Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Downstairs of the Mori Detective Agency.

"Oh, I've really caused you a lot of trouble. I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that I even bought you breakfast." Officer Otaki said to Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri in embarrassment.

Mouri Kogoro shook his head and said politely: "No, no."

Hattori Heiji said with a smile: "However, after all, we decided to stay overnight suddenly, so please forgive us~"

Conan looked at Hattori Heiji helplessly.

Stop talking nonsense.

These guys had obviously planned to stay at the office from the beginning, and they had all prepared a change of clothes.

Yuan Shan and Ye waved to Mao Lilan: "Well, Xiaolan, see you next time!"

Officer Otaki said goodbye to Kogoro Mori and Minazuki Kamiya: "Then, I will take my leave here, Mr. Mori, and see you next time, Mr. Kamiya."

The sleepy Kamiya Minazuki waved her hands and said: "Ah, goodbye~"

Kamiya Minazuki also slept in the Mori office last night.

I originally went to have dinner, but then I found out that Officer Otaki and others were also there, so I decided to have a drink together.

Officer Otaki, a weakling, was drunk down very early.

In the end, it was Mouri Kogoro and Kamiya Minatsuki who drank.

Mouri Kogoro welcomed him: "Next time you put down your work and come directly to play with us."

Officer Otaki bowed and said, "Okay, I'm really sorry."

Officer Otaki turned and walked toward the street.

However, Officer Otaki's direction was opposite to that of Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha.

Hattori Heiji asked in confusion: "Uncle Otaki, where are you going? Tokyo Station is going here."

Officer Otaki said with some embarrassment: "You should go back first, I still have some official business to do now."

"That's it~" Hattori Heiji glanced at Officer Otaki suspiciously.

Officer Otaki set out on the road alone.

Before coming to Tokyo, Hattori Heiji's father called Officer Otaki.

"At the junction of Gunma Prefecture and Saitama Prefecture, there is a Western-style house built in the mountains. A meeting on inheritance will be held there tomorrow night. Can you go over and attend their meeting.

According to the client, the owner of the Western-style bungalow, as the decedent, seemed to look very strange, so the other party hoped that at least relevant police personnel could go to the bungalow to attend the meeting. "

Officer Otaki promised: "There is no problem in letting me pass."

Hattori Heizang continued: "There has been a murder in the forest near that bungalow, so there is a wonderful rumor circulating. I will not force you to go there. If you are willing to go, be sure to be more careful! Don't let the blood be stolen. Suck it dry.”

Officer Otaki's expression was very solemn. After all, what Hattori Heizo said was a bit too scary.

...

"Don't want to be sucked dry for what?"

Officer Otaki, who was driving, suddenly heard a sound in his car and was startled.

"Heiji? Conan?"

Officer Otaki glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror and found that Hattori Heiji and Conan had gotten into the car at some point.

Hattori Heiji asked thiefly: "You have been saying to yourself don't be sucked dry, don't be sucked dry. Is it possible that you are referring to a woman's lips?"

Officer Otaki did not answer, but asked in confusion: "When did you two run to the car?"

A bright smile appeared on Conan's face: "We sneaked into the car while Officer Otaki went to the gas station to use the toilet. Didn't you notice? Even Uncle Kogoro and the others were following behind."

"what?!"

Officer Otaki glanced in the rearview mirror.

It was found that Mouri Kogoro was driving, Kamiya Minatsuki was sitting in the passenger seat, and Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha were in the back seat.

Officer Otaki asked puzzledly: "Yes, but why?"

Hattori Heiji teased: "Because we want to see the face of the woman you want to meet secretly in private. However, I never thought that Uncle Otaki you would actually raise a woman here."

Conan also said: "Sister Xiaolan and the others also said that they hope you can introduce them well."

Officer Otaki said helplessly: "No, I don't have a good woman to introduce to you."

Conan said in a weird voice: "Ah~ can you tell us? What happened?"

After talking about the incident, Conan's eyes became a little sharp.

Officer Otaki was very surprised: "Eh?"

Hattori Heiji put his face next to Officer Otaki and said, "There must be an incident, right? Did my dad ask you to keep it a secret from me?"

Officer Otaki sighed and began to tell: "Actually, half a year ago, a female body was found in the forest near the bungalow we were going to. The body was turned upside down and tied to the penis. It was really tragic to die on a pile in the ground."

Hattori Heiji said seriously: "That's really cruel."

Officer Otaki continued: "The woman's identity is the maid of the bungalow. The appearance of the body can be said to be very strange."

Hattori Heiji and Conan suddenly became excited and asked, "What does weird mean?"

Officer Otaki recounted: "The old couple who discovered the body said that the skin of the body was too fair. At first, they thought it was just an upside-down scarecrow standing there to scare bears."

Hattori Heiji asked: "That corpse died of blood loss after the carotid artery was cut, and then was tied up in the forest, right?"

Officer Otaki denied: "However, it seems that no huge wounds were found on the body. The only ones found were the two small holes on the neck."

Conan was a little surprised: "He died of blood loss because of the two small holes in his neck?"

Hattori Heiji also said in disbelief: "It sounds like..."

Officer Otaki's expression became very serious, and he recalled what Hattori Heizo said to him in his mind.

"Otaki, do you believe that vampires exist in this world?"

Conan, Hattori Heiji and Officer Otaki had vampires appear in their minds.

...

Parking location for bungalow upon arrival.

Mouri Kogoro and Kamiya Mingyue also learned about the case half a year ago.

Mouri Kogoro was surprised: "Suck, vampire? Did you say that murder was committed by a vampire?"

Officer Otaki said hurriedly: "That's just a rumor spread nearby, because this area used to be ruled by a lord."

Kamiya Minayuki was full of interest, touched his chin and muttered: "Vampire? Lord? Two holes in the neck? That's interesting~"

Hattori Heiji asked: "What then? Has the murderer not been arrested yet?"

Officer Otaki nodded: "Yes."

Mouri Kogoro asked doubtfully: "But, there will always be a few suspects, right?"

Officer Otaki replied that there was indeed a suspect, and that was the owner of the mansion, Tokura Sakuya.
