Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

Chi Feichi walked to Koshizui Nanatsuki's side, looked at the glass door in the restaurant that led to the balcony and was blocked by curtains, and said softly, "It's the smell of blood coming from behind the glass door."

"Can you smell it from such a distance?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki sniffed, but did not smell the slightest smell of blood. He asked curiously, "Are you and Anko very sensitive to the smell of blood? It is easier than normal people to smell it. To the smell of blood and stuff like that.”

"I don't know Hongzi's situation," Chi Feichi said truthfully, "but I do smell the smell of blood more easily now than before."

"So, actually you two are more like vampires," Nanatsuki Koshizu complained softly, and then asked, "With the blood found in the coffin of the owner of the mansion, did you smell anything other than the smell of blood?" The smell?”

"It's like a half-cooked onion. The spiciness is a bit pungent, but it also has a hint of sweetness," Chi Feichi recalled the smell of blood in the coffin and commented, "Not suitable for pure drinking, but suitable to be paired with cooked meat. Blood with similar flavors, especially blood with the flavor of fried steak or barbecue.”

Koshizui Nanatsuki imagined the barbecued meat sprinkled with cumin and other spices, and said repeatedly in his mind, "That's blood" to resist the instinct of salivation, "Ahem... what about the smell of blood coming from outside the glass door of the restaurant? ?Is it the same smell?”

"No," Chi Feichi said, "There is a smell similar to sulfur in the smell of blood outside the glass door."

Koshizui Nanatsuki recalled the smell of sulfur and frowned, "It doesn't feel very delicious..."

"Not all blood is delicious, otherwise Hongzi wouldn't have to look for delicious blood everywhere, and everyone's taste is different, just like some people will like the taste of gasoline. If there are many people in the world besides me and Hongzi, People can smell other smells in blood. When the population base increases, some people may also like the sulfur-scented blood..." Chi Fei belatedly saw Yuesui Nanatsuki nodded, and then returned his gaze to the hanging table in the restaurant. On the curtain, "Across the water, want to see something scary?"

"Scary thing?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki turned to look into the restaurant, staring at the curtains, "Is there a body on the balcony? Or..."

"Boom—!"

There was lightning and thunder outside the window. The moment the lightning lit up, the shadow of the glass door frame appeared on the curtains, and a black figure with only a head appeared.

The black figure appeared on the upper right side of the glass door, with only the outline of its head and collar, and the bottom was empty. The shadow was cast on the curtains by lightning.

Koshimi Nanatsuki looked at the black shadow blankly, with some not-so-good suspicions popping up in his mind.

Could it really be a hung head?

Inside the house, Hibara Hikaru also saw the suspicious black shadow outside the window, and he was so frightened that he let out a soft cry.

Katsura Tori, who was sitting next to her, turned her head in confusion, "What's wrong?"

The light of lightning was quickly extinguished, and all the dark shadows on the curtains disappeared. The bright yellow fabric was illuminated by the lights in the restaurant, and fell softly, echoing the wood color of the wall beside it, exuding a sense of warmth.

Hibara Hikaru stared straight at the curtains, and reminded with a horrified expression, "Just now, there was a strange shadow on the window..."

"Strange shadow?" Hanekawa Johei stood up and walked to the glass door, stretched out his hand and opened the curtain.

Tokura Sakuya's head appeared on the upper right side of the glass door, hanging upside down outside, with the top of his head facing down. His face was pale, his mouth was wide open, fangs were exposed, and there was dried dark red blood at the corner of his mouth.

"ah--!"

Hibara Hikaru was so frightened that he screamed.

Tonakura Kishi, Tonakura Kiri, and Tonakura Sana suddenly stood up.

"Did the eldest brother really... change into a vampire?"

"How can this be……"

Hattori Heiji and Conan were also startled. After coming to their senses, they quickly walked towards the glass door.

"It must be hanging upside down with a rope or something..." Hanekawa Johei said with a horrified look on his face, hurriedly unlocked the glass door, and reached out to push the glass door open.

Under everyone's gaze, the head hanging upside down outside the window quickly flew upwards and soon disappeared outside the glass, as if the person hanging upside down from above had retracted his head.

"Disappeared upward?" Hattori Heiji ran out the door in surprise.

Conan also followed to the balcony. He looked up blankly at the original position of his head. Thinking back to the scene where his head moved upward, he came to a conclusion——

That kind of vertical upward movement mode is simply not something humans can do!

"Wait, wait a minute!" Tosakura Shina pointed at the sky outside the window, with a look of fear on his face, "That..."

In the sky that was once again illuminated by lightning, a black figure fluttered its wings and flew into the distance. Its nearly two-meter wings were waving in the air, beating the air, bathed in drizzle, and making a crackling sound.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki also ran into the house and stood in front of the glass door, watching the black shadow flying away in the sky like everyone else.

Conan stood on the balcony, staring at the sky blankly, "Then, what is that..."

Hattori Heiji felt that the scientific concepts he had adhered to for more than ten years had been impacted, and he said dryly, "It should be a bird, right?"

"But," Conan looked away and looked up at Hattori Heiji, blood flowing rapidly from his temples and sliding down his pale and dull face, "How can there be such a big bird..."

Koshimi Nanatsuki was not frightened by the flying black shadow, but was so frightened by Conan that he almost stepped back unconsciously.

Chi Feichi stood next to Koshizu Nanatsuki, looking at Conan's blood-stained side face, and various similar horror movie plots popped up in his mind.

Well, it's like a ghost boy disguised as a human suddenly transformed...

Hattori Heiji was also frightened by Conan's appearance. He quickly crouched down and pressed Conan's shoulders with both hands, "Kong...伱, why are you bleeding? Could it be that you were bitten by that thing?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just got caught in the rain..." Conan reached out and touched the damp spot on his face with a speechless expression. He put his hand down and looked at the brown blood on his palm, and was stunned for a moment.

"Click! Crack!..."

Drops of blood dripped from the eaves above, forming a puddle of brown-red blood on the balcony floor next to Conan.

"It's dripping from the roof!" Hattori Heiji looked up, stood up with a solemn expression, turned around and anxiously asked Koga Rikushige behind him, "Is there a room above?"

"Yes..." Koga Rikushige said hurriedly, "The attic is set up as a smoking room."

Hattori Heiji and Conan turned around and ran outside the restaurant, leading others to rush to the smoking room.

The body of Tokura Masin was found in the attic smoking room. He was sitting on his knees in front of the window, leaning forward on the window frame, with his head sticking out of the window. The carotid artery was cut and bleeding continuously. The sloping roof flows downward.

At the same time, Tokura Masin was still holding a bloody knife in his right hand, making it temporarily unclear whether he was forced to commit suicide or was murdered and arranged like this.

Torakura Kiri reached the top of the stairs. As soon as she leaned forward and saw the attic, she was stopped by Hattori Heiji and Conan who had gone up to the attic first. She could only stand at a loss on the stairs and turned towards Torakura Kishiji behind her. Casting a helpless look, "I'm done. My husband is my only support. What should I do in the future..."

"Come down first," Tokura Kishi sighed, his face softened, and he stretched out his hand towards Tokura Kiri, "We are all not outsiders, I will not leave you alone."

Tokura Chiri turned around and went down the stairs, threw herself into Tokura Kishiji's arms, and cried loudly.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki stood behind the crowd, turning his head and talking to Chi Feichi in a low voice, "Although it's not good to think randomly at this time, aren't the actions of Miss Keli and Mr. Kishiji too close? If Kishiji Mr. Kishi is just the younger brother of Ms. Keli’s husband. Even if she is sad, she will not make such an intimate gesture, right? Mr. Kishiji doesn’t seem to object..."

Watching the interaction between the two people, she always felt that the dead Mr. Masin had a green head.

"You can ask the housekeeper here about these matters." Chi Feichi reminded him softly.

Koshizui Nanatsuki nodded and asked curiously, "Then do you know what happened to them?"

"Miss Kiri and Mr. Kishiji were originally engaged, but after the beautiful fiancée of the owner, Mr. Sakuya, died, Mr. Kishiji became very depressed. Not long after, the two of them broke off the engagement, and then Miss Kiri married Kishiji-san’s older brother, Asin-san.”

"The relationship is really complicated. It actually involves the fiancée of the museum owner...Does Mr. Kishiji like his eldest brother's fiancée?"

"That's right, at the funeral of Mr. Shoya's fiancée, he cried more sadly than Mr. Shoya..."
