~20 min read 3,862 words

It turned out that she said she was here to deliver refreshments to Megure and the others. After all, it was difficult to investigate the case so late at night, so the Takeda family had to give some indication.
Unexpectedly, I saw the scene where the martial arts cat beat up the weird spider.
"I think you are hungry. Do you want to eat something?"
Miyuki Shiotani forced a smile, and moved the tray in his hand towards Tom Mu.
This cat is very scary, it's better to please it.
Maomao is totally welcome. These snacks look pretty good. He just finished exercising and is now hungry.
After thanking Tang Mu, Haihara Ai still hadn't forgotten the business of investigating the case, so he asked the maid for some relevant information about the Takeda family.
"So you and Miss Misa are friends."
Officer Megure was also unceremonious. He held a rice ball in his hand and listened to Miyuki Shiotani's narration as he ate with some sighs.
"Yes, we used to be nurses in the same hospital. But I felt too tired, so I stopped being a nurse." Miyuki Shiotani looked at Tom and Mu with a soft smile on his face and continued. : "Thanks to Misa's introduction, I can work here as a maid."
Speaking of Misa, Shiotani Miyuki also had a lonely look on her face, lowered her head and said, "Misa is a very good girl, not only considerate, but also very gentle."
"So why would a girl with such a personality want to commit suicide?"
Officer Memu scratched his head and asked in confusion.
Officer Megure's question made the atmosphere a little gloomy, but Shiotani Miyuki still sighed and replied: "Maybe it's because of that incident…"
"Misa's father, Mr. Shinichi. When he came back from the hospital for some reason, he angrily grabbed his wife Kinuyo and yelled at her in a loud voice. What are you talking about? You actually deceived me for 20 years. ."
"Why did her wife cheat on him?"What happened? "Officer Megure felt a big melon and didn't even eat the rice ball in his hand.
Unfortunately, Miyuki Shiotani's melons are not complete either. Faced with Officer Megure's inquiry, he could only wonder: "I don't know the inside story about this. It was because of this that Misa was accidentally seriously injured.
At that time, because Misa wanted to break up the fight, Mr. Shinichi pushed her out. Her head happened to hit a pillar, and she had to go to the hospital for seven stitches on her forehead. After that, Meisha seemed to be a different person, and she even had to rest in the hospital. Until she met Mr. Robber...
There was a gravel avalanche three years ago. Meisa happened to meet him on the road. Mr. Rob happened to be buried by a gravel collapse while taking pictures. The hospital happened to be full of patients that day. In the end, Misa asked him to be treated in the hospital, and then took him home to take care of him personally.
It was quite nerve-wracking at the beginning, with gravel running into his mouth and Rob unable to speak. Mr. Rob speaks fluently, but he is not very good at writing Japanese. The two can only communicate in Romaji.
Later, Rob was finally able to speak, and the whole person became much more interesting. He likes to joke with us, such as saying that I am the prince of a small country and come here to find a wife as beautiful as the sun.

When his injury was almost healed and he was leaving here, he got along well with Mr. Long Er and his family who returned to the countryside to visit relatives. Misa also became cheerful again because of him. "
Haibara Ai had been listening quietly. After the maid finished speaking, she suddenly asked: "But didn't Miss Meisa commit suicide two or three days after Rob left? Since her condition has improved, it stands to reason that That shouldn't be the case, right?"
Shiotani Miyuki closed her eyes and shook her head slightly, replying: "I'm not very sure. After Rob left, Misa returned to her original state. Just when I was wondering why I didn't see her, I wondered if she had run away from home. At that time, Mr. Yongzo found Misa hanging in the warehouse on the second floor. Not long after that, Misa's mother Kinuyo also followed and left..."
"After the two of them passed away, did any of them act like a liar?"
Xiao Ai asked a question that all detectives would ask.
Shiotani Miyuki recalled for a moment and then said: "Mr. Shinichi didn't shed a single tear at that time, and he was very calm when attending the funeral. But Mr. Ryuji's reaction was very violent. His cry was so loud that the neighbors could hear it. . And then there are the sae and the end...
They had such fun with Rob before. However, when the two of them went home to visit relatives two years ago, they said something very strange. It's like saying that Rob killed Misa. "
"But why do they say such things?"
Officer Memu asked puzzledly.
"I don't know. Mr. Negishi, who came here to pick up the puppets, was also shocked. After they said a few words to Mr. Negishi, they suddenly came to this conclusion." Miyuki Shiotani was also a little distressed, and added: " I also asked, and they said they just asked Mr. Negishi for a few names."
Speaking of Negishi, Haibara Ai asked about the situation of the deceased: "Mr. Negishi also died a few days ago. What is his condition?"
"That day we all went to a meeting nearby. Mrs. Yoko came back early to prepare dinner and found his body in the warehouse. At that time, Mr. Shinichi and I happened to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner."
Miyuki Shiotani looked at Officer Tom Mu and Megure, and further explained: "Since Mrs. Kinushiro passed away, Mr. Shinichi has been in charge of the family's finances alone."
Hearing this, Tang Mu and Officer Memu looked at each other, each picked up his own hot tea and took a sip.
Listening to the patter of rain outside the warehouse, Xiao Ai got Tang Mu's signal and asked again: "Can the rope used to hang Mr. Xinyi and those winding threads be found in this warehouse?"
"Well, that kind of thin wire is in the warehouse. It's the fishing line usually used to control puppets. The rope can also be found in the warehouse. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Shiotani Miyuki stood up as he spoke.
Officers Tom Mu and Memu also stood up.
While following Shiotani Miyuki, Officer Megure approached Tom and asked, "Tom, do you know the murderer and the secret room techniques? At the time when Mr. Shinichi died, Taylor happened to drive Mitsunaga Momo out. , I didn't have a chance to get close to the warehouse, it probably wasn't them. Later, Mrs. Yoko took the twins to take a bath."
"The maid is in the living room with us, and the old lady has also returned to her room. The most suspicious ones should be Mr. Ryuji who went to boil the bath water, and Mr. Yongzo who has been looking for the whereabouts of Mr. Shinichi, right?"
"Meow!" Maomao nodded confidently, gave a thumbs up, and almost took out a comic book of "Detective Conan" to show it to Officer Megure.
"What?! Have you already thought of it?"
Officer Mumu looked at Tang Mu with a shocked expression, and then said ecstatically: "As expected of you, I want you to become the police cat of our police force."
The group of people went to the place where various materials needed to make puppets were stored and looked around. Tom Mu didn't find any useful clues, but he picked up an abandoned puppet that might be Yong San's practice and looked at it.
Seeing that Tom Mu was interested in this puppet, Officer Memu also came over.Kneeling down next to him, he curiously asked the maid: "Mr. Shinichi is a puppet master, right? How much can his puppets sell for?"
"I'm not sure about this. It seems to be one million." Miyuki Shiotani held his chin and thought for a while before reporting a very astonishing number.
"This kind of puppet costs one million?"
Officer Memu looked like he had never seen the world, and his eyes almost popped out.
Tang Mu, who knew the inside story, curled his lips in disgust. Anyone who earns this kind of money and loses his life should be cursed.
Shiotani Miyuki nodded and said affirmatively: "Well, I heard that the maintenance fee is also very expensive."
"So that's what it is."
Officer Memu nodded suddenly.
Tang Muze ran to Hui Yuan Ai again and whispered to Xiao Ai.
After hearing what Tang Mu meant, Xiao Ai nodded and said, "Let's go see Mr. Yong San. He should still be in the studio now."
When the maid heard this, she naturally would not refuse and immediately stepped forward to lead the way: "Please come with me."
So the group followed Shiotani Miyuki to the Takeda family's studio.
In the studio, Takeda Yuzo is still assembling puppets here.
But too many things happened today, and Takeda Yuzo seemed a little distracted.
After Haibara Ai arrived, she directly stepped forward and asked Takeda Yuzo about some things about puppets.
And he confirmed the price of one million puppets.
Takeda Yuzo sat cross-legged in front of a workbench, holding a half-finished puppet in his hand. He looked at everyone and said: "Big brother originally said that he would make this puppet before tomorrow. I am doing decoration work. Big brother taught me a lot of skills. As long as I can still do simple assembly work."
"But my brother hasn't taught me the parts and repair skills yet. The puppets he made cost 700,000 yuan to repair. I heard that someone once asked me to repair them more than a dozen times. And the puppets operated by fishing lines cost more than ordinary puppets. It's more expensive."
"So the money earned is enough for my eldest brother and Mr. Negishi to travel abroad several times. Mr. Negishi seems to be able to sell the puppets for more money, so Mr. Negishi has always been doing the work in this area."
Haibara Ai nodded, then pointed to the stacks of cardboard boxes behind Takeda Yusan and asked, "What are those boxes for?"
"Oh, those boxes. They are the puppets that Mr. Negishi was supposed to take away a few days ago. When Mr. Negishi died, my eldest brother noticed that one of the puppets was missing. Moreover, the customer's call had already been called to the house to remind him. That's why he planned to make another one quickly."
As Takeda Yuzo said this, he seemed to be thinking of his elder brother who had just died. He looked at the puppet in his hand with a somewhat gloomy look.
"That's it, I probably know."
Hui Yuan Ai nodded.
Seeing Tom Mu lying on his shoulder, quietly making small movements for himself.
Xiao Ai, who understood clearly, stayed away from everyone and walked toward the corner of the room pretending to be fine.
Seeing that no one else was paying attention, Tang Mu took out a bow tie and handed it to Haihara Ai.
This is what Tang Mu took the time to make during this period.
After all, Xiao Ai is not a qualified detective yet, and she will definitely need Tang Mu's assistance when closing the case.
Pointing to the bow tie in Xiao Ai's hand, Tang Mu pointed to his cat tag.
This thing is actually a combination of a cat language translator, a communicator and a speaker.
With this thing, Xiao Ai only needs to dress accordingly and look good.
Xiao Ai dislikes the ugly bow tie.
I didn't want to wear it originally.
But facing the cat's big expectant eyes, Haihara Ai still compromised.
Xiao Ai had more and more equipment similar to that of a Death God elementary school student, and Tang Mu was very pleased.
After conspiring with Tang Mu, Xiao Ai weakly returned to Officer Mu Mu and said: "Officer Mu Mu, please summon people to the warehouse in fifteen minutes. I already know the truth of this case. "
"Do you already know the murderer? This is great, I will do it right away!"
As soon as Officer Memu heard this, he knew that the detective cat had an idea, and he immediately went out happily to summon others.
Takeda Yuzo also walked out, leaving only Tang Mu and Xiao Ai in the room.
After Takeda Yuzo also left, the cat slowly stepped forward and opened the boxes.
Hui Yuan Ai also came over and looked into the box with Tang Mu. There were indeed neatly arranged puppets inside.
But the cat didn't stop. He stretched out his claws and pried open the surface of the puppet.
There is a bag full of white powder hidden among these hollow puppets!
Seeing these things, Haiyuan Ai's eyes widened!
"Officer Megure is right, you really should become a police cat!"
Saying this, Haiyuan Ai couldn't help but sigh: "What nine traces of damage can be restored with 1 million yuan? In addition to the maintenance fee of 700,000 yuan, someone has repaired it more than ten times. Sure enough, what is really being sold is not A doll."
Xiao Ai watched Tang Mu put the puppet back into the box, and thought of something again, and suddenly said: "So this is the reason why Takeda Shinichi invited Mitsunaga Momota to investigate privately."
After confirming these things, Tang Mu and Xiao Ai also walked out of the studio.
Outside, Officer Mumu was still knocking on the door one by one to summon everyone.
Takeda Ryuji, who was first called out, and his wife and daughters were standing in the corridor.
After that, it's primary school detective Ai Haihara's home court.
Tang Mu temporarily stepped aside and used the cat communicator to contact Xiao Ai.
Listening to the cat's voice, Xiao sighed., walked forward to the twin sisters, bent slightly and looked at Sae and Emo with a smile, and asked: "Did you say that Rob was a murderer in the afternoon? Why did you say that? ?"
The two sisters looked at each other for a while, and then looked at Haibara Ai again. Sister Sae was the first to speak: "The day Rob left, sister Misa asked us to help her ask Rob about his feelings."
Sister Emo continued with some indignation: "We asked him how he felt about Sister Misa. But Rob wrote something very outrageous on the paper!"
"What kind of words?"
Haiyuan Ai narrowed his eyes and asked.
"He said, go to hell!"
The twins said something very outrageous in unison.
Listening to the chat between Haibara Ai and the others, Takeda Yoko came over with some embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "Don't take it too seriously. It's probably because these two children are still too young and they made a mistake. ."
When talking about the latter, Takeda Yoko sighed a little: "If I had known, I wouldn't have let them see the business card."
Upon hearing this, Huiyuan Ai asked again: "What kind of business card is it?"
Takeda Yoko thought for a while, found a business card of Negishi Akio from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Ai.
On the back of the business card is Akio Negishi's Roman character "akio negishi".
"I found this business card in my wallet, and they kept asking me all day, who gave it to me, and where this person was." Takeda Yoko reached out and rubbed the heads of her two daughters. His expression still looked a little troubled.
Hui Yuan Ai nodded, stood up straight, turned to look at Tang Mu, and when she saw Tang Mu waving his claws at her, she followed her to the second floor of the factory.
Cat also needs to make some preparations first, so that he can be more convincing when explaining the truth of the case to everyone later.
The appointed time has arrived.
Everyone in the Takeda family gathered on the second floor of the warehouse.
"You said you already know the truth of this case, is that true?"
As soon as they went upstairs, Takeda Ryuuji was the first to ask.
After all, Haiyuan Ai is too young, so it is difficult not to make people suspicious.
"Of course it is true."
Xiao Ai put one hand in his pocket, his expression unchanged as before.
Her smile will only be shown to a few specific people.
Seeing Haihara Ai's attention-grabbing appearance, Mitsunaga Hyakuta felt mixed emotions in her heart.
Obviously he is the detective who was officially invited.
As a result, nothing had been accomplished when we got here. Even this was the first time he had visited the crime scene, and Haihara Ai had already claimed to have solved the case.
This is too fast!
Do you want to leave a way for your colleagues to survive?
How can one solve a case like this!
Mitsunaga Hyouta roared crazily in his heart, but after seeing cats and spider monsters fighting, he no longer had the courage to say any more unpleasant words.
"But, is the murderer really not the Spider Fairy? The door is locked from behind, and the transom is very small. No one can do this except the Spider Fairy, right?"
Takeda Ryuji still firmly believes that the murderer is the Spider Fairy.
"Of course someone can do this."
As soon as Haiyuan Ai said these words, everyone immediately looked at her in shock. They couldn't imagine how she did it.
Huihara Ai looked at everyone, and then explained: "The prisoner doesn't need to escape from here at all. Because when Mr. Xinyi was killed, the murderer was not in this house at all."
"This...how is this possible..."
"Then how did he kill?"
Takeda Ryuji looked in disbelief.
"Just use the puppet's fishing line." Xiao Ai spread out his right hand and continued: "The prisoner used fishing line, rope and thumbtacks to complete this secret room murder case."
"The method is also very simple. First tie the rope that will shrink when the loop is pulled to the straight beam, then wrap the rope around the transom, pull the rope out of the four corners, and fix it with fishing line with small loops at both ends; Thread another fishing line through the knot at the base of the rope loop, pass the fishing line through the center beam and pull it out of the window. The trap is complete."
Huiyuan Ai explained this, and pointed the flashlight at the transom: "You see, it looks like I restored it."
Only then did everyone see clearly that a circle of hemp rope was fixed around the transom.
If someone sticks his head out at this time and pulls the rope, the hemp rope can be tightened instantly and strangle the victim's neck.

"After that, we only need to attract Mr. Shinichi here, and then find a way to make him look out of the transom. Then pull the fishing line from the outside and shrink the rope loop next to the window, and then we can easily kill Mr. Shinichi."
Haihara Ai took back the flashlight and looked at the Takeda family again. She knew that they would definitely ask questions again.
As expected, Takeda Ryuji, who has a lot of roles, asked again.
"But brother, why did he lock the door here? And if the person he was dating asked him to look out the window, something would be wrong, right?"
"This problem is related to Mr. Shinichi's puppet. The reason why he locked the door is because the things he and Mr. Shinichi want to discuss during the interview are secrets that must not be known to anyone."
As Haihara Ai spoke, he reached out and took out a BB bomb from his pocket, and then said: "The reason why Mr. Shinichi sticks his head out of the window is becauseThat's because he heard some noise. That is, the murderer used an air gun to fire BB bullets outside to hit the glass. "
"Is that BB bullet used for this?!"
Mitsunaga Momota was a little shocked. The BB bullet she picked up when she poked the tire turned out to be a key clue!
pain! It hurts so much!
Haibara Ai ignored Mitsunaga Hyakutai's wailing, and said directly: "The reason why the murderer did this, I think, was to avenge Miss Misa who committed suicide three years ago. The murderer probably thought that Shinichi After the husband knew that Misa was not his biological daughter, he kept torturing her, and this is why Miss Misa committed suicide."
"You think so? Mr. Long Er?"
When Hui Yuan Ai's words fell, everyone present felt like they were struck by a bolt from the blue.
Takeda Yoko turned her head stiffly and looked at Takeda Ryuuji, saying in disbelief: "Ryuuji..."
Takeda Ryuuji closed his eyes deeply and lowered his head, sighing: "I'm sorry, Yoko. In fact, I also thought about telling you sooner or later. Misa is actually the daughter of me and my sister-in-law Kinuyo...I He is her biological father."
"What! It's impossible...how could such a thing happen..."
Takeda Yoko covered her mouth with her hands in shock, her eyes filled with difficulty in accepting this sudden event.
Everyone around him also looked at Takeda Ryuji with complicated expressions.
Takeda Ryuuji didn't dare to look back at his wife, he just lowered his head and explained: "It's true, that was before I met you. At that time, the hospital told Kinuyo that the eldest brother's body could not give birth to children. After that, she came to me, hoping that I could fulfill my eldest brother's long-standing wish to have a child."
"We only had an intimate relationship once. My eldest brother and I happened to have the same blood type, so it would never have been exposed. It's just that the doctor accidentally let it slip to my eldest brother three years ago! If it hadn't been for him! Misa and Kinuyo He won't die either!"
When talking about the latter part, Takeda Ryuuji's tone was filled with a bit of hatred.
Obviously he really hates that big-mouthed doctor.
If he hadn't been so talkative, there wouldn't have been so many tragedies in the Takeda family, and everyone would have been able to live a good life.
Takeda Yoko couldn't accept the reality for a while. She covered her head that suddenly hurt and fell backwards. Fortunately, Takeda Yuzo on the side supported her.
Still owe fifty-two thousand
