"Although they haven't returned yet, I believe they should be fine. I'll take Pousse Caillou to the police headquarters first. As for the Egg of Memories, I'll trouble you to hand it over to Ms. Sumire." With that, Inspector Shiratori drove Pousse Caillou away from the castle.
"You already found out, didn't you?" Conan watched the car drive away, then turned to face Yuta.
Although Conan didn't explicitly say what he had discovered, Yuta understood what Conan wanted to ask. "How could I have? It was only when I first arrived at the castle." Yuta said in a very relaxed tone.
"..." Conan pressed, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"He didn't do anything to harm me, and wouldn't it feel more fulfilling to figure it out yourself?" Yuta replied, with a somewhat mischievous expression.
Conan was about to say more, but he suddenly heard Mouri's voice. "Finally, we're saved!" Mouri and his group ran out from one side of the castle. It turned out they had used the rope ladder Professor Agasa brought to climb out of the tower where Haibara and the others had fallen earlier.
Once everyone reached the castle courtyard, they saw Conan holding the Egg of Memories, leaning beside Professor Agasa's car. Yuta, with his hands propping up his chin, sat on the car's hood, looking towards the castle. Ayumi, seeing that the two of them were fine, happily greeted them. "Conan! Brother Yuta!"
Conan held up the Egg of Memories and said, "This Egg of Memories was retrieved from the culprit by Yuta and Inspector Shiratori."
"Inspector Shiratori and Yuta, where is the culprit?" Mouri didn't see Inspector Shiratori or the culprit here.
"She was arrested by Inspector Shiratori, Uncle Mouri. Inspector Shiratori already drove her to the police headquarters. Oh, and by the way, the culprit is Miss Caillou." Yuta jumped off the car to deliver this blow to Mouri. He had already heard from Conan that Mouri had an interest in Pousse Caillou.
Mouri was greatly surprised by Yuta's words. "What?!"
Shirou was also shocked. "Miss Caillou is the culprit?"
"Yes," Conan affirmed Yuta's statement. "This [Egg of Memories] is to be handed over to Miss Sumire."
"Thank you." Sumire thanked Conan as she received the Egg of Memories.
Mouri now looked utterly heartbroken. "Ah, Miss Caillou, with her beautiful legs, is actually the culprit..."
Sumire looked at the Egg of Memories in her arms, then at the castle bathed in moonlight. "I once thought I would stay in this castle, which holds the beautiful love of my grandfather and grandmother. I want to place the Egg of Memories in the castle so that everyone who visits the castle in the future will know their love story~."
Zawaibe agreed with Sumire's idea. "That's right. Once you're settled, Miss Sumire, we can move the old lady's remains and bury them with Grandpa Kazuichi."
"Then can we visit the castle again?" The Detective Boys looked at Sumire with anticipation.
"Of course, welcome to be the castle's second batch of visitors." Sumire smiled, looking at the Detective Boys.
"But Kid still hasn't appeared..." Mouri realized he hadn't seen Kid since the Osaka incident.
"Maybe he really died..." Ayumi sounded a little sad.
Conan stated with certainty, "No, he's still alive!"
Ran, hearing Conan's words, silently watched Conan. Seeing the look in Ran's eyes, Yuta secretly thought, Looks like I need to go back and prepare.
Mouri Detective Agency, 10 PM.
Ran sat by the window, silently stroking the pigeon that Kid had picked up in Osaka, injured just like him, and then Conan opened the door and walked in. "Uncle Mouri is already asleep. He seems very tired."
"No choice, he worked too hard." Ran put the pigeon down, stood up, and looked out the window.
Conan looked at Ran, who had been silent for a long time, and spoke up. "Ran-neechan..."
"Thank you for saving my life in the castle. Conan was so cool then, just like Shinichi..." Ran turned around, forcing a smile as she looked at Conan. "You really are like Shinichi..." Ran's tears welled up in her eyes, finally flowing down.
Seeing Ran's tears, Conan felt a pang in his heart. "Ran..." Ran's tears still flowed incessantly. "But you two are different people, aren't you? Right? Conan!"
"It's my turn to appear." Yuta, hiding in the shadows and disguised as Shinichi, realized that if Shinichi didn't appear now, Conan would tell Ran everything. That way, Ran would fall into a dangerous situation. "Hm? That is... So that's it. Then I can safely continue watching." Yuta, preparing to leave, saw a "Shinichi" appear at the Mouri Detective Agency. With a little thought, Yuta understood: this was Kid coming to save Conan.
"I can't hide it anymore..." Conan smiled faintly, taking off his glasses. "Actually... Ran... actually I really am..." As Conan looked up, he found that Ran wasn't paying attention to him, but was looking behind him.
Ran excitedly said, "Shinichi..."
"What?" Conan turned his head, and saw Shinichi standing by the door. Ran asked again, uncertainly, "Is it really Shinichi?" Shinichi rolled his eyes. "Why are you asking me this? I heard you got caught up in a troublesome case, so I specially rushed here to see you." Conan was shocked beyond measure in his heart at this moment. "How is this possible!?" But Conan quickly regained his composure. He already knew who this was.
Ran ran towards Shinichi. "Idiot! Where have you been? You didn't even contact me!" "I'm sorry, there are too many cases to handle..." Shinichi said apologetically to Ran. "I'm not free tonight either."
Ran noticed that Shinichi's clothes were wet. "Wait a moment, I'll get a towel for you." With that, Ran ran upstairs to get a towel for Shinichi. Shinichi, watching Ran go upstairs, left the agency. Conan followed him out. "Wait, Kaito Kid, you almost fooled me. I didn't expect you to turn into Inspector Shiratori."
Shinichi, no, it should be Kid, disguised as Shinichi, blew a whistle. The pigeon upstairs flew down and landed on him. "…'You already expected something would happen on the ship, didn't you?'" Kid, walking towards the road, performed pigeon magic, continuously producing pigeons. "Not entirely sure, but I knew about the wreckage on the ship from the phone call."
"And one more thing. You stole that egg to return it to its rightful owner, Miss Sumire. You know that the creator of that egg is Mr. Kazuichi, known as the magician of the century, which is why the notice was titled 'The Last Wizard of the Century,' right?"
Kid asked with interest, "Oh, what else did you discover?"
"Miss Sumire's great-grandmother, who was Nicholas II's third daughter, Maria." Kid's magic stopped. He turned around and glanced at Conan. Conan continued, "Maria's body was not discovered because she was rescued by Mr. Kazuichi before being shot and fled to Japan. Later, love blossomed between them, and they had a child.
But she passed away not long after. Mr. Kazuichi, to protect Maria's remains from the Russian Revolutionary Army, sold the jewels she brought with her and built a castle. As for why it's a German-style building, that's because her mother was German.
Thus, Maria's remains and that egg were buried in the basement. Another egg contained clues to the castle, waiting for her descendants to discover it. If you think about it carefully, all the mysteries are solved."
Kid turned his head and said to Conan, "Let me give you a piece of advice. Some things in this world are better left a mystery forever." Kid was referring to his own identity and Conan's identity. Conan also agreed, "Indeed, perhaps it's better not to solve this mystery."
Kid chuckled, "Do you have another riddle you can solve, great detective? Why did I transform into Shinichi Kudo to rescue a troublesome enemy?"
"Shinichi!" Ran ran downstairs with a towel. Kid snapped his fingers and vanished amidst a flock of pigeons. Conan revealed a faint smile. "Idiot, what kind of riddle is that? You're helping me out because you're grateful I saved that pigeon, right?"
"You're still so fond of showing off, Kid." On his way home, someone suddenly spoke to Kid.
