Conan held a flashlight and Hattori Heiji walked over in front of the torture devices one by one.

Tiger stools, iron maidens, animal traps, pointed vertebrae, nail chairs, swords, guns, swords and halberds are all available, each of which is powerful enough to pry open the mouths of those who are not determined.

In the center of the room, there is a 2-meter-high guillotine, also known as the "Louis XVI Happy Stand".

"Wow, there is such a powerful thing in this place..."

Hattori Heiji put his hands in his pockets and looked up at this backward killing machine.

However, at that time, the guillotine was a very "advanced" execution machine because it executed prisoners cleanly, without leaving any pain, and the process was highly entertaining.

Just as the two of them were observing the various torture instruments in the room, there was a sudden knock on the door from behind.

The two men immediately turned serious and turned to look.

Before the two of them could decide whether to open the door, the door handle was turned open, and a figure stood at the door.

After taking a closer look, I realized it was Qin Zhibo.

"Uncle Qin, why did you come here?"

Qin Zhibo explained as he walked in: "I don't like drilling holes, so based on the descent angle of the secret passage, I guessed that the exit should be this room."

Drill holes...

Conan and Hattori Heiji drooped their eyelids, speaking as if they liked drilling holes.

Qin Zhibo didn't pay attention to the looks in their eyes and scanned everything in the room with his night vision goggles.

There are all torture tools, shackles, etc. here, and it looks like a cruel execution room.

However, there is no bloody smell here, and Torakura Sakuya has no intention of hiding this room, otherwise the door would not be locked.

"It seems that the owner here has some special collecting habits..." Qin Zhibo complained lightly.

"This is not what I collected."

As soon as Qin Zhibo finished speaking, an old voice came from the door.

Everyone looked back and saw Butler Koga standing in the corridor at the door.

He came a little closer and explained calmly: "The utensils displayed here are all used by my ancestors. It is said that each one has been stained with human blood..."

"So this place is also called the 'Nanman Room'."

Nanman room?

Is it the Nanman who invaded?

Qin Zhibo thought about it secretly, and then asked: "What did the ancestors of the Yincang family do? So they need so many utensils and weapons..."

Housekeeper Koga, with his old face filled with ravines, replied calmly, "The ancestors of the Torakura family were lords who ruled this land during the Edo period."

"According to legend, the lord had no children. Just when he was about to pass on the title of head of the family to his younger brother, the lord suddenly brought a beautiful woman and wanted to take her as his concubine."

"Not long after, this side chamber gave birth to Linzi, and finally got an heir."

"But one stormy night, the concubine unfortunately fell from the cliff. When he was discovered by his servants, even his body was pierced by the tree trunk."

"The Lord, who suspected that something was fishy, ​​used the props he purchased from Nanman and tortured the men who were serving in the side room at the time. The truth finally came to light."

"It turns out that the lord's younger brother coveted the lord's position and deceived the concubine that the young master went to the forest and never came back."

"So, the angry lord decided to impale his brother and all the men who supported the plan like the concubine, and arranged the corpses in the forest."

"After that incident, the Lord became known as the 'Piercing Daimyo'..."

After hearing this story, Hattori Heiji's expression remained unmoved.

Isn't this the story of the Archduke Vlad III of Wallachia, the prototype of Count Dracula?

Conan, on the other hand, held his chin up and frowned, looking thoughtful.

Qin Zhibo thought of the conversation he had with Maid Xiaoguang while eating just now. Her story sounded very similar to this legend.

Maid Hikaru's mother was also a woman brought by Torakura Kakiya from outside, and she also died outside one night.

However, judging from other people's reactions and Maid Hikaru's own knowledge, she is not Tokura Sakuya's biological daughter.

"Mr. Butler, do you know anything about the car accident that happened to Tokura Sakuya's fiancée two years ago?"

Butler Koga frowned and sighed, "That car accident..."

"I only know that the master was not at home that day. He was busy in the hospital operating on the child brought by his fiancée."

"In the end, the operation was completed successfully and the child was fine."

"But after the fiancée received the news, I saw her leaving the house in a hurry, and she got into a car accident on the road..."

Qin Zhibo thought for a second and then asked: "Did you convey this news after you received it?"

"No." Butler Koga shook his head, "It was Miss Shimizu who received the call from the master that day, and it was she who conveyed it to the master's fiancée."

"But when I saw my fiancée's expression, it didn't look like her expression when she heard that the operation was successful..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhibo's eyes froze, and he suddenly had an epiphany.

If these situations are true, it seems that what is happening now is gradually consistent with the legend.

History is repeating itself.

The only thing missing is the victims among these brothers and sisters...

…

After coming out of Nanman's room, everyone found the Yancang brothers and sisters in the corridor again.

At this time, more than an hour had passed since dinner was over.

Several people from the Tokura family gathered together and were complaining about why Tokura Sakuya didn't come out to announce his will.

And Yancang Sannan also handed the developed photos to Qin Zhibo.
