"Boom!"

Amidst the rolling thunder, the rain outside became heavier and heavier, and the light of lightning reflected Gao Cheng's figure on the wall of the corridor.

"Ah, Master Ah Cheng..." The maid stretched out her hand, hesitated to stop Gao Cheng, turned around and went back to the dining room with the Yincang family.

Except for the dining room, the other maids and chefs of Yincang's family also stayed in their rooms under Gao Cheng's order, and only Gao Cheng, Xiao Ai and the old housekeeper were left in the big villa for activities.

"But, Detective Kido," the old butler said suspiciously, "if the opponent is a vampire, are we the only ones who are okay?"

"No problem," Gao Cheng took the old housekeeper back to the photo-taking room, "I have roughly figured out the vampire's tricks, but it's just artificial."

"What?" The old housekeeper opened his narrowed eyes, "Could it be that the master..."

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

"this……"

The old butler lowered his head.

"If it's 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 the master to come back in the mansion, He suddenly said that he would drive to the master's hospital to pick him up...

"I tried to dissuade her by saying it was dangerous, but...the result was that she fell off the cliff with the car and the people at the corner of the mountain road. After investigation, the police deduced that the reason was fatigue driving caused by poor vision."

"Is there any secret behind this matter?" Gao Cheng frowned.

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

The old housekeeper said sadly.

"The maid, Ms. Shimizu, said that she might want to see her daughter as soon as possible, but now that Miss Yoko's face was pale, she didn't look like that. I kept wondering whether Miss Shimizu's death might be related to this. ..."

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

"I'm not sure, but at that time, Miss Yangzi was driving Master Ma Xin's car. That day was the 13th anniversary of the old man's death, so everyone returned to the mansion," the old housekeeper said with a serious face, "The ones who are here today Everyone was there that day, so if the accident was really a conspiracy planned by someone, as the rumors say, it is not surprising that they will suffer retribution..."

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

"Does Miss Xiaoguang know about this?"

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

"In that case..."

Gao Cheng thought of what the maid Xiaoguang mentioned.

that email.

An e-mail sent by Yin Cangya...

If Tocang Yami explained this matter in the email, or asked Xiaoguang to meet in Nanman's room and confessed that Xiaoguang, who wanted to avenge his mother, might indeed cooperate in committing this murder.

Moreover, whether it is discovering a corpse in a coffin, or seeing a ghost in a photo, or even in a restaurant... the maid Xiaoguang is the first to be discovered.

It seems that this maid is directing and acting on her own.

But……

There was no reason to take the initiative to mention the email to a detective like him.

"Could it be that Miss Shouyu," the old butler worried, "Could something have happened?"

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

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

"What if she had been killed or gagged somewhere by then?"

Gao Cheng thought of the secret passage under the coffin.

"Your master started recently or half a year ago,

Is there any other strange behavior? For example, renovating the mansion, or buying something. "

"Speaking of it," the old butler recalled, "about half a year ago, the master said that everyone in the mansion should have a rest, so he arranged an overseas trip for about a week. Not long after that, the maid Miss Shimizu happened thing."

"Recently?"

"Recently, the master suddenly bought an inflatable swimming pool for children online, and it seems that he also bought a toy plane, and sent a big box... Oh, by the way, the master recently bought a new stage Locked refrigerator."

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

"Is this the one?"

He tried it, and the larger freezer below was indeed locked. The unlocked upper freezer was normal, but it was also full of ingredients.

"Why lock it?"

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

"Do you have a key?"

"The master should have it, and Xiao Guang may have it too."

"Little Light?"

"The keys to this kitchen and the nearby rooms are kept by Xiaoguang," the chef explained.

"Yes, that's right," Xiaoguang, the maid who was found in a daze, replied, "But I checked in the refrigerator, and there was nothing there, only a big can of seaweed."

After trying several keys clumsily, the maid Xiaoguang finally found the key to open the refrigerator, and it was exactly as she said. There was only a cylindrical jar in the freezer compartment of the two-story refrigerator, which was spacious enough to accommodate two people.

Gao Cheng checked the refrigerator carefully. The temperature of the freezer was very low, and there was still ice in it. There was nothing wrong with it.

"Are there any other places in the mansion where people can hide?"

"I think should not be……"

"It's not good!" A doorman in a raincoat suddenly ran into the room, saw the people gathered in the kitchen, and shouted, "Something happened! Someone died in the forest!"

"forest?"

"Just in front of the gate!"

It was already late at night, it was still raining outside the villa, the air was stuffy, and it seemed to be filled with an irritable atmosphere.

The corpse was located in the forest directly opposite the gate. Yin Cang Shouhe, Yin Cang's parent and daughter, was tied to a wooden stake with his backhands and fell down under the tree. The corpse was wet, and the not-so-thick clothes were clinging to his body, revealing his round and pale chest. , there is still a small amount of water in the gully, the neck is wrapped by a rope, and the strangle marks below are faintly exposed, the eyes are wide open, and the face looks a little horrified under the rain.

"It's Shou and Ms.!"

Gao Cheng rushed to the scene with Xiao Ai in the rain, first checked the surroundings of the corpse, took pictures with his mobile phone, and then approached the corpse to inspect it.

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 Toakura Kishiji to develop the photos before.

Gao Cheng turned his head and asked the two guards, "Did you see her come out?"

The mansion has only one entrance and exit, and the gate switch is also the responsibility of the gate guard. If there is anything abnormal, the gate guard should be the first to find out...

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

"You have been guarding the door?"

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

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

"Could she have come out at that time?" The skinny man glanced at Yin Cangshou and the corpse outside the door.

"Didn't they be found when we tied the corpse to a stake here and went back to the mansion?" Gao Cheng pondered.

"And this hole," Xiao Ai pointed to the hole that was dug out next to the corpse, a thick and thin soil pit of a wooden stake. "Is it ready to be used to insert wooden stakes from the beginning? It's like half a year ago..."

"It's true that I want to hang the corpse upside down like it did half a year ago, but this time it's not finished. At least the corpse hasn't been drained of blood, and there are only strangle marks on the neck."

The scene looked as if the prisoners had left before setting up.

But the strange thing is that almost the whole body of Tonkura Shouyu was firmly tied to the stake, which was 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 truck from the furniture company came over and the explosion on the other side of the tunnel was just to attract the attention of the guard, it would only take a while, and there was a great risk of being discovered.

The murderer's method...

Gao Cheng glanced at the whole mansion, and the figure of Yin Cang Yami flashed in front of his eyes.

This incident is obviously a continuation of half a year ago. Yes, the police at that time may have been misled and only removed the coffin to check the ground, but failed to find the secret passage hidden by the carpet, nor the mystery behind the coffin.

Speaking of which, this place is located at the junction of Gunma Prefecture and Saitama Prefecture, and it seems to be under the jurisdiction of Gunma Prefecture. The police who came here half a year ago must have been...

Gao Cheng rolled his eyelids.

Hope it's not that guy.

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

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

These had happened half a year ago, and only after the incident that the doorman was a maid was invited, it was unlikely that they would do anything quietly.

As for the secret passage...

At the beginning, Yin Cang Yami could only use one week for transformation, and if he wanted to build secret roads, it would easily arouse the suspicion of the workers. There were vampire legends here.

And if there is a secret passage, there is no need to specially arrange the truck of the furniture company and blow up the tunnel.

There was only so much time the prisoner could use.

...

When Gao Cheng returned to the villa again, everyone in the Yincang family who heard the news in the restaurant had already started arguing.

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

"Even if he's a detective, he's too young. Who knows if it's me..."

"Yeah," the little white face cried, "I will give an explanation for what I say, but in the end, my dear was killed?!"

"Let us protect ourselves..."

Everyone was determined and left the restaurant regardless of the maid Xiaoguang's repeated pleas.

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

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

At this time, everyone was encouraged to leave. The murderer obviously had another plan.

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

Apart from the previous clues, she still doesn't know what's going on...

"At least 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 the fact that the opponent may not necessarily be someone with a high IQ." criminal."

"I'll fart in this kind of place..." Xiao Ai muttered in a low voice, and followed Gao Cheng to the balcony window below the crime scene in the attic.

Gao Cheng drew the curtains and observed carefully.

"The coffin and the photographs have been unraveled, and the rest is this, the vampire bat... The bat should be just a toy plane controlled by remote control. The problem is that Tokura Maya suddenly appeared and disappeared, and nothing was left on the attic. There are obvious traces, and we rushed there almost immediately..."

"Could it be some mechanism?" Xiao Ai asked remindingly.

"There is an agency for sure."

Gao Cheng imitated the boyish face at that time and opened the curtains, his eyes fell on the window glass, and 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 Toakura Sakiya seemed to retreat upstairs, but actually fell down, because the window below was blocked by the boy face, so everyone didn't notice.

In this case……

Gao Cheng went outside the balcony, rummaged among a pile of flower pots nearby, saw a pale face with fangs, and stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Ai who wanted to follow.

Covered by flowers and plants is a head plus the shoulder part of the vampire cloak supported by padding.

The owner of this villa, Tokura Sakiya, has actually died, leaving only a head dressed as a vampire...

Gao Cheng's eyes tightened, and the previous scenes flickered in his mind like lightning.

The maid Xiaoguang's cry, the conversations of everyone in the Yincang family, and the story of the old housekeeper...

"So that's what happened." Gao Cheng collected his thoughts.

"So what's going on?" Xiao Ai really wanted to probe to see what Gao Cheng had found, but Gao Cheng's sight was completely blocked, and her eyelids drooped in depression.

Why is this person like this...

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

"Speaking of the case," Xiao Ai raised her eyelids, "Kudou also encountered a case, and the case was solved a long time ago."

"Is there Conan?"

Gao Cheng was stunned.

Speaking of which, the Mori family accompanied Sonoko 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 calmly, "The criminals here haven't planned to stop yet..."
