The two detective boys carefully inspected the smoking room, and then came to the entrance to remind everyone that if they did not want to be regarded as suspects, they should not enter the room without permission before the police arrived.
I still think something is strange...
Conan looked at the corpse again, scratched his head, and couldn't think of a reason for a while.
"Could Brother Ma Xin be forced to kill Brother Mi?"
Hanekawa Jiaohei pushed away Mina Tokura's hand that was grabbing his arm, "What? You saw it in the restaurant, right..."
Facing the complicated looks of several heirs of the Tokura family.
He spread his hands and made up and down movements: "He was like a vampire, flying into the sky with a whoosh."
As soon as this statement came out, even Tokura Kishiji, who had always disliked this pretty boy, frowned and did not refute for a while.
That scene was so horrific that it gives me chills down my back just thinking about it now.
"Perhaps, the legend is true..." Tosakura Shina murmured softly.
Huh?
Hattori Heiji did not miss any detail that might be a clue, and walked over and asked:
"What is the legend? Can you tell us if it's convenient?"
"this……"
Tokura Shina hesitated and said: "I don't remember very clearly, but Mr. Butler should also know about it, right? The bloody legend that once happened here..."
"..."
The rain came pouring down.
The raindrops hit the eaves, causing countless splashes.
There was a crackling sound.
The old housekeeper Koga Rikushige told everyone a story that happened in the Edo period.
At that time, the princes in this area were the ancestors of the Tokura family. Since he had no heirs of his own, there were rumors that he would hand over all the family property to his younger brother.
However……
Not long after, the ancestor of the Tokura family married a young and beautiful woman as his concubine. At the same time, the woman gave birth to a baby boy successfully a year later.
Unexpectedly, on a stormy day, the concubine went out and never returned.
The ancestor of the Tonkura family immediately sent his men out to search until they found the bottom of the cliff. They found that the concubine's body was penetrated by a branch and she was already dead.
The ancestors of the Tokura family did not believe that this was an ordinary accident.
So, he took the concubine's entourage and tortured him with torture instruments. Only then did he find out that the person who planned all this was actually his younger brother. Not only was he dissatisfied with the concubine for giving birth to an heir for him, but he also plotted his own position. Instead.
Authority is challenged.
After knowing the truth, the ancestor of the Tokura family was furious. He immediately ordered people to imitate the concubine's death, stabbing his brother and everyone involved in the plan to death with wooden stakes, and the bodies were erected outside. in the forest.
"call……"
The old housekeeper sighed: "From then on, the ancestor of the Tokura family was called [The Impaler Daimyo]."
"Hmm, it sounds like this legend has nothing to do with vampires..." Xiaoguang said timidly.
"Eh? Don't you know?"
Tosakura Shina said: "The prototype of the vampire Count Dracula is the Grand Duke Vlad III of the Principality of Wallachia. He once impaled all betrayers to death with wooden stakes, so he is also known as It’s called [The Impaler].”
"O-so that's what it is..."
Xiaoguang shuddered, and the discomfort in his mind was as uncomfortable as a toothpick piercing his toenail in his mind.
Impaling the Archduke? Piercing a famous person? The similarity is purely coincidental...
Ye Geng touched his pocket and noticed that after finishing all the coffee he had brought, he slowed down and looked at the other maid and said:
"Please make me a cup of coffee without sugar, thank you."
"Well, wait a moment." The maid turned and left.
Ye Gengyi yawned.
"Eh...what?"
Hanekawa Johei looked over, his slightly surprised voice seemed particularly abrupt in the heavy atmosphere:
"You don't seem to care much. Do you think we are talking nonsense?"
He had noticed since eating that Tokura Mamoru and the old witch had been secretly sizing up the young man in black.
Although Hattori Heiji is also more handsome than Hanekawa Johei, in the eyes of this 'boy', he is still too dark and is not a concern at all...
On the contrary, this young man with a stern face and few words put a lot of pressure on him.
Fortunately... the most difficult detective Mouri Kogoro and the somewhat elderly detective were not in the villa.
So far, the plan has been implemented relatively smoothly... It would be great if we could find out the details of this young man.
"Um?"
Ye Gengyi turned his gaze slightly, his eyes were like a deep pool with no bottom, reflecting Hanekawa Johei's face. He didn't say anything, just waiting for further explanation.
Look...what am I doing?
Isn't this person prepared to explain at all?
Isn't it too much to be calm?
Everyone is obviously dead!
Hanekawa Johei's face twitched.
It was obvious that Ye Gengyi's attitude made him somewhat at a loss what to do.
Of course, Hanekawa Johei did not deny that there were some personal emotions in directing the topic to Ye Gengyi at this time, but after all, this man was a companion of the detective... maybe he was a detective himself.
"Uh, I... uh... I mean, this must be the first time you heard the legend of [Piercing the Daimyo], right?"
what's the situation? ! Why am I so nervous? !
Hanekawa Johei adjusted his breathing, paused for a moment, considered his words, looked in the direction where the maid left, and said:
"Hearing such a bloody legend...are you still in the mood to drink coffee right now?"
"What's your opinion?" Ye Gengyi asked in a nonchalant manner.
"Huh? I...I..."
The question was simply thrown back, and Hanekawa Johei opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer for a while.
My own opinion?
It can’t be said that it’s just to stir up the emotions of the Yakura family and get them to speak to the outside world in unison, so as to facilitate the smooth implementation of the follow-up plan, right?
Tosakura Shina frowned, obviously favoring Hanekawa Jōhei, and said: "Now that Asin-san is dead and Sumi-san is missing, since you are the helpers hired by the housekeeper, you must at least contribute. Bar!"
Hey, taken the bait.
Hanekawa Johei quietly wiped away the cold sweat. He didn't know why, but when the young man in black looked at him, he felt inexplicably frightened in his heart.
"Ignorance is never a problem, but some things still need to be clarified before making comments. For example, Vlad III not only impaled betrayers with wooden stakes, but also tortured prisoners, local nobles, and dissatisfied people. His violent common people... don't make it a habit to abandon and distort history, even if this is what you have been taught since childhood."
Ye Gengyi had no expression, and his voice gave people a cold feeling, saying:
"A rat has teeth, but a man has teeth. If he doesn't die, why wait."
