Before Hattori Heiji finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hikaru Hibara who hurried upstairs.
"No, it's not good!"
Hibara Hikaru ran to the second floor and said anxiously, "The guard came just now to report that a body was found in the forest in front of the mansion!"
The rain outside the house became heavier and heavier, and Hattori Heiji and Conan ran out in the rain.
Chi Feichi looked at the heavy rain outside at the door, then decisively turned around and went to the restaurant with the rest of the Tokura family to wait for the news, and even pulled Nanatsuki Koshimizu along with him.
Half an hour later, the clock hands passed twelve o'clock, and Hattori Heiji and Conan came back from the forest, all wet, and told the others waiting in the restaurant the bad news.
What the guard found in the forest was the body of his eldest sister, Mamoru Tokura.
Hattori Heiji and Conan did not elaborate on the specific situation. When they talked about the identity of the deceased, Hattori Heiji said that he had asked the guard to cover the body with a tarpaulin, and called the police to tell the police about the situation and asked others not to do so.
To touch the body.
Hanekawa Johei broke down and cried bitterly, and his superb acting skills made Rikuge Koga feel chills all over his body.
Tokura Chili also cried, but she was more frightened.
Especially when Heiji Hattori mentioned the strangeness of the incident - there was always a guard guarding the door. Except for Kogoro Mori and Goro Otaki who drove out, the guard didn't see anyone going out. I don't know what happened to Mamoru Tokura.
Out into the forest.
Torakura Kiri felt more and more that the owner of the hall, Torakura Yukiya, had turned into a vampire. She carried Torakura Mamoru and flew outside to kill people. She was so frightened that she couldn't calm down and asked to go back to her room to rest.
Chi Feichi did not stop the Tokura family from leaving, but reminded Tokura Kishi to help Tokura Kori, Tokura Shina to check the room, and allowed everyone including Hanekura Johei to leave.
Hattori Heiji believed that Chi Feichi had his own plans and did not stop him.
Koga Rikuzo sent the Torakura family out and asked the maid to look after Torakura and the others. However, he did not leave. After silently watching the Torakura family leave, he returned to the restaurant and asked in a low voice.
, "They have all left. Can I take you to that room now?"
"Wait another two minutes, wait until they enter the room, and then we will go over." Chi Feichi sat where he was, took out his phone and checked the time, "Be quiet when you go over, so you don't get discovered."
Koga Rikuzhong nodded seriously, "I understand."
Chi Feichi said to Hattori Heiji who looked curious, "In two minutes, let's exchange the clues we have."
Rikuzo Koga stretched out his hand and pulled the restaurant door back a little, leaving a gap. He stood behind the door gap and stared at the situation outside, assuming a posture to help guard the door.
Hattori Heiji watched the interaction between the two, feeling a little surprised. He smiled and joked, "It seems that Brother Feichi and Mr. Butler have become allies."
Conan: "..."
More than just an alliance, looking at the attitude of Butler Koga, it seems that the butler of the Torakura family is about to become the butler of the Chi family.
"Okay," Hattori Heiji wanted to know what clues Ike Feichi had and why he believed that Koga Rikushige was not a bad person. He put away the smile on his face and looked at Ike Feichi seriously and said, "Then, let's communicate.
We each have clues, but when we were inquiring about the news from the maid, Nanatsuki-san sent you a message and told you some news, right? I don’t know how much you already know, so I’ll just tell you briefly..."
As he said that, Hattori Heiji took out the notepad he carried with him, opened it, and looked at the records on the page, "First of all, we found out the time when Mr. Mashin and others arrived at the mansion, the situation when they arrived, such as what they were carrying
The maids provided a lot of information about what they had, how they were feeling, and whether there was anything unusual."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki and Conan also took out their own notebooks, opened them and compared them.
The restaurant suddenly had the atmosphere of a formal meeting, which surprised Rikushige Koga.
Let alone others, that seven or eight-year-old boy actually participated in the discussion of the murder case in a serious manner?
Today's children are really precocious.
Conan was immersed in the clues of the incident, and did not notice that Rikushige Koga glanced at him more curiously, actively joined the communication queue, looked at his notepad and said, "The second clue is Mr. Sakuya, the owner of the museum.
I bought a lot of things for children online before. The maid, Ms. Xiaoguang, remembered that there was an inflatable swimming pool for children and an airplane packed in a big box. She had not opened the box to look at it, but she was sure that the box was very big, so we suspected.
The black shadow we saw fluttering in the night sky before was the toy airplane with moving wings that Mr. Soya bought online."
Hattori Heiji saw a bit of surprise on Koga Rikushige's face and asked with a smile, "Mr. Koga doesn't seem to know that the owner of the museum bought these things?"
Koga Rikuzo didn't hide anything and nodded calmly, "Yes, the master didn't tell me about this, and I didn't see the things he bought."
"The third clue is that Miss Xiaoguang received an email from Mr. Sakuya this morning," Koshizui Nanatsuki also looked at the housekeeper Koga Rikushige and said seriously, "Mr. Sakuya asked her to go to Nanman's room after breakfast.
Don’t tell anyone, especially the butler.”
Koga Rikushige's face that had just regained his composure showed a hint of surprise again. The reason for the surprise was not that the owner of the museum asked Hibara Hikaru to hide it from him, but...
"Nanman's room?"
"Huh?" Hattori Heiji asked curiously, "Is this room special?"
"Koshisui told you about the story of the ancestors of the Tokura family before. I asked Mr. Koga to confirm that the story is spread among the Tokura family and the surrounding area," Chi Feichi looked at Hattori Heiji with a calm and serious look.
, "The ancestor of the Yincang family who ruled here married a beautiful concubine and had his own heir. On a stormy night, the concubine mysteriously fell off a cliff and died. The angry ancestor of the Yincang family investigated the truth behind it and stabbed him to death with a wooden stake.
The younger brother who was the real culprit and other accomplices... This is the version told by Koshimizu, and this story was supplemented by the Koga steward. When the ancestors of the Tokura family were investigating, they used the torture instruments they brought from Nanman to torture them.
After finding out the servant who served the side room, he found out that the murderer behind the plan was his younger brother. The Nanman torture instruments and the room where the servants were tortured were preserved and are still in this mansion.
The Nanban room that Miss Xiaoguang went to is also the place I asked Mr. Koga to show us next."
"It turns out that Nanman's room is where torture instruments are kept," Hattori Heiji looked at Koga Rikuzo in surprise and asked, "Are those torture instruments real? Can they still be used now?"
Koga Rikuzo's expression returned to calmness, and he nodded seriously, "Those are all handed down from the ancestors of the Tokura family. They are torture instruments made of solid wood and iron, and there are chairs equipped with sharp iron spikes, which are used for cutting.
The guillotine on the neck and the pliers that can cut off fingers. Although no one in the later generations should have used those torture instruments, because they were passed down from the ancestors, each generation of the Yincang family will specially arrange people to maintain the torture instruments, so most of them should be
It can still be used."
"It's too dangerous to have such a thing at home," Hattori Heiji broke into a cold sweat after hearing this, and frowned and asked, "But why did the owner of the hotel let Miss Xiaoguang go to that room? According to Miss Xiaoguang, the owner of the hotel said
Others are very harsh, but they have never scolded her and have always taken good care of her. Why would the owner of the hotel ask Miss Xiaoguang to talk in such a scary room? Does he have some bad taste to scare young girls? Or is it?
, he has actually been secretly abusing the maid with a torture device?"
Chi Feichi: "..."
This idea is really big.
"No, Master, he has no bad taste in scaring young maids, nor has he tortured anyone with torture instruments." Rikushige Koga quickly testified for his master's reputation. After speaking, he frowned in confusion, "But it's very rare."
Strange, the situation I know is a little different from what you said. Master, he complained to me more than once about Xiaoguang, saying that she was clumsy and could not do anything well. She was completely different from her mother. In fact, she would come here to work as a maid.
, it was also because she couldn’t find a job after graduation that she begged the master to allow her to come here as a maid.”
"Wha, what?" Hattori Heiji asked Koga Rikushige in surprise, "Isn't it the man who heard that Miss Xiaoguang didn't find a job and took the initiative to invite her to come here as a maid?"
"No," Riku Koga frowned and affirmed, "My master told me that she moved out of her deceased mother and asked for my help, so he allowed her to come and work."
Conan looked at Koga Rikushige in surprise, and also secretly observed the changes in Koga Rikushige's facial expressions.
what happened?
The maid, Miss Xiaoguang, said that she was well cared for by the owner of the hotel, and it was the owner who asked her to come here to work. However, the housekeeper said exactly the opposite. Miss Xiaoguang asked for the job, and the owner of the hotel was also very dissatisfied with Miss Xiaoguang...
…
Did one of the two lie?
But Miss Xiaoguang spoke very frankly, and now there is no guilty reaction on Butler Koga's face.
If it wasn't for the superb acting skills of these two people, could it be that... the owner of the museum lied? Deliberately conveying wrong information to one of the two people?
