Chapter 823: Confirmed Eyes
"He is a vampire!" "Help!" The people in the Tonkura family, who have always called themselves a vampire family, were scared by Martin and screamed like ghosts.
Ignoring them, the vampire Martin jumped down from the chandelier, came in front of Conan, stretched out his finger to dip some of the blood dripping from Conan's head, and licked it to his lips under the horrified gaze of everyone.
"Well, it smells like type A blood, belonging to a middle-aged man. The platelets taste very thin, which means he smokes and drinks a lot, has abnormal liver function and insufficient kidney function, and the aftertaste is a bit bitter. I guess he also has premature ejaculation."
"It's my husband!" Torakura Ruri immediately recognized the owner of the blood. It was her husband, Torakura Mashin, who said he was going out to smoke and had not returned since.
Martin sniffed and pointed upwards: "The smell of blood comes from above."
This is nonsense. The blood on Conan's head obviously fell on him from a high place. Naturally, it dripped from the roof and fell on Conan's head along the eaves.
The smoking room happened to be above this room. When everyone was about to go upstairs to check the situation, Martin said leisurely, "Don't worry. There's no point in worrying. And there's something you shouldn't miss..."
As he spoke, Martin frowned and sniffed the air again. The smell of decay was particularly strong here, and the body must be nearby.
"What do you mean not anxious? Go and see what happened to Ma Xin! Is he injured?" Hanekawa Johei was more anxious than Torakura Ruri, and ran out in a hurry.
Led by Hanekawa Johei, the rest of the Torakan family also became anxious and walked outside.
"Hattori, you go and take a look." Conan and Hattori Heiji acted separately. Hattori Heiji followed the people of the Torakura family to check the situation, while Conan and Sera Masumi stayed behind to see if Martin had discovered anything else.
Martin followed the smell to the balcony, looked left and right, then looked down, clicked his tongue twice, bent down and picked up a large empty flower pot from the balcony.
Then he returned to the room and threw the empty flowerpot directly at Conan with a look of disgust.
It was a red pottery flowerpot, which scared Conan. Even if it was not evidence, it would not be a good thing to smash other people's property. He stepped back a few steps in panic and finally caught the heavy flowerpot steadily.
Then Conan was curious about what was so special about this flower pot. He looked around and then looked inside the flower pot.
Conan looked directly into Torakura Sakuya's cloudy eyes.
Even though Conan was a great detective who was used to seeing corpses, this sudden encounter still frightened him. After a scream, he subconsciously raised his hands and threw the flowerpot away.
Sera Masumi had been watching from the side. She hurriedly grabbed the flowerpot that Conan threw in mid-air. After seeing Torakura Sakuya inside, she screamed again and threw it back to Conan.
Tokura Sakuya, the one who scared people in the coffin, took supernatural photos to scare people, and just hung upside down outside the window looking at them, now had his head lying in the flowerpot, still looking terrifying with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open.
Needless to say, the rotten smell that Martin smelled spreading throughout the mansion was the decayed body of Torakura Sakuya. Judging from the degree of oxidation and blackening on the wound surface, the time of death was more than 10-16 hours.
Strictly speaking, this vampire mansion incident is the first time that a corpse has appeared in front of Conan, and it is not a haunted show planned by the owner of the mansion.
"How is it possible?" This was beyond Conan's expectation: "If Torakura Sakoya had already died, who did all this?"
Torakura Sakuya couldn't answer Conan's question, so they could only deduce it bit by bit. "What's the matter with the owner of the mansion we just saw?" Sera Masumi looked at the head in the flowerpot: "The face in the supernatural photo and the one we just saw is indeed the same face, but we clearly saw him shrinking towards the roof, why did he fall down instead?"
Conan ran to the balcony again, looked back at the window glass, and suddenly realized: "The glass in the upper right corner has been changed into a convex lens."
As long as the angle is calculated in advance, the image formed by the convex lens is inverted after a certain distance, and it looks like Tonkura Sakuya is hanging upside down and shrinking back. In fact, Tonkura Sakuya's head was hanging upright outside the window and fell down when the window was opened, but the image was shrunk upwards to the roof.
The glass below is normal, but maybe everyone's vision and attention were following the virtual image of the head upwards, so they didn't notice it... or is there some other reason?
At this moment, a voice above his head interrupted Conan's thoughts.
"Husband!" "Brother Ma Xin!"
"He was attacked by a vampire! My brother turned into a vampire, and there's that guy too! There are two vampires in this mansion! Run!"
"But the road has been blocked..."
"He's dead! Don't destroy the scene!" Hattori Heiji stopped them from entering the scene: "No one here smokes except him. If we find other people's hair here, it will be difficult to explain!"
Then, the three of them also came to the smoking room upstairs. It was called a smoking room, but it was actually a converted attic with a sloping roof. The body of Torako Tora was kneeling in front of the window, with his upper body leaning out of the window, holding a silver knife in his hand, and the wound on his neck was still bleeding.
"The vampire is coming!" Hanekawa Johei screamed and turned and ran, and the other three people from the Torakan family did the same.
Martin was too lazy to stop them. Conan and Sera Masumi focused their attention on the corpse. Unlike Torakura Sakuya, this corpse was fresh.
Masumi Sera: "It looks like he didn't want to be attacked by some kind of entity, so he killed himself."
"——If someone didn't deliberately put it like this." Hattori Heiji corrected: "Did you find anything?"
"Yes." Conan said with dead eyes: "We found Mr. Hakoya."
Then, Sera Masumi showed the flower pot in her hand to Hattori Heiji.
"Really? Wow!" Hattori Heiji thought that Torahaku Sasuke, who was behind the scenes, was caught, but when he looked down, he met Torahaku Sasuke's eyes and also let out a strange cry.
Then Conan talked about the technique of using Torakura Sakuya's head and convex lens.
"How strange." Hattori Heiji was also puzzled: "The secret passage in the house, the replacement of the glass in the room... these mechanisms should only be set up by the owner of the house? If he has been dead for a long time, then who is the criminal?"
"We always thought that the criminal's purpose was to avenge the dead fiancée of Torakura Hakumiya. Could it be that we were wrong?" Conan wondered: "The criminal's purpose is simply to take the inheritance for himself?"
