I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 130 Killing vampires requires wooden stakes

—As things stand, nothing unusual seems to be happening at Dracula's villa.

Conan stroked his chin and followed Ran Mouri back to his seat.

Does this mean that in such a classic locked-room mystery setting like Dracula's villa, nothing terrible ever happens?

He thought for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

Where in this world do such mystical theories come from? Perhaps all those heinous murders they encountered before were just coincidences, and not due to someone's bad luck?
If we think about it this way, then it's only natural that no heinous murders would occur in Dracula's villa.

Crash.

The sound of wheels turning could be heard.

Shunsuke Tadokoro, who had just gone to the collection room with Conan and Ran Mouri to retrieve a movie videotape, reappeared pushing a food cart.

His food cart not only contained the videotape of the movie "Blood Demon World".

There was also a bottle of red wine, and two wine glasses next to it.

Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately muttered,
"Mr. Torakura is indeed a master of horror novels. He even likes to drink some red wine while writing."

"If I were writing novels like Mr. Torakura, I'd probably just drink a few cans of beer to perk myself up at this point, right?"

He was quite envious of this.

If he could drink red wine every night as a late-night snack, he would be willing to accept a million-dollar commission every day!
Such a good thing obviously doesn't exist, and even if it did, it wouldn't fall into Kogoro Mouri's lap.

Ran Mouri, standing nearby, gave Kogoro Mouri a disapproving look and whispered something in his ear.

"Dad, didn't we agree to quit drinking for a while?"

"Why are you suddenly bringing up red wine and beer again? Does Dad really feel that bad if he doesn't drink?"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately replied with an embarrassed smile.
"No, no, how could it be?"

"Not drinking won't affect anything, but I get more inspiration when I'm investigating cases after drinking!"

To this, Conan only thought to himself,

What does it mean that drinking alcohol gives you more inspiration when investigating cases?

You clearly just said whatever came to mind after you got drunk, then went to sleep and just coasted through the night to get points, okay?

Just when Conan thought nothing unusual would happen tonight...

Chen En stood up at that moment.

He lightly rubbed his fingers near his ear, as if adjusting something, and then walked from the living room toward Daisuke Torakura's room, a scene that surprised everyone present.

Why did Chen En go to Torakura Daisuke's room at this time?

Does he have something to do?

————The answer is yes.

Chen En just heard an unusual sound in the earpiece connected to the bugging device.

To be on the safe side, we should go and check it out now.

Watching Chen En walk towards the door at the end of the corridor.

In just a few seconds, they had already reached the front of the door.

Conan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately realized that Chen En had most likely discovered something.

If Chen En hadn't discovered what it was and was simply going over to check things out, he would have walked over like he was taking a stroll. How could he be in such a hurry as he is now?

Now, does this mean that Mr. Shunsuke Tadokoro attacked Mr. Daisuke Torakura?
------

There are no vampires in Dracula's villa. But is there really no vampire in Dracula's villa?

Not entirely.

In Tadokoro Shunsuke's eyes, there is a vampire in Dracula's villa.

The vampire's true identity was his teacher, Daisuke Torakura.

This renowned horror novelist, famous for his vampire-themed horror stories, has long since lost his creative spark and no longer possesses the talent to write books. He relies entirely on constantly sucking the blood of others to maintain his reputation.

He contacted Fumio Doi, a friend of his, and asked Doi to send manuscripts from other horror novel authors to his home. Then, while watching a movie, he would copy the plot, make some changes, and claim it as his own creation.

In fact, even this ability to rewrite things himself is about to be completely lost due to laziness.

That's why he announced to the public that he would be switching to writing superhero novels with superpowers.

In reality, even if Daisuke Torakura, at fifty years old, were to write superhero novels, he would never be able to keep up with the times, no matter how much he tried.

The novels written by Daisuke Torakura were actually ghostwritten by Shunsuke Tadokoro, who was a student at the time.

The reason why he said he was going to switch to writing superhero novels is because Tadokoro Shunsuke is best at writing superhero novels, which is why Torakura Daisuke released such news.

————I wonder how many people have been sucked blood by Daisuke Torakura, this selfish and greedy vampire.

He used the talents, interests, and even lives of others to nourish his own wealth.

Now, Tadokoro Shunsuke is about to take action and completely annihilate this vampire, to avenge the time and talent wasted by those people, and also to avenge his own sister.

------

Shunsuke Tadokoro has a younger sister.

Her name is Kaori Tadokoro.

Because of her serious illness, Kaori Tadokoro needed a lot of money for treatment, but the Tadokoro family could not afford it. So they had to reluctantly give up on her treatment, but Shunsuke Tadokoro refused to give up.

He searched everywhere for money to pay for his sister's treatment.

Finally, after seeing the novel manuscript he had written, Fumio Doi found him and introduced him to Daisuke Torakura as a student. However, nominally a student, he was actually a ghostwriter.

In exchange, Daisuke Torakura will pay for his sister's treatment.

However, his sister still passed away a year ago due to ineffective treatment.

Tadokoro Shunsuke always thought that his sister's body couldn't withstand the treatment.

Until a month ago, the nurse who was taking care of his sister quietly approached him and told him the truth.

—It's true that Daisuke Torakura paid for his sister's treatment.

However, while openly paying for his sister's treatment, he also bribed the attending physician to ensure that Kaori Tadokoro received minimal treatment, thus delaying her recovery as much as possible.

Only in this way can Daisuke Torakura continue to exploit Shunsuke Tadokoro to write new novels for him.

However, such behavior backfired.

The minimal treatment actually caused Kaori Tadokoro's health to deteriorate even more rapidly.

Ultimately, Kaori Tadokoro passed away sooner than usual.

This is why Tadokoro Shunsuke is taking action now.

He looked at Toracura Daisuke, who had been hit on the back of the head and was lying on the ground.

Then, the real wooden stake that had been replaced with a fake wooden stake was removed.

He plunged it deep into Torachou Daisuke's chest!
