"Hey! Uncle Maori! Stop the car! Stop it! ”

Seeing how Conan, who beckoned from the time, could miss a chance encounter with his lifelong friend, he stood up anxiously and patted the front of the car in front of him, and yelled at Mori Kogoro, who was sitting in the co-pilot.

And Yuichi who saw Heiji didn't have the joy on Conan's face, he had only one thought in his heart at the moment.

"With these three Grim Reapers, can I really travel well? And this Mr. Takeda is really ...... It's so pitiful! ”

Just as he was frowning and thinking about what he didn't have, Tailer, who had already beckoned and licked his face while he was in the car, pushed his gas-dead motorcycle and flipped onto the body. In order to take care of Kazuha, Maori Kogoro also sat in the car with him.

So in addition to Yuichi and his wife and Taylor who took advantage of the car, the three Grim Reapers started their death meeting in the car body.

"Huh? You were also commissioned to go to Mr. Takeda's house to investigate the matter? ”

"That's right! I received a power of attorney and some money in the mail from him! ”

"Oh? Is it? Coincidentally, I also received a commission from Mr. Takeda, but my letter of entrustment is different from yours, mine is official, the client is the head of the Takeda family, Takeda Shinichi, and the fee is also paid in advance 500,000, and today he also sent his younger brother to pick me up, otherwise where would a big name like me come to such a barren mountain in Tottori Prefecture! ”

"Huh? So what's going on with this letter of attorney? There is no point in calling two detectives to investigate! Could it be that there are other families with the surname Takeda nearby? ”

Hattori Heiji, who heard Mori Kogoro showing off, immediately unfolded the power of attorney in his arms and studied it with a puzzled face.

"Huh? Is it? Let me see! Please arrive at Takeda's house at Golem Peak before sunset the following Saturday, or there will be another live golem to bait for spiders! ”

"Spider's bait?"

Conan, who heard Mori Kogoro read out this strange letter of entrustment, immediately grasped the point.

And just as Conan was thinking about this strange letter of entrustment, Yuzo Takeda, who was sitting in the cab, was holding a cigarette but suddenly started talking.

"If it's the Takeda family of the puppet peak, then it really refers to my family, because nasty things happen one after another, so the people in the neighborhood say that we are...... The Spider Mansion of Puppet Peak, if you don't want to be cursed, it's best not to approach casually! ”

"Huh? Puppet Peak's ......"

"Spider Mansion?"

Hearing this strange name, Maori Kogoro and the others immediately asked with shocked faces.

And Yuzo Takeda, who saw them like this, laughed and explained again.

"It's just a rumor, don't take it personally! I'm just saying this to amuse you! ”

"But that's weird, too! When I lived here, there were no such rumors! ”

"Oh? This foreign guest! Your name is Taylor, right? About you, I heard my brother say, there were no such rumors at the time when you were there, and when you were sick at my house that summer, it was still Meisa who took care of you. ”

"Yes! That's why I'm here today to thank her for what happened three years ago! By the way, how is Meisha doing lately? ”

Yuzo Takeda's originally smiling face, who heard Taylor's question, suddenly pulled down.

"That rumor spread after you left and after Misa died!"

"What? Misa is dead? ”

Hearing Yuzo Takeda's answer, Taylor suddenly got up from the car body excitedly, and asked again with a face full of disbelief.

"Yes! Died three years ago! ”

"Why?"

"I don't know! I just heard that after you left, two or three days later, Misa hanged herself on the second floor of the puppet warehouse. ”

"This ...... Is it suicide? ”

"Well, and a few days later, my sister-in-law, that is, Misa's mother, also hanged herself in the same place, and they were full of cobwebs when they died, so then rumors of the Spider Mansion and curses spread in this place!"

Everyone who heard Takeda Yuzo's explanation suddenly fell silent, facing this strange situation is indeed creepy, and everyone who didn't know what to say was pulled all the way by Takeda Yuzo to the Spider Mansion on the puppet peak.

And Taylor, who got out of the car, pulled Yoko Takeda, the wife of the second eldest Takeda Ryuji, who came out to greet him, to the side.

"Sister Yoko! Misa, she really ...... Did he just pass away? ”

"Ahh Yes! ”

Yoko, who recognized Taylor as the foreigner who was recuperating at his home three years ago, was stunned for a moment when he heard him ask, and then gave him the answer he didn't want to hear the most, and then Yoko Takeda told him the strange scene like Yuzo Takeda.

"Why is that? Did their mother and daughter really commit suicide? ”

Hearing the weirdness of this, Heiji touched his chin and leaned next to Yoko Takeda and suddenly asked.

And the answer that Yoko Takeda gave him shocked him even more.

"I don't know why! And that's not all...... Not long ago, Mr. Negishi, who often came to my house to take care of my eldest brother's business, also hanged himself in the storage room, and he sneaked into my house while our family was away during the day, and then ......"

"Huh? Does he come to your house often? ”

Hearing Yoko Takeda say that someone had hanged himself here recently, Heiji immediately asked again, and with his detective's intuition, he could already feel the strangeness in this matter.

"Hmmm! My eldest brother is a puppet master, and Mr. Negishi is in charge of puppet sales and delivery, so he has a good relationship with my eldest brother! That day, I thought he should have come to get the finished puppet as usual, but I didn't expect ......"

"When there is no one in your house, can he come here to get a puppet?"

"Yes! Because the puppet's warehouse is not the same as the place where we live, Mr. Keynegishi has the warehouse! ”

"Oh? Is that so? But I always think it's weird! Why did he come to get the puppet and hang himself again? ”

"Yes! That's why my brother wants Mr. Kogoro Mori to come here to investigate and see what is going on with Mr. Negishi! ”

"Ahh Husband! You're out too? ”

Hearing that someone had answered Pingji's question in his place, Yoko Takeda immediately turned to look at the visitor, and then immediately leaned over to the visitor.

"You're the second man, Mr. Ryūji Takeda, aren't you? Anyway, you and your wife don't seem to have a local accent here! ”

Hattori, who heard Takeda's answer, glanced at the third figure of the Takeda family who appeared in front of him, and Hattori, who sensed the strangeness in their voices, couldn't help but ask again.

"Accent? Hahaha! Because we've all lived in Tokyo for a long time! I took a leave of absence to go back to the countryside to play, but I just happened to run into Mr. Negishi's business, and my brother said that I had better not leave until the detective came, and help him deal with the affairs of the family, so I left the vacation postponed until now. ”

"Oh! I see! ”

Just as Hattori was chatting with Takeda Ryuji with an embarrassed face, a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head suddenly walked out of the house laughing.

"Hahaha! Is Mr. Maori coming? ”
