Tom Cat breaks through the dimensional wall
Chapter 396: Tottori Spider House Murder Case (Monthly ticket plus 6,000 words)
"What?"
Hui Yuan Ai also walked downstairs at this time, saw Tang Mu sitting behind the desk reading letters, and asked casually.
"Meow~"
Tom Mu happily jumped up from his seat, danced towards Hui Yuan Ai, and then handed the commission letter and the large amount of yen that came with the letter to Xiao Ai.
Xiao Ai ignored the entrustment letter, took the money first, counted it a little, and said: "A total of five hundred thousand yen, which is quite a lot."
After this period of life, Xiao Ai already knows the importance of income.
After putting down the pile of yen, Xiao Ai picked up the letter of entrustment and read it seriously. She frowned at it and said again.
"Are you ready to accept this commission?"
"Uh-huh!"
Tom put his hands on his hips and nodded happily.
It's been a while since I traveled back in time, and now I'm finally getting some treatment that a good detective deserves. Of course, Tom Mu has to accept it.
After hearing this, Hui Yuan Ai looked at the unclear entrustment letter again, then put away the money and the entrustment letter, nodded and said: "Let's eat first, the entrustment time is tomorrow, we will set off then."
Seeing that Haiyuan Ai didn't refuse, Tang Mu gave a thumbs up happily.
The next day...
Tottori Prefecture·Puppet Ridge.
4pm.
"Uncle, are you sure this is the right way to go? We have just gone around in a circle. If you can't, we can ask the locals."
On the country road, a dusty black car was driving slowly.
Haiyuan Ai in the back seat crossed his arms and looked sideways at Mu Mu Thirteen in the driver's seat.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I haven't been here for more than ten years. It must be right this time."
Officer Memu, who has a broad heart and a fat body and wears an orange hat, laughs to hide his embarrassment.
In order not to take the wrong road again, he drove the car very slowly and looked at the surroundings with his eyes from time to time.
When they first met, she didn't think so. After spending time together, Officer Memu realized that the little girl Haibara Ai was really a vicious-tongued girl who was not easy to get along with.
But like Tom Mu, Officer Memu can also see that this is a means of self-protection for the little girl.
Officer Megure's current unit is the Violent Crime Investigation Section 3 of the Criminal Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department, and his police title is the Police Department.
Today is Saturday, the day specified in the power of attorney.
Originally, Tang Mu only planned to go up the mountain with Huihara Ai.
Anyway, they have skateboards and twisters, although this way of showing off may not be that serious.
But Officer Megure, who happened to be on vacation during this time, came to visit. Seeing that he had nothing to do, Tom invited him to go to Tottori Prefecture with him.
In fact, Tom Mu just wanted to find a driver.
After all, before setting off, Officer Memu assured him that he was very familiar with the terrain there and there was no need to ask for directions.
In the end, Tang Mu also believed his evil deeds and had to go around the Puppet Ridge several times before he found the road to the mountain.
But for now, it seems that there should be no problem.
"Meow~"
Seeing that the unreliable Officer Mu Mu finally found the right path, Tang Mu turned to look at Haibara Ai beside him and called out softly to express his concern.
This kid took the car without eating and on an empty stomach. As a result, he drove all the way here, and it was still difficult to walk on the mountainous road. It was really uncomfortable to get motion sickness.
Fortunately, they bought some motion sickness medicine and took some bread along the way. They don't know what the situation is now.
Hearing Tang Mu's voice, Hui Yuan Ai nodded.
"Much better."
Hui Yuan Ai's small body leaned against the car seat, her voice still a little weak.
"Haha! There must be no problem. You were very energetic just now."
Officer Memu, who was driving, turned around and looked at Haihara Ai in the back seat, looking like a kind uncle, which made Xiao Ai roll her eyes speechlessly.
He knew that Officer Megure was talking about something he complained about.
But I can't blame Xiao Ai for being a little resentful.
It's no wonder that Officer Memu suddenly paid a visit and disrupted their rhythm.
The commission letter also has a time limit, so you have to rush to the scene early, otherwise you can't miss a meal.
"squeak--!"
At this moment, Officer Memu, who was smiling and turning back, was startled, and reflexively stepped on the brakes!
"bump!"
Tom Mu, who didn't check, was thrown directly to the windshield in front of him by the sudden stop.
The whole cat is directly attached to it.
But it didn't matter that Officer Mu Mu and Xiao Ai were wearing seat belts.
Although it was because he was not used to wearing a seat belt when he was sitting in the back seat, Tom Mu still felt a little angry.
First he glared at Officer Megu, then followed Megu's gaze and looked out the car window.
It turned out that a foreigner dressed as a mountaineer appeared right next to the road.
Officer Megu lowered the car window, and the foreigner immediately came up to him with a kind smile: "Hello, my name is Rob Taylor, and I am an American. I am a photographer who loves nature, and I came here specially for you. Came to take pictures of this nostalgic place.”
"I have been here before, and Ms. Takeda took great care of me at that time, so I want to go and see it again. It's just that I haven't been here for a long time, so I'm a little lost. Do you know how to get to the Takeda house?"
This foreigner who suddenly appeared was like reading from a manuscript, and he spoke a lot.
This made the two people in the car and the cat a little confused.
Originally, Tom Mu wanted to continue to get angry.
Behind him, Hui Yuan Ai stretched out his hands to hug Tang Mu back. Tang Mu suddenly felt angry and had nowhere to vent his anger.
However, after Officer Memu reacted, he immediately shouted happily after hearing Taylor's question: "Look! Haha! He hasn't been here for a long time and he doesn't remember the way. It's normal for me not to remember the way before."
Haibara Ai rolled her eyes and ignored Officer Megure. Instead, she looked at the blond foreigner outside the car and asked calmly: "Do you want to go to Takeda's house?"
"Yes." Taylor looked at Hui Yuan Ai in the back row with a sunny smile on his face.
"That's just right. We are going to Takeda's house too. If you don't mind, get in the car and we can take you with us."
Officer Memu extended an invitation to Taylor. As a criminal police officer with a full sense of justice, he was quite willing to help others.
"Thank you so much! It really helps!"
Taylor bowed to Officer Megure, opened the door and got into the back seat.
After sitting down, Taylor said hello to Haihara Ai in a friendly manner: "Hello, little sister, is this your cat? It's so cute."
But Haihara Ai just glanced at him and remained expressionless without saying a word, which made Taylor a little embarrassed.
As if to break the awkward atmosphere in the car, Officer Memu, who had restarted the car, familiarly introduced the people in the car to Taylor.
"The little sister next to you is called Haibara Ai. Even though she is so young, she is a famous genius detective in Tokyo. That cat is Tom. My name is Megure Shisan. I am a detective. Nice to meet you. "
Officer Memu said, nodding slightly to Taylor through the rearview mirror.
Although there was no warm smile on Megure's face, his attitude was undoubtedly excellent.
"Xing... detective?"
Taylor's sunny smile froze for a moment, but he quickly covered it up.
Mumu Shisan didn't find anything wrong. After all, criminal police is indeed a rather special profession for ordinary people.
Every time he introduced himself to strangers, he saw similar reactions.
Over time, I got used to it.
On the other hand, Hui Yuan Ai and Tom Mu in her arms were staring at Taylor.
Not long after, as the vehicle went deeper into the forest, Tang Mu and the others finally saw several wooden buildings.
This is the Takeda family mentioned in the commission letter.
At this time, a group of people were standing in front of Takeda's house, talking.
It seemed that they were not here to greet Tom Mu and the others.
Mu Mu's car stopped in the open space in front of the yard, and Tang Mu and his party got out of the car.
Seeing the people coming from their side, the Takeda family also cast their eyes in this direction.
Among them was a tall, thin man with a mustache who also frowned and looked over.
He was looking at them with a scrutinizing gaze.
Anyway, Tang Mu and Haihara Ai didn't like this kind of look.
Xiao Ai was not afraid of him and stared back coldly.
Tang Mu, who was lying on Xiao Ai's shoulder, bared his teeth in a threatening manner at the mustached man.
Seeing this reaction from Tang Mu and Xiao Ai, the man with the mustache also frowned and snorted in dissatisfaction!
"Oh! It's Rob! You're here too."
Takeda Yoko, the second wife of the Takeda family, said hello to Rob Taylor.
"Hello everyone, I'm here to see Miss Meisha. I was kindly taken care of three years ago."
Like a true Japanese, Taylor bowed to everyone in the courtyard.
"Misha..."
Speaking of this, everyone present stopped talking as if they had been tapped on their acupoints, and their expressions were not very good.
This kind of atmosphere in the field can make people think of many bad things at once.
The smile on Taylor's face gradually faded as he asked.
At this time, it was the second wife Takeda Yoko who continued to speak: "Misha, she passed away shortly after you left three years ago..."
"What! Miss Mesa died three years ago?!"
Rob Taylor seemed to be unable to accept this sudden bad news. He froze on the spot and stammered: "How, how could this happen?"
"About two or three days after you left, she hanged herself on the second floor of the puppet house."
Takeda Yoko said with a dark expression.
The man with a mustache on the side seemed to be very interested in this incident, and immediately said: "In other words, Miss Meisha committed suicide, right?"
"Yes."
Takeda Yoko nodded and added: "Not long after, my sister-in-law, Misa's mother, also hanged herself there."
Unexpectedly, just after arriving at the destination, such a heavy topic came up, and everyone was a little silent.
Tang Mu felt that the current situation finally felt like the beginning of a detective drama.
Moreover, the current situation, coupled with the entrusting letter from the gods, reminded Tom of a case in "Detective Conan".
The cat lay on Hui Yuan Ai's shoulder and thought.
Takeda Yoko's story was not over yet. She frowned slightly and sighed: "But the tragedy is not over yet."
"Just a few days ago, Mr. Negishi, who had always taken good care of my eldest brother, also hanged himself in the warehouse...it happened when all our family members were out."
Hearing this, Officer Memu, a criminal police officer, immediately couldn't sit still. He took a step forward and asked in a deep voice: "Did you call the police?"
"Well, we called the police immediately. The police came and said that Mr. Negishi committed suicide."
Takeda Yoko turned her head to look at Officer Megure. Although she didn't know this person, she came with Taylor after all. In addition, the Japanese character did not lose face and gave an answer immediately.
"Does Mr. Negishi often come to your house?"
The mustache man asked again. Facing this guy who always had a sense of presence, Tom couldn't help but cast a look at him again.
This man didn't seem to be a friend of the Takeda family. Instead, the way he asked questions was a bit like looking for clues.
The mustache man noticed the cat's gaze and scratched his cheek a little irritably, but he didn't look at Tom again.
Yoko Takeda knew the identity of the man with the mustache. When she heard the other party's question, she immediately answered in detail: "My eldest brother is a puppet master, and Mr. Negishi is engaged in the sales and transportation of puppets, so he often comes to our place for activities."
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as an office worker next to Yoko Takeda also spoke: "My eldest brother asked you to come here to find out about Mr. Negishi."
This office worker is Yoko Takeda's husband, Ryuji Takeda.
He is the second son of the Takeda family.
Ryuji Takeda said this to the man with the mustache.
It seems that the man with the mustache is indeed a detective.
This is interesting.
I didn't expect that there is a second detective here besides them.
And this detective looks much more orthodox than it and Xiao Ai.
After all, he was invited by the eldest son of the Takeda family.
And it and Xiao Ai received a commission letter of unknown origin, and they didn't even know who the client was.
Tang Mu thought, glanced at the mustache man, and then looked at Takeda Ryuji.
Then again, there is a problem with what Takeda Ryuji said.
Since the police have already judged it to be suicide, their eldest brother asked the detective to investigate, which shows that their eldest brother actually does not believe in the judgment of suicide.
So, on what basis did their eldest brother make this judgment?
Since he had this judgment, why didn't he tell the police, but chose to seek the help of the detective.
Is it because he doesn't trust the police, or is there something that he can't tell the police?
Tang Mu looked at everyone around him, his eyes swept across their faces one by one, and at the same time began to dig out the memories in his mind.
Tottori Prefecture·Kuilei Ridge.
The case they encountered should be the [Tottori Spider House Murder Case], no doubt.
Like ordinary people, Tang Mu can only remember a rough outline of things he has seen for a long time, but can't remember the details.
He can only recall it again by searching for keywords in his mind.
In this way, Tang Mu clearly remembered all the details of the case.
Naturally, he now knows who the real murderer is.
To be honest, at this moment, Tang Mu would rather not have watched Detective Conan.
After all, the case has just begun, and he already knows the real murderer.
This is very boring.
However, Tang Mu's identity in this world is a detective cat after all.
Even if the real murderer is already known, it still has to assist Xiao Ai in solving the case, discover clues step by step, and then find the real murderer.
Just think of it as playing a script killing game.
Moreover, although Tang Mu has read the script, Huiyuan Ai knows nothing about it.
After this period of detective career, Xiao Ai has also become interested in this detective game.
I just think of it as playing with Xiao Ai.
Apart from anything else, after solving the case, Tang Mu still enjoyed Xiao Ai's admiring eyes.
Another point is that this commission is the first big commission received by their Gray Cat Detective Agency. They must seize the opportunity and build a good reputation.
As for the problem of letting the murderer go even though they know the murderer.
Well, Tang Mu admits that he is a bit double-standard.
If it is another case, it will be fine.
But this case is different from other cases!
Those who died were people who deserved to die. Drug trafficking is something that cannot be forgiven in any case.
If he met a good person, Tom would still save him.
After all, he has a very flexible moral bottom line.
It can fluctuate according to the situation.
Although Tom has always seemed to be doing good things in the eyes of ordinary people.
But Tom really doesn't think he is a good person with boundless love in the traditional sense.
This can be seen from Tom's previous travel.
Tom is just an ordinary citizen with normal values and his own selfishness.
Tom Cat has such a powerful power, and only when it is placed on people with Tom's mentality, can he be responsible for the safety of the lives of all beings in the world.
Tom has recalled this case in his mind.
The man with a mustache also finished talking to the second son of the Takeda family.
"Please rest assured, I, Mitsunaga Mokuta, am a famous detective in Kyoto, and I guarantee that I can solve this case for you."
The man with a mustache, Mitsunaga Mokuta, made a confident promise.
As he spoke, he looked at Huiyuan Ai with disdain and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are also a detective, right? The genius elementary school student detective who has suddenly become famous recently?"
"Ha! Elementary school student detective! I find it ridiculous to say that."
"Little sister, forget about looking for cats and dogs. Don't dare to play your detective game here. This is irresponsible to the case and the people involved in the case!"
After saying these words, Mitsunaga Hyouta looked at Takeda Ryuuji again and said: "Mr. Takeda, I am not used to investigating cases with other people. They tend to destroy my ideas."
"Some unscrupulous rookies will even destroy certain traces of the case at the scene. Since you have already invited me, you should trust me instead of inviting another detective."
"And he is such a playful primary school student detective. This is really ridiculous. I have been a detective for so many years, but I have never seen a primary school student who can also be a detective. I'm afraid he can't even add, subtract, multiply and divide within a hundred. good."
After listening to Mitsunaga Hyouta's words, Takeda Ryuuji also stayed for a while, looking at the proud Mitsunaga Hyouta, and then at the expressionless Haibara Ai.
Takeda Ryuji obviously didn't expect that this strange little girl was also a detective!
To be honest, Takeda Ryuji is a little angry now.
Such a big thing happened in the Takeda family, and a child came to join in the fun, which made him feel very irritable.
Just like Mitsunaga Momota said, this is simply nonsense!
But in the end Takeda Ryuji took a deep breath and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Then he glanced at Officer Memu, then looked at Haibara Ai and asked: "I'm sorry, we don't seem to have invited the second detective. If you are just here for fun, please leave."
Huihara Ai didn't speak.
Of course she could see that the adults present did not trust her to solve the case, but just treated it as a child's play.
But this is not important, Hui Yuan Ai believes in Tang Mu's ability.
It would definitely solve the case before that annoying mustached man.
As a member of Haimao, Haihara Ai also knows that this case is very important for Haimao to become famous.
Therefore, the expressionless Haibara Ai took out the commission letter from his backpack and handed it directly to Takeda Ryuji.
Seeing that the other party took the letter with a puzzled look and began to look at it, he continued to say calmly: "This is the commission letter we received yesterday.
"It says inside, 'Please be sure to get to the Takeda family in Tottori Prefecture, Golem Ridge before the sun goes down next Saturday. Otherwise, a living puppet will be killed by a spider again.'"
"In addition to this commission letter, we also received a commission fee."
"That's true."
Takeda Ryuuji took the letter and glanced at it, but considering the age of the little girl in front of him, he still asked with some suspicion: "Is it a prank or something?"
Officer Megu next to him finally couldn't stand it anymore and directly showed his police officer ID card to endorse Haihara Ai and said: "I know what you are worried about, but I guarantee in the name of the police that Xiao Ai is definitely an outstanding officer. Detective."
Unexpectedly, Megure Thirteen turned out to be a criminal policeman. Takeda Ryuuji suddenly smiled awkwardly, and then returned the letter to Haibara Ai, and then said with some confusion: "This is strange, in the end it will be Who sent the letter?"
"What happened to the spider in that letter? Is there anything else you haven't told me?"
Mitsunaga asked with a frown. As a detective, he quickly grasped the key.
"This is indeed the case." Yuzo Takeda, the third of the three Takeda brothers who had driven to pick up Mitsunaga Hyakutayama, said:
"In the past few years, unfortunate things have often happened to our family, so people here have nicknamed us the Spider House of Puppet Ridge."
"If you don't want to be cursed, it's best not to get too close to us."
"Is this what happened?"
This was the first time Officer Megure had heard of such a thing, and he nodded immediately.
At this moment, Takeda Shinichi, the eldest brother of the Takeda family, finally walked out.
This was a middle-aged man with a beard and chin beard. As soon as he appeared, he smiled and greeted Mitsunaga Momota:
"Hello, Detective Mitsunaga, I am the one who invites you this time. The eldest son of my family, Takeda Shinichi. I'm really sorry to ask you to come all the way."
Seeing that the real owner was here, Mitsunaga Momota smiled and came forward. He raised his head proudly and said, "Thanks to your trust, I will definitely investigate this case for you."
Seeing Mitsunaga Momota approaching, Takeda Shinichi put his arms around Mitsunaga Momota's neck, deliberately staying away from the crowd, and the two of them gathered together to whisper.
This move immediately made Tang Mu, who had been paying attention to them, raise his eyebrows.
