Chapter 1485 Strange Shadow in the Mirror
  Although Otaki Criminal didn't know why Karasawa didn't let him and Mouri Kogoro's identities be revealed, he did so truthfully.

Although Mouri Kogoro on the side wanted to "show his holiness in front of others", he still acquiesced in Karasawa's choice after hearing Karasawa's words.

After all, the other party can't do useless things. Even if he doesn't know the other party's deep intention, he still has to look clear on the outside. Otherwise, he will look stupid as a "famous detective".

In this way, Otaki Criminal only introduced himself. As for Karasawa and the other two, they smiled and introduced them. Hanekawa Johei and others thought that the two of them were colleagues or helpers, so they did not delve too much into it.

"Uncle Otaki, I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation."

Hattori Heiji, who was inspecting the coffin at the side, suddenly said: "What Karasawa said is right, the coffin is indeed stained with blood.

I would like to ask you to take the blood stains on the coffin to a nearby criminal to have a look. If what Kazuha and the others saw is true, then this is probably Mr. Sakuya’s blood stains. "

After hearing Hattori Heiji's words, Otaki Criminal agreed, and everyone left the room.

"In the end, big brother didn't show up at all." Tokura Ruri said as she walked.

"He clearly wrote it on the invitation letter and planned to talk about it after dinner, didn't he?" Tokura Masin looked at the watch on his wrist and complained in agreement.

"But he didn't say he wanted to discuss it directly in the restaurant." After hearing this, Yin Cangmin said something to the eldest brother who didn't show up.

"Speaking of which, where is dad?"

Walking in the corridor, Xiaolan looked around but couldn't find her father in the crowd, and she was a little confused for a moment.

"As for uncle, he just got into Otaki Criminal's car and went out together. He said he was going to buy cigarettes." Conan said after hearing Xiaolan's words.

"By the way, how about we take a photo first?"

Halfway through, Mamoru Tokura, who was holding Hanekawa Johei's arm, seemed to have remembered something and suddenly suggested.

"Taking pictures?" Hattori Heiji heard this and said in surprise: "Why do you want to take pictures?"

"This is the rule of our family." Tokura Mamoru smiled and turned his head and explained: "As long as our family members get together, everyone will gather together to take a photo."

"The Tokura family has had this habit since three generations ago." Hanekawa Johei added with a smile.

"But hasn't the owner of the villa not shown up yet?" Yuan Shan and Ye asked curiously, "Can we take pictures like this?"

"Yes, last year, when we were halfway through filming, the eldest brother suddenly ran out of the room and rushed to take pictures."

Tokura Kishiji smiled and said: "Maybe it will be the same this year. When we were happily and noisily taking pictures, my eldest brother might suddenly run out and show his face."

Other members of the Tokura family also agreed. They no longer went back to eat the cold food, but gathered in the room where they usually took family photos in previous years to prepare for a group photo.

They happened to be three men and three women, so the women sat on the chairs and the men stood behind them.

"Sister, are you ready?" Tonakura Kishiji urged after adjusting the camera: "Stop fiddling with your hair. No matter how you arrange it, it won't make you younger."

"You're so verbose!" Tokura Mamoru was doing his hair in front of the mirror on the wall. When he heard his brother's complaints, he said impatiently.

"It's nothing, honey, you are a beauty." Hanekawa Jōhei said this, hugging Tokura Mamoru and kissing her on the face.

"Thank you." After hearing the words of his sweetheart, Tokura Mamoru became very happy, but the interaction between the two of them was a bit inconsiderate of the feelings of the people around them, which made people feel a little goosebumps.

Mainly because in the eyes of outsiders, this is just a pretty boy trying to flatter a rich woman, with absolutely no emotion at all.

After showing off their affection, the two people quickly returned to their places. After adjusting the camera, Kishiji Torakura looked at Xiaolan and said, "When I find them, please press the shutter." ”

"No problem." Xiaolan nodded and agreed.

Seeing everyone posing, Yuanshan and Ye reminded: "Everyone, get ready, it's time to take the photo~"

"laugh!"

After Xiaolan gave a warning, she was about to press the shutter button, but the next moment Xiaolan and Heye, who were facing everyone, changed their expressions, and the next moment their faces were full of horror.

"what!!"

The sudden screams of the two people also scared everyone in the photo. Hattori Heiji who was standing aside saw the two people who suddenly screamed and quickly came over and asked: "What's wrong, what happened?"

Xiaolan pointed to the mirror on the opposite wall and stuttered: "Just now, that mirror behind everyone..."

"The uncle in the coffin we just saw appeared..." Heye said with a pale face.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in Yincang standing in front of the mirror changed instantly. They all subconsciously looked at the empty mirror, and their expressions became ugly.

After all, the sudden reaction of the two girls was indeed a bit creepy, as if it was a scene from a horror movie.

"There is no human figure in the mirror." Conan said after looking at the mirror.

"But he was here just now!" Xiaolan said anxiously for fear that others would not believe it: "Just now that uncle appeared between Mr. Tiaoping and Miss Shouyu!

That pale face looked like a ghost! "

"That's right! That's right!" Heye followed closely and echoed: "What I just saw was the same scene Xiaolan described."

"Have you said enough? Stop saying it, okay!!"

When Tokura Ruri heard what the two said, she said with an angry expression: "You heard the vampire rumors before, so you followed the detective here to have fun, right!?

Please don't treat this place like a haunted house and keep screaming! ? "

"Rumors about vampires?" Xiaolan said with a look of astonishment upon hearing Tokura Ruri's words.

"What is that!?" Yuan Shan and Ye Ye also looked surprised.

"Eh? You really don't know?"

Tokura Mina was surprised when she saw the reaction of the two people, and then explained: "About half a year ago, the body of Miss Shimizu, the maid who used to work in the villa, was found in the forest near the villa of my eldest brother.

All the blood was drained from her body, and her whole body was tied upside down to a wooden stake stuck in the ground. "

"Not only that, but two small holes were also found on her neck, which caused quite a commotion nearby."

Hanekawa Johei had a smile on his face. Not only did he not look scared, but he was observing the reactions of Xiaolan and Xiaolan with a sense of schadenfreude.

"Yes, at that time everyone was rumoring that a vampire appeared." Tokura Mamoru agreed. "Anyway, let's go find where the eldest brother is." Kishiji Tokura interrupted the topic and said: "If this continues, the eldest brother will really be treated as a monster!"

"Are these all true, Heiji!" Kazuha looked at Hattori Heiji excitedly and asked.

"Before coming here, you also mentioned the story of vampires, right!?"

"I'm sorry, because you were too afraid of such stories, so you knew you would make a fuss and leave." Tang Ze smiled apologetically: "So in order not to be forced to follow you back quickly, we concealed the previous cases."

"Yeah..." Hattori Heiji smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry...Kazuha..."

Before he finished speaking, the two girls in front of him disappeared in an instant. Hattori Heiji looked confused: "What's going on? Where are the people?"

"Over there." Tang Ze pointed at the two women who almost teleported out of the room and said helplessly.

"Hey, hey, where are you going!?" Hattori Heiji couldn't help shouting as he looked at the two girls running desperately.

"Don't even think about it, he must have gone to the kitchen." Tang Ze said with a smile: "You two, if you don't hurry up and chase her, they must be scared now."

After hearing Tang Ze's words, the two of them quickly took steps to catch up.

As for Tang Ze, he set his sights on the Yakura family.

Seeing them scattering in all directions and planning to leave, Tang Ze paid no attention to them, but still secretly observed the prisoners' actions through the mechanical spider.

"My dear, let's go back to the room and take a rest." Hanekawa Jiaohei hugged Tokura Mamoru and said warmly.

"Okay, it's okay for the time being." Torakura Mamoru and Wen Yan didn't doubt his presence, and they quickly left the main force holding Hanekawa Johei's arm.

Looking at all this, Tang Ze couldn't help but frown, and finally followed him from a distance.

Because he knew that Hanekawa Johei, a prisoner, planned to take action.

Yes, Hanekawa Johei is the criminal in this case, and this pretty boy is also very ruthless, and the first one he targets is his old baby.

According to the plot in my memory, Hanekawa Jōhei's murder of his old treasure Tokura Mamoyu should have been strangulation.

The exact location is unclear, but after killing her, the other party first hid her in the kitchen freezer, then fixed it on a wooden stake with two wheels made of ice, then tied the body to it and rolled it directly into the forest. Use this to forge his own alibi.

It was precisely because of this that he chose to follow them when he saw them leaving.

Karasawa discovered that the room they chose was very close to the restaurant. Thinking of Hanekawa Johei's plan, Karasawa frowned.

If the place where Hanekawa Johei killed Torakura Mamoru was in his own room, then he seemed to have no legitimate reason to break in.

In this way, your actions will appear to be abrupt.

Moreover, if Tokura Mamoru was strangled, even if he struggled, he would not be a match for a young man. He would be directly "controlled" to death, and he would not even be able to make a sound.

So all things considered, Hanekawa Johei's first murder was not a good time to stop the case.

But it was impossible for Karasawa to watch Hanekawa Johei commit the crime.

Thinking of this, Karasawa found an empty room nearby and turned on his mobile phone, then monitored Hanekawa Johei's actions in real time.

Perhaps because of his first murder, Hanekawa Johei was a little nervous in his behavior, but his sweet words did not stop, coaxing Tonkura Mamoru and Xinxin into full bloom.

But beneath the sweet words, there was ruthless murderous intent.

When Karasawa saw Hanekawa Johei secretly taking out the rope and preparing to strangle his old baby, he knew he needed to take action.

Putting away his cell phone, Tang Ze quickly came to their room and knocked on the door.

In the mobile phone screen, Hanekawa Johei, who had originally planned to sneak attack on his old treasure from behind, was immediately agitated when he heard the sudden knock on the door. He immediately hid the rope and turned to look at Torakura Mamoyu.

"who is it?"

In the bedroom, the unaware Tokura Mamoru didn't even notice the movements of his little baby, and turned to look at the door.

"I am Karasawa who came with Otaki Criminal."

Tangze put away his cell phone and said outside: "I already have an idea of ​​the truth about vampires, so I want you to listen."

"Do you know the truth about vampires?"

After hearing what Karasawa said, Tokura Mamoru opened the door and looked at Karasawa: "You don't really think that the vampire is the elder brother pretending to be a vampire, do you?"

"Let's talk about it more specifically when everyone is together." Tang Ze smiled and said, "It's too troublesome to explain it over and over again. It's more appropriate to talk about it when everyone is together."

After hearing Tang Ze's words, the two could not force anything but nodded and agreed.

"Then I'll ask you two to call everyone on the way before going to the hall where the photos are taken." Tang Ze smiled and said, "After all, I'm not too familiar with this place."

"Okay, no problem." Hanekawa Johei's expression changed when he heard Karasawa's words, and he immediately agreed with a smile.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll go to the kitchen first and call my friends who came with me. We'll call everyone on the way too."

After thanking him, Karasawa walked towards the kitchen, then briefly explained the situation to Hattori Heiji and Conan who were in the kitchen asking the chef for information, and then left the kitchen first.

Halfway towards the hall where he had taken pictures before, Karasawa noticed that there was no one around and called up his phone again to check Hanekawa Johei's actions.

Although Karasawa interrupted Hanekawa Johei's actions before, before he left, he asked the two of them to call the others to gather. This undoubtedly provided the other party with a good opportunity to take action.

Even in order to get Hanekawa Johei to take action, Karasawa did not even choose to use the excuse of gathering everyone to say that he had found the whereabouts of Tokura Sakuya. Instead, he found a very vague excuse to say that he had found the truth about vampires.

This excuse was made by Karasawa to dispel the other party's fear. After all, if he discovered the whereabouts of Tokura Sakuya, it wouldn't be a matter of seconds if the other party planned to take a closer look at the situation.

But if you were to discover the truth about vampires, then based on your memory of the other party's second crime method, you might be able to arouse the other party's "reverse psychology."

Because in the second case, Hanekawa Jōhei not only killed someone, but also made Tokura Sakuya appear in front of everyone as a vampire, confirming the original rumors.

Not only that, they also used toy birds disguised as bats to further exaggerate and imprint the terrifying atmosphere of vampire attacks and murders into people's brains.

This is undoubtedly a very favorable situation for his subsequent murder plan.
