When I arrived at the Western Mansion, it was already evening, and Gao Cheng wasted a lot of time in the middle because he didn't know the way.

"You've finally arrived, Young Master Ah Cheng." A bespectacled white-bearded butler waited in front of the castle-like villa, seemingly waiting for a long time.

"Ah, Young Master Ah Cheng?" The little mourning fox who got out of the car together looked at Gao Cheng suspiciously.

"I beg your pardon," the white-bearded butler stepped forward straight, "Below is this Okura housekeeper Koga Rishige, and the father of the head of the Hattori headquarters who recommended you is a police officer at the same time, and for the sake of convenience, I say to the lord that you are the young master of a friend of mine." ”

Gao Cheng didn't care much about the salutation and the like, looked at the castle-like buildings that were some years old, and asked the whitebeard butler, "It's true that Mr. Hattori recommended me, but there are some places that haven't been made clear to me, what is going on with the vampire murder?" ”

"Vampires are just legends," Whitebeard's butler explained with squinted eyes, "About half a year ago, the body of the maid Miss Shimizu was found in the forest next to this mansion......

"The body was found by an old couple picking wild vegetables, saying that because the skin of the corpse was so white, at first they thought it was a scarecrow to drive bears."

"It does sound like a vampire murder, but someone must have committed it, right?" Gao Cheng pondered.

"It happened to be raining that day, the ground was muddy, and no one witnessed any suspicious characters, so the police didn't find anything after investigation," the old housekeeper took Gao Cheng and the two into the house, "At first, the police were suspicious of the master, because Miss Shimizu had complained to the chef that the master had been very scary recently, and he was afraid that he would be in danger, so he wanted to quit his job as a maid, and then that kind of thing happened......"

"Your lord?"

"Yes, but the master has an alibi, during the time of Miss Shimizu's death, the master has been staying in the room to sleep, ironically, it is the chef who proves this."

The old butler said as he walked.

"Of course, Miss Shimizu will be scared, because it is indeed a little strange that the master has been sleeping in his room during the day in order to avoid the sun, and recently even the silverware that he used to love suddenly threw away, saying that he is allergic to silver or something......

"Just two days ago, the old man smashed a soup bowl with garlic that he liked to drink, and said angrily that this would make the blood rot, and never let him see this again."

Xiao Wai grabbed Gao Cheng's trouser leg tightly, and stared straight at the old butler in a black suit walking in front: "Vampire? ”

"In the eyes of the maid, Miss Shimizu, it probably looks like this, it's like the behavior of a vampire."

Walking through the courtyard, the old butler paused and turned around.

"The sun is about to set, and the master should be about to get up at this time, then, before dinner is ready, Young Master Ah Cheng and Miss Xiao Ai will take a casual stroll around the hall first, and the matter of inheritance will be discussed after dinner."

Although the old housekeeper said so, Gao Cheng is not good at turning around casually, it would be fine if someone led the way.

And if you meet the villa, you have to trouble explaining.

"Mr. Butler, if you can," Gao Cheng took the initiative, "can you take me to meet the chef first?" ”

"It can be, it's not enough, the kitchen is busy right now......"

There are three chefs in the Yincang family, but there is only one chef, and the other two are young helpers, and the scene was really busy when the old housekeeper took Gao Cheng to the kitchen.

It can be seen that there are quite a few guests in the Yincang family this time, and I heard that they are all relatives of the same generation who have the right to inherit the inheritance, because the owner here has neither a spouse nor children.

"Huh? Yes, I am the chef who testified to the master half a year ago," some fat chefs took the time to respond when asked by Gao Cheng, "That day, the master tasted the soup as soon as he wanted to get up, so I asked the chef to send him the soup directly, and by the way, I called him up......

"Although I haven't been watching, the master must have never left the coffin, because before he put the lid on the coffin, he told me that recently it seems that someone has lifted the coffin lid while he is sleeping to see how he is sleeping, and asked me to put something on the lid......"

"Wait, wait," Gao Cheng said with a frown, "You just said the coffin?" ”

"That's right," the chef stopped what he was doing and looked at Gao Chengdao, "Master likes to sleep in a coffin, so that time I put three sesame seeds on the coffin lid, and when I woke him up, the sesame seeds were still in the same place, indicating that the coffin had not been opened."

"Disturbed ......"

Gao Cheng walked out of the kitchen with his chin in his hands.

There are still such people, no wonder there are some vampire legends.

In the cases he has handled, this time it is also a strange story, and he may need to meet with the master in person.

"Chenghu," Xiao Ai still grabbed Gao Cheng, "are there really vampires?" ”

"Please, why are you afraid of this kind of thing?"

Gao Cheng walked in the aisle, and unconsciously arrived outside the dining room not far from the kitchen, and found that there were already many people inside, and a young maid suddenly bumped into him from behind clumsily.

"No, I'm very sorry," the maid snorted bitterly, and hurriedly stepped back and apologized, "That, you are the young master Ah Cheng that Mr. Housekeeper said, right?" ”

"Huh?"

Everyone in the restaurant noticed the movement at the door and looked over one after another.

"Young Master?" A light-colored woman with long hair saw Gao Cheng's ugly face and said, "What's the matter?" Does my eldest brother still have illegitimate children?! It's too much......"

"How is this possible?" A bespectacled uncle in the back explained with a smile, "If we had an illegitimate child, my brother wouldn't have asked us to come here." ”

"That is to say, if there is really an illegitimate child, the inheritance of the force will definitely not be given to our brothers and sisters, but directly inherited by the children."

The one who spoke was the daughter of the Yin Cang family, 60 years old Yin Cang Shouyu, dressed quite gracefully and luxuriously, and seemed to cover the wrinkles with a thick foundation, but the slightly loose skin could still show some old age.

In front of him, the uncle with the national character face and the light-colored long-haired women are the second son of the Inkura family, Inkura Mashin, and his wife Inkura Ruli.

"That's not for sure, Shouyou," a little white face with long blond hair smiled at the crowd, "Didn't he suddenly bring one back a few years ago?" A beautiful fiancée with a child who is very different in age, so it seems that even if there are two or three illegitimate children, it is not surprising, right? ”

Little White Face said and joked to everyone: "However, that fiancée was not very lucky, and died soon after, oh oh, by the way, this should be a good thing for you......"

"You guy!" The third son of the Yincang family, a man who looked like a physical education teacher or coach and other roles, lifted the collar of the little white face and said angrily, "Next time I hear you say such things, I can't spare you!" ”

"W-What?" Xiao Baiyan smiled dryly, "Don't you actually think you're lucky?" If you do get married, and she's still alive, you won't get a share of the inheritance, right...... Or are you going to sneak in on that lover with a child? ”

"You ......"

"Okay, everyone," the white-bearded old butler suddenly appeared at the door of the restaurant and interrupted everyone, "Young Master Ah Cheng is not the illegitimate son of the master, the young master's net worth is much more than that of the master, this time I just invited him to come over as a guest......"

Saying that, the old housekeeper looked at the maid who was standing aside: "Miss Xiaoguang, is dinner ready?" ”

"Ah, yes!" The young maid came back to her senses and hurriedly replied, "The chef asked me to ask if I could serve the food." ”

"Let's start serving," said the old butler, squinting his eyes, nodding, "I think we've all been waiting for a long time." ”

The faces of everyone in the restaurant were somewhat unnatural, and a few people were curious about Gao Cheng, who was also carrying a child.

has a much more net worth than their eldest brother, and is so young, it should be the young master of that big consortium, right?

It does look very magnanimous.

Xiao Ai pushed Gao Cheng who was distracted from the back, and sat down together.

Because of someone's relationship, she hasn't eaten since noon, and even if there are real vampires, she can't stop her from filling her stomach.

The layout of the restaurant is quite gorgeous, it is a typical Western aristocratic style, Xiao Ai doesn't care about these at all, Gao Cheng is used to it, so he naturally finds a place to sit down, and at the same time, his eyes have never left the Yincang family.

The yin and yang weird little white face is named Hagawa Johei, and he is the best friend of the daughter of the Inokura family, but he is only 29 years old, with an age difference of 31 years, and he seems to be the second daughter of the Inakura family, the ex-boyfriend of Mina Inukura, an old-fashioned woman with glasses.

Gao Cheng secretly slandered himself.

The housekeeper's worries are right, a large group of heirs to the estate, messy, and the relationship with each other does not seem to be very good.

"Is the owner of this house, Mr. Inkura, suffering from an incurable disease?" Gao Cheng asked in the dining room.

"Yes, it is said that there is only about half a year left, so we came to this dinner party......

"Because the invitation says that the absentee will not inherit the inheritance," Xiao Baiyan drank red wine, looked at Gao Cheng, who had a noble aura, and laughed at himself, "We are not like you, the eldest young master, everyone is very short of money, and if you can't live without an inheritance, maybe you can't ......."

"Hey! Are you enough? ”

The sons of the Yincang family didn't like the little white face of this rich woman, and their faces became more and more ugly.

The little white face smiled disappreciatively, obviously it was all for the inheritance, and they were all pretending.

"But then again," asked the little white face as he put down his glass and turned to the throne that had been empty, "why hasn't Mr. Miya come here yet?" ”

"yes," followed the old-fashioned glasses woman Minoru Inkura, "and he used to complain about the food at this time. ”

"That ......," said the maid Ah Guang, who was standing quietly next to him, "I'll go to the master's room to take a look, the master may still be sleeping." ”

"Really."

The daughter of the Inokura family watched the maid leave the dining room.

"Why do you want to leave this oil bottle behind? Isn't he going to give her an inheritance? ”

"Well, that's it," Whiteface continued to drink, "after all, she's also the fiancée's child." ”

Gao Cheng silently frowned and put down the knife and fork.

He actually wanted to find out more about the murder of the maid half a year ago than the question of inheritance, and despite the testimony of the chef, Mr. Inkura was quite suspicious.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be a deliberately created alibi for yourself.

The key is the coffin, but if there is a secret passage underground, the police should find out......

Alas, he is not the life of the eldest young master at all, and he has to think about these things when he eats.

"Ah——!h

After only a while, the screams of the maid Xiaoguang suddenly broke the silence, and even Gao Cheng was startled.

"What's wrong?!"

"No, no!" Xiaoguang shouted loudly, "Master, he ......"

Inkura Tsumi's room is the innermost room after turning right in the corridor of the dining room, and when Gao Cheng approached with Xiao Ai for the first time, the maid sat at the door and pointed to the room with a frightened expression.

"Sir, he seems to be dead!"

"Please," a few members of the Yincang family who followed behind were dissatisfied, "Don't talk nonsense, okay?" It's not like you don't know that the eldest brother has recently used the coffin as a bed to sleep ......"

"No, it's not!" The maid was still undecided, "When I opened the lid, the old man had a bloody stake in his chest!" ”

"Stakes?" Uncle glasses was a little surprised, "Big brother, this joke is a bit excessive, right?" ”

Gao Cheng approached the closed Western-style Christian coffin, but the lid could not be opened for a while, as if it was firmly fixed from the inside.

"Is the lid locked?"

"No," said the maid, with tears in her eyes, "I opened it just now, and the old man was wearing a black cloak, and his pointed teeth were exposed, and he had a stake on his chest, and he was bleeding everywhere...... How so? ”

Gao Cheng frowned and strengthened again, but this time he easily lifted the lid, but there was nothing in the coffin, and there was no blood on the flannel cloth.

Gao Cheng took a closer look and found blood stains in the gap on the other side.

"How so?" The maid saw the inside of the empty coffin and said in disbelief, "The master is gone!" ”

"Hey," the daughter of the Incang family doubted, "did you really see the master?" You don't have time to joke with you......"

"I think what she said should be true, there is indeed blood here, the question is, where did the body go."

Gao Cheng looked back at the maid.

"Have you been here all along?"

"Yes," the maid nodded repeatedly, "the master is really inside, and no one has come out!" ”

"How so?" Several members of the Yincang family couldn't help but panic, "Could it be that the eldest brother has really become a vampire?" ”

"It's not impossible," the eldest daughter of Yincang glanced at the coffin and said, "Our ancestors of the Yincang family have been rumored to be possessed by vampires, and coupled with all the strange behaviors of the recent forced Mi, maybe he ...... I'm also possessed by a vampire. ”

"Haha, just kidding, right? Just kidding......"

The scene was panicked, and the atmosphere became a little weird.

"yes, the eldest brother must be joking, maybe he wants to test us, because the invitation said that the inheritance will be discussed after dinner, and he should come out soon, right?"

"Maybe......"

Everyone in the Inkura family talked about returning to the restaurant, but only Gao Cheng remained on site to study.

The script is wrong, why did the key villa owner have an accident at this time?

Did you know that he, a detective, had come to investigate?

Hiding or being killed......

Xiao Ai looked inside the coffin from behind: "Is there any mechanism?" ”

"I don't know yet, but that's for sure."

Gao Cheng reached out and touched the bottom of the coffin, and finally lifted the flannel directly, revealing a sliding door underneath, and the ground under the coffin also had an authentic entrance that could be opened.

When the floor tiles are pulled apart, a narrow staircase can be seen through the light.

"There was really something wrong with the case six months ago."

"That, Young Master Ah Cheng," Xiaoguang, the maid who ran back, saw Gao Cheng inspecting the coffin, and said in a stunned voice outside, "It's already cold for dinner and dinner...... Do you want me to warm it up again? ”
