The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"Puncture... daimyo?"

Xiaoguang stared in horror, subconsciously repeating this familiar yet unfamiliar word.

Conan, who was standing next to Qin Zhibo, stared closely at the figure under the shadow of the kerosene lamp. He was highly concentrated and did not dare to relax at all.

Is that a real... vampire?

The moment he heard this answer from Qin Zhibo for the first time, he was also shocked.

Because he thought that the so-called vampire was Tokura Sakuya who had been disappearing all this time.

In fact, even Qin Zhibo thought this was the case before he looked at him on the cliff.

Qin Zhibo stood in the passage at the entrance of the cave, his slightly narrowed eyes scanning the man's head under the shadow of the lamp.

[Name: Tokura Sukemoru]

[Gender: Male]

【Age: 178】

…

It was only when Qin Zhibo saw this information that he realized that the person he was following was not Tokura Sakuya.

This is why this time the finding spell works sometimes and sometimes fails to produce any results.

Although Tokura Sukemori looks very similar to Tokura Kakuya, they are at least twenty years older in appearance.

"If I guess correctly, you are the third generation head of the Yincang family in the black and white photo displayed in the Yincang family's photo studio..."

Faced with Qin Zhibo's question, Tokura Sukemori paused for two seconds and replied in a deep voice: "Yes."

"That photo was taken almost 100 years ago..."

Qin Zhibo nodded and continued: "The person in the photo looks very similar to Tokura Sakuya, but he is not at all like the other members of the Tokura family, so I have some doubts..."

Upon hearing this, Conan suddenly recalled that he had seen that photo in the photo studio, but ignored it.

But Qin Zhibo remembered this important clue.

"The reason why the other members of the Tokura family look nothing like the people in the photo is because they are not the real heirs of the Tokura family."

"Only Tokura Gakuya is your biological son, the Linzi who was finally born to the legendary 'Piercing Daimyo'."

The figure in the shadow of the lamp swayed, and then sat on the seat next to him. He seemed to be tired and breathed heavily.

"You are right, only Shimi is my biological son..."

"As for the others, they are all adopted by Xue Mi over the years... Strictly speaking, they are all Xue Mi's children."

Hearing this, Conan's mind exploded.

This huge amount of information made him unable to accept it for a while. How can brothers and sisters become the relationship between father and child?

And the one who also couldn't accept this was Maid Xiaoguang.

Her eyes widened in shock, and she murmured in a daze: "This is impossible..."

Tokura Sukemosu lowered his eyes to Xiaoguang who was sitting on the ground, and said calmly: "This is true."

"The child Mina is very kind. He longs to form a normal family like a human being instead of living alone."

"The vampire is almost infertile, so he adopts some children, takes care of them until they grow up, and then becomes one of them and continues to maintain this bond."

"But it was this kindness that ultimately killed the woman he loved most in his life..."

"Almost killed his only biological child..."

"That's you, Hikaru."

Tokura Sukemoru looked at Xiaoguang, and his cold and pale pupils actually exuded a faint warmth.

Xiaoguang stared blankly, feeling in an extremely contradictory situation for a while.

On the one hand, she is afraid of the existence of men and the so-called "vampires".

On the other hand, she longed to know her own life experience and why she was born in this world.

These two thoughts made her unable to do anything for a while, and she could only sit blankly.

At this time, Qin Zhibo spoke quietly, breaking the silent atmosphere.

"I think it's better to tell everything you know now."

"Miss Xiaoguang should also have the right to know about this..."

Tokura Sukemoru looked at Xiaoguang, saw a glimmer of desire flashing through his widened pupils, and nodded in agreement.

"Okay then, let me tell you the story of what happened to me..."

"I think you all know what happened before I became the 'Piercing Daimyo' from legends, so I won't go into details."

"I'll start from then on..."

Next, Tokura Sukemoru talked about his story.

"After the daimyo was impaled, I no longer trusted anyone and dismissed most of my subordinates and servants."

"With the end of the Edo period and the beginning of the Meiji era, I sold off the old assets in my family, became a new type of noble, and raised Okuya."

"One of the characteristics of a vampire is that the more human blood it sucks, the more powerful it will be, but the greater the negative effects it will bring."

"I became more and more afraid of ultraviolet rays in the sun, until I couldn't travel during the day at all."

"In order to solve the negative effects of vampires, Sumi became a doctor, and later opened a hospital to treat various blood diseases."

"However, most human blood diseases are terminal illnesses that cannot be cured, and many patients end up dying in the hospital."

"So, Miya began to adopt orphans who had no one to care for them when they were born and died in the hospital, and played the role of their biological father."

"Until one day 27 years ago, a woman came to Sumi's hospital."

"The woman suffered from chronic renal failure, which was in an advanced stage. Her husband disappeared because he did not want to bear the never-ending medical bills and sky-high surgical fees."

"However, that woman has an optimistic personality and doesn't seem to be troubled by her situation. She still greets Sakuya with a smile every day."

"The woman's optimistic character infected Xue Mi, and Xue Mi paid all the medical expenses for that woman."

"Later, the hospital waited for a suitable kidney source and performed a transplant for the woman. After she recovered and was discharged from the hospital, Omi and the woman naturally became husband and wife."

"However, in order not to affect other children in the family, their relationship was not made public at first."

"Until one day, that woman miraculously became pregnant..."

Speaking of this, Tokura Sukemoru's voice trembled slightly.

"The fertility of vampires is close to none. Vampires and vampires cannot have children. The probability of reproduction between vampires and humans is also close to zero."

"But Sumi has created miracles just like me back then."

"But in order to protect the child and prevent the child from knowing the truth that his biological father is actually a vampire, Koya did not take the child with him, but stayed with his biological mother to raise him."

"It wasn't until that child grew up and had enough ability to protect himself that Sakuya recognized that child."

"That child is you, Hikaru."

Tokura Sukemomo bent down, brought his face close to Xiaoguang, and stared carefully into those still somewhat confused eyes.

"Although I haven't met your mother much, you do look a lot like your mother, especially your eyes..."

Tokura Sukemamo straightened up and sat back in his chair, and continued: "Although your mother had a kidney transplant and has lived for more than 20 years, it was not her own organ, so the disease eventually relapsed."

"As a last resort, I can only transform your mother into a vampire so that she can continue to live."

"Your mother also made a three-part agreement with Sumi. The two of them agreed not to drink human blood again and to live only on animal blood."

"Two years ago, you suddenly fell ill and were hospitalized in Xue Mi's hospital. It was Xue Mi who performed the surgery for you personally."

"At that time, your operation was successful, but the other adopted sons in the family were worried that your mother's presence would take away all the inheritance, so they asked the maid named Qingshui to tell your mother that you were critically ill."

"Your mother was so distraught that she had a car accident on the way to the hospital that night..."

"After your mother passed away, although Shouya was heartbroken, after all, he still had you as the pillar of his survival."

"It wasn't until half a year ago that the maid named 'Qingshui' came to Shouya privately and said that she knew the secret that Shouya was a vampire, and hoped that Shouya would transform herself into a vampire, otherwise she would tell the secret."

"In order to save her own life, she also let other servants know that she had discovered some secrets about Shouya, saying, 'If she dies, the murderer will be Shouya or something like that'..."

"But she didn't know that vampires have the ability to read minds. As long as the target is frightened, she can forcibly read some of the memories in the target's mind."

"After reading Qingshui's memory, Sakuya learned that the car accident two years ago was planned by those adopted sons together with her."

"The reason why she found out that Sakuya was a vampire was because she went to the place where the car accident happened in the early morning after the rain stopped on the day of the accident."

"She saw with her own eyes that the car rolled over the cliff, and your mother was stabbed in the abdomen by a wooden stake that came out of the car window, but she was still alive."

"She kept this incident in mind, and lurked in the Tokura family to conduct a lot of investigations, and finally determined that the vampire incident was true."

"After knowing the truth, I couldn't forgive that woman, so I asked me to kill her."

Hearing this, Conan's expression suddenly became alarmed.

It turns out that the death of the Shimizu maid half a year ago was really caused by a vampire draining her blood, but it was not Tokura Sukeya who killed her, but his father Tonakura Sekomaru.

However, in order not to be suspected by the police afterwards, Tokura Sakuya used the chef to create an alibi for himself.

The scheming maid probably didn't expect that there was more than one vampire.

Such a shocking truth, if it weren't for Qin Zhibo, he probably wouldn't have thought of it even if he tried hard.

Tokura Sukemomo continued: "After that, Sakuya used scares countless times to test which of the children he adopted were involved in the plan, and finally determined the list of murderers."

"However, during this period, his body developed a cancerous reaction because he did not drink human blood for a long time, and the blood began to deteriorate."

"Once the blood starts to deteriorate, it means death."

"But even if the list of murderers is confirmed, the kind-hearted Shouya is not willing to kill the adopted sons he has adopted since childhood."

"So he made a murder plan and cut off his head just to give you all the choices."

"Xiaoguang..."

Tokura Sukemoru reached into his arms, took out an envelope, and handed it to Xiaoguang's hand.

Xiaoguang took the envelope with both hands and opened it. The words inside covered the paper.

It is densely written with various complex and cumbersome murder plans, such as the mystery of the missing coffin, the mysterious shadow in the mirror, and hanging from the eaves, all of which require the use of Torakura Sakiya's own head.

The purpose of this is to allow the police to investigate afterwards and target all suspects at Tokura Sakiya.

And Torakura Sakoya also explained most of Xiaoguang's life experience, such as Xiaoguang is Torakura Sakoya's biological daughter, and her mother was killed by Torakura's second son, Torakura's eldest daughter, a pretty boy, and Shimizu maid.

At the end of this murder plan, there is a sentence like this.

[If you have forgiven all this, destroy the flame of revenge in my body along with this murder plan - Torakura Sakoya]

When Xiaoguang saw this line, her eyes were already wet with crystal warm liquid.

Conan looked at the plan from a distance. Although he couldn't see the content clearly, he could guess it from tonight's experience.

At this time, Inakura Sakaya handed a handkerchief to Xiaoguang, and then continued: "Actually, after Sakaya sent a text message this morning and committed suicide under the guillotine, I have been staying in the shadow of that room."

"I want to confirm your choice with my own eyes, confirm whether you choose revenge like I did back then, or forget the pain inflicted by those people..."

"But what I waited for was not you, but the man named 'Hekawa'."

"He sneaked into the room and saw Sakaya's body and the murder plan."

"I originally thought he might report the murder plan, but I still underestimated the evil of human nature."

"He planned to pretend that he knew nothing and use You will execute the murder plan, reduce the number of heirs, and then when you kill him in the end, he will kill you in return."

"I learned his true thoughts through mind reading, and I also realized that as long as this group of greedy people are around, you can't be truly safe."

"So I executed most of the plans according to the contents of the plan."

"Of course, some methods are specially formulated by Hakumiya for you who have not yet awakened your vampire abilities, so I don't need those methods."

"Now, the humans who can threaten you have basically been eliminated..."

"Only the two people in front of me are missing."

Inakura Jieshou's tone suddenly became harsh, and his cold pupils stared at Qin Zhibo and Conan not far away.

He stood up from the chair, his thin and withered palms were like an open blade, and his words were full of murderous intent.

"Although we have no grudges, I must get rid of you for Xiaoguang's future."

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo and Conan were immediately shocked.

Qin Zhibo immediately pushed Conan behind him, and prepared to draw the [Sword of the Oath Keeper] with his other hand.

At this moment, Xiaoguang suddenly stood up and rushed forward, blocking the way with his arms open.

"Please don't kill for me anymore!"

"Grandpa!"
