Chapter 566 - Fake Death Path

"More than that," Conan said with a look of dismay, as several people remained immersed in the eerie message conveyed by the video. "You ...... Let's take a look at this. ”

In his hand, he was holding a letter, and it was signed by Takashi Harawaki himself.

[When you read this letter, you may think that I am dead, but I can tell you responsibly that I am still alive and I still have a task to complete. I'll only kill the demons I need to kill, so don't worry too much, I'll end myself in broad daylight when it's all over. —Takashi Harawaki

"Is this his handwriting?" Officer Nishimura looked at Ria Kawabata and asked.

"I think it's a lot like that," Kawabata nodded. "Our videographer should have some of Harawaki's manuscript records, so if we can compare the two handwriting at that time, we may be able to confirm whether the text really came from Harawaki himself—at least in my personal opinion, it's very similar to Harawaki's handwriting."

Later, after questioning several other members of the crew who also belonged to the crew, Kawabata Riya bombarded them, they also confirmed that it was the handwriting of Takashi Harawaki himself, and they even got more detailed information from one of them.

"He ......," said Oie Ori, who served as the lighting engineer, after confirming that the handwriting should be that of Takashi Harawaki. He's actually been obsessed with paranormal research in this area......"

"What do you mean, zombies?" Officer Nishimura asked.

"Not strictly speaking," Ori shook his head. "If anything, it's more appropriate to say resurrection."

"Resurrection?" Officer Nishimura frowned. "What does that mean?"

"Harawaki's idea that I've been obsessed with for a few years seems to have been borrowed from the chairman—" Orie explained. "The concrete thing is to resurrect oneself after death in some way."

"Resurrection after the dead?" Officer Nishimura's brow tightened. "What are you talking about?"

"It's true!" Bei Xiang Zhijiang hurriedly explained. "He's been working on these things, and he's been writing scripts about the subject a lot lately!"

"If that's going to be the case," Ria Kawabata interjected. "I've actually heard about it – and he seems to be very proud lately, and once told me that he was actually making progress."

At this moment, Chiba, who had been watching all this from the side, suddenly noticed that Conan was standing up from Kyoko Ejiri's corpse with a heavy heart, and then walked over in silence. "What's the matter, did you notice anything strange?"

"Hmm," Conan replied briefly, before he suddenly hesitated before speaking slowly. "I ...... I found out something very subtle - Kyoko Ejiri was really bitten to death, from a one-time penetrating bite with a very large bite force, and Miss Kyoko Ejiri's trachea was probably bitten directly by the teeth. ”

"Teeth?" Qian Yu was stunned. "A bite from a human?"

"Tooth marks of human mode," Conan waved his hand, motioning for Chiba to come with him to Kyoko Ejiri, and then he pointed the wound at Chiba. "Look at here, the whole bite mark is very similar in size to a human, and it's probably really ...... Bite marks that belong to humans. ”

"Do you mean that you're emphasizing humans rather than Haragaki as a person?" Qian Yu looked at the bite mark and asked.

"We've seen him and we've confirmed he's a dead man," Conan replied. "Even if we can do our homework by faking death on the surface, we checked his pulse at the time, and he is indeed just a dead man, so it is impossible for him to commit these crimes."

"But the problem is in the video," Chiba replied. "Also, I don't know if a living person has such a powerful bite force comparable to that of a carnivore."

"I don't believe in the usability of these two footage," Conan shook his head. "It's really strange that there are video cameras at the scene, and no matter how you look at it, it looks like it was artificially placed there by the murderer, so no matter how plausible the video looks, I think the information on it is purely distracting information."

"If you really want to say it, in fact, as long as you have a long period of preparation, you may be able to edit the video tape of the video recorder through exquisite editing methods, and then stitch the previously forged video in front of the blank video tape being recorded, so that it is possible to create the picture we see." Qian Yu said. But the question remains unexplained, the most important of which is, why did the killer do this? Instead of doing this, why not use a camera in the first place? ”

"I don't know," Conan shook his head. "If the killer intends to use this as a cover-up, it would be too stupid."

"Hmm," Chiba nodded. "yes, it doesn't make sense."

At this moment, the voice of Gray Plains suddenly appeared. "yes, you really don't think that's justified?"

“?” Qian Yu and Conan turned back together, only to see that Gray Yuan Ai had put on a pair of white gloves and held a very thick book in his hand. "Take a look at this, and then think about whether you really want to stick to this inference."

When Chiba and Conan looked at the book together, they saw that the title of the book said "Flying Over Immortality"

"Where was this found?" Conan frowned. "In that Harawaki Takashi room?"

"That's right," Gray Yuan nodded. "And in a fairly conspicuous place. So, shall we take a look? Let's not talk about the content, I think this book is quite interesting. ”

With that, she opened the book, but the text in the book was nothing more than a string of gibberish.

"What is this?" Conan frowned.

"Hmm-" Qianyu's gaze fell on the blank circles dotted among the garbled characters. "What's going on with these circles, and how did they end up here?"

The text outside the circles is quite complete, which indicates that there was a surplus of space for these circles at the time of typography, which means that the circles were intentionally left here.

"As for this, we need a special light," Gray Hara motioned for Chiba and Conan to follow him to Takashi Harawaki's room. "Come on, we've got observation props ready in Harawaki's room."

When they arrived at Takashi Harawaki's room, they saw Ayumi guarding a candlestick with a candle burning on it.

"The book has a special setting, and only such a thermal light source can make the text on it visible."

When Ash Hara brought the circle on the first page of the book close to the candle, English began to appear in the circle—and the first sentence immediately startled Chiba and Conan.

"The purpose of this book is to teach the means of going to the underworld by means of a brief period of suspended animation."
