Conan Rick's Investigator

In the car, Qin Zhibo and Robert had a brief conversation.

It turned out that Robert had received favor from the Takeda family three years ago, so he came back to visit again.

Qin Zhibo did not tell him what he saw him on the mountain.

……

Soon, everyone arrived at the Takeda family.

When the head of the Takeda family, Takeda Nobuichi, saw Qin Zhibo coming, he immediately welcomed him with joy.

"As long as Mr. Qin can solve the mystery of our family, I will offer the same commission fee as Mr. Maori as a reward..."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji's face became even darker.

So I'm the cheapest...

Chapter 322 Qin Zhibo's Humanity

Robert, standing by, asked a gentle woman with long hair where Takeda Misa was.

Qin Zhibo took a look and saw that the woman's name was Takeda Yoko.

Takeda Yoko said: "After you left three years ago, about two or three days later, she committed suicide."

"suicide?"

Robert showed a surprised expression, which surprised Qin Zhibo who was observing quietly from the side.

Wasn't Robert the first one to visit Takeda Misa's tomb? Why is he acting like he just found out about this?

"Not long after Misa's accident, my sister-in-law took her place..." Takeda Yoko's eyes wandered for a moment, "Misa's mother, who also committed suicide."

"How could this happen..." Kogoro Mouri looked confused, and the other detectives also became serious in unison.

"That... I don't know either." Takeda shook his head. "But the tragedy isn't over yet. Just a few days ago, Mr. Negishi, who always took good care of my eldest brother, took advantage of us not being home during the day and hanged himself in the warehouse."

Maori Kogoro asked, "Excuse me, does Mr. Negishi often visit your home?"

At this time, Takeda Shinichi took over the conversation and said, "I am a puppet master, and Negishi is in charge of sales and transportation. We are good partners who work closely together, so..."

Takeda Shinichi leaned over to Qin Zhibo and Maori Kogoro and whispered, "This is the mystery I want you two to solve."

"Actually, I've always suspected that Negishi was murdered by a family member. If you two detectives know who the murderer is, please tell me first..."

Kogoro Mouri said "Oh?", but Shinichi Takeda did not explain much and exchanged a few normal greetings with Robert.

"Now that you're here, don't be shy and treat this place like your home. It just so happens that Sae and Emi, who you get along best with, are here too."

"Oh, you're here too..."

Takeda Shinichi looked down, and Robert looked back following Takeda Shinichi's gaze, and saw two twin lolis who looked and dressed exactly the same looking up at Robert.

"Sae, Emi, you've grown up so much..."

Facing Robert's friendly greeting, the two little girls stared at him expressionlessly, just like the twin girls in "The Shining", and said coldly: "Murderer..."

As soon as the little Lolita said this, everyone was shocked.

Before everyone could react, the little girl started talking to herself again.

"He's here to kill again..."

"That's right……"

"I'm so scared..."

"Horrible, terrible..."

Takeda Yoko immediately sternly taught them a lesson: "Alright! You two kids are not allowed to talk nonsense!"

"Ah! Mommy is so scary!"

The little girl screamed and ran away, while everyone continued to talk.

On the porch not far away, a short figure slowly pushed the door open, revealing half of his face and looking at the visitors in the courtyard.

Qin Zhibo took a look and saw an old woman with the name "Takeda Chie" floating above her head.

It seems that he is also a member of this family, and judging from his age, he should be the oldest person in the family.

In this case, you might be very familiar with some of the legends circulating here.

Perhaps you can find clues about the "Spider's Nest" in these legends.

……

After a while of greeting in the courtyard, the Takeda family's maid announced that dinner was ready.

Almost everyone in the Takeda family gathered in the tatami room, which allowed Qin Zhibo to understand the situation of the Takeda family at once.

There are three brothers in the Takeda family. The eldest brother is Takeda Shinichi, followed by his second brother, Takeda Ryuji, and his third brother, Takeda Yuzo.

Takeda Shinichi's wife and daughter committed suicide three years ago, and the Takeda Misa Robert came back to find was his daughter.

However, judging from the way Takeda Shinichi drank happily and ate meat at the dinner table, Qin Zhibo felt that Takeda Shinichi was not at all uncomfortable with the death of his wife and daughter.

Ryuji Takeda is a man in a neat suit. His wife is Yoko Takeda, who was in charge of reception in the courtyard just now. His two daughters are Saye and Emi, who look like the twin girl ghosts in "The Shining".

The whole family recently returned from Tokyo.

Finally, there is the less noticeable person, Takeda Yuzo. He was the one who drove to pick up Mori Kogoro, and he is still a bachelor.

As for the old woman Qin Zhibo saw in the courtyard just now, she was the mother of the third son of the Takeda family.

Ever since the Negishi incident, old lady Takeda has said that this place is cursed, and she even has to eat in her room.

At the dinner table, the twin girls felt unfair because there was only half a fish in their bowls.

Takeda Yoko quickly comforted her, "I'm sorry, Mom bought the fish based on the number of people, but there were three more customers than expected. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Look, there's no fish in Mom and Dad's bowls..."

Seeing this, Yuanshan Heye, who was standing by, offered to give his fish to the two children.

However, when Hattori Heiji, who was standing by, saw that Kaiko had not touched the fish yet, his straight male cancer suddenly broke out and he unceremoniously extended Kaiko towards the fish on the plate.

"What's wrong, Heye? If you don't want to eat your fish, let me eat it..."

Hattori Heiji chewed the fish in big mouthfuls, and Toyama Kazuha could only roll his eyes at Hattori Heiji, "Why are you like this..."

At this time, Qin Zhibo brought the fish on his plate to the twin girls and said, "Uncle, I don't like fish very much, so I'll give it to you guys."

The two little girls who love fish immediately said "thank you" happily and started to eat quickly.

Seeing this, Takeda Yoko felt a little embarrassed, "You are a guest, how can you do this..."

Qin Zhibo smiled and waved his hand, saying, "There's an old saying in my hometown: no matter how hard life is, we must not let our children suffer, and no matter how poor we are, we must not let our education suffer."

"Let the child eat while he is still growing..."

Qin Zhibo's words made everyone at the table feel enlightened.

At this moment, the brilliance of Qin Zhibo's humanity was so great that Ran Maori, Kazuha Toyama, and Yoko Takeda couldn't help but look at Qin Zhibo with admiration.

The difference in quality was immediately apparent. On the other hand, Hattori Heiji, who was holding half a fish in his mouth, was instantly submerged beneath the surface by the brilliant light from Qin Zhibo's body, which directly crushed Hattori Heiji, whose skin was already dull.

Toyama Kazuha felt a little embarrassed to watch, so she turned her head to the other side and moved her body slightly away from Hattori Heiji.

Even Conan gave him a look of disdain.

After being taught a lesson by Qin Zhibo's words, Hattori Heiji felt a little embarrassed.

But then, the detective's clever brain started working, and Hattori Heiji found a way to pretend to be ignorant.

"Hey, I'm a kid too, okay?"

"According to scientific research, 12 to 18 years old is the best age for physical growth. I'm only 17 years old this year, so I'm still in the growth stage, right?"

Mao Lilan: "..."

Conan: "..."

As a childhood sweetheart, Toyama Kazuha could no longer bear it and said sarcastically, "It's really strange. Who isn't a child these days?"

Chapter 323: "Thoughtful" Comfort

Having said that, the straight man Hattori Heiji had no choice but to admit defeat. He spat out the half-chewed fish in his mouth and used a quick knife to hold it in front of Toyama Kazuha's face.

"Here, if you don't mind..."

"Go to hell!"

Toyama Kazuha screamed and punched Hattori Heiji on the waist.

A muffled sound of "bang" came from Hattori Heiji's stomach.

Fortunately, Toyama Kazuha practices Aikido and doesn't usually practice strength training, so she doesn't have as much strength as Mori Ran.

Otherwise, kidney...

Just crush it!

But even so, this punch was still too much for Hattori Heiji to bear.

"Well……"

Hattori Heiji, who was suffering from abdominal pain, lay on the table with his hands covering his stomach, causing Conan to chuckle.

Although the two high school detectives who admired each other became good friends who could talk about anything since their first encounter, Conan was still a little dissatisfied with Hattori Heiji.

That is, Hattori Heiji often uses his real identity to threaten Conan. Although he knows it is a joke, it often scares Conan a lot.

So when Conan saw Hattori Heiji being humiliated, he felt very relieved.

Hattori Heiji looked at the fish bones in Conan's bowl that had been eaten clean, and said in a struggle: "Didn't you eat your fish yourself?"

Conan chuckled, "Sorry, I'm just a child..."

Hattori Heiji:"……"

……

After the little incident at dinner, everyone started to go about their own business.

Shinichi Takeda first returned to the studio to repair the puppets sent by customers, while Robert suggested going to the grave of Misa Takeda to pay their respects.

Qin Zhibo: Didn’t you go there during the day?

The others did not doubt Robert's proposal, and the third son of the Takeda family handed the car keys to Robert.

When Toyama Kazuha and Maori Ran heard that the moonlight in the valley along the way was beautiful, they also clamored to go and see it together.

When Conan, the "Jealous King of East Asia", heard that Robert was going to take Mouri Ran out, he quickly handed his earring-shaped phone to Mouri Ran.

"Sister Xiaolan, if you encounter a wolf in the wild, this thing will come in handy."

"Wolf?" Mao Lilan asked doubtfully, "Are there still wolves in this forest?"

Ran Maoli obviously didn't understand what Conan meant, but the other "Second Jealous King of East Asia" sympathized with him.

Hattori Heiji: He's not a wolf, he's a pervert...

Takeda Ryuji shook his head. "I haven't heard of any wolves here, but there are quite a lot of spiders in the forest around here."

"spider?"

Girls are generally afraid of spiders. When Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha heard this, they immediately showed frightened expressions.

At this time, Qin Zhibo also came over and "comforted" her: "I checked the travel guide before traveling here. The spiders here are not poisonous. You can let them bite you without worry."

"It's okay. Even if you get bitten, you won't feel anything special. The most noticeable thing is the spider web hanging on your body. It's sticky on your skin and you can't pull it off. It's just a little uncomfortable..."

After Qin Zhibo's description, clouds appeared on the heads of Mao Li Ran and Toyama Kazuha at the same time, and they were reminded of the same picture.

The two of them were walking together in the woods, their bodies covered with spider webs and spiders of various sizes crawling all over their bodies.

Thinking of this scene, the two of them quickly shook their heads and forced smiles.

"I think it's better to forget it. It's better to stay in the room after dark..."
