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

Chapter 131 Will people who have their blood sucked by vampires also become vampires?

The room remained completely dark, but for a fleeting moment, a barely perceptible glimmer of light appeared.

Tadokoro Shunsuke suddenly looked up at the door.

A dark figure, whose identity was completely obscured, was standing at the doorway.

A deep, hoarse voice came through.

"You should turn yourself in."

"Given the snowstorm and the enclosed mansion environment, the murderer has absolutely no chance of escaping. They can only be one of the people in Dracula's villa. If you don't surrender..."

"Who do you think should take the blame for this murder?"

The room suddenly lit up at that moment.

Chen En had already pressed the light switch.

His gaze fell on Tadokoro Shunsuke, who was holding a bloodstained wooden stake.

Then, the gaze fell on Daisuke Torakura, who was still wearing the Dracula uniform cloak, his chest pierced by a wooden stake, leaning against the cross, his eyes wide open in death.

—The situation is obvious.

Shunsuke Tadokoro killed Daisuke Torakura.

Chen En had already learned a bit about Tadokoro Shunsuke's situation when he talked with Doi Fumio and Hamura Shuichi. He was also aware that Tadokoro Shunsuke's sister had passed away a year ago and that his condition had deteriorated rapidly.

He didn't even need to think much to guess what Tadokoro Shunsuke's motive would be if he wanted to kill Torakura Daisuke.

Therefore, Chen En simply repeated himself.
"Tadokoro Shunsuke, you should turn yourself in."

"If you turn yourself in, your crime can be reduced from its original level. Considering the circumstances surrounding your sister, the judge may sentence you for revenge killing or crime of passion."

Chen En looked at Tadokoro Shunsuke, who was holding a wooden stake and seemed to be hesitating, and then said,

"Of course, you have another option."

“Come on, kill me, and then escape from here along your original route. Let’s see if you can escape in this blizzard, given the terrain of this desolate wilderness.”

"As long as you don't die in the freezing cold of a blizzard, you might have a chance to be exonerated."

—The death of Daisuke Torakura had a certain element of the saying that those who do many evil deeds will inevitably perish.

Etsuko Torakura was a victim of a scheme orchestrated by Daisuke Torakura, who used her family's company as leverage to coerce her into marrying him. Fumio Doi, on the other hand, was an accomplice of Daisuke Torakura, having stolen and defrauded manuscripts together for years.

The reason this guy has lived for so many years is entirely because he didn't buy a house in Beika Town.

Otherwise, it would be a perfectly normal plot development if Torachou Daisuke went out one day and was spotted by a student whose manuscript he had stolen, and then stabbed to death in an alley.

In fact, Chen En found it strange and was very curious as to why Tadokoro Shunsuke was so stubborn.

Why did they have to choose the night that Kogoro Mouri and he came to Dracula's villa to kill Daisuke Torakura? Are these murderers really so confident in their methods that they think they can rely on a detective as the most reliable eyewitness?

It can only be said that even the best swimmers can drown.

If only Tadokoro Shunsuke read less of Torakura Daisuke's horror novels, he could one day, while Torakura Etsuko and Hamura Shuichi are out on a date, simply put a sack over Torakura Daisuke's head and throw him off a nearby cliff.

Even in their next life, the police won't be able to find Daisuke Torakura's body. Why bother with all this mess?
What is your choice?

Chen En asked again.

The door to this room is locked from the inside.

Although the soundproofing was so good that no one could hear anything outside, Chen En knew without listening that the people outside were definitely asking him what had happened inside the room.

Time is running out for Tadokoro Shunsuke.

Shunsuke Tadokoro's forehead was sweating.

He devised a plan to perfectly exonerate himself, but he didn't expect that this plan would be directly exposed at the scene of the murder just after he committed the crime and before he could even leave.

Chen Enlai's speed on the scene was simply too fast. So fast that he couldn't make any targeted modifications to the plan; he could only instinctively grip the wooden stake in his hands.

—Tadokoro Shunsuke's will is being tested.

He despises vampires like Daisuke Torakura.

However, if he attacked an innocent person in order to escape the crime of killing Daisuke Torakura, then how is he any different from the vampire he hates the most?
Shunsuke Tadokoro picked up the wooden stake and slowly stood up.

He looked at Chen En in front of him, but only asked one last question.
How did you know I was going to make a move against Daisuke Torakura at this time?

He was puzzled.

Even though people outside, such as Fumio Doi and Hideichi Hamura, had mentioned that his sister had passed away a year ago.

That person shouldn't have connected his sister's death to his intention to kill his teacher, Daisuke Torakura!

Normally speaking, this person shouldn't feel grateful to Daisuke Torakura for paying for his sister's treatment, even if his sister dies. Shouldn't one be willing to die for one's confidant?
Chen En remained silent.

He simply reached out and pressed his hand against the wall next to him, and then, whoosh!

In front of Shunsuke Tadokoro, he removed the inconspicuous listening device and put it in his pocket.

Upon seeing this, Tadokoro Shunsuke's pupils contracted.

—He realized a major problem.

However, Tadokoro Shunsuke did not say it.

He only asked one last question.
"Who are you anyway?"

Chen En already knew his plans.

Therefore, he answered calmly and affirmatively.
"I am Chen En."

------

The door to Daisuke Torakura's room was finally opened.

However, the scene inside caused those who saw it to gasp in surprise.

Daisuke Torakura, dressed as Dracula, was actually mistaken for a vampire and nailed to a stake!

The person who killed Torakura Daisuke was none other than Tadokoro Shunsuke, who was standing next to the corpse!

The student whom everyone considered to be the most valued by Toracura Daisuke spoke in a low voice.
"I killed Torakura Daisuke."

—Words are like boulders, falling into the crowd and stirring up huge waves.

A look of relief appeared on Torakura Etsuko's face, with little trace of sadness.

Meanwhile, Shuichi Hamura frowned as he looked at Shunsuke Tadokoro and sighed inwardly.

Fumio Doi wanted to get the briefcase from the room.

However, when he saw Kogoro Mouri next to him, he hesitated to go.

I heard that before becoming a detective, Kogoro Mouri was a detective with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

If he acts now and Kogoro Mouri discovers the suspicious briefcase, he'll be completely finished. He might as well gamble that Kogoro Mouri will be as confused as he usually is and won't notice the briefcase.

After all, the murderer who killed Hucang has already turned himself in, hasn't he?
"What...what happened?"

Kogoro Mouri stared wide-eyed and asked in confusion.

I was just reading the newspaper for a short while when my client suddenly died?

Then, less than three minutes after he walked over, the murderer turned himself in?
Who speedrunned this and skipped my part?
