Chapter 949: Is Conan an illegitimate child?

Akaso Kaze took Conan and followed the white-bearded butler into the villa.

Conan asked: "I heard that a vampire murder case happened here?"

The white-bearded butler looked at Conan curiously.

Akaso Kaze smiled and said: "This little guy is determined to be a detective, so he is very interested in reasoning cases."

The white-bearded butler nodded suddenly, squinted his eyes, and explained: "Vampires are just legends, but there was a murder case."

"About half a year ago, the body of the maid, Miss Shimizu, was found in the forest next to this mansion. It was raining that day. Miss Shimizu was tied upside down to a wooden stake stuck in the ground, and there were two small holes in her neck, as if all the blood in her body had been sucked dry."

"The body was discovered by an old couple picking wild vegetables. It is said that because the skin of the body was really white, they thought it was a scarecrow to drive away bears at first."

"It sounds like a vampire murder, but someone must have committed the crime, right?" Conan said.

"It was raining that day, the ground was muddy, and no one saw any suspicious characters, so the police didn't find anything after the investigation."

The old butler said, "At first, the police suspected the master, because Miss Shimizu had complained to the chef that the master had been very scary recently, and she was afraid that she would be in danger, so she wanted to quit her job as a maid, and then that kind of thing happened."

"Your master?" Conan asked in surprise.

"But the master has an alibi. During the estimated time of Miss Shimizu's death, the master had been sleeping in his room. Ironically, it was the chef who proved this."

The old butler said while walking.

"It's natural for Miss Shimizu to be afraid, because the master has indeed been a bit strange since that time. In order to avoid the sun, he has been sleeping in his room during the day. Recently, he even threw away all the silverware he used to love, saying that he was allergic to silver."

"Just two days ago, the master also smashed a soup bowl. It contained the soup with garlic that he used to like to drink, and he said angrily that this would make the blood rot, and he never wanted to see it again."

Conan frowned and said: "It sounds like a legendary vampire."

"In the eyes of the maid, Miss Shimizu, it probably looked like this. It was just like a vampire's behavior."

After passing through the courtyard, the old butler paused and turned around.

"The sun is about to set. At this time, the master should be waking up soon. So, before dinner is ready, Mr. Kaze, please feel free to walk around the mansion. The matter regarding the inheritance will be discussed after dinner."

Although the old butler said so, it was not good to walk around randomly. It would be fine if someone led the way.

And it would be troublesome if they ran into people from the villa and had to explain.

Conan asked: "If possible, can you take us to see the chef first?"

"All right." The butler nodded.

The Torakura family has three chefs, but only one head chef, and the other two are young helpers. When the old butler took Akaso Kaze and Conan to the kitchen, the scene was busy.

It can be seen that there are quite a few guests in the Torakura family this time. It is said that they are all relatives of the same generation who have the right to inherit the estate, because the owner here has neither a spouse nor children.

"Ah? Yes, I am the chef who testified for the master half a year ago,"

Hearing Conan's inquiry, the somewhat fat chef responded while cooking, "The master wanted to taste the soup immediately after waking up that day, so he asked me to send the soup directly to him and wake him up by the way."

"Although I wasn't watching all the time, the master definitely didn't leave the coffin, because before he closed the coffin lid, he told me that someone seemed to have lifted the coffin lid to watch him sleep while he was sleeping recently, so he asked me to put something on the lid."

"Wait, wait a minute," Conan said with his eyebrows twitching, "Did you just say a coffin?"

"Yes," the chef stopped his work and said, "The master likes to sleep in a coffin, so that time I put three sesame seeds on the coffin lid. When I woke him up, the sesame seeds were still in the same position, which means the coffin had not been opened."

Coming out of the kitchen, Conan held his little chin, not knowing what he was thinking in his head.

Akaso Kaze took him to the restaurant not far from the kitchen.

Quite a few people had already arrived inside. Akaso Kaze was about to go in when a young maid suddenly bumped into him clumsily from behind.

Akaso Kaze turned around and supported the little maid.

"I, I am very sorry," the maid apologized with a red face, "That, you are Mr. Kaze mentioned by the butler, right? I am Hihara Hikari, you can just call me Hikari."

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

"A little boy?" A woman with light long hair looked at Conan and her face turned ugly immediately, "What's going on? Does my big brother have an illegitimate child?! That's too much."

Conan looked confused.

What illegitimate child?
