Case 1 - Vampire Legend Murder Case
Vanpaia Densetsu Satsujin Jiken (吸血鬼伝説殺人事件)
Serialised: 18 August - 12 October 2004
Volume release: 17th December 2004
A month after Kinda'ichi went on his bicycle riding vacation, he sends a letter to Miyuki, inviting her and Kenmochi to a themed inn named "Ruins", where one of their former classmates has a part time job. The inn is located in a virtual ghost town due to rumors regarding vampirism that sprung up a few years past. The rumor comes to life when guests of the inn are found dead, their bodies drained of blood, with two puncture wounds on their necks -- which appear to be vampire bites. Worse, the murders are impossible, unless the killer really is a vampire... or one Miyuki Nanase...
