Chapter 1486 The Mystery of Disappearance
  Seeing the scene where Hanekawa Jōhei and Tokura Mamoru separated and went to get the dagger, Karasawa knew that everything was stable.

Sure enough, as he predicted, Hanekawa Johei did not choose to stand still because his first murder plan was interrupted, but continued to commit the crime.

But in fact, this is a normal choice. After all, from Hanekawa Jouhei's perspective, although his first target is his old treasure Torakura Mamoru, there is no sense of ritual that he must kill her first.

The reason why Torakura Mamoru was chosen as the first target to attack was probably simply because he had the closest relationship with him, and women were less powerful, so it was easiest to attack by surprise.

And when he was planning to take action for the first time, if someone suddenly knocked on the door and interrupted his action, he would only attribute it to his unlucky timing, but would not suspect that his actions were exposed.

After all, Tangze's actions were based on the "Great Prophecy Technique". Normal people would not think that someone could see through the future and stop him from taking action.

Moreover, after listening to Karasawa's announcement of the truth about discovering vampires and convening everyone, Hanekawa Jōhei's subconscious reaction must have been that this was a good opportunity to kill someone and make the matter pornographic.

Because only in this way can he fish in troubled waters, and this is undoubtedly the completely opposite situation to Tangze's excuse for gathering everyone.

Not only can he destroy what Tangze wants to say, but also make his reasoning become unreliable guesses.

It can further prove that all this is the vampire killing people, steering the situation to his advantage.

Therefore, it is reasonable that Hanekawa Johei will continue to commit crimes.

Karasawa stayed in the empty room and waited patiently for the matter to ferment. Sure enough, Hanekawa Johei and the two of them told the other people they met about his plan to gather everyone after a while.

Then everyone either went back to the room to call their partner, went to find someone else, or went straight to the room where the photos were taken.

As for Hanekawa Jōhei, he first arranged a series of mechanisms, and then found a time when there was no one else around to invite Tokura Mayobu to smoke and chat in the smoking room converted into an attic upstairs.

The other party just thought that Hanekawa Johei was addicted to smoking, so he readily agreed.

Seeing this, Karasawa knew that Hanekawa Johei was planning to take action, so he quietly followed him.

"What's going on? Why haven't you come here yet?"

In the photo studio, Tokura Ruri shook her legs and looked at Hattori Heiji and others impatiently: "Where is your companion? Didn't he say that he already knew the truth about vampires?

Why doesn't he show up now that we're all here? "

"Maybe he's preparing something."

Although Hattori Heiji didn't know Karasawa's plan, he still stood by him and took the initiative to comfort him: "Don't worry, since he said he already knows the truth about vampires, he must be sure before calling us."

"I hope you can really give us an explanation."

At this moment, Kishiji Tokura walked in with a photo and an ugly expression on his face, "Otherwise, I really don't know what's going on."

"What's wrong?" Conan couldn't help but ask after hearing what Tokura Kishiji said.

"Everything those two little girls saw before was true."

Tokura Kishiji showed the photo in his hand to everyone: "Brother, he really turned into a vampire and appeared in the mirror!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard Tokura Kishiji's words, and immediately approached Tokura Kishiji to check the photos in his hands.

"Wait a minute, what's going on! This is completely a supernatural photo!"

Torakura Ruri looked at the mirror behind her in the photo, and saw the figure of Torakura Sakuya, who looked like a vampire, and couldn't help but feel hairy all over her body: "Why was the eldest brother who was not there suddenly appeared in the photo when he was photographed?"

"I don't know, I have no clue at all." Kishiji Tokura looked at the photo and felt cold all over.

"Isn't it Kishiji who played a prank on the photo?" Tokura Mamoru looked at the strange photo in the other person's hand with a suspicious look on his face.

"How is it possible, sister!" Tokura Kishiji said excitedly after hearing this: "How could I possibly tamper with the film in such a short period of time!"

"So has Koya really turned into a vampire?" Tokura Mamoru said in fear.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Tokura Mina rejected without hesitation: "Vampires and the like are just fake creatures in film and television works.

Whether it's the figure disappearing from the coffin or the supernatural photo, they must all be pranks and tricks arranged by Brother Suomi. "

"I think not." Hattori Heiji looked at the photo in Tokura Kishiji's hand and said, "This location is the same as what Kazuha and the others described."

"I think the uncle that Sister Xiaolan and the others saw there at that time must be Master Xia Mi." Conan agreed.

"So where are your companions?"

A somewhat frightened Tonakura Mamoru and Hattori Heiji looked at him and urged them: "Didn't he say that he already knew the truth about vampires?

Then let him come out quickly and explain all these things clearly! "

"this."

Because they didn't know Karasawa's whereabouts and what he was doing, Hattori Heiji and Conan could only scratch their heads helplessly, but didn't know what to say.

And just when the atmosphere was somewhat tense, Hanekawa Johei was suddenly pushed directly into the room and fell to the ground.

The ones who entered immediately after were the ugly-looking Torakura Mayobu and the calm-looking Karasawa.

"Dear." Torakura Mamoru looked at Hanekawa Johei who fell to the ground, and quickly ran to him to help him.

But when he got closer, he discovered that Hanekawa Johei's hands were tied behind his back.

"What the hell is going on!?" Tokura Mamoru looked up at the two Karasawa who came in with him and asked.

"Sister, you have found a good lover!" Tokura Masin said with a gloomy face: "You almost cut my throat!!"

"What!" Torakura Ruri's expression changed after hearing this, and she quickly came to Torakura Masin: "Hubby, are you okay!?"

"Didn't you ask me to explain the truth about vampires?"

Karasawa looked around at the people with different expressions, then pointed his finger at Hanekawa Johei who was lying on the ground and said: "He is responsible for all this!"

When the words fell, they sounded like thunder in everyone's ears, and disbelief appeared on everyone's faces.

"How can it be!!"

"what is happening!?"

"Then why did he attack my husband!?" Everyone who was originally shocked when they heard Tokura Masin's words suddenly exploded after hearing Karasawa's words.

They never expected that everything that happened before was actually Hanekawa Johei's fault, not the prank of their elder brother Tokura Sakiya as they thought.

"what is happening?"

Watching all this, Tokura Mamoru became impatient: "Why did my dear become the leader of the vampire, and where are the others?"

"Brother Su Mi is dead."

Hearing Tokura Mamoru's words, Tokura Masin seemed to recall some bad scene, and his face became more and more ugly: "He is dead..."

"What!?" Tokura Mamoru said in disbelief: "Kakuya is dead?"

And this news instantly made the rest of the people feel like they were struck by lightning, and they became even more confused, and it also made everyone's faces look more and more confused.

They couldn't help but focus on Tang Ze, hoping to get an answer.

"Then let's start with the mystery of the vampire's disappearance that happened in the first place."

Karasawa looked at the pairs of eyes that were seeking knowledge. He turned around and said at the same time, "Heiji, please look at that guy Hanekawa Johei. He is the initiator of everything this time."

"Oh, leave it to me." Hattori Heiji nodded and pulled Hanekawa Johei up by the rope trapped behind his back.

Amid various complicated emotions, the group followed Karasawa to the room where Torakura Sakiya was.

"Xiaoran and Kazuha saw Mr. Tokura Sakiya in the coffin, but when we opened the lid of the coffin, there was nothing but a little blood stain."

Standing in front of the coffin, Tangze said: "But actually when we opened the lid, it didn't open the first time. It suddenly opened at the back for some reason.

Later, I suspected that the coffin had a mechanism or a secret passage, and I did find clues later. "

Having said this, Tangze moved the sofa in the living room, then walked to the edge of the red carpet under the coffee table and stretched out his hand. He pulled out a long, neatly cut red carpet in the middle of the original square red carpet.

"The tiles under the coffin were not processed in any way because the mechanism was not there, so we were confused for a while."

Tangze said: "But in fact, it was just that we were looking in the wrong place. After pulling out the red carpet, we pulled the red carpet near the coffin that was not pressed by the coffee table and chairs, and we found the mechanism."

As Karasawa spoke, the tiles under the carpet soon revealed a grid-like cut mark that was completely different from the texture of the tiles next to it.

"And this place leads to the warehouse on the first floor." Karasawa said and looked at Hanekawa Johei: "Am I right?"

"Yes..." Hanekawa Johei nodded helplessly.

"But, we didn't see any stairs over there in the warehouse..." Tonakura Mina said in surprise when he heard this.

"It's just that you didn't notice it." Facing Karasawa's sharp gaze, Hanekawa Johei shrank his neck and explained: "One of the bookshelves is decorated to hide the secret door."

"Speaking of which, ever since I came back from that trip, I always felt that the warehouse seemed much narrower than before."

After hearing what Hanekawa Jōhei said, the old housekeeper Koga Rikushige realized it in hindsight.

"Can you tell me in detail?" Tang Ze looked at the old housekeeper and asked.

"About half a year ago before the death of the maid Qingshui, the master gave everyone in the villa a holiday to let them have a good rest and let us travel overseas for about a week." The old housekeeper explained.

"Well, that means he asked someone to make this secret passage that week." Hattori Heiji suddenly said.

"Wait a minute, I know there is a secret passage, but how did the eldest brother come out of the coffin?" Tokura Kishiji said with a puzzled look on his face: "And didn't you say that the eldest brother was already dead? How could he come out? ?”

"It was indeed Mr. Sakuya we saw at that time..." Xiaolan said hesitantly: "But from what Karasawa said just now, Mr. Hanekawa did all of this..."

"That's right, because Mr. Sakuya is dead, and all you see is his corpse." At this point, Tang Ze said: "And it's a mutilated corpse with only half of the body left, which is what you saw at that time. .”

"what!"

Hearing Tangze's words, the Toracura family members changed their expressions one after another. Xiaolan and Kazuye became pale again when they knew that what they saw was such a terrifying scene.

"Hanekawa, did you kill my eldest brother?!" Upon hearing this, Tokura Kishiji rushed forward angrily and grabbed Hanekawa Johei's collar again.

"It's not me!" Hanekawa Jōhei's hands were tied and he couldn't resist. He was afraid that Torakura Kishiji would beat him up, so he quickly shouted: "When I found out, he was like this!!"

"This involves another matter. In order to avoid confusion in everyone's understanding, I will talk about it later."

Tangze said: "Back to the topic, there is also a sliding door at the bottom of the coffin, and a powerful magnet device is installed at the seam of the lid of the coffin.

As long as it is closed, the coffin lid will seem to be locked, and the lid can only be opened smoothly using the remote control.

By the way, because the corpse only has the head, and the lower body is just a prosthesis stuffed with a lot of clothes to make it swell.

That's why he was able to recover the body immediately after Xiaolan and the others saw it without making any shaking noise.

And this is why Mr. Sakuya disappeared in the coffin. "

"I see. I'm afraid Mr. Sakuya used this mechanism to kill the maid, Miss Shimizu."

Hattori Heiji said suddenly: "When we asked the chef in the kitchen, he said he was curious whether the master was really sleeping in it, so he secretly put three grains of rice in.

But now that there is a secret passage under the coffin, as long as you ask Miss Qingshui out and use the secret passage, you can kill the other party silently. "

"It's almost the same."

Karasawa nodded and said: "But after this, Mr. Sakuya should be dead, and everything today is Hanekawa Johei's fault.

So next, let’s talk about the supernatural photo. In fact, these plans are linked one after another.

After scaring Xiaolan and Xiaolan through a secret passage in Mr. Sakuya's room, he used the remote control to unlock the coffin lid.

When everyone was surprised by the sudden disappearance of Mr. Sakiya in the coffin, Mr. Hanekawa sneaked away the master's head and sent it to the locker next to the photo room. "

Having said this, Tang Ze looked at everyone and smiled and said, "Then let's move to the next room.

Seeing it with your own eyes can help you understand more intuitively the mechanism of "supernatural photos". "

As Karasawa spoke, he walked out of Tokura Sakuya's room first. After hearing Karasawa's words, people with different expressions also walked towards the next door to the photo-taking room.
