After Mouri Kogoro turned his head arrogantly, he realized that Hanyu Qing'an was missing, and he immediately turned around in a panic to look for him.
After walking around twice, I finally found Hanyu Kiyosu in the corner of the study, studying something with Suzuki Sonoko, and didn't even listen to them talking about the case.
"President Hanyu?" Mouri Kogoro came over, "What are you doing?"
Hanyu Kiyosu had just taken away the bat-wing-shaped token from the deceased Tokura's body. At this time, he was drawing talismans and preparing to draw cards. Considering that the Vampire Princess has wings, that means there are already three flying shikigami.
If only one person was missing, there would be four people to carry the sedan chair.
But it’s not accurate to describe them as flying. Yuki Onna and Aoi Hōdōng don’t have wings. They are floating. Vampire Princess. Only those with wings like Izu Shinten can be called flying.
"Qing'an-kun, do you think we should build a sleigh like Santa Claus later? Then wait for Christmas and pretend to be Santa Claus?" Suzuki Sonoko was coming up with random ideas again.
Hanyu Qing'an said with a smile: "Then just ask someone to prepare it. Anyway, as long as there is a suitable lasso and the like, it can be convenient and stable for the shikigami to fly in the sky. A sedan, a car, a sled, etc."
It doesn’t take much to prepare a few.”
"In the future, we can also prepare a larger building ship. When there are enough flying shikigami, we can take the spaceship to travel around."
As he talked, Hanyu Kiyosu began to think wildly. If there really was no upper limit to the Shikigami's load capacity, and it only affected the flight speed, then maybe he could build a floating city, which would be like a man-made plateau.
Or you can build a floating shrine, but the shikigami cannot appear during the day and may need to keep moving...
"Master Hanyu!" Mouri Kogoro urged from the side, scratching his head.
"Okay, the drawing is finished." Hanyu Qing'an looked at the completed graffiti. It was almost exactly the same as the bat wings on the token. It was convenient to follow the drawing.
The Vampire Princess is also an SR, so there is no problem. Hanyu Kiyosu switched to Onmyoji state and summoned it directly with a wave of his hand.
"Ah, fresh blood!"
The Vampire Queen made a strange speech as soon as she appeared on the scene, which sent shivers down the spines of everyone present.
Mrs. Tokura and others who did not know the truth contacted what Mouri Kogoro had just said, and secretly speculated whether there was some kind of first embrace ceremony to resurrect the deceased Tokura and then speak.
The little paper man before had just transformed into an onmyoji. The shikigami summoned now, combined with the terrifying atmosphere here, make people believe in the authenticity of onmyoji.
"Hamura..." Mrs. Tokura grabbed the folklorist's sleeves worriedly, fearing that after the dead were resurrected, they would turn into immortal vampires. They finally got rid of this villain.
On the side, Tokura's apprentices and Tokura's editor all looked ugly. The editor tentatively said, "Well...Master Hanyu, what are you trying to do? Do you want to resurrect Tokura?"
Hanyu Qing'an watched the light ball sink into the body of the Vampire Queen, and then the Vampire Queen gradually solidified. Without looking back, he calmly replied: "Yes, I am not a detective, and I don't know any reasoning. The best way to know the truth is
Isn’t it better to ask the deceased himself?”
"Judging from the death condition of the deceased, at least he should have been killed while he was conscious. In this case, he must know who killed him."
"No!" Hu Cang's apprentice suddenly shouted, his whole body trembling a little, and he gritted his teeth, "We must never let this guy come back to life again."
Hanyu Qingan glanced at him thoughtfully. These people seemed to have mistakenly believed that after being resurrected, they would really be like vampires and would not die. He said calmly and coldly:
"Are you telling me what to do?"
The Hucang disciple quickly bowed and apologized: "No, I definitely didn't mean that."
Hanyu Qing'an was noncommittal, "Someone just threw suspicion on me. It's not surprising that you have such thoughts."
The folklorist paused for a moment, and finally bit his lip in a rude manner. If he had known that his words would give Hu Cang a chance to resurrect, it would be better not to defend himself. Even if he was wronged, it would be better than letting Hu Cang come back to life!
Hu Cang's apprentice, a young man named Tasho, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his nails even pierced the palms of his hands. He struggled for a long time, and finally knelt on the ground with a thud.
"I admit that I killed him. Please, please don't resurrect this devil!"
Mouri Kogoro was shocked. Why was this guy the one who killed him? Wasn't he Mrs. Tokura's cheating partner?
"Why did you kill him? How did you do it? Is this room a secret room?" Conan asked curiously, taking out a small notebook and starting to record it.
Tiansuo has completely let go. Now that he has admitted that he killed Tokura, he no longer conceals it and truthfully explains the reason for the murder.
It turned out that the reason why he became Hu Cang's apprentice was because his sister was seriously ill and needed high medical expenses. Hu Cang promised to help his sister pay the expenses in exchange for him to ghostwrite novels for Hu Cang.
At this point, the editor on the side also admitted that he was the one who helped connect the two parties, because Hucang had exhausted his talents many years ago.
Tadokoro also added that before him, editors even withheld manuscripts from newcomers and published them under Tokura's name.
"So, Hu Cang's later works changed from horror novels to heroic novels because you are good at heroic novels?" Mao Lilan asked.
She had felt a little strange before. When she asked Tokura for advice, she asked about some things in his latest works. Tokura always spoke eloquently and asked his apprentice Tadokoro to help answer.
"Yes, all the heroic novels in Tokura's works were created by me." Tadokoro said with his head lowered.
"But in this case, what reason do you have to kill him? Who will pay for your sister's medical expenses if he dies? Or have you already reached an agreement with this editor and plan to leave Tokura alone and work alone?" Mouri Kogoro questioned.
Tadokoro laughed at himself, "My sister... passed away a year ago. This bastard Tokura kept it secret from me until last month. The nurse who had been taking care of my sister couldn't stand it anymore and ran over to tell her secretly.
I, I just know."
"She also told me that Tokura bribed doctors and only gave my sister the minimum level of treatment so as to delay it as long as possible. Unexpectedly, my sister's condition deteriorated rapidly and she died..."
"And this devil actually keeps telling me that my sister is in good condition in the hospital and allows me to create here with peace of mind!!!" Tadsuo roared in a low voice.
After shouting, he sat down towards Hanyu Qing'anzu, choked with sobs and kowtowed, praying: "So, please, please, please don't let this devil come to life again."
Etsuko and Hamura on the side looked at each other and knelt beside him. Dogeza begged: "I just said the wrong thing, and I apologize to you here. Please don't resurrect this demon again."
"..."
Hanyu Qing'an's face was blank, why did he seem to be some kind of villain?
