Chapter 696: Kasaka’s Castle

Wednesday, May 5, afternoon, Sakishu Island Airport.

After Yuanzi's luxury sightseeing bus picked up the Nakamori Police Department wearing sunglasses, it drove directly into the belly of the heavy shield helicopter, and then the helicopter took off.

in the bus.

At the front of the bus are booths that look like facing each other, and at the back are facilities, a small bar and toilets. In addition to wine cabinets, the bar also has refrigerators, microwave ovens, etc.

The bar chairs are on the sides, facing the windows. Mori, Ovchinnikov, Gan Jiangyi, and Ryu Samukawa sat drinking on one side, and the Nakamori Police Department was alone on the other side.

Mei Daiko, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan sat in a booth facing each other in pairs, and in the booth facing them were Kazuha, Hattori, Kasaka Natsumi, and Pusi Qinglan, and behind them were Yamazaki and Sawabe Kuruyuki. Help two people.

Taking a look at the egg, Mei Daizi smiled and said, "So the egg is like this."

"Don't make bad ideas." Yuanzi smiled.

Mei Daizi smiled and said, "No way." As she spoke, she put the egg on the table in front of Yuanzi, but a small circular decoration on the bottom of the egg fell off, so she said quickly, "Ah, I'm sorry. " Then he laughed, "That's right, or I'll pay you the whole price at the current price."

"It's a good idea." Yuanzi smiled, "This thing is supposed to move."

"Miss Yuanzi, can I have a look?" Pusi Qinglan asked.

"Of course." Yuanzi handed the round ornament to Pusi Qinglan.

Pusi Qinglan looked at it, frowned and said to herself, "This is made of glass." Then she said to Kosaka Natsumi, "Miss Natsumi, since this egg came out of Mr. Kiichi's hand, why would he exchange the gem for it? If it is made into glass, if it is sold for money, the gem-studded eggs are obviously more valuable than glass products."

"I don't know about that either." Kasaka Natsumi said, "Maybe the gems were sold first, and this easter egg was finally sold when there was no other way."

Pusi Qinglan put the ornaments on the table in front of Yuanzi. Conan curiously picked up the ornaments and looked at them. He looked at the light inadvertently and found something strange, so he asked, "Sister Yuanzi, can you put the jewelry in the car?" Lights off?"

"Turn off the lights?" Sonoko asked, "Why?"

"Anyway, turn off the lights first, and then take a flashlight." Conan said.

"Yuanzi." Lan shouted.

"Okay, okay." Sonoko said, and then called everyone to pay attention, then called someone to turn off the lights and brought a flashlight to Conan.

Conan turned on the flashlight and pointed it at the rotunda, and a picture appeared on the wall. The picture was a castle.

"It turned out to be the magic mirror." Kazuha said, and then asked Natsumi Kosaka, "This should be Miss Natsumi's castle, right?"

"Yes." Kasaka Natsumi said, and then asked, "But the magic mirror?"

Hattori said: "In the past, when Catholics were not recognized, domestic believers used mirrors engraved with crosses to pray secretly."

"But with such a large and clear pattern," General One said excitedly, "This kind of miniature carving technique, the value of this egg has to be recalculated."

"But why did you do this?" Pusi Qinglan asked, "And, Miss Yuanzi, you don't know about this either, right?"

"Yes." Sonoko said, "It's the first time I know."

"It's really strange.

Hattori said, "It's obviously for selling money, but it doesn't say what the value of the thing is." "

"Yuanzi, where did you get this egg?" Mei Daizi asked.

"Well," Yuanzi said after thinking for a while, "the records say that it was one of the collaterals of a businessman in the 1960s. Later, the businessman went bankrupt and committed suicide, and those things became our family's. Where did they come from? I don’t know.” Then he asked someone to turn on the light.

"Anyway, another easter egg must be in the Swan Castle in Yokosuka, that's right," Mori said.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Natsumi," Ovchinnikov asked, "Since Swan Castle has existed for a long time, and it is near Yokosuka Port, was it bombed by the US military?"

"That's not true. I was lucky enough to escape," Sawabe Kuranosuke said, "but it was requisitioned later and became the residence of senior naval officers."

Ovchinnikov asked: "So, will that egg be in the hands of Americans now, or in a museum in the world, or in the hands of a collector?"

"Ha, it's fun now." Han Chuanlong laughed.

"No, that egg should still be inside the castle." Sawabe Kuranosuke said.

"Really?" Pusi Qinglan asked.

"Yes, Miss Qinglan, you will know when you get there." Sawabe Kuranosuke said. ...

In the afternoon, in front of Yokosuka Swan Castle.

After the heavy shield helicopter landed in the open space outside the fort, the bus backed out and drove towards the castle.

Looking at the castle getting closer and closer, Hattori said to himself: "Speaking of which, why is this castle German? It's obviously Russian."

"What nonsense, don't you eat steak?" He Ye said, "You are not a foreigner."

At this time, the bus stopped, and the doors opened to allow everyone to get out of the car.

After getting out of the car, Conan heard someone calling him, so he found a headache. Dr. Ali and the detective team were also here. After asking, I learned that it was Mitsuhiko's sister and friends who originally planned to go to the Toshin Oil Pot Aquarium, mainly to take a bath and bathe in deep ocean water. As a result, there were other activities temporarily, so they sold the tickets to Mitsuhiko at a lower price . Then they passed by here, Ayumi saw the tip of Swan Castle from a distance, and suggested to come and have a look on the return journey.

"Conan, are you going in?" Ayumi asked.

"Don't ask me, I can't make the decision." Conan said immediately.

"Uncle Mao Li, can you take us in too?" Yuan Tai said, "There must be many treasures hidden inside."

"The treasure belongs to the owner of the castle too," Maori asked angrily, "Are you planning to steal something?"

"Ah?" Yuan Tai smiled embarrassedly, "How is this possible? No, we just take a look."

"Yes, just take a look." Mitsuhiko agreed, "I will definitely not move around."

Maori said: "Listen to me, you are absolutely not allowed to go in."

Kasaka Natsumi smiled and said, "It's okay, Mr. Mori, just let them in."

"Great." Yuan Tai and the three cheered together.

After entering the castle, Sawabe Kuranosuke took everyone to visit the rooms inside, among the knights with knight armor as the main decoration, among the ladies with oil paintings as the main decoration, and among the statues as the main decoration. Among the nobles, and then took everyone to Kosaka Kiichi's studio.

"Come in, here are the photos of Mr. Kiichi and some photographic works at that time." Sawabe Kuranosuke said.

Glancing at the photos on display, Conan asked, "Miss Xia Mei, why doesn't it seem like there is no photo of your great-grandmother?"

"It's true, I don't even have a group photo, so I never knew what my great-grandmother looked like." Kasaka Natsumi said.

Looking at a group photo of the two of them, Gan Jiang pointed to the bearded man who was sitting, and asked Ovchinnikov, "Isn't this man Rasputin?"

"Yes," said Ovchinnikov, "the other must be Mr. Kiichi."

"It seems unusual for Mr. Xiyi to be able to take a photo with Rasputin who was in power at the time." Han Chuanlong laughed.

"Father, who is Rasputchin?" Lan asked Maori.

"Well, all I know is that he's a criminal in history," Maury said.

Gan Jiangyi said: "He is known as the strange monk Rasputin. He was good at flattering the emperor's family, so that he caused the demise of the Romanov dynasty. When his body was found in Hechuan, his skull was dented and one eye had been gouged out."

"No." Mei Daizi said, "Rasputin is a mysterious side figure, because he accurately predicted the severe drought and used witch doctor skills to cure Grand Duke Nicholas' dog and became famous. The prince suffered from hemophilia, a terminally ill disease at the time, so the emperor's family turned to various mysterious side figures for help after seeking medical treatment to no avail, and Rasputin entered the royal family in this way. Rasput Qin really helped the prince to tide over the difficulties again and again, which is why he won the trust of the Nicholas family, you know, that ah, ah..."

"Alexey." Yamazaki reminded.

"By the way, Alexei, he is the only male descendant of the Romanov dynasty, and he is the queen's best explanation to the empress dowager, to the royal family, and to the Russian people." Mei Daizi said, "That emperor is not Fool, you can trust whoever you trust, even if you are deluded or hypnotized, that is the skill of that person, and it is said that he also sent spies to monitor Rasputin."

He Ye smiled and said: "Wow, Mei Daizi, you are really amazing, you know all these things."

"Yeah, do you have such a good history?" Sonoko asked with a smile.

"Because he is a monster." Mei Daizi laughed.

"Demon, monster?" Ran, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko shuddered.

"It's said, it's just heard," Mei Daizi said with a smile, "Because there are rumors that Rasputin has had affairs with many members of the royal family, is biased towards Germany, and is in control of the power, Prince Yusupov wants to restore the royal family. Reputation, to restore royal orthodoxy, decided to get rid of Rasputin. So he set a trap in his house, let his wife use beauty tricks to attract Rasputin. Also involved were his son-in-law, a member of the clan, a A member of the Imperial Council, a friend officer and a doctor. However, the whole assassination process was very difficult. Rasputchin ate cake and drank wine mixed with cyanide, but he did not respond So Yusupov fired a shot at Rasputin. Everyone thought he was dead. When he was about to dispose of the body, Rasputin suddenly woke up, broke away from the uniform of the crowd and ran to the courtyard. The congressman chased him out of the house. Rasputin was shot three times, the last shot hitting him in the head, over one eye. But when they dragged him into the house and he woke up again, Yusupov hit him on the head several times with a dumbbell, He was beaten to death and finally thrown into an ice cave in the Moika River. However, Rasputchin was still not dead at that time, but was stunned again. Rasputchin's body was found the next day. Forensic examination, the results showed that he died by drowning, he dragged his seriously injured body, and survived for eight minutes in the icy water under the ice surface."

"Indeed, it is indeed a monster." He Ye's complexion was not good.

"Not only that," Mei Daizi said, "After Rasputin's death, his body was embalmed, and the royal family planned to build a monastery for him, but he was recognized by the revolutionaries three months later, and he was pulled out for a parade. However, witnesses claimed that when the lead and zinc coffins containing his body were burned until they melted, Rasputin's body had not been burned, and he sat up from the coffin and opened his eyes. Later He kept pouring kerosene on the body, and burned it to ashes after ten hours. And many noble women disguised themselves and came to the cremation site to pick up the ashes and worship them as holy objects."

"No way?" Yuanzi's complexion is also not good.

"It's amazing." Mei Daizi smiled. "By the way, Rasputchin once predicted that the Romanov dynasty would collapse within three months after his death. He was born on December 29, 1916. On March 8 of the following year, the "February Revolution" occurred in Russia, and the Romanov dynasty really perished, and the era of imperial Russia really came to an end."

"Is there really such a thing?" Han Chuanlong asked Ovchinnikov.

"It's just a rumor," Ovchinnikov said.

"Cough!" Gan Jiang changed the topic, "Compared to Rasputin, finding easter eggs is the most important thing now."...
