Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

Hanekawa Johei took out his phone and said, "The master just sent a message saying that he wants to convey his decision and that we should meet at the restaurant!"

So the four of them returned to the restaurant with Hanekawa Johei.

Almost everyone else is already in place.

Torakura Ruri crossed her arms and said, "It seems my brother has called us all here!"

Hanekawa Johei glanced at the empty seat at the head of the table and said, "But he himself hasn't arrived yet!"

Rumble~

A thunderclap was heard outside.

"It looks like it's going to rain." Torakura Kishiji walked to the window, looked outside, and then drew the curtains.

Torakura Mina looked at Hanekawa Johei and asked, "You didn't have a fight with Mamoru-nee, did you? I can't find her anywhere."

Hanekawa Johei said helplessly, "We didn't quarrel. Honey is always unpredictable and often disappears. I can't do anything about her."

With a smile, Torakura Mina said, "You'd better hold on tight to her."

Hanekawa Johei blinked and said in a low voice, "If she dumps me, I'll have no choice but to go back to you, her ex-girlfriend."

Kitagawa Taki almost spat out his coffee. It seems he underestimated this "pretty boy." She's into both women!

They're just over forty and over sixty, respectively.

Ran thought Kitagawa Taki had choked and asked with concern, "Taki, are you alright?"

Kitagawa Taki laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

Conan felt a pang of sadness watching this scene.

In the past, he would have just taken it as a sign of concern between friends.

But it is different now.

Instead of directly answering Hanekawa Johei's question, Torakura Mina changed the subject, saying, "By the way, where's Mashin-san?"

Chapter 247 should be a good show.

Torakura Ruri replied, "Him? He went to the smoking room to smoke."

Hattori Heiji's expression changed. "Is he alone?"

Torakura Ruri nodded and said, "Yes."

Hattori Heiji pinched the bridge of his nose, somewhat speechless, and said, "Quickly call him to come to the restaurant!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than another thunderclap boomed.

Hikaru Hinohara, standing by the table, stared in horror at the window.

Kogoro Mouri glanced at the window; there was nothing there except the curtains. "What's wrong, Ms. Hinohara?"

Hikaru pointed to the window and said, "There was a strange shadow just now!"

Hanekawa Johei got up and pulled back the curtains. His expression froze instantly. Above the window, Torakura Sakumi was hanging upside down like a bat, with only his head showing.

"Big Brother!!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

Kogoro Mouri, Heiji Hattori, and Conan got up and walked towards the window.

"How is that possible? There must have been a rope or something," Hanekawa Johei muttered to himself as he opened the window.

Then, Tora-kura Sakumi suddenly disappeared.

The people in front of the window were stunned, because Torakura Sakumi's figure disappeared upwards in an instant!

Torakura Mina suddenly exclaimed, "What is that?"

Everyone looked up and saw a huge "bird" fly out and gradually disappear from sight.

Kogoro Mouri's lips twitched. "Is that a bat?"

Conan was also taken aback by this series of strange events, and hesitated, saying, "If it's a bat, isn't it too big?"

Sitting at the dining table, Ran asked nervously, "Taki, what... what's going on?"

Kitagawa Taki held Ran's hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just a toy bat."

It has to be said that these techniques are quite well done, making it seem as if vampires are really out there.

"A toy bat?" Everyone looked at Kitagawa Taki.

“That’s right, but what we should be most concerned about right now is upstairs.” Kitagawa Taki said, gesturing for everyone to look at the balcony. “There’s blood dripping down.”

Heiji Hattori turned around and rushed to the balcony. He saw blood dripping from the roof.

Kogoro Mouri asked loudly, "What room is upstairs?"

Torakura Ruri's face was pale: "Smoking room..."

The housekeeper explained, "The upstairs room was originally an attic, but it has been converted into a smoking room."

Torakura Mina covered her mouth and said, "Isn't Mashin-nii still in the smoking room?"

Kogoro Mouri and his two companions had already run upstairs.

The Yincang family followed closely behind.

Kazuha Toyama looked at the empty restaurant and asked, "Aren't we going?"

Kitagawa Taki shook his head and said, "That Torakura Ashin is already dead, so let's just wait here."

"Kitagawa, why do I feel like... you seem to see through everything?" Toyama Kazuha felt that Kitagawa Taki seemed to know everything, appearing mysterious.

"Haha, how could that be?"

Kitagawa Taki also wanted to see Conan and Hattori Heiji perform.

He had no affection for this family anyway, and whether they lived or died was none of his business.

……

attic.

Torakura Mashin was lying by the window, holding a bloodstained dagger in his right hand. There was a large wound on his neck from which blood was gushing out.

Kogoro Mouri guessed, "The murder weapon is in his hands, could it be suicide?"

Heiji Hattori added, "It's also possible that the murderer did it on purpose, wanting it to look like a suicide."

"husband……"

Upon seeing her husband's death, Ruri Torakura broke down in tears.

Hanekawa Johei swallowed hard and said, "Judging from the situation, if we don't find my honey soon, things might not look good!"

Torakura Mina said, "I'm afraid that Mamoru and Sister have already met with misfortune."

Kogoro Mouri pondered for a moment and said, "It's no use calling the police now. The tunnel definitely won't be repaired anytime soon, and the police won't be able to get here at all."

Hattori Heiji said, "Anyway, everyone go back to the restaurant! Don't wander around anymore!"

Also, butler, please have the cooks all go back to their rooms!

……

restaurant.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber because someone had died.

Heiji Hattori sat in his seat, pondered for a while, then stood up and said, "I'll go investigate the master's room again."

Kogoro Mouri also got up; he hadn't forgotten his match with Heiji Hattori.

Conan secretly planned to follow the two of them as well.

Ran called out to him, "Conan, where are you going?"

Conan chuckled awkwardly, "I'd like to go and see."

Kitagawa Taki interjected, "Ran, let's go together! Let's see what's going on?"

It's not good to leave the two women here alone; it would be better to go with them.

With Kitagawa Taki's offer, Ran no longer refused.

……

The scene shifts to Torakura Sakuya's room.

Heiji Hattori wandered around the room, tapping his feet on the floor repeatedly.

Kogoro Mouri asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Hattori Heiji glanced at it and said, "Torakura Sakoya wouldn't just disappear into thin air; there must be some kind of tunnel here."

He had only checked the bottom of the coffin before.

Meanwhile, Conan discovers the problem with the carpet.

"Hey, Uncle, this carpet isn't a single piece!"

He pointed at the carpet and shouted.

Kogoro Mouri took a closer look and saw two obvious cuts on the carpet.

"What's wrong with that?" Kogoro Mouri scoffed.

Heiji Hattori watched this scene with great interest, as if Conan was reminding Kogoro Mouri, the bumbling detective!

Then, he stepped forward and pulled up the carpet between the cuts, bringing over the carpet closest to the coffin, revealing a hidden door!

Kogoro Mouri's lips twitched. "There really is a tunnel?"

Hattori Heiji opened the hidden door, and a tunnel appeared before him.

A slight smile appeared on his lips. "Next up is the room for taking photos."

We arrived at the room where we had taken photos earlier.

Instead of focusing on the investigation, Hattori Heiji secretly observed Conan's every move.
