Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

The body of Tokura Mayobu was found in the smoking room at the attic of the mansion.

The Tokura family, Rikushige Koga, and Hikaru Hibara were waiting under the attic.

When she heard that her husband Tokura Masin was dead, Tokura Ruri looked horrified: "Dear, dear..."

Hanekawa Jiaohei said anxiously: "It seems that if we don't find the treasure quickly, something will really happen!"

Tosakura Minoru said with some sadness: "Yeah, maybe Mamoru-nee has already... been forcibly taken away here by the vampire-turned-sama brother. It may be like the legend, she has been taken away long ago. Get pierced!"

After checking the body in the attic, Conan, Hattori Heiji and Kamiya Minazuki came down from the attic.

Hattori Heiji closed the attic door.

Conan asked: "Well, if possible, can you tell us about it? About the legend just mentioned."

As everyone walked, Rikuzo Koga said: "That legend is already a story from around the Edo period. The people who ruled near this bungalow in the past were the ancestors of our Tokura family, that is, the lord. The lord has always been his subordinate. Childless.

Until rumors started to appear that he would give up the position of family governor to his younger brother, suddenly the lord brought a beautiful woman into the city and took her as his concubine.

Not long after, it was gratifying that the concubine was blessed with Lin'er and finally gave birth to an heir.

But one stormy night something happened..."

Hattori Heiji Ning asked: "The incident?"

Riku Koga nodded and continued to narrate: "The side chamber unfortunately fell from the cliff. Later, it was discovered that the side chamber's body was pierced by the branches of the tree. The lord, who suspected that something was fishy, ​​bought a weapon from Nanman. After using the props and severely interrogating the subordinates who had been in the side room, the truth finally came to light.

It turns out that the lord's younger brother deceived the concubine, saying that the heir master went to the forest and never came back, so he asked the concubine to go to the forest to find someone.

The angry lord decided to impale his brother and those who supported this terrible plan like side chambers, and arranged the corpses in the forest.

After that incident, the Lord became known as the 'Piercing Daimyo'. "

Hibara Hikaru asked doubtfully: "But, this shouldn't have anything to do with vampires, right?"

Tosakura Shina turned to look at Hibara Hikari and said: "Don't you know? Vlad III, the Archduke of Wallachia, who was said to be the prototype of Count Dracula, also impaled all the betrayers, and also He is called the ‘Piercing Man’.”

Hibara Hikaru was surprised: "Is this true?"

Hattori Heiji replied: "Yes, Vlad III's father is also known as the Demon Lord Dracuri."

Conan continued: "That's why his son named himself after Dracula."

Kamiya Mingyue twitched the corners of his lips, feeling that everyone here was seriously ill.

One is Dracula, the fictional vampire in the novel.

One happened to do something similar to Dracula, impaling everyone on a tree.

Apart from the puncture, there is no similarity at all.

What kind of vampire is this?

However, these people were so stupid that they really thought Torakura Sakiya had become a vampire.

Maybe Torakura Sakuya's corpse already stinks.

Koga Rikuzo suggested: "Since we are talking about this topic, why don't you go and visit, where is Nanman's room?"

Everyone and Saikoga Rikuzo came to the so-called Nanman room.

Seeing the things inside, Hattori Heiji suddenly realized: "I see, are all the torture props that the lord bought from the Nanban kept in this room?"

Conan walked to an instrument of torture, a guillotine. Conan didn't expect that there was even a guillotine.

Kamiya Mingyue was full of curiosity about the torture instruments in the room and looked around.

Hibara Hikari suddenly realized: "It turns out to be here, it turns out to be this room!"

Hattori Heiji wondered: "What?"

Hibara Hikaru explained: "Didn't I say that the master asked me to go find him this morning? Because I didn't know where Nanman's room was at that time..."

Conan asked: "Didn't you ask others where their rooms were?"

Hibara Hikaru shook his head: "No, because the master told me not to tell anyone to come to Nanman's room..."

Hibara Hikari squatted next to Conan and whispered softly: "Besides, the master also specially told me not to be discovered by the housekeeper."

Conan's eyebrows straightened unconsciously.

Hattori Heiji asked everyone: "When you were looking for the master, you should have come to this room to look for him, right?"

Tokura Kishi nodded and said, "Yes."

Hanekawa Johei said: "It's very uncomfortable here, so I skipped this one and didn't check it."

Conan's expression was speechless at this time.

Because after all, whether it was the impaling of the daimyo, or this torture room, or the monsters still flying in the sky, these were all topics that must not be discussed with Mao Lilan.

...

In the kitchen.

"Success! The dumplings are ready!"

“We packed a lot!”

Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanheye made a lot of dumplings.

“The next step is just to fry it and it’s ready!”

"We should also leave some for Conan and the others to eat!"

Just when Toyama Kazuye and Mao Lilan were about to start frying dumplings, a figure suddenly appeared behind them.

Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye were startled and hurriedly took out their 'crosses' and made signs.

However, the people who came were not vampires, but the head chef and two chefs.

The head chef was confused by the actions of Mao Lilan, Yuanshan and Ye, and explained: "I just came here to tell you to be careful when using the stove, and to pay attention to the aftermath of using the fire."

Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanheye responded awkwardly: "Okay~ We understand."

"That would be troublesome."

The three chefs turned and left.

In fact, one of the chefs asked, "Is it okay if I don't tell them? A murder just happened."

The head chef thought of the scene where Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanhe Ye were making signs of the cross, and the corner of his mouth twitched and said: "For their own good, it's better not to let them know."

The chef also thought of the scene just now, and the corners of his eyes twitched: "That's right."

...

Inside the restaurant.

Hattori Heiji told Torakura Ruri, Torakura Kishiji, Torakura Shina and Hanekawa Johei: "Do you understand? Until we come back here, the four of you must not leave the restaurant for a step!"

Hanekawa Johei said anxiously: "But, I have to find my baby!"

Hattori Heiji waved his hand and said: "Well, we and the housekeeper will help you find her."

Conan told Hihara Hikaru: "If anything happens, just call us, Hikari-sister."

Conan, Hattori Heiji, Kamiya Minatsuki and Koga Rikushige left the restaurant.
