Chapter 539 The Perverted Hobbies of the Suzuki Family Ask for a Monthly Pass ( )
Editor-in-chief Doi finished sipping the tea, put down his cup, and began to humblely ask for manuscripts: "Mr. Tokura, I leave it to you for the new serial that will be published soon."
"Wait until I finish writing the one at hand." Tokura Daisuke turned to his student Tadokoro Toshiya, "Take the red wine and movie tapes to the study. This is the source of my inspiration."
After saying that, he pushed open the corridor door and headed to the study.
Tadokoro Toshiya nodded in agreement and prepared to go to the collection room to get the movie tape.
Just now Daisuke Tokura asked him to show his guests around the collection room.
So when Tadokoro Toshiya stood up, he took the opportunity to invite: "Would you like to go and take a look together? The video tapes collected by Mr. Tokura are all out-of-print treasures and are usually displayed in the collection room. In addition to video tapes, there are many other rare collections there."
Although there is a signal in this villa, it is very poor and it is not convenient to use mobile phones.
Idle time was also idle. Regardless of whether they were interested or not, a group of guests got up and followed him.
The collection room is on the other side of the hall. There is a downward staircase next to the wooden door, which is connected to the underground library. Shuichi Hamura, who is engaged in vampire research, is said to come here often because it contains many vampire-related classics.
Others showed little interest in the documents and went straight to the collection room.
Compared with Daisuke Tokura's study, the collection in the collection room is larger and looks more sinister.
In addition to crosses, silver swords, wooden nails, etc., there is also a vampire mask that looks like human skin, and pale white hands placed in a glass display case.
Toru Amuro looked closer as if nothing had happened and found that the hand was fake. Then he straightened up again and looked away with peace of mind.
In the corner of the collection room, there are two rows of bookshelves as high as the ceiling, which contain countless vampire-related movie and video tapes.
Toshiya Tadokoro took out Daisuke Tokura's favorite movie and introduced it to the paying attention of the guests:
"Takakura-sensei watches a vampire movie every night. It is "Bloody Feast" from 1930. It is his favorite one - the teacher even bought the props used in the movie at a high price."
"The prop in "Bloody Feast"... must be this cypress nail." Jiang Xia looked at a collection on the table.
The cypress wooden nails were placed vertically on a collection shelf covered with black brocade. They were as long as a human forearm, with one end sharpened and a large amount of "blood" splashed on the tip. It looked like it had been nailed into the heart of a vampire. After that
It's like it was pulled out again.
——At the end of the movie "Blood Feast", the vampire was nailed to the cross with such wooden nails and burned in fire.
Tadokoro Toshiya nodded: "There is also a matching cross in the teacher's study - the one you just saw."
"..."
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the realistic fake blood on the wooden nails, and then thought of the cross in Tokura Daisuke's study that was also stained with "blood", and stepped away in disgust.
Speaking of which, Daisuke Tokura, a man who calls himself "Dracula", why did he prepare some vampire hunter props? It's so unlucky... If my sister hadn't been interested in vampires, she would never have come to this weirdo's villa today.
Come here.
...But then I thought about it, if I didn't follow him, I wouldn't be able to meet Jiang Xia.
As Suzuki Sonoko was thinking about it, her thoughts couldn't help but branch off from the vampire exhibit.
——The Tokura family's villa is not big, and the guest rooms should be all together, not far away... Although she will probably be arranged in the same room with her sister at night, she can use the excuse of being afraid to hold her bed in the middle of the night
He ran to find Jiang Xia to lay the floor... Or, Jiang Xia was so considerate, maybe he heard her say she was afraid, so he took the initiative to come to her room, hehehehe...
Toru Amuro faintly heard laughter.
Turning around, he saw Sonoko Suzuki, the female classmate who seemed to be very familiar with Jiang Xia, facing a blood-stained cypress nail, showing a charming smile full of covetousness and yearning.
Toru Amuro: "..."
...It's not just the little boy with glasses. Everyone around Jiang Xia seems to be weird.
...Speaking of it, the Suzuki family is considered a wealthy family. If they want to build a secret room or even a dungeon to hide their eyes from others, it would be easy...Smiling like this at a nail pierced through a humanoid creature, could it be that Suzuki Sonoko has something weird behind his back?
hobby?
...I have to ask my subordinates to check on this family when they have time.
…
Although the exhibits in the collection room are precious, they are not numerous.
A group of people returned to the hall after visiting with their own thoughts.
After delivering the red wine and movies, Toshihiko Tadokoro found a pair of cards for the guests to play with.
While the cards were being shuffled, a man came down the stairs.
——Etsuko Tokura, who had just gone back to her room to rest, reappeared in front of everyone.
She looked at Jiang Xia and said warmly: "Thank you for taking care of me when I was in Danyuan Mountain last time. I have prepared a gift. Can you come with me to get it?"
At the same time, he blinked secretly, indicating that he had something serious to say.
Jiang Xia stood up and followed her upstairs.
Halfway through, I suddenly heard someone behind me.
Looking back, I saw Toru Amuro following suit.
…
As a master of time management who wears many hats, Toru Amuro has a strong sense of planning when doing things.
He still remembers the purpose of this business trip, which is to take Jiang Xia to an unfamiliar place and isolate him for observation.
Although the plan has now been disrupted by endless cases and acquaintances, the week has not yet passed, the final destination has not been reached, and the plan is not over yet. Even if it is for the sake of sunk costs, we must persist.
Get the best possible observations...
Moreover, Toru Amuro always felt that what happened today was too coincidental - the path randomly thrown with dice should have met the requirement of "unfamiliar with the place where he was born", but in just ten minutes, they met three people one after another.
People who know Jiangxia.
As an undercover agent who hides around a group of suspicious people every day, Toru Amuro is inevitably infected with the habits of everyone in the organization and is suspicious of what happened today.
...I have to come and take a look.
…
Etsuko Tokura also discovered that there was an extra tail behind her.
She looked back and hesitated for a moment, realizing that Jiang Xia had no intention of stopping Tohru Amuro. Then she thought about it. This mixed-race boss seemed to be a private detective, and he had never had any negative reports. Or to be precise, there was no such thing as a private detective on the market.
Reports related to Toru Amuro show that his confidentiality seems to be good...
So Etsuko Tokura thought: I heard that in addition to talent, experience accumulation is also important for detectives. Boss Amuro seems to have more experience than Jiang Xia. Since he wants to come, let's come together.
The three people soon came to her room.
Etsuko Tokura opened the door.
After Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru entered one after another, she leaned against the door and closed it, locking it behind her.
…
downstairs.
Suzuki Sonoko went to the bathroom and when she came back, she found that the Jiangxia man was gone.
"?" She looked around and asked her sister doubtfully, "Where is Jiang Xia?"
