Chapter 228: The Spider Kills!
"Big brother! Eldest brother! Where are you? ”
When Conan and Heiji carried Mori Kogoro, who was drunk on the table, back to the room that Takeda Shinichi had arranged for him, suddenly Yuzo Takeda's somewhat panicked voice sounded within the range of Takeda's house.
And Conan and Heiji, who had been a little nervous by this deeply yin Takeda house, immediately put the quilt on Maori Kogoro after hearing this shout, and turned around and ran towards the place where the sound came from.
On the other side, Yuichi and Judy, who were watching the stars in the courtyard of the Takeda house, heard this strange sound, and after looking at Takeda Ryuji, who had just come out of the firewood room, they also ran towards the place where Takeda Yuzo shouted, compared to Conan's guess, Yuichi could already be sure, and Takeda Shinichi, who had just pushed the cup with them, might have been cold, and what he had to do now was to find out the suspicious person who created the series of events in the Takeda house.
Finally, in a studio next to the Takeda house, Yuichi, who ran with Takeda Ryuji, met Conan and Heiji who came from the other side and Yuzo who was going crazy in the studio.
"Yuzo! What's going on? Your howl of the night! ”
Feeling that some of the friends who were embarrassed in front of their friends from Tokyo, Ryuuji's tone was a little bad.,After a quick glance at the situation in the studio.,Scolding Yuzo who was crazy on the side.。
However, Yuzo's next answer made him dare not pretend to be like this anymore.
"Second brother! Big brother is gone! I've searched the studio and all the other places he might go, but nowhere can I find him, do you think he's the same as Mr. Negishi, really like Mom said......"
"Shut up! Mom is confused, aren't you sober too? Yuzo! The eldest brother must be drunk and doesn't know where to lie and fall asleep, let's separate and look around, we will definitely find him! ”
After reprimanding Yuzo who was talking a little nonsense, Ryuuji, who saw the maid Lantian Shenxue rushing over, gave her a few words of advice, and took Yuzo to look around, and Yuichi and the others, who saw this situation, couldn't continue to stand idly by. After all, the other party just warmly entertained them, and Takeda Shinichi is also the client who entrusted Maori Kogoro to investigate the case this time, if something happens to him, this trip to Tottori Prefecture will be a little embarrassing.
After running all the way and searching for the Takeda House, Conan, who did not find Takeda Shinichi, stimulated his sense of smell and accidentally discovered the suspicious points on the warehouse not far from the Takeda House.
"Mr. Ryuuji! Is the window on the second floor of that warehouse always open? ”
Following Conan's guidance, everyone's eyes were focused on the warehouse not far away, but after seeing Conan's warehouse, Takeda Ryuji and Takeda Yuzo's faces suddenly became ugly, and after Conan asked again, the ugly Takeda Ryuji opened his mouth and denied it.
"No...... There were two people hanging in that warehouse, and it felt eerie when you walked in, and no one usually approached it, let alone opened the warehouse on the second floor! ”
"Oh? Is it? Then we may be able to go over and look for it, and now that we can find everything we can find at home, maybe the drunken Mr. Shinichi is there! After all, it's normal for drunk people to wander around in the wrong place, right? ”
Hearing Takeda Ryuji say this, Conan, who has always been sensitive to death, immediately sensed the strangeness, and after finding an excuse to go over to find Takeda Shinichi, he ran towards the warehouse on his little short legs.
"Hey! Are you really going there? ”
Seeing the Heiji who followed Conan past, Yuichi and the others, although they were a little hairy in their hearts, Ryuuji, who didn't want to show his cowardice in front of outsiders, gritted his teeth and dragged Yuzo to run over.
By the time they arrived in front of the warehouse, Hattori Heiji and the others, who had come first, were already desperately slamming the door at the door of the warehouse.
"This warehouse is locked from the inside! Sure enough, there was a problem! Is there anything like an axe around Mr. Ryuuji's warehouse? I think we might need to brute-force the lock! ”
Seeing that the warehouse door was actually opened and locked from the inside, Ryuuji also felt the strangeness of this, and after turning out an axe from the utility room not far away, he rushed back to the warehouse in a panic, and smashed the warehouse door with the axe as he volunteered. The dilapidated door of the warehouse opened, and the darkness behind it revealed itself to them in the light of a bright full moon.
"This ...... This is? ”
"It's Lord Spider who is doing this! I knew that Lord Spider wouldn't let us go! ”
Looking at Takeda Shinichi who was hanging in the center of the warehouse with a rope and countless silk threads wrapped around his body, Yuichi and the others didn't say anything, and Takeda Tomohui, who arrived after hearing the news under the care of Lantian Shenxue, took the rosary in his hand and began to sigh, followed by a muttering chanting sound.
Looking at Tomoe Takeda's strange performance, Judy, who felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, coughed dryly, and reminded Takeda Ryuji and Takeda Yuzo, who were already a little stupid on the side.
"That! I think it's a good idea to put Mr. Shinichi down there and call an ambulance, what do you think? Maybe he can save it! ”
Takeda Ryuji and Takeda Yuzo, who were said by him, also reacted immediately, and immediately ran to the center of the warehouse, ready to put Takeda Shinichi down. However, after Yuichi, who came to Takeda Shinichi's side one step ahead of them, moved a box and put it under his feet, he looked at Takeda Shinichi's eyes, and after observing the pulse on his neck, he stopped Takeda Ryuji and Takeda Yuzo who were rushing behind him.
"I'm Yuichi Kudo of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Search Division 1, and I'm sorry to tell you that Mr. Shinichi Takeda can already confirm his death, and his death should have been an hour ago! So, now that this is the scene of the murder, although I can understand your grief at the moment, but in order to find the real culprit, this warehouse can only remain the same at the moment! ”
"Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Search Division 1 Police Department?"
Takeda Ryuji and Takeda Yuzo, who heard Yuichi's explanation, froze in place, and after taking another look at Yuichi who was holding Takeda Shinichi's body and studying, they didn't know what to do, so they had to retreat to the door of the warehouse first.
And Heiji, who heard Yuichi report the death information, looked at Takeda Shinichi's body at the door of the warehouse, and thought of something, so he whispered to Conan on the side.
"Conan! It could have been a premeditated murder! ”
"Huh? What did you say? Peaceful! Murder? How can you be so sure! ”
Conan, who heard Heiji speak, was inclined to be a murder in his heart, but when he heard Heiji say this, he still asked cautiously.
"Because when I received that strange power of attorney, I also received a letter!"
"A letter?"
"That's right! It says that there will be another live golem here tonight to bait the spiders. Contacting that strange power of attorney, I'm sure it's actually a letter announcing a murder! And the letter mentioned again, and then in connection with the information I learned at Takeda's house today, I think this is related to the hanging incident that was rumored to be a spider murder three years ago! Maybe the murderer is among them, and this spider mansion must be hiding something we don't know, and this may be the murderer's motive for killing! ”
"Murder prophecy?"
Conan, who heard Heiji's analysis, couldn't help but look at the Takeda family in front of him and pondered, no matter how conclusive Heiji said, the evidence to prove this murder still has to be found, and only by finding evidence can the next step of the investigation be launched to confirm whether these people are suspected.
