The Split-Actress in Conan's World

"Let's go, let's hold hands..."

In the dim corridor, children's voices were singing in a chaotic manner.

"What on earth are these little guys here for..." Uncle Maori held up a lighter to illuminate, with a pair of dead fish eyes.

Natsumi Kosaka, who was walking beside him, smiled and said, "It's okay, Mr. Maori. It will be more lively with more people."

"Going on a picnic to the green mountains and clear waters... Hey, there's no way out?" The three little ones stopped singing suddenly, and saw a wall in front of the passage.

"Could we have taken the wrong path?" Yuan Tai asked.

"No, there should be only one road in this place." Lin Chiyu shook his head.

Chiyoko looked at Conan sideways and wondered, hasn't this kid noticed Kaito Kid yet?

No matter how you think about it, Rin Chiyu rarely gives explanations to children, right?

The Russian clerk shone his flashlight on the wall and saw a crowned double-headed eagle.

“This is the national emblem of our Russia!”

However, "Rin Shakuha" narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a while, then denied it aloud: "No, there are some subtle differences. This is the national emblem from the imperial period."

"Why is there the national emblem from the imperial period printed here?" Qian Jiangyi asked puzzledly.

Chiyoko noticed that his huge hiking bag was gone.

The sun, the rays...

Conan lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly realized something, and pretended to be innocent and shouted to "Rin Shakuha": "Brother Rin, can you please get closer with your flashlight and shine it vertically at the crown on the wall?"

"Rin Shakuha" did as he was told.

After a slight vibration, the floor in front of the wall suddenly dropped slowly, revealing the passage behind it.

"There are tunnels under tunnels." Uncle Maori sweatdropped.

"It looks like a photometer design." Kuroba Kaito, who was dressed as Rin Shakuha, waited until the mechanism completely stopped and then moved the flashlight away from the painting.

Everyone walked along this narrow passage and came to a spacious round room.

The stone wall of the sky dome is engraved with patterns like the dome of a church, and the surroundings are trimmed into columns. There is a river pool with groundwater flowing through it on the side, and the sculptures on the river pool are three goddesses of beauty.

In the center of the stone chamber, there was a coffin.

Uncle Maori saw several lotus-shaped candlesticks beside the river, so he went over and tried to light them with a lighter. Unexpectedly, several flames really jumped out of the candlesticks.

“It can still be lit?”

He was a little surprised.

"Rin Shakuha" walked forward, looked at the coffin and said, "It looks like it's made of wood."

"It's a Western style." Uncle Maori also came over.

He saw the intricately patterned lock on the coffin and said, "This lock is really big."

Conan understood something and turned to Kosaka Natsumi and said, "Ms. Natsumi, that key!"

Natsumi Kosaka was stunned for a moment, took out the key from her bag, walked forward, and seemed to want to open the lock.

Chiyoko felt an even stronger desire to complain.

If Lin Chiyu was really here, she would definitely complain for him: "Is it really okay to open someone else's coffin?"

Unfortunately, Kaito Kidd seemed to be completely unaware of it. Not only did he not say anything, he also took a few steps back to give her space, as if he was enjoying the event.

He had no choice but to speak for himself, but before he could say anything, a cold female voice came from the side.

"Is this really a good idea?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Huihara Ai. Not only was she not nervous, she yawned and continued, "It's most likely that her great-grandmother is buried inside. Even if there are any treasures, they are burial objects."

Seeing Chiyoko looking at her, Huihara Ai blinked and whispered in his ear: "You think so, right?"

Chiyoko gave her a thumbs up to show her approval.

Now even Uncle Maori, who is a carefree person, felt a little embarrassed.

When they were walking in the dark before, they had an inexplicable feeling of adventure, and they actually forgot for a moment that this might be a tomb.

Conan was the same. Now that he came to his senses and thought about how he had just asked someone to open his ancestor's coffin, he felt very embarrassed.

In the end, it was Kosaka Natsumi herself who broke the deadlock: "After all, we are here, and I am also curious about the lives of my great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather."

She opened the lock anyway.

Uncle Maori and "Rinshakuha" stepped forward to help open the lid of the coffin, and saw a skeleton lying in the coffin. The skeleton was wearing rotten red silk satin, but it still looked luxurious when it was intact.

On the skeleton's chest, a red egg was being held, which looked a little bigger than the Egg of Memory.

"Is this the other egg on the drawing?" Uncle Maori murmured.

"It's a pity that the Egg of Memories was stolen by Kaito Kidd, otherwise if these two eggs were released together, they would definitely be worth at least 3 billion. No, 4 billion is not impossible!" General Qian's face was filled with heartache.

"Ms. Kosaka, although it may be a bit inappropriate to say this now, can you let me see the egg?" the Russian secretary said.

Natsumi Kosaka nodded, took the egg out of the coffin and handed it to him.

He took the egg carefully and looked at its appearance first. It was obviously made by the same craftsmanship as the green egg of memories, with the same pattern and glaze.

"There's a small hole at the bottom..." He noticed a small hole at the bottom of the egg, then opened it from the middle, a little surprised, "It's empty inside!"

"Empty? How is that possible?" Qian Jiangyi also leaned over to take a look.

Ayumi thought about it and said, "Could it be a combination?"

"I have a toy at home called a Russian nesting doll, and you put little eggs inside it just like that."

"It is possible." The Russian clerk noticed that there were grooves inside the egg to hold it in place.

"Damn it, if only I had that egg!" Uncle Maori said gritting his teeth as he thought of the egg stolen by Kaito Kid.

"Rin Chiyu" suddenly said: "Can you give me the egg?"

Natsumi Kosaka was stunned for a moment, but still handed it over.

He took the egg and walked to a pedestal beside the river, where he saw a groove that seemed suitable for placing the egg.

"Rin Chiyu" placed the red egg on top, then took out the green egg from somewhere and put it inside.

"You, where did you get the Egg of Memory?" Everyone was shocked.

"Shh." He raised his index finger to make a silencing gesture.

"Watch quietly, the greatest work of the magician at the end of the century."

He switched the flashlight to spotlight mode and placed it under the pedestal. The beam of light shot out from the groove, penetrated the small hole under the red egg, and passed through the small glass of the green egg, making the entire egg translucent.

"Little boy over there, can you please blow out the candle?" He smiled meaningfully and said to Chiyoko who was standing not far from the river pool.

Chiyoko squeezed out a pair of dead fish eyes, walked to the candlestick and blew out the flame. When Haibara Ai saw him move, she also walked to the other side and blew out the other candlestick.

In the translucent egg, the golden sculpture of the emperor and his family slowly rose up. It seemed that because the mechanism was completed, the originally stuttering music became smooth, allowing people to truly see the full picture of this work of art.

As the emperor in the sculpture turns the pages of the book, light is refracted through several glass windows inside the egg, shining out from the top of the egg and illuminating the sky inside the stone chamber like a starry sky.

The dark stone chamber suddenly became bright. Looking up, there were spots of light in the sky. Those spots of light were like a movie, showing pictures of the emperor and his family living together.

"It turns out that what they were reading in the eggs were not books, but photo albums..." Uncle Maori sighed.

"So it's named Memories." Conan was also shocked by this miraculous scene.

"If the emperor and his family had not been brutally murdered, this would truly be called the most precious gift." The Russian secretary was filled with emotion.

"As expected of a designer who is known as the magician of the fin de siècle."

"Ms. Xia Mei, the people in that photo over there are your great-grandfather and great-grandmother, right?" Conan pointed to a place. In the photo, a couple who looked very loving were sitting on a bench with smiles on their faces.

Chiyoko pointed to another photo and showed it to Huihara Ai: "Look, there is also a photo of Miss Xiamei's great-grandmother over there, and that one is a photo of the emperor's family."

Huihara Ai understood, "So, she is actually the youngest daughter of the royal family?"

Chiyoko nodded.

"That's incredible. No wonder he had to flee to Japan under a false name."

"Besides the great-grandfather who was called the magician of the end of the century, Miss Xia Mei's great-grandmother was also a romantic person, did you know? Both eggs are called eggs of memories, but the red egg outside is not only part of the mechanism, but also used to protect the green egg with a more sophisticated mechanism."

"I think she wanted to be buried with this egg to tell her loved ones, 'I am leaving with the precious memory of you protecting me.'"

Huiyuan Ai raised her eyebrows: "I didn't realize you were quite romantic."

Although everyone was amazed at the magical craftsmanship of this egg, some people did not forget that the egg that was supposed to be stolen was in the hands of Kaito Kid.

Conan quietly went behind "Rin Shakuha" and aimed at his neck, ready to shoot the anesthetic needle at any time.

However, Kaito Kidd had been on guard against him for a long time, so how could he be shot by him? He dodged it by just slightly turning sideways.

He pulled his clothes and in a blink of an eye he was wearing that classic white suit.

Everyone's attention was drawn to him when they saw Rin Chiha transformed into Kaito Kidd.

"When did you find out?" Kaito Kid chuckled, squatted in front of Conan, and twisted the brim of his hat with his fingers.

Conan sneered: "Mr. Rin would only feel disgusted when I call him 'Rin brother' like that. How could he not have any reaction at all?"

"And you're too tolerant of me. If it were the real Mr. Rin, he would just threaten to ask Xiaolan to take me away, and he wouldn't let me follow him all the time."

"Hahaha, I really don't know that cold guy well enough. I thought you wouldn't be very familiar with people with that kind of personality. I didn't expect that it would make me let my guard down. It seems that I have to be more cautious next time I disguise myself as him."

Conan has a few black lines on his head. Although Mr. Rin is sharp-tongued, cold, and has a bad taste, and occasionally likes to scare children, his reasoning ability is stronger than his, which makes him often lose the fun of reasoning. Sometimes he knows the answer but is too lazy to stand up and point out the murderer. But he is indeed a good person and trustworthy.

"Then we'll see you next time, Kudo Shinichi..." With a mysterious smile, Kaito Kid stood up and no longer paid attention to Conan who had a serious face.

"Since the egg has been returned to its original owner, I will take my leave for now." Kaito Kidd performed an elegant gentleman's salute, smashed a smoke bomb on the ground, and disappeared.

"Kaito Kidd!!" Uncle Maori yelled and chased after him, but there was no trace of him at all.

Only Conan was left standing frozen in place.

How did Kaito Kid know his identity? !

How much does he know?

This combination of punches completely stunned him, and he didn't even have time to think about why Kaito Kid went to so much trouble to return the egg.

Chiyoko walked over with a look of pity in her eyes.

With his hearing, he naturally heard the conversation between the two people just now.

He took out the piece of paper with the words "You'd better wait quietly, otherwise you will be seriously injured" from his pocket, and his eyes were filled with a bit of awe.

Hattori was right, the fortune sticks in this temple are quite accurate.

The incident came to a temporary end. The clerk of the Russian Embassy believed that this was an important legacy of the Kosaka family and decided to give up competing for the ownership of the egg. However, considering the identity of Kosaka Natsumi's great-grandmother, the Kosaka family's information would help Russia in sorting out the history of that period, so she was invited to Russia to discuss cooperation with the Russian officials.

After Suzuki Shiro learned about what happened here, he discussed it with Rin Sora and decided to give the egg to Kosaka Natsumi.

Of course, although it is a discussion, the situation is almost like this:

Suzuki Shiro: "Kongming, if the egg is given away, do you have any idea?"

Lin Kongming finished reading the document in his hand, signed it quickly, and then picked up the next document without even giving him a glance.

"Whatever you want, just don't disturb me while I'm working."

Shiro Suzuki uttered "Oh" weakly.

The Suzuki Group arranged a car to take the Mori father and daughter home, and Conan followed Professor Agasa and the others. It was a good opportunity to go out for a walk and participate in the team building of the Junior Detective League to make up for his previous behavior of going to Osaka alone and leaving everyone behind.

But he couldn't figure out how Kaito Kid knew he was Kudo Shinichi.

Why does it feel like everyone knows he is Kudo Shinichi now?

It can't be that he is really related to the professor and the professor told him, right?

Conan remained skeptical about this speculation.

------

The theatrical version of The Magician at the End of the Century has come to a successful conclusion. Although it is a theatrical version, the chapters are not named according to the format of the theatrical version, because in my plan, this section is a small chapter...

After all, the focus is mainly on the interaction with Kidd, and the plot content is a bit empty, so I didn't choose a chapter title like "Magician 123 at the End of the Century".

The Kyoto plot line will be a very long one, because there are a lot of original contents, and I don't know if you will like it, so I will split it up later and intersperse it between other plots in the form of branches, trying not to use lengthy narratives, although I don't know if writing like this will cause trouble...

The next chapter will be a side story. If you don’t like reading side stories, you don’t have to wait until tomorrow. After the side story, the story will return to the main storyline of the comics. The content of the movie version will probably not be written within two months.

Trying to write the storyboards of an animation in a coherent way is really a torture!!!

I don't want to touch the theater version anymore! ! ! !

Well, that's pretty much it.

Have a good life everyone.
