Conan: I'm definitely a blackmailer!

"In fact, the tragedy is not just like this."

Takeda Yoko pursed her lips and added hesitantly.

After a brief pause, Takeda Yoko spoke in a low voice.

"Just three days ago..."

"A Mr. Negishi who had always taken good care of my eldest brother also hanged himself in that place."

As if thinking of the scene at that time, Takeda Yoko couldn't help shrinking her neck.

"Moreover, it happened when our whole family was out..."

"Then Mr. Negishi——"

"Does he often visit your house?"

As if thinking of something, Maori Kogoro couldn't help frowning.

Isn't it said that... things happened to people in the Takeda family?

Could it be that... Mr. Negishi has some inseparable relationship with the Takeda family?

"Yes."

"My eldest brother is a puppeteer, and Mr. Negishi--"

"He has been helping my eldest brother with the sales of puppets."

Takeda Yoko nodded slightly and explained briefly.

"Actually, the reason why my eldest brother wrote to ask you to come over..."

Takeda Ryuji, the second son of the Takeda family, came over from behind and said to Maori Kogoro in a very serious tone.

"Actually, it's just to ask you to help investigate this matter."

After that, Takeda Ryuji briefly introduced himself.

"I am the second son of this family, Takeda Ryuji."

It has to be said that the name of the Sakura Country is quite casual...

As for the surname, it is basically related to the place and the object.

Like Yamashita, Kawasaki, Takeuchi...

As for names, the most common ones are Lang, and then various numbers.

"Excuse me--"

"You two don't look like country people."

Hattori Heiji looked around Takeda Yoko and Takeda Ryuji for a few times, and said thoughtfully.

I have to say, it's... quite sudden.

However, Takeda Yoko and Takeda Ryuji, who were the parties involved, didn't mind.

Just shrugged slightly and said casually.

"Actually, we all lived in Tokyo before..."

"We went back to our hometown during the holidays."

Takeda Ryuji nodded slightly and added immediately.

"As a result--"

"I didn't expect that what happened to Mr. Negishi would happen." (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"My eldest brother told us to stay at home for a while and wait for the detective to come."

"Is that so."

Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but touch his chin, thinking.Said.

"Mr. Maori!"

"I'm the one who invited you here this time, Takeda Shinichi."[]

Takeda Shinichi, who had a beard, came over from behind and said to Maori Kogoro with a warm smile.

"I'm so sorry to bother you to come all the way to Spider Ridge..."

When he said this, Takeda Shinichi was already very close to Maori Kogoro.

Before Maori Kogoro could react, Takeda Shinichi directly put his arm around Maori Kogoro's shoulders.

He leaned close to Maori Kogoro's ear and whispered softly.

"Mr. Maori——"

"To be honest, I thought Mr. Negishi was killed by his family..."

"So, I want to ask you for a favor."

"After you know who the murderer is, you must tell me first!"

After saying that, Takeda Shinichi couldn't help but look around.

It seemed that he was worried that his words would be heard by others...

"(Li Zhao's) Oh!"

Mouri Kogoro didn't react for a while, but nodded subconsciously.

Then, Takeda Shinichi let go of Maori Kogoro.

He looked around behind him and said hesitantly.

"By the way--"

"Are these all your children? There are quite a lot of them!"

"This......."

The corners of Maori Kogoro's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he said with a little embarrassment.

"This is a long story."

Mauri Kogoro always felt like he had brought his family along to eat for free. .
