Chapter 439 The Murder Begins

"Sorry, sorry."

The person blocking the truck was a blond and fair-skinned foreigner, tall and handsome, with a camera hanging around his neck. He touched his head and apologized, looking very embarrassed:

"My name is Robert Taylor. I am an American and a photographer who loves nature." His Japanese pronunciation is fluent, and there is no trace of a foreign accent.

Rob bent down and bowed: "I can apologize and compensate for my rude behavior just now, but can you take me to Shimo Takeda's house? I was so absorbed in taking photos of the natural scenery of this forest that I lost my way."

"You are also going to the Takeda family in Tottori Prefecture?"

Mouri Kogoro stopped blaming him and said loudly, "I am Tokyo's famous detective Moori Kogoro. I was entrusted by Mr. Takeda Shinichi to investigate a case there. His younger brother in the cockpit in front is here to pick us up. If you want to go, just go

Let’s get together.”

Robert, a young foreigner, got into the truck and asked curiously, "What happened to Mr. Takeda Shinichi's family? There didn't seem to be any cases when I came here three years ago."

"three years ago?"

Takeda Yusan, who was sitting in the cockpit and driving, replied with vague words: "The Spider Mansion at Puppet Peak is a cursed place. If you don't want to be cursed, it's best not to get close. Of course, this is just an outside rumor. But this place is indeed true.

Many murders occurred, and my eldest brother, the talented detective, came to investigate."

"Puppet Peak, Spider Mansion, Curse?"

Conan frowned slightly, feeling a haze of terror slowly coming over him. When he saw Chen Jun's eyes, they looked at each other, as if they sensed the suspicion in each other's eyes.

Takeda Yuzo took a puff of his cigarette and continued: "Foreign guest, I heard about you from my brother. When you were sick during the summer vacation, it was Misa who took care of you."

"Yes, so I came to thank her today for what happened three years ago." The foreigner had a sweet smile on his lips and asked, "How is Misa doing lately?"

Takeda Yuzo was silent for a long time and then said, "You will know when you get to the Takeda house."

There seemed to be something hidden. When the truck arrived at the Takeda family, the answer was revealed by Takeda Yoko, the second wife of the Takeda family: "Misa died three years ago."

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

Takeda Yoko 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 aloud: "Is it suicide? Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

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

"Why?" Mouri Kogoro asked when Chen Jun saw him, and he was not far behind.

Takeda Yoko shook his 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 Takeda Shinichi is the puppet master, and Mr. Negishi is responsible for sales and transportation. The two of them have a very good relationship. But a few days ago, Mr. Negishi took advantage of our family's absence.

When I was there, I secretly hanged myself in the storage room."

"Three lives? Consecutive murders?"

Chen Jun asked: "What was the specific time of Mr. Gen's death? Who was the first to discover the body? Where is the body now?"

Takeda Yoko said: "Three days ago, the specific time we found it was about 9 a.m., and it was discovered by my elder brother Takeda Shinichi. The body was taken to Kyoto by his family. It should be incinerated or buried now.

."

In terms of time, it is impossible for Chen Jun to go all the way to Kyoto to dissect and analyze the body, nor can he ask the Takeda family to dig out Misa from the ground three years ago. It was too offensive and he would be beaten to death. Moreover, three years later, the body

It has long been reduced to bones, and it is difficult to find clues of higher value.

He is not in a hurry now, after all, the Death God student has just arrived, and there will definitely be a new murder.

It's just that it's a good thing to stop the murderer in the dark and save a life before that happens. Unfortunately, there are no clues now.

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

"Mr. Mori, I guess Mr. Negishi was killed by a member of my family. Yes, the murderer should be a member of my family. I hope that after you find out, you will only tell me one person, and I will handle the rest."

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

Conan also had his own tricks. Taking advantage of the 6-year-old's body and no one paying attention, Conan sneaked to the corner and listened clearly. After listening, he looked at Chen Jun with a somewhat proud look.

After finishing 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 express my gratitude for what happened three years ago."

Takeda Shinichi: "You are too polite. It just so happens that my nieces Sae and Emi are here. You guys had a good time before."

Two little twin girls who were slightly taller than Conan stood at the feet of Takeda Shinichi. The foreigner Rob bowed and said with a smile, "Sae, Emi, how are you?"

I saw two twin lolita staring at Rob and saying coldly: "The murderer!"

"It's killing again, it's happening again, it's scary." The two twin lolita looked at each other and immediately ran back crying, "Wow, mom is so scary."

Rob was so embarrassed that his head was covered with black lines. Then he said with a sad smile: "Three years ago when I was a traveling companion, I was hit by a mudslide at Puppet Peak, but luckily I was rescued by Misa. She took care of me for a long time, and we were at Takeda's house.

We got along very happily, and I think that period was the happiest time in my life. We met to see each other again, but when I came to Takeda's house, I discovered that she had hanged herself three years ago."

A dusty past seems to hide a beautiful love affair.

Takeda Yoko and other Takeda family members all sighed. Xiaolan remembered a person who had left inexplicably. After learning the reason for the incident, no one asked any more questions.

Next, Takeda Ryuuji, the younger brother of Takeda Shinichi, arrived. He was a handsome and decent middle-aged man who was talkative. He arranged rooms for Chen Jun, Conan, Mouri Kogoro, Rob and others.

In the evening, there was a dinner prepared early by the Takeda family.

Mouri Kogoro and the Takeda brothers Takeda Shinichi, Takeda Ryuji, and Takeda Yuzo drank and drank together, and the maid served Tottori Prefecture's special yellow croaker delicacies in sequence.

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

Takeda Yoko said: "Don't make trouble, I bought it according to the number of people. Mom has one here. It has many yellow croaker spines, enough for you to share equally."

"No, we each want one."

"I have one here for you." Yukiho leaned next to Takeda Yoko and handed the yellow croaker on his plate to the two little girls.

"Thank you, sister." the two little lolita shouted happily.

After a small interlude, Chen Jun handed the yellow croaker on the table to Xuesui's table, "I don't like eating fish because it has many thorns."

Xiaolan saw it and was filled with envy.

After the dinner, the maid came to clean up the mess. Takeda Shinichi stood up and said: "I'm going to make a puppet. As for the case, I leave it to you, Mr. Mori."

Mouri Kogoro was still drinking, along with Takeda Ryuji and Takeda Yuzo, his face flushed.

The others did not drink, and Robo's dishes were almost untouched. He stood up and asked Takeda Yuzo, who had the car key, "Can you lend me the car key? I want to pay homage to Sammy's grave."

Xuesui stood up and said, "It's so late at night. The stars in the sky outside the door must be very beautiful. Can you take me with you? Does Xiaolan want to come with you?"

"Okay, let's go together." Xiaolan raised her hand excitedly and looked at Chen Jun, "Brother, won't we come together?"

"No, you can go ahead."

"Leave him alone, he is probably still thinking about things." Xuesui huffed and pulled Xiaolan away.

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

"Big brother, won't you go with sister Xuesui?"

"She has her plan, I have my plan, and the little devil, what do you see? I feel like you don't look like a primary school student. Your investigative look is much more professional than your uncle Mouri Kogoro. Will you?

What identity will be hidden?"

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

Conan's whole body tensed up, a few drops of cold sweat ran down his face, and he said anxiously: "Where is it? Where is it? Brother, stop talking nonsense."

"Brother, what did you see?" Conan quickly changed the subject.

"Forensic doctors make inferences based on facts. Nothing has happened so far."

"But, there are a lot of suspicious things. The mysterious and weird Takeda Shinichi, those two little girls, and the old lady Takeda who is hiding in her room and not going out. It's very interesting to recite Buddhist scriptures."

"Mr. Shinichi!"

"Brother Xin!"

"Brother Xin!"

Suddenly, the maid and Takeda Ryuuji and Takeda Yuzo's calls came from outside the door. Conan's expression changed and he and Chen Jun immediately ran out of the door.

"What's going on? What happened?"

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

"Puppet Warehouse!"

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

Conan also ran away. When the Takeda family members heard this, they felt a deep chill in their hearts. They followed the two men and ran over. They saw that the warehouse door on the second floor was locked tightly.

Conan yelled: "It's locked inside, bring me the axe."

"No."

Chen Jun said calmly, stood outside the wooden door, and kicked it fiercely. The wooden door was kicked open instantly.

Inside is a scene that looks extremely terrifying.

I saw Takeda Shinichi, who entrusted Mouri Kogoro to investigate the murder case, his body was wrapped with network cables, hanging from the beam, his eyes widened, and his long tongue sticking out.

Look directly at everyone.

Everyone in the Takeda family, including Conan, took a deep breath.
