AWB Chapter 94 The Second Egg
Chapter 94 The Second Egg
Several people watched Kidd through binoculars as he flew towards a residential building. Not long after, he flew away from the scene, apparently having successfully obtained the Easter egg.
Huibara Ai couldn't help but complain: "It's only been a few minutes? He succeeded so quickly? Even if Kidd found the location, how could there not be a single guard? Or were all the police officers knocked down in just these few minutes?"
Chen Shuo calmly gazed at Kidd in the sky, his tone tinged with helplessness. "I've noticed this before when I was working: the police... aside from a very few exceptionally capable ones, the rest are... hard to describe."
"Alas..." Mao Lilan also sighed and said empathetically, "The police are actually very dedicated to their duties, but to be honest, their abilities are a bit questionable. Dad once said that many police officers still lack the ability to respond to situations on the spot."
As they watched Kidd flying through the air, they complained to each other about the capabilities of the Japanese police, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. However, at this moment, they suddenly saw Kidd, who had been flying smoothly, suddenly start to shake, and then fell out of control into the sea.
Chen Shuo frowned slightly, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings. His keen intuition allowed him to spot a dark figure, holding a silenced pistol pointed at the horizon. Due to the darkness, Chen Shuo couldn't clearly see the man's face, but he could confirm that he had just shot Kidd.
"A gunman shot at Kidd. I think he was shot. I don't know if he is dead." Seeing that the gunman did not pose a threat to them, Chen Shuo spoke calmly and explained to the three puzzled girls.
The three girls were startled when they heard this and immediately looked around, trying to find the gunman. However, the gunman had already put away his gun and left, and nothing could be seen in the darkness.
Mao Lilan said with some confusion: "How could this happen... The police shouldn't shoot, who is it?"
Suzuki Sonoko also frowned in dissatisfaction: "Although Kidd has stolen things from my house before, it's not necessary to kill him. It's really annoying that it turned out like this this time!"
Haibara Ai remained silent, staring intently at the direction Kidd fell, a hint of worry in her eyes. Kidd wasn't a stranger to her; after all, he'd helped her sister before, making him her benefactor. Now, seeing Kidd's fate hanging in the balance, she felt a pang of worry.
Thus, the originally exciting trip ended in a hurry, and several people walked back in disappointment with mixed feelings.

Because the "Egg of Memory" was hit last night, the Suzuki family decided to take their own cruise ship to transport the egg back to Tokyo to inspect it for damage. However, this time, there was an uninvited visitor on board.
Her name is Natsumi Kosaka, and she claims that her great-grandfather was the craftsman who made the "Egg of Memory." As the Russian Revolution broke out, the dynasty was overthrown, and the emperor's family was shot, her great-grandfather fled to Japan with his family and the egg, and gave birth to her grandmother.
To prove her point, Kosaka Natsumi pulled out a damaged blueprint. Maori Kogoro frowned slightly as he looked at the egg on the blueprint, feeling it didn't match the real thing. Conan, perceptive enough to spot the clue, concluded there must be two eggs.
"I see..." Shiro Suzuki looked at the design drawing and thought it made sense. Everyone stared at the design drawing and studied it carefully, while Conan picked up the "Egg of Memories" beside him, looked it up and down, wondering why this egg was called "Memories".
At this moment, he suddenly found a small hole at the bottom of the egg, which was sealed with a small round piece of glass. Out of curiosity, he gently poked the hole, but unexpectedly, the glass was not fixed and fell off at the touch.
"Oh no! It fell! o((⊙﹏⊙))o" Conan's heart tightened and he quickly squatted down to pick it up.
Maori Kogoro frowned slightly when he saw this: "What are you doing?"
"Uh... hehe." Conan picked up the fallen glass and scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed: "It's a small mirror, I accidentally dropped it..."
"What!!!!Σ(っ °Д °;)っ" Maori Kogoro turned pale instantly, as if he had lost his soul. His breathing even stopped. "This is a decoration on top of the 800 million yen! This will cost more than 100 million!"
"Calm down, Kogoro." Chen Shuo couldn't help but laugh when he saw Maori Kogoro so panicked. He thought to himself: I underestimated you, Conan. You can cause more than 100 million in damage with just one move.
Seeing everyone's nervous look, Yuanzi couldn't help but smile and said in a relaxed manner: "Don't worry too much, the mirror is actually very easy to disassemble." Her tone was like a spring breeze, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.
Hearing this, Conan and Maori Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief, their brows relaxed a lot. Conan lowered his head and fiddled with the mirror, thinking secretly in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the light could shine through the mirror to create strange patterns.
"Mr. Nishino, please turn off the lights!" Conan shouted quickly, completely ignoring Maori Kogoro's roar. Nishino was stunned for a moment, then followed the instructions and turned off the surrounding lights. In an instant, the whole space fell into darkness.
Without waiting a moment, Conan quickly picked up the flashlight on his watch and shone the beam through the mirror onto the wall. As the bright light reflected on the wall, everyone was stunned.
"Wow!" everyone exclaimed in unison, and they all gathered closer, staring intently at the wall. A vague and mysterious pattern was projected there, seemingly a magnificent castle building, with clear outlines and a lifelike quality.
"What...what is this?" The Russian clerk looked confused and full of question marks.
"I know!" Qian Jiangyi recognized it, and a look of confidence appeared on his face, "This is the magic mirror."
"I've heard of it!" Pu Siqinglan took over the conversation, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "There are such magical mirrors in Japan and China."
"Mr. Sawabe! This city..." A hint of surprise flashed across Natsumi Kosaka's face, and she hurriedly confirmed with her butler.
The butler nodded, his tone firm: "Yes, this is Yokosuka Castle, that's for sure."
Mao Lilan blinked in surprise: "Yokosuka... is it the castle that often appears on TV?"
Kosaka Natsumi smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, that is the castle of the Kosaka family."
Maori Kogoro seemed to understand something when he heard this: "So... does this mean that the other egg is actually inside the castle? Your great-grandfather sold an egg to build this castle, and then hid the clue to the other egg here through this magic mirror."
"Speaking of which!" Kosaka Natsumi rummaged through her bag and pulled out an old key, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Actually, besides the design drawings, there's also this old key! This..."
Maori Kogoro interrupted confidently, "That's right, this should be the key to the second egg!"
Kosaka Natsumi nodded and smiled at Maori Kogoro. "Then...Mr. Maori, I wonder if you could go to Yokosuka Castle with me after you return to Tokyo? Of course, I'll pay the commission."
Maori Kogoro said confidently, "I'd love to! I'm also interested in the second egg."
Upon hearing this, several people who harbored ambitions for the Egg of Memory expressed their desire to join them. Kosaka Natsumi looked around at the group. Despite these clearly ill-intentioned requests, her smile remained gentle, as if she didn't notice anything was amiss. "Of course, everyone, let's go together." However, no one noticed that when Kosaka Natsumi looked at Chen Shuo, who seemed completely uninterested, a hint of meaning flashed in her eyes.

In the guest room, Mao Lilan was holding Haibara Ai and chatting with Chen Shuo. The sunlight shone through the curtains on them, making them look warm and peaceful. Mao Lilan liked this "little sister" more and more. Haibara Ai was like a cute doll, making her want to hug her tightly. Haibara Ai leaned slightly in Mao Lilan's arms, as if she could feel the maternal glow emanating from her. She had never rejected Mao Lilan's embrace, but instead enjoyed the warmth.
The three of them chatted in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, occasionally accompanied by laughter. Just then, a knock on the door suddenly interrupted their conversation. Chen Shuo heard the sound, stood up, walked to the door, and opened it. The person who appeared before him was Han Chuanlong, holding a camera in his hand, filming him right in the face.
"Oh, what a boring guy." Han Chuanlong looked at Chen Shuo's unchanged expression and felt very bored. He couldn't help but complain and prepared to turn around and leave.
However, before he could walk away, he suddenly felt a pain on his scalp. Chen Shuo grabbed Han Chuanlong's hair, dragged him into the room, and slammed the door shut. Han Chuanlong was startled by the sudden force and yelled, "What are you doing~~~Ouch!"
Han Chuanlong was thrown to the ground by Chen Shuo, falling on his back. The camera also fell to the side with a crisp crash. Chen Shuo glanced coldly at the annoying camera and stepped on it without hesitation. The lens shattered instantly and scattered all over the floor.
"You fucking bastard..." Seeing his beloved camera being crushed, Hanchuan Long's anger instantly erupted. He suddenly stood up and rushed towards Chen Shuo. However, before he could finish his words, he was kicked over by Chen Shuo and fell heavily to the ground, as if knocked down by a powerful force.
"Do you have any objections?" Chen Shuo's expression was icy. He stepped coldly on Han Chuanlong's face with one foot. His voice was as icy and merciless.
Han Chuanlong looked at Chen Shuo's eyes, which were as cold as a knife. He felt a wave of fear in his heart, as if he had been stabbed in the heart. He quickly stammered and apologized: "I'm sorry, I have no objection! I have no objection!"
There was fear in his voice, and his pants were wet without him noticing, looking miserable.
Seeing this, Chen Shuo snorted contemptuously, turned around, opened the door, and kicked Han Chuanlong out with force. Han Chuanlong did not resist, but rushed out, his face full of panic, not daring to say anything harsh, and fled in panic like a frightened bird.
Chen Shuo closed the door and clapped his hands gently, as if he had completely forgotten the farce just now. Walking back to the sofa, he breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile on his face. Mao Lilan sat next to him, her face full of curiosity. She leaned forward slightly and asked, "Brother Shuo, what's wrong? What happened?"
Chen Shuo casually explained what had just happened, his brow relaxed, completely unconcerned with Hanchuan Long's threats and dissatisfaction. Mao Lilan nodded after hearing this, but a hint of worry flashed across her face: "Then...will there be trouble?" It wasn't that she thought Chen Shuo's actions were inappropriate, but she was worried that Hanchuan Long might be beaten to death, which would be really troublesome.
"No." Chen Shuo shook his head indifferently, his voice firm, "He's just a small-time character. How could he cause me any trouble? Besides, I've already shown mercy to him. He won't die."
At this time, Haibara Ai was listening on the side and couldn't help but make a slight sound of agreement: "Well, people like this deserve a beating." A trace of imperceptible excitement flashed across her face, and the little devil in her heart seemed to be ready to move.
Mao Lilan shook her head helplessly and advised softly: "Xiao Ai, girls should be gentler."
Huiyuan Ai glanced at Mao Lilan with her eyes slanted, pouting and saying nothing, but thinking in her heart: You are a woman who killed a group of fully armed mafia with your bare hands, and you actually advised me to be gentle...
The atmosphere relaxed amidst the casual conversation. Chen Shuo leaned back on the sofa, unconcerned with the previous conflict, enjoying the tranquility and ease of the moment. Sunlight streamed in through the curtains, its warm glow creating a sense of relaxation. They seemed to have forgotten the chaos outside, immersed in this cozy atmosphere.
