Chapter 254 The Spider's House in Puppet Hill

A middle-aged man named Takeda Shinichi is the head of the family here. He also asked Hattori Heiji to come and investigate certain things. Because he and Hattori's mother are... incredibly distant relatives, so he invited Hattori.

This slightly famous high school detective.

"Let's go in and talk."

"good."

Just before everyone was about to go in, a foreigner walked out of the woods behind everyone. This was a handsome blond guy in red.

"Oh~ It's Robert. It's been a long time since we last met. I remember the last time you came here was three years ago."

The handsome guy spoke awkward Japanese and said in a measured tone, "Yes, I'm saying thank you for what happened three years ago."

"Okay, okay, just treat this place as your own home, don't be too formal." Takeda Shinichi paused and looked away from Robert, "Oh, you two are here too."

A twin sister appeared behind Robert, about the same age as Conan.

"Eiweiweiwei, he's here again."

"Sae Sae, why is he here again?"

"Eiweiwei, the murderer is here, what should we do?"

"Sae Sae, my sister doesn't know what to do."

"Eiweiweiwei, are we going to die?"

"Sae Sae, we are dead."

"How terrible!"

"How terrible!"

This strange conversation left everyone dumbfounded. They were indeed sisters born from the same womb. Even the way they spoke was exactly the same. But the most important thing was the sentence "murderer!"

Robert's expression changed, but he still bent down and said to Sae Eumi gently, "How could uncle kill someone? It must be that you have some misunderstanding about uncle."

"Ahhhh, so scary!"

"Oh oh oh, so scary!"

Robert's words not only had no effect, but had the opposite effect, scaring the two sisters and running away in horror.

"Emi, Sae!" Takeda Yoko, the mother of the two sisters, shouted their names loudly, but they ran away long ago.

"Sorry, Robert."

"No, it's okay." Robert's face looked a little ugly, but he still forced a smile.

In the back, Okino, Hattori and Conan all had serious expressions. Regardless of whether what the two sisters said was true or not, the foreigner named Robert was indeed somewhat suspicious. Of course, there was another person who was suspicious... Takeda Shinichi.

After that, Okino and his party were arranged by Takeda Shinichi to a bedroom. Of course, there were only Okino, Conan, Hattori and the uncle in this room. Originally, I only wanted to invite Hattori, a high school detective, but I didn't expect that he would be so famous.

Mouri Kogoro was actually among them, which made him extremely happy, which caused a smile on his face throughout the rest of the conversation.

Okino Shi: I'm afraid this guy is a fool!

"Mr. Maori, this is the letter I received a few days ago."

The uncle took the letter and read it slowly. The content is roughly as follows:

Dear Mr. Takeda, please allow me to call you this, because your various actions have finally violated the bottom line of Spider Fairy, so...

Are you ready? A new puppet is about to be born. Only in this way can the anger of the Spider Fairy be appeased!

Yours sincerely, the messenger of Spider Fairy

.....

"This is a threatening letter!" The uncle couldn't help but glance at Mr. Takeda. Could it be that this guy has done something outrageous?

"Yes." Mr. Takeda's face remained normal, "Actually, I have always felt that someone in this family has a problem. I might as well tell you that my friend Mr. Negishi hanged himself a few days ago."

"What, hang yourself?" Hattori's expression changed.

"Excuse me, what does Mr. Negishi do?" the uncle asked.

"He is responsible for selling the puppets we produce here, while I am responsible for making the puppets."

"I see, that's what happened. Then why did Mr. Negishi suddenly commit suicide?" The uncle couldn't help but ask.

Takeda Shinichi's expression changed slightly, and he said bitterly: "What suicide? I suspect that Mr. Negishi's death was a homicide, and the murderer was someone from this family."

Mr. Takeda's words changed the expressions of everyone present.

"That's why I want to ask Hattori Heiji to come over and help me investigate who this person is. But since Mr. Mori is here, I'll leave it to you." After saying this, Mr. Takeda's tone was extremely sincere, and he didn't even think about it.

I had the nerve to refuse.

"This...okay, okay, I agree."

Mr. Takeda was overjoyed, "Really? I'm so grateful to Detective Mori."

Next, the uncle talked nonsense with Mr. Takeda for a few minutes, and then the group of people walked out of the room. In order to thank Uncle Maori for helping, he personally arranged a room for the uncle and the group.

Okino, Hattori and Conan share a room, so that no matter what happens, they can act immediately, and it also facilitates the exchange of information. As for the uncle... Okino arranged to share a room with Xiaolan and Ye

, after all, this is a puppet house known as Puppet Hill, and it is also nominally to protect the safety of girls.

Inside the house, three people sat together in a circle around the city, and Conan was the first to ask a question.

"Hattori, who are you, Mr. Takeda?"

"Well... I just know that he seems to be a distant relative of my mother, but I don't know the details." Hattori sneered, then stopped smiling, "It seems that Kudo, you have noticed it too."

"Yes." Conan nodded seriously, "This man's eyes changed obviously after hearing his uncle's name. You must have noticed this, Okino."

"Indeed, this person named Takeda should be hiding something. I think we can start with the person named Negishi."

"Yes, we still have too few clues at hand. It is necessary to inquire." Hattori suddenly snapped his fingers, "In my opinion, the person named Takeda Yoko is very good, so I chose her."

"Besides, the man named Robert is also very suspicious. What I'm curious about is why the two girls called him a murderer." Conan was puzzled.

"Who knows, maybe that guy actually killed someone before." Hattori guessed wildly.

Okino's lips twitched, "How is it possible? If he was really a murderer, those two girls wouldn't be alive now."

"Hehe~ I just said it casually."

Okino shook his head, then his face tightened, "Actually, what I care about more is the threatening letter."

When it came to the threatening letter, the smile on Hattori's face gradually disappeared and he nodded in agreement.

"According to the meaning of this threatening letter, the murderer should take the life of Takeda Shinichi, but judging from his behavior and attitude, it seems that... he doesn't care about it, which is very strange."

"In short, it is necessary to carefully investigate Takeda Shinichi, and it is best not to let him know about this matter."

In fact, there was one thing Okino didn't say, because the two of them would not believe it. Spider Fairy, Okino was very interested in whether this kind of monster really existed. Is it a legend made up by humans?
