Or is it related to his fiancée?

It looks like it's going to rain...

In the villa's corridor, the members of the Yincang family met again, but judging from their expressions, they still hadn't come up with anything.

"We've searched the whole place, but we still can't find our eldest brother."

Torakura Kishi asked the long-haired woman, "Where's Mashin-nii?"

The long-haired woman responded, "He should be smoking in the smoking room. He said he called his older brother's cell phone many times, but the calls were all recorded."

“Perhaps Brother Pomi left his phone somewhere,” the woman with glasses said, taking out her phone to check. “I sent him an email 30 minutes ago, but I haven’t heard back yet.”

"beep!"

As they were talking, everyone's phones rang. The Torakura family members, including Hanekawa Johei, all received an email from Torakura Sakumi at the same time.

"yes, Sir!"

"Now I'm going to tell you my answer: restaurant gathering. Here's what I said."

"Mine too, it's a mass email, is it finally going to start?"

Excited and nervous, the group quickly found the butler and returned to their seats in the restaurant.

Akatsuki and Conan also accompanied the maid Hikaru Hibari to the scene to witness the event.

"Are there still two people missing?" Conan keenly noticed that neither the eldest daughter of the Torakura family nor the square-faced Torakura Mashin was there.

“Yeah, anyway, all the representatives are here,” the bespectacled woman said, sipping her coffee and turning to her older sister’s lover, who was also her ex-boyfriend, Hanekawa Johei, with a teasing tone. “But you’re not worried about Mamoru and your sister not finding each other yet.”

"She often runs off to some place on a whim," Hanekawa Johei said nonchalantly, "and always comes back on her own when I'm worried."

"You'd better hurry up, it wasn't easy for you to hook up with a rich woman, was it?"

"Don't worry, I'll go back to you, my ex-girlfriend, as soon as I get tired of you."

Hanekawa Johei chatted and laughed with the woman wearing glasses.

“However,” Torakura Kishiji said sleepily, resting his chin on his hand, “it’s already started raining, how much longer are we going to have to wait? And Mashin-kun, how long are you going to keep smoking?”

"Could it be that he didn't receive his older brother's email?"

"what!!"

As Shin's wife, a long-haired woman, took out her phone to contact her husband, the maid Hibari Hikaru standing behind her suddenly screamed, startling everyone.

"What's wrong with you?"

"There was a strange shadow on the window just now." The maid, Hibari Hikari, was also aggrieved; she was always the one who noticed strange things.

Chapter 547 Are there really vampires?

"What strange shadow?"

Sitting by the window, Hanekawa Johei got up in confusion and pulled back the balcony curtains. His gaze met that of Torakura Sakumi, who was hanging upside down outside the window like a vampire. His body froze on the spot, his eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes..."

"how is this possible?"

Everyone saw Torakura Sakumi peeking out from above; his fangs and pointed ears were clearly visible, and his pale face sent chills down their spines.

"It really is the eldest brother!"

"My brother really turned into a vampire!"

"Impossible!" Hanekawa Johei opened the window, his face turning pale. "He's definitely hanging upside down by a rope or something."

"Wow!"

Before the window was fully opened, Torakura Sakumi shrunk up and disappeared completely when everyone went to the balcony to check. It was as if he had flown away.

Even more shockingly, as a bolt of lightning illuminated the night sky, something almost unbelievable happened right before everyone's eyes.

In the darkness, a giant bat-like creature flapped its wings and flew away from the villa. Everyone immediately thought of the missing Tora-kura Sakuya.

The vampire turned into a bat and flew away.

"That monster flew into the sky!"

The terrifying scene was deeply etched in everyone's minds, leaving them speechless until the thunder subsided and they were awakened by the sound of dripping water from the balcony.

"Blood! It's blood!"

Hanekawa Johei was the first to discover the bloodstains dripping from the eaves.

"Can we go up up there?" Chi Chufeng leaned out of the balcony and looked up.

"That's the smoking room in the attic. Hey, Mashin-san is right there!"

"No way?"

The long-haired woman stared blankly as Akatsuka followed Torakura Kishiji, who was leading the way, and ran out, her expression gradually turning terrified.

"Has something happened to Ma-Ma Shin?"

After leaving the restaurant, go through the corridor and climb the stairs to reach the attic.

Conan rushed up first, pushed open the wooden door to the attic entrance, and saw Torakura Mashin leaning against the attic window.

The neck, which was leaning against the window frame, was still bleeding, the blood dripping down the eaves to the balcony directly below.

His carotid artery had been severed, and he had already stopped breathing.

"Husband!" The long-haired woman followed him upstairs, sobbing. When she saw Yin Cang standing silently by the window, she almost fainted.

"Don't come any closer," Conan stopped the woman. "Your husband has probably been murdered."

"How...how could this happen? I'm finished," the woman choked out. "My husband is my only support. What am I going to do now?"

Torakura Kishiji helped the desperate woman up and took her away.

"Don't worry, we'll figure something out. We're all family here."

"Was Mashin really killed?" Hanekawa Johei asked anxiously from below. "Wouldn't it be terrible if my dear wasn't found soon?"

“Definitely,” the bespectacled woman said matter-of-factly. “Maybe Mamoru and her sister have already been taken somewhere by their vampire brother, Sakuya, and killed by wooden stakes, just like in the legends!”

"Don't scare me."

"Hehe, if that's the case, you'll come back to me, right?"

The bespectacled woman stared at Hanekawa Johei with possessiveness.

"Judging from the condition of the body, the cause of death was a severed carotid artery," Conan said, frowning. "Although Mr. Asanoshin was holding a knife, the possibility of suicide is very low."

"Why?" Torakura Kishiji asked in surprise. "Wasn't it because he didn't want to be attacked by his older brother that he committed suicide?"

“There is a big difference between suicide and homicide. At least it wouldn’t look like what happened at the scene, where it appears that Mr. Ma Xin was suddenly slit in the throat from behind while he was smoking.”

"??ah?"

The members of the Torakura family all stared blankly at Conan.

"How do you, a child, know so much?"

Conan didn't answer, but suddenly stopped and asked the group, "Do you know about the Nanban room in this mansion?"

"Oh? Of course I know."

After leaving the attic, the old butler and several members of the Torakura family led Akatsuka and Conan to the so-called Nanban room, which was actually a room filled with many Nanban torture instruments.

"Nanman" was a term used by island nations under the influence of China to refer to Western colonial countries.

Because most of these people entered the island nation by boat from the southern sea near Kyushu. (Wang Dehaojian)

"According to the master, that was a story from the Edo period. At that time, the ancestor of the Torakura family ruled this area. He was a daimyo who was very popular among the people in the territory."

As the old steward led the way, he told a legend about the Yincang family's past.

"But the lord has never had any children of his own. Just when there were rumors that he would pass the family business to his younger brother, the lord suddenly took a beautiful woman as a concubine and moved into the castle."

"With the concubine successfully giving birth to the heir, the people of the city were relieved. However, on a stormy night, the concubine was found to have fallen off a cliff and died from being impaled by tree branches."

Chapter 548 The Suspicious Little Maid

"At first, no one could understand why she would go into the forest on a stormy night. The adults, finding it unbelievable, tortured the servants of the concubine with instruments brought from the southern barbarians until they finally found out the truth."

"It turns out that someone told the concubine that the young master had not come out after entering the forest, and asked the concubine to go to the forest to find the young master. The one who planned this conspiracy was the master's younger brother."

"The wrathful ancestor impaled his brother and his men involved in the plan on stakes and left them in that forest. Since then, the ancestor has been known as the Stake Duke, and like the prototype of Count Desura, he gradually became a vampire legend."

It seems that old people are very good at telling stories, and they tell them in a way that is quite thrilling.

However, for Conan, the story is just a story, but this legend is somewhat familiar.

What's happening in Yincang's family now is quite similar.

The childless Tora-kura Sakuya suddenly has a fiancée, and soon after, his fiancée has an accident, and the inheritance of 630 falls on his many brothers and sisters.

One person has already been murdered.

"Squeak!"
