In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 225 The castle is full of enemies.

Chapter 225 The castle is full of enemies.

When Akutagawa Hiko met up with the two detectives, one big and one small, they eagerly shared the information with him. After combining their findings, they unanimously concluded that the folklorist who mainly studied vampires was Torakura Etsuko's lover.

However, they clearly lack conclusive evidence to prove that there was an improper relationship between the two.

Moreover, the two clearly had some different opinions at this moment.

Perhaps because Conan is a child, Etsuko Torakura wasn't very wary and told him about what happened about eight years ago.

Through information obtained by Hattori Heiji from Hamura Shuichi, or rather, information that Hamura Shuichi intentionally leaked, they roughly deduced the truth behind Torakura Etsuko's marriage to Torakura Daisuke eight years ago.

Eight years ago, Etsuko Torakura and Shuichi Hamura, two college students of similar age, were already in love. However, Daisuke Torakura, a friend of Etsuko's father, took a fancy to the young and beautiful Etsuko.

Therefore, Daisuke Torakura devised a wicked plan and used his connections to cause Etsuko's father's company, which was completely unsuspecting of him, to go bankrupt due to mismanagement.

When Etsuko's father asked him for help, Daisuke Torakura proposed a business marriage. He said he would only take over her family's bankrupt company and give her family's employees a way out if Etsuko married him.

She initially thought it was nothing, as no one was obligated to help them. However, once she learned that the company's bankruptcy was orchestrated by Daisuke Torakura, how could she possibly remain Mrs. Torakura willingly?

The fact that they didn't crucify Daisuke Torakura, that vampire, is already because she still has attachments, people she loves, and people who love her.

"What a scoundrel!"

The high school detectives are extremely righteous and hate evil, but it is precisely this sense of justice that makes them unable to do anything other than utter a few curses.

Although they had not studied law systematically, they knew that it was impossible to imprison someone like Daisuke Torakura on such charges, and even Eri Kisaki's presence would be useless.

Akutagawa Hiko felt that if his shady dealings, such as stealing other people's works and bribing doctors, were exposed, he might be imprisoned for a while, but definitely not for long, and it would be completely unfair to the tragedy he caused.

"Actually, it's not just that—"

Hiko Akutagawa revealed that Daisuke Torakura and Fumiri Doi had conspired to steal other people's submissions of horror novels, and that they had bribed a doctor, leading to the death of Toshiya Tadokoro's sister. He also revealed that all of his recent novels were ghostwritten.

"What?!"

Two high school detectives who haven't yet entered society, while not exactly naive, could never have imagined that there would be such scum outside of prison, living better than many kind people—it's simply outrageous.

To be honest, Akutagawa Hiko felt that if Torakura Daisuke appeared in front of the two of them now, he couldn't guarantee that the scum wouldn't be faced with a soccer ball that could blow up a satellite, and Hattori's family swordsmanship.

"What should we do now—"

Originally, the plan was to find out those who had a grudge against Torakura Daisuke and keep them under close surveillance to ensure that Torakura Daisuke would not die like Shimaka, and to prevent anyone from falling into the abyss of murder because of momentary hatred.

But now it seems that apart from these guests who suddenly barged in, everyone has a good reason to kill Daisuke Torakura, and apart from the editor Fumiri Doi, who colluded with Daisuke Torakura, they can't even think of a reason to comfort him.

This Daisuke Torakura is truly remarkable. Perhaps, apart from himself, no one in the entire castle would wish him to die.

"How would I know?"

Although Akutagawa Hiko had already decided to kill Torakura Daisuke, he couldn't possibly tell his two righteous friends, so he could only helplessly shrug.

"The human heart is always the most difficult problem to understand."

Akutagawa sighed, explaining why so many people who wished for world peace ended up destroying the world, leaving only one human after making a wish for a world without conflict among humans.

Heiji Hattori and Conan also knew that this problem was somewhat difficult, or rather, extremely difficult. Neither of them knew what to do and were deeply confused.

At this moment, Sonoko and the others noticed that something was wrong with the group and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Is there a case you can't handle?"

Akutagawa Hiko sighed and explained, "It's not a problem with the commission itself, it's a problem with the person who commissioned it. Torakura Daisuke—sigh—"

Before he could finish speaking, Akutagawa Hiko sighed again, surprising Sonoko and Ran, who were more familiar with him.

Because in their view, it would be impolite to address someone by their full name and with negative emotions, and that such a thing would never happen to them.

What exactly did Daisuke Torakura do?!

The three exchanged glances, just as they were about to try and get information out of him, when they discovered that a vampire had brazenly appeared in front of them. In the dim light, the pale-faced Daisuke Torakura, wearing a red and black cloak, looked even more terrifying.

Akutagawa Hiko and Hattori Heiji quickly stopped Ran and Kazuha from instinctively trying to intervene. The sound of their fists colliding sent a chill down the spines of the uninformed people in the castle.

At this point, Daisuke Torakura no longer dared to play the mysterious card and quickly introduced himself. He wasn't a real vampire, so what difference was there between being punched and jumping off a building to commit suicide?

However, for some reason, Daisuke Torakura felt that after the misunderstanding was cleared up, the way these young girls looked at him became even stranger.

Fortunately, no one made any further moves.

Dinner at the villa was prepared by Toshiya Tadokoro, who was also a student and servant. Ran and the others wanted to help, since there were quite a few of them, including Conan, who was one more person than there were people at the villa.

However, how could Tadokoro Toshiya possibly ask his guests for help, especially after Akutagawa Hiko agreed to let Torakura Daisuke receive the punishment he deserved? It was even less likely that he would let the people who seemed to have a good relationship with Akutagawa Hiko take action.

The atmosphere at the table became somewhat subdued for a moment, but Daisuke Torakura remained unaffected, calmly eating while introducing his new book to the others.

Unsurprisingly, it's a heroic fantasy novel.

Since he ran out of creative ideas, he has only been able to maintain his fame and income by accepting horror novel submissions from editor Fumio Doi, but Doi isn't stupid.

When I discovered that my novel had been slightly modified and became someone else's work, how could I possibly submit it to that author again? As a result, I received fewer and fewer submissions.

Therefore, he found Tadokoro Toshiya, who had obvious weaknesses, to write for him, and even used the two completely different styles as promotional and selling points.

Anyway, Heiji Hattori and Conan couldn't listen to it anymore, and one after the other went to the room that had been arranged for them, using the excuse that they were full.
