Seven years ago, timeline.
Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...
When they returned to Ruins Villa, the owner, Toru Hiragawa, was waiting at the gate, as if he had known they would be back at this time. He warmly invited everyone to the villa's bathhouse, praising the bathhouse he had built:
"This used to be a pretty nice hotel with a luxurious bath, but it's been turned into a ruin now~ Hahaha!"
Fujiwara Yuu showed an expression of "not necessary" on his face. There was really no place to take a proper shower. There might be holes in the wall. Fortunately, there were not many residents here, otherwise it would be a voyeur's ecstasy.
When they reached a narrow corridor, Minato Aoko, an employee, quickly turned around and looked at the people behind him, and warned them:
"Those weighing over 50 kilograms, please go around that way. The floor in this corridor is seriously rotten. I once weighed 50 kilograms, and the floor collapsed when I stepped on it."
After hearing this, Nekoma Junko hurriedly prepared to follow the boys to take a detour. She noticed that Mao Lilan didn't follow and asked in confusion:
"Huh? Miss Lan, aren't you coming with us?"
"I'm fine. I've lost a lot of weight recently. I'm about 45 kilograms now."
"No wonder your legs look so thin. I'm so envious. Come on, let's go eat!"
As a child, Edogawa Conan naturally passed through it easily. After bypassing this area, he arrived at the restaurant on the first floor of the villa. There were name tags on the tables, and the delicious-looking food immediately awakened everyone's appetite.
Fujiwara Yu carefully checked the plate and made sure there was no dirt before picking up the knife and fork to cut the steak. The taste was not delicious, but it was also average. It seemed that this place could only attract ruins lovers... Who would go to such a place?
Ryuyama Moritaro shook the red wine glass in his hand. The liquid inside was bright red like blood, completely different from the color of other wines.
He looked up at Ershen Yufu who was sitting opposite him and asked with a smile:
"Mr. Ershen, would you like some wine? Just to make friends?"
"Oh! Thank you so much. It would be a pity if steak is not paired with wine or champagne!" It was obvious that Ikuo Nigami was the type who loved drinking, which caught Conan's attention. A surgeon should not be able to drink often.
After pouring the wine for Nigami Ikuo, Ryuyama Moritarou asked Takagi Sosuke again. When he received a clear refusal, he raised his own glass and said:
"Look everyone~ This wine, as red as blood, is imported from Transylvania, Romania—it's called Devil's Blood. Doesn't it sound amazing?"
"Yeah, very impressive." Fujiwara Yu said perfunctorily with an expressionless face.
He just thought that the founder who gave the wine such a name was a complete chuunibyou.
When Mao Lilan, who was not yet of drinking age, heard the name "Devil's Blood", she couldn't help but frown and muttered to herself: Really, why am I always involved with these monsters today? I will have nightmares tonight.
Edogawa Conan had been paying attention to everyone's gaze, especially the two men and women who were obviously lying. When he noticed that something was wrong with Umitani Asaka's expression, he took advantage of his childlike appearance and tilted his head curiously and asked:
"Sister Haigu, are you feeling unwell? You look so ugly!"
Umitani Asaka didn't expect that even the child could see how nervous she was. She stood up from her seat with a wry smile and said softly:
"No, it's okay... I'm just too tired from exploring the ruins. Everyone, enjoy your meal. I'm going to go back and rest."
Fujiwara Yu noticed something strange about Umitani Asaka, and quietly urged the power of wind to wrap around her, in order to eavesdrop on whether she would reveal any useful information. Who knows... she might be the "Dracula" who sent the letter to him.
——"What the devil's blood? It's so disgusting!"
——"That person too, he can actually drink that kind of stuff with such gusto!"
That person?
Fujiwara Yu turned slightly to look at Nigami Ikuo who was about to drink the second cup of "Devil's Blood" beside him. It seemed that he was 100% sure that the two were acquaintances, but he still couldn't figure out why they pretended not to know each other.
Just as he pricked up his ears to listen carefully, he heard a shrill scream.
“Aa ...
"It's Ms. Umigu's voice!"
The scream, amplified several times by the power of the wind, almost sent Fujiwara Yuu away. He covered his aching ears and rested his head on the dining table. If he had known this would happen, he would rather not eavesdrop.
Edogawa Conan quickly jumped off the dining chair and ran out. He saw a man in a black cloak standing in front of the open door. He had light golden hair and a face that looked even paler in the moonlight... He looked like a vampire.
No, there are no vampires in this world. Who is he?
"Y-You are... Scarlet?"
Scarlet? Umitani Asaka actually knew him?
Edogawa Conan pretended to have just arrived at the scene and didn't hear anything, and asked with concern:
"Sister Haigu, are you okay?"
"Huh? I'm fine. I'll go back to my room first."
The nervous expression on Asaka Umiya's face became even more intense, and she ran hurriedly to the other side.
Everyone came to the scene after hearing the noise. When they saw the man at the gate, Nekoma Junko asked curiously:
"Huh? Who is this?"
"My name is Fei Se Jing Jie, and I will be staying here tonight. But the road collapsed halfway through the journey, so I had to walk the rest of the way." Fei Se Jing Jie said calmly, his voice flat and without any emotion.
