Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

As soon as they reached the door, seven beautiful women as beautiful as fairies emerged from the cave.

When the seven beauties saw him, they were like seeing Tang Monk. In an instant, they pushed Zhou Gong away and swarmed around him.

"Don't worry, come one by one..."

The seven beauties refused to agree and started arguing over his whereabouts.

At first he felt very happy, but later on, the seven beauties tore off each other's skin, and long hairy spider legs broke out from their backs.

The fight gradually turned into a real fight, and soon spider legs were flying everywhere, with one hairy spider leg even hitting him in the face.

The green juice splashed and soon submerged him...

"do not want!"

Kogoro Mouri suddenly jumped up from the ground and vaguely felt something being blown away by him, followed by Conan's scream.

"It hurts!"

Conan covered his butt with his hands, looking confused, and wanted to throw the towel in his hand at Uncle Maori's horse face.

He was so kind-hearted that he put a wet towel on Uncle Maori's face to help him wake up faster, but he didn't expect that the first thing Uncle Maori did when he woke up was to throw him away!

"what happened?"

At this time, everyone gathered in the living room. Maori Kogoro looked around in confusion, "Where is Mr. Takeda Shinichi? Why did he run away before he finished drinking?"

His memory was still stuck on the moment before he fainted, and he had no idea that more than an hour had passed since the drinking party ended.

"Uncle Mori, Mr. Takeda Shinichi is dead." Hattori answered seriously.

"Dead, are you kidding me?"

Kogoro Mouri's already confused face became even more confused. He carefully observed Hattori's expression and found that when he said this, it didn't seem fake.

Turning to look at the others, their expressions were also very solemn. When they saw Conan, they gave an affirmative nod.

"How did he die? How long did I sleep?"

Maori Kogoro suddenly became serious, pulled his tie, and asked seriously: "Have you called the police?"

"You slept for about an hour. Takeda Shinichi died about forty-five to fifty minutes ago. The cause of death is the same as Mr. Negishi's. The police have been notified, but because of a landslide on the mountain road, the police will not be able to arrive until the road is cleared tomorrow."

Conan told everything in great detail, describing the entire case.

"Everyone, when did Mr. Takeda Shinichi die? Where were you all?"

Kogoro Mori fixed his eyes on several people from the Takeda family, including Takeda Chie, who had not been seen that night and was the mother of the three Takeda brothers.

Takeda Yuzo: "After my brother left, I went back to my room to wash my face within two minutes. When I finished washing my face and went to the studio to look for my brother, I found that he was not there. After that, I searched the whole house but couldn't find my brother, so I went to the living room to ask Mr. Xiachuan and others."

Takeda Ryuji: "Yoko happened to be taking Sae and Emi to take a bath at this time. I'm adding firewood to their fire in the boiler room."

Maori Kogoro turned to look at the housekeeper: "What about you?"

"Everyone had just finished eating at that time. I was in the kitchen cleaning up the dishes and preparing breakfast for tomorrow. If Mr. Yongsan hadn't come to ask, I wouldn't have known that Master Xinyi was missing.

Soon, Detective Hattori came to the kitchen to find me and asked me to bring the old lady to the living room. "

"Xiaolan and I went to the mountains to worship Misa. We just came back not long ago. Mr. Maori should know about this." Robert Taylor had a heavy accent and a strong nasal sound when he explained, but it did not affect others' understanding.

"Yes, Brother Carrot was with us all the way, and he caught a bunch of fireflies for Anya! He didn't have time to come back and commit crimes~" Anya came forward to explain.

Misunderstanding, all the previous ones were misunderstandings. I was misled by the twins. How could Brother Carrot be a bad person?

Just for helping her catch fireflies, it was worth her helping to prove it.

"Where's the old lady?"

Kogoro Mori had no intention of asking, so the person who asked was Natsukawa.

Although it is difficult for a 70-year-old lady to have the strength and ability to hang a person on the beam, this is the world of science after all, nothing is impossible, and it is always a good idea to be cautious.

The old lady lowered her eyebrows and spoke in a low voice: "I went to bed early, so I should have fallen asleep at that time. It was Iwaya who woke me up from behind, and then I learned about Shinichi's death."

The old lady looked back at the warehouse opposite, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "We told him not to demolish the temple all those years ago, but he refused to listen. Twenty-something... Hey, what happened three years ago is retribution. A few days ago, Negishi, who instigated him to start construction, also died. It must be the revenge of the Spider Fairy."

"What does twenty-something mean?"

Xia Chuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did anything happen more than 20 years ago?"

"No. Well, I'm too old to stay up late, so I'm going back to bed."

The old lady looked up and glanced at Xiachuan, then walked towards her room with the help of Iwaya.

"Why doesn't the old lady seem to care about her son's death?" Maori Kogoro crossed his legs and held his chin up. "Mr. Ryuji, Mr. Yuzo, are the old lady and Mr. Shinichi not on good terms?"

"I guess so!" Takeda Ryuji shook his head. "When my father died, my eldest brother, who inherited the puppet-making skills, immediately prepared to attack the temple that was originally in the warehouse. My mother and he had many arguments about this.

The temple was eventually demolished, and since then the relationship between my mother and my eldest brother has been very ordinary.

Apart from the fact that it was her grandparents who gave Meisha her name, she rarely talks to her eldest brother.

"Then what happened to Mr. Xinyi's wife and daughter three years ago? Was it suicide or homicide?" Xia Chuan asked.

"They should have committed suicide..."

"Second brother..."

Takeda Ryuji waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "It's already this time, I won't hide it from you guys."

"In fact, the reason why Meisha and her sister-in-law committed suicide three years ago had a lot to do with her brother! At that time, for some reason, her brother's attitude towards Meisha and her sister-in-law suddenly became very bad, and he often spoke ill of them.

Misa was exhausted by this, and Rob chose to leave at that time.

We all know how Misa feels about Rob. Perhaps it is because of the successive blows that Misa has suicidal tendencies.

Meisha's death had a very negative impact on my sister-in-law. She was absent-minded for several days and finally hanged herself in the warehouse."

"No way..." Robert Taylor's face was full of despair. He didn't expect that he had a "contribution" to his lover's death.

"But Misa clearly..."

"She's obviously very cheerful, right? She certainly didn't show anything in front of you, but perhaps it was this repression, coupled with your leaving, that was the last straw that broke the camel's back."

"And the letter from Brother Robert."

The twin sisters said in unison: "Brother Rob wrote in the letter that Sister Meisha should die!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Robert Taylor.

"???"

Robert Taylor was bewildered, he still remembered clearly what he had written, he was too happy about it to write such hurtful words.

"That's impossible. My feelings for Misa are absolutely true. Otherwise, there would be no need for me to come back three years later. It's because I couldn't let go of Misa that I ran all the way from Europe to Neon."

"But doesn't the English word 'Shi ne' mean to die?" The twins looked at each other.

The two little friends peeked at the contents of the letter while delivering it. Since it was in English, they couldn't understand most of it, but they still knew some sensitive words, and 'Shi ne' happened to be one of them.

"No, that word is 'shine', which means to shine." Robert Taylor further explained: "And I have written this word to Misa many times. She is the only light in my life, the brightest light. There is no way she cannot understand the meaning of this word!"

"Did you hand the envelope directly to Takeda Misa?" Natsukawa looked at the twins.

"When he came back, my uncle took it away. He said he would give it to my sister personally."

The twins' explanation made everyone frown. Takeda Shinichi was already dead, so there was no way to ask.

However, it can be seen from this that there is obviously a problem here.

Combined with Takeda Ryuji's previous statement, it is very likely that Takeda Shinichi was the one who tampered with the matter.

Maybe he threw the letter away, or forged a letter to torment Takeda Misa.

"But why?"

Hattori and Conan frowned together. They were clearly father and daughter, but why did it sound like they had a huge grudge against each other?

Why did Takeda Shinichi suddenly change his temperament and treat his own daughter like this?

"Assuming that the deaths of Miss Misa and Mrs. Kinuyo were related to Mr. Shinichi, could this murder be someone seeking revenge for the two?" Xia Chuan made a very bold hypothesis.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Takeda family became nervous.

The meaning of this statement is very clear. In this case, the murderer can only be among the Takeda family.

“Isn’t this speculation a little untenable?”

Conan and Hattori shook their heads slightly. Their guess was too bold and could not even stand up to scrutiny.

Although they had such speculation, they did not say it out loud.

The reason is very simple. Before evidence is found, all speculations are groundless.

"It's possible!" Maori Kogoro glanced at everyone and said, "After all, there are close relatives. I think the old lady is very suspicious. As the saying goes, grandparents are closer than grandchildren. I think the old lady must have discovered that her granddaughter's death was related to her son, so she killed him."

"..."

Xia Chuan rolled his eyes. He thought Uncle Maori had discovered something, but it turned out that he just had a richer imagination than him.

Even if a 70-year-old grandmother could kill Takeda Shinichi, how did she hang him in the air nearly two meters above the ground? There is no way the old lady could do it!

"In short, in order to prevent the same tragedy from happening again, it's best for everyone not to run around tonight. I'll go check the body first, and I'll deal with the rest after the police arrive tomorrow."

After everyone returned to their room, Kogoro Mouri went to the second floor of the warehouse to check the body.

When the famous detective saw the death of Takeda Shinichi, he couldn't help but recall the scene in his dream and shuddered.

"Who on earth designed the room to be a secret room, yet made it look like he was murdered?"

Maori Kogoro thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Could it be suicide? After all, his wife and daughter committed suicide here. Maybe he just wanted to die with his wife and daughter."

"Uncle Maori..."

Conan was speechless, "If he wanted to commit suicide, what was the reason? Mr. Shinichi just invited you to come and solve the cause of Mr. Negishi's death a few days ago, and then he died. It's very suspicious to think about it."

"That's right!" Hattori nodded, went around the back of the body, climbed up the ladder and came to the back of the deceased: "The back of the head of the body showed signs of heavy blows. The murderer first knocked Mr. Shinichi unconscious and then hanged him."

Kogoro Maori curled his lips and walked around the room bored.

The room was very clean, and Conan and Hattori had already searched it and found no useful clues.

In order to solve this case, we may have to start with the alibis of the Takeda family.

Natsukawa did not join in the fun with Kogoro Mori and acted on his own.

In fact, he already had someone chosen as the murderer.

Once you have a candidate for the murderer in mind, it will be much easier to work back and deduce the method and time of the crime.

From his perspective, he knew that Misa was actually the daughter of Takeda Ryuji. If Misa was really forced to death by Takeda Shinichi, then the murderer was most likely between Takeda Ryuji and Robert Taylor.

Robert Taylor has an alibi, so the remaining murderer can only be Ryuji Takeda.

It is normal for a father to avenge his own daughter.

Judging from the time of Negishi's death, it can be seen that Negishi accidentally revealed something about Misa to Takeda Ryuji, which led to the other party's sudden killing.

But then again, when Takeda Shinichi died, Takeda Ryuji was boiling water in the water room.

Boiling water for a bathtub is a very time-consuming task. If you are not careful, the water temperature will be too hot or too cold.

Just now he found an opportunity to secretly ask the twins, and they said that the water temperature has been very stable. So the question is, how did Takeda Ryuji commit the crime while boiling water, and how did he make that room into a secret room.

One is the key to proving alibi, and the other is the key to the modus operandi.

“What a stinky smell.”

As soon as he arrived at the water boiler room, Xia Chuan smelled the burnt smell of industrial waste.

The smell permeated the entire room, and even though the water room was not closed, the smell did not dissipate.

"Father, there seems to be something in here."

Anya had been following her father, and the first thing she thought of when she noticed the unusual smell was the kiln in front of her where water was being boiled.

Then he picked up the tongs on the ground, pinched his nose, and used the tongs to turn the fire back and forth in the kiln.

"Children should not play with fire. Let me do it."

Xia Chuan pulled his daughter aside and scooped a few bowls of water to put out the fire.

After the flames were extinguished, the smell of industrial waste instantly became stronger, and then a lot of black smoke was seen flying around.

After a few random scrapes, Xia Chuan found the source of the stench.

A tin can was picked out.
