Chapter 818: Ghost in a Hurry
On the other side, the people of the Tonkura family were still complaining.
"But we clearly agreed to discuss the distribution of the inheritance after dinner, but Big Brother never showed up."
"Well, maybe my brother doesn't want to face the fact that he doesn't have much time left."
"But at that time, they didn't say that we were talking in the restaurant..."
Suddenly someone suggested: "Let's take the photos now."
"Take a photo? That's fine too..."
"It happened last year, right? We were taking photos when my brother suddenly rushed in, shouting 'Count me in!'"
"Maybe if we make so much noise taking pictures, my brother will be unable to resist showing up again."
The age gap between the brothers and sisters of the Yincang family is too big, so they are estranged and rarely get together. But once a year when they get together, they always take a group photo.
The camera was brought by Torahara Kishiji. In this era when not only digital cameras are widely used but even mobile phones can take photos, playing with SLR film cameras has become a hobby for a few people.
Yincang's house has a decorated study room, which is spacious and empty, with only many photos hanging on the walls. It has no other use all year round except for taking group photos.
The people from the Tonkura family lined up in two rows in front of the camera. Tonkura Moriyo turned around and fixed his hair in front of a mirror on the wall behind him, but he was not satisfied no matter how he fixed it.
Tora-Kura Kishiji, who was adjusting the camera angle, was getting impatient waiting and joked, "No matter how much you spruce yourself up, you won't look younger, big sister."
"That's really too much." Inakura Mamoru turned around angrily.
"It's okay." Hanekawa Johei beside her kissed her on the cheek affectionately: "Mm, in my eyes, my dear is always the cutest."
"Tsk."
After confirming that his family had formed an appropriate composition in the camera, Torahara Kishiji turned around and asked Xiaolan, who was watching the fun on the side, to press the shutter, and he also went to the position reserved in advance among the crowd.
The ghost-changing incident scared the three girls, so they held Xiaolan on both sides and came to the camera hand in hand. Yuanzi counted three, two, one, Xiaolan called out "Qiezi", and Heye pressed the shutter.
The moment the shutter button was pressed and the flash went off, a person appeared in front of the three girls.
An old and pale face with fangs, pointed ears, wide-open eyes and a big mouth suddenly appeared in the crowd.
"Aiya——!" Then a triple scream was heard.
"What's wrong?" asked everyone, covering their ears.
The three girls hugged each other, and Sonoko pointed her finger at the Torakura family who were taking a photo together: "Vampire! There was a vampire there just now!"
However, the place where the figure had just appeared was now empty: "A pale-faced uncle was standing behind the two of them! He suddenly appeared and then disappeared!"
"It's him! He is the person lying in the coffin just now!" He Ye shouted immediately.
However, only the three of them saw the figure of the vampire. At this time, the Tokura family looked in the direction they pointed, and it was naturally empty. Martin, Conan, Hattori Heiji and Sera Masumi were standing at the door watching the fun. Not to mention people, even if a vampire really turned into a bat, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Martin walked behind the two men, where the girls said the vampire appeared, squatted down and tapped the floor with his fingers. The sound was very dull, and it was solid underneath, so it seemed there was no tunnel.
Then he patted Hanekawa Johei's butt and said, "Could it be that someone has secretly hidden a tablet to play with pictures again?" Hanekawa Johei covered his butt and dodged.
Martin looked up. The plaster ceiling also looked like a one-piece piece, and there didn't seem to be a secret door.
Torakura Ruri suddenly got angry: "Enough! You guys just heard the legend about the Torakura family and came here to explore as if it were a haunted house! You little ghosts are not welcome here!"
The girls in front of them just looked puzzled: "Legend...what kind of legend is this?"
Seeing their clueless expressions, Inakura Ruri had nothing to say, and just turned around and rushed out of the room with a belly full of anger.
After that, the people of the Torakura family dispersed, and the old butler continued to entertain Martin and his guests. On the way, Hattori Heiji asked what the legend was. If it was just that Torakura Sakuya's recent behavior was like a vampire, it should not constitute the term "legend".
In the reception room, the old butler talked incessantly about stories from the past.
In brief, the ancestor of the Tora-kura family was a daimyo who ruled this area, but he had no children. Later, he finally took a concubine and gave birth to a son, but his concubine was suddenly killed by his younger brother and some of his men. The angry daimyo tortured his younger brother and the servants who served the concubine with cruel instruments, and then followed the example of Vlad the Impaler and impaled them on wooden stakes, and later became known as the "Impaled Daimyo".
With such a glorious history, it is no surprise that they are rumored to be a vampire family.
The sound of pulling out chairs was heard, and the three girls stood up in unison and walked outside.
"Where are you going?"
"Garlic!" "Go to the kitchen and find garlic!" "And find the cross!"
Use garlic to fight vampires... Hattori Heiji and Conan looked dead, and then found that Sera Masumi was still sitting next to them, looking at her with a puzzled look: "Aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of? I won't be scared away by legends." Sera Masumi made a gesture: "If a criminal dressed as a vampire dares to appear in front of me, I'll let him taste my Jeet Kune Do."
This girl is completely different from other girls...they both complained in their hearts that it was not unfair for her to be often mistaken for a boy because of her strong temperament that radiated from the inside out.
On the other hand, Martin's look today is obviously flat-chested and short-haired. She looks like a cute girl no matter how you look at her. Even her temperament... forget it. By the way, why did that guy suddenly become quiet? The butler was not interrupted by him when he was telling a story?
In the past, wouldn't someone have complained something like 'that daimyo must be infertile, and the bloodline of the Tonkura family is probably all from Mr. Wang next door'?
Hattori Heiji and Conan turned to look at Martin again, and found that Martin had fallen asleep on the table.
Looking at the time, it's already half past ten. Did this guy go to sleep automatically when his biological clock reached? Or is the story of the Torakan family too boring for him?
Wait...asleep? Martin fell asleep!?
Conan suddenly became nervous. Martin would not be able to sleep for long lying on the table, and according to the time, he would transform after waking up.
Although Martin's transformation is random, considering the situation and plot they are in now, it is an open-book test as to what this guy will become!
"Ah, this lady has fallen asleep. How rude." Because of the two people's gaze, the old housekeeper also noticed that Martin had fallen asleep: "A guest room has been prepared for you. Wake this guest up and let her rest."
"No need! Just let him sleep here." Conan waved his hand to stop him: "Let's go to another room to talk. I have some questions I want to ask you, uncle."
"Is he going to transform?" Sera Masumi pointed at Martin and whispered to Conan, "I want to see how he transforms."
"Then...you can stay and watch." Conan saw Martin sleeping and turned into a dog. Although Martin himself said there was no causal relationship, Conan still had some psychological trauma: "Be careful."
