Conan Rick's Investigator

But Qin Zhibo looked at the bottom of the coffin with suspicion.

If we look at this as a traditional case, these people should indeed be the murderers.

But according to the description of the main quest, the owner of this mansion is most likely a real vampire.

It is absolutely impossible to kill a vampire easily.

Although Mao Lilan said that a wooden stake was nailed to the heart, and wooden stakes are the nemesis of vampires, this actually shows that the murderer may have known the vampire identity of the owner of the villa and took action based on this.

Then this person might also know the secret of vampires...

It’s just that the “corpse” disappeared from the coffin, which reminds people of one of the abilities of vampires - shape-shifting.

Just then, the pretty boy at the door and Torakura Sannan started arguing again.

Tokura Sannan was dissatisfied with the pretty boy for treating his elder brother as a monster, and angrily grabbed the pretty boy's tie and questioned him.

The pretty boy continued to talk nonsense, laughing as if he was asking for a beating, "I'm not the only one who thinks that, am I?"

"Right? Butler, didn't you invite these people here because you had the same idea as me?"

At this time, Butler Koga also rushed over after hearing the news and stood in the corridor.

"Yes, because the master's recent unusual behavior is so strange, I rashly invited the detective to attend this inheritance distribution meeting."

Everyone in the Tora-kura family was stunned. "Detective?"

Officer Otaki came out and introduced himself, and also revealed Kogoro Mouri's identity as a famous detective.

"Hello everyone, I am the sleeping Maori Kogoro~"

Everyone looked at Kogoro Mori in surprise, obviously they had heard of this name to some extent.

At this moment, the woman with glasses turned to look at Qin Zhibo, who was standing in front of the coffin, and asked, "Who is this man? He seems to have even better deduction skills..."

Kogoro Maori pouted in displeasure.

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo turned around and introduced himself with a smile.

"Hello everyone, my name is Qin Zhibo, and I'm a detective."

Conan's face is black...

This guy stole my lines.

Chapter 1407 Strange Shadow in the Mirror

"Detective..."

When they heard that there were suddenly two famous detectives and a policeman in the house, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the Tonkura family changed slightly.

"Um... the food is cold. Can I reheat it?"

While everyone was discussing the case, the young maid appeared behind them and asked for instructions.

When the old woman heard this, she raised her eyebrows and angrily said, "What's wrong with you? It's already this hour, and you're still asking about such an insignificant matter?"

"S-Sorry!"

The maid was so frightened that she quickly bowed her head and was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait a moment……"

Qin Zhibo stopped the maid and said with a smile, "Let's heat it up. I haven't had dinner yet."

……

After inspecting the scene, Officer Otaki and Kogoro Mori planned to go down the mountain immediately and send the blood on the coffin board to the nearby police station for testing.

This place is located in Gunma Prefecture, so of course we have to send it to the Gunma Prefecture Police Station.

After the two of them got down the mountain in the car, everyone returned to the restaurant to discuss the inheritance.

"So, big brother didn't show up at all?"

"Didn't we agree to discuss the distribution of the inheritance after dinner?"

Torakura Jiro's wife complained, as if she didn't care about the dead body that had just been found.

After all, I didn't see the body with my own eyes. I just heard the one-sided story from the two little girls.

The old woman affectionately held the pretty boy's arm and suddenly said, "Should we take a picture first?"

Hattori Heiji, who was following behind, took a step forward and asked, "Why do you want to take pictures?"

The old woman turned around and explained, "Whenever our family gets together, we all gather together to take pictures..."

As an outsider, the pretty boy also echoed, "This custom has existed for three generations..."

Hattori Heiji drooped his eyelids and thought: Wasn't that when cameras started to be aimed at civilians?

"But isn't the owner of the villa here now? Are you planning to take pictures too?" Toyama Kazuha asked with a frown.

Inakura San'nan replied nonchalantly, "Yeah, last year when we were halfway through the photo shoot, my brother suddenly rushed out of the room and rushed over to take the photo."

The youngest girl in the Torakura family, the one wearing glasses, also agreed, "That's true. When all of us are happily having fun, maybe Big Brother will suddenly show up..."

Just like that, several people turned around and walked towards the photo studio.

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other and felt that there was no need to inform Qin Zhibo who was having dinner in the restaurant.

Just keeping an eye on these people to see if they do anything out of line, the two high school detectives are enough.

……

In the restaurant, Qin Zhibo sat alone at the dining table, devouring the delicious food on the table.

Since we had been rushing all the way and had no chance to stop for dinner, our stomachs were already very hungry.

When he had almost finished eating, Qin Zhibo wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and turned to look at the maid serving him.

Qin Zhibo glanced at the maid's name, which was Hihara Xiaoguang, and she was 24 years old.

Hihara... Haihara?

"Maid, how long have you been working in this house?"

The maid was startled and said softly, "It's been half a year..."

Half a year?

Qin Zhibo thought about it and felt that if he wanted to inquire about the rumors about vampires, it seemed that this maid was not qualified enough.

"So, you didn't experience the incident six months ago when a maid from this house died in the nearby forest?"

The maid was stunned again, then her eyes lit up and she asked, "Are you talking about the incident with Miss Shimizu?"

"I really haven't experienced that. I only came here to work as a maid after that incident..."

Qin Zhibo understood clearly

He nodded, and suddenly saw that the maid's uniform had a metal picture frame brooch pinned on the fabric between her collarbones.

The frame of the brooch shows a photo of a woman with a dignified and elegant temperament, and she looks 70% similar to the maid.

"Excuse me, is the woman pictured on your brooch your mother?"

In response to Qin Zhibo's question, the maid looked down at her brooch and then nodded.

"Yes."

"Oh..." Qin Zhibo said casually, "It seems that you love your mother very much."

The maid replied, "Actually, this brooch was given to me by my master so that I could always wear it on my clothes."

Qin Zhibo was puzzled for a moment, "Master? Mr. Torakura Sakoya?"

"Yes." The maid nodded. "The master said that whenever he saw this brooch, it would remind him of my mother..."

The maid's answer made Qin Zhibo even more confused.

Realizing that the relationship was somewhat complicated, Qin Zhibo continued to ask questions.

Only then did they learn that the maid named "Hihara Komitsu" was the daughter of a mansion owner's fiancée.

Because the mother of Xiaoguang's maid died in an accident two years ago, Torakura Sakuya was unable to marry the maid's mother Yoko.

Maid Xiaoguang was born to a woman and her ex-husband, and clearly has no bloodline of the Tonkura family, so she has no right to inherit the estate.

After listening to the maid Xiaoguang's description of this relationship, Qin Zhibo finally understood what the old woman meant when she was in the office and was worried about other illegitimate children popping up.

"Let me ask you a rather impolite question. Since you have no right to inherit the estate, why are you still working as a maid here?"

"Isn't it strange to be ordered around by your former family?"

"Especially those people from the Tora-kura family, it seems that they are not very friendly to you..."

Qin Zhibo's question made Xiaoguang's maid's eyes droop slightly, and the fingers of her hands were tangled together.

"Actually, the master invited me to come back here to be a maid..."

"Are you done eating? If you're done, I'll start clearing the table."

Seeing that the maid didn't want to continue this topic, Qin Zhibo stopped asking and nodded to indicate that it was okay.

Just then, a scream suddenly came from outside the corridor.

"ah--!"

Qin Zhibo recognized this familiar scream as coming from Mao Lilan, with the scream of Yuanshan Heye as the harmony.

He immediately stood up and ran out of the restaurant, running towards the direction where the sound came from.

When we arrived at the photo studio, we found Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha standing behind the camera in the room, trembling with fear, looking as if they were still in shock.

Hattori Heiji and Conan were also staring at a mirror on the photo wall, as if trying to find something in it.

"What happened?" Qin Zhibo walked over and asked.

Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha raised their hands tremblingly and pointed at the wall. Mao Lilan explained, "Just now, when we were taking a photo, Mr. Tora-san suddenly appeared there..."

"Yeah, yeah! It's like a ghost!"

Qin Zhibo looked at the place where the two women were pointing, which was exactly where Hattori Heiji and Conan were observing carefully.

Since the silver mirror was hanging on the wall, Conan's dwarf's perspective was relatively biased, so Hattori Heiji held him in his arms.

Qin Zhibo looked in the mirror and saw the investigation point on it at a glance.

【Topographic Survey√】

【A magic mirror】

"Can you please stop talking?"

"Anyway, you must have heard the vampire rumors earlier, so you followed that detective here to have fun, right?"

"Please stop treating this place like a haunted house and screaming! Okay?"

The repeated sudden and unexpected behavior of Mao Li Ran and Toyama Kazuha caused Torako Jiro's wife to completely lose her temper, and she yelled at the two women in displeasure.

When Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha heard the word "vampire", they were also stunned.

Meet two people

The old woman and the pretty boy smiled slightly with puzzled looks in their eyes. "Haha, you two came here without knowing anything?"

The two of them sang in unison and recounted the story of the maid's death that happened half a year ago.

The more Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha listened, the creepier they felt. Especially when they heard that the maid had holes on her neck like a vampire, they got goose bumps on their necks.

Inakura Sannan looked determined and said calmly, "Anyway, let's split up and look for Big Brother. If we keep going like this, he might really be treated like a monster..."

As soon as the three men finished speaking, Qin Zhibo, who was standing in front of the mirror, said.

"If you want to look for it, start in the room next to this photo studio."

Qin Zhibo pointed his fingers on the mirror, with his fingertips directly facing the fingertips in the mirror, with no distance in between.

When Hattori Heiji and Conan saw this scene, their expressions were stunned and they understood the meaning.

"It's a two-way mirror, meaning you can see this side from the other side, just like the mirrors in police interrogation rooms..."

Everyone came to the room next to the photo studio, which used to be a guest room that no one used normally, but in the past six months it was converted into a personal dressing room by Torakura Sakuya.
