If Chiba's guess is correct, the police officer who came in the police car should not be someone they know well - considering that they are now near the Sapporo area of Hokkaido, this is predictable, and even taken for granted.

However, there are exceptions to everything, such as today.

"Why are you again?" The Nishimura Police Department had a ghostly expression on its face. "You ...... How did it end up here? ”

"Uncle, why are you here?" Qian Yu also had a ghostly expression.

Well, Officer Nishimura belongs to the Hokkaido Police Headquarters, which is located in the Chuo Ward of Sapporo. Considering that they're on the outskirts of Sapporo, it's at least possible that the Nishimura Police Department will be here — though a closer look at Officer Nishimura's work history today might give the impression that he's a bit overworked today.

"Forget it," the Nishimura Police Department just muttered a little unpleasantly, and led his men into the villa between Chiba and Kawabata Ria, who opened the door. "So, where is the body?"

"It's on the second floor, and we haven't moved," Kawabata replied. "I'll take you up now."

However, less than half a minute later, something unexpected happened to them.

"Officer," Kawabata said as she opened the door to Takashi Harawaki's room, which was unlocked. "This is where Hara committed suicide by poisoning—"

The voice of the words was cut off at the same time as every scene in the empty room was exposed to everyone in front of the door.

"What do you want to say?" The Nishimura Police Department frowned slightly and asked. "Where is the body?"

"What's going on?" Ria Kawabata was taken aback, and Chiba and Conan, who were standing behind them, observing the scene in the room through the cracks in their bodies, were equally surprised. "Corpse...... The corpse should be here! ”

"......," Officer Nishimura asked, frowning, thinking for a moment. Where did you see the body? ”

"Right in front of that chair." Ria Kawabata pointed to the chair where they had found the camera earlier. "He was lying in front of a chair."

"Oh." Officer Nishimura nodded, then glanced at one of his subordinates, who seemed to be quite smart, and began pacing back and forth in all areas except the vicinity of the chair for a quick check.

"I don't see any known signs of murder, but combined with the news that the young lady said that the deceased was lying in front of the chair and this small capsule and water cup on the table, I don't think it can be ruled out that someone really died."

"What about the rest of you?" The Nishimura Police Department nodded and asked Ria Kawabata.

"They're all asleep, right?" Ria Kawabata thought for a moment and said. "I'm still awake, but I'm afraid they're mostly asleep, and now they're waking them up—"

"Call them up, understand?" Officer Nishimura's voice suddenly rose an octave. "Now you don't even have a way to prove that someone actually died here, so if you can't prove it, we'll just assume that you've called a false alarm!"

"How could I do such a thing!" Ria Kawabata retorted loudly.

"You called the police?" Officer Nishimura narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ria Kawabata. "If it wasn't for the police you called, I'd like to talk to the person who called the police."

"It's not me who called the police, it's Jiriko," Kawabata pouted. "If you want to find her, officer, I can take you there—but I'll have to see if she can see anyone first, because you're a big bunch of men."

"No problem," Officer Nishimura replied immediately. "But at the same time, I hope that if she is not dressed, you will urge her to put on everything she should wear as soon as possible, and then come out and meet us."

"No problem." Ria Kawabata nodded, then led them to the door of another room not far away. "This is Kyoko Ejiri's room here, I'll go take a look first." As she spoke, she pushed open the door and stood still again as she had found Harawaki's body at the door of Harawaki's room.

"What's wrong?" Officer Nishimura felt as if he was being teased, and there was already some displeasure in his voice. "You want to tell me that this informant has disappeared too?"

"She'......," Kawabata stammered. Jiriko her...... She ......"

“？” Officer Nishimura realized that something was wrong, and walked quickly to Ria Kawabata and followed the direction of her gaze to see what Ria Kawabata saw. "This—this is the Shiriko-sama who called the police?"

Chiba and Conan also realized what might be happening, and walked over quickly, and then they saw what Ria Kawabata and Officer Nishimura saw—Kyoko Ejiri had lost all her life, leaning against the wall not far away in a W-shaped sitting position like a duck, and a blood stain was quite conspicuous on her neck.

And what surprised Qian Yu even more was that in the seat not far away, there was actually a machine of a similar style to the video recorder found in Takashi Harawaki's room, which meant that the situation here was also recorded!

"Wait a minute," Conan narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked briskly to Takashi Harawaki's room. "I'll go see if the VCR over there is still there."

Is it still there? Anyway, the video recording of Chiba's auxiliary unit just now didn't seem to capture the video camera's footage, and it may have disappeared along with the disappearance of Takashi Harawaki's body. Then, it was the same person who took the video recorder that took the body...... But what good was that man taking away the body and the video camera? After all, they had already seen the corpse, and it was impossible to hide the corpse again.

But was someone really hiding the body? Such a question was shaken when Chiba, who was familiar with the road, began to turn on the video recorded by the video recorder with Officer Nishimura and Ria Kawabata, and saw the video of Kyoko Ejiri being killed.

On the footage of the video, Kyoko Ejiri retreated to the wall step by step with a very panicked expression, and then looked at the man who appeared in the frame and walked forward step by step.

"......" Qian Yu felt a little strange, because this man's dress was a little familiar no matter how he looked...... Looks a bit like someone, huh?

Immediately after, in front of everyone, the man grabbed Kyoko Ejiri's body with both hands, and then bit Kyoko Ejiri on the neck, she lost all her strength without even screaming, and after less than 10 seconds, she lost the ability to resist, and then collapsed to the ground.

And just when the man who bit Kyoko Ejiri directly turned around and was about to leave the room, everyone happened to see his face.

It was a face that was exactly the same as that of Takashi Harawaki, who had become a corpse, the only difference was that the expression on this face was more hideous and crazy.

"This ......," muttered Conan, who had just arrived, behind Chiha's back. What the hell is going on? ”
