Conan Rick's Investigator

"Until half a year ago, the maid named 'Shimizu' found Hakumiya privately and said that she knew the secret that Hakumiya was a vampire. She hoped that Hakumiya would transform herself into a vampire, otherwise she would tell the secret to others."

"In order to save her own life, she also spread the word to other servants, saying that she had discovered some secrets about Hakumiya, saying, 'If she dies, the murderer will be Hakumiya'..."

"But she didn't know that vampires have the ability to read minds. As long as the target is frightened, they can forcibly read part of the target's memory."

"Hakuya read Shimizu's memory and found out that the car accident two years ago was planned by those adopted sons together with her."

"She discovered that Hakoya was a vampire because she went to the scene of the car accident in the early morning after the rain stopped on the day of the accident."

"She saw with her own eyes that the vehicle rolled off the cliff, and your mother was pierced through the abdomen by a wooden stake that came in from the window, but she was still alive."

"She kept this matter in mind and lurked in the Torakan family to conduct a lot of investigations. Finally, she confirmed that the vampire thing was true."

"Hakoya couldn't forgive that woman after knowing the truth, so he asked me to kill her."

Hearing this, Conan's expression suddenly became alert.

It turns out that the death of maid Shimizu half a year ago was really due to a vampire sucking her blood dry, but it was not Torakura Sakuya who killed her, but his father Torakura Sukemori.

However, in order to avoid suspicion from the police afterwards, Tonkura Sakuya used the chef to create an alibi for himself.

I guess the scheming maid didn't expect that there was more than one vampire.

If it weren't for Qin Zhibo, he would never have thought of such a shocking truth even if he racked his brains in his lifetime.

Torakura continued, "After that, Hakuraya used shocking tactics countless times to test which of his adopted children were involved in the plan, and eventually he finalized the list of murderers."

"However, during this period, his body had not drunk human blood for a long time, which caused a cancerous reaction in his body and his blood began to deteriorate."

"Once the blood starts to deteriorate, it means death."

"But even if he confirmed the list of murderers, the kind-hearted Hakoya couldn't bear to kill those adopted children he had taken in since childhood."

"So he made a plan to kill and cut off his own head, just to give you all the choices."

"Xiaoguang..."

Torakura Keimori reached into his arms, took out an envelope and handed it to Xiaoguang.

Xiaoguang took the envelope with both hands, opened it, and the words inside covered the entire page.

It is densely covered with various complicated and tedious murder plans, such as the mystery of the disappearance of the coffin, the strange shadow in the mirror, and hanging from the eaves, all of which require the use of Torakura Sakuya's own brain.

The purpose of doing this is to allow the police to conduct an investigation afterwards and direct all suspicion towards Torakura Sakuya.

And Torakura Sakiya also explained most of Xiaoguang's life experience, such as that Xiaoguang was Torakura Sakiya's biological daughter, and that her mother was killed by Torakura's second son, Torakura's eldest daughter, a pretty boy, and Shimizu the maid.

At the end of this murder plan, there is a sentence like this.

[If you have forgiven all this, please destroy the flame of revenge that is entrenched in my body along with this murder plan - Torakura Sakuya]

When Xiaoguang saw this line of words, his eyes were already moistened by crystal clear and warm liquid.

Conan looked at the plan from afar. Although he couldn't see the contents clearly, he could guess a general idea from tonight's experience.

At this time, Tokura Sakoya handed a handkerchief to Xiaoguang and continued, "Actually, after Sakoya sent the text message this morning and then committed suicide under the guillotine, I have been staying in the shadow of that room."

"I want to personally confirm your choice, to confirm whether you will choose revenge like I did back then, or forget the pain inflicted by those people..."

"But the person I'm waiting for is not you, but the man named 'Hekawa'."

"He sneaked into the room and saw Hakomiya's body and the murder plan."

"I originally thought he might report the murder plan, but I still underestimated the evil of human nature."

"He intends to pretend that he knows nothing and use you to carry out his murder plan, reduce the number of heirs, and then kill you in the end when you try to kill him."

"I learned his true thoughts through mind reading, and I also realized that as long as this group of greedy people are around, you can never be truly safe."

“So I followed the instructions in the plan and executed most of it.”

"Of course, there are some techniques that Hakoya developed specifically for you who haven't awakened your vampire abilities yet. I don't need those techniques."

"Now, the humans who can threaten you have basically been eliminated..."

"The only ones missing are these two people in front of me."

Torako's tone suddenly became harsh, and his cold pupils stared at Qin Zhibo and Conan not far away.

He stood up from the chair, his withered and skinny hands were like open blades, and his words were filled with strong murderous intent.

"Although we have no grudges against each other, for Xiaoguang's future, I must get rid of you."

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo and Conan were suddenly startled.

Qin Zhibo immediately pushed Conan behind him, and his other hand was ready to draw out the [Oath-Keeper Sword] at any time.

At this moment, Xiaoguang suddenly stood up and rushed forward, blocking the middle with his arms outstretched.

"Please don't kill for me anymore!"

"grandfather!"

Chapter 1415 Main Mission - Interview with the Vampire, Completed!

Looking at Xiaoguang standing in front of him, especially those eyes filled with tears but still pleading stubbornly, Torakura Keshou was a little moved.

He stopped, but his palm was still in the shape of a knife, and the nails on it were as sharp as blades.

"Xiao Guang, do you know what you are talking about?"

"These people have already known the secrets of vampires. If you don't get rid of them, you will be in danger in the future..."

"Hakuya's experience has shown that it is impossible for vampires to coexist with humans."

Xiao Guang was silent for two seconds, and replied in a low voice: "I know..."

"But even so, didn't Master Pokmi still deeply love his former human mother until the very last moment?"

"Master Pomi has always abided by the agreement with my mother, not sucking human blood, and giving up eternal life..."

"I think the brief happiness of being with humans is better than being a lonely vampire forever..."

Hearing these words, Torakura Keimori's tall and thin figure shook slightly.

The memory that had been buried for more than a hundred years seemed to be awakened in his mind.

A woman in simple clothes stood by the river, holding a wooden basin filled with freshly washed clothes in one hand and gently lifting her hair to her ears with the other hand.

The woman's sweet smile melted Torakan Keimori's heart for the first time.

"I forgot all that..."

"Maybe you're right, Xiaoguang. That time was indeed the happiest..."

The old voice echoed in the cave, and Tora-suke's shoulders relaxed slightly, and his palms, which were as straight as blades, also relaxed naturally.

The atmosphere in the cave was silent for a moment. Tora-Kura looked up at Qin Zhibo and Conan behind Xiaoguang and said in a deep voice: "You guys go..."

"But never tell anyone about what happened here, or I will find you no matter where you are."

There was a clear warning in Torakura Sukemori's words.

"Okay, I know."

"I promise you, I won't tell anyone what just happened here."

Qin Zhibo took the initiative to express his position.

Upon hearing this, Torakura Keimori nodded, indicating his approval of the promise, and then turned his gaze to Conan behind Qin Zhibo.

Conan's heart trembled, and his little head seemed to be in a state of excitement, he was so well behaved.

It’s not that Qin Zhibo is afraid of Tora Kura Keimori, but even if what happened here is told to others, it will not benefit anyone.

After all, this is a Pandora's box full of dangerous taboos, and there is no need for humans to force it open.

But the problem is that until now, there has been no completion prompt for the system's main mission.

Do vampires have other secrets?

Qin Zhibo could only bite the bullet and asked, "Mr. Yincang, I want to know that since Miss Xiaoguang is the child of a vampire and a human, what is her bloodline..."

"Half human, half vampire..."

Torakura sat back in his chair, his bark-like old face twitching as he explained, "Hakoya is a half-human, half-vampire with 1/2 vampire blood. The child he gave birth to with a human will have 1/4 vampire blood."

"But even so, it is not ruled out that the vampire's abilities will awaken one day and become a real vampire."

Qin Zhibo continued to ask, "Is there any way to suppress this transformation?"

Torakura Jieshou, sitting upright in a chair, pondered for a moment, "The only way is to never come into contact with human blood when hungry."

"Once you drink human blood, you will fully awaken and become a vampire."

Hearing this, Xiaoguang's shoulders trembled, and he suddenly remembered several times he had experienced extreme hunger before. When he went to the kitchen to find food, he always had an inexplicable urge for blood, meat, and the like.

"So if you become a vampire, what should you pay attention to?" Qin Zhibo continued to ask.

This aroused Torako's vigilance, and he narrowed his eyes and asked cautiously: "Why are you asking these questions?"

"Please don't misunderstand..."

Qin Zhibo hurriedly explained, "After all, I am the only person outside who knows about this matter. This is also to better help Miss Xiaoguang when necessary."

"Mr. Qin..." Xiaoguang clasped his hands together and a blush appeared on his face.

Conan, who was standing in a shorter position, heard this and glanced at Qin Zhibo unhappily.

only?

Am I not a human being?

Torako no Keimoro stared at Qin Zhibo for a while, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, Xiaoguang really needs a human who can take care of him at any time."

"The vampire's body does not have as many taboos as the outside world has rumored. It is not afraid of silver objects, garlic, holy water, crosses, etc."

"The only thing you need to be careful about is not to be exposed to the sun. If you are exposed to the sun, your skin will fester and turn into ashes."

"But given Xiaoguang's current condition, there's no need to worry about Yangguang..."

"But there is one more thing I must explain. Once a vampire starts drinking human blood, they cannot stop. Otherwise, once they stop, even if they replace it with animal blood, the blood will deteriorate, just like what happened to Hakiya."

"Besides, vampires don't live forever."

"The lifespan of an ordinary vampire is about 400 years. If it is half human and half vampire, the lifespan may be slightly reduced on this basis."

Aren't vampires immortal?

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised to hear this.

Because vampires are often fantasized about having an endlessly long lifespan and powerful life recovery ability.

"Is this passed down from more ancient vampires?" Qin Zhibo asked tentatively.

Torakura Jieshou shook his head, "That's not the case... In fact, except for me, everyone else in our family is an ordinary human being, and I have never seen any other vampires."

"It was after I drank my brother's blood that I awakened my vampire abilities and discovered that I had the physique of a vampire."

"When I first became a vampire, I thought it was a special disease and sought treatment from famous doctors."

"It was not until the Meiji period, when Japan was opening up, that a man from Great Britain told me that this was a special physique called 'vampire'."

"He collected a sample of my blood and said he would take it to Europe for research, maybe he could find a cure or something."

"But ever since he collected my blood, he has disappeared..."

"I also learned from him that the lifespan of a vampire is about 400 years."

Meiji period?

Great Britain?

Qin Zhibo suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly asked, "What's the man's name?"

Torakura Jieshou shook his head. "I don't know that either. He didn't leave his name, but the servants around him called him 'Count Crow'."

Count Crow!

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo's eyes suddenly froze, and the figure of that person appeared in his mind.

Count Crow is another name for Karasuma Renya.

So the British man that Torakura Sukemori met during the Meiji period was actually Karasuma Ren?
