Chapter 530 Jiang Xia, you are changing
So in the end, except for the two regular customers, Shuichi Hamura and editor-in-chief Doi, everyone else followed Tadokoro Toshiya and walked towards Daisuke Torakura's study.
Jiang Xia was also among them.
This study room has a very special shape and location - it is an octagonal room built right on a protruding cliff. The only way to it is a four or five meter long corridor connecting to the hall.
As Toru Amuro walked in the corridor, he glanced at Jiang Xia next to him, and his opinion of the design of the study suddenly popped up in his mind - a place that was very suitable to be a secret room.
“…”
...The murder hasn't happened yet. It's too unlucky to think like this. It's like cursing the owner of the house... Toru Amuro pressed his forehead and shook off the inexplicable thoughts.
——There is no such thing as an incident constitution in the world. Even if it exists, it should just be that the person involved encounters accidents more often than ordinary people. So it is mainly a problem between the murderer and the deceased... And now, this family seems to be quite harmonious, except that the husband is looking for a detective and the wife seems to be planning to find a detective...
Toru Amuro: "..."
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this novelist couple was in danger.
I'd better keep a close eye on them to prevent them from killing each other...
…………
The door of Daisuke Torakura's study was not locked.
Toshiya Tadokoro knocked on the door and pushed it open.
The study was pitch black, with the only source of light coming from an old projector and the movie screen it projected onto the wall. Daisuke Torakura was not writing at the moment, but was alone in the eerie study, watching a vampire movie.
On the mottled and yellowed big screen, a woman had half of her neck twisted off, and the vampire behind her laughed silently, with its fangs pulled out of the flesh and blood dripping continuously.
Suzuki Sonoko was frightened by the horrifying scene and instinctively shrank behind Jiang Xia. At the same time, she secretly reached out and touched the baton hidden on Jiang Xia's body through the cloth.
...I felt a lot more at ease.
At the same time, she quickly imagined a scene in her mind where the vampire failed in a sneak attack, was stepped on and beaten by Jiang Xia, and finally turned into a group of small bats and fled in panic. Then, as she thought about it, the scene changed unconsciously, and it became that Jiang Xia was bitten by a group of vengeful vampires, and turned into a cold vampire who was more beautiful than Mo, and then was saved by a sentimental and kind human woman, and a forbidden love began...
Just when Suzuki Sonoko began to wonder whether the child of a human and a vampire was a human or a vampire, a low laugh came from the shadows in front.
——A man dressed in European retro attire and a scarlet cloak walked over with his back to the light of the projector.
"Detective Gunda?"
Torakura Daisuke looked at the detective he had hired. At the same time, he discovered that there seemed to be quite a lot of people coming to the study room - in addition to Gunda Ikumi, there were also people from the Suzuki family who were late, and in addition, there were actually two strange men following behind.
...No, one of them was not unfamiliar, he had seen him on TV. It should be Jiang Xia, the detective who was said to solve cases quickly.
——During the process of searching for a detective, Daisuke Torakura had, of course, heard of Jiangxia.
But after looking at the photos, he decisively crossed Jiang Xia out of the list of candidates.
Daisuke Torakura hired a detective to investigate his wife's infidelity.
——He and Torakura Etsuko are twenty years apart in age, and he is very concerned about this age difference, so he doesn't want the young and handsome detective to step into his house or follow his wife, even for an investigation.
...Who would have thought that even if Jiang Xia was not invited, such people would still step into his house, and there was more than one.
Daisuke Torakura glanced at Jiangxia, and then, with the light coming in from the corridor, he glanced at Toru Amuro, who was also younger than his wife, and his face darkened slightly.
Then he walked past the group and turned on the light switch in the study.
Bright light poured down, illuminating the room full of bizarre decorations.
This octagonal study can be called half a vampire collection room——
Around the room, there were wooden sculptures with distorted and exaggerated expressions. There were also rivets, silver mirrors, and bats that were either specimens or models... Next to one wall, there was even a nearly two-meter-high life-size cross, with leather chains for imprisonment hanging from the four corners. The heart area near the intersection was dripping with sticky "blood."
Suzuki Sonoko had encountered many murders, so when she saw the realistic fake blood on the cross, she was no longer so scared.
But you can see it all...
She sneaked over to Jiang Xia's side and hugged her arms skillfully: "It's a bit scary, like going back to the Middle Ages."
Daisuke Torakura was quite happy with the comment "scary".
He snorted and laughed, and threw off the red and black cape behind him. As the cape slowly fell, he said in a deep voice: "I like to wrap myself in vampire clothes like this, and use the projector to summon vampires to descend in the study - it is precisely when I am immersed in such an atmosphere that I can write those masterpieces and let the vampires be reborn in my writing."
Suzuki Sonoko nodded in agreement, but then she touched her chin, thinking that the logic didn't make sense: "But you haven't written a vampire novel for several years. I thought you would have some hero models in your study."
Daisuke Torakura: “…”
It felt like an arrow stabbed his heart, and his expression, which had just improved, darkened again. He didn't want to deal with these annoying guests anymore.
——Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru, these two pretty boys who came from nowhere...not to mention the pretty boy, he actually didn't welcome the three people from the Suzuki family.
After all, according to Daisuke Torakura, a literary master of his high status should not bow to the rich - if he wanted to borrow his precious vampire collection, it should be the Suzuki family's powerful people who came forward. Unexpectedly, in the end, the Suzuki family only sent two juniors who had not yet taken power.
...simply don't take him seriously.
...Just let the students take them around and deal with it.
Thinking of this, Torakura Daisuke only left behind Gunda Ikumi to discuss the commission, and politely sent the others away: "Detective Gunda and I still have something to discuss, everyone please go back after viewing my collection, it's getting late."
Tanosho Shunya whispered a reminder: "Teacher, the road is blocked by heavy snow outside. I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave."
"..." Daisuke Torakura frowned and changed his words unwillingly, "Then help the guests clean up a few guest rooms. You can take them to see the collection room later - Okay, don't gather here, I have something important to do."
The group of people vaguely sensed his impatience and did not stay any longer. After thanking him, they turned around and left the study.
…
After discussing the commission, we finished our meal.
At around eight o'clock, a group of people gathered in the living room to drink tea.
