It was already evening when he arrived at Xiyang Mansion, and Gao Cheng in the middle wasted a lot of time because he didn't know the road.

"You have finally arrived, Master Acheng." A white beard butler with glasses waited in front of the castle-like villa, seeming to have been waiting for a long time.

"Ah, Master Acheng?" The little sadly who got out of the car looked at Gao Cheng suspiciously.

"Please forgive me," the white beard steward greeted him straight forward, "below this Tokura family steward Koga Luzhong, and the father of the Hattori director who recommended you over are police officers at the same time. For the sake of convenience, I said to the master. You are the young master of a friend of mine."

Gao Cheng didn’t care much about things like that. He looked at the castle-like buildings in some years and asked the white beard butler: “It’s true that Mr. Hattori recommended me, but I didn’t make it clear to me in some places, please. What's the matter with the vampire murder?"

"The vampire is only a legend," the white beard butler explained with squinting. "About half a year ago, the body of the maid Ms. Shimizu was found in the forest next to this mansion. It happened to be raining that day. Ms. Shimizu was hung upside down and tied up. A wooden stake stuck on the ground, there are two small holes in the neck, the blood in the whole body seems to be sucked up...

"It was an old couple picking wild vegetables who found the corpse. They said that because the skin of the corpse was really white, they thought it was a scarecrow that drives bears at first."

"It sounds like a vampire killing someone, but someone should have committed the crime, right?" Gao Cheng thought.

"It happened to be raining that day, the ground was muddy, and no one witnessed the suspicious person, so the police found nothing after investigating." The old housekeeper took Gao Cheng two into the house. "At first the police suspected that Master, because Ms. Shimizu once complained to the chef, saying that the master was very scary recently. She was afraid that she would be in danger and wanted to quit her job as a maid. Then something like that happened..."

"Your master?"

"Yes, but the master has an alibi. During Ms. Shimizu's death speculation, the master has stayed in the room to sleep. Ironically, it happened to be the chef who proved this."

The old butler said as he walked.

"Ms. Shimizu would be afraid of course, because the master was indeed a bit strange since that time. In order to avoid the sun, she stayed in the room to sleep during the day. Recently, even the silverware she loved so much before suddenly thrown away, saying that she was right. Silver allergy or something...

"Just two days ago, the master also smashed a soup bowl with garlic in the soup he had liked to drink. He said angrily that this would make the blood rot. Never let him see this again."

Xiao Ai gripped Gao Cheng's trouser legs and stared straight at the old housekeeper in a black suit walking in front: "Vampire?"

"In the eyes of the maid, Shimizu, that's probably the case, it's almost like the behavior of a vampire."

Walking through the courtyard, the old butler paused and turned his head.

"The sun is about to go down, and the master should get up soon at this time. Then, before the dinner is ready, Master Acheng and Miss Xiaoai will stroll around the museum casually. The matter about inheritance will be in Discuss after dinner."

Although the old butler said so, Gao Cheng is not good at going around casually. It would be nice if someone led the way.

And if you encounter the villa, you will have to trouble to explain.

"Mr. Butler, if you can," Gao Cheng took the initiative, "Can you take me to see the chef first?"

"Yes, but not enough. The kitchen is very busy now..."

There are three chefs in the Tokura family, but there is only one chef. The other two are young helpers. When the old butler brought Gao Cheng to the kitchen, the scene was really busy.

It can be seen that there are still many guests from the Tokura family this time. I heard that they are all relatives of the same generation with inheritance rights, because the owner here has neither a spouse nor children.

"Ah? Yes, I'm the chef who testified to the master half a year ago," some fat chefs took the time to respond when Gao Cheng was questioned. "The other day, the master wanted to taste the soup immediately after getting up, so let me do this. The chef delivered the soup directly to him and called him up by the way...

"Although I am not always watching, but the master must have never left the coffin, because before he put the coffin lid on, he told me recently that someone seemed to lift the coffin lid while he was sleeping to see how he slept, and let me in. Put something on the lid..."

"Wait, wait," Gao Cheng brows brows. "What did you mean by the coffin?"

"Yes," the chef stopped his work and looked at Gao Chengdao, "Master likes to sleep in a coffin, so I put three sesame seeds on the lid of the coffin that time. When he woke him up, the sesame seeds were still there. The same location means that the coffin has not been opened."

"excuse me……"

Gao Cheng walked out of the kitchen with his chin supported.

There are such people, no wonder there will be some vampire legends.

In the case he has dealt with, this time is considered a strange talk, and perhaps he needs to meet the owner in person.

"City," Xiao Ai still held onto Gao Cheng, "are there really vampires?"

"Please, why are you afraid of such things?"

Gao Cheng stepped in and walked in the aisle, unknowingly outside the dining room not far from the kitchen, and found that a lot of people had been inside. Hesitatingly, a young maid suddenly bumped into him from behind.

"No, I'm very sorry," the maid cried out, and hurriedly stepped back and apologized, "Well, you are the Master Acheng that Mr. Butler said?"

"Ok?"

Everyone in the restaurant noticed the movement at the door and looked over.

"Master?" A light-colored long-haired woman saw Gao Cheng's face ugly and said, "What's the matter? Does my elder brother have an illegitimate child?! Too much..."

"How is this possible?" An uncle with the national character face behind with glasses explained with a smile, "If there are illegitimate children, my brother will not call us here."

"That is to say, if there is really an illegitimate child, the inheritance of the forced miracle will definitely not be given to our brothers and sisters, but will be inherited directly to the children."

It was the parents and daughter of Tokura, who was 60-year-old Morito Tokura, dressed very gracefully and luxuriously. It seemed that the wrinkles were covered with thick foundation, but the slightly sagging skin could still see some oldness.

The uncle with the national character face in front and the woman with light long hair are Tokura Asanobu, the second son of the Tokura family, and his wife Tokura Ruri.

"It's hard to say, Shouyou," a little white with long blond hair smiled at the crowd, "didn't he suddenly bring one back a few years ago? The beautiful fiancée with a child is very different in age, like this It seems that even if there are two or three illegitimate children, it is not so strange, right?"

Xiao Bailian said jokingly to everyone: "However, that fiancée was not very lucky and died soon, oh, yes, this should be a good thing for you..."

"You guy!" The third son of the Tokura family, a slab-inch man who looks like a physical education teacher or coach, lifted the collar of his little white face, and said angrily, "Let me hear you say this next time. Then, I can't spare you!"

"Wh, what?" Xiaobai smiled dryly, "Don't you actually feel very lucky? If you really get married, and if she is still alive, you won't be able to share the inheritance... or say, Wouldn't you secretly fall in love with the lover with the child?"

"you……"

"Well, everyone," the white beard old butler suddenly appeared at the entrance of the restaurant, interrupting everyone, "Master Acheng is not the master's illegitimate son, the master's net worth is much more than the master, this time it's just me asking him Come here as a guest..."

Speaking, the old butler looked at the maid who was standing by: "Miss Xiaoguang, is dinner already ready?"

"Ah, yes!" The young maid returned to her senses and hurriedly responded, "The chef asked me to ask if the food is ready."

"Let's start serving," the old butler nodded, squinting, "I think everyone has been waiting for a long time."

The faces of the people in the restaurant were somewhat unnatural, and a few people were curious and brought a child's Gao Cheng.

With a net worth much more than their elder brothers, and being so young, he should be the young master of that big consortium, right?

It does look very generous.

Xiao Ai pushed the God's Gao Cheng away from behind, and took a seat together.

Because of someone, she hasn't eaten anything since noon, and even if there is a vampire, she can't stop her from filling her stomach.

The restaurant’s layout is quite gorgeous, in a typical Western aristocratic style. Xiao Ai doesn’t care about these at all, but Gao Cheng is used to it, so naturally he just followed to find a place to sit down, and at the same time, his eyes never left the Tonkura family.

The yin and yang strange little white face is called Hagawa Tōhei, who is the friend of Tokura's parents and daughter, but she is only 29 years old, and the age difference is 31 years old. It seems to be the second daughter of the Tokura family, a staid woman with glasses, Tokura Mina. Ex-boyfriend.

Gao Cheng secretly slandered himself.

The butler’s worries are right. A large group of inheritors is messy, and the relationship between them does not seem to be very good.

"Is the owner of this house, Mr. Tokura Sakiya, has an incurable disease?" asked Gao Cheng in the dining room.

"Yes, it is said that only about half a year is left, so we just came to this dinner party..."

"Because the invitation says that those who are absent will not inherit the inheritance," Xiao Bailian drank the red wine, and looked at Gao Cheng with his own noble aura and laughed at himself. "We are not like you, the young master. Everyone is very short of money. It’s not easy to live without inheritance, maybe..."

"Hey! Are you enough?"

The sons of the Tokura family didn't like the little white face of this rich woman, and his face would become more and more ugly.

Xiao Bai Lian smiled disapprovingly, obviously all for the inheritance, and even pretending to be.

"But then again," Xiao Bailian put down his wine glass, turned to the subject that had been vacant, and asked, "Why hasn't Mr. Moya come over yet?"

"Yeah," Torakura Mina, an old-fashioned woman with glasses, followed. "At this time in the past, he had already started complaining about cooking."

"That..." A Guang, the maid standing next to him, said, "I'll go to the master's room and have a look, the master may still be asleep."

"Really."

The parents of Tokura watched the maid leave the restaurant.

"Why do you want to keep this oil bottle specially? Wouldn't he also plan to give her a legacy?"

"Maybe that's the way it is," Xiao Bailian continued drinking, "after all, she is the child of that fiancée."

Gao Cheng frowned silently and put down his knife and fork.

Compared with the issue of inheritance, he actually wanted to clarify the murder of the maid six months ago. Despite the chef's testimony, Mr. Tokura Koya was still quite suspicious.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be an alibi deliberately created for yourself.

The key is the coffin, but if there is a secret tunnel underground, the police should find out...

Hey, he is not the life of a young master at all, he has to think about these things all over his meal.

"what--!"

After a while, the scream of the maid Xiaoguang suddenly broke the silence, and even Gaocheng was taken aback.

"What happened?!"

"No, it's not good!" Xiaoguang shouted, "Master he..."

Tonkura's room was the innermost room after turning right in the hallway of the restaurant. When Gao Cheng approached with a small sorrow for the first time, the maid sat down at the door and pointed to the room with a look of horror.

"Master, he seems to be dead!"

"Please," the Torakura family who followed were dissatisfied, "Don't talk nonsense, okay? You don't know that Big Brother recently used a coffin as a bed..."

"No, it's not!" The maid was still undecided, "When I opened the lid, the master put a wooden stake **** in his chest!"

"Stubs?" Uncle Glasses were shocked, "Big Brother, is this a bit too much a joke?"

Gao Cheng approached the closed Western-style Christian coffin, but the lid could not be opened for a while, as if it was firmly fixed from the inside.

"Is the lid locked?"

"No," the maid said with tears in her eyes, "I just opened it. The master is wearing a black cloak and showing sharp teeth. There is a wooden stake on his chest, and blood is flowing everywhere... how could this be? "

Gao Cheng frowned and frowned again, but this time he lifted the lid easily, but there was nothing in the coffin, and there was no trace of blood on the flannel.

Gao Cheng took a closer look and found blood in the cracks on the other side.

"How could this be?" The maid saw the empty coffin and said in disbelief, "Master disappeared!"

"Hey," Tonkura's parents said suspiciously, "Did you really see the master? Everyone has no time to joke with you..."

"I think what she said should be true. There are indeed blood stains here~www.NovelMTL.com~ The question is, where did the body go."

Gao Cheng looked back at the maid.

"Have you been here all the time?"

"Yes," the maid nodded repeatedly, "Master is really inside, and no one comes out!"

"How could this happen?" The Tonkura family couldn't help but flustered, "Is the eldest brother really a vampire?"

"It's not impossible," The eldest daughter of Tokura glanced at the coffin and said, "We Tokura's ancestors originally had rumors of vampire possession, and coupled with the various strange behaviors of Momi recently, maybe he... You are also possessed by a vampire."

"Haha, are you kidding? Just kidding..."

The scene was panic, and the atmosphere became a little weird.

"Yes, eldest brother must be joking, maybe he wants to test us, because the invitation said that he will be out soon after dinner to discuss the issue of inheritance?"

"Perhaps……"

Everyone in the Tokura family talked about returning to the restaurant, but Gao Cheng still stayed on site to study.

The script is wrong, why did the key villa owner have something wrong at this time?

Is it because he knew that this detective came to investigate?

To avoid or be silenced...

Xiao Ai looked into the coffin from behind: "Is there any mechanism?"

"I don't know yet, but that's for sure."

Gao Cheng reached out and touched the bottom of the coffin, and finally opened the flannel directly to reveal a sliding door underneath. The ground under the coffin also has a tunnel entrance that can be opened.

After pulling the floor tiles apart, a narrow staircase can be seen by the light.

"There was a problem with the case half a year ago."

"That, Master Acheng," the maid Xiaoguang who ran back saw Gao Cheng inspecting the coffin, and said in a daze, "Dinner, dinner is already cold...Do you want me to warm it up again?"
