"Is it more lively when there are more people?" Natsumi Kosaka said with a smile. With the laughter of children in such a dark and damp passage, her depressed mood would become much better.

"But..." Kogoro Mouri sighed, didn't know what to say for a moment and then closed his mouth.

After they turned a corner, Shiratori Renzaburo, who was walking in the front, looked at a stone gate in front of them.

"Huh?!" The three little ones stopped singing and shouted at the same time when they saw the stone gate in front of them.

Everyone's steps paused again.

Maori Kogoro reached out and used his lighter to observe the front and said, "There is no way out."

"Did we take the wrong road?" said Kosaka Natsumi.

"It's unlikely. There should be only one road in this place." Shiratori Renzaburo turned his head and responded.

Conan looked at the stone gate in front of him and thought, this means there must be a mechanism in this place.

Xingchen and Huihara Ai were also looking up and down at the stone gate.

"Wow, so many birds." Ayumi exclaimed.

Shiratori Renzaburo waved the flashlight back and forth on the stone slab, trying to find the mechanism on it.

Then the light stopped on a two-headed bird wearing a crown in the middle.

"Strange, only the big bird has two heads." Mitsuhiko frowned and said in surprise.

"The double-headed eagle is the national emblem of Russia." Xingchen supported his right elbow with his left hand, clenched his right fist and placed it on his chin, then said after thinking for a while.

This reminded him of a joke: Roman orthodoxy in China.

"Yes, is that the sun behind the crown?" Conan nodded and murmured, "The sun, the light."

Just as Conan was talking to himself, Mao Lilan's eyes were fixed on Conan's back.

Xingchen, who was standing in front, didn't notice it either. He thought that the previous cover had freed Conan from suspicion.

What Xingchen probably didn't expect was that Conan started to make trouble again while he was away.

"Officer Shiratori, could you please use your flashlight to shine on the crown of the double-headed eagle now?" Conan rushed to the front and pointed at the double-headed eagle on the stone gate and said.

"Oh, um." Shiratori Renzaburo twisted the flashlight in his hand and focused the light on the crown of the double-headed eagle.

The light was concentrated on the crown, and the five gems above the crown successively emitted three kinds of light: purple, green, white, green, and purple. Finally, they gathered in the white gem in the middle, emitting dazzling light.

"It's glowing." Kogoro Mori said in disbelief, and suddenly the entire tunnel began to shake.

Everyone present looked around in panic, and those who didn't know would have thought that they were all going to be buried in a secret basement.

At the same time, a creaking sound was heard, and the floor where Conan was standing began to slowly drop downwards.

Just like an elevator.

Conan squatted down cautiously and observed his surroundings.

"Everyone, push it open quickly." Shiratori Renzaburo said after seeing the scene in front of him.

"So that's how it is. Mr. Kiichi really likes mechanisms." Xingchen said as he stood there looking at the spectacular scenery. He listened to Conan's general description when he came to the fork in the road.

Xingchen fixed his gaze on Shiratori Renzaburo, and seeing that his hands were not shaking, he smiled in his heart and thought, it seems that your flaw has been revealed, Kaito Kidd.

Inspector Megure said before that Inspector Shiratori's shooting skills are quite poor.

This means that his gun holding stability was very poor. He had been holding his hand for such a long time and the mechanisms around him were moving, causing vibrations all around.

The fact that he can still hold the flashlight so steadily in his hand already proves that the current 'Shiratori Renzaburo' is not the real Shiratori Police Officer.

"The entrance, I see." Shiratori Renzaburo stood steadily in front and said as he looked at the scene below.

"This crown is a brightness meter and combination." After saying this, Shiratori Renzaburo felt a vibration under his feet.

The floor cracked in the middle and Shiratori Renzaburo quickly retreated to the back.

I saw the floors on both sides cracked, revealing a staircase in the middle.

"Amazing." Xingchen murmured, and the others were also shocked and exclaimed in unison.

Shiratori Renzaburo shines his flashlight down to Conan below. Behind Conan is a door that has been sealed for a long time.

"Let's go, the egg is probably behind the door." Kogoro Mouri said as he walked down.

"Yeah." The others responded.

Several people went down the stairs and pushed open the door behind Conan.

Dust was raised instantly, causing Shiratori Jinsaburo and Mori Kogoro, who were walking in front, to cover their mouths and noses.

Then they came into a circular hall.

"It's like we are inside the egg." Ayumi said as she looked around.

"This is designed like half an egg." Xingchen looked up and said around. Then he shone the flashlight forward and saw a coffin. He thought, this can't be Mr. Xiyi's tomb.

Conan saw a pillar standing in the middle, and looked inside in confusion, wondering what this was, and there was a groove in the middle.

When Kogoro Maori saw the candles on both sides, he walked forward and lit them.

In an instant, the entire tomb lit up.

"This looks like a coffin." Shiratori Renzaburo said after walking to the coffin and observing it.

"It's a Western-style design, but it's made of wood." Maori Kogoro turned closer and saw the very eye-catching lock on the coffin and said, "This lock is really big."

"Ms. Natsumi, that key." Xingchen said, remembering the key that Natsumi Kosaka had taken out before.

Natsumi Kosaka also came to her senses and quickly took out the brass key from her bag and hurried forward.

Then she opened the lock on the coffin and Kosaka Natsumi murmured, "It's this key indeed."

Xingchen put his hands in his pockets, looked over there and thought, could it be that the person in the coffin is Mr. Xiyi himself?

"Can you open it, Miss Natsumi?" asked Kogoro Mouri.

After thinking for a while, Kosaka Natsumi nodded in agreement: "...Okay."

"That's offensive." Kogoro Mori nodded, then he lifted the coffin lid with difficulty. The sides of the coffin creaked like gears that had not been lubricated for years.

Moreover, because it is made of solid wood, the coffin lid is extremely heavy.

"It's so heavy." Kogoro Mori said as he lifted it to the end.

When the coffin lid was opened, the long-hidden secret inside was revealed to the three people approaching the coffin.

A corpse, with a red egg in its arms. The golden pattern on the egg was still beautiful and had not faded with time.

The colored glaze on top is transparent and bright, making it a work of art no less than the other egg.

"A body and an egg. He was sleeping with the egg in his arms." Maori Kogoro thought of a possibility. He turned his head and looked at Kosaka Natsumi and asked, "Ms. Natsumi, is this body your great-grandfather?"

"No, I think it should be my great-grandmother." Kosaka Natsumi shook her head slightly and continued, "There is only my great-grandfather in the cemetery in Yokosuka. I have always found it a little unbelievable, but maybe because my great-grandmother was Russian, she could not be buried in the tombs of her ancestors."

"Ms. Xia Mei, maybe this is not the right time, but can you let me see the egg?" Siruov Chinikov walked forward and said.
