Of course, when Hattori Heiji asked Otaki Goro to test the blood of the case file, he asked an acquaintance to check it out.
At this moment, due to the lack of a large number of clues, I can only put my doubts about the chef's alibi in mind...
and.
If there were no accomplices, the problem must lie with the coffin.
"We can only push it away first and see if there is a secret passage below."
Hattori Heiji rolled up his sleeves and prepared to move the coffin.
"Heiji, wait a moment..." Ye Gengyi took out his mobile phone.
ah? Is this... a fixed position for taking pictures?
It's not necessary, isn't Brother Geng Yi a little too strict...
Just when the two detective boys were at a loss, they heard a string of very rhythmic music coming into their ears through the speakers.
【You know I'll go get you yeah.】
【Whatever it takes to get there.】
【Know I won't drop you......】
"Okay, Heiji."
Ye Gengyi made a 'you can continue' gesture.
Um?
? ? ?
A series of question marks floated through Hattori Heiji's mind.
What is Brother Gengyi doing... Conan blinked.
"..."
The coffin had already been moved in advance, so if you check the tiles below, you won't find anything.
Hattori Heiji glanced at a certain expert named Ye who turned off the music after he finished moving the coffin. He then looked around the entire bedroom and muttered:
"I always feel like something is weird..."
Hmm...yeah, it's really difficult for you to lift the coffin alone...
Ye Geng saved the video of Hattori Heiji pushing the coffin with BGM into the encrypted space, and was about to provide clues to the secret passage under the carpet behind him as 'make up'.
The next second.
Outside the villa, there was suddenly a dull roar.
It's an explosion...
Ye Geng quickly came to the window, opened a corner of the curtain and looked out.
In the distance that even the dense woods could not block, the fire rising into the sky along with the rising thick smoke lit up the entire dark night sky.
Conan and Hattori Heiji were not so reserved. They rushed over and pulled open the curtains without any warning that a sniper bullet would suddenly shoot through their heads from outside.
"stop looking."
Ye Geng kept away from the window and asked them to go and meet everyone first.
…
Villa, living room on the first floor.
"collapse?!"
Hattori Heiji was shocked and said: "Are you saying that the sound just now was because the tunnel exploded for unknown reasons?"
"Well..." Tokura Masin nodded: "I also heard what the housekeeper said..."
"What happened? It actually exploded? There's only one way here!"
Hearing this, Tokura Ruri immediately vented her emotions towards her husband, as if the tunnel would explode and it was all his fault.
Hattori Heiji was too lazy to pay attention to the couple. He looked at the old housekeeper and asked, "Do you know the cause of the explosion?"
"It's not clear yet..."
Riku Koga shook his head and continued: "It is said that the fire is also very strong, so it will take a while to open the tunnel."
A thick blizzard villa unfolded... Ye Gengyi looked around the crowd and found that there were still a few people who had not come over yet.
On the side, Tokura Shina complained: "Brother, please come out quickly. No one is in the mood to look for him now..."
Huh?
Conan was stunned, raised his voice and asked this question to almost everyone present:
"Has no one found Master Tokura yet?"
The maid named Xiaoguang explained softly: "Everyone has searched separately, but still can't find it..."
"Speaking of which, where is my baby?"
Hanekawa Johei looked around: "I couldn't find her from the beginning..."
"I don't think I saw Kishiji-nii either..." Tokura Shina said.
"Oh, ask Kishiji," Masobu Tokura said, "He said he wanted to develop the photos he just took. He should have gone back to his room."
"Ha, let's develop the photos."
Ruri Tokura maintained her mean attitude and said with a smile, "Other than my eldest brother, he is the only person I know who still uses film cameras these days..."
"Sorry, I'm just an outdated antique, but it's precisely because of this that I discovered a creepy thing..."
The voice of Tokura Kishiji came from outside the living room door. After a while, he walked in with the developed photos, showed them to everyone, and said:
"The two young ladies are right. When we took the group photo, the eldest brother was beside us, but... he has turned into a monster that can penetrate walls..."
The picture fixed in the photo is a scene of six people looking at the camera with smiles on their faces.
However, the incredible thing is...
Right in the middle of the photo, in the mirror between Hanekawa Johei and Tokura Mamoru, a man with his mouth wide open and sharp fangs clearly appeared. He looked very much like a vampire in a movie or TV show.
For a moment, the scene fell into a brief silence, and there was no sound except breathing.
Several heirs were immersed in fear and astonishment.
Because that man was the current head of the family, Tokura Sakuya, who invited them to this villa to discuss inheritance issues!
Ruri Tokura couldn't bear the depressing atmosphere and shouted: "Please! This, this is simply a supernatural photo!"
"Could it be that you did something when developing the photos?" Hanekawa Johei questioned.
Feeling the distrustful looks cast by everyone, Tokura Kishiji quickly explained:
"You idiot! How could I do this to the negatives of the film in such a short period of time? Besides... the camera used to take the photos was also kept in that room by my eldest brother!"
"Could it be that Brother, he really turned into a vampire?!" Tokura Masin saw Tokura Sakuya's face appearing so realistically in the photo, and she really couldn't convince herself to stay calm.
"Don't be joking, this is probably just a trick set by Brother Mi."
Shina Tokura said:
"He must be testing us to see if any fool will be scared and run away. After all, the invitation letter also says that if you want to inherit his legacy, you must attend tonight's meeting."
"Yes, yes..."
Tokura Masin nodded stiffly, raising his voice as if he wanted to comfort himself by gaining recognition from others:
"My eldest brother must have tampered with the camera in advance to take such a photo...right? Right?"
"I don't think it's possible."
Hattori Heiji said: "Because the location where your eldest brother appeared in the photo happened to be exactly what Kazuha and the others said..."
Conan took over the topic and added: "So when the photo was taken, Master Tokura did appear in that place..."
"Gah?!"
Tokura Masin was so frightened that he screamed.
Ye Gengyi: "..."
What on earth are they looking at... Aren't the characters' images in the mirror?
