Chapter 202

Outside the warehouse where the Takeda family stored their miscellaneous items.

Robert held the car keys and walked over to the Takeda family's van.

He fumbled around on the ground, found the fishing line he had hidden in advance, and tied it to the hook at the back of the van.

He turned his head to glance at the second floor of the puppet warehouse, his expression turning ferocious:

"Damn you, Takeda Shinichi. You actually abused Misa all this time, forcing her to choose suicide. Don't worry, Misa, I will kill this bastard and avenge you!"

Robert used the key to open the van door, sat in the driver's seat, and started the engine.

Then, he took a toy pistol out of his pocket, looking alternately at the doorway of the living room and the second-floor window of the puppet warehouse.

Not long after, the living room door opened, and Toyama Kazuha walked out.

Seeing this, Robert hurriedly took the toy pistol and fired a few shots toward the window; several BB pellets hit the window precisely.

A few seconds later, the small window suddenly opened, and Takeda Shinichi poked his head out, scanning the pitch-black courtyard with a strange look on his face.

Seeing Takeda Shinichi, a cold, sharp smile appeared on the corner of Robert's mouth: "Bastard! Go to hell!"

He roared in his heart and stepped on the accelerator.

The van surged forward rapidly, snapping the fishing line instantly, and drove to the doorway of the living room.

Unfortunately, the part of the mechanism where the fishing line was connected had long since been burned through by Akaso Kaze; Robert's entire operation was just a futile effort.

At this moment, Akaso Kaze also walked out.

He had been watching Robert's actions the whole time using his Eye of Space.

Seeing the look of satisfaction on Robert's face as he thought his great revenge was complete, he couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth.

You really just wasted your time.

On the second floor of the puppet warehouse, Takeda Shinichi was also completely bewildered.

What was that just now?

There was a sudden "tap-tap" sound at the window, as if someone had thrown small pebbles at it.

Hmm, who is making trouble?

Is it Sae and Emi?

No, Sae and Emi are both very well-behaved; they wouldn't do something like this.

This kind of thing feels like something a mischievous boy would do.

Come to think of it, among the people who came, only that dark-skinned high school student would possibly do such a thing.

To be that old and still throwing things at people's windows, that kid really has something wrong with him.

Takeda Shinichi thought randomly and raised his hand to check his watch.

"Hmm, why hasn't that guy Robert come yet? This foreigner, how did he find out I was secretly selling narcotics? Forget it, I'll ask him personally when he gets here."

"I really didn't expect the night view here to be so amazing!"

Toyama Kazuha looked at the beautiful scenery, her eyes sparkling.

Robert had gone to pay his respects, leaving only Akaso Kaze and Toyama Kazuha behind.

It was silent and peaceful, a beautiful night, with a romantic atmosphere rippling all around.

"It is! The moonlight shining into the valley is simply too beautiful!"

"You can't see such beautiful scenery in the city at all; you can only see it in deep mountains like this."

As Akaso Kaze spoke, he took hold of Toyama Kazuha's small hand.

Toyama Kazuha blushed and struggled a bit, but couldn't break free, so she gave up.

Feeling the softness of the girl's small hand, Akaso Kaze curled the corner of his mouth.

He suddenly frowned slightly.

A dark, shadowy figure was drifting back and forth in the distance, seemingly circling Robert.

Akaso Kaze took a look with his Eye of Space.

Huh?

This thing is actually a soul, about the size of an ordinary person, somewhat similar to the water-soldier ghost that came out of the black gem.

Judging by its appearance, it's quite young, a female.

The soul circled around Robert, a sorrowful expression on its face.

It seems to even possess intelligence.

It's truly strange that a wild soul could become like this.

The woman's soul drifted for a while, then flew off into the distance.

Akaso Kaze was a bit puzzled and followed her with his Eye of Space.

At the Takeda residence, a woman walked in through the gate.

She looked around with a reminiscent expression, then walked toward the puppet warehouse.

On the second floor of the Takeda family's puppet warehouse.

Takeda Shinichi sat in the room, bored, and frowned: "Why hasn't that guy Robert come yet? It's been so long. Damn it! Don't tell me he's playing games with me?"

"Hmph! If that bastard dares to mess with me, I'll teach him a lesson."

Knock, knock.

A sound suddenly rang out at the door.

"This kid, he finally came."

Takeda Shinichi's eyes lit up, and he walked over to open the door.

Then, he froze.

"Kin, Kinuyo? How? How is it possible? How could you still be alive?"

In the guest room, Hattori Heiji, who had been sleeping, woke up.

"Where am I?"

He opened his eyes blankly and tapped his dizzy head, not yet understanding his current situation.

The guest room door suddenly opened.

Under the moonlight, a beautiful middle-aged woman stood at the door.

She was wearing a kimono, slightly loose, revealing patches of snow-white skin.

The open hem fluttered in the breeze, and a pair of bright white feet stepped barefoot on the floor.

She looked at Hattori Heiji and said with a bewitching expression: "Do you believe there is a Paradise of Ultimate Bliss in this world? Do you want to go and have some fun with me?"

"Huh?"

Hattori Heiji was a bit stunned.

"Paradise of Ultimate Bliss? Have some fun together? Your words are so strange!"

He shook his head and asked, feeling a bit dazed: "Are you a servant of the Takeda family? Could you pour me some water?"

The woman was also stunned by his reaction.

She paused for a moment, her face slowly becoming sorrowful.

"Wuwu, my poor daughter, you died so unjustly..."

"Unjust? Could it be that a case has occurred?"

Hattori Heiji was just like Conan; whenever he heard about a case, it was as if he had seen a peerless beauty, and his energy immediately surged.

"My name is Kinuyo, and my daughter's name is Misa. She died so unjustly..."

The woman cried while telling the story of the past.

Not long after, Hattori Heiji followed Kinuyo out of the room.

Arriving at the door, they saw Takeda Shinichi standing there blankly.

Hattori Heiji patted Takeda Shinichi on the shoulder and said confidently: "Don't worry, Lady Takeda has already told me everything. I will definitely help you find out the truth about Miss Misa's death."

Being patted, a look of struggle appeared in Takeda Shinichi's eyes.

He opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something.

Suddenly, a thin, invisible spider silk tightened around his neck, and Takeda Shinichi's eyes became blank again.

Hattori Heiji didn't notice Takeda Shinichi's abnormality and followed Kinuyo out the door.

He felt vaguely in his heart that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he couldn't remember what.

The three of them walked out of the gate and disappeared into the darkness.
