Thirty minutes later, the four of them managed to reach the Nagato family's suburban mansion.

The old butler waited at the door to take them in.

The yard is large, the vegetation is luxuriant, and the villas are built in a grand manner, but they always give a cluttered feeling.

A few people took a closer look and found that the problem was in the pond - the water quality of the pond was turbid, and several pits had been dug next to it, and the excavated earth was piled aside, which looked like a small construction site.

"The pond has recently been remodeled, and we plan to plant trees here next week." The butler noticed their gaze and explained briefly.

The other three nodded, not paying much attention.

Shiraishi looked at the pit on the ground, and then at the circle of sharp iron fences at the top around the yard, and he knew something.

When he entered the house and saw the elderly and kind Chairman Nagato, and the young and beautiful short-haired secretary next to him, Shiraishi remembered almost everything.

Previously, in order to do the task of the Takeda family by the way, Shiraishi set off a few days early.

Tomorrow is Chairman Nagato's birthday, but in recent years, Chairman Nagato's birthday has always been a simple gathering with a few people in the family, and Shiraishi doesn't have to stay, just send the gift.

Nagato Dao lay on the bed in half, looked at the gift, smiled and thanked him.

Shiraishi looked at the small table in his room, on which were two puppets with short arms, dressed in festive fashion.

Nagato Michizo saw their gaze and explained kindly: "It was the juniors who made it to give me a birthday gift." ”

Just looking at the puppet, there is actually nothing wrong with it, and the giver should be praised for being creative.

But now, the four of them have just come out of the Takeda family, and Hattori Heiji and Conan instantly remembered that yesterday Takeda Shin said that the people of the Nagato family came to order two puppets.

Although they thought that if Takeda Shin was really selling drugs to Nagato's house, he would not dare to say it directly to the guests, but in fact, this may not be, what if he is a very reckless character......

Conan, relying on his identity as a bear child, ran over and picked up the puppet: "It's so cute! ”

He secretly checked it, and the weight of the hand was very light, and the two puppets should be hollow.

Conan didn't know much about the process by which the Takeda family made serious puppets, so he couldn't tell whether the hollow here was to save materials, or to reduce weight and make it easier to handle, or to hollow out and hide poison inside.

But at least, judging by the current quality, and the absence of strange noises when shaking, it should be empty and not filled with drugs.

Shiraishi eavesdropped on Conan's conversation with Hattori Heiji while looking at his watch.

Mission time is almost up.

Chairman Nagato is old and in poor health, and has been bedridden and unable to meet with guests for a long time.

He then thoughtfully said goodbye, then walked to the meeting room outside, pretended to be sleepy, opened the mask, and used the blurring time to walk through a few walls to the location marked by the mission.

Shiraishi quickly entered a room that was full of stacks.

In the room sat a man with a knitted hat and a face covered with bandages, revealing only a pair of eyes.

The knitted hat seems to be the same as Akai Shu, but fortunately, this person has been hiding in the room and has not been swaying in the corridor, otherwise if he is seen by Conan and Hattori Heiji, maybe he will be put down by the two bear children and hold down the bandage.

But in fact, the person in front of him has nothing to do with Akai Shuichi, he is the eldest son of Chairman Nagato, Nagato Hideto.

Hidetomi Nagato is 36 years old this year.

Twenty years ago, when he was in high school, he was playing with fire with his classmate Yamada Mitsuki and accidentally set fire to a nearby hotel.

The fire spread very quickly, and Nagato Hidetomi realized that he was in trouble, so he rushed into the flames, and finally rescued only one little girl - the secretary Hinata Yuki he had just met, and the girl's parents were unfortunately killed.

The fire was eventually considered an accident, and the two juvenile arsonists were not arrested.

Nagato Hidetomi was burned and disfigured in the fire, and although the doctor said that he could make his face look less hideous through plastic surgery, Nagato Hidetomi refused. After he took a leave of absence, he hid in his house and wrote. At the same time, he has been taking care of Hinata Yuki, who was sent to an orphanage.

Hinata Yuki was just 6 years old at the time, and he didn't know the cause of the fire, so he only regarded Nagato Hidetomi as a lifesaver, and relied on and liked him. When he grew up, Hinata Yuki also joined the Nagato Group.

A while ago, Hinata Yuki proposed to Hidetomi Nagato.

Nagato Hidetomi agreed, but as soon as he remembered the fire, his conscience ached. In pain, Nagato Hidetomi suddenly thought, why don't you kill yourself to atone for your sins.

So before the relationship between the two was announced, he wrote a suicide note and committed suicide by taking poison.

Shiraishi glanced at the letter in front of Nagato Hidetomi from behind, thinking that the suicide note should be the one he was writing now.

In the suicide note, Nagato Hidetomi explained the cause of the fire, feeling that he was not worthy of Hinata Yuki, and of course, he did not hide it for Yamada Akira, who played with fire with him when he was 16 years old.

Yamada Guangming has now changed his name to Nagato Guangming, although he is a bit of a dog, but he is a talent, and he is also very good at talking, and he successfully entered the Nagato family, and is the husband of Nagato Hidetomi's little sister.

Chairman Nagato has a total of three children, one son is autistic and disfigured, and the other two are daughters, and the daughters are not ambitious, as long as Chairman Nagato passes away, this group is likely to be inherited by Nagato Bright.

Hinata Yuki found the body of Nagato Hidetomi, and after reading the suicide note, he learned that his benefactor had actually been an enemy all along, and his mentality collapsed instantly.

But her mind was sharper than usual.

Hinata Yuki synthesized all kinds of information and used the surrounding environment to formulate a murder plan - she pretended to cooperate with Nagato Hiroshi, murdered the chairman, let Nagato Hiroshi inherit the family business, and blamed everything on Nagato Hidetomi, who committed suicide. In fact, he planned to let him "be killed by Nagato Hidetomi" on the way to the murder of Nagato Akito.

Of course, now that Shiraishi is here, the elaborate plans behind him probably can't be implemented anymore.

Shiraishi looked at the task requirements, changed into the form of a cat, and while Nagato Hidetomi was still struggling to phrase the suicide note, he sneaked over and pushed away the vial containing the poison and hid it under the cabinet.

Although Nagato Hidetomi is a criminal, if he wants to save Hinata Yuki, he can't let him suddenly be led.

At least Hinata's buffer time must be left, otherwise she will definitely focus the anger accumulated for more than twenty years on Nagato Kou, kill him, and then lose her own life.

The crack in Nagato's room was wider than in other rooms—he would sometimes close himself suddenly, not wanting to see anyone, and every now and then, the maid would pass in the food through the crack under the door.

Now it's convenient for Shiraishi.

Shiraishi got out of the crack, and covered his body with the help of the flower pots in the corridor, and came to the door of Chairman Nagato's room to squat.
