The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 403: Finally Seeing the Egg of Memories

Two people took one side, and soon all the candlesticks in the room were lit.

The candlelight on both sides swayed gently with the slight breeze in the basement, seeming to add a bit of warmth to the environment here.

They are like eternal lights that keep vigil for the dead and never go out.

"There is a coffin here."

Kogoro Mori looked at the coffin in the center of the room and said to Hakuba Matsu.

"Ah."

Bai Masong nodded slightly, then looked at Kosaka Natsumi who had just caught up with them.

"Ms. Xia Mei, the one enshrined here should be your great-grandmother."

"Eh?"

Maori Kogoro wondered,

"How do you know that the person inside is Miss Xia Mei's great-grandmother? Shouldn't it be her great-grandfather?"

Listening to Maori Kogoro's words, Bai Basong explained calmly,

"The style of the rooms and coffins here is not the style of the island country."

"Also, although Miss Xia Mei's home has many photos of her great-grandfather, there are no photos of her great-grandmother, so I think it is more likely that her great-grandmother is buried here."

After Bai Basong finished speaking, Kosaka Natsumi also nodded slightly.

"Yes, Officer Bai Ma, you are right."

"My great-grandfather's remains were buried in our family cemetery, so these should be the remains of my great-grandmother."

"I think maybe my great-grandfather thought my great-grandmother was from Tsarist Russia, and the Kosaka family has always been conservative, so the elders of the family did not allow my great-grandmother to be buried together with my great-grandfather."

At this point, Natsumi Kosaka lowered her head slightly and couldn't help but sigh, as if she felt sorry for her great-grandmother.

"I do not think so."

Bai Basong shook his head slightly, denying what Kosaka Natsumi said.

"Eh?"

Natsumi Kosaka raised her head and looked at Baiba Song, as if she wanted to hear what Baiba Song had to say.

Bai Masong did not answer immediately, but pointed to the pattern on the coffin.

Natsumi Kosaka and Kogoro Mori immediately looked over and saw that there was actually a pattern on the top of the coffin.

Before, everyone was far away and hadn’t noticed it, and when they arrived in front of the coffin, they were lighting candles and having conversations, but they didn’t observe carefully.

At this moment, after taking a closer look, Kosaka Natsumi immediately discovered that what was carved on the top of the coffin was the symbol of the Russian royal family that everyone had seen on the bronze door before - the double-headed eagle!

After Kosaka Natsumi and Maori Kogoro saw the double-headed eagle pattern, Baiba Song slowly explained,

"As we all know, the double-headed eagle is the symbol of the Russian royal family, which symbolizes the Russian royal family."

"Mr. Kiichi is an islander. Even if he once worked for the royal family, he has never been a member of the royal family. He should not have returned to the island country for many years and still be obsessed with the Russian royal family."

"Moreover, he even built such a resting place for his wife."

"Even if he possesses ingenious mechanical devices, the amount of money required for such an underground space is difficult to estimate."

"So, there is only one possibility..."

Hakubamatsu didn't finish his words, but Maori Kogoro and Kosaka Natsumi already understood what Hakubamatsu meant.

The wife that Mr. Kiichi married in Tsarist Russia, who was also the great-grandmother of Natsumi Kosaka, had a very special identity and was very likely a member of the royal family of the Tsarist Russian Empire!

Natsumi Kosaka looked very shocked. This was the first time she had ever thought of such a statement. And now it seemed that this statement was very likely.

Kogoro Mouri smacked his lips, as if he had heard another secret!

While the few people were talking, "Shiratori Renzaburo" also came up.

He stroked the coffin and then the golden lock hanging on it.

My first reaction was that this gold lock was quite heavy.

He was about to say something to Kosaka Natsumi, but Kosaka Natsumi spoke first.

"Officer Shiratori, can you let me see that golden lock?"

"Oh, of course no problem, Miss Natsumi."

"Shiratori Renzaburo" quickly made way and said.

Natsumi Kosaka came forward, looked at the golden lock in front of her, thought for a moment, and took out a key from the handbag in her hand.

Everyone looked at the key that Natsumi Kosaka took out and frowned slightly.

Feeling everyone's gazes, Kosaka Natsumi hurriedly explained,

"This key is a key that has been passed down in our family. It is said that it was passed down from my great-grandfather."

"Now that I think about it, maybe this key is related to the Egg of Memory."

"I see."

Kogoro Mori nodded suddenly.

Then, Kosaka Natsumi carefully put the key into the golden lock...

"Inside!"

Kosaka Natsumi exclaimed excitedly.

Hearing her words, Maori Kogoro and Shiratori Jinzaburo blushed slightly and turned their heads away.

Bai Masong's expression remained unchanged and calm, but he was speechless in his heart.

He was really impressed by these two guys.

Besides, Kogoro Mori is a veteran of many battles, but you...

Ugh!

The world is in decline!

With a scream from Natsumi Kosaka, the golden lock was opened, and the only restraint on the coffin was gone.

Maori Kogoro had one hand on the coffin, but he still asked Kosaka Natsumi politely,

"Ms. Xia Mei, is this okay?"

Kosaka Natsumi nodded.

This was the purpose of everyone coming here. If she really didn't want to open the coffin, she wouldn't even unlock the golden lock.

Seeing this, Baimasong also went forward to lend a hand.

He exerted a little force with his hands and opened the coffin.

After the coffin was opened, the contents inside came into view - a skeleton with her hands clasped together lying quietly inside. The blanket under her body and the pillow under her head were both made of silk.

And between the corpse's clasped hands, was the egg of memories that everyone had been searching for.

This egg of memories is similar in shape and design to the one from the Suzuki family, but its exterior is made entirely of bright red, and its outline is also a circle larger than the one from the Suzuki family.

The skeleton was sleeping in a luxurious coffin with the egg of memories in its hands. This appearance undoubtedly made Bai Masong's previous statement more likely.

"There really is an egg of memories inside!"

Kogoro Maori sighed.

"Um,"

Kosaka Natsumi nodded slightly, looking at the egg of memories in front of her, she said softly,

“Thank you all for your help on this trip.”
