Tuesday, August 17th, early morning, heavy rain, Takeda House.

Yamazaki watched Robert go and retrieve his equipment and hide the gun in the woods, then went to the bathroom together, went in and rinsed with cold water, and washed the dirt off his body.

Coming out of the bathroom, Robert looked at Yamazaki who was waiting at the door and asked, "What do you want to know?"

"Whatever. Yamazaki smiled, "Seeing how hard you endured just now, it can be seen that you are also hesitant to kill the people here, and it may be better to say it." He sat down on the floor of the hallway, "You must have learned something from Mr. Negishi to kill him and plan this operation, so let's start with that, how about it?"

Looking at the heavy rain outside, Robert sat down, "I did come here three days ago, and I was going to accompany them to see the Tottori Festival, but I came one step late, and Negishi opened the door to let me in. At that time, I knew at first glance that Negishi had taken a large amount of anesthetic, and he told me this at the time. "Come to Meisha again, in fact, you don't have to feel guilty, tell you a secret, although that misinformation made Meisha suffer a lot, but in fact, it is not the main reason why Meisha will commit suicide." ”

"Under my questioning, Negishi, who was not clear in his mind, told everything about it. At the funeral that year, he found that Shinichi didn't shed a single tear, and Ryuuji cried hoarsely, so he found an opportunity to inquire about Shinichi and learned a secret. ”

It turned out that Misa was not Shinichi's daughter, but Ryuji's daughter, because Shinichi was sick and it was difficult to have children and wanted a child, so his wife asked Ryuji to help her have a child. ”

Later, in order to avoid bigger problems, Ryuuji went to live in Tokyo, and did not return to this home until he got married and had children. But it was this that went wrong, and the old lady might have seen it, but she thought it was clever to name the three children into a cycle, and as time went by, Shinichi became suspicious, so he went to the hospital for a check-up, and when he found out the truth, he beat Meisha when he came back. ”

"This incident happened before I came, but at that time only a few people knew about it, and because of the relationship between the ugliness of the family and the public, when I was there, the conflict was suppressed, and after I left, it broke out again, plus the misinformation, under the double blow, Meisha, Meisha went, and then her mother went with her. ”

Yamazaki said, "I see. Then he asked, "Who are you guilty about?"

"Long Er, he shouldn't have done this kind of thing back then, even if he did, just take their mother and son away, he is the main culprit. The old lady who pretended to be smart was the trigger, Shinichi was one of the accomplices in beating people, Sarong and Eimi were indirect accomplices, and Ms. Yoko's husband and two children were dead, so it must be very painful, so it would be better to help her get rid of her. Robert said, "You and Mr. Maori, the curious detectives, are too late to die." As for Miss Heye, I didn't invite her to come, she deserved to die. ”

"It turned out to be because of Mr. Yuzo and Miss Shioya. Yamazaki smiled, "And Hattori was really you who came in just in case." ”

"Yes," said Robert, "it came so suddenly, and I have some things to attend to, so I don't want to die here now." ”

"Where did you get your gun?" asked Yamazaki.

"Let a friend send it in batches in the condition of the parts. Robert said.

"I don't have any more questions to ask. Yamazaki said, "Go back, Robert, and come back when you don't want to kill anyone, or bring the ashes of Misa's mother and daughter, and don't come back in the future." ”

"That's right," Robert muttered, "since they have chosen to commit suicide, they must not want to face this family again." ”

"I heard that Huo Xiu's company has a warhead, if you really can't quit killing, let's try it there. Yamazaki said.

"You mean the madmen?" asked Robert, somewhat surprised.

"Isn't your current behavior crazy enough in the eyes of the world?" Yamazaki asked with a smile.

"This ......," Robert muttered.

"Okay, I'm back, and there's still someone waiting for me. Yamazaki stood up.

"Wait," Robert stood up, "I took a doll from Shinichi's studio and hid it under a stone table in the backyard, Shinichi came to you for this, each of his dolls is selling for hundreds of thousands of yen, because there are ...... in it"

"Is it an anesthetic?" Yamazaki laughed, "Don't underestimate the police, now that Mr. Shinichi has entered their sights, I'm sure they will soon find out about Mr. Shinichi's problem." ”

"No, I mean you can get some benefits. Robert laughed.

"That's right. Yamazaki smiled, "Okay, thank you." ”

"You're welcome. Robert laughed.

"Good night, Robert, and have a good night's sleep. Yamazaki said.

"The same goes for you. Robert said. ……

Moments later, Maori's rooms.

Hearing the sound of the door being slammed, Hattori hurriedly looked and found that it was Yamazaki who had returned, and immediately asked, "Has it been solved?"

"It's settled, no one was hurt. Yamazaki said.

Rubbing his numb body, Hattori asked, "What about the others, did you catch them?"

"Nope. Yamazaki said, "You can lie down a little longer, and I'll sleep a little longer." Then I started to make the bed again.

"Damn, how can you tell me to come down in peace. Hattori asked, "By the way, is that guy Robert?"

"He had a hood and was dressed in black. Yamazaki said.

"Did you call the police?" asked Hattori.

"No, how long do you think it will take for the police to come and find evidence of this heavy rain?" Yamazaki made his bed and lay down.

"Hey, you're not going to fool me, are you?" asked Hattori angrily.

"If you don't believe it, forget it. Yamazaki said, "Good night." As he spoke, he turned his back and ignored it.

After his body recovered, Hattori went to Robert's room to take a look and found that there was no abnormality in it, Robert was sleeping, thought about it and didn't go in, and then went to Kazuha's room to take a look, and when he saw that there was no abnormality, he went back and lay down on the bed, and then thought about whether Robert was the person's problem, and fell asleep unconsciously. ……

Morning, rain, Maori rooms.

Yamazaki went around the backyard to confirm where the doll was, and then returned to read the magazine.

Soon after, Hattori woke up, "Have you been to see Robert?"

"Nope. Yamazaki said.

"No?" Hattori immediately ran.

At this time, Mori, who was sleeping about the same time, was woken up by the footsteps of Hattori, and after discovering a hole in the wall, he asked Yamazaki, who was looking at the magazine, "What's going on?"

"Someone tried to snipe at us last night, so I made a hole and got out of here. Yamazaki said.

"What!" Maori was taken aback, then asked, "What about the people, did you catch it?"

"Nope. Yamazaki said.

"What does that man look like?" asked Maori.

"It was raining heavily, it was dark, and he still had a hood. Yamazaki said.

"Did you call the police?" asked Maori.

"Uncle, even if the police believe me, how long do you think it will take to get to the mountains in the windy and rainy weather last night?" asked Yamazaki.

"That's just as well. Maori asked, "Did you find anything?"

"I found a doll under a stone table in the backyard in the morning," Yamazaki said. ”

"Dolls?" Maori wondered.

"On this, uncle, I think it's best to call Mr. Oshima and ask his brother who is a policeman to come and visit. "I've heard that each of Mr. Shinichi's dolls are priced in the hundreds of thousands of yen, and I suspect they contain ......."

"Anesthetic!" Maori was taken aback.

"It's worthy of an uncle, just guess it. Yamazaki laughed.

"Very well, I'll call right away. Maori said.

At this time, Hattori's voice came from outside, "Mr. Robert, where were you last night?"

"Let's go out and have a look. Maori asked as he walked, "Do you know what this kid is doing?"

Yamazaki said, "Hattori suspects that the man last night was Robert. ”

"What!" Maori asked, "is it true?"

"Uncle, as I said earlier, the man has a hood. Yamazaki said.

At this time, the two saw the situation in the front yard, and Hattori was asking Robert.

"Sleeping in the room. Robert said, "I think you saw that, too." ”

"Hah, I leaked my stuffing," Hattori laughed, "you didn't fall asleep at that time......"

"I'm sorry, Hattori-san, I was woken up by you. "Last night it rained so loudly that I didn't sleep deeply. ”

"Damn. Hattori asked, "So where were you four days ago?"

"I refuse to answer your question. Robert said, and then said, "Okay, get out of the way, I'm leaving." ”

"It's okay to go, but you can't leave Takeda's house until the police come. Hattori said.

"I'll have lunch before leaving. Robert said, and left.

After that, Mori called Mr. Oshima. ……

Den.

After breakfast, Mori and Yamazaki went to the backyard to find the doll, and found that there was indeed an anesthetic inside, so they made an appointment with Takeda Shinichi.

As soon as Takeda Shinichi saw the anesthetic inside the doll, his face immediately turned pale.

"Mr. Shinichi, I think what you're really looking for is actually this. "If I'm not mistaken, you're actually buying this thing in partnership with Mr. Negishi, using the dolls you made." ”

Shinichi Takeda swallowed hard, "Mr. Mao, Mr. Maori, I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"Mr. Negishi's death is probably because of this conflict with other traffickers. "I'll tell you something, someone hacked into here with a gun last night, and I'm afraid you'll be the next target." ”

"What!" Shinichi Takeda was taken aback.

"For the sake of safety, you should surrender to the police and accept the protection of the police. Maori said.

Yamazaki said, "Mr. Yuzo, who helped you, is also an insider, so Mr. Shinichi, you didn't suspect that it was Mr. Yuzo who invited Hattori." ”

"......" Shinichi Takeda was silent, and the study was quiet for a while.

After about ten minutes, Shinichi Takeda closed his eyes and said with difficulty, "I—I understand." ”

"Then I'll go out first. Mori took the doll and went out with Yamazaki. ……

Maori's room.

Looking at the puppet, He Ye asked curiously, "Is this the puppet made by Mr. Shinyi?"

"It's not just a doll, it's also a narcotic. Maori proudly showed off the anesthetic inside the doll.

"Anesthetic!" Kazuha and Hattori were taken aback.

"I'm going to solve a big deal this time. Maori laughed.

"It turned out to be for these things. Hattori said. ……

An hour later, Mr. Oshima's brother, Officer Oshima of the Ridge Police Station, led the team to Takeda's house.

Shinichi Takeda and Yuzo Takeda surrendered to Officer Oshima and were later sentenced to five years and three years of prison respectively for trafficking narcotics.

Officer Oshima questioned Robert, and learned that he had arrived at Osaka's Kansai International Airport ten days earlier, and had traveled all the way from the mountains to Tottori Prefecture, where he had lost his way through the woods in the mountains.

Officer Oshima called the mountain huts along the route according to the route map drawn by Robert, but most of them could not be remembered because it was the peak tourist season, and it was completely impossible to verify.

Officer Oshima, with Robert's permission, inspected Robert's luggage and found thermal imaging equipment, a black full-body swimsuit, and a dagger, but these were not enough to be strong evidence.

Officer Oshima listened to Hattori's analysis of the guns near Takeda's house and applied for the transfer of police dogs, but because of the heavy rain last night, nothing was gained.

Officer Oshima asked Yamazaki, "How do you know there's someone outside?"

"Officer, don't waste time with me. "It was dark and rainy, and I was only sure he was wearing black." ”

"Alright then," Officer Oshima said, "thank you for your cooperation. ”……

In the afternoon, the police dog's search for the gun was fruitless, and the investigation of Robert was over, but there was no result, and the police took away Takeda Shinichi and Takeda Yuzo, and Mori, Yamazaki, Hattori, Kazuha and Robert also followed. Robert stayed at a guesthouse in a small village under the mountains, and the four of them went to Tottori Station. ……
