Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

This kind of quarrel involving spitting was not what President Suzuki wanted to see, and he had a personal guest here, so he stepped in to put an end to the situation.

The four of them did not get entangled and left one after another. At the same time, Mr. Nishino, who was going to get the egg of memory, happened to arrive and met them. The arrogant and arrogant Kankawa Ryu, when he saw Nishino, was like a chicken grabbed by the back of the neck, and suddenly raised his head with fear on his face, which made people wonder if there was any connection between the two.

It's really not good for young children to watch them arguing.

However, Genta was just calculating how many servings of eel rice could buy for 800 million yen, while Ayumi was looking forward to what the egg looked like.

"President, I brought the eggs."

"Thank you for your hard work. Please put the eggs on the table."

"Yes."

Shiro Suzuki gestured for them to take a seat.

"Can we see the egg?"

Xiaolan asked curiously.

Sonoko didn't care. She said, "It doesn't look that good. When I was a kid, I used it as a toy."

A toy worth eight hundred million... Winette didn't know how to complain. She saw Suzuki Shiro open the box. Inside was a green-based egg with exquisite patterns carved on it. The petals looked a bit like mirabilis jalapa, and four branches extending upward met at the top of the egg.

"Nishino, pour everyone a drink." Suzuki Shiro ordered.

"This is the egg of memories..." The children exclaimed when they saw the egg.

“It doesn’t feel as beautiful as I imagined.”

"Well, it looks like an ostrich egg."

Hattori and Kazuha stared at the egg, talking to each other.

Easter eggs are not very popular nowadays, but related crafts have something in common, usually with some mechanisms designed in them. Winnet only glanced at them briefly, as her character was not suitable for staring at them intently.

"Simple and natural beauty." Xiao Ai said softly.

Superficial people only pay attention to the gorgeousness. She can feel the delicate patterns and the superb skills of the craftsmen. However, due to the limitations of the materials, its historical value is higher than its actual value.

"This can be opened," Conan interjected.

"Yes, you know it very well." President Suzuki opened the eggshell and revealed what was inside. "Inside is a model of Emperor Nicholas' family, all made of gold."

Seeing the detailed golden model, exclamations were heard one after another.

"This egg has a very interesting mechanism!"

As he spoke, Suzuki Shiro took out a small, simple silver key and inserted it into the base of the egg.

As it rotated, Winnet realized that it was a clockwork. After the string was fully pulled, the model popped out slightly from the base. Emperor Nicholas in the center moved and flipped through the book in his hand. His relatives surrounded him, forming a happy scene.

"This egg is also recorded in the records of the Russian dynasty. Take a look." Suzuki Shiro spread the pages of the book in front of everyone. There was a drawing of the egg and a model of the royal family inside. "It is translated as the Egg of Memory."

This name is still used when translated from Russian into English.

The record on the page is marked 1917.

"Are those sparkling things inside the egg gems?" Xiaolan noticed that there were tiny shiny crystals in the eggshell.

"No," President Suzuki shook his hand, "it's just glass."

"what?"

“It’s just glass.”

"But this is a gift from the emperor to the queen. Isn't it strange?"

"Nicholas II, who ruled Russia at the time, was forced to implement a constitutional monarchy because of the revolution that broke out in his country. He was also in a situation of internal and external troubles because of his advocacy of empire and expansionism, the failure of internal reforms, the Balkan issue, etc."

As soon as Xiao Ai opened her mouth, she attracted everyone's attention. She didn't care and continued:

"The actions of the trusted evil monk Rasputin also brought serious consequences. The royal family and the lower classes were separated, and the country fell into financial difficulties... Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the expenses of making eggs were reduced."

There was silence.

Sonoko was the first to whisper to Winnett: "Is she really an elementary school student...I can't understand a word she's saying."

Winnet smiled awkwardly.

"Xiao Ai, you..." Xiaolan also stuttered. She wanted to ask but didn't know how to start.

"These are all taught to me by sister Winnet."

Xiao Ai said slowly and seriously: "She has a Bible from the Russian period. I was curious, so Sister Winnet told me its origin. It happened to be from the same period as this egg."

"So that's how it is." Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief.

Hattori and Kazuha looked at Winnet as if they were meeting her for the first time, as if to say, "You are teaching this to a child."

Winette:?

But she also understood why they were surprised, because the world history section in their textbooks rarely mentioned Russia. In addition, most of the world history was in foreign languages, translated into katakana, which was difficult to remember, and the content covered was also very general. They were only high school students now, so they lacked knowledge reserves in this area.

It was impossible to explain, Miss Winnet kept smiling.

……

389 Draw Lots

"Well, as the kid said, rumor has it that Russia ran into financial difficulties when the fifty-first egg was being made."

President Suzuki's words support Ai's statement, but compared to this matter, what the detectives are more concerned about is the warning letter from Kaito Kid.

Hattori Heiji pinched his chin and murmured the following content: "From the dusk lion to the dawn maiden, the hour hand without seconds reached the twelfth character, and finally descended from the shining sky tower. The shining sky tower... Why does Osaka Castle shine?"

As a friend of Sonoko, Winnet privately learned the contents of the notice. The three-sentence code is very standard, corresponding to the date, time, and place. The first sentence has been confirmed, which is the last day of Leo to the first day of Otome, that is, the night of August 8; the second sentence has no conclusion yet, Winnet speculated that it was some kind of Japanese guessing method, which she really hated.

The last sentence was said by Hattori, and is currently interpreted as the location being Osaka Castle.

Winnett had no idea how she came to this conclusion.

"Fool, Mr. Taiko, who built Osaka Castle, believed that the development of Osaka would be like the Osaka Light. You don't understand that!"

Kazuha looked at him like a fool. She was very keen on bickering with Hattori. A silly childhood farce. But then again, riddles usually don't use such subjective connotations. Kazuha had just finished speaking when an angry voice came from the door again.

"Yes, Kidd will appear in the castle tower of Osaka Castle. There is absolutely no doubt about that."

Superintendent Chaki Shintaro of the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division led Officer Nakamori, both of whom came in front of them with their arms bent, looking like they were about to fight. Nakamori replied in tacit understanding: "But, the hour hand without seconds reaches the twelfth word. I still don't understand this sentence."

"Isn't it the twelfth character in the Japanese syllabary?"

He Ye's simple answer surprised everyone present.

Maybe I felt that the answer to the puzzle couldn't be that simple, so I never thought about it in this direction.

Xiaolan and Sonoko were the first to respond and started counting the fifty sounds.

"It's si." Xiao Ai reminded.

Yuanzi said in surprise: "That's four o'clock!"

The pronunciation of si and four is similar, but if it is just a homonym, it is a bit weird.

"No!" Nakamori shook his head, "Kid's code wouldn't be that simple."

"Haha, I understand, Mr. Policeman."

Kogoro tightened his collar, looking as if he understood everything, and gave a thumbs up with his left hand: "It's not the Japanese 50 sounds, but the English alphabet."

"The English alphabet?"

"The 12th letter of the English alphabet is L, which is..."

"Three points!" President Suzuki was the first to answer, and immediately expressed his admiration for Kogoro, "You are indeed a famous detective."

Winette was speechless when she saw Kogoro's signature grin.

Isn’t the 12th letter of the English alphabet much simpler than the sounds?

She found it unlikely, but Chaki Shintaro already believed it and closely linked three in the morning with before dawn. At first glance, it seemed to be the case.

This kind of performance-type criminal chose three o'clock in the morning, which really didn't fit his personality. However, Winette was not sure. Kaito Kid was still a young boy. The last time she saw him in the East Tower, she was sure that he was not even twenty years old.

According to the most common opening in novels, perhaps Kaito Kid is an apprentice-in-law, or even a son inheriting his father's business. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to imitate. After all, Kaito Kid's image and style are relatively unique.

"Just wait, Kaito Kid! This time I will definitely bring you to justice!" Officer Nakamori said hatefully.

His ambitions did not infect anyone, and everyone who took Kogoro's reasoning seriously immediately decided to have a good time in Osaka. The Junior Detective Team, who had been thinking about the evening attack, was also deeply attracted by this proposal.

"give it to me!"

He Ye patted his flat chest and said he would take them on a tour.

It was still much earlier than three in the morning, so no one was nervous. Besides, she wasn't here to catch Kidd, and if the scene tonight wasn't grand and attractive enough, she wouldn't even show up.

Sonoko said goodbye to Suzuki Shiro first, and she sent Mr. Nishino away when he asked if he needed a car. They planned to walk around. Winnett called Clyde, who had said before that he had no interest in eggs, so he was still looking at other collections in the museum. Winnett asked him if he wanted to join them, and the latter said that he didn't have time to taste the specialties when he came here last time to deal with the CIA, so he planned to act alone.

“What delicious food is there in Osaka?”

"Yuanta, didn't you just eat three big bowls of eel rice?" Mitsuhiko complained.

"Three hours have passed." Yuan Tai touched his stomach silently.

“Food tastes better when you endure it.”

Xiao Ai said casually that her words gave Yuanta inspiration.

The weather was clear and sunny, but the temperature was not high and there was a hint of chill in the air. After leaving the Suzuki Museum of Art, Heye led them to the nearby shrine, Namba Hotei Shrine. It might not be the peak season, so the shrine seemed empty, with only them.

"The fortune telling here is very accurate!"

In addition to paying homage, they will draw lots. They are all very familiar with this process. They throw loose coins into the box of the shrine. After paying homage, they will draw a piece of paper from the fortune box just like drawing lots.

"Miss Winnet, come too." Yuanzi pulled her to the sign box.

Winnett was embarrassed. Although she didn't feel disgusted with entering the shrine, she couldn't pray to a foreign god. She used her faith as an excuse and emphasized her identity to politely refuse Sonoko's invitation. However, Sonoko completely ignored her concerns.

"It's okay," she said. "It's just a fortune."

"However, the results obtained in this way may not be effective." He Ye added softly.

"It won't hurt to take a hit. It's not a small thing to prove your piety, right?"

With Xiao Ai's words, Winnet also gritted her teeth and drew a lot, then slowly opened it like the others.

"How is it?" Xiao Ai tugged at the corner of her clothes.

Winette sighed.

"Big evil."

"Can I really draw the most evil one?" Ai also looked puzzled. No wonder not many people come to this shrine.

In fact, there are quite a few coins in the wishing box, and generally few people come to worship in the afternoon.

Winnet spread out the paper and glanced at the contents on it: an impulsive action, accompanied by unexpected danger.

Not only that, there are also taboos in the two columns of going out and fortune, as if she is about to have bad luck.

Xiao Ai also kept silent after seeing this. She looked at Winnet suspiciously, as if waiting for her to say something.

"I don't have anything planned recently," she said.

"Really?"

Xiao Ai obviously didn't believe it. Although she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, she didn't deny their existence and power. If possible, she wanted Winnet to give up some "sudden" actions. If it was really as predicted by the paper, it would be worrying. She touched the back of Winnet's hand with her palm and felt a chill. Although it was like this before, this chill always made people think of lying.

Impossible to say.

She would not tell Xiao Ai anything about the organization, they had already agreed not to mention it. This was not a barrier, but they both understood each other's thoughts, but sometimes too much understanding would easily lead to a wrong inference, thinking from the other's situation, and involuntarily inferring the worst.

"I'm Daji!"

Ayumi's happy voice frightened Ai so much that she dropped her hands. She turned around quickly and saw three little brats gathered together, with Ayumi secretly looking in Conan's direction.

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Ai smiled and whispered to Winnet:

"It seems that the sign is related to love, and the other side is equally easy to understand."

Like a senior, Xiao Ai talked freely. Xiaolan, who was holding a piece of paper, was surrounded. When the topic of love was brought up, Sonoko and Kazuha both leaned over like curious little girls.

"I also won the lucky number!" Xiaolan said happily.

"let me see."

"Those who wait will meet their lovers." Xiaolan read out the contents on the signature paper, causing Winnet and Xiaoai to look at each other.
