Chapter 1391 1391 [Okiya Subaru, are you coming to be a younger brother]

There is a wooden coffin in the center of the hall with a huge lock hanging on it, and some burning candles are placed in the lampstands on both sides.

There is only one flashlight for lighting, which is a bit shabby.

Jiang Xia took out the lighter and lit the candles on both sides.

The dim candle light danced, and the passage and the wooden coffin were dyed with a faint yellow, and the environment became very atmospheric. Jiang Xia nodded in satisfaction.

The warm light dispelled the darkness, and Kasaka Natsumi finally came back to her senses. She carefully stepped up the steps and came to the wooden coffin, as if she had guessed something, her heartbeat became violent.

"This lock is really big." The "White Bird Police Department" weighed the lock and looked at the keyhole.

But before he took out the lockpicking tool, Jiang Xia turned to look at Kasaka Natsumi: "You took it out with the blueprint, it seems that you have a key?"

"Ah, yes!" Kasaka Natsumi recovered, hurriedly opened the bag, and took out a huge key.

Kidd: ""

Forget it, try again later.

He stepped aside nonchalantly and helped Kasaka Natsumi light up with a flashlight, looking like a normal good policeman.

Kasaka Natsumi picked up the lock, put in the key and turned it, the lock was opened with a click.

She herself was a little surprised: "It turned out to be the key here."

"Can you open the coffin and take a look?"

Although he lifted the coffin without authorization, it seemed rude to the deceased. But now they have no idea what's inside, maybe it's just an empty coffin.

Kasaka Natsumi nodded: "I'm sorry to bother you."

Jiang Xia was the closest, he walked over, looked at the heavy dusty coffin lid, and suddenly missed the vodka in the distance.

Jiang Xia: "..." It's really nice to have a younger brother, for example, it can come in handy at times like this... Unfortunately, Matsuda Jinping already has the status of "Wuzuo", so it's fine to use it to take the blame, but it's usually not easy to bring it out as an opener. Coffin coolie. It would be nice to have one more "assistant" on the surface.

Although he borrowed vodka as an assistant, this guy's identity is obviously not visible. He can only trick him out occasionally to squeeze a squeeze of ice cream, and it is impossible to form a team every day.

Thinking about it, a face suddenly appeared in Jiang Xia's mind: squinting eyes, light-colored hair, and some overlap with the professional field of vodkthe all-round graduate student whose physique is gradually awakening, Okiya Subaru.

Jiangxia: "..." Unfortunately, this person has already hooked up with Akai Shuichi.

But after thinking about it, I don't pay attention to the first come, first served. And doesn't Akai Shuichi already have a loyal fbi younger brother? This graduate student should not be of much use with him...

While secretly distracted, he and the people next to him lifted the coffin lid forcefully and pushed it aside.

The flashlight shines in, reflecting a skeleton lying quietly in the coffin.

The skeleton is dressed in rotting clothing. After a hundred years, the people and fabrics are as old as a handful of dirt. Only the position of the skeleton's chest is dazzling - there is a red, gem-encrusted Easter egg, and the Suzuki's. That egg is very similar.

"The egg of memory! Another egg of memory on the blueprint!"

The ambassador was excited for a while, followed by what he remembered, looked at the corpse, and asked Kasaka Natsumi: "This is your great-grandfather?"

Kasaka Natsumi shook his head: "It should be my great-grandmother-Yokosuka's family cemetery, only the remains of my great-grandfather. Maybe because the great-grandmother was a foreigner, she was not buried in the family's cemetery. I also wondered about the great-grandmother's body. Where did the body go, I didn't expect..." It has been hidden under the castle.

She stretched out her hand and carefully picked up the "egg of memory" on the chest of the corpse.

Easter egg shells are decorated with rose-shaped gemstones and inlaid with golden branches, which are very gorgeous.

But the moment he picked it up, Kasaka Natsumi was slightly taken abackcompared to the simple "egg of memory" of the Suzuki family, although this egg is a bit bigger, it seems to be much lighter.

Jiang Xia took the egg in her hand, lifted the top half, and looked inside.

The art dealer and the ambassador also came over and looked inside excitedly.

and then froze.

There is nothing inside the easter egg.

This egg, which was carefully hidden in the underground coffin, was actually just an empty eggshell.

"In another egg of memory, there is a golden statue of the emperor's family. How can this be so empty? Could it be that in order to build the castle, that egg was sold for the gems on the shell, and this one was sold for the golden statue inside. ?" The art dealer slapped his thigh in pain, "Why don't you just sell the whole one! At least both of them are complete, so I can..."

Jiang Xia was so upset by him that he stepped back and interrupted politely: "The two eggs are one big and one small, the big one has a groove at the bottom, maybe there is nothing in it, it was designed to be Russian Matryoshka form."

"Matryoshka?" The art dealer was a little far away from his childhood, and it took a few seconds to remember, "Is it the kind of wooden dolls that hide smaller toys inside after they are opened?"

Jiang Xia nodded.

The ambassador also understood, he pointed to the bottom of the eggshell: "So the groove here is not because the original thing was taken away, but it was pre-carved to put another egg?...Unfortunately, The egg is not there, otherwise we can combine it and see what effect it has."

Next to , the "White Bird Police Department" suddenly laughed when he heard these words.

"I've long thought that there might be such a thing, so..." He reached into his bag and took out an egg naturally, "I asked Chairman Suzuki to borrow it."

Jiang Xia turned to look at him, thought about it, and showed a little suspicious look.

Almost at the same time, Conan's eyes also fell on the "White Bird Police Department": "..." I had expected this kind of thing... Could the White Bird Police Department have such a foresight?

Either the police department wants to play the "egg of memory", or...

Conan suddenly remembered the missing Kid.

If Kidd was really tricked by the "Shi Kao Bing" the night before and fell from the air, then he certainly wouldn't have been defeated like this.

Perhaps at this time, not only the unknown "Shi Kao soldier", but also Kidd, who is good at disguising, mixed in the crowd.

Thinking of this, Conan subconsciously looked up at Jiang Xia.

I saw Jiang Xia was looking at the "White Bird Police Department" meaningfully, as if he was suspicious of him.

This made Conan more confident in his judgment. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy, and wanted Jiang Xia to grab the face of the "White Bird Police Department" to see if there was a layer of disguise on it. Of course, he actually wanted to solve the mystery himself, but unfortunately there was a difference in height. , out of reach of the face of the "White Bird Police Department".
