He never expected that the person who would make Suzuki Shiro, the head of a chaebol with a much higher social status than him, humble himself and go to greet him in person was actually Bai Ye, a young boy who was not much older than his daughter Mori Ran.

"Osborne?"

Those present who understood the situation naturally looked shocked, while those who didn’t had no idea what was happening.

For example, Kuroba Kaito's father-in-law, Nakamori Ginzo, looked at Bai Ye with suspicion and said, "As we all know, Kaito Kid likes to use disguise to disguise himself as someone else for investigation. Mr. Suzuki, are you sure this is the guest you invited, and not Kaito Kid in disguise?"

Suzuki Shiro said with a smile: "I am sure."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Suzuki, can you let me pull his face?" Nakamori Ginzo insisted.

"stop!"

Suzuki Shiro suddenly shouted.

At the same time, Gao Jin had already stood in front of Bai Ye, his eyes glowing red. The high temperature made the temperature in the room rise by several degrees in an instant.

Ginzo Nakamori was startled.

He just wanted to verify the problem of disguise.

As for?

"Officer Nakamori!" Suzuki Shiro said sternly, "Mr. Osborne is my honored guest, a honored guest who must not be offended. Do you understand?"

Don't be fooled by this fat man Suzuki Shiro, he usually looks smiling and gentle, but once he gets angry, not to mention Nakamori Ginzo, even his boss's boss... his boss, Superintendent Hakuba, will have to stay away from him.

Ginzo Nakamori retreated in embarrassment.

Only then did Shiro Suzuki continue to introduce other people to Bai Ye with a smile.

"This is Mr. Silorov Chinikov, the first secretary of the Russian Embassy."

The man with golden hair and a sturdy build looked like a typical bear. After Suzuki Shiro introduced him, he nodded at Bai Ye with a paralyzed face:

"Please give me more advice."

He looks like the type of person who is ruthless and doesn't talk much.

"This is Mr. Qian Jiangyi, the art dealer I found."

A skinny Japanese old man who looks very shrewd.

"This is Mr. Ryu Kanakawa, a freelance video writer who came to shoot the Egg of Memories."

The long-haired young man holding the camera grinned and said:

"Please give me more advice."

Finally, Suzuki Shiro brought Bai Ye to a very beautiful woman, especially a pair of long legs wrapped in white stockings, which was extremely attractive:

"This is Ms. Pu Siqinglan, a Romanov dynasty researcher, of Chinese descent."

"Miss Pu Siqinglan?" Bai Ye's eyes lit up and he said, "Actually, I've also been studying Chinese culture recently. I find it very interesting, but there are still many things I don't understand. If I can ask you for advice in the future, please be generous and give me some pointers!"

Chapter 297 FBI Female Investigator Pu Siqinglan

"If you are really interested in Chinese culture..." Pu Siqinglan smiled and took out a business card: "You can contact me anytime."

She was someone who knew Osborne. If she could get in touch with this young man...

"Then I won't be polite."

Bai Ye took the business card with a smile.

Although his main purpose of coming to Osaka was to uncover the truth that Kogoro Mori had an illegitimate child, it felt good to find a temporary job.

"President, I brought the eggs."

Suzuki Shiro's secretary Nishino walked in holding an exquisite wooden box.

"Here?" Xiaolan asked in surprise, "Such a valuable antique, and it's also the target of Kaito Kidd. If we just take it out casually, there won't be any problems, right?"

Seeing so many police officers at the scene, you can tell how big a fuss this egg of memories has caused.

"It's okay, Xiaolan." Yuanzi put his arm around Xiaolan's shoulders and said, "I remember when I was a kid, I always used it as a toy and held it in my arms while sleeping. Later, I got tired of playing with it and threw it into the warehouse and forgot about it. This time, my dad found it during the general cleaning."

"..."

As expected of the Suzuki Foundation!

Next.

Shiro Suzuki opened the box and showed the egg of memories in front of everyone.

"It's not as beautiful as I imagined."

“It looks like an ostrich egg.”

Shiro Suzuki used the key to open the mechanism, and the golden egg's shell suddenly opened, revealing a golden model of a group of children reading a book around the emperor and the empress.

Moreover, the book in the emperor puppet's hand can turn pages.

It does look like an interesting little work of art.

"President Suzuki," said the art dealer Qian Jiangyi with a smile, "According to the market price, the price of this Egg of Memory can be up to 8 million yen. If you really want to sell it, I can raise the price a little bit on this basis. What do you think?"

"8 billion yen?"

Kogoro Mori was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

The others also looked in disbelief.

Bai Ye crossed his arms and muttered to himself, "8 million yen? Converted, that's only 500 million US dollars. Tsk, is it necessary to have such a big reaction?"

Conan, who was standing next to Bai Ye, heard what he said and couldn't help but retort: ​​"Is 500 million US dollars too little?"

"Well, that's the price of a sports car in my garage. Isn't that a lot?" Bai Ye asked back, "And I don't know how many cars of this level I've crashed out there."

"I thought this Egg of Memory was very valuable, that's why you deployed so many police officers and helicopters flying everywhere. Honestly, this is really a bit of a fuss."

"..." Conan rolled his eyes: "I forgot that the lives of chaebol sons like you are different from those of ordinary people like us."

A sports car worth 500 million US dollars can be used as a bumper car. People like this... should be shot. Drag him out and shoot him for ten minutes.

"Are those sparkling things in there gems?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"No, it's just glass," said Sonoko.

"Eh?"

Pu Siqinglan's eyes were shining, and he stared at the model of the Tsar's family. He replied casually: "According to records, this is because when these 51 eggs of memory were being made, Russia was in financial difficulties..."

"Rather than the history of this egg of memories, I am more concerned about the notice from Mr. Kidd." Sonoko said with a crazy look, "I really don't know when and how Mr. Kidd will steal this egg of memories?"

"Hey, Sonoko, what Kidd wants to steal is your family's treasure." Xiaolan couldn't help but pull the corner of Sonoko's clothes awkwardly.

"What does it matter?" Sonoko said, "If Mr. Kidd wants to steal, let him steal. Anyway, there are plenty of such things in my warehouse! If he likes, I can find a childhood toy every day for Mr. Kidd to steal."

"..."

The disparity of the world left everyone present with nothing to say "fuck" - except Bai Ye.

"Speaking of the notice letter, I still haven't cracked it." Nakamori Ginzo pondered: "The glowing attic can be said to refer to the Osaka Castle Tower, but the clock without a second hand has reached twelve words. I still don't understand this sentence."

Osaka Kuroji's girlfriend Toyama Kazuha said, "Could that be the 12th letter of the Japanese -character syllable? That would be four o'clock?"

Nakamori Ginzo said: "No, based on my experience in catching Phantom Thief Boys over the years, the code should not be that simple."

"Hmph!" Maori Kogoro snorted and said confidently, "I know, Officer Nakamori. It's not the Japanese 12-sounding phonetics, but the English alphabet. The th letter of the English alphabet is L, which corresponds exactly to the three o'clock on the watch."

"Yes, three o'clock in the morning, this matches the girl at dawn, it should not be wrong." Nakamori Ginzo thought for a moment and agreed with Mouri Kogoro's judgment.

"You are worthy of being a famous detective. You solved the mystery of Kaito Kid so quickly." Shiro Suzuki said affectionately while holding Kogoro Mori's hand.

"..."

Bai Ye patted Conan on the head and said with a smile: "See how much your father-in-law loves you. He has helped you eliminate another wrong option."

"..." Conan was speechless at first, but Bai Ye's words suddenly made him find a new perspective - based on past experience, every time they experienced a murder case, Maori Kogoro was always the first to stand up and talk nonsense, and the murderer he chose must be wrong. Conan used to be very impatient about this, but now he suddenly thought that this could help him eliminate a wrong option and save him a lot of trouble!

"Well... come to think of it, uncle isn't that useless after all."

Conan has to admit that if he follows this line of thought, he wonders how much help Kogoro Mouri will provide him in the future.

No wonder people often say that even a piece of toilet paper has its uses.

Although the uncle has a lot of bad habits like alcoholism, domestic violence, lust, sloppiness, forgetfulness, etc., he is still more useful than a piece of toilet paper, right?

"So what do you think about Kidd's notice?" Conan had no idea for the time being and couldn't help but ask Bai Ye.

"How do I see it?" Bai Ye supported his head with his hands and said without blinking, "I will stare at it."

Conan: "..."

He knew that every time he talked to this guy, there would be no good results. He would either be choked or beaten. He was almost used to it.

……

Osaka Castle, castle tower.

Night falls.

Bai Ye drank milk tea, waiting for the show with great interest.

Conan and Hattori Heiji are also staying here.

Sonoko, Xiaolan, Toyama and Ye have returned from shopping together.

I'm also looking forward to watching the performance of Kidd, the top Japanese star.

"Come to think of it, Miss Pu Siqinglan, your eyes are actually gray?" Suzuki Sonoko asked curiously, "Does it mean that all Chinese people have gray eyes?"

Bai Ye took a big sip of milk tea and smiled without saying anything.

Pu Siqinglan didn't know how to answer.

Mao Lilan came to her rescue: "Ms. Qinglan's name means blue orchid, and my name also has the word Lan in it!"

Pu Siqinglan gave Mao Lilan some basic knowledge and found out that the pronunciation of the Chinese word "Lan" is the same as the Japanese word "Lan".

I also taught Mao Lilan how to pronounce Chinese.

Suzuki Sonoko also quickly asked, "Ms. Qinglan, what about me? How do you pronounce my name in Chinese?"

Pu Siqinglan said: "Suzuki Meatballs."

"Pfft——!"

All the milk tea in Bai Ye's mouth sprayed out, and blood was coming out of his nostrils.

But Conan, who was next to Bai Ye, was in a miserable situation.

He rolled his dead eyes and glared at Bai Ye - an expression that said, "If you don't give me an explanation today, I will die together with you."

"Hahaha, sorry, I just remembered something happy."

"What happy thing?"

"My wife is having a baby."

Conan: "..."

It’s not that Bai Ye has a low sense of humor, but Pu Si Qinglan, the "Suzuki Meatball", really hit Bai Ye’s funny spot.

It can be seen that Pu Siqinglan has put some effort into learning Chinese and Mandarin, but he obviously did not pass the test. Any ordinary Chinese person she meets can tell in just two sentences that she is a foreigner who has not lived in China for much.

At this time.

A drizzle fell from the sky.

Hattori Heiji reached out to catch the raindrops and wondered:

"The weather report clearly said it would be sunny today, so why is it raining?"

"What did you say?"

Conan was wiping the milk tea primer off his body and didn't hear clearly, so he asked.

Suddenly, Hattori Heiji was struck by lightning and remembered something. He quickly said, "Kudo! The glowing sky tower is not the castle tower, but Tsutenkaku! It's Tsutenkaku!"

"Tongtenkaku?"

Conan was stunned.

Hattori Heiji explained: "The top of Tsutenkaku is used to predict the weather. It is the only place that will glow at night."
