Without my daughter supervising, this is the effect, I can’t stop at all!
"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Maori likes our Takeda family's specialty medicinal wine very much. At first I was worried that you would not be used to it."
Takeda Shinichi was also an alcoholic. When he discovered that Mori Kogoro was the same type of person as him, he became interested and began to tell the origin of this sake.
"There have been rumors of spider monsters in our Puppet Ridge for hundreds of years. One of the reasons is that there are so many spiders here. Mr. Maori, please guess what I put in this medicinal wine.
Just a reminder, this is a very tonic substance! It can improve sexual function, dredge blood circulation, and strengthen tendons and bones."
Kogoro Mori nodded frequently at first, but when Shinichi Takeda suddenly mentioned the spider, he suddenly froze.
He was a famous detective. Although he had drunk a lot, his thinking was still clear. He lowered his head to look at the yellow-brown wine in the glass. There was something like a tea branch precipitated under the wine.
At first I thought it might be some kind of herb, but now after looking at it carefully, I suddenly realized that it looks more and more like a spider's leg!
Kogoro Mori suddenly felt dizzy, and the dead grandmother seemed to be reflected in the cup and smiling at him.
"It should be a spider medicine bar. I just saw that there are a lot of spider remains in the bottle." Natsukawa answered for Maori Kogoro with a smile. That's why he didn't even touch a glass.
Snake wine is already scary enough, and soaking spiders in wine, even if they are non-venomous spiders, is still disgusting to think about.
This is indeed a country that regards feces as a delicacy, and the research on cooking has reached an appalling level.
"That's right - but we can't call it debris, we call it medicine residue. When you drink it, the residue can also be swallowed together, and the effect is also good!"
The three Takeda brothers nodded in unison, as if soaking spiders in wine was a very normal thing. Not only that, there was even a hint of pride in their expressions.
Takeda Shinichi smiled and said, "Spider medicinal wine is not only delicious, but also very good for the body. Mr. Maori, please don't be polite. Put other things aside and drink to your heart's content tonight!"
“Is that so…?”
Kogoro Mori gradually became dazzled. He not only saw his grandmother, but also felt that his grandfather was slowly appearing in the cup.
In the cup, the faces of the great-grandfather and the great-grandmother appeared alternately, and finally rotated and twisted and gradually merged together, turning into a hideous eight-eyed spider.
The feeling of dizziness and drunkenness instantly broke through the detective's inner defenses.
boom!
Kogoro Mouri's face almost hit the bowl in front of him, but Natsukawa was quick to help take it away, so that the bowl only hit the table.
"Uncle Mori must have just drunk too much. Let him sleep for a while." Natsukawa explained with a smile. It was impossible to say that Kogoro Mori fainted because of the fear of spider sake.
It's cheap, and rude.
The three Takeda brothers nodded indifferently.
Not long after, Takeda Shinichi stood up.
"Okay, the paint should be dry by this point. There's still one puppet that's not finished for delivery tomorrow. I'll go to the studio and finish the last step on the puppet."
Takeda Shinichi's face turned red. He stood up unsteadily and walked out the door.
"I think we should stop here today. We can continue tomorrow if you want."
Ryuji Takeda stood up and rubbed his eyebrows. Although he drank Spider Sake all year round, he really drank a lot this time and he should really stop.
"Okay, I'll go back and wash my face. Big brother will need my help later."
"Then please help yourselves. Sae and Emi should take a bath. Dad will go get some more firewood for you."
"Yeah" ×2
After watching them leave, the only ones left at the scene were the fainted detective, Conan, Hattori and Natsukawa.
"The letter I received said that there would be another murder tonight, but now it seems that the Takeda family seems to be enjoying themselves, and it doesn't seem like a case is going to happen."
"don't know."
Ever since Robert Taylor was not the murderer, Xia Chuan has been a little confused. He has to wait for further developments to find out what will happen.
His goal was to investigate the murderer who killed Meisha and her daughter three years ago, so it didn't seem so important whether anyone died now.
Instead, if you let it develop, it might help you investigate old cases.
Although I thought so, I couldn't just give up completely when facing two famous detectives.
"I just asked the housekeeper, Ms. Iwaya, and she said that the head of the family is in charge of the family finances and grocery shopping. If you were invited by Takeda Shinichi, he should be short of four saury. Since he didn't include you, it's very likely that the person who invited you was not him."
"It's not a bad idea to exclude one person who might invite you."
Similarly, it can be seen from this that Robert Taylor did not come here early and did not contact his father-in-law early to prepare for revenge.
This makes it unclear who the murderer is.
"I heard that the three brothers have a mother. Do you think it could be their mother?" Conan did not miss any possibility, including the seventy-year-old grandmother who was almost as tall as him.
Hattori was stunned and shook his head: "If it was her, I have been here for such a long time, she should come to find me, right?"
"Should we focus on Uncle Maori first?"
Natsukawa looked down at the famous detective on the tatami.
Due to the shock and drunkenness, I don’t know how long he will be unconscious.
Conan rolled his eyes, "Sleep for a while and you'll wake up naturally after the alcohol wears off."
"By the way, is Robert Taylor reliable?" Conan suddenly felt a little worried that it was not safe for three girls to go up the mountain with a foreigner at night.
"Didn't you give your phone number to Xiaolan? You'll contact me if you have any questions." Xia Chuan raised his phone.
"No, I have to call and ask."
Conan was still worried and grabbed the phone.
A minute later, Conan, who was already worried, felt his heart sink to the bottom.
"Didn't get through?"
Hattori's face suddenly changed. His childhood sweetheart was also there!
"Don't worry, Xiaolan and Kazuha are not easy to bully." Xiachuan waved his hand. "After all, Dr. Agasa's small phone is small and not fully functional. It is normal for it to fail because it is too far away from the signal tower. Don't you see where we are? Even mobile phone signals are not very good, let alone that little thing."
The two famous detectives were obviously worried and felt relieved after hearing these words.
"Have you seen my eldest brother?"
The sound came from outside the door, interrupting the conversation of the three people.
It's Takeda Yuzo.
"Mr. Takeda Shinichi is missing?"
In the world of science, missing persons = death.
Xia Chuan knew without even thinking about it that the other person was probably dead, and thought that the deceased would be replaced by someone else, but he didn't expect it to be him again!
What bad luck.
"Isn't he in the studio?" Conan asked.
"No."
"Is the warehouse there?" Hattori had a bad feeling. Could it be that the contents of the letter had become a reality? Someone really had an accident, and it was Takeda Shinichi, the head of the Takeda family.
"It's not in the warehouse. I've already looked for it."
"What about the second floor? As far as I know, the previous victims were..."
Before Conan could finish his words, Xiachuan had already stepped out.
"Brother Xiachuan, where are you going?"
"Second floor of the warehouse!"
The two famous detectives felt depressed.
The warehouse was less than twenty meters away from the gate, and the gate was open. I don't know if it was because Takeda Yuzo did not close it when he inspected it, so Natsukawa was not stopped at all.
I went up the stairs to the second floor and finally fixed my eyes on the only wooden door.
Hattori was a step late. He found that Natsukawa tried to twist the door handle to no avail, and hurriedly shouted to Takeda Yuzo who was following behind him: "Go get the tools to break the door."
"No need to bother!"
Xia Chuan expressionlessly kneeled the wooden door, causing it to slam loudly and wood chips to fly everywhere.
The handle had a hole in it and was creaking, as if it was crying because of the heavy blow.
Hattori was stunned. How could he prove whether this was a secret room or not if he did this?
Conan has long been accustomed to it and would pat Hattori on the shoulder from time to time. They have solved several cases together, so haven't you gotten used to it yet?
The two followed Xia Chuan into the room.
There are shelves on both sides of the room, a long aisle in the middle, and a wooden table in the middle of the aisle.
A hemp rope hung down from the beam, and Takeda Shinichi was hung up like a puppet, with white silk threads wrapped around his body. The threads were extremely messy, just like a marionette that had been rubbed by someone's hands.
He just hung above the wooden table like a pig waiting to be cooked.
Although he had already known from the Takeda family how Akiho Negishi died, Conan still couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw how Shinichi Takeda died.
"I'll call an ambulance right now!"
Takeda Yuzo's legs were trembling, but since it was not his first time experiencing this, he was mentally prepared and suppressed his fear.
"Just call the police."
Xia Chuan retracted his arms and took off his gloves. "His pupils are bloodshot, his neck is purple, and his tongue is completely hanging out. There's no hope."
"The door to the second floor was locked." Hattori checked the lock and confirmed, "The murderer could only leave through the air vent behind the body."
"But an adult can't get out through the air vent at all!" Takeda Yuzo's eyes were dull.
In the case a few days ago, the police also investigated this air vent, but it turned out that the air vent was not large enough for an adult to pass through.
"It must be the Spider Fairy! This must be the Spider Fairy's punishment for my brother destroying his temple! First it was my sister-in-law and Misa, a few days ago it was Negishi, and today it's my brother's turn..."
The more Takeda Yuzo spoke, the more frightened he became. His clenched fat hands were already sweating. As Takeda Shinichi's brother, he wouldn't have to...
Takeda Yuzo shuddered, not daring to think any further, and hurried downstairs to call the police.
"It's strange. If the crime happened three days ago, why is the wooden door on the second floor still intact?"
Conan was a little confused. The door was obviously locked, and someone must have broken in when Negishi died. So why did this door look so new now?
"The warehouse on the second floor is where the puppet materials are stored. It's a remote place, and the three of us were worried that someone would come and steal things, so we took down the door of the water boiler room and used it the next day."
The person who spoke was Takeda Ryuji, and his expression was very ugly.
"There was a lot of noise just now, so I came out to check the situation and happened to meet Yong San. He told me what happened."
Seeing Takeda Ryuji about to enter the house, Xia Chuan raised his hand to stop him: "Mr. Ryuji, please gather everyone to the living room and wait. We still have something to ask after we finish our investigation here."
"I see."
Watching Takeda Ryuji leave, Conan turned around and asked, "Uncle Natsukawa, do you think there is something wrong with Mr. Ryuji?"
"It's not that Mr. Ryuji has a problem. In fact, several people from the Takeda family are suspects. Gathering them together is to prevent them from acting alone and destroying certain evidence. And the fewer people there are at the scene, the more likely it is that the scene will not be destroyed a second time."
"Mr. Takeda Shinichi's body is still somewhat warm, so he should have died no more than 20 minutes ago. In other words, he was killed not long after Mr. Takeda Shinichi left."
"But we still can't identify the real culprit." Conan frowned and shook his head, "Not long after Takeda Shinichi left, the dinner party ended. Takeda Ryuji, Takeda Yuzo, Takeda Yoko and even the housekeeper Iwatani all had time to commit the crime."
The three of them checked it again carefully.
Xia Chuan carefully checked next to the air vent.
In the original plot, the murderer's method of killing had a lot to do with the air vent.
The main method was to use BB bullets to make a noise at the air vent, and then use a pre-prepared mechanism to strangle Takeda Shinichi, who had his head sticking out of the air vent.
The person who used this technique was Robert Taylor.
But the reality is: Robert Taylor went out an hour before Takeda Shinichi left, and his movements were always under the noses of Xiaolan and the other two, so he had no chance to come back and commit the crime.
After investigation, he did not find any marks of tying on the beams except for the hemp ropes, and there were no traces of tape residue around the air vents either.
The hemp rope looked more like someone had put it directly around Takeda Shinichi's neck and strangled him to death through brute force.
