"Although I haven't been watching him all the time, the master must have never left the coffin, because before he closed the coffin lid, he told me that someone seemed to have recently opened the coffin lid while he was sleeping to watch him sleeping, so I asked him to Put something on the lid.”

"Wait, wait," Conan said with a real brow, "Did you just say coffin?"

"Yes," the chef stopped what he was doing and said, "The master likes to sleep in the coffin, so that time I put three sesame seeds on the coffin lid. When I woke him up, the sesame seeds were still there. The location indicates that the coffin has not been opened.”

Coming out of the kitchen, Conan held his little chin, wondering what was going on in his head.

Chi Chufeng took him to the dining room not far from the kitchen.

There were already many people inside, and just as Chi Chufeng was about to go in, a young maid suddenly bumped into her from behind clumsily.

Chi Chufeng turned around and supported the little maid.

"N-I'm very sorry," the maid apologized with a red face, "Um, are you the Mr. Feng that Mr. Butler mentioned? I am Hikari Hihara, just call me Hikaru."

Everyone in the restaurant noticed the movement at the door and looked over one after another.

"Little boy?" A woman with light-colored long hair suddenly turned ugly when she saw Conan, "What's going on? Does my eldest brother have an illegitimate child?! This is too much."

Conan looked like Mumby.

What illegitimate child? .

Chapter 542 The little maid who drags oil bottle

"How is this possible?" An old man with a square face wearing glasses explained with a smile, "If there was an illegitimate child, my brother would not have asked us to come here."

"That is to say, if there is an illegitimate child, Yami's inheritance will definitely not be given to us brothers and sisters, but will be inherited directly by the children."

The woman who spoke looked like she was quite old. She was dressed quite gracefully and luxuriously. She seemed to have covered her wrinkles with thick foundation, but her slightly saggy skin still showed some signs of her age.

"You can't say for sure, Shouyu." A young man with long blond hair smiled at everyone.

"Didn't he suddenly bring back a few years ago? A beautiful fiancée with a child who is very different in age. It seems that there is nothing strange about having an illegitimate child, right?"

The pretty boy said jokingly to everyone: "However, that fiancée was not very lucky and died soon. Oh, by the way, this should be a good thing for you."

"You guy!" A slender man who looked like a physical education teacher or coach lifted up the pretty boy's collar and said angrily, "Next time you let me hear you say something like this, I won't forgive you. you!"

"Wha, what?" The pretty girl laughed dryly, "Don't you actually feel very lucky? If you were really married and she was still alive, you wouldn't be able to share the inheritance. Or, you Are you secretly attracted to the woman with the child?"

"Everyone," the old butler appeared at the door of the restaurant and introduced:

"This Mr. Feng is the guest invited by the master. He has a very distinguished status. His power and property far exceed our Yincang family. The master specially invited him to witness the inheritance of the Yincang family's inheritance. Mr. Feng, please take a seat?"

After Chi Chufeng sat down, the old housekeeper introduced them one by one.

Those present here are the younger brothers, sisters and their relatives of the owner of the villa.

The middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and the woman with long light hair next to him are the second son Tokura Masin and his wife Tokura Ruri.

The older woman is Tokura Mamoru, the eldest daughter of Tokura, who is now 60 years old.

The pretty boy with long blond hair next to her is named Hanekawa Johei, and he is her boyfriend. Their age difference is more than 30 years.

The second daughter of the Tokura family, Tokura Minoru, wears glasses.

The slender-looking man is the third son of the Tokura family.

Everyone in the restaurant looked a little unnatural, and they all looked at Chi Chufeng curiously.

It is really rare to have a net worth much greater than that of their family, and to be so young.

And he looks very impressive. Obviously he is not only rich, but also very powerful.

After the introduction, the old housekeeper looked at the maid standing aside blankly: "Xiaoguang, is dinner ready?"

"Ah, yes!" the little maid came to her senses and responded hurriedly, "The chef asked me to ask if the food can be served."

"Let's serve the dishes," the old butler nodded with his eyes narrowed. "I think everyone has been waiting for a long time."

The decoration of the restaurant is quite gorgeous, in a typical Western aristocratic style.

After Conan sat down, his eyes habitually never left the Tokura family.

This family has a large group of inheritance heirs in a mess, and the relationship between them doesn't seem to be very good.

"Is Mr. Tokura Sakuya, the owner of this family, suffering from an incurable disease?" Conan asked during the meal.

"Yes, it is said that there is only about half a year left, so we came to this dinner party."

"Because it is written on the invitation that absentees will not inherit the inheritance,"

The pretty boy Hanekawa Johei drank red wine, looked at Chi Chufeng who had a noble aura and laughed at himself, "We are not like Mr. Feng. We are all very short of money. Maybe we won't be able to survive without inheritance."

"??Hey! Is that enough for you?"

The sons of Yincang's family didn't like the handsome face of this rich woman, and now they look even more ugly.

Hanekawa Johei smiled nonchalantly. It was obviously all for the sake of inheritance, but he was still pretending.

"But having said that," Hanekawa Johei put down his wine glass, turned to the empty seat of honor and asked, "Why hasn't Mr. Sakuya come over yet?"

"Yes," the second daughter Tokura Shina followed, "At this time before, he had already started complaining about the food."

"Well..." Aguang, the little maid standing quietly next to her, said, "I'll go to the master's room and have a look. The master may still be sleeping."

"Really."

Yin Cang's parents watched the maid leave the restaurant.

"Why do you want to keep this oil bottle? Is it possible that Sumi is planning to give her an inheritance?"

"Maybe that's what it is," Hanekawa Johei continued to drink, "after all, she can be considered the fiancée's child."

Amid everyone's discussion, Chi Chufeng tasted the food calmly and waited for the incident to happen.

Conan silently turned his little head while eating.

Compared with the issue of inheritance, he actually wanted to find out more about the murder of the maid half a year ago. Despite the chef's testimony, Mr. Torkura Sakiya was still quite suspicious.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that he deliberately created an alibi for himself.

The key is the coffin, but if there is a secret passage underground, the police will probably find it.

Chapter 543 The secret passage under the coffin

Conan's mind was not on food at all, his mind was filled with reasoning and the case.

"what!"

The silence was suddenly broken by the scream of the maid Hibara Hikari.

"What happened?!" Conan's eyes lit up immediately.

He smelled a case.

"No, it's not good!" Hibara Hikaru shouted loudly, "Master, he..."

Tokura Sakuya's room was the innermost room after turning right in the corridor outside the restaurant. When everyone arrived, the maid was slumped at the door, pointing to the room with a frightened expression.

"Master, he seems to be dead!"

"Please," the people from the Tokura family who followed behind said dissatisfiedly, "can you please stop talking nonsense? It's not like you don't know that my eldest brother has been sleeping in a coffin as a bed recently."

"No, it's not!" the maid said, still unsure, "When I opened the lid, a wooden stake was stuck in the master's chest bloody!"

"Wooden stakes?" Everyone was shocked, "Brother, is this joke a bit too much?"

Masanobu Tokura stepped forward to look at the closed Western-style Christian coffin, 580 but the lid could not be opened for a while, as if it was firmly fixed from the inside.

"Is the lid locked?"

"No," the maid had tears in her eyes, "I opened it just now. The master was wearing a black cloak, with sharp teeth exposed, and a wooden stake stuck in his chest. Blood was flowing everywhere. How could this happen?"

Tokura Masin used force again, but this time he easily opened the lid. However, there was nothing inside the coffin, and there was no trace of blood on the flannel cushion.

Conan quickly looked inside and found blood stains on the other side.

"How could this be?" The maid asked in disbelief when she saw the empty coffin, "Master disappeared!"

"Hey, hey," the Yakura eldest daughter said suspiciously, "have you really seen the master? We don't have time to joke with you."

"I think what she said is true. There is indeed blood here."

Conan looked back at the maid, "Have you always been here?"

"Yes," the maid nodded repeatedly, "Master is really inside, and no one came out!"

"How could this happen?" Several members of the Tokura family couldn't help but panicked, "Did the eldest brother really become a vampire?"

"It's not impossible," the eldest daughter of the Yakura family glanced at the coffin and said, "Our ancestors of the Yakura family had rumors of being possessed by vampires. Coupled with the various strange behaviors of Xue Mi recently, maybe he also Possessed by a vampire."

"Haha, you're kidding, right? Just kidding."

The people at the scene were panicked, and the atmosphere became a little weird.

"Yes, brother must be joking, maybe he wants to test us, because the invitation mentioned that we will discuss inheritance issues after dinner. He should be out soon, right?"

"Maybe…"

Everyone in the Tokura family talked about returning to the restaurant, but Chi Chufeng and Conan stayed at the scene.

Conan leaned into the coffin, reached out and touched the bottom, and finally lifted the flannel directly, revealing a sliding door underneath. There was also a tunnel entrance that could be opened on the ground under the coffin.

After the floor tiles are pulled apart, a narrow staircase can be seen by the light.

Conan's eyes suddenly lit up, "There was indeed something wrong with the case half a year ago."

"Um, Mr. Feng..." The maid Hibara Hikaru who ran back saw Conan checking the coffin and Chi Chufeng standing next to her. She said in a daze outside: "Wan, dinner is already cold, do you want me to heat it up again? "

"But the big brother still didn't show up."

After dinner, the Tokura eldest daughter suggested: "Why don't we take the photo first? Last year, just when we were about to take the photo, Saki suddenly ran into the room."

"That's right," the remaining people said happily, "if everyone enjoys making noises and taking pictures, big brother might suddenly appear."

Chi Chufeng led Conan over. Behind him, the maid Hikaru Hibara bit his fingers hesitantly, still thinking about Conan's coffin search before.

"Um, Mr. Feng, are you..."

"Excuse me," Conan suddenly asked everyone in the Tokura family, "What are you doing?"

"When we get together as a family like this, we take pictures, and it's been like this for three generations."

"is it?"

Conan's heart lit up.

This is just right, he can go to that secret passage to investigate, maybe he can collect some clues.

The room where the photo was taken was in the collection showroom. The maid Hibara Hikaru wanted to ask Chi Chufeng, but everyone in the Tokura family called her over to help take the photo.

"Hurry up," Yin Cang's parents and daughter said dissatisfiedly, "What are you dawdling about?"

"Come on, come on!" The maid Hibara Hikari ran over in a panic.

Conan saw that no one was paying attention and turned to leave.

Chi Chufeng also followed him.

Conan returned to the master room of the villa again. The position of the coffin unexpectedly changed slightly. It seemed normal, but Conan was sensitive to the fact that it was not in the same position as before.

To be precise, the coffin seemed to be closer to the wall.

Chapter 544 The frightened little maid

Conan lifted up the carpet on the side and found the secret passage underneath the coffin.

He entered the secret passage, went down through the stairs, pushed open a movable door at the end, and found a storage room outside. The secret door was disguised as a whole wall of lockers.

So, half a year ago, the owner of the villa made an alibi like this.

"But," he wondered, "how could the police not notice it in the first place?"

"I'm afraid the coffin has been moved."

Chi Chufeng looked at the secret passage and explained.

"The coffin is placed next to the carpet. There are two gaps in the middle of the carpet that is blocked by the tables and chairs. The middle part should be able to be pulled off."

"In this way, if the carpet is artificially shortened, the coffin will appear above the secret passage. On the other hand, if the carpet is lengthened, the secret passage will be hidden. If the police just move the coffin, it will be easily ignored."
