Dracula's Villa Murder Case
He made his first appearance when he invited Kogoro to come to his home to hire him for a case; which was spying on his wife to know if she is loyal to him and offered him a large amount of money. Later after having a chat with his editor about the new book, he went into his studios to watch a vampire film. Later after the film was over, Daisuke was found murder by being stabbed with a streak while on a cross.

During the time while Kogoro tries to figure out who's the killer, He suspected his young wife Etsuko Torakura being the killer due to her affair with Shuichi Hamura, a prof. from North Kantou University. She then revealed about the affair and that she never loved Daisuke and explained what she married him.

It seems when she was in college, her family business was nearly bankrupt until Daisuke, who was a friend of the family agreed to invest in the company under the condition that she would become his bride. After she was forced to marry him, she learns that truth that he was the one that nearly caused her family to be ruined but due to the condition, she couldn't leave him as he had full control of her family business, but since he died, Etsuko would get the business back since she was married to him.

Later it was also revealed that Fumio Doi, The Editor of Monthly Horror Times was giving Daisuke's manuscripts from other writers and using them as his own. He explains a while back he was in debt due to some bad investments and agreed to hand-over the manuscripts in exchanged to settle his debts. Fumio then revealed that Toshiya Tadokoro, Daisuke's Student was his ghost writer who wrote the novels and gave the credit to Daisuke. However, unlike the others Toshiya didn't want Daisuke to die since a deal was made; In exchanged for Toshiya being his ghostwriter, Daisuke agreed to pay for his little sister's medical expense until she felt better.

While still baffled about How Daisuke was killed with no footprints shown outside the house, Kogoro came up with the conclusion that the suspects could be a real vampire, only for Conan to knock him out and revealed the trick. It was then discovered that the killer was none other than Toshiya and explain how he killed him. It seems that when he went to corridor to give Daisuke the film and his favorite drink, he used the steak from the movie to kill him, then created fake footprints outside the room to confuse others but what made the trick work was that he uses the film reel and a tape to lock the door in order to not leave any fingerprints.

As Ran couldn't believe what he did and wondered what would happen to his sister, Toshiya revealed that his sister has been dead one year ago today as he explain that Daisuke only paid the doctor to keep her well rather than treat her. He was lied to by Daisuke until a nurse told him in secret and he came up with this plan.
