"Let me introduce these people to you first."

There were four other guests in the president's room.

Shiro Suzuki walked up to a burly man with light blond hair and introduced him, "This is the first secretary of the Russian Embassy, ​​Siruov Chinikov."

"The man next to him is the art dealer I found, Mr. Qian Jiangyi." A middle-aged mixed-race Japanese man with a hooked nose.

"This is Mr. Ryu Kamikawa, a freelance video writer who has applied to film the treasures." A man with medium-long hair holding a camera with an uninhibited and casual look.

"The last one is Pu Siqinglan, a researcher on the Romanov dynasty."

Pu Siqinglan, who was introduced last, was the only one who stood up.

She nodded to them and said in accented Chinese, "Hello."

Lin Jiashu still had a smile on his face.

He was very interested in Pu Siqinglan - of course, not because of her beauty.

This woman is actually a killer wanted by Interpol with the code name "Scottib". She is extremely accurate with a gun and has a habit of shooting at her target's right eye.

Not only can she accurately snipe Kaito Kidd who is gliding in the night sky in the dark, she can even easily aim at Conan's right eye with a pistol. In Lin Jiashu's view, this is an independent third party with no black or red background and a killer with considerable ability.

But what’s interesting is that the English code name of Scorpion is Scorpion, which means "scorpion". I don’t know if it has any connection with the organization in the zoo.

Chapter 141: If you keep talking, I'll get goosebumps

The four people in the conference room actually came here to obtain the Egg of Memory.

However, even though the art dealer Qian Jiangyi raised the price to 800 million, Suzuki Shiro remained unmoved. Then the four of them were asked to leave the president's office by Suzuki Shiro on the pretext of discussing it later.

After Hayashi Yoshiki and his group sat down, Suzuki Shiro immediately asked his secretary to bring the Egg of Memories for everyone to appreciate.

It is indeed an extremely beautiful work of art.

"This egg is recorded in the imperial documents. It is translated as the Egg of Memory, but it was translated from Russian into English."

"In Russian it's Mospomena Nier, which means memory."

Shiro Suzuki took out a book and explained to everyone.

Inside the opened Egg of Memory is a model of Emperor Nicola's family. The man is flipping through a book, and beside him are his wife and lively and cheerful daughters.

Conan looked at the model and couldn't help asking, "Why does reading a book represent memories?"

"Stupid! Doesn't the emperor calling the children over to read together represent their good memories?" Kogoro Mouri glanced at Conan and said.

"Perhaps the emperor is flipping through a photo album."

Lin Jiashu said this with a smile, and pointed to the glittering part inside the shell of the Egg of Memory: "Are these gems?"

"No, it's just glass."

"Eh? But this is a gift from the Emperor to the Empress. Isn't it strange that it's glass instead of gemstones?"

"But when the 51st egg was being made, Russia was reportedly in financial trouble... Perhaps that was the reason."

Shiro Suzuki answered Conan's questions.

"Even stranger than this is Kaito Kid's announcement letter," Hattori Heiji said, rubbing his chin. "The glowing sky loft...why is Osaka Castle glowing?"

Although it has been a few days, there are still many parts in the preview letter of Kaito Kid that have not been deciphered.

【The lion at dusk until the maiden at dawn】

[The clock without a second hand reaches the 12th word]

[Descend from the bright sky tower and receive the egg of memory]

【--The Magician Kaito Kidd at the End of the World】

Conan was also lost in thought.

But after a moment, he couldn't help but look at Hayashi Yoshiki - the other party was leisurely admiring the Egg of Memory on the table, and asked Suzuki Shiro if he could take a photo. It seemed that he didn't care about the secret code at all.

At this time, Ginzo Nakamori and a police captain from Osaka walked in.

After a conversation, a group of people were successfully misled by Kogoro Mouri into believing that the so-called 12th word refers to the 12th letter of the English alphabet, L, which means that Kaito Kidd will appear at 3 am.

The Sky Tower is naturally speculated to be the Osaka Castle.

Conan's mouth twitched, and then he pretended to look at Lin Jiashu with an innocent expression: "Hey, Brother Jiashu! You should have figured out the code, right?"

Hattori Heiji paused.

He looked at Conan with surprise: Brother, are you also good at deciphering codes?

Conan replied with a look of regret: It’s scary

"Well, maybe 7:20 in the evening."

"What!?"

"'The lion at dusk, the maiden at dawn,' the twelfth syllable, '乀,' means 7:20 on the clock. Besides the castle tower, there's also the Tsutenkaku, right? Apparently, the top of that tower is used to predict weather conditions."

"..."

"Of course, I don't know if what I said is correct, but the time difference from 3 a.m. is quite large. Even if my guess is wrong, it won't affect the protective measures at 3 a.m.."

Facing the group of people with their mouths wide open, Lin Jiashu said with a smile.

Because of their previous collaboration on the Sally Beth, Nakamori Ginzo was quite kind to Hayashi Yoshiki... Especially since his negligence had allowed Kaito Kid to escape, he felt quite guilty about it. So, after hearing Hayashi Yoshiki's explanation, he said politely, "Okay! Then we'll arrange for police to guard Tsutenkaku at 7:20! We must capture Kaito Kid!!!"

"Great!! As expected of Mr. Lin!"

Shiro Suzuki also stood up and cheered.

Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other and saw frustration in each other's eyes.

Later, in order to prevent the Egg of Memories from being placed too conspicuously in the art museum and being obtained by Kaito Kid, Ginzo Nakamori proposed to secretly move the artwork to an inconspicuous place, and this plan was also approved by Shiro Suzuki.

But that's for the police to do.

Hayashi Yoshiki and Hattori Heiji left the president's office together.

When everyone was suggesting where to go for fun, Lin Jiashu's phone suddenly rang.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to answer a phone call."

He walked to the bathroom while answering the call.

"I say, why do you always cheat me?!"

"Because I received the commission."

Listening to the voice of Kuroba Kaito coming from the other end of the phone, Lin Jiashu smiled.

Kuroba Kaito immediately let out a "Tsk!"

--After what happened at the last magician enthusiasts' gathering, he no longer had much hope that his secret code could be hidden from Lin Jiashu.

But he was not very happy to give in so easily.

"Have you guessed where I am now?"

"Hmm..." Lin Jiashu looked back, "You just came out from President Suzuki's place, right? Luckily you left early, because Officer Nakamori is already picking on the people around him."

"..."

"Why are you silent?"

"..."

"Thinking about the situation you'll face tonight, do you feel it's a pity? You were holding the Egg of Memory in your hand just now."

Lin Jiashu paused at this point, then continued, "No, that's not right. You've always been interested in jewelry, but now you're suddenly interested in non-jewelry art. And you even specifically signed the invitation with the words 'magician of the end of the century'... So, you're not really interested in this stuff, and you have another reason?"

"Ah! I'm going to get goosebumps if you keep talking!"

Kaito Kidd hung up the phone after saying this.

Lin Jiashu smiled and put away his phone.

--This guy just disguised himself as Suzuki Shiro's secretary and personally brought the Egg of Memories out of the safe and presented it to everyone.

This is also the reason why he was the first to know that the Egg of Memory was secretly transferred in the original work.

Lin Jiashu returned to everyone.

"Brother Jiashu, Hattori and Kazuha said they want to take us to a special temple to pray for blessings. Do you want to go with us?"

"Okay."

Looking at the expectant eyes of several people, Lin Jiashu had no objection.

Anyway, he has nothing to do at the moment.

And it was not until then that he suddenly remembered a detail, that is, the results of various divinations in this world seemed to be particularly effective.

Chapter 142: Strange Fortune Telling

"Oh, I drew a lucky number!"

Namba Hotei Shrine

This is one of the famous shrines in Osaka, famous for its functions of attracting wealth, warding off disasters and praying for blessings.

When everyone got the lottery tickets and opened them, Xiaolan immediately made a sound of surprise.

"What a blessing."

"Let me see. Let me see."

Toyama Kazuha and Suzuki Sonoko both came close to Xiaolan and wanted to take a look at the fortune.

"The fortune says that wonderful things will happen on this trip."

"Wow, isn't this like traveling now? So accurate."

"Yes, the shrine here is famous for its efficacy."

After Toyama Kazuha, a local, gave their stamp of approval, Xiaolan and Sonoko were suddenly a little excited.

Girls of this age really like to read tarot cards and fortune-telling, right?

But is it known for its efficacy?

Lin Jiashu looked at the signature in his hand, which was probably different from everyone else's, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Important times are already in chaos,"

"Fortunately, you are still trustworthy in the eyes of others."

"Under the writings that brew death,"

"Even though the red eyes that bring death remain closed,

"Your superiority remains unshaken."

"Enjoy this intermission,"

"The black spider web has been woven,"

"The crows haven't even begun to spread their wings and flee."

The fortune says it's a bad omen.

After just taking a quick look and writing it all down, Hayashi Yoshiki looked up and saw Hattori Heiji approaching.

"So, what did you get, little brother?"

"I got Xiaoji. It says that if you are proactive, you might get good results."

Lin Jiashu said with a smile.

"That's not bad."

Hattori Heiji pinched his chin.

After hearing what Lin Jiashu said, Xiaolan and others certainly didn't come over to look at the fortune. Then everyone discussed how to pass the time.
