Conan gritted his teeth, ignoring the muddy water under his feet that stained his shoes, and chased after the figure running in front of him.
After passing through a small bush and arriving at an open space, the figure in front of me suddenly stopped.
Conan also subconsciously stopped and, while maintaining a safe distance, quietly opened the cap of the watch-shaped anesthesia needle.
I saw the man standing at the edge of the open space, with a cliff more than ten meters high in front of him, and there was no way to go.
Conan frowned tightly, and just as he was about to speak to persuade the other party to rein in the situation, he was pushed back by a big hand from behind.
Qin Zhibo blocked Conan behind him and stared at the figure.
The man was wearing a black raincoat, and the rain-soaked surface gave off a strange, uneven shimmer under the illumination of night light.
Qin Zhibo took a deep breath and asked, "Is it Tokura Sakuya?"
"I've been waiting for you for a long time..."
From the content of the main mission, Qin Zhibo already knew that there was a real vampire in this mansion, and that was Tokura Yuya.
However, according to the result of the Searching Object Curse, Torakura Yuya basically stayed in the forest outside the mansion.
At that time, while searching for a secret passage in the coffin room, the animal commotion in the forest was caused by Tosakura Sakuya.
If Qin Zhibo searches for it alone, he cannot ensure the safety of everyone in the bungalow.
Until now, Tosura Tokura has accomplished his goal, and there is no reason to pose any danger to the people in the bungalow anymore.
"Your purpose is to avenge your fiancée who was in a car accident two years ago, right?"
"At that time, Tokura Mamoru, Tokura Masin, and the maid who was killed by you half a year ago, they were all accomplices."
"They fabricated the news that Miss Xiaoguang was critically ill in the hospital, which led to the death of your fiancée, right?"
Facing Qin Zhibo's question, the figure standing on the edge of the cliff swayed slightly, but did not answer.
After a moment of silence, he slowly turned around.
Under the hood of a dark raincoat, a pale face was exposed to the sight of Qin Zhibo and Conan.
The turbid translucent liquid flowed down the ravaged face, as terrifying as a white candle about to melt.
Seeing this face, Conan was startled and leaned back subconsciously.
This person should be Tokura Sakuya
However, compared to the photos that were developed during the family group photo just now, in less than two hours, Tokura Sakuya seemed to have aged at least twenty years.
When Qin Zhibo saw this face, his eyes flashed with shock.
"There is one more..."
The man opened his mouth slightly and faintly murmured a few words.
Suddenly, a purple thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, illuminating the horrified face.
boom!
The whole sky made a rumbling explosion sound.
The figure standing on the edge of the cliff turned around and jumped into the cliff without hesitation.
The moment the figure disappeared, Qin Zhibo and Conan hurried to catch up and check.
But before the two of them could run a few meters away, a bat-shaped shadow soared into the sky, just like Kaitou Kid's hang glider, even more nimbly soaring in the sky.
Qin Zhibo and Conan raised their heads and watched as the long and narrow shadow of the bat made a large circle in mid-air, then turned around and flew towards the bungalow on the top of the mountain.
"not good!"
Qin Zhibo's expression changed and he immediately said: "Go back quickly!"
…
In the bungalow, the maid told Hattori Heiji the news from the bungalow security guard.
"What did you say?!"
"Is that eldest sister dead?"
Hattori Heiji's expression was startled, and after he came to his senses, he turned around and ran outside.
But Maid Xiaoguang quickly stretched out her hand and shouted: "That Detective Qin said that no one should be allowed to leave this bungalow!"
"What?"
Hattori Heiji frowned and immediately understood that the person who found the body was Qin Zhibo.
Wherever Qin Zhibo is, of course there is Conan.
"What else did they say?"
Maid Xiaoguang shook her head, "I don't know...but the guards said Mr. Qin seemed to be chasing someone..."
"Chasing someone?"
Hattori Heiji frowned and raised his eyes to scan the people present.
Apart from the dead members of the Tokura family, the only one left is Tokura Sakuya.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Hattori Heiji's mind, his eyes lit up, and he thought of something.
"I see……"
"Since the uncle asked us to stay together and not leave, let's go to the restaurant and stay there."
"By the way, I, Hattori Heiji, will reveal the truth tonight."
Hattori Heiji's face showed an extremely confident smile.
…
Everyone returned to the restaurant and sat down on their seats. Hattori Heiji also started his own reasoning.
"First of all, regarding the mystery of the missing coffin and the mystery of the mysterious shadow in the mirror that appeared earlier tonight, I believe everyone is already aware of the methods involved, so I won't go into details..."
"It can be seen from these two methods that the murderer is not a vampire, but an ordinary human being."
"Tatsuya Tokura is undoubtedly one of the murderers, and his motive is to avenge his fiancée who died two years ago."
"But his body has cancer, and he needs an helper to help him complete his murder plan when he is exhausted."
"I just speculated that the person who assisted him was the eldest daughter who disappeared for several hours, but the body of the eldest daughter has been found in the forest."
"Then the only remaining accomplice is one of you here..."
As soon as Hattori Heiji finished speaking, the three men present, the wife of Tora Kura Ni, the girl with glasses and the pretty boy all showed shocked expressions.
After a while, the second man's wife asked Hattori Heiji with an unhappy look on her face: "Have you had enough? Why do you always point the finger at people like us?"
"Just now, we said that the eldest sister was an accomplice, and now one of us is an accomplice..."
Faced with the question, Hattori Heiji remained calm. Instead, he turned to look at the pretty boy closest to him and smiled lightly.
"That Tokura Sakuya's accomplice is you... Mr. Hanekawa."
As soon as these words came out, other people present were in an uproar and looked at the pretty boy in shock.
The pretty boy's shoulders trembled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he grinned slightly, not knowing what to say.
But soon, he came to his senses and defended himself.
"You, what are you talking about?!"
"How could I be an accomplice?"
The pretty girl's reaction was completely expected by Hattori Heiji, which made the latter smile contemptuously and start to reason.
"Actually, it's very simple to know that you are an accomplice. When I learned about the blood type on the coffin from the police, I already started to suspect and pay attention to you..."
"At that time, the police report only mentioned the blood type, but you directly asked if you could let the police investigate in more detail, such as DNA identification."
"This shows that you have known for a long time that the blood must be from Tokura Sakuya himself, and you thought it was because the police identification was wrong."
"But you don't know that cancer can sometimes cause a patient's blood type to temporarily change, such as type A becoming type AB, or type O becoming type B..."
Xiao Bai's face was blank. This was the first time he had heard of such unorthodox knowledge.
Hattori Heiji continued to reason: "Also, what I just assumed was that the eldest daughter was Tokura Sakuya's accomplice. She blocked you with her arm at that time, so that the mirror with the human face was just free."
"But now judging from the position of the group photo, you, who is also standing in the last row, may have put your arm against the eldest daughter to make the mirror space free."
"Now that the eldest daughter is dead, the only possibility left is that you are the accomplice..."
"Also when everyone was gathering in the restaurant, Tokura Sakuya suddenly appeared outside the window, and you were the first one to rush over and open the curtains."
"This should also be a trick that you and Tokura Yuya discussed, such as using a prosthetic made in advance to create the effect of hanging upside down from the eaves."
"In order to prevent this plan from being discovered, you rushed over first and blocked the way for others to open the window."
"And when I came to the restaurant for the second time to look for someone, you opened the window as if you were frightened by something. Was it also to recover some evidence?"
Although Hattori Heiji's reasoning is not really solid evidence, it all hits the key points and pain points.
The other three members of the Tokura family looked at the pretty boy, their eyes becoming more shocked and uneasy. Apparently they had begun to believe Hattori Heiji's conclusion.
The pretty boy looked at the expressions of the other three people and knew that if he didn't confess, he might really be identified as the murderer.
"Yes! I knew the master's plan in advance, but I am not the murderer!"
"The real murderer is the mistress's child, the maid!"
The pretty boy suddenly shouted, and everyone was shocked by what he shouted.
Torakura Sannan quickly asked: "Is the person you are talking about Xiaoguang?"
"Yes! That's her!"
The pretty boy nodded vigorously and then told his experience.
It turns out that the pretty boy and the old woman came here this morning.
When the pretty boy went to the bathroom in the morning, he saw the charging cell phone on the sink and it suddenly rang.
Out of curiosity, he opened the text message he received on his phone and found that it was sent to Xiaoguang by Torakura Sakiya, saying that he wanted to ask her to meet in Nanman's room.
"Because I know that the maid is the child brought by the master's fiancée, so I am worried about what impact it will have on the distribution of the inheritance tonight, so I want to sneak over to see the situation."
"But when I arrived at Nanman's room, I saw..."
The pretty boy's voice suddenly trembled, as if he was recalling something terrible.
Hattori Heiji quickly asked sharply, "What did you see?!"
The pretty boy raised his head and replied: "I saw a corpse on the guillotine, and it was the corpse of the master!"
"Master's body?" Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes slightly and confirmed again, "Is it the body of Tokura Sakuya?"
The boy nodded tremblingly, "It's his... Although it was very dark at the time, I could see it clearly..."
"There was a pool of blood near the guillotine. The master's head was cut off by the guillotine, and the body was separated..."
"Beside the body was a letter and a remote control with a murder plan written on it."
"Murder plan?"
Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes slightly, and as the boy explained, the thoughts in his mind became even more confusing.
The pretty boy nodded, "Yes, that murder plan was left for Xiaoguang. The content is probably about a series of things that happened tonight."
"Originally I wanted to use this plan, but then I thought, if Xiaoguang uses the above plan to get rid of some heirs, I can inherit more inheritance..."
Suddenly, Hattori Heiji interrupted him and made a brilliant point.
"But if the eldest daughter is also the target of being eliminated in the plan, and you don't have a partner, wouldn't you be unable to inherit the inheritance?"
The pretty boy lowered his head, glanced at the bespectacled girl sitting opposite, and replied: "If the baby dies, I plan to get back together with Mina..."
Yes, that's the name of the girl with glasses.
Hattori Heiji took a look at the bespectacled girl's reaction and noticed the surprise on her expression. It seemed that she did have such a plan.
"Then what?" Hattori Heiji continued to ask.
"Then I left the room and I didn't touch anything in the room..."
The pretty boy stated with slumped shoulders, "When I went to check the Nanman's room again at noon, the corpse, plan and remote control were all gone. It was as if nothing had happened."
"So I thought that Xiaoguang had already adopted the murder plan proposed by the master..."
Hattori Heiji frowned slightly, thinking about the feasibility of the statement put forward by the pretty boy.
If Tokura Sakuya is dead, then Maid Hikaru was not in the photo room when the photo was taken. As long as she was holding the head in the closet in the next room, that effect could have been created.
As for other methods, the maid does have the opportunity to implement them, as long as there is the body of Tokura Sakuya.
However, we couldn't just listen to what the pretty face said about the right and wrong. He continued to ask: "Then what was Maid Xiaoguang's motive for killing?"
The pretty boy replied: "It's the same as what you just said, to avenge the mistress who died two years ago..."
"Also, that maid is actually the master's biological daughter..."
As soon as these words came out, the other three people in the Yincang family suddenly looked shocked.
If he already had a biological daughter, Tokura Yuya would also summon these people to distribute the inheritance. Sure enough, he was taking revenge for that matter.
But Hattori Heiji still frowned and held his chin, feeling that something was wrong about this matter.
He felt that the Xiaoguang maid did not look like a person who would kill people.
And if the maid is the murderer, there is no need for her to tell about the text message Toakura Yuya sent to her.
In addition, what the pretty boy said still doesn't make sense.
"Then when I came to the restaurant to find maid Xiaoguang, why were you suddenly frightened and fell to the ground when you went to the balcony?"
"Isn't that for processing evidence?"
When Hattori Heiji asked this question, the pretty boy's face suddenly turned pale and he exclaimed: "No!"
"I'm here to see the head that should have fallen into the clay pot!"
"According to the master's murder plan, the head hanging upside down from the eaves should have fallen into the jar, because the top piece of glass in the window was replaced with a convex mirror, which can turn the falling into flying upward..."
"But when I went to check, there was no head in the jar!"
