Model worker and his little darling

He silently returned behind the group, whose attention was focused on the exquisite decorations. No one noticed that Ping Qing had left and then returned, except for Kuroba Kaito, who was disguised as Officer Shiratori.

As they walked, they arrived at the room of Natsumi Kosaka's great-grandfather.

“Hey, this man is Rasputin, and it even has his signature on it.”

Upon hearing the Russian clerk's words, Xiao Lan asked curiously, "Dad, who is Rasputin?"

Uncle Mori stroked his chin. "Well, all I know about him is that he's a big bad guy."

"He was also known as the sorcerer Rasputin, and he was also the culprit who caused the downfall of the Romanov dynasty. After he was killed, one of his eyes was gouged out."

Seeing Pu Siqinglan clench and unclench her fists, Ping Qing shook his head. "Words can be dangerous."

At that moment, Uncle Mori lit a cigarette.

The trail of smoke alerted Conan to something amiss, so he stepped forward and took the cigarette from Uncle Mori's hand, saying, "Uncle, can I borrow it for a moment?"

After groping around in the smoke, they discovered, "There's a breeze blowing up from below; there's a secret basement down there!"

Seeing this, Ran brought over an ashtray, and Conan skillfully extinguished his cigarette without saying a word.

At this moment, Conan was so engrossed in solving the mystery that he ignored Ran's meaningful gaze.

"found it."

Looking at the password input device that Conan found, the group tried the Russian word for "recollection" and the name of Natsumi Kosaka's great-grandfather, but there was no response.

Finally, Conan remembered the phrase from Natsumi Kosaka's memory, which translates to "The Magician of the End of the Century!"

After a loud noise, a huge underground space appeared before everyone's eyes.

The group entered the tunnel when suddenly a voice came from inside. Without saying a word, Conan ran into the darkness.

Seeing that Xiaolan wanted to go too, Officer Shiratori stopped the worried Xiaolan, saying, "I'll go, everyone stay here for now."

After waiting for a while, Conan returned with a group of children from the Junior Detective Team.

The two groups successfully met up and continued their journey.

Soon, a wall blocked their way, and the tunnel seemed to have come to an end.

On the wall is painted a double-headed eagle, symbolizing an emperor, with a jeweled crown against a backdrop of the sun.

After thinking for a moment, Conan's eyes lit up. "Officer Shiratori, please use your flashlight to focus the light on the two-headed eagle's crown."

A miraculous thing happened: under the light, the crown suddenly shone brightly, and the ground made a loud noise. An entrance to an underground palace suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

After the candlesticks were lit, the outline of the underground palace gradually became clear.

"It looks like a coffin."

"It has a Western-style design and a lock."

After examining the large lock on the coffin, Conan turned to Natsumi Kosaka and said, "Miss Natsumi, it's that key."

The key was indeed suitable, and after obtaining Natsumi Kosaka's consent, Uncle Mori prepared to open the coffin.

Looking at the coffin in the center, Ping Qing's thoughts began to wander. It was supposed to be a world of Detective Conan, but somehow it had turned into a tomb raiding drama.

The Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Death is Coming!

Could it be that the one inside will come back to life soon?

Hearing the uncle's exclamation, Pingqing came to her senses and looked into the coffin.

Inside the exquisite coffin was a skeleton, and on the skeleton's chest lay an Egg of Memory.

At this moment, the Russian clerk stepped forward. "Miss Xia Mei, perhaps the timing is not right, but may I see the egg?"

Natsumi Kosaka carefully took out the egg and handed it over.

The Memory Egg, which was buried with the deceased, had a small hole at the bottom. It was empty inside, which surprised everyone.

"This must be a combination type. I have a doll at home that my dad's friend bought for me from Russia. It has a smaller doll inside it."

This annoyed Uncle Mori. "Damn it, if only I had that egg."

“Yes, there is that egg! I knew I would need it, so I borrowed it from Chairman Suzuki.” He then took out an Egg of Memories.

Uncle Mori was a little suspicious, "You didn't take it secretly, did you?"

"Seriously, how is that possible?"

Conan looked at the two eggs placed together, feeling there was something fishy going on. Then, remembering the glass on both eggs and the crown-shaped light meter at the entrance to the underground palace, Conan suddenly realized what was going on.

"Officer Shiratori, put the flashlight inside the station. Everyone, blow out the candles now."

Immediately afterwards, Conan placed the egg on the flashlight.

A magical thing happened: the two eggs became transparent. The light from the flashlight shone through the small hole at the bottom, filling the inside of the eggs. The sculpture inside the eggs slowly rose, and the light collided repeatedly inside the eggs, finally refracting out through the largest piece of glass at the top.

Images were printed on the surrounding walls, depicting the contents of the book held by the emperor in the sculpture.

An album containing photos of Nicholas II and his family.

Everyone was amazed by this ingenious idea and exclaimed in admiration.

"Hey, where did Mr. Qianjiang go?"

Upon hearing Conan's words, Hirai raised an eyebrow. Conan, who was engrossed in solving the mystery, finally realized that the head was not right.

Just then, a beam of laser light was aimed at Mori. Seeing that his father-in-law was completely unaware, Conan threw his flashlight at him.

"Danger!"

Uncle Mori successfully dodged the bullets, but Ran picked up the flashlight, revealing her location.

"Don't pick it up, Lan!"

Conan immediately tackled Ran, successfully avoiding the incoming bullet.

Amidst the chaos, Natsumi Kosaka fell to the ground, and the Egg of Memories was picked up by someone.

Conan and Officer Shiratori gave chase, and Hirai helped Natsumi Kosaka up.

Suddenly, a cloud of smoke dissipated, and everyone fell into a coma.

After everyone was lying on the ground, Pingqing appeared in one of the rooms upstairs. After rummaging around for a bit, he got what he wanted.

Tsk, these rich people always like to build secret rooms and hidden passages in their homes. I wonder how many good things they can hide there.

Just then, as Scorpion was preparing to leave the castle—

"Wait a minute, do you want to escape alone?"

“I already know your identity. You pretend to be Chinese, but you are actually Russian. You are a descendant of the sorcerer Rasputin, Miss Qinglan.”

Conan, hiding in the shadows, played with his voice changer. "At first I didn't notice, but the different combinations of Pu Si Qing Lan turned into Rasputin. The reason for the attack on the right eye was to commemorate the ancestors who were brutally murdered."

Conan deduced the truth while dodging and weaving, causing all of Urako Seiran's bullets to miss.

Having calculated that he had run out of bullets, Conan calmly stepped forward and faced the dark muzzle of Urako Aoran's gun.

"It's just me, this voice changer can transform into anyone's voice."

"who are you?"

"Edogawa Conan is a detective!"

Knowing that Conan was the only child, Urako Seiran regained her composure, "Poor brat, you're going to die too."

"That gun is a PPKS, which can only hold eight bullets. Your gun is out of bullets now."

Pu Siqinglan smiled and said, "If there are already bullets in the chamber, you can load eight more bullets to make a total of nine bullets."

"Then, go ahead and shoot," Conan challenged.

So, Urako Seiran aimed at Conan's right eye, preparing to deliver the final blow.

"boom--"
