"Boom!"

With the sound of rolling thunder, the rain is getting bigger and bigger outside, and the light of lightning will be reflected on the walls of the corridor.

"Ah, Master Acheng..." The maid stretched out her hand, hesitatingly did not call Gao Cheng, turned around and went back to the dining room with the Tokura family.

In addition to the restaurant, the other maids and chefs of the Tokura family stayed in their rooms under Gao Cheng's orders. All of a sudden, only Gao Cheng and the old housekeeper were left in the big villa.

"But, Detective Kioto," the old butler said suspiciously, "If the opponent is a vampire, are we the only one who has no problem?"

"No problem," Gao Cheng returned to the photo room with the old butler, "I've roughly seen the vampire's tricks, it's just artificial."

"What?" The old butler opened his squinted eyes, "Could it be that sir..."

"The terminally ill master should not be able to accomplish so many things. There are still accomplices in this villa," Gao Cheng said back to the old housekeeper, "Who do you think is more suspicious?"

"This one……"

The old butler lowered his head.

"If you want to say something more suspicious, it might be Miss Xiaoguang, the maid. You should have heard about her mother, Miss Yoko. The day she died was a stormy night, Miss Yoko who was waiting for her master to come back in the mansion. Suddenly he said that he was going to pick him up at the master’s hospital...

"I dissuaded her from saying it was dangerous, but... As a result, she fell off the cliff with the car and people at the corner of the mountain road. The police investigated and concluded that the cause was fatigue driving caused by unclear vision."

"Is there anything hidden in this matter?" Gao Cheng frowned.

"Actually, before she went out, I received a call from the master, asking me to tell Ms. Yoko that her daughter's operation had been successfully completed. In the end, it was the maid Ms. Shimizu who went to Miss Yoko..."

The old butler was sad.

"Ms. Shimizu, the maid, said that she might want to see her daughter as soon as possible, but now thinking about Miss Yoko's face was very pale at the time, she didn't look like that. I have been wondering whether Ms. Shimizu's death would be related to this. ..."

"What about Mr. Ashin?" Gao Cheng grabbed the clue and asked, "Does Mr. Asin have anything to do with this matter?"

"I don't know, but at that time, Miss Yoko drove Master Masin's car. It was the 13th anniversary of the death of the old man, so everyone went back to the mansion," the old butler said with a serious face, "I am here today. Everyone was there that day, so if the accident was really a conspiracy planned by someone, as the rumors say, it wouldn’t be surprising that there would be retribution..."

The innocent figure of the maid Xiaoguang flashed in Gao Cheng's mind.

"Does Miss Xiaoguang know about this?"

"I don't know, the master told me not to say that he would tell Miss Xiaoguang himself."

"So to speak..."

Gao Cheng thought of what the maid Xiaoguang had mentioned.

That email.

An email from Tomoko Tokura...

If Tokura Sakiya explained this in the email, or asked Xiao Guang to meet in Nanban’s room and confessed, Xiao Guang, who wanted to avenge his mother, might indeed cooperate in committing this murder.

Moreover, whether it was to find the corpse in the coffin, or to take pictures to see ghosts, or even in the restaurant... the first thing that was found was the maid Xiaoguang.

It seems that this maid is leading and acting herself.

but……

There is no reason to take the initiative to mention the mail to his detective.

"Ms. Shouyu, shouldn't it," the old butler worried, "couldn't something happen?"

"I'm afraid it is, but at least the corpse should be found," Gao Cheng temporarily put aside the maid Xiaoguang and asked the old housekeeper, "Have you really found every corner of the villa?"

"Yes, because everyone is looking for the master..."

"If at that time she had been killed or gagged, where would she hide?"

Gao Cheng thought of the secret tunnel under the coffin.

"Your master has been doing anything weird recently or since half a year ago? For example, renovating the mansion, or buying something."

"Speaking of it," the old butler recalled, "about half a year ago, the master said that he wanted everyone in the mansion to rest, so he arranged an overseas trip for a week or so. Soon after that, the maid Shimizu happened. thing."

"What about recently?"

"Recently, the master suddenly bought an inflatable swimming pool for children on the Internet. It seems that he also bought a toy airplane and the like. He sent a large box... Oh, by the way, the master recently bought a new one on the stage. Locked refrigerator."

In the kitchen, Gao Cheng stood in front of the large locked refrigerator.

"Is this this one?"

He tried it, and the larger freezer compartment below was indeed locked. The upper refrigerator compartment that was not locked was normal, but it was also full of ingredients.

"Why is it locked?"

"I don't know," the chef who was called over shook his head, "I heard that it contains high-quality meat prepared for today's guests, but I still didn't use it..."

"Is there a key?"

"Master should have it, and Xiaoguang may have it too."

"Xiaoguang?"

"The keys to this kitchen and nearby rooms are kept by Xiao Guang." The chef explained.

"Yes, that's right," Xiaoguang, the maid who was found in a daze, responded. "But I have seen it in the refrigerator. There is nothing but a big pot of seaweed."

After trying several keys clumsily, the maid Xiaoguang finally found the key to open the refrigerator. As she said, there was only one cylindrical jar in the two-story refrigerator freezer that was open enough to fit two people.

Gao Cheng checked the refrigerator carefully. The temperature in the freezer compartment was very low, and there was still ice in it, so there was no problem.

"Are there other places in the mansion where people can be Tibetans?"

"I think should not be……"

"Nothing!" A doorman wearing a raincoat outside suddenly ran into the room, and when he saw the crowd gathered here in the kitchen, he hurriedly shouted, "Something has happened! Someone has died in the forest!"

"forest?"

"Just in front of the gate!"

It was late at night, it was still raining outside the villa, and the air was stuffy and irritating.

The corpse is located in the forest directly opposite the gate. Tokura’s parent and daughter, Tokura Mamoru, was tied backhand on a wooden stake and fell back under the tree. The corpse was wet, not thick clothes clinging to her body, revealing a round and pale chest. , There is still a small amount of water in the gully, the neck is entangled with rope, and the strangle mark below is faintly exposed, his eyes are widened, and his face looks a little frightened under the rain.

"It's Shouyu Madam!"

Gao Cheng brought Xiao Ai to the scene in the rain. He first checked the surroundings of the body and took photos with his mobile phone before approaching the body to examine the body.

The cause of death was suffocation and strangulation. Judging from the condition of the body, the time of death was about 6 hours, which means that he may have been killed when he accompanied Tokura Kishi to develop the photos.

Gao Cheng turned around and asked the two guards: "Did you see her coming out?"

The mansion has only one entrance and exit. The gatekeeper is also responsible for opening and closing the iron gate. If there is any abnormality, the gatekeeper should find out the first time...

"No," the guard said with a flashlight, "no one has been out during this time."

"You keep guarding the door?"

"Well, the door was opened once, because the furniture company's truck came," another fat doorman explained. "The master said that the chairs are old and plan to replace them with new ones, so he ordered them to the furniture company a few days ago. Placed an order...

"But when we were checking the goods, we found that the sofa was incorrectly installed, so we asked the truck driver to go back today. By the way, at that time there was an explosion that caused the tunnel to collapse. We stared at it for a while, but it was just Then for a while."

"Did she come out at that time?" The thin man glanced at Inkura Mamoru and the corpse outside the door.

"Isn't it found when I tied the corpse to a wooden stake here and returned to the mansion?" Gao Cheng meditated. "Impossible. It takes a lot of time just to bring people here..."

"There is also this hole," Xiao Ai pointed to a pit with the thickness of a wooden pile that was dug out next to the corpse. "Is it ready to be used to insert wooden piles from the beginning? Just like half a year ago..."

"I really want to hang the corpse upside down like half a year ago, but this time I haven't finished the layout. At least the corpse has not been drained of blood, and there are only strangulations on the neck."

The scene looked like the prisoner left halfway before the arrangement.

But what is strange is that Tokura Mamoru and almost his entire body are firmly tied to a wooden stake, which is very different from the situation where the maid was hung upside down half a year ago.

There is also a way for the prisoner to return to the mansion.

If the furniture company truck comes and the explosion on the tunnel side is just to attract the attention of the guard, it will only take a while, and the risk of being discovered is very high.

The murderer's tactics...

Gao Cheng glanced at the entire mansion, and Tokura Koya flashed in front of him.

This incident is obviously a continuation of half a year ago. The police at that time may have been misled by removing the coffin and inspecting the ground. They could not find the secret passage hidden by the carpet or the mystery on the back of the coffin.

Speaking of it, this place is located at the border of Gunma Prefecture and Saitama Prefecture. It seems to be under the jurisdiction of Gunma Prefecture. The police who came six months ago shouldn't be...

Gao Cheng's eyelids collapsed.

Hope it won't be that guy.

One guard was left to guard the corpse, and the other guard took Gao Cheng around the mansion's wall.

There is no place to go in or out. There are anti-theft sensors on the fence. If someone wants to climb over the wall, the guard will know immediately.

These were there half a year ago, and they were only invited after the incident that the doorman was a maid, and it was unlikely that they would move silently.

As for the secret path...

At the beginning, Tokura Shoya might only take one week to reform, and if the secret road was built arbitrarily, it would easily arouse workers' suspicion. There was originally a vampire legend here.

And if there are secret roads, there is no need to arrange furniture company trucks and blow up tunnels.

The prisoner can only use that little time.

...

When Gao Cheng returned to the villa again, everyone in the Tokura family who learned the news in the restaurant had already quarreled.

"He is not a policeman, why should we listen to him?"

"Even a detective is too young, who knows if it's me..."

"Yes," Xiaobai said with a cry, "I will give you an explanation. In the end, isn't my dear killed?!"

"Let us protect ourselves..."

Everyone was determined and left the restaurant despite the repeated requests of the maid Xiaoguang.

Xiao Ai wanted to stop everyone, but Gao Cheng pulled her from behind.

"Forget it, it's useless," Gao Cheng said, shaking his head, "and I probably also know the murderer's plan."

At this time, everyone is encouraged to leave, and the murderer obviously has plans.

"You already know?" Xiao Ai wrinkled her nose.

Except for the clues before, she still doesn't know what's going on...

"I have solved so many cases alone," Gao Cheng said as he walked into the empty restaurant. "The more complicated the case, the more traces can be traced, not to mention that the opponent may not necessarily have a high IQ. criminal."

"You will be in such a place..." Xiao Ai whispered a little, and followed Gao Cheng to the balcony window below the loft crime scene.

Gao Cheng drew up the curtains and observed carefully.

"The coffin and the photo technique are all solved, and the rest is this, vampire bat... The bat should be just a toy airplane controlled by remote control. The problem is that Tokura Makiya suddenly appeared and disappeared, and there was nothing left on the attic. There are obvious traces, and we rushed over almost immediately..."

"Are there any other institutions?" Xiao Ai reminded and asked ~www.NovelMTL.com~ that there are institutions. "

Gao Cheng imitated Xiao Bai's face when he opened the curtains and his eyes fell on the window glass. After close inspection, he found that the top piece of glass was a convex lens, which could reverse the scenery outside.

That is to say, at that time, Tokura Sakiya seemed to have retracted upstairs, but actually fell down, because the window below was blocked by a small white face and everyone did not notice.

In this case……

Gao Cheng walked out of the balcony and rummaged among a bunch of flower pots nearby. After seeing a pale fangs face, he stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Ai who wanted to follow him.

Hidden by the flowers and plants is a head and the shoulder part of the vampire cloak supported by stuffing.

The owner of this villa, Tokura Tomiya, is actually dead, and only one head dressed as a vampire remains...

Gao Cheng's eyes tightened, and the scenes before the scenes flashed back in his mind like electricity.

The call of the maid Xiaoguang, the conversations of the Tokura family, and the narration of the old housekeeper...

"It turns out that's the case." Gao Cheng gathered his thoughts.

"So what's going on?" Xiao Ai wanted to probe to see what Gao Cheng found, but her sight was completely blocked by Gao Cheng, and her eyelids fell depressed.

Why is this person like this...

"Okay," Gao Cheng got up and pushed Xiao Ai into the room, "let's investigate this case thoroughly."

"Speaking of the case," Xiao Ai raised her eyelids, "Kudo has also encountered a case over there, and the case has been solved a long time ago."

"Is Conan over there?"

Gao Cheng was stunned.

Speaking of it, the Maori family accompanied the garden to the villa in Izu Kogen, and they didn't know what they did to solve the case.

"As long as the case can be solved," Gao Cheng said plainly, "the prisoner here hasn't planned to stop yet..."
