Chapter 230: Once Upon a Time in Takeda

"But that place is ten kilometers away! We only have one car, the one that Rob drove away, and we can't rush over it all at once in a hurry! ”

"What then? And Ye didn't bring a big brother either! Otherwise! ”

"Big brother? I remember that not long ago, I just gave Xiaolan a big brother! In that case......"

"Hey! Conan! Where are you going? ”

Pingji, who saw Conan suddenly turn around and leave the warehouse, asked with a puzzled face. However, Conan, who was anxious about Xiaolan, didn't have the time to explain to him, thinking that Conan might have a way to contact them and Ye, and after looking back at Yuichi in the warehouse, he also followed Conan out of the warehouse.

On the other side, Yuichi, who didn't pay any attention to their situation at all, was also staring at the corpse in front of him in deep thought.

"The door of the warehouse is locked from the inside, so the murderer obviously can't get out of the gate after committing the murder, and after just searching the warehouse, there are really no suspicious people here, so where did the murderer leave? Is it the little window that Conan discovered? But this window is too small, right? Only children can crawl in and out, so will the murderer be a child? Obviously impossible, if the murderer was a child, how could he hang Takeda Shinichi? The murderer must have used some means, but I haven't figured it out yet! In this case, this is also a closed room murder case! ”

After combing through the thoughts in his heart, Yuichi, who was about to go around to the back of Takeda Shinichi's body to check it, suddenly felt something under his feet, and after squatting down and looking for it by the moonlight, he slowly pinched a sharp object from the ground wearing rubber gloves.

"This is? Pushpin? It looks like it's rusty on the surface, but it's not on the needle, is it because it just came out of somewhere? So where was it nailed in the first place? ”

Yuichi, who couldn't figure out this problem, put the pushpin in the evidence bag he had prepared, stood up and continued his investigation.

"There was blood on the back of the body's head, and there were marks of impact, was it because the murderer had hit him before? Did the murderer knock Takeda Shinichi unconscious and then hang himself here? But the question goes back again, how did the murderer get out of here after he arranged this? Shinichi Takeda died at about nine o'clock in the evening, when she left the living room after dinner, and everyone who left the main house at that time was suspicious except for the drunken Uncle Maori! If we are excluded from the power of attorney, then the murderers should be these people! But what did he do to make the scene look like this? ”

"And according to Takeda Ryuji, no one has used it for three years, and there is no dust on the floor and shelves. And then there was Shinichi Takeda's sandals and flashlight actually falling in the corner of the warehouse, so far away from the place where he was hanged? Was it because the murderer dragged him here again? ”

Just after Yuichi picked up the sandals and flashlight that seemed to be Takeda Shinichi from the corner and put them on, suddenly a somewhat shy voice rang out at the door of the warehouse.

"That...... Mr. Yuichi! You're tired of being here too, aren't you? Would you like to try the tea I made? ”

"Huh? Miss Deep Snow? ”

Yuyi, who was interrupted by the maid Lantian Shenxue, found that everyone who was originally crowded at the door didn't know when they had disappeared, and Yuyi, who had no clues for the time being, sighed, and sat on a wooden box in the warehouse with the tea brought by Lantian Shenxue and slowly tasted it.

Glancing at the deep snow that was about to leave, Yuichi, who was sitting on the box, suddenly had an idea and started talking.

"How many years has Miss Shenxue been at Takeda's house?"

"Ahh Me? It's been four or five years since I've been here! ”

"Oh? It's been so long! Are you familiar with Miss Misa, who died three years ago, and her mother, Mrs. Kinyo? ”

Hearing that Yuichi had been here for so long in the deep snow, he suddenly became excited and tried to ask.

"I am generally familiar with the words of Madame Juandai! But I'm familiar with Misa! ”

"Oh? Why? Is it because you and Miss Misa are familiar with each other? ”

"Yes! Because Misa and I used to be nurses in the same hospital, and although Misa was five years younger than me, she had a good personality, so we quickly became good friends! ”

"And you're here to be a maid?"

"Hah! I quit the hospital because I didn't want to be a nurse anymore! Later, Misa was afraid that I would not have a job, so she introduced me here as a maid! Misa, she's really a good girl! Gentle and understanding, what a ......"

"What a pity! Since she has such a cheerful personality, why did she suddenly commit suicide without thinking about it? ”

Looking at Lantian Shenxue on the side with a look of reminiscence, Yuichi, who was listening to her recollections, also sighed, through Lantian Shenxue's introduction, Yuichi basically understood what kind of person Takeda Misa was, but if the other party was really such a cheerful person, how could he suddenly commit suicide? Intuition tells Yuichi that something must be going on.

Sure enough, Lantian Shenxue's answer then made him confirm his thoughts.

"Maybe it's because of that?"

"That thing? Can you elaborate on that? ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that one day a few years ago, Misa's father, Mr. Shinichi, came back from the hospital one day, suddenly grabbed Mrs. Kinyo, and lost his temper angrily, I remember what he said at the time! [You have deceived me for twenty years! 】”

"Deceived him for twenty years? What did Lady Kinyo deceive him? ”

Hearing what Shenxue said, Yuichi hurriedly asked.

"This ...... I don't know! And Misa was seriously injured at that time! ”

"Misa is seriously injured? Why is that? ”

"Because Meisa wanted to stop them from quarreling at the time, but Mr. Shinichi was very excited, and pushed him to the side of the pillar, and Meisa, who hit the pillar, immediately bled on her forehead, and then went to the hospital for seven stitches, although the wound was finally healed, but her forehead was forever left with a scar, everyone said that it was a pity for her to be a big beauty!"

"I see? That's a shame! So later Miss Misa was depressed for this reason? I don't think she's that kind of person! ”

"I don't know! It's just that since then, Misa has become depressed, and she resigned from the hospital and returned home, and then hid in her room and cried every day until she met Rob! ”

"Rob?"

After hearing Lantian Shenxue mention this person who appeared with Heji, Yuichi realized that he had just suspected the people of the Takeda family, but he didn't seem to pay much attention to this person who also came here today to repay his kindness. Looking at it now, it seems that the relationship between this person and the Takeda family is not as simple as it seems.
