Turning back to Osaka, after Conan and the others arrived at the Suzuki Modern Art Museum by car, they found an unimaginably large number of police officers there.
Ran exclaimed, "What tight security!"
Mouri agreed with Ran, "Not even an ant could escape."
"Of course, because the opponent is Kid the Phantom Thief! He is..." Sonoko walked up behind them with her hands behind her back. But before Sonoko could finish, she was interrupted. "The elusive, freely transforming Phantom Thief Gentleman.
No matter how tight the security, no matter how sturdy the vault, he can miraculously and quickly bypass it. He can even imitate appearances and voices. He's truly a master of disguise. This time, we've really encountered a tricky opponent, Kudo!" A dark-skinned young man took off his helmet and said.
Conan was very surprised to see Heiji's appearance. "Ah! Heiji!"
"This guy again." Mouri pouted.
Ran said to Heiji with some dissatisfaction, "Honestly, why do you always call Conan 'Kudo'?"
Heiji scratched his head, "Sorry, sorry. It's because his eyes are very similar to Kudo's. I just blurted it out unconsciously."
Sonoko looked at Heiji and asked Ran, "Is that the high school detective Heiji Hattori? He's quite handsome!"
Ran shook her head, "No, no. He seems to have a childhood friend named Kazuha. Although they often bicker, their feelings are very good!"
Sonoko rolled her eyes, "Childhood friends again? Just like you and Shinichi. I want a childhood friend boyfriend too!"
Ran was speechless, "Speaking of childhood friends, isn't there Yuu?"
"Yuu?" Sonoko paused, then waved her hand. "No, no. Yuu and I are too familiar. Besides, Yuu isn't my type, even though he's very good."
"Saying that will hurt Yuu's feelings."
"Don't worry, Yuu isn't that petty, hahahaha!"
At Professor Agasa's house in Tokyo, "Ach-choo!" Yuu, who was preparing dinner for everyone, sneezed. "Damn it, someone must be badmouthing me. Could it be Shinichi? Good, when he comes back, I'll let him know what happens to people who badmouth me behind my back!"
Let's turn our attention back to Osaka. "Kudo, why didn't Yuu come this time? I wanted to show you guys around Osaka properly!" Heiji searched around and was surprised not to see Yuu.
Ever since the case of Holmes last time, Heiji, Conan, and Yuu had developed a very good relationship. Conan thought about the reason Yuu said he couldn't come. "Yuu said it's just a thief; what's there to see? Might as well play on his phone at home."
"..." Heiji's forehead was covered in black lines. He had to concede that reason.
Conan and his group, led by Sonoko, went to the president's office on the top floor of the museum. Shiro Suzuki, sitting on the sofa, saw Mouri enter and stood up to greet him, "Ah, Mr. Mouri, thank you for coming all this way!"
"Hello!" Mouri and Shiro Suzuki shook hands.
"Oh, Ran and Conan are here too! Sonoko, this is..." Shiro Suzuki asked Sonoko, seeing Heiji whom he didn't know. Sonoko pointed at Heiji and introduced him to Shiro Suzuki, "This is Heiji Hattori, Dad. Heiji Hattori is known as the high school detective of Kansai, and he's very famous in Kansai!"
Upon hearing Sonoko say this, Shiro Suzuki looked at Heiji. "That's wonderful! Then I'll have to rely on you this time too!" Heiji patted himself and said, "Oh! Leave it to me, old man!"
Mouri reprimanded Heiji, "You brat! Calling President Suzuki an old man!"
Shiro Suzuki didn't mind Heiji's words. "It's alright, Mr. Mouri. Allow me to introduce you. This is the First Secretary of the Russian Ambassador, Mr. Sergei Ovchinnikov." A tall, grey-haired middle-aged man stood up and greeted everyone, "Pleased to meet you!"
Shiro Suzuki continued to introduce, "Next to him is the art dealer I invited, Mr. Kazuyoshi Igarashi." This old art dealer nodded to everyone.
"This is Miss Seiran Pusu, a Romanov Dynasty researcher." Seiran Pusu, wearing a blue dress, greeted them with "NÇ hÇo" in Chinese.
"This is Mr. Ryuu Samukawa, a freelance videographer who applied to film the Egg of Memories." Ryuu Samukawa aimed his camera at everyone, "Pleased to meet you!"
Kogoro asked Shiro Suzuki, "So, what's their appraised value of the egg?"
"800 million!" Kazuyoshi Igarashi reported a price.
Mouri was shocked, "What? 800 million!"
Kazuyoshi Igarashi looked at Shiro Suzuki, "If you're willing to sell, I can raise the price further."
Sergei stood up and eagerly said to Shiro Suzuki, "President! The Imperial Easter Egg belongs to Russia! Instead of selling it to such a shortsighted black market dealer, why not donate it to our Russian Art Museum?"
Kazuyoshi Igarashi looked angrily at Sergei, "Are you saying I'm shortsighted?"
"Alright, alright! Filming people is more interesting than filming that egg! You act as if it's none of your business, yet by rights, as a Romanov Dynasty researcher, you should want it more than anyone else!" Ryuu Samukawa aimed his camera at Seiran Pusu.
"Yeah, but I don't have 800 million..." Seiran Pusu looked troubled.
Ryuu Samukawa also smiled and said, "That's true, I only managed to gather 200 million."
Conan sighed with emotion, "Wow... Not just Kid the Phantom Thief, everyone is coveting that egg."
Shiro Suzuki noticed the scene was about to get noisy again and said, "Regarding the egg... let's discuss it another day."
"I understand."
"Alright, I'll take my leave today then." Sergei and the others left the room.
Ryuu Samukawa was startled by his secretary, Shino Masato, when he left the room. "Wow!"
Conan looked at him, puzzled, "Hmm?"
Shiro Suzuki opened the box for the egg that Shino Masato had brought.
Ran asked curiously, "Is this the Imperial Easter Egg?"
Heiji was somewhat dissatisfied with the egg, "It's not as beautiful as I imagined. It looks like an ostrich egg."
"Can it be opened?" Conan asked Shiro Suzuki.
Shiro Suzuki opened the lid of the egg. "Yes, you know it well! Inside is a model of Emperor Nicholas's family, all made of gold."
After Shiro Suzuki demonstrated the mechanism of the Egg of Memories, everyone was very surprised. After seeing the Egg of Memories, and solving Kid's notice with Inspector Chaki and Inspector Nakamori, Heiji invited Conan and the others to visit a shrine.
"Sounds good. Anyway, there's still some time before Kid arrives." Everyone agreed.
