Chapter 1409 Strange Shadow in the Mirror(2/2)
Qin Zhibo pointed his finger on the mirror, and the fingertips were directly aligned with the fingertips in the mirror, without any distance between them.
When Hattori Heiji and Conan saw this scene, their expressions were startled and they understood the meaning.
"This is a two-way mirror, which means that the other side of the mirror can also see this side, just like the mirror in the police interrogation room..."
Everyone came to the room next to the photo studio. It used to be a guest room that no one usually used, but it had been transformed into a personal cloakroom by Tokura Sakimi in the past six months.
Adjacent to the photo wall of the photo studio next door is a huge wardrobe.
Qin Zhibo stood at the door of the closet, holding the door handle of the closet with both hands, and took a deep breath.
When he reached out to open the bookcase and pushed aside the clothes hanging inside, he found a handle on the wall inside.
Pulling open the wooden boards connected by the handles, an oval mirror was revealed.
On the opposite side of the mirror is the situation in the photo studio next door. You can see Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha still standing next to the camera, looking around nervously.
Qin Zhibo searched the inside of the closet again and came out only after confirming that no one was hiding inside.
"It seems we are a step late..."
Qin Zhibo said calmly.
Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at the mirror in the closet with slightly shocked expressions.
They were not surprised by this whimsical and scary method.
But when we were taking pictures just now, it was clear that all the people of the Tokura family were gathered together.
And after Mao Lilan, Toyama Kazuye saw Tokura Sakuya's head appearing in the mirror, no one left the room until Qin Zhibo came over.
In other words, if someone from the Tokura family in the photo studio had set up this trick during this period, it would have been impossible to clear away the evidence in the closet.
Judging from the situation in the closet, if you want to achieve the effect that Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha just saw, they must at least cut off Tokura Sakiya's head and hang it on the closet.
But now, this head has disappeared...
There are three possibilities for this.
First, the real murderer was a servant in the bungalow, not a member of the Tokura family.
The second is that a servant in the bungalow is an accomplice, but the real culprit is still someone in the photo studio.
Third, Tokura Sakuya is still alive...
Generally speaking, an excellent mystery story should assume that the murderer is a person, rather than having someone with almost no sense of existence as the murderer's accomplice.
Others in the villa felt there was no need to kill Tosakura Sakiya.
Then it might be...
Hattori Heiji and Conan's eyes changed and they immediately ran back to the photo studio next door.
Seeing that Hattori Heiji was back, Toyama and Yeru, who were arranged to stay in the haunted "haunted" room, finally breathed a sigh of relief as they were granted amnesty.
However, when Hattori Heiji came up, he grabbed Toyama Kazuha's shoulders and asked loudly: "Kazuha! Do you really see clearly that the body in the coffin is Toyama Sakiya?"
"ah?"
Before Yuan Shan and Ye could react, Conan, who was in a lower position, also asked.
"Sister Xiaolan, did you find anything special when you found the body?"
"this……"
Mao Lilan squinted her eyes slightly, recalling the scene she didn't want to recall in her mind.
Suddenly, Mao Lilan's eyes changed slightly.
"...If there is anything special, it is that the blood I saw on the collar of my clothes seemed to be a little pink, and the color was different from normal blood..."
"Eh?" Yuan Shan and Ye turned their heads in confusion, "Is that so?"
Mao Lilan nodded slightly, "I remember it was like this..."
Compared to Toyama and Ye, Mao Lilan has definitely seen more blood and has more experience.
After hearing the important clues put forward by Mao Lilan, the eyes of Conan and Hattori Heiji suddenly changed, from shock to calmness.
Human blood will gradually turn from bright red to black depending on the time it is exposed to the air.
The pink color will not be included in this process.
Pink blood is most likely caused by anemia, and cancer is likely to cause anemia.
Mao Lilan's discovery just proves that the blood should be Torakura Sakuya's own.
This shows that Tokura Sakuya himself is most likely really dead...
But if he is dead, what happened in the closet just now is that someone used his head to create that weird mirror phantom.
Because it would be too cumbersome to transport the entire body, and the target is too large to move easily.
And these people in the photo studio do not have the conditions to recover this head...
Then this person can only be completed by a servant of the Tokura family in addition to these people.
But why do this?
Hattori Heiji and Conan held their chins at the same time, thinking about the further possibilities of the case.
Qin Zhibo stood at the door and also heard Mao Lilan's latest discovery after recalling it.
Pink blood…
Sounds reasonable to a cancer patient.
However, if you consider that Tokura Yukiya may be a real vampire, and if the descriptions in literary works are correct, vampires should have a body that is immune to all diseases.
Qin Zhibo was thinking and glanced at the photo wall unconsciously.
