The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"What?"

After hearing the unreserved confession of the pretty boy, Hattori Heiji was shocked and hurried to the window where Tora Sakura appeared at that time.

He reached out and touched the glass of the top grid of the window. The surface was indeed convex, like a magnifying glass.

A convex mirror will invert the image, that is, the falling picture will become the upward picture.

In other words, the Tora Sakura disappearing upwards that everyone saw at that time should actually be falling downwards.

But at that time, no human head or anything like that was found on the balcony, and there was nothing in the jar.

Hattori Heiji pushed open the French window again and entered the balcony. He carefully searched among the bottles and jars placed on the balcony, but still did not find the so-called canned human head.

Hattori Heiji returned to the room in the restaurant, raised his chin, and sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his mind with a serious face.

If what the pretty boy said was true, then the person who assisted Tora Sakura in committing the crime should be the maid.

But when Tora Sakura appeared in the restaurant, the maid did not run to the window and use her body to cover the falling head.

One of the flaws of this technique is that only the upper glass is a convex mirror, and the lower glass is normal, so you can still see the falling head.

That's why the pretty boy was the first to stand up and run to block it with his body...

After all, the plan that this pretty boy said may not be completely true, and there may be something hidden...

While Hattori Heiji was thinking, the people of the Torakura family sitting at the dining table also started to quarrel.

Torakura Sannan stood up and asked excitedly: "You said Xiaoguang is the biological daughter of the eldest brother, is this true?"

The pretty boy hung his head and responded listlessly, "That's what it says in the plan..."

The girl with glasses walked up to the pretty boy and said with an unhappy face: "You actually want to use me to get the inheritance after the eldest sister's death. It seems that I am really underestimated..."

The pretty boy's shoulders trembled, and he looked up at the girl with glasses, "Mina, I..."

He was about to explain when he was stopped by the girl with glasses.

"Shut up!"

"Although I am disgusted by the fact that my elder sister took you away, my elder sister is sincere to you, but you treat her like this..."

"In the final analysis, you are just a dog that can't be tamed."

After saying that, the girl with glasses cast a contemptuous look and turned away.

The pretty boy looked at the girl with glasses who was leaving him, and tears burst out of his eyes.

This is not that he repented for his behavior of not saving people despite knowing the murder plan, but that he was completely dumped, and he had nothing to do with the inheritance of the Yincang family.

Originally, when he saw the murder plan in the morning, he wanted to carry it out himself.

But then he thought about it, my elder sister had invited the famous detective Qin Zhibo to take charge, and there was no need for him to kill people and challenge the wisdom of the famous detective.

The pretty boy himself was also on the murder list. As long as he waited until it was his turn, he would kill the maid, and no one would be able to say anything.

At that time, he would not have to bear any responsibility and directly reap the benefits. Isn't it beautiful?

But now this plan obviously doesn't work.

The pretty boy opened his mouth slightly, his eyes were dull, and he looked straight ahead with a stupid and stupid expression.

Suddenly, the air in the room twitched strangely.

A tall dark figure appeared behind Hattori Heiji in the blink of an eye, standing between the windowsill and the balcony.

Hattori Heiji was holding his chin to think about the case, and did not notice the strangeness behind him.

The other people from the Torakura family in the restaurant saw the strange figure that suddenly appeared, and they all showed shocked expressions, shuddered, and subconsciously shrank back.

Hattori Heiji only then saw that the expressions of the people in the room were a little wrong, frowned, and asked: "What's wrong with you?"

The pretty boy raised his hand tremblingly and pointed behind Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji realized that there was someone behind him, and the skin on his back shuddered, and he quickly turned around to look.

In the limited field of vision, he saw a cold and serious face under the black hood.

Although the face was full of wrinkles and pale, it looked like a human, but the edges and corners were very similar to those of Torakura Sakuya.

What!

Hattori Heiji was shocked and was about to react, but the other party suddenly waved his hand, causing the black cloak to whip Hattori Heiji's head.

Hattori Heiji was slapped several meters away and fell heavily to the ground in a parabola.

The other people in the restaurant only thought of escaping at this time and fled towards the door.

But as soon as the pretty boy stood up from his seat, the figure flashed and came in front of the pretty boy.

"Ah..."

The pretty boy was frightened and screamed when he saw the pale old face that suddenly flashed in front of him.

The next moment, the other party waved his palm, and the sharp nails on the fingertips cut the pretty boy's throat like a blade.

The pretty boy only felt a sweetness in his throat and a slight pain in his neck, and blood had already flowed out from the position of his Adam's apple.

He subconsciously covered his throat, but the bright red blood continued to flow from his fingers.

The life of the pretty boy also disappeared along with it.

He fell to the ground and struggled in pain, his body twitching like a fish out of water.

The blood that continued to spread dyed the white suit red, and a bright red flower bloomed under the pretty boy's body.

The owner of the figure just looked at it all expressionlessly, letting the blood flow under his feet.

Click!

At this moment, the sound of broken glass products suddenly came from the door of the restaurant.

It turned out that Maid Xiaoguang had come over at some point and was standing at the door staring blankly at this horrifying scene.

The tray and coffee in her hands fell to the ground unconsciously, making a splintered sound.

The old face suddenly turned to the maid, a pair of gray-white pupils were slightly cloudy, but more of a cold and chilling aura.

Only then did Maid Xiaoguang think of running for her life, and turned around to flee.

But the figure flashed again like a ghost and came behind Xiaoguang.

Five emaciated fingers grasped Xiaoguang's white wrist, stopping Xiaoguang's escape.

"ah--!"

Xiaoguang's screams echoed in the corridor, and her body twisted desperately to break free.

But the strength of that figure was even more astonishing, and it directly captured Xiaoguang in its arms.

He ran to the balcony, jumped up, and the bat wings hidden under his cloak suddenly spread out and flew into the distance.

…

When Qin Zhibo and Conan rushed back to the bungalow, they saw all the Yincang family standing at the door of the bungalow tremblingly.

After asking, I learned that a strange man suddenly appeared in the restaurant just now, scaring everyone so much that they didn't dare to stay in the house.

"Does that weirdo have an old face and wear a black cloak?"

"Hmm..." Several people nodded.

Qin Zhibo and Conan looked at each other and immediately entered the bungalow.

The two returned to the restaurant and saw the pretty boy lying in a pool of blood.

Because he had already seen the corpse investigation point, Qin Zhibo did not go up to check.

Conan was still responsible, walked into the pool of blood, and checked the pulse and pupils.

"Already dead..."

Conan glanced at the injury on Xiao Bailian's neck again. It was caused by a sharp instrument piercing the main artery in the neck, resulting in excessive blood loss.

However, there was no suspected murder weapon around.

Qin Zhibo came to the window sill and helped Hattori Heiji, who had fainted, up.

Conan also ran over at this time and shouted to Hattori Heiji, "Hattori! Hattori!"

As his good friend called him, Hattori Heiji opened his eyes slightly and saw that familiar little face.

"Kudo..."

Hattori Heiji's thoughts paused for a few seconds before he suddenly recalled what had just happened.

"There was a weirdo who rushed in just now, and he slapped me away..."

When he thought of that scene, Hattori Heiji felt his cheeks burning and his head felt dizzy.

Qin Zhibo also knew that the person Hattori Heiji was talking about was the person he saw on the cliff just now.

That "Tatsukura Sakuya".

Just then, a siren sounded outside the bungalow.

Conan stood up and ran to the window sill to take a look, then turned back and said, "It's Officer Otaki and the others who are back..."

After going through so much, the police finally arrived too late.

But Qin Zhibo knew that even if the police came, the matter would not be able to end completely.

I still have main tasks to complete.

"You should have a good rest here."

Qin Zhibo helped Hattori Heiji sit aside, then stood up and walked out the door.

Conan immediately understood and followed obediently.

Watching the two people leaving, Hattori Heiji struggled to move his body and asked, "Hey... where are you going?"

Qin Zhibo came to the door, stopped, turned his face sideways, and said: "The next area is not an area that ordinary detectives can touch..."

"What did you say?"

A trace of doubt flashed across Hattori Heiji's slightly narrowed eyes, and he stood up and wanted to catch up.

But the short Conan suddenly raised his hand and fired an anesthetic needle, hitting Hattori Heiji in the forehead.

Suddenly, Hattori Heiji felt that everything around him began to spin. In order to maintain his body balance, his hands and feet began to "dance" unconsciously.

Two seconds later, he sat on the ground again.

…

Coming out of the back door of the bungalow, Qin Zhibo and Conan went straight to the back mountain.

"Why did you shoot Hattori unconscious just now?"

"ah?"

As Conan ran, he glanced at Qin Zhibo next to him, and replied with droopy half-moon eyes: "If I don't knock him out, he will definitely chase him with his character..."

"I'm saying that if the other party doesn't cooperate later, your anesthesia needle may be useful."

"Ah, really? I didn't expect that much..."

In order to protect the world view of his gay friends, Conan also tried his best.

Qin Zhibo also weighed it in his mind. Although Conan's anesthesia needle is a very powerful prop, it is probably still too powerful to deal with a real vampire.

Judging from the current contact, vampires have physical functions that far exceed those of ordinary people, whether it is speed or strength.

There is also the ability to generate bat-winged flight.

On the contrary, this vampire did not reflect the bloodthirsty instinct of vampires that has been repeatedly emphasized in many literary works.

Judging from the other party's behavior, it seems that he is still rational and should be the type that can communicate.

Of course, if communication fails, Qin Zhibo doesn't mind physically passing him by.

Qin Zhibo and Conan ran out of the backyard of the Yincang family house and walked along a trail in the back mountain until they found a cemetery in the valley of the back mountain.

There are dozens of tombstones erected in the cemetery, some are stone monuments, and some are simple wooden monuments.

At the edge of the cemetery, there are more than a dozen thick wooden sticks erected.

Conan observed all this with the help of a flashlight, and the shock in his eyes was not concealed at all.

"This is..."

Qin Zhibo said lightly: "This should be the place where the legendary 'piercing daimyo' executed his brother and his followers."

Conan walked to one of the wooden sticks and reached out to touch it.

Due to the passage of time, the wooden stick has completely turned black, and it has become slippery and sticky due to the rain.

But even so, if you put your nose close to it and sniff it carefully, you can still smell the faint smell of blood.

The legend is actually true...

Conan scanned the wooden sticks one by one, each of which represents a life.

"It should be here."

Qin Zhibo had already come to the other side of the cemetery and continued to walk into the mountains.

Conan hurriedly chased after him and asked: "Is that person Tokura Sakuya?"

"He used the power of a vampire to avenge the person who killed his fiancée two years ago..."

"No."

Before Conan finished speaking, Qin Zhibo gave a negative answer.

"The person we saw on the cliff is actually..."

...

In the cave, a kerosene lamp slowly lit up, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Maid Xiaoguang trembled and huddled on the side of the cave wall, her back pressed tightly against the damp and cold stone wall, and her originally neat maid outfit was also made dirty and messy.

And in her frightened pupils, a tall black figure stood beside the kerosene lamp on the desk.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you..."

The old voice echoed in this deep space, adding a bit of chill.

Such comfort reached Xiaoguang's ears, but it sounded like a threat.

"Who are you?" Xiaoguang asked tremblingly.

The figure was silent for a long time, and did not answer directly, but raised his hand to a coffin in the corner and said in a deep voice.

"Go see your biological father, he is there..."

"Biological father?" Xiaoguang asked in confusion.

Ever since I can remember, my mother said that my biological father had an accident and died before I was born.

Although she had never seen her father's grave, her mother would not lie to her.

However, Xiaoguang did not dare to refute and could only crawl to the coffin tremblingly.

When she slowly pushed open the coffin lid, she saw a man lying in the coffin in a peaceful posture.

That face was one of the people the maid was most familiar with, Torako Hakiya!

"Master!"

Xiaoguang thought that the master she served was asleep in the coffin as usual, and subconsciously grabbed Torako Hakiya's shoulders.

But this force actually moved the head away from the neck that was originally connected.

Seeing the horrifying scene of the body being separated, Xiaoguang was frightened and screamed.

"Ah--!"

The scream lasted for two seconds. Driven by the instinct to survive, Xiaoguang stood up and was about to escape, but was grabbed by the wrist by the man.

"You murderer! Let me go!"

Xiaoguang struggled desperately, and the hairpin on his head was thrown out, and he could not get rid of it at all.

The figure never spoke, but he didn't let go of Xiaoguang's hand.

At this moment, another man's voice came from the cave passage.

"Miss Xiaoguang, you misunderstood..."

"He can't be the murderer of Torakura Hakumiya, because he is the legendary 'Piercing Daimyo'."

"He is also Torakura Hakumiya's father."
