After confirming that everyone was present, Natsumi Kosaka and the butler smiled and led everyone into the castle.

The castle built in the last century has an artistic style that is completely different from modern architecture. In the many halls of the castle, various exquisite reliefs and portraits are genuine works of art... From this perspective, Natsumi Kosaka is indeed a wealthy woman with an extremely rich fortune.

Art dealer Qian Jiangyi observed the whole process and then sneaked into the painting studio under the pretext of going to the restroom. When he found the hidden small vault, pried open the lock and tried to steal, he was caught on the spot by the anti-theft mechanism.

When everyone followed the sound, they saw Qian Jiangyi being handcuffed in an ugly manner, with a professional lock-picking toolbox next to him.

Click--

"The evidence has been photographed."

"What Mr. Qian is doing now can probably be called burglary."

"Those who steal public or private property of an especially large amount may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and may also be fined."

"My aunt is a very good lawyer."

"With all the evidence in this situation, it shouldn't be a problem to get the maximum punishment possible... Miss Xia Mei, you can consider it."

Lin Jiashu smiled and handed a business card to Kosaka Natsumi.

The latter took over subconsciously.

"This, this is just a misunderstanding!"

When General Qian heard this, his whole body trembled. He didn't want to go to jail!

"What's the point of saying this now? Adults should understand what they can and shouldn't do."

Kogoro Maori snorted.

Then everyone left him for the time being and went to the study, where they finally found the entrance to the basement.

The journey was smooth.

Without the threat posed by the Scott soldiers, everyone quickly reached the deepest part of the basement, where they saw the coffin of Natsumi Kosaka's great-grandmother and found another red egg of memory inside.

The exterior of the Egg of Memory is inlaid with numerous gemstones and has particularly gorgeous patterns. Everyone marveled at the beauty of this work of art when they discovered it, but when they opened the interior of the Egg of Memory, they found that it was actually empty.

“Empty!?”

“How could this be—!”

“It’s empty indeed.”

"what?"

When they heard Hayashi Yoshiki speak, Kogoro Mori and the Russian ambassador holding the Egg of Memories turned around in astonishment.

Conan also looked surprised.

Lin Jiashu smiled. "Actually, I've been speculating since I saw the mismatched outlines of the two Memory Eggs in the drawings Ms. Xia Mei showed me... Two Memory Eggs of different sizes, with the special glass underneath, I wonder if they're like Russian nesting dolls."

".....Russian dolls"

"It's really possible. There are grooves inside this Egg of Memory for fixing it!" The Russian ambassador spoke immediately.

"Damn it, but where can I get that egg now?"

"I have that egg with me."

At this moment, Yuanzi suddenly raised her hand to express her opinion.

"Yuanzi?" Xiaolan looked at her in surprise.

"Because Brother Jiashu sent me a message about it, I brought the egg here. He really is Brother Jiashu."

Sonoko happily took out another egg of memories from her bag.

Her casual movement made it seem as if she was holding a Kinder Surprise Egg instead of an Egg of Memories. In contrast, the Russian ambassador was very cautious in taking it.

The green memory egg fits neatly into the red memory egg.

Then, when light penetrated through the glass at the bottom of the Egg of Memory and was refracted by the many gems and glass inside, the top of the Egg of Memory emitted a bright light that was projected onto the surrounding walls - that was a photo of Emperor Nicholas and his family.

This special photo amazed everyone and put Natsumi Kosaka into a trance - this was the first time she saw what her great-grandmother looked like.

"That's why the Egg of Memory is named 'Memory'. What an incredible mechanism! Mr. Kosaka Kiichi truly deserves to be called a magus of the fin de siècle."

"...If my great-grandfather heard such an evaluation, he would definitely be very happy."

Pursing her lips slightly, Natsumi Kosaka smiled at Hayashi Yoshiki.

Also shocked by this scene was Russian Ambassador Siluofu Chitnikov. After a moment of silence, he made a decision that surprised everyone: "Russia will give up the ownership of this Egg of Memory, Ms. Kosaka Natsumi. It will be more valuable in your hands."

"Thank you...but the egg here is Suzuki--"

"Leave it to me to talk to my dad about this."

Sonoko patted Kosaka Natsumi's shoulder with a smile and said, "The Russian gentleman is right. No one is more qualified to hold this egg than Miss Natsumi."

"...Thank you, Sonoko."

Now everyone is happy.

Pu Siqinglan stood by the side throughout the whole process without any objection. She even clapped her hands gently, feeling happy for Kosaka Natsumi.

Then everyone evacuated the underground of the castle.

When they came out, they happened to meet the police coming to take Qian Jiang away - it was Professor Agasa who had just notified the police outside. And it was for this reason that the children of the Junior Detective League did not rashly run into the basement through the secret passage.

The matter came to an end and everyone got in their own cars and left one after another.

"I have to take Miss Qinglan home first. We'll meet again later, everyone."

"Okay, Jiashu, please drive carefully on the road."

After saying goodbye to Xiaolan and the others, Lin Jiashu stepped on the accelerator.

The silver car quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Pu Siqinglan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, lowered the makeup mirror above her head. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled charmingly: "So what are we going to do now, Mr. Lin?"

"How about grilled fish?"

"...Can you please stop talking to me about fish all the time?"

The expression on Pu Siqinglan's face fell, and she reached out to take off the mask on her face, revealing a handsome young face.

Lin Jiashu glanced at him, then took out his cell phone and took many photos in a row.

Kuroba Kaito was stunned.

"what are you doing?"

"No, I just think it's interesting to see you wearing a cheongsam with your legs exposed."

"Delete it for me!"

"Don't worry, I won't leak it. Even if it does leak out accidentally, I will ask the other party to keep it a secret for you."

“Delete it for me!!!”

Kuroba Kaito, who was wearing a cheongsam with his chest puffed out and a pair of long white legs exposed, started to go crazy when he heard this. He didn't care that they were in the car and tried to snatch the phone from Lin Jiashu.

However, it failed.

Lin Jiashu held him down with one hand as he tried to move closer, saying, "This is good news for you, too."

"what!?"

"With these photos in hand, I won't have to threaten you with your fear of fish next time."

"Don't go too far, Lin Jiashu!!!"

Kuroba Kaito instantly stood up like a cat splashed with water.

Lin Jiashu just smiled.

"By the way, what do you think of Mr. Qian Jiangyi's fate?"

"....cut!"

Kuroba Kaito did not give any response to the fate of the obsessed and money-hungry thief who had no technical skills.

Lin Jiashu drove him back to Jianggutian City.

During the process, Kuroba Kaito kept trying to steal Hayashi Yoshiki's phone and delete the photos, but Hayashi Yoshiki was always on guard against this thief with frequent tricks and did not let him succeed. In the end, Hayashi Yoshiki even sent the photos he took directly to his own email - now it would be useless even if Kuroba Kaito snatched the phone.

This bastard is not a human being!

He returned home cursing.

Then Lin Jiashu drove back to Beika Town. When he reached a similar location, he found a convenience store and planned to buy a bento first.

"Ah, Teacher Lin~!"

A sweet female voice came close to Lin Jiashu with surprise.

When he saw the owner of the voice, Lin Jiashu felt that he was quite lucky today.

"Good evening, Ms. Shimizu Reiko."

"Teacher Lin actually remembers me?"

"Of course, Ms. Shimizu left a very deep impression on me at the book signing event."

A gentle smile appeared on Lin Jiashu's delicate face. His voice lowered, his eyes fixed on Shimizu Reiko's face. "At that time, there were so many people watching the book signing, and I always felt it was a pity that I didn't ask for Ms. Shimizu's contact information."

“…Is that so?”

Reiko Shimizu acted a little shy.

Then she happily exchanged her contact information with Lin Jiashu.

And then here we are...

Because he had other things to do, Lin Jiashu did not invite her to have a cup of coffee, but bought the lunch box and drove away.

The woman who had shyly exchanged contact information with him just now turned around, and a bright smile appeared on her beautiful and pure face.

Reiko Shimizu is interested in crime.

She joined the Crime Research Club in college, and after graduation, she instigated her friends in the club to commit a robbery of an armored car... But these are too simple. It would be fun to get a more interesting crime plan from a well-known mystery novelist.

Lin Jiashu parked his car outside a house shortly afterwards.

He walked into the dark basement carrying his lunch box.

"Good evening, Miss Qinglan."

"..."

Pu Siqinglan, whose hands and feet were bound, looked up at him. When she saw Lin Jiashu, her eyes tightened and her whole body tensed up: "You have Spider's equipment on you, are you from that organization!?"

"Do you know that illusionist?"

When Lin Jiashu heard this, a happy expression appeared on his handsome face.

It's a really happy expression.

But those colorless dark eyes made Pu Siqinglan feel afraid.

"So you're really a member of that organization codenamed after poison? Scorpion, Scorpion... That's great news. I'm really lucky today."

"..."

Looking at the expression on his face, Pu Siqinglan subconsciously held her breath.

This man...is definitely an extremely dangerous guy.

It wasn't a problem with his skills or abilities, but his spirit and willpower... In those black eyes that were devoid of any emotion in that smile, there was a terrifying feeling that seemed to be able to devour people alive.
