Conan: The Unscientific Uchiha

"This is my first-year junior at school, Koji Shimizu. He is a friend of Xiaolan and I. He is also here to help."

"Haha, that's great, I'll leave it to you too."

After listening to Sonoko's introduction, Suzuki Shiro smiled kindly and greeted Shimizu Koji and the others.

Shimizu Koji just nodded calmly, but Hattori Heiji on the side smiled, as if greeting a classmate, waved his hand, and said with a relaxed smile: "Don't worry! I'll take care of it, old man."

"Heiji!?"

"Hey, you guy, how dare you call Chairman Suzuki an old man."

Sure enough, after Hattori Heiji finished speaking, he was met with severe condemnation from Kazuha and Mouri Kogoro.

Mouri Kogoro looked very nervous and excited, but Suzuki Shiro still smiled kindly and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

"It's okay, young man, Mr. Maori, let me introduce you to some friends here first."

As soon as Suzuki Shiro's words changed, he didn't look at Hattori Heiji anymore. With a finger, he directed everyone's attention to the U-shaped sofa in the living room.

Hattori Heiji was reprimanded by Kazuha in a low voice. His face turned darker, but he was obviously aware of his rashness, but he still muttered a few words, which made Kazuha, who was kindly trying to persuade him, immediately gritted his teeth.

However, all this was noticed by Qingmizu Koji and Haibara Ai who were standing beside them.

"This is the First Secretary of the Russian Embassy, ​​Mr. Siruov Chennikov."

A foreign man with short white hair and a formal suit like Mouri Kogoro stood up from the sofa. Following Suzuki Shiro's introduction, he nodded to everyone.

"Please give me your advice."

Chennikov is relatively tall, at least 1.9 meters tall, and appears to be relatively burly, and it seems that because of this, the way he looks at everyone seems to have a certain sense of superiority.

"This guy next door is the art dealer I hired, Mr. Ganjiang Yi."

An old man in a red suit, stooped and thin, with two big beards under his nose stood up from the sofa and nodded in greeting with a calm expression.

After him, there was the one on the far right of the sofa, the only woman present.

She was very eye-catching in her cheongsam. At least Mouri Kogoro and his group, including Xiaolan Sonoko and even Haibara Ai, all noticed her before Suzuki Shiro introduced her.

Seeing that she had already stood up, Suzuki Shiro paused and said directly: "She is a research scholar of the Romanov Dynasty, Pu Si Qinglan."

"Hello."

Hearing this unusual yet slightly harsh accent, Koji Shimizu's attention was immediately drawn to the man who was filming randomly with a camera.

Pu Siqinglan would never have imagined that the greeting she had practiced for a long time just to deceive others would attract the extra attention of a real monster.

She sat back with a gentle expression. Her snow-white and delicate thighs under the cheongsam were mature and charming, exactly like those of a young girl. She not only attracted the attention of men, but even Xiaolan and the others were attracted by her elegance and composure that seemed to come from an ancient country.

"Ahem, the last person here is Mr. Samkawa Ryu, a freelance video writer who applied to take photos of the treasures."

Suzuki Shiro's slight cough diverted everyone's attention back.

"Please give me more advice."

But Hanchuanlong, who was sitting alone on a couch, was the only one who didn't get up to say hello to everyone.

He looked awkward, with one eye half-opened, and he was only looking at everyone through a handheld camera.

Therefore, even if Mouri Kogoro glanced at him, he immediately withdrew his gaze and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

As soon as Mouri Kogoro turned his head, he asked directly, "Mr. Suzuki, are these people here to appraise that treasure? So, what is the appraisal?"

As soon as Mouri Kogoro finished speaking, before Suzuki Shiro could react, the atmosphere of the people on the sofa over there changed instantly.

"Eight hundred million." Gan Jiangyi's voice was plain but powerful.

"Eight, eight hundred million!?"

When Mouri Kogoro heard this, his eyes widened and he leaned back suddenly. If Xiaolan hadn't helped him, he would have been frightened to the ground.

Although he was mentally prepared before coming, Mouri Kogoro was still shocked when he suddenly heard this number.

"If you are willing to sell, I can raise the price higher."

Kanshouichi didn't look at Mouri Kogoro, he was just talking to Suzuki Shiro who was standing next to everyone.

Regardless of the old face he raised at this moment, or the undisguised and arrogant words about increasing the price, even Koji Shimizu raised his eyebrows at this moment.

And Yuanzi couldn't help but become cold, and her eyes became a little unhappy.

Is this person not sick?

Who do you think you are talking to?

However, there was no time left for everyone to react or complain. The one who rushed to the battlefield was Chennikov, who was just as arrogant.

"President!" He blocked the leader with one hand and spread out his other hand, his body language was very rich.

"That is a treasure of Russia. Rather than selling it to such a blind black market, it is better to give it to us and let our Russian Art Museum keep it."

As soon as these words came out, even Suzuki Shiro, who always had a kind smile on his face, did not hold back. The corners of his mouth twitched, not knowing how to evaluate this kind of self-righteous behavior of free prostitution. This was a rare thing in his ups and downs in the business world. kind of people.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but complained in a voice that only a few of them could hear: "This kind of thing is called 'free prostitution', right?"

Xiaolan smiled coquettishly and nodded. She didn't know what to say for a moment, because the excitement was still going on.

"You said I have no vision!?"

The general's old face became angry, and he turned around to compete with Chennikov, who was half a body taller than him.

"Yeah, yeah~~, it's really interesting. Taking pictures of people is more interesting than taking pictures of that egg."

Han Chuanlong suddenly made a mean voice, instantly attracting everyone's attention to him again.

And this was not enough, he put away the camera, stood up from the sofa, glanced sideways, but directly spoke to Pu Si Qinglan beside him and started to get angry again, "You act like it has nothing to do with you. As a matter of course, Say, you are a researcher of the Romanov dynasty, and you should want to get that egg more than anyone else."

At this time, everyone far away from the sofa, even Suzuki Shirou, could no longer say anything.

Pu Siqinglan's face stiffened when she heard this. She tilted her head and her eyes became a little complicated and unpredictable, "Yes, but I don't have 800 million yuan on me."

"That's right~, that's true. Even I can only make up 200 million."

Han Chuanlong said this, but he still looked indifferent. It was not difficult to see that he was just for the sake of the fire, because if he just bought it, he would never be able to buy it.

Chapter 208 The principal culprit is Xiao Ai, and the accomplice Qing Shui

"Ahem, in short, we can discuss the egg matter another day."

Suzuki Shiro's face was already a little ugly. For a few hundred million yen, he just invited these people to come over for valuation and then do some publicity.

But these people seem to have no idea.

Although Suzuki Shiro had a big belly, he still spoke with considerable weight. His intention to see off the guests was already obvious, so the four people present silently picked up their luggage.

"Wakali Masitah."

"Okay, I'll take my leave today."

As they stood up, the door to the room opened automatically, but only a man in a green suit holding a wooden box came in.

The man in a suit passed by a few people who were walking out. Suzuki Shiro had already entertained everyone and sat on the sofa.

Mouri Kogoro and Suzuki Shiro naturally took the main seats, while Sonoko was by her father's side. Xiaolan hugged Conan, separated him from Hattori Heiji, and sat next to Sonoko.

Hattori Heiji, Kazuha, Shimizu Koji, and Haibara Ai sat on one side of Mouri Kogoro's side.

"President, I brought the eggs."

"Ah, just open it."

"This is my secretary, Masato Nishino."

Suzuki Shiro casually asked Master Nishino to open the egg. It could be seen that he actually didn't care much about the egg. He took the opportunity to introduce Master Nishino to everyone first.

"Eh? Can we take a look at this egg now?" Xiaolan couldn't help but whisper softly. She obviously didn't expect that she would have such an opportunity.

Suzuki Shiro chuckled and was about to say a few words, but Sonoko wanted to get ahead of him, "Actually, it's nothing. On the surface, it looks pretty average."

"Besides, I remember when I was a child, I used this egg as an ordinary toy."

A brief silence ushered in the air, and Shimizu Koji and Haibara Ai could not avoid it.

Haiyuan Ai's eyelids twitched, and in a voice that only Koji Shimizu could hear, he couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "The class gap is really ridiculous and suffocating."

"Huh? That's a bit heavy to say, but it's just worth a little money."

Qingshui Koji didn't take it seriously, but he just subconsciously wanted to find a balance in Haihara Ai's heart, although Haihara Ai definitely didn't care much about it.

"Is it just worth some money?"

But unexpectedly, Haibara Ai got into a fight with Qingshui Koji. Qingshui Koji turned to look at her in confusion, but he couldn't see any extra emotions.

"Then later, I'll let you play with it as a toy."

? ?

Haiyuan Ai was stunned, and He Ye, who accidentally overheard the conversation between the two, was also stunned.

And Koji Shimizu seemed to realize that there was an ambiguity in his words, and continued to add calmly, "I meant that egg."

Hui Yuan Ai came back to her senses, looked at Qing Shui Koji's serious eyes, rolled her eyes silently, and shook her head.

The conversation between the two made Kazuyo beside him feel extremely weird, but in the end, it all boiled down to the fact that Koji Shimizu really loved Haibara Ai.

Others were not shocked for too long by Sonoko's words, because Nishino's movements were very fast, and he opened the box, which was extremely poorly packaged and would have been shattered into pieces if dropped.

A green egg with beautiful and artistic silver metal patterns on its surface appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

A crowd of people immediately gathered around them. Koji Shimizu and Ai Haibara were naturally curious, and Kogoro Mouri was the closest one.

But after a brief silence, no one said anything, but silently agreed with Yuanzi's words.

Indeed, there is nothing to see.

Apart from the beautiful patterns and the flavor of Western art, there is nothing else worth noting. And just because of this, most of the handicrafts nowadays can even make them better than this egg.

"Nishino, please pour everyone a drink."

"Hi."

Master Nishino turned around and went out, and everyone on the sofa couldn't help but talk to each other and exchange opinions.

"It doesn't seem to be anything special."

"Hmm, it looks like an ostrich egg."

"This should be openable."

Haiyuan Ai spoke calmly, and Conan opened his mouth and looked at her and Qingshui Koji beside her in surprise.

For some reason, Conan suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Huh? Yes, you are very smart, little girl."

Shiro Suzuki praised with a smile, then reached out and opened the eggshell for everyone.

"Inside is a model of Emperor Nicola's family, handcrafted entirely of gold."

The gleaming golden light suddenly made the egg's style rise a lot, and the exquisite character models and the historical status of those people also doubled its value.

At this time, in the eyes of everyone, this egg finally had enough dazzling value.

"so beautiful!"

"OK!"

"Haha, this egg also has a very interesting mechanism."

Suzuki Shiro picked up a key in the box and stretched it to the side of the egg. As he moved, everyone could clearly hear the sound of winding up.

Shiro Suzuki took back the key, and inside the egg, the golden model slowly rose up. It was a lifelike figure, and even the expression on his face could be seen clearly.

There was a man in the middle, holding a golden book in his hand, and he was slowly turning the pages.

If we look at it now, this kind of mechanism is not unusual, it can only be regarded as exquisite.

But more than a hundred years ago, when it was still a handmade craft, this was indeed an incredible treasure.

"This is.?"

Hui Yuan Ai couldn't help but let out a sigh, and her hesitant words made everyone look at her again.

"What's wrong?" Qingmizu Koji asked.
