Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

?)?Д?(

Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mouri and the others' expressions changed drastically.

"Conan, you broke the egg!"

"Eight...eight hundred million yen!"

"How much eel rice will we have to compensate for?"

Even the three fearless kids were so frightened by Conan's actions that they were somewhat incoherent.

"Conan!"

Ran Mouri also frowned, never expecting Conan to be so clumsy.

Sonoko smiled and waved her hand, saying, "It's okay! That mirror is relatively easy to disassemble. It seems to have been installed later. I took it apart many times when I was a kid."

call--

Hearing Sonoko say that, Kogoro Mouri and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ok?"

Just as Conan was about to reinstall the small mirror into the Egg of Memories, he suddenly noticed that the light reflected by the mirror seemed a little off.

Sensing something was wrong, Conan hurriedly called out to Kurosaki Tamaka, "Tamaka-neechan, could you please turn off the lights in the room?"

Click!

Upon hearing this, Kurosaki Yuka subconsciously glanced at Suzuki Shiro. After seeing Suzuki Shiro nod, she then pressed the light switch next to her.

Amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, Conan turned on his wristwatch-shaped portable flashlight and shone the light on the small mirror in his hand.

The circular light reflected from the small mirror cast an image on the wall: a magnificent castle.

"Butler Zeb, this castle is not..."

When Natsumi Kosaka saw the castle in the picture, she looked at the old butler beside her with some surprise.

The old butler nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right! It is indeed the castle in Yokosuka."

"Miss Natsumi, do you recognize this castle?" Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but ask upon seeing this.

Natsumi Kosaka nodded slightly and said, "Yes! Because this castle was built by my great-grandfather and later handed over to my grandmother to manage."

"I see!"

Kogoro Mouri looked enlightened and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your great-grandfather and great-grandmother must have gone through a period of financial difficulties after they returned to the island nation, which is why they sold one of the Memory Eggs."

Judging from the image reflected in this mirror, I think the remaining Egg of Memory should be hidden inside this castle.

Natsumi Kosaka thought Kogoro Mouri's analysis made a lot of sense, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Mr. Mouri, after you return to Tokyo, would you be willing to accompany me to the castle?"

"I'd be happy to!"

Kogoro Mouri replied with a smile.

"Miss Xia Mei, please let me go with you!"

"Please let me take the photos."

"Sister Xia Mei, we also want to go treasure hunting in the castle. Can we go together?"

Apart from Shiro Suzuki, everyone else showed great interest in the second Egg of Memory.

Natsumi Kosaka smiled and said, "Since everyone is so interested, let's go together."

"Great!"

……

next morning

After resting, the group drove to the castle in Yokosuka, which was a very luxurious and magnificent castle.

However, what struck everyone as odd was that the castle's style was not typical of Russian castles; rather, it resembled a German castle, modeled after Cinderella's Castle.

"It really looks like a castle from a fairy tale!"

"There must be a lot of treasure hidden inside this castle."

Looking at the enormous, luxurious castle before them, Genta and his companions' reckless spirits began to burn fiercely once more.

"You three better not wander off later, or you'll be in trouble if you accidentally get lost inside the castle, understand?"

Noticing the three children's eager expressions, Suzuki Haruaki quickly gave them a heads-up.

Since the most dangerous Urashi Seiran had already been subdued by Suzuki Seimei, he wasn't worried about Ayumi and the others being in danger, but rather about them getting lost.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Suzuki Harumi's words, the three little ones readily agreed.

"Alright, let's go inside quickly!"

Led by Natsumi Kosaka and the old butler, the group entered the castle with great anticipation.

"This is the knight's room, where you can find Western knight's armor and tapestries, all from the master's old collection."

"This is the lady's room. The old lady often spends the day here because she says it's the most comfortable room."

"This is the Emperor's quarters..."

As the old butler led everyone on a tour of the castle's interior, he made sure to explain the names and origins of the rooms to Suzuki Seimei and his companions.

After touring the castle's interior, Conan raised his head and asked curiously, "Grandpa Butler, does this castle have a basement?"

"No."

"Did Xia Mei's great-grandfather have any office rooms in this castle?"

"The master has an office on the first floor."

"office?"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri thought for a moment and said, "Miss Natsumi's great-grandfather might have left some clues in his office. Let's go take a look!"

"Okay, everyone, please follow me."

The old butler nodded and led everyone to the office on the first floor.

Although Miss Xia Mei's great-grandfather had been dead for many years, her grandmother still had the office cleaned every day when she was alive.

Therefore, the office is very clean, with bookshelves filled with all kinds of books and many photos hanging on the walls.

"Here are photos of the gentleman, as well as many other photographic works. Feel free to browse them."

After looking around, Suzuki Seimei couldn't help but ask with some doubt, "Natsumi-neechan, where's your great-grandmother's photo?"

Several photos of Natsumi Kosaka's great-grandfather were hanging on the wall, but only her great-grandfather was in the photos; her great-grandmother was not seen.

Natsumi Kosaka explained somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, my great-grandmother passed away before I was even born, and I have never seen a picture of her, so I don't even know what she looked like."

???

Upon hearing this, Conan frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Could it be that Miss Natsumi's great-grandmother has some special identity that makes it inconvenient to leave a photo?"

"Huh?"

Inui Shoichi was suddenly drawn to a group photo on the wall and exclaimed in surprise, "That man is Rasputin!"

"That's right! It even has his signature on it."

Upon hearing this, Siryuv Chinnikov moved closer to Inui, looked at the Russian signature on the photo, and nodded affirmatively.

Ran Mouri asked curiously, "Dad, who is Rasputin?"

"This one……"

Kogoro Mouri thought for a moment and said, "All I know is that he seems to be a big bad guy!"

(╬￣Dish￣)

Upon hearing this, Pu Siqing frowned slightly.

If it weren't for the fact that Urashi Seiran had already been subdued by Suzuki Seimei, given her vengeful nature, she would have put Kogoro Mouri on her kill list just from hearing him talk about his ancestor like that.

"Rasputin is also known as the 'mad monk,' and is said to be the culprit who caused the destruction of the Romanov dynasty."

Qian Jiang turned his head and explained, "This person once held power for a time, but was later killed by his royal relative, Duke Yousi."

When his body was found in the river, his skull was caved in, and his right eye had been gouged out.

"His right eye was gouged out?"

Upon hearing this, Han Chuanlong, who was holding the camera, changed his expression slightly and revealed a thoughtful look.

What is this thing?

While Mitsuhiko was engrossed in searching for the treasure, he suddenly noticed that a piece of the wooden board near the corner of the bookshelf seemed to be missing, and he subconsciously reached out to tap it.

"Click!"

With a crisp sound, the wooden board with a missing corner was lifted up by Mitsuhiko, revealing a combination lock full of buttons.

"How could something like this be here?"

When the old butler saw the strange combination lock, his eyes widened in surprise.

"This must be the combination lock to open the secret room!"

"The text on these buttons must be in Russian, right?"

Siluov Chinnikov walked to the combination lock, looked at the familiar script in his native language, and nodded affirmatively: "That's right! It is indeed Russian."

"Miss Xia Mei, do you know the password?"

Natsumi Kosaka shook her head and said, "I don't know. This is the first time I've ever heard of a combination lock in this room."

"remember!"

Without a second thought, Kogoro Mori exclaimed, "The password must be 'memory' in Russian!"
