Chapter 959

~4 min read 767 words

The old butler opened the Nanban room. As soon as they entered the door, they could see all kinds of terrible torture instruments placed on both sides, and the atmosphere was gloomy and terrifying.

I don't know what Torakura Takoya asked the maid Hihara Hikari to do in this room while avoiding others. It's really not a normal place.

Conan felt as if he had caught some clues. Regarding this murder case, he suddenly asked: "Did you also search this room when looking for Mr. Takoya?"

"Yes."

The Torakura family nodded.

Conan turned to the crowd and said: "In short, everyone should stay in the restaurant for now. We can't act separately anymore. Even if you go to the bathroom, you must go in pairs."

"What do you mean by this?" Hikawa Johei asked anxiously, "I still have to find my dear."

"There's no other way," Conan looked at Hikawa Johei seriously and said, "Everyone involved in the inheritance is very dangerous now. If you are alone, you might be attacked by a vampire!"

The maid hesitated for a moment, said nothing, turned around, and returned to the restaurant with the Torakura family.

Except for the restaurant, other maids and chefs of the Torakura family also stayed in their rooms. In the huge villa, only Akaso Kaze, Conan, and the old butler were left active.

The old butler worried, "If the opponent is a vampire, will we be okay?"

"No problem," Conan took the old butler back to the photo room, "I have a general idea of the vampire's method. It's just man-made."

"What?" The old butler opened his squinted eyes, "Could it be that the master..."

"The master, who is suffering from an incurable disease, should not have the ability to complete so many things. There is an accomplice in this villa," Conan turned to look at the old butler, "Who do you think is more suspicious?"

"This..."

The old butler lowered his head.

"If you want to say who is more suspicious, it might be the maid Miss Hikari. You should have heard about her mother, Miss Yoko. The day she passed away was a stormy night. Miss Yoko, who was waiting for the master in the mansion, suddenly said she wanted to drive to the master's hospital to pick him up."

"I tried to persuade her that it was dangerous, but she didn't listen. As a result, she really drove off the cliff at the turn of the mountain road. The police investigation concluded that the reason was fatigue driving caused by poor visibility."

"Is there any hidden story about this?" Conan frowned and asked.

"Actually, before she went out, I received a call from the master, asking me to tell Miss Yoko that her daughter's surgery had been successfully completed. Finally, the maid Miss Shimizu went to find Miss Yoko."

The old butler said sadly.

"The maid Miss Shimizu said she might want to see her daughter as soon as possible, but now that I think about it, Miss Yoko's face was very pale at that time, and she didn't look like that. I have been wondering if Miss Shimizu's death has anything to do with this."

"Then what about Mr. Mashin?" Conan grabbed the clue, "What does Mr. Mashin have to do with this?"

"I'm not very clear, but at that time, Miss Yoko was driving Mr. Mashin's car. That day was the 13th anniversary of the old master's death, so everyone returned to the mansion."

The old butler said with a heavy face, "Everyone here today was there that day, so if that accident was really a conspiracy planned by someone as rumored, it's not strange to be punished."

Conan's mind flashed the pure figure of the maid Hihara Hikari.

"Does Miss Hikari know about this?"

"She shouldn't know. The master told me not to say it, saying he would tell Miss Hikari himself."

"If that's the case..."

Conan thought of what the maid Hihara Hikari mentioned.

That email.

The email sent by Torakura Takoya.

If Torakura Takoya explained this in the email, or made an appointment with Hihara Hikari to meet in the Nanban room and confess, Hihara Hikari, who wanted to avenge her mother, would indeed be likely to cooperate in committing this murder.

Moreover, whether it was discovering the body in the coffin, seeing the ghost in the photo, or in the restaurant.

The first one to discover it was the maid Hihara Hikari.

It seems that this maid is directing and acting by herself.

But...

There is no reason to take the initiative to mention the email.
