"Wha! Mr. Maori has a good amount of alcohol! Come on, come on! Cheers to this! ”

"Good! Done! ”

"That! Don't be inhibited, everyone! Coming here is like coming to your own home, you should eat and drink! ”

"Hello! Thank you for your hospitality! ”

In the evening, in the main house of the Takeda family, driven by the joke of Kogoro Mori and the head of the Takeda family, Shinichi Takeda, this welcoming banquet can be described as a joy for the guests and the hosts.

And Yuichi, who was sitting casually at the door because he came back a little late, gave the fish clip in his bowl to the side, and after being satisfied with this Japanese food, Judy turned around boredly, but he found that the maid Lantian Shenxue, who had just served them, was walking out of the kitchen next door with a large plate of food. For this Takeda house, Yuichi, who has already made a prediction that there will be a murder, is very concerned about these abnormal situations now, so he put down his chopsticks and looked at Lantian Shenxue with curiosity on his face and asked.

"All of us already have a meal here, where is Miss Shenxue going with this food now?"

Hearing Yuichi's inquiry, Shenxue, who had a good impression of this handsome and gentle guest, responded with a smile and immediately replied.

"This is going to be delivered to the old lady's room!"

"Old lady? Is it Mr. Takeda's mother? ”

"Yes!"

"That's really rude, I didn't know that the old lady was still alive, let's go visit in a while! After all, the old lady is an elder, and if we live in the Takeda family, it would be better to talk to her! ”

I don't know if Yuichi thought of the old lady who stared at them gloomily and silently when he came in the afternoon, and then wanted to test the relationship between this old lady and Takeda Shinichi and others, and immediately explained politely after hearing Yuichi say this.

"Mr. Yuichi doesn't have to be so polite at all! The old lady Tomoe Takeda doesn't want to see anyone recently, including Mr. Shinichi and others as his son, because after Mr. Negishi's incident, the old lady has been shouting that it is a curse of Lord Spider and refuses to leave the room, and of course no one is welcome in her room, so I think Mr. Yuichi should not go! ”

"Oh? Is that so? That's really offensive, but how did Mr. Negishi's matter have anything to do with the Spider Curse? ”

Yuichi, who heard Lantian Shenxue's answer, still had his own questions in his heart, but the occasion at this moment was not suitable for talking about these topics in depth, and the protagonist this time was also Maori Kogoro, and Yuichi was embarrassed to take the lead before Maori Kogoro started his investigation.

Just after Yuichi apologized to Lantian Shenxue, who looked embarrassed, and asked the other party to go and deliver food to the old lady. Shinichi Takeda, who had already clinked glasses with Kogoro Mori for I don't know how many times, suddenly propped up the table with his hands and staggered up from his seat.

"No more! Can't drink anymore! I still have a puppet to make tonight, Mr. Maori! I'm out of company, but I'll let Ryuuji accompany you! How about you eat and drink well today, and then start investigating that tomorrow? ”

"Hahaha! If Mr. Shinichi has something to do himself, just go and get busy! Mr. Ryuji and I also chatted, and we just talked about the lively places in Tokyo! As for what you said, don't worry about it! Absolutely! I'm a professional! ”

"Good! Then I'll wait for the good news! ”

With the departure of the head of the household Takeda Shinichi, the originally lively banquet gradually came to an end.

After touching a glass with Mori Kogoro again, Takeda Ryuji looked at his younger brother Yuzo on the side and asked curiously.

"Huh? Yuzo! Big brother is gone, and you're still drinking here? Don't you have to help him? ”

Yuzo, who was questioned, poured another glass for himself with the wine glass in his hand, burped, and responded with a drunken wave of his hands.

"Hiccup! Wait a minute! I'll have another drink! Big brother also has to prepare materials first, I'm just giving him a hand, it's okay to go a little late! ”

"Alright! You watch the time yourself, don't let the big brother get angry and run back for a while! ”

Ryuuji, who was a little helpless about his greedy brother, frowned and reminded him, and immediately talked eagerly with Maori Kogoro on the side. After all, Mori Kogoro has boasted to him about a lot of big names just now, and if Mori Kogoro is willing to introduce him to one or two at that time, then his career in Tokyo may be able to go one step further.

Ryuuji, who has his own little ideas, no longer pays attention to Yuzo, but Taylor, who has been on his mind all night, suddenly walks to Yuzo's side.

"Uncle Yong, can you lend me the car key? I want to go to Misa's grave to pay my respects to her. ”

"Misa? It's so late, you're still going to the forest! Something dangerous, right? Why don't you go again tomorrow? ”

After drinking a little dazed, Yuzo put down the wine glass in his hand, and reminded Rob Taylor with the slightest sobriety he still had.

Unfortunately, his kindness didn't stop Taylor from going to Misa's grave late at night, and after smiling at Yuzo, Taylor didn't explain with a hint of nervousness.

"It's okay! It's just right to go now, the moon and stars are good today, and you might be able to see the beautiful starry sky of Tottori Prefecture with her in front of Misa's grave! ”

"Huh? Do you want to see the night view? Can I go with me then? Mr. Taylor! By the way, Xiaolan, can you go with you? ”

Kazuha, who happened to pass by Taylor and Yuzo's side, obviously hadn't sensed the possible ambiguous relationship between Taylor and the dead misa, and when he heard that he was going to see the night scene, he immediately asked with excitement about the dissatisfaction with snatching his own fish when Hattori was eating.

"Of course that's fine! Does Miss Xiaolan want to be together? ”

Xiaolan's face was a little embarrassed when she heard Heye's proposal, but just when she was still hesitating, Taylor, who was next to Yusan, immediately agreed happily.

So, after handing over Conan to Hattori, who had a good relationship with him, and asking them to take care of his somewhat drunk father, Xiaoran, who didn't disturb the world of Yuichi and Judy, followed Kazuha and Taylor to leave the Takeda house in Yuzo's truck.

Yuichi, who saw them leaving, raised his eyebrows at Conan, and said with some amusement.

"In the deep mountains and forests, you really feel free to let Xiaolan follow that Rob Taylor to see the moon? If he wants to do something......"

"Huh! Xiaolan's skills, Brother You, don't you know? Besides, there is also He Ye on the side, that Rob Taylor and we have no grievances, I am very relieved of Xiaolan and them! Compared to this, those talents over there are more suspicious, right? ”

Conan, who was completely immune to Yuichi's ridicule, rolled his eyes at Yuichi and looked at Yuzo Takeda, who stood up to help Shinichi Takeda as a puppet, and Ryuji Takeda, who promised to add firewood to his wife who was going to take his daughter to take a bath after drinking Kogoro Maori.

And on the other side that they didn't pay attention to, Lantian Shenxue finally came to the door of Takeda Tomoe's room, the mother of Takeda Shinichi and the others, and after knocking lightly on the door, Lantian Shenxue, who pulled the door, knelt at the door with a respectful face and pushed the food into the room.

"Old lady, I'll put dinner here! I'll come over and clean up in a moment! ”

However, Takeda Tomoe, who was sitting in front of the Buddha statue in the room and chanting the scriptures, did not say a word to her, and she turned the rosary in her hand with her eyes closed as if she hadn't noticed the deep snow in Lantian, just kept chanting in her mouth.

"Nan no Myoho-renge-kyo!"
