Time passed by minute by minute.

It was originally just a coffee party, but somehow it turned into a drinking party.

Fujiwara Yu swirled the red wine in his glass. He didn't intend to drink alcohol in this situation, as it would affect his judgment. Every time he clinked his glass, he was just pretending to drink; in reality, the red wine only touched his lips.

Conan Edogawa's gaze moved between Nigami Ikuo and Himiro Keisuke, successfully interrupting the topic. Now, even if he asked a question, they would not be able to answer if they didn't want to.

He stared at the juice in the glass in confusion, glancing at the ruined wind clock hanging on the wall. Was Xiaolan taking too long in the shower? Or was she so scared that she hid in her room and refused to come out?

Edogawa Conan was a little worried. He jumped off the chair and prepared to go to the room to check. Unexpectedly, he heard screams coming from the direction of the bathhouse. It was Aoko Minato's scream... Could it be?!

Without a second thought, he quickly put down the glass in his hand and rushed towards the bathing area.

Fujiwara Yu followed closely behind, and he did not forget to pick up the blanket beside him, worried that some scenes that men should not see would appear so that he could respond in time.

Just as the two of them rushed into the bathhouse, they saw Aoko Minato kneeling on the ground with her back to the door, shivering.

After seeing the towel on her, Fujiwara Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn't enter the bathtub. He threw the blanket in his hand next to Minato Aoko and looked into the bathtub, but was startled by the reflection in front of him.

The pool water, which should have been clear, turned bright red.

There were also a large number of bats flapping their wings in the room, plus this strong smell of blood...could it be human blood?

Edogawa Conan's face turned ugly. Could it be all this blood? No, it's impossible!

He didn't care about his identity, and ran towards the room anxiously, shouting:

"Xiaolan!! Where are you, Xiaolan?!"

However, no matter how much Edogawa Conan called out, there was no response from Mao Lilan, which made him very anxious. He pushed the door open but did not see Xiaolan. How could it be that she was not in the room?

Fujiwara Yuu frowned. He couldn't let himself lose his mind at this moment. He calmed himself down and looked around. When he noticed the door at the end of the corridor was open, he turned around and looked at Hiragawa Toru who was running after him and asked:

"Whose room over there is?"

"That's... should be Ms. Haigu's, right?"

Why is the door of Umiya Asaka's room open?

And the noise outside was so loud, but she didn't even come out of the room. Could it be?

Realizing something was wrong, Fujiwara Yuu hurried to the end of the corridor. When he pushed the door open, he was almost tripped by the person who fell in front of him. He stumbled to steady himself, and when he looked closely, he realized that the girl lying unconscious on the ground, still wrapped in a bath towel, was the long-missing Mao Li Ran.

Upon hearing the news, Edogawa Conan rushed over and pushed the unconscious Mao Lilan, saying anxiously:

"Xiaolan! Xiaolan! Wake up!!!"

"Shin...Ichi?"

Ran Mouri opened her eyes in a daze, thinking it was Shinichi calling her, but when she looked carefully, she found it was Conan, and she suddenly felt a little lost.

Thinking of what had just happened, she quickly looked at the concerned Sosuke Takashi and shouted:

"Officer Ying Si, please go and save Ms. Hai Gu, she..."

"I'm sorry, but Miss Umigu is beyond help."

Fujiwara Yu turned his head to look at Umitani Asaka who was lying beside him. After making sure that Mori Ran was not seriously injured, he took out a dust-free glove from his pocket. He bent down to check the injuries on Umitani Asaka's body. Judging from the strangle marks on her neck, she must have been strangled to death.

Edogawa Conan calmed down, and he returned to his childish tone and asked:

"Sister Xiaolan, did you see how Sister Haigu was murdered?"

"Yes... I, I saw the vampire strangled Ms. Umiya... and then I was strangled by the vampire, but I didn't die... so I was strangled unconscious?" Mouri Ran frowned, thinking of the scene at that time, and felt a little scared.

vampire?

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Yuu couldn't help but push aside Umitani Asaka's hair. Seeing the two bloody holes on her neck, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes. The murderer was deliberately exploiting vampire legends to confuse the public and pin their crimes on nonexistent vampires... How cunning.

"Is this a vampire's tooth mark?" Junko Nekoma covered her mouth and screamed.

"So vampires are real? This is too..." Takafune Yeping had an expression of disbelief on his face. Although he was very interested in ruins and horror stories, if vampires really existed, it would be too scary.

Just as Conan Edogawa was about to leave Xiaolan's side, he suddenly noticed something unusual on her neck. After a closer look, he found that there were two bloody holes, but they did not look as exaggerated as Asaka Umitani's.

"Sister Xiaolan... do you feel unwell?"

"Hmm? I just feel a little weak, but everything else is fine." Having experienced a lot, Mao Lilan is much braver than before. She shook her head slightly and smiled.

Conan Edogawa was a little hesitant. He knew Xiaolan very well. If she knew that there were marks on her neck similar to those left by vampires when they sucked blood, she would definitely be scared and cry.

But it was no use hiding it, she would see it eventually, so he had no choice but to speak:

"Sister Xiaolan, don't be nervous. There are two bloody holes on your neck. They are probably left by the murderer."

Two bloody holes?

Ran Mouri reached out and touched it, and sure enough, there seemed to be a wound. Her eyes fell on the body of Asaka Umitani, and her face gradually turned pale. Could it be that she was bitten by a vampire... and was she going to become a vampire too?
