan said awkwardly, scratching his head after finally picking up the small mirror.

"What!?" Kogoro Mouri's expression changed as he finally realized what Conan had done, and his eyes widened in shock.

My heart almost jumped out of my chest from the tension.

"Conan!" Even Ran looked at the mischievous child with a reproach.

"Hehehe, it's okay, it's okay!" Sonoko waved her hand dismissively and explained for Conan, "That mirror was easy to remove anyway, it seems it was put on later."

Hearing Sonoko's explanation, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I was almost scared to death by this brat!

Even though Sonoko Suzuki said that, Kogoro Mouri still couldn't help but punch Conan on the head.

Seeing Conan instantly clutching his head and bursting into tears, Kogoro Mouri sternly reprimanded him, "You brat, you better watch out!"

pat~

Just as Conan was covering his head with his hands, Yu Aragaki suddenly reached out and snatched the small mirror from Conan's hand.

"Huh?" Conan, still not quite understanding, stared blankly at his suddenly empty palm.

When Kogoro Mouri noticed Aragaki Yu's actions, he angrily scolded Aragaki Yu for potentially damaging the small mirror, which was also worth a fortune: "And you, watch your step too!"

However, Yuu Aragaki ignored Kogoro Mouri's reprimand. Instead, he curiously examined the mirror in his hand, then turned to Masato Nishino, who was standing by the wall, and asked, "Mr. Nishino, could you please turn off the light?"

“Huh?...Okay.” Nishino Masato hesitated for a moment, but when he turned his head and saw Suzuki Shiro on the sofa nodding at him, he did as Aragaki Yu said.

"You brat, what are you trying to do... Ouch!"

As the room suddenly went dark, an angry Kogoro Mouri jumped up from the sofa, but his knee accidentally hit the corner of the table, causing him to fall back onto the sofa, clutching his knee and groaning in pain.

Yuu Aragaki ignored Kogoro Mouri's painful wails and instead took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and pointed it at the small lens in his hand.

The next second, to everyone's astonishment...

The beam of the cell phone flashlight, reflected by the small mirror, shone directly onto Siroov Chinnikov, who was standing nearby.

After Sileu hurriedly dodged away, a beautiful castle scene appeared on the wall behind him.

"Why, why are there images?" Sireuf's face was full of disbelief.

"It's the Magic Mirror!" Qian Jiangyi was initially surprised, but then he quickly realized what it meant.

"A magic mirror?" Sireuf had clearly never heard of such a thing.

At this moment, Pu Siqinglan, who had been silent all along, seemed to have thought of something and explained to Xiluofu, "I have heard that there is a kind of magical mirror in China and Japan that can reflect images after special treatment."

“That’s right.” Qian Jiang nodded and added, “There used to be quite a few hidden Catholics who used these magic mirrors to secretly reflect the cross and pray.”

Just as everyone was curious about the magic mirror in Qian Jiang's mouth.

The expression on Natsumi Kosaka's face, who was sitting on the sofa, changed slightly.

She couldn't help but stand up from the sofa and turn to look at the butler behind her. "Mr. Sawabe, this castle..."

Mr. Sawabe clearly noticed the confusion on Natsumi Kosaka's face. "Yes, this is indeed the castle in Yokosuka!"

Hearing what Natsumi Kosaka and Mr. Sawabe said, Ran suddenly remembered something. "Ah, the castle in Yokosuka? Is that the castle that always appears in advertisements?"

“Yes.” Natsumi Kosaka sat back down on the sofa and nodded slightly to Ran. “This castle was built by my great-grandfather and has been managed by my great-grandmother.”

"Is that your castle, Miss Kosaka?" Sonoko asked curiously, looking at the exquisite castle in the picture.

Natsumi Kosaka nodded again.

Upon seeing this, Sonoko's eyes immediately lit up.

Xiao Lan couldn't help but show a hint of envy in her eyes. After all, what girl wouldn't like a castle that looks like it's from a fairy tale?

Even Akemi Miyano, who was standing next to her, was no exception.

When Aragaki Yu saw that Sonoko seemed to be thinking about something, he couldn't help but hold his forehead.

He had reason to suspect that Sonoko Suzuki might be planning to buy the castle.

Chapter 370 But I do know that guy's identity

Just at this time.

Kogoro Mouri suddenly stood up and said something very crucial: "Miss Natsumi, I remember that these two eggs were made by your great-grandfather, right?"

Upon hearing this, many people's expressions changed instantly.

“Your great-grandfather made these two eggs with his wife before the Russian Revolution, and then brought them back to Japan,” Kogoro Mouri began to analyze methodically. “Perhaps they sold the jeweled part of the second egg and then built Yokosuka Castle, and the egg was probably hidden inside the castle at that time.”

After Kogoro Mouri finished speaking, those who were extremely interested in the Egg of Memories, including Sileof, couldn't help but put on serious expressions.

At this moment, Natsumi Kosaka also took out a key from her pocket. "Actually, besides this picture, there is also an old key."

Everyone present immediately realized that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this key was definitely related to the remaining egg.

“A dream egg inlaid with jewels!” Sireuf Chinnikov muttered, stroking his chin, but his expression was rather unpleasant.

It was a treasure that was already worth 800 million yuan when it was just an egg.

Unexpectedly, an even more luxurious egg appeared at this time.

Who knows how much it will cost now...

(The snow woman, who had somehow ended up inside the eggshell, stuck out her tongue at Sileof, indicating that she didn't know either.)

Art dealer Qian Jiangyi's spirits, however, have recovered, and his eyes are practically glowing with greed. "If we find it, it'll be worth a billion, no, it'll definitely be worth more than 1.5 billion!"

"What!" Kogoro Mori was so shocked by the amount held by Shoichi Inui that he almost bit his tongue. "Ten, fifteen billion!?"

Even Yuu Aragaki couldn't help but gasp at the amount.

He glared at the snow woman who had crawled out of the eggshell and climbed back onto his head, looking rather annoyed.
