Chapter 954: Who exactly is the client?

~5 min read 989 words

"I just called to confirm," Torakura Mashin said in a panic, "It is said that the tunnel collapse was caused by an unknown explosion, and the road recovery may have to wait until tomorrow."

"Really, we haven't found big brother yet!"

"By the way," Hikawa Johei looked around for the eldest daughter of the Torakura family, "Has anyone seen my dear? I haven't seen her since just now."

"I don't know, but why haven't I seen Brother Anji?"

"Just now Mr. Kaze took that child and found Anji to wash the photos together. They should be in the room acting as a darkroom now."

When they mentioned Akaso Kaze, Mashin's wife, the woman with long hair, twitched her eyebrows and said: "Speaking of that Mr. Kaze, don't you think he is weird?"

"What's wrong?"

"He seems to really think that big brother has become a vampire."

"Maybe he is interested in vampire legends," Hikawa Johei shrugged, "Don't all young masters from rich families nowadays like this?"

In the room of the man with the crew cut, Torakura Anji, Conan saw the group photo from the display room.

Sure enough, as the maid said, an old man with glasses appeared behind the eldest daughter of the Torakura family and Hikawa Johei, who were standing in the back row, opening his mouth wide to reveal terrible fangs.

"There really is such a thing," the man with the crew cut was covered in sweat, his face ugly, "Big brother really turned into a monster through the wall."

"It does look like a psychic photo."

Conan took the photo and looked at it carefully under the light.

Rather than appearing behind the crowd, it appeared in the mirror on the wall.

On the wall behind the eldest daughter of the Torakura family and Hikawa Johei, an oval mirror hung exactly between the two.

We must solve the puzzle as soon as possible, otherwise, I feel something will happen if this continues.

However, why is Mr. Akaso not in a hurry at all?

Is this guy not afraid of more deaths?

Conan was very puzzled.

Returning to the room next to the display room, Conan thought for a while and walked straight to the wardrobe.

From the orientation, it was separated by a wall from when the Torakura family took pictures, and this wardrobe was behind the mirror.

That is to say...

Conan remembered a mechanism he had seen in a certain incident.

After checking it carefully, he exited the wardrobe.

Because the light in the opposite display room was bright, the opposite scene could be seen through the mirror. When taking pictures, the light source on the wardrobe side should be turned on to shine on the face, so that the head image would be reflected over.

"Hey, hey, what is this?" On the other side, other people in the villa also saw the photos washed by the man with the crew cut, Torakura Anji, and completely lost their composure.

"Why did big brother, who was clearly not present, appear in the middle of the photo when taking the picture?"

"Could it be that you guy did something to the film when washing the photos?!"

The panicked crowd subconsciously wanted to find a reason and looked at Torakura Anji who brought the photos.

"What a joke!" Torakura Anji shouted.

"How could it be possible to do something to the film in such a short time? Besides, the camera used for taking pictures was left by big brother in that room. If you don't believe it, you can go find that Mr. Kaze. He washed the photos with me!"

"Speaking of which, where are Mr. Kaze and that child?" Hikawa Johei asked strangely.

"I don't know, I saw him go to big brother's room before."

"Co, could it be that big brother," the square-faced Torakura Mashin panicked, "Did big brother really turn into a vampire like the rumors?"

"What stupid things are you saying," the second daughter of the Torakura family, Torakura Shina, who also wore glasses, smiled, "Vampires only exist in horror and movies..."

"Whether it's disappearing from the coffin or this psychic photo, it must be a trick played by Brother Takoya. It must be that big brother wants to test us to see if any of us will be scared away from here because of the vampire commotion."

"Because if you want to inherit big brother's estate, you must attend tonight's discussion meeting, right?"

Torakura Shina's expression was strange.

"Even if we want to run away, there's no way," Mashin's wife, the woman with long hair, Torakura Ruri, said sullenly, "The only way out is blocked because of the landslide."

"In short," the old butler looked at the panicked crowd and said, "It's better to find the master as soon as possible and let him explain it to us personally."

The villa was shrouded in a dark cloud, and the surroundings were very dark, as if ghosts were peeking.

But the villa with bright lights seemed even more dangerous. Everyone was panicked, and everyone was more or less afraid, except for Akaso Kaze who was walking around the villa with Conan.

He had nothing to fear.

Conan, of course, wouldn't be afraid either. He had already determined that everything in front of him was man-made.

First, the body of Torakura Takoya dressed as a vampire disappeared from the coffin, and then Torakura Takoya, who looked like a vampire, appeared in the mirror of the group photo.

Conan was a little strange.

They were originally brought here to witness the inheritance distribution process and prevent problems.

As a result, the owner of the house had problems first, and they even found clues that the villa owner might be the killer of the incident half a year ago.

Who exactly commissioned Akaso Kaze?

Conan was a little curious.

He had already asked this question on the way, but Akaso Kaze did not answer.
