Look at the time.
It's already 11 o'clock in the morning.
Although Ye Gengyi has the status of an expert from the Technical Association, he does not have the habit of coming to someone's house and being looked down upon.
Hattori Heiji and Conan had this idea, and were about to follow Takagi Wataru upstairs, but were stopped by Otaki Goro:
"Um...Mr. Mao Li, Mr. Ye, you see it's almost noon, and we don't know how long the investigation here will take. Why don't I invite everyone to have a meal nearby first."
As he spoke, he pulled Hattori Heiji aside and whispered:
"Aping, I brought you here. The incident occurred in Tokyo and it is still in the preliminary investigation stage. We cannot compete with the criminal police here for the right to handle the incident."
This is a matter of principle. Although Otaki Goro knows that he may not be able to stop the other party, he still needs to say what needs to be said.
as expected.
Hattori Heiji's eyes were erratic, and in the end he simply raised his head to look at the ceiling, expressing vividly what "in the left ear, out the right ear" means.
The reason was very good, but it was a pity that he didn't understand the timing... Ye Geng had reservations about Otaki Goro's observation skills.
It is analyzed that this police officer may have been in contact with Hattori Heiji for a long time, and he did not notice the pale faces of Mao Lilan, Toyama and Ye at all.
Although I don't understand why the two of them still look like they have "never seen the world" after experiencing so many incidents, but considering the time issue in the science world, a certain professor surnamed Ye who cannot empathize can only Interpret this expression as - because I witnessed the headshot scene with my own eyes, I felt very uncomfortable both psychologically and physically.
After sorting out this information, and looking back at Otaki Goro's dinner invitation, I only need to make a few additions...
Ye Gengyi came to Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye, pointed to the stairs next to him, lowered his voice and said in a caring tone:
"Let's go. After seeing such a bloody scene, even if you don't eat, go outside to get some fresh air."
"Yeah!" The two girls nodded repeatedly.
Eh? !
Conan and Hattori Heiji immediately turned to stare... What is Saradachi doing!
no! You have to go and have a look!
The two followed up from behind with empty eyes.
…
The two police officers from the First Search Division who were on duty at the entrance and exit of the apartment were considered old acquaintances. When they saw several people leaving, they did not stop them at all.
Not long after.
They came to a nearby tea restaurant.
Ye Gengyi didn't care about others, he was really here to eat anyway.
I brought a few people together because I didn't want to accidentally get involved in something that required an alibi.
After all, in the situation just now, if Hattori Heiji and Conanan wanted to stay in the apartment, there was a high probability that Mouri Kogoro, Mouri Ran, Toyama and Ye would also be with them.
He couldn't directly say that eating was more important than breaking up. The consequence of not taking the first step would only be that Otaki Goro, who was the first to make the suggestion, would also compromise and stay in the apartment.
How nice now.
You can not only fill your stomach, but also enjoy the unwilling expressions on the faces of the two detective boys.
Mmm...even more delicious.
…
Had lunch.
Hattori Heiji couldn't wait to go back to the apartment to learn about the progress of the investigation.
Otaki Goro didn't stop him anymore. After paying the bill, he intentionally slowed down and walked side by side with Ye Gengyi, who was walking at the back of the team.
"Is something wrong?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Well... I have something I want to ask Mr. Ye for help with..."
Otaki Goro lowered his voice and said: "Actually, when I came to Tokyo this time, in addition to investigating the suicide case, I was also assigned by the head of the department to investigate another case elsewhere. Because it sounded too bizarre, I felt... There is no foundation..."
Even if it's not weird, you probably don't have any foundation, right?
Ye Gengyi opened a can of instant coffee and took a sip:
"tell me the story."
"It's like this... The location is at the junction of Gunma and Saitama prefectures, a villa built deep in the mountains... The director said that there will be a meeting to discuss inheritance issues there tomorrow night, and we will call the person who entrusted us with it. It’s the housekeeper there…”
Otaki Goro paused for a moment, obviously swallowing his saliva, and said in a lower voice:
"He said there might be vampires in that villa..."
oh?
Ye Gengyi became slightly more interested: "Is there any evidence?"
"Uh... about half a year ago, a murder occurred in the forest near the villa..."
Otaki Goro took a deep breath, as if he wanted to relieve his emotions, but the expression on his face was still so heavy:
"It was a female corpse. The corpse was tied to an erected wooden stake from head to foot. The death condition was very miserable. The strange thing was that except for the two small holes dug out in the neck area of the corpse, No other wounds could be found. She was killed by forceful bleeding... Later, after investigation, it was discovered that the deceased was the maid of that villa."
Suppose there really is a vampire, just bite it and hang it outside? Don’t you know how to save food?
Or maybe the container he used to hold blood was found nearby...
As for bloodletting and killing, there are two very obvious arteries on both sides of the human neck, which are the so-called carotid arteries.
They are very important arteries in the human body and are closely related to the blood supply to the brain and head and neck.
Therefore, if you pierce it and then turn the person upside down, without external intervention, the body's self-repair mechanism will not be able to deal with the bleeding and infection of the wound.
This kind of killing method can also be done by ordinary people, so it is obviously unreasonable to prove that it is the work of a 'vampire'.
Ye Gengyi casually dispersed his thoughts and asked: "What traces were left at the scene?"
"As far as I know, there is no..."
Otaki Goro shook his head: "Because it had been raining in the mountains during the days when the eucalyptus occurred, and the ground was very muddy, so no witnesses were found..."
"So, just because of the wound on the neck and the fact that there were no footprints at the scene, you think the murderer is a vampire who can fly?" Ye Geng retracted his gaze and took another sip of coffee.
"Haha... after all, vampires are just legends."
Otaki Goro paused for a moment, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere of the conversation between the two had suddenly become much colder.
Uh...it's an illusion.
He looked sideways for a moment, but didn't see anything from Ye Gengyi's expression, and continued:
"Actually, this commission may have nothing to do with the case of Eucalyptus half a year ago... because the housekeeper said that the owner of the villa started to show fear of the sun just recently, and stayed in the room to sleep during the day. One time when he was having dinner, he even asked the servant to throw out his favorite set of silver tableware... By the way... it also contained the garlic soup that he used to eat every meal... "
