The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

boom!

There was another brief thunder.

Torakura Sakuya was hanging upside down outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and his movements were very much like a bat hanging upside down from the ceiling of a cave.

However, his lower body cannot be seen, only his upper body is exposed.

When everyone in the restaurant saw this scene, they were all shocked and speechless for a moment.

"Ah——!" Maid Xiaoguang suddenly screamed, breaking the brief silence.

Qin Zhibo was the first to react. He rushed forward and pushed away the pretty boy standing blankly in front of the window.

But at that moment, Torakura Yuya outside the window suddenly shrank back as if a mechanism had been triggered.

Qin Zhibo quickly opened the window and came to the balcony to check.

boom!

There was another thunder, and the purple thunder that bloomed in the clouds lit up half of the night sky, and at the same time illuminated the huge shadow flying away in the sky.

The shadow flapped a pair of long and narrow wings, looking like Batman.

Qin Zhibo squinted his eyes slightly, staring closely at the shadow of the huge bat that was escaping in the distance.

Hattori Heiji and Conan, who followed later, also saw the shadow of the bat, and their expressions became horrified.

"Then, what is that?" Conan asked in a low voice.

Although Hattori Heiji was so shocked that his pupils shrank, he still bravely answered, "Is it, is it some kind of bird?"

"But...if it's a bird, it's too big..."

Suddenly, Conan felt some kind of slippery liquid on his forehead.

Conan raised his hand and touched it. He looked at it under the light and found that it was a dark red liquid.

After sniffing it with my nose, I could smell a rusty smell.

"Blood, blood?"

When Hattori Heiji saw the blood on Conan's palm, he quickly came over and asked with concern: "Kudo, why are you bleeding? Could it be that you were bitten by that thing!"

"I don't know either?"

Conan also touched his head, wondering when he did it.

People are like this, always leaving some blood stains on their bodies for no reason, and they don't even realize when these blood stains were done.

Qin Zhibo looked up and said calmly: "It was left from above..."

Hattori Heiji and Conan also looked up in that direction, and sure enough they saw red liquid dripping from the eaves above.

"Is there any room up here?!" Hattori Heiji yelled and asked.

Butler Koga nodded, "Yes, the top is the attic..."

Everyone quickly ran to the third floor of the villa.

This is the attic of the villa. According to the introduction of the housekeeper Koga, Tokura Sakiya hated the smell of smoke, so it was transformed into a special smoking room.

Several people climbed up the ladder, and sure enough they found the second son of the Tokura family lying there at the window.

The body of Tokura Ernan was lying on the window, one hand stretched out the window, and his bleeding neck was also resting on the window.

In his right hand, he held a bloody dagger.

Qin Zhibo stepped forward and checked the investigation point. He was indeed dead.

This is the first corpse investigation site I saw tonight...

【Corpse Investigation√】

[Name of the deceased: Tokura Masin]

[Time of death: 10 minutes ago]

[Cause of death: Excessive blood loss due to carotid artery severance]

[The corpse investigation is completed and character skills obtained: car driving]

[Acquire repeated skills, converted into 1000 proficiency of that skill]

Although the body was completed, the side quest did not appear.

Qin Zhibo also knew the reason. The main mission already included this side mission.

Hattori Heiji also checked the pulse and the wound on the neck to confirm that the person was dead.

"His carotid artery was severed and he was no longer alive... But the problem is that his hand was holding the dagger by itself."

Conan also glanced at the dagger in Tokura Ernan's hand, and analyzed in a deep voice: "In other words, he may have decided to commit suicide after being suddenly attacked by someone."

Hattori Heiji continued: "In other words, that person deliberately spread suspicion and wanted people to think that he committed suicide..."

…

The three of them checked around the attic again to make sure nothing was missing before coming down from the attic.

Several other people from the Tokura family who were waiting below couldn't wait to ask about the situation.

When they learned that Tokura Ernan was dead, these people all showed expressions of disbelief.

"W-what? Ma Xin..."

The second man's wife's eyes widened in horror, and her body shook slightly as if she couldn't bear the blow.

Fortunately, the two men behind her gently held her shoulders, preventing her from falling.

The pretty boy also stared in surprise and murmured: "It seems that we need to find the treasure as soon as possible, otherwise something will really happen..."

The girl with glasses also echoed: "Yes, maybe Mamoru and sister-in-law have been forcibly taken away by the vampire-turned-sama brother, and pierced like the legend..."

Qin Zhibo, Hattori Heiji, and Conan looked at the reactions of several people and knew that the so-called legend was the "Piercing Daimyo" that the butler told before.

Just now, Hattori Heiji thought it was just a legend imitating foreign Dracula.

But now there is a murder case, and it is similar to the plot of the assassination of the daimyo to kill his own brother, so he has to pay attention to it.

"Now no matter what, you people don't leave the restaurant until you find that aunt."

"The servants and chefs in this villa are also required to stay in the room and are not allowed to leave until the police arrive."

"Of course, in addition to Mr. Butler, you will also have to guide us..."

Hattori Heiji was just about to raise his hand to turn his hat to the front and switch to serious mode, when he realized that he was not wearing a hat.

At this time, Butler Koga asked with some worry: "B-But... the opponent is a vampire, is there really no problem just relying on the few of us?"

Hattori Heiji chuckled and said without hesitation: "You are stupid, there are no vampires in this world~"

"We are acting now to collect evidence of someone's crime..."

At this moment, Hattori Heiji already had a basic framework for the case in his mind.

Vampires definitely don't exist.

The murderer of Tokura Futuro should be Tokura Sakuya, who has been missing.

Therefore, for the safety of the remaining members of the Yancang family, it is the safest approach to temporarily ban the others.

As for Tokura Kakuya, he is a terminal cancer patient and it is physically difficult for him to complete this series of tricks independently.

That's why we need the assistance of the old and still-disguised aunt.

For example, when taking pictures, if the aunt hadn't pressed her body against the pretty boy next to her, the pretty boy's head would have completely blocked the strange shadow in the mirror.

In other words, now we just need to ensure the safety of these people and then find Auntie, and everything will be revealed.

Hattori Heiji looked confident.

And the short Conan saw Hattori Heiji's expression and knew that he had probably figured it out.

Indeed, if this case is treated as a regular case, 70 or 80 of the pieces of the puzzle have been put together.

The method of disappearing in the coffin and the method of creating mysterious shadows in the mirror have been cracked by Qin Zhibo.

Although Tokura Yuya was hanging upside down outside the window just now, it was shocking, but the only one who was not present at that time was the missing eldest sister, and only she could have done something.

or……

It's just that the premise of all this is that vampires don't exist.

The only problem now is that Qin Zhibo's attitude is a bit strange and he is not sure whether the vampire is real.

What if it's true...

At this time, Qin Zhibo suddenly asked the housekeeper: "Mr. housekeeper, when the car accident happened two years ago, were there any other members of the Yincang family in this family?"

"Yes, the people gathered together today also gathered in this bungalow at that time."

"What about Maid Xiaoguang?" Qin Zhibo continued to ask, "Does she know about this?"

Butler Koga shook his head, "My master once specifically told me not to tell her this matter. As for whether he told Xiaoguang himself..."

Conan and Hattori Heiji were a little confused after hearing this, so they asked Qin Zhibo: "Uncle, what does this matter you are talking about have to do with Maid Xiaoguang? Didn't she just come here half a year ago?"

Qin Zhibo explained at this time, "Because Maid Xiaoguang is the child left by the fiancée two years ago."

"What!"

Hattori Heiji's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the original legend corresponded exactly with the current situation.

Originally, he thought it was just Tokura Yuya who wanted to pursue these brothers and sisters for killing his beloved wife.

But if there is a child, then Tokura Sakuya's helper may become this maid.

The motive of revenge for his mother is also very common sense.

So, Hattori Heiji quickly turned around and ran towards the restaurant.

But as soon as he took two steps out, he realized something was wrong.

Looking back, I found that Conan was still standing there, not moving.

"Kudo, what are you doing?"

In his desperation, he forgot to address him again.

Conan stood there and turned to look at Qin Zhibo, feeling a little tangled in his heart.

Because Qin Zhibo didn't seem to intend to go to the restaurant and was still standing there.

"Come here quickly!" Hattori Heiji, who was extremely anxious, urged again.

Because the maid is now staying in the restaurant with the rest of the Tokura family. If she is also an Avenger, then these people will be in trouble.

Conan was urged again, but when he saw Hattori Heiji's eager expression, he still felt worried.

"Hattori, you go first, I'll stay here..."

Conan didn't know what he could do if he stayed here. Anyway, his inner instinct was that he could only uncover the truth by following Qin Zhibo.

Hattori Heiji looked at Conan who was unwilling to move, with a shocked expression on his face.

"That doesn't matter to you!"

Immediately, he turned around and strode towards the restaurant.

Looking at Hattori Heiji's leaving figure, Conan also had mixed feelings in his heart.

If he hadn't known the truth about the world hidden under the surface, he would have run in the direction where the victim was most likely to appear, just like Hattori Heiji.

But now, he is no longer what he used to be.

Conan's eyes were slightly heavy. He turned to look at Qin Zhibo and asked with a 200% serious expression: "You should already have an investigation direction, right?"

"Um."

Qin Zhibo showed a fatherly smile and nodded.

…

In the restaurant, everyone was sitting in their respective seats, each in a daze at their wits' end.

Hattori Heiji suddenly opened the door and rushed in. He glanced around the restaurant, but did not find maid Xiaoguang.

"Where's that Hikari? Why isn't he here!" Hattori Heiji asked anxiously.

Takura Sannan looked up and replied: "If you want to find her, she just said she would make some more coffee and has gone to the kitchen..."

At this time, Tokura Ninan's wife asked again when the police would arrive.

Hattori Heiji relayed Officer Otaki's original words, "It's raining in the mountains now, and the road is not easy to walk. It will be a little later before we arrive."

The glasses girl supported her chin with both hands and murmured: "It seems that tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. I'm already hungry..."

"If I had known earlier, I would have just gone to eat the dumplings made by the girls."

Hattori Heiji was stunned. He remembered that Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha should not have told others about making dumplings.

So Hattori Heiji asked the glasses girl how she knew about this.

"Because just now the girls came to Xiaoguang to borrow the key to the freezer, saying that they made too many dumplings and wanted to store some in the freezer..."

"Xiaoguang also went to the kitchen with them at that time."

After listening to the glasses girl's explanation, Hattori Heiji's eyes were startled, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

If the maid Xiaoguang was Torakura Sakuya's helper, then the missing elder sister was not a helper, but a victim.

They might have worked together to hide the body in the freezer, and that was the only place that had not been searched.

Just as Hattori Heiji was about to turn around and go to the kitchen, the pretty boy walked to the window and looked out, as if he wanted to open the window for some fresh air.

Suddenly, he showed a horrified expression, fell to the ground, and uttered a muttering.

"Ah..."

Hattori Heiji turned his head and looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

The pretty boy stared at the balcony in surprise for two seconds, then slowly turned his head and shook it.

"No, nothing..."

Hattori Heiji looked at the pretty boy's reaction, and of course he could see that it was definitely not an attitude of "nothing".

So he also walked to the French window and stared at the balcony.

But there was nothing here, except a small pool of dried blood on the ground and a few empty pottery jars in the corner.

This was the blood dripping from Torakura II in the attic.

Hattori Heiji took another look at the still frightened little white face, and ran to the kitchen.

…

In the kitchen, Toyama Kazuha took the key ring and tried it one by one against the refrigerator door.

“This one doesn’t work either…”

“Which key is used here? It would be better if there was a label…”

Mauri Ran was holding the wrapped dumplings in the back and comforted: “It’s okay, just try all these keys, you will definitely find it.”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

The two girls were studying how to open the refrigerator door, but a figure suddenly jumped out of the kitchen door.

Mauri Ran subconsciously turned her head and saw that the maid Xiaoguang was staring at them with a ferocious expression, and her mouth was constantly panting.

Saliva dripped from her lips, and the two faint fangs flashed a faint light.

“Miss Xiaoguang…are you okay?”

Mauri Ran was a little at a loss, and could only ask tentatively.

Suddenly, the maid rushed towards them like a hungry tiger.

"Ah——!"

At the critical moment, Mao Lilan threw down the dumpling plate, took out a metal badge from her trouser pocket and pressed it against Xiao Guang's face!

Spread it!

Evenly!
