There's a lock on the coffin!

Upon seeing this, a flash of white light appeared in Conan's mind. "Miss Natsumi, that key!"

"I see!"

Natsumi Kosaka took out the old gold key from her bag and inserted it into the lock.

With a click, the lock was opened.

After the coffin was opened, its contents were revealed to everyone.

A body that had decomposed to the point of being nothing but bones, with an egg, similar to the Egg of Memories, placed on its chest.

"Miss Xia Mei, is the body your great-grandfather?"

“No, I think this should be my great-grandmother. The Yokosuka cemetery only has my great-grandfather's grave, which I've always found incredible… Maybe it's because she was Russian, so she couldn't be buried in the graves of her grandfathers…”

The Russian clerk spoke up, "Miss Xia Mei, although the timing may not be right, could you please let me see the egg?"

“Okay.” Natsumi Kosaka handed over the egg.

This egg is similar to the Egg of Memories, with an oval shell, gorgeous patterns, and gemstone embellishments.

He opened the egg, only to find it empty!

"How is this going?"

"Don't be nervous, everyone. I wonder if any of you have ever played with a toy called a Russian nesting doll?"

At this moment, Asakawa Yu spoke, and everyone's attention was drawn to him.

"Russian nesting dolls? I know, those toys where you put a smaller doll inside a larger one, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Akemi Miyano shared her thoughts.

“That’s right.” Asakawa Yu nodded in agreement.

"I see. That makes sense. You see, the grooves here are for fixing."

"Damn it, if only we had that egg!" Kogoro Mouri clenched his fists, looking indignant.

"There is that egg."

!!!

Officer Shiratori opened his bag and took out another Egg of Memory. "I knew I might need it, so I borrowed it from Chairman Suzuki in advance."

Kogoro Mouri stepped closer to him. "Hey, you didn't steal this, did you?"

The phantom thief, disguised as Inspector Shiratori, had a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead. "How...how is this possible!"

Asakawa Yu's lips twitched. He knew that this was definitely something that Phantom Thief Kid had secretly taken. As for his claim of 'borrowing' it, only a fool would believe that.

[I mean...could this Officer Shiratori actually be Kaito Kid?]

[That's quite possible. I've always felt that Officer Shiratori is a bit strange.]

[No need to guess anymore, I've already seen it, this guy is Kaito Kid!]

[Can spoiler dogs just die?!]

"Then let's give it a try right away."

After receiving the egg, the Russian clerk placed it inside another egg that had just been taken from the coffin.

Sure enough, the two eggs were sewn together perfectly, becoming one seamless whole.

"So Mr. Kiichi didn't make two eggs, but rather split one egg in two." Kogoro Mouri examined the egg carefully and found that there seemed to be nothing special about it.

"Do you still have any questions?" Ai Haibara asked, glancing at Conan who was still deep in thought beside her.

"Yes, I always felt that this egg should have some kind of mechanism, and a mechanism suitable for a magician at the end of the century." Clearly, Conan did not think that this egg was as simple as it appeared on the surface.

"Oh, really? Then why don't you ask that person? I'm sure he'd be happy to share his thoughts with you."

As she spoke, Ai Haibara glanced in Asakawa Hayao's direction, a sight that made Conan's eyelids twitch.

"I...I won't ask. A detective is someone who thinks for themselves!" Conan was on the verge of breaking down, probably because of Ai Haibara's indirect mockery.

"I see. Well, you'd better keep trying. That guy might already know." After saying that, Ai Haibara looked at Conan with a smile.

"I...I'm already thinking about it! I'll figure it out soon!"

Glass...glass...Recalling the mechanism he had encountered earlier, a flash of white light suddenly appeared in Conan's mind.

"That's right! If I'm not mistaken..."

After thinking of something, Conan's lips curled into a slight smile. "Mr. Cel, can I borrow your egg?"

Conan snatched the Egg of Memory from the others and ran to the platform with it.

"Hey! You brat!" Kogoro Mouri was furious and wanted to teach him a lesson, but Kaito Kid stopped him, fearing that he would ruin Conan's plans.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Kaito Kid asked Conan while stopping Mori.

"Get the flashlights ready!"

"Ok."

Seeing Conan's posture, the people around him were completely confused, and Asakawa Yu and the others were also terrified.

It has to be you, Shinichi Kudo. You're so bold under the noses of so many people. It's amazing that you've survived this long without your identity being exposed. Asakawa Yu could only sigh, "As expected of the protagonist."

Next, at Conan's instruction, Kaito Kid placed the flashlight in the middle of the table. "What's next?"

"Please turn off the other lights."

Everyone did as instructed, and the entire cave instantly became pitch black, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

"What are you trying to do?!" Kogoro Mouri was very annoyed by Conan's behavior, but surprisingly, he didn't step forward to stop him.

"Just you wait and see."

Conan placed the Egg of Memories into the center of the table, and the egg in front of him suddenly became bright and transparent.

"So...so awesome!"

"This is so amazing!" Even Asakawa Yu couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the scene before her.

Then, the emperor began to turn the pages of the book in his hands, and the light, refracted through the glass, extended all the way, causing the wall at the top to emit a dazzling light.

"This...this is...a photograph of Emperor Nicholas and his family!"

"So the emperor's family inside the egg wasn't reading books, but rather looking at a photo album!"

"I see, that's why it's called the Egg of Memories..."

Conan and the others stared at the photograph at the top, and at that moment, all the mysteries were suddenly clear.

Even Asakawa Yu was so captivated by the scene before him that he didn't notice someone slipping in at that moment.

Give me the egg!

In the darkness, Scrooge held a dagger and was holding Ayumi hostage. The sharp blade was pressed against Ayumi's neck. If she exerted any force, the little girl in her hand would instantly lose her life!

"Did you hear me? Give me the egg!"
