Because Mr. Takeda Shinichi turned into a dead pig under the influence of alcohol, the trio of detective and forensic children were able to rest for several hours. It was not until just before dinner that the dead pig was finally scalded to death with boiling water.

After receiving the notice, the trio scolded this guy countless times in their hearts, and then walked to Mr. Takeda's room with smiles on their faces.

"Please come in."

"sorry for disturbance."

"Hey, what's the matter with you guys?" Mr. Takeda huffed, his body swaying when he sat up straight, and he huffed from time to time. It seemed that the dead pig sleeping method just now did not work as it should.

Effect.

Takeda Shinichi: Damn it, I knew this sleeping position wouldn’t work. It seems like I’ll switch to the alpaca sleeping position next time.

"Well...it's like this. We are very interested in the puppets you made, Uncle Takeda, and would like to come over and have a look, haha~~" Hattori really didn't want to say this, but he couldn't help but he was the only one among the three who could get involved with the other party.

It's related, so...that's what happened.

"Oh, you want to see my puppets." As soon as he heard about the puppets, Mr. Takeda immediately became energetic and said, "No problem, I'll show it to you right now."

Hattori blinked and looked at the two people beside him with a blank expression, as if to say: This is too easy.

Okino and Conan were both speechless, none of the words they had prepared were used in the end.

Soon, Mr. Takeda sat down again with a box the size of a basketball.

"Look, this is the puppet I made." He opened it and placed an exquisite female puppet inside.

Hattori took the puppet and looked at it curiously. Okino and Conan also cast curious glances.

"Mr. Takeda, let me take the liberty of asking how much this puppet can be sold for."

"About twenty to thirty thousand yen." Mr. Takeda generously stated the price, and judging from the smile on his face, he seemed quite proud.

"Twenty...Twenty to thirty thousand, really..." Hattori's hand shook, and the puppet fell away. Fortunately, Conan reacted quickly and caught the falling puppet in time.

"Huh, it's so dangerous." Conan breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to glare at Hattori, "I'm telling you, can you be careful? If it breaks, we won't be able to afford it."

"Haha, haha, I didn't mean it." Hattori was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, but in a blink of an eye, he thought, why are he so nervous? A rich man is sitting next to him now, how scared he is!

However, at this moment, Hattori's ears suddenly heard an emotionless voice.

"I said...are you thinking of something bad?"

"shrimp!"

"Tsk, if you break this puppet, don't come to me."

Hattori's face froze, he laughed sarcastically, and said "I can't, I can't," but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: What did this guy do? Does his sixth sense have such a strong sense?

"Okay, okay, my puppets are not that fragile. On the contrary, every puppet I make is a masterpiece of top quality." Mr. Takeda said with a smile.

Hattori didn't know how to answer, so he just kept saying 'yes'.

"Hattori, lend me the puppet."

"Oh, here you go."

After taking the puppet, Okino played with it curiously. He looked at the material of the puppet and felt its weight. It seemed to be no different from ordinary puppets.

‘Is there really no problem?’ Okino couldn’t help but mutter in his mind, but just to be on the safe side, Okino released a little bit of magic power and secretly surrounded the puppet.

‘This is this!?’ The moment the magic power covered the puppet, Okino’s eyes twitched and he was horrified, because this puppet... turned out to be hollow.

The interior of the puppet is hollow, which cannot be concealed from Okino's perception at all. And not only that, there is a small bag inside the hollow interior of the puppet, which contains something like medicine, and this medicine was used by Okino some time ago.

I happened to see it, it’s illegal drugs!

'No wonder such a small puppet is sold so expensive, so that's how it is!' A flash of understanding flashed in Okino's eyes, but his expression was still the same as before, showing only a little curiosity.

"Mr. Takeda, this is really an exquisite puppet." Okino handed the puppet back to Mr. Takeda without forgetting to praise.

"Yes, yes, I heard from Ms. Yoko that Mr. Takeda also seems to be able to make large puppets."

Okino's comments and expressions seemed to be of great benefit to him, so he agreed to his request without even thinking about it. When he got up, he didn't forget to show off himself.

"Haha, okay, okay, but after all, the only one here who can make such large puppets is Takeda Shinichi, haha~~~"

Hattori's face darkened and he thought to himself: What a narcissistic uncle. Is this kind of person really a distant relative of my mother?

Conan frowned: Did this guy discover something?

"Okino?"

"Shh, we'll talk about everything after we get out." Okino shook his head gently, indicating that Conan would talk about it later if he had anything to do.

Conan understood, nodded and remained silent.

At this moment, Mr. Takeda also took the puppet box, which was as tall as a person, out of the cabinet, placed it on the wall and opened the lid. At the same time, Mr. Takeda's confident and proud voice also sounded.

"This is my most satisfying work. I named it Spider Fairy."

"Spider Fairy?" The three of them were very curious about the image of this puppet and couldn't help but look towards the wall.

This is a female puppet about one person tall. She wears a white kimono and has long black hair. As for her face, it seems to be painted with a unique neon white makeup. At least in Okino's eyes, this is a doll with thick paint.

It was just wood with thick foundation. But what surprised Okino was that there seemed to be... something behind this puppet.

Conan and Hattori also discovered this.

"Uncle, is the one behind the puppet...?"

"Oh, you said that, it's spider legs. Spider legs."

"Spider legs? These are so... so beautiful." Hattori twitched the corner of his mouth, and what was originally a truth suddenly turned into a compliment.

Conan's expression was also a little subtle. It was obvious that he didn't like this puppet very much, but... Okino on the side subconsciously squinted his eyes, because there was indeed a large amount of illegal drugs hidden inside this puppet as tall as one person. No wonder

Such a large puppet can be sold for more than one million yuan.

At this time, all the mysteries were solved, and Mr. Negishi's death seemed to be coming to light.

After that, the three of them said their goodbyes after a few more polite words.

outside the house

As soon as they left the room, Conan's confident voice floated in their ears.

"Tell me Okino, what exactly did you find?"

"Why, you two detectives didn't notice it at all?" Okino gave it a try and looked at Hattori and Conan with a smile.

"Hey, how do I know? I still don't understand what's so good about puppets. You think so too, right Kudo."

"Haha, it feels very subtle."

"Well, it seems that I, the forensic doctor, won this time, but who made me a forensic doctor? If I hadn't discovered it, it would have been even less possible for the two of you."

"Emmmm...what a disgusting tone." Hattori's teeth seemed to be chattering.

Okino pretended not to hear, and continued teasing a few more words before bringing the topic back up.

"It's no wonder you didn't realize that there is nothing wrong with those puppets at first glance, but just because they are like this on the outside doesn't mean they are like this on the inside." Okino smiled pointedly.

"What do you mean?" As detectives, the two reacted quickly.

"Yes, I found that there is something hidden inside these two puppets, and this thing is likely to be illegal drugs."

"What, illegal drugs!"

Conan suddenly realized, "No wonder his puppets can be sold for so much money. They are actually cheating!"

"I think so, and I suspect that the murderer of Mr. Negishi was Mr. Takeda!"

"Hey, the possibility is really high." Hattori also calmed down, but then changed his voice, "Unfortunately, we have no evidence. Even if we discover their transaction, it doesn't mean it was a homicide.

Mr. Negishi."

Conan also thought of this and his face looked a little ugly.

Okino's heart has no fluctuations, but his favorability towards Mr. Takeda has dropped to zero. He originally wanted to protect his safety, but now it seems...it doesn't seem necessary. Even if he doesn't have his own protection, I believe it.
