Conan Rick's Investigator

But after secretly observing in Tottori Prefecture for a few days, Robert discovered that the Japanese police had no ability to solve the case.

Therefore, Robert, who was full of anger, came up with a basket of revenge plans against the "King" Takeda Shinichi...

Chapter 326 The main film begins, and the "tour" continues (3k, please subscribe)

At this moment, Robert mentally organized his words for dealing with the detectives and police officers' inquiries, reviewed his actor's self-cultivation, and slowly drove the car into the courtyard of the Spider's House.

As soon as he opened the car door and got out, Robert saw a man in a brown windbreaker standing in front of him waiting for him.

"what!"

Robert, who had something to hide, was frightened by Qin Zhibo and even screamed.

Qin Zhibo put his hands behind his back, raised his head in a certain direction, and said something in English.

“Follow me…”

……

Under Qin Zhibo's leadership, Robert followed him into the Takeda family's warehouse No. 2, as obedient as a primary school student who was called to the teacher's office after class.

This warehouse was the original warehouse of the Takeda family. The warehouse where the accident occurred was built on top of the Spider Fairy Shrine in the village after Takeda Shinichi forcibly demolished it.

Under the dim light, Qin Zhibo got straight to the point and asked, "You actually killed Takeda Shinichi, didn't you?"

Robert's body trembled, and his already vaguely uneasy heart trembled suddenly.

But then, having prepared himself mentally, Robert gathered his thoughts, pretended to be very surprised, and shouted in broken Japanese, "Mr. Qin! What are you talking about?"

"Mr. Takeda was killed? What on earth is going on?"

Robert was called here as soon as he got off the car. Theoretically, he didn't know that Takeda Shinichi had been killed, so it was correct to say this.

Qin Zhibo did not explain and continued, "I actually saw you mourning in front of Takeda Misa's grave this afternoon..."

"And after dinner, when you were driving to leave, you fired BBs at the second-floor window of the warehouse. I saw that too..."

"And I also saw the fishing line you tied to the rear of the car..."

罗伯特：“… … ”

Qin Zhibo, who was concerned about the mission time, saw that Robert could not answer for a while, so he continued to speak.

"You went to Takeda Misa's grave to mourn in advance, which means you knew Takeda Misa was dead a long time ago."

"But you pretended to be ignorant in front of the Takeda family and did not arouse suspicion. This means that the person who told you this is probably dead."

"This person can only be Negishi, who hanged himself at the Takeda residence a few days ago. He was the one who told you that Takeda Misa was dead, and you were the one who killed him."

"You sent the letter of commission to invite Hattori Heiji in order to get him to prove that it was your first day at Puppet Ridge, but in reality, your method is completely untenable."

"You are a blond, blue-eyed foreigner. In this rural area where most people are Asian, your whereabouts can be determined with just a few inquiries."

"And your flight information also confirms that you didn't come to Japan in the past two days..."

"Besides that, after you used the trap to kill Takeda Shinichi, you probably threw the toy air gun and fishing line into the mountains to dispose of them, right?"

"But we can use the tire tracks to determine your driving trajectory, and then use a police dog to find where you discarded the evidence."

Qin Zhibo's words kept echoing in his ears. Robert opened his eyes wide, sweating profusely, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

The plan I had been thinking about in the hotel for several days was actually cracked so easily?

And the solution is so scientific?

According to Qin Zhibo, with both witnesses and physical evidence available, it is only a matter of time before the murder method is uncovered.

I can no longer escape the blame!

Qin Zhibo walked over to Robert, whose facial muscles were still struggling slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said calmly: "To surre kick up a cloud of dust..."

(Go and turn yourself in, don’t be so mysterious)

Hearing the local dialect with such a pure accent here made Robert's heart tremble suddenly, and he knelt down in shame.

……

At the warehouse, Hattori Heiji and Conan have formed an "Anti-Qin Alliance" to jointly search the scene and deduce the case.

The two were discussing why the murderer had to use fishing line to create a legendary appearance this time instead of directly hanging the person in the warehouse to pretend it was suicide, when news came from outside that Robert had confessed to the crime.

The two rushed out quickly and saw Qin Zhibo standing next to Robert, and immediately understood everything.

The second joint anti-Qin campaign failed!

Although Robert had confessed his crime, he roared viciously in the face of the accusations of a few people: "Everyone in this family watched her die without helping her! They allowed Misa to be bullied to death by that devilish father!"

"So I hate you all the same!"

Before Hattori Heiji, who was filled with indignation, could rush forward, Qin Zhibo slowly said, "Actually, I didn't want to talk about this, but since you mentioned it, I'll tell you."

"Sae and Emi's names just happen to go together. If it were Misa, Sae, and Emi, it would also fit in the order."

"I believe this is definitely not a coincidence..." Qin Zhibo turned to look at Takeda Zhihui, "Right, old lady?"

Takeda Chie, hunched over, took two steps forward and said slowly, "Yes, in fact, I noticed it on the first day Misa was brought back from the hospital..."

"So when I was naming my children, I gave these three children these names."

"When Shinichi returned from the hospital that day, he learned about Misa's situation and flew into a rage, pushing her against a pillar and injuring her."

"From that day on, I took good care of Misa. After all, no matter who gave birth to her, she is my granddaughter..."

Takeda Chie sighed, shook her head, and left the porch with her hands behind her back.

Yoko Takeda stood there completely stunned, staring ahead with her eyes staring blankly like an idiot.

Although Qin Zhibo and Takeda Chie did not say it explicitly, she guessed the hidden story.

Misa Takeda is the child born to her husband and sister-in-law!

Even at this point, Robert was still furious and roared, "This is impossible! If Misa hadn't been bullied, she would never have committed suicide!"

"I even left him a note asking her to wait for me!"

At this time, Hattori Heiji, who had already exchanged intelligence with Conan, grabbed Robert's collar and roared: "You left Shine, right?"

"To Misa, who's not good at English, this means shi-ne, which means 'die'!"

After hearing these words, Robert could no longer straighten his back and sat down on the ground dejectedly.

……

After dawn, the Tottori Prefecture police arrived late and took Robert, who was as numb as a puppet, away.

He kept repeating the words "Why am I not a Japanese?" and "Why is she not an American?"

In fact, these two sentences can be summed up in one sentence: "It is important to learn a foreign language well."

Qin Zhibo checked his willpower value, and after Hattori Heiji made the final judgment, his willpower value dropped by 20 points.

However, Qin Zhibo did not agree with Hattori Heiji's final reasoning.

Qin Zhibo had long understood that "shine" should be understood as "shine" (die), but this was, after all, a childish understanding.

Misa Takeda is a nurse who graduated from a reputable university. Even though she can't communicate fluently in English, she doesn't even know the English word "shine" and refuses to look up the dictionary. She lets two children who were only six years old three years ago decide right and wrong.

Of course, from the perspective of shaping tragedy, this is a qualified story.

But from a realistic perspective, this is somewhat outrageous.

With Robert being taken away, it was time for the Maori family and the Will-O-Wisp duo from Osaka to return home.

Since the eldest brother's family was wiped out and the second brother's family was in a quarrel, only the third brother came out to see them off and took the responsibility of sending everyone to the station.

On the truck, everyone sat on the dump box, only to find Qin Zhibo standing on the ground, smiling and waving at everyone.

Mao Lilan was a little surprised and asked, "Mr. Qin, aren't you going back to Tokyo with me?"

Qin Zhibo shook his head. "I'm going to stay here for two more days. You guys should go first."

Hattori Heiji and Conan felt a tightness in their hearts and became a little alert.

Is the case not over yet?

Are there any other commissions or other inside information that have not been discovered?

But the murderer in the case has been arrested, so what else is there to do?

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Qin Zhibo smiled and explained, "Don't forget, I'm here for tourism..."

……

After Takeda Yuzo's car drove away, Qin Zhibo came to Takeda Chie's room.

The statue of the spider fairy is still enshrined in the shrine.

"Old lady, could you please lend me this statue for a day?"

Takeda Chie turned her head doubtfully, looked at Qin Zhibo deeply, and asked, "What do you want this statue for?"

Qin Zhibo explained, "Actually, besides being a detective, I'm also a part-time author, and most of my works are based on ghost stories..."

"I came to Puppet Ridge this time because I had heard of the Spider Immortal's reputation here for a long time, so I came to visit."

"I want to borrow the statue temporarily so I can gather some inspiration for my creations in the area where the Spider Fairies are found..."

After listening to Qin Zhibo's reasonable explanation, Takeda Chie frowned.

"You're courting trouble. If you do this, you'll anger Lord Spider..."

Seeing Qin Zhibo's eyes still firm, Takeda Chie shook her head and murmured, "You young people just don't believe the legends of the old people..."

"If you insist, I can lend you the statue, but remember..."

"You must come back before dark, and leave Puppet Ridge immediately tomorrow morning. Never come back again."

Upon hearing that there was a chance, Qin Zhibo hurriedly thanked her and took the statue from Takeda Chie's hands.

……

Holding the cloth-wrapped spider fairy statue in his arms, Qin Zhibo turned his head to glance at Takeda Chie who was kneeling on the futon.

It is because of belief that we need idols...

Qin Zhibo clearly remembered that there was a related description in the book "The Secret of Worms".

Some incredible beings will establish a close connection with their statues or portraits, and through these statues or portraits, it is possible to establish communication or connection with these beings.

Among them was the Spider God, Atlach-Nakea.

Chapter 327 "Takeda Misa"

Atlach-Nakea, the legendary spider god, is considered by his worshippers to be the ruler of all spiders.

This is the only description of spiders in the entire book "Secrets of Worms".

In addition, this main quest is extended from "The Secret of Worms", so the "Spider Fairy" circulating here is likely to refer to the Spider God.

According to Ludwig Prin, Atlach-Nakea was a giant spider with a human-like face.

This is similar to the legend of the "Spider Fairy" in Kuilei Ridge transforming into a human form and bewitching travelers.

The book describes how to establish a connection with such deities through the use of statues or portraits.

Now that the statue of "Spider Fairy" has been borrowed, Qin Zhibo still needs another thing.

Qin Zhibo walked through the courtyard and came to the Takeda family's workshop and took out the life-size puppet in the corner.

Yesterday, Robert confessed to the police that Takeda Shinichi used puppet products to sell drugs, so those carefully crafted puppets were taken away by the police.

The remaining large puppet was used in the village's previous celebrations, but since the death of the old head of the Takeda family, no one in the village can control the puppet well.

In addition, due to the population loss in Puppet Ridge, even celebrations could not be held in recent years, so this puppet could only be placed in the corner to collect dust.

According to legend, the puppeteer used this puppet to attract the "Spider Fairy", so Qin Zhibo planned to try it with this as well.

Qin Zhibo had already greeted Takeda Yuzo before, and now he could move the puppet directly to the passenger seat of the Mazda.

Carrying two props, Qin Zhibo stepped on the accelerator and headed towards the mission location.
