Chapter 480 Slit the dagger across his neck
After they left, Qianzhu wiped the water stains off the table before getting up to change her clothes.
He had just changed when there was a knock on the door.
Qianzhu paused slightly, then lowered her eyelids and chuckled softly.
That timing was perfect.
He walked over and opened the door, calmly watching the other person smile as they covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief sprayed with medicine.
Before he completely lost consciousness, he felt the other person close the door they had opened and then take him away.
After waiting in the hall for a long time, Ran and the other two began to worry about Chizuru.
Similarly, as the start time drew closer, Mr. Katsumata Ikuto, the organizer, did not appear at the scene.
Having changed into a retro long dress, Katsura Tatsuko put one hand on her hip and turned to look at the butler beside her, asking, "Where is Dad?"
The butler also looked confused. "Master said he was going to the collection room and would be right back. He should be on his way now, right?"
Katsuragi Kazuko frowned, lifted her skirt, and strode out of the hall. "No, I have to go and see."
Seeing this, Conan felt a bad premonition and ran out of the hall.
Seeing this, the Mori father and daughter instinctively followed.
Katsura and Tatsuko went to the collection room, but didn't see anyone inside.
Conan and his friends did not see Chizuru on the road or in the room.
This is even worse.
As their eyelids twitched wildly, a scream pierced the corridor through the walls and reached their ears.
"ah--!"
They immediately started running towards the direction from which the sound came.
The distance was quite far, and they were all a little out of breath when they arrived. After exchanging a glance with Kogoro Mouri, Katsumata Tatsuko, who had run over in high heels, looked at the maid who had fallen to the ground, took a breath, and hurriedly asked.
"What happened? Where's Dad?"
The maid, her face slightly pale, shook her head, but pointed to the blood seeping from the crack in the door beneath her.
The people who rushed over from the hall looked in the direction she was pointing, and their expressions immediately changed.
Kogoro Mouri's expression was solemn and serious. He quickly walked to the door, grabbed the doorknob, and opened it.
It wasn't locked.
Just as he was about to push him away, Conan suddenly shouted from behind, "Wait!"
Kogoro Mouri stopped moving abruptly.
Conan cautiously pushed open the door, and the scene he saw through the crack made his pupils shrink involuntarily.
He pushed open the door, and there seemed to be a slight resistance coming from behind it.
The door was open.
At the same time, they also got a clear view of the situation inside the room.
"Dad!" Katsuragi Rikako gasped in disbelief, then quickly covered her mouth.
Conan and his two companions stared wide-eyed in disbelief, but couldn't utter a single word.
The room was lit, but the window that should have been facing the door was now blocked by a huge painting.
The floor was stained red.
On the left, a high seat had been erected at some point, and the person that Katsura and Tateko were looking for was now slumped on it, just like the demon in the painting, with a dagger stuck in his neck, heart, and abdomen.
Opposite him, the boy stood on a white cloth stained with blood, its shape resembling wings. Silver threads were wrapped around his body, connecting to the walls and wooden beams, supporting his movements.
The dagger was secured in his hand with a silver thread, which even extended to connect to the back of the door.
If the door were suddenly opened, the thread would control his hand, slicing the dagger across his neck.
