"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Stopped in front of the truck was a blonde foreigner, tall and handsome, with a camera around his neck, and repeatedly touched his head to apologize, looking very embarrassed:

"My name is Rob Taylor, an American, and I'm a nature lover photographer." He pronounces Japanese fluently, and he can't make out a foreigner's accent at all.

Rob bent down and bowed, "I can apologize and compensate for the rude behavior just now, but can you take me to the Takeda house, I was so engrossed in the natural scenery of this forest that I got lost." ”

"You're also going to Takeda's house in Tottori Prefecture?"

Mori Kogoro didn't blame anymore, and said loudly, "I'm Tokyo detective Mori Kogoro, entrusted by Mr. Takeda Shinichi to investigate a case there, and his brother came to pick us up in the cockpit in front, so if you want to go, let's go together." ”

Rob, a young foreigner, got into the truck and asked curiously, "What's wrong with Mr. Takeda's family, it doesn't seem like there was any case when I came here three years ago." ”

"Three years ago?"

Takeda Yuzo, who was sitting in the cockpit and driving, replied, and said vaguely: "The Spider Mansion of Puppet Peak, a place with a curse, if you don't want to be cursed, it's best not to approach, of course, this is just an outside rumor." But there are a lot of murders here, and all of my eldest brother's detectives have come to investigate. ”

"Puppet Peak, Spider Mansion, curse?"

Conan frowned slightly, feeling a terrifying haze slowly enveloping him, and when he saw Chen Jun's eyes, they looked at each other, as if they sensed the suspicion in each other's eyes.

Yuzo Takeda took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "Foreign guest, I heard my brother say that when you were sick during the summer vacation, it was Misa who took care of you. ”

"yes, so I'm thanking her today for what happened three years ago." There was a sweet smile on the foreigner's lips and he asked, "How is Misha doing lately?" ”

Takeda Yuzo was silent for a long time before he said, "You'll know when you get to Takeda's house." ”

It seems that there is something hidden, and when the truck arrives at the Takeda family, the mystery is revealed by Yoko Takeda, the second wife of the Takeda family: "Misa died three years ago." ”

"Why?" Rob trembled and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Yoko Takeda replied, "After you left, two or three days later, she committed suicide on the second floor of the puppet warehouse. ”

"Puppet warehouse?"

Chen Jun asked out loud: "Is it suicide?" See it with your own eyes? ”

The beautiful woman Yoko Takeda nodded, "Well, and a few days later, my sister-in-law, that is, Misa's mother, hanged herself in the same place. ”

"Why?" When Maori Kogoro saw Chen Jun asking, he was not far behind.

Yoko Takeda shook her head, "I don't know, and it's more than that. ”

"Mr. Negishi, who took care of my eldest brother a few days ago, also committed suicide, my eldest brother Shinichi Takeda is a puppet master, and Mr. Negishi is in charge of sales and delivery, and the two of them have a good relationship, but a few days ago, Mr. Negishi took advantage of the absence of our whole family, secretly, and hanged himself in the storeroom."

"Three lives? Serial homicides? ”

Chen Jun asked, "What is the specific time when Mr. Gen Case died?" Who was the first to find the body? And where are the bodies now? ”

Yoko Takeda said: "Three days ago, the specific time we found it was around 9 o'clock in the morning, and it was found by my eldest brother Takeda Shinichi, and the body was brought to Kyoto by his family, and now it should be incinerated or buried." ”

In terms of time, it is impossible for Chen Jun to go all the way to Kyoto to dissect and analyze the corpse, and it is impossible to ask the Takeda family to dig up Misha from the ground three years ago, it is too offensive to be killed, and three years have passed, the corpse has long been ossified, and it is difficult to find clues with higher value.

He is not in a hurry now, after all, the Grim Reaper elementary school student has just arrived, and there will definitely be a new murder.

It's just that before this, it is also a good thing to stop the murderer in the shadows and save a life, but unfortunately there are no clues now.

At this time, the eldest son of the Takeda family, Takeda Shinichi, rushed over, that is, the client who entrusted Mori Kogoro to investigate the root case, pulled Mori aside and whispered:

"Mr. Maori, I guess Mr. Negishi was killed by my family, yes, this murderer should be my family, I hope you find out, only tell me one person, and I will deal with the rest of the matter."

The whisper was quiet, but Chen Jun heard it clearly.

Conan also has his own means, relying on the body of a 6-year-old child and no one noticed, sneaking into the corner to hear it clearly, after listening, looking at Chen Jun's eyes seemed to be a little proud.

After speaking, Takeda Shinichi turned around and noticed the foreigner Rob, "Long time no see, Rob." ”

"Long time no see, Mr. Shinichi, I'm here today to thank you for what happened three years ago."

Takeda Shinkazu: "You're too polite, it just so happens that my niece Shae and Emi are here, and you used to have a good time." ”

Two twins, who were slightly taller than Conan, stood at the feet of Takeda Shinichi, and the foreigner Rob bowed down and smiled, "Shae, Eimi, hello to you." ”

I saw the two twin Lori glaring at Rob and said coldly: "Murderer!" ”

"It's killing again, it's coming again, it's terrible." The two twin Lori glanced at each other, and immediately ran backwards crying, "Wow, mom is so scary." ”

Rob was embarrassed, his head was full of black lines, and then the corners of his mouth smiled sadly and miserably: "Three years ago, when I was a donkey friend, I was hit by the collapse of the puppet peak mudslide, but fortunately I was rescued by Meisha. She took care of me for a long time, and we were very happy with the Takeda family, and I think that time was the happiest time of my life, and we met again, but when I came to the Takeda house, I found out that she had hanged herself three years ago. ”

A dusty past, as if hiding a beautiful relationship.

Yoko Takeda and the other Takeda family members all sighed, Xiaolan inexplicably remembered a person who left, and after learning the reason for the matter, everyone stopped asking more.

Next, Takeda Shinichi's second brother Takeda Ryuji arrived, a rather handsome and decent middle-aged man who spoke well, and arranged rooms for Chen Jun, Conan, Maori Kogoro, Rob and others.

In the evening, it was an early dinner party prepared by the Takeda family.

Mori Kogoro and the Takeda family Takeda Shinichi, Takeda Ryuji, and Takeda Yuzo are staggered together, and the maids serve Tottori Prefecture's special yellow croaker delicacies in order.

"Mom, why do they all have fish to eat, but we don't?" The two little loli complained.

Yoko Takeda said: "Don't make trouble, buy it according to the number of people, mom has one here, there are many yellow croaker bones, enough for you to eat equally." ”

"No, each of us wants a whole strip."

"I've got one here, for you." Xue Sui's wooden case leaned against Yoko Takeda and handed the yellow croaker on his plate to the two little loli.

"Thank you, sister." The two little loli shouted happily.

After a small episode, Chen Jun handed the yellow croaker on the table to Xue Sui's table, "I don't like to eat fish, I have many spines. ”

Xiaolan saw it and was full of envy.

After the dinner, the maid came to clean up the mess, and Takeda Shin said together: "I'm going to make a puppet, as for the case, please Mr. Maori." ”

Maori Kogoro was still drinking, and together with Takeda Ryuji and Takeda Yuzo, his face was flushed.

The others didn't drink, and the dishes in Robo's case barely moved, so he got up and asked Yuzo Takeda, who had the car keys, "Can you lend me the car keys, I want to go to Sami's grave to pay respects." ”

Xue Sui got up and said, "It's so late, the stars in the sky outside the door should be very beautiful, can you take me along, Xiaolan wants to be together?" ”

"Okay, let's go together." Xiaolan raised her hand excitedly and looked at Chen Jun, "Isn't the eldest brother together?" ”

"No, you can go."

"Leave him alone, he's probably still thinking about things." Xue Sui snorted angrily and pulled Xiaolan away.

Soon after, everyone at the dinner slowly left, leaving only Chen Jun and Conan in the room, and Maori Kogoro, who was lying on the tatami mat and sleeping soundly.

"Won't the big brother go with Sister Xuesui?"

"She has her plans, I have my plans, and the little ghost, what do you see, I don't feel like you're a primary school student, the detective looks much more professional than your uncle Maori Kogoro, will you hide any identity."

Chen Jun had the intention of teasing, and did not reveal Conan's identity for the time being.

Conan's whole body tensed, a few drops of cold sweat flowed down, and he hurriedly said: "Where is it, where is it, big brother, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Did the big brother see something?" Conan hurriedly changed the subject.

"The medical examiner is based on facts, and nothing has happened so far."

"But, there are a lot of suspicious points, the mysterious and eccentric Takeda Shinichi, the two little Lori, and the old lady Takeda who hides in the room and doesn't go out, it's very interesting to recite Buddhist scriptures."

"Mr. Shinichi!"

"Brother Xinyi!"

"Brother Xinyi!"

Suddenly, there were shouts from the maid and Takeda Ryuji and Takeda Yuzo outside the door, Conan's face changed, and he immediately ran out of the door with Chen Jun.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

"My eldest brother went back to the studio to make a puppet, but I didn't see him at all, and my wife asked him to take a bath and didn't see anyone else." Ryuji Takeda hurriedly replied.

"Puppet warehouse!"

After Chen Jun finished speaking, he immediately ran to the warehouse on the second floor where the Takeda family said that Misha hanged herself.

Conan also rushed away, and when the Takeda family members heard this, a deep chill appeared in their hearts, and they followed the footsteps of the two and ran over, only to see that the door of the warehouse on the second floor was tightly locked.

Conan yelled, "It's locked inside, the axe." ”

"No need."

Chen Jun said calmly, stood outside the wooden door, kicked it over, and the wooden door was kicked open in an instant.

Inside was a terrifying-looking scene.

I saw Shinichi Takeda, who entrusted Mori Kogoro to investigate the murder, his body was wrapped in net cables, hanging from the beams of the house, his eyes widened, and his long tongue sticked out.

Look straight at the crowd.

Everyone in the Takeda family, including Conan, gasped.
