Chapter 1483 Vampire Rumors
  "Hey, I'm timid..."

Facing the speechless complaints from her sweetheart, Ayako smiled sheepishly.

"Don't worry, even if there is a vampire, I can kill him." Tangze promised, patting his chest with a smile.

"You're not doing anything right." Ayako hit Karasawa angrily, and then warned her with a serious face: "Be sure to pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry, I will report the itinerary to you in time, and there may not be a case this time."

After Karasawa hugged Ayako and comforted her, he said goodbye to Ayako and headed out to drive towards the junction of Gunma and Saitama prefectures.

His destination was deep in the mountains at the junction, where a wealthy family built a Western-style manor.

However, when thinking about the contents of the case sent by Hattori Heiji's text message, Karasawa's eyes became somewhat condensed.

"The vampire case... Hattori Heiji was also involved..." As Karasawa's thoughts flowed, he had quietly locked onto a certain case.

Of course, whether it was a case in his memory or not, Tang Ze would have to arrive and confirm the specific situation before he could tell.

After leaving the city and getting on the highway, Tangze drove faster. He now planned to chase the car of Hattori and others and join them.

Although they had already driven off when Hattori Heiji sent the text message, after Karasawa called to indicate that he was also participating, Otaki Criminal and Mori Kogoro deliberately slowed down and waited.

Moreover, Tangze's driving skills were very good, and the three cars merged together midway.

With Otaki Criminal as the lead, everyone finally arrived at this annex in the mountains smoothly.

After getting out of the car, everyone gathered together to discuss the commission without entering first.

"Do you suck vampires?"

After getting out of the car, Mouri Kogoro heard the discussion between Karasawa and others, and looked confused: "What are you talking about? Didn't we come here to meet Otaki's criminal target?"

Because it was not the same car, Mouri Kogoro had no idea about the case, and Karasawa, who had not even received the text message, knew more.

So when they heard their conversation at this moment, Xiaolan and Kazuha, who were in the same car as Mouri Kogoro, also looked confused.

"Uncle Otaki didn't make it clear before and kept saying things like "Don't get sucked dry"."

Hattori Heiji said with a narrow expression: "We all thought it was a woman's lips at first~"

"I told you it wasn't right."

Otaki held his forehead helplessly, then looked at Mouri Kogoro and told the three people what happened here.

"So, do you think the murder case half a year ago was done by a vampire?" Mouri Kogoro looked at Otaki with a suspicious look after hearing this.

"No, no, that's just a rumor in the neighborhood." Otaki waved his hand and explained: "Because a long time ago, this area was ruled by a lord."

"Lord?" Mouri Kogoro was even more confused: "So it can be associated with vampires?"

"Is it because the prisoner hasn't been arrested yet?"

Tangze said: "Coupled with the strange death condition of the corpse, the combination of the two caused the spread of rumors.

If the culprit is caught, it will be impossible for people to spread rumors that a vampire is responsible for the murder after they know the truth. "

"Is this true? The criminal has not been caught yet?" Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah" Otaki nodded after hearing this.

"But the rumors about this case are so outrageous, the police will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it, right?" Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion: "There should be several suspects during the investigation, right?"

"There is a suspect."

Criminal Otaki nodded and said: "The person who was suspected at first was the owner of this villa, Mr. Tokura Sakuya.

The maid who was killed seemed to have complained to the chef of the villa about his changes.

She said that the master had become very creepy recently and felt that her life was in danger, so she no longer wanted to do this and wanted to resign. "

"So the prisoner is indeed the male owner of Yakura?"

Mouri Kogoro had just finished speaking, and Otaki had just stopped denying it. Just as he was about to explain the reason, an old man with almost all his hair falling out came over in a suit and said, "No, because I have an alibi."

"Huh?" Mouri Kogoro looked at the old man dressed as a butler and said, "How do you say this?"

"During the presumed time of death of the maid Shimizu, the master was sleeping alone in the room, so there is a clear abnormality."

The old man said calmly: "What's ironic is that the person who proved my grandpa's innocence happened to be the chef who once heard Miss Qingshui complain."

After saying this, the old man looked at Criminal Otaki and said, "I welcome you very much. Are you the Criminal Otaki of the Osaka Police Department?"

"That's right." Criminal Otaki nodded, then looked at the old man and said, "Then you are the client this time?"

"I am the housekeeper of this villa, my name is Koga Rikushige."

The old man nodded and said with a smile: "Headmaster Hattori's father and I are classmates. Because this message made everyone panic, I asked my old classmate to help me check it out."

Hearing this, Tangze also suddenly understood why the other party actually asked Otaki Criminal to make a special trip when there was no case.

It turns out that because of this relationship, Hattori Heizo was willing to send people to help.

Of course, the reason why Hattori Heizo agreed, in addition to this relationship, is probably because there is indeed an unsolved murder case.

And since those involved in the case called and said they were afraid something might happen to the inheritance, then maybe the prisoner was hiding among them.

It is precisely because of this that he sent Otaki Criminal over.

"Well, my master has become creepy recently. What does this sentence mean?"

Compared with how Otaki Criminal received the commission, he may be more concerned about the cross-dressing of the master mentioned before.

"Yes, the master has indeed been behaving strangely recently."

After hearing what he saw, Rikuzo Koga nodded, with a worried look on his face: "He wants to avoid the sun lately, and hides in his room to sleep during the day.

In addition, I no longer use the silver tableware that I used to use very much. Suddenly, I said that I was allergic to silver, so I had to throw away all of them.

A few days ago, the chef put his favorite garlic in the soup, but he was so angry that he threw the bowl away.

And he told the cook that it would make the blood rotten and he was not allowed to put it in the food again. "

"Hey, hey." Mouri Kogoro said with a cold sweat on his face after listening to Mr. Butler's words: "This is not"

"That's right. I think Miss Shimizu thinks so too." Riku Koga nodded and said, "It's like a vampire." "Vampire!!?" Xiaolan said with a pale face: "You said vampire. Bar?"

"What happened to the vampire?" Yuan Shan and Ye's expressions also became ugly.

The two girls just got off the car and went to visit the villa. They didn't even listen to what they said about the case.

When they just went out and were about to call everyone into the house, they suddenly heard a vampire approaching, and their faces instantly turned pale.

"It's a bumper!"

Hattori Heiji, who missed the mark every time he called "Kudo" and could find the homonym for it, only panicked for a moment, and immediately thought of an excuse: "The bumper of Uncle Mori's rented car was scratched, and we are discussing it. how should I solve this."

"What, it's a bumper." Xiaolan's face instantly became warm after hearing Hattori Heiji's words.

"Heiji, please go in quickly." Kazuha happily pointed inside and said, "This villa looks so big, like a castle!"

"Now the sun is gradually starting to set. It's time for me to get up later."

The old butler looked at the sun in the west and immediately said: "While dinner is ready, please feel free to visit the interior of the annex."

"Ah, okay." Otaki nodded in agreement.

"In addition, the important inheritance meeting started after dinner." Koga Rikushige said in a low voice with a serious face.

"Understood." Otaki's expression turned solemn upon hearing this, and he nodded.

But Xiaolan, who was watching the two secretly talking to each other, came closer to Conan and asked in a low voice: "By the way, don't worry about the workshop. Does Otaki's criminal sweetheart live in it?"

‘You still believe in that nonsense!’

After hearing Xiaolan's words, Conan on the side showed a dumbfounded expression.

But when they thought that after knowing the truth, the two of them would be so scared that they wouldn't even dare to go in, Conan, Karasawa, and Heiji looked at each other, and finally gave up on telling the truth.

If nothing happens for the time being, it's better not to tell the two of them this terrible rumor.

And after all, they are just here to attend the inheritance meeting, maybe it will be held smoothly and nothing will happen.

Telling the two of them in advance would only increase their worries.

However, compared to Conan's optimism, Tang Ze on the side had almost confirmed that this case was the "Vampire Mansion" case in his mind after hearing about the case and meeting the old butler.

To be honest, there are fewer and fewer outstanding cases in the later period, but this case still left a deep impression on Tang Ze.

Because this is one of the few wonderful cases that can be compared with the previous childhood shadows, and it is also very long, with a total of four episodes!

Because of this, Tang Ze was still very impressed by this case.

After he recalled the case in his mind, he followed everyone into the villa.

This castle-like environment immediately aroused everyone's interest in visiting, so Tangze followed the crowd and began to formulate reasonable plans for the case and contingency plans in case of emergencies.

When the plan was almost completed, I suddenly realized that the sun had already set, and I was taken to the restaurant by the butler.

"It's great. I have only seen this kind of long dining table in movies and TV series. I have never experienced it in person like this."

Looking at the rectangular dining table covered with white cloth in front of her, Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh.

"Really!" Yuan Shan and Ye agreed: "It feels like we have all become nobles!"

"Who are you people!"

At this moment, a woman with blond hair and a red coat came in at the door. When she saw everyone, her face immediately turned ugly and gloomy. She looked at them and said sternly:
  "I'm telling you, you guys are probably my eldest brother's illegitimate children, right?"

"Ruri, calm down."

The man in a green vest who came in shortly after looked at the woman and said, "If you think about it, this wouldn't happen. If they were really illegitimate children, my brother would have called us over no matter what he thought."

"Ma Xin is right. If there is an illegitimate child, Miya will not give it to us as brothers and sisters, but will inherit it for the children." A middle-aged woman wearing a purple coat and luxurious jewelry came over and agreed.

"Shou Yu, this kind of thing may not be possible."

The blond man in a white suit came up from behind the woman, put his arm around her shoulders and smiled: "Didn't I just bring one a few years ago?

A beautiful fiancée who was much different in age and had a child. Unfortunately, that fiancée was unlucky and has passed away.

But, this should be a good thing for you, right? "

"Hanekawa, I'm talking about you..."

As soon as Tokura Masin heard what the man said, Hanekawa in a white suit was grabbed by the neck from behind.

I saw a rugged-looking man wearing an orange sports coat, angrily grabbing the other person's collar and warning: "Next time you let me hear you say something like this, I won't let you go easy!"

"Why, why, don't you feel very lucky in your hearts?"

Although Hanekawa looked guilty as he was being grabbed by the collar, he still looked at the man and sneered, "What, Kishiji, are you really in love with that mistress with a child?"

"You bastard!!" Torakura Kishiji looked annoyed when he heard the man's words.

"Let's stop talking about the mistress, okay? I am also the child of my father and his lover."

At this moment, the bespectacled woman leaning in front of the restaurant door suddenly interrupted the argument between the two.

She looked at the two of them and said calmly: "But legally speaking, if the only relatives of the deceased are brothers and sisters, I can also get a considerable amount of inheritance. Please give me some advice."

"that…"

Just when the atmosphere was tit-for-tat, a maid came from the door and looked at everyone carefully and said: "The chef said that the food is ready. Let me ask you if you can bring the food?

Of course, if you haven’t finished discussing it yet, it’s okay to serve it later. "

"You can also discuss while eating." Hanekawa heard this and said: "Hurry up and bring the food."

Everyone didn't have any objections to Hanekawa's words. After all, everyone was hungry at this point, and they all agreed.

After everyone sat down, they were relieved to learn that Karasawa and his party were guests invited by the butler, Mr. Rikushige Koga, and were not competing for property.

According to their self-introductions, Tangze and others also knew the identities of this group of people.
