"Big brother…Big brother!"
Takeda Ryuji and Takeda Yuzo cried out in shock.
Suddenly, Takeda Ryuji came back to his senses and said," Right, call the ambulance quickly.”
" There's no need to call an ambulance. Just call the police." Hattori calmly stepped forward and touched Takeda Shinichi's cheek." His body is already cold, which means that the victim has been dead for at least an hour."”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Takeda Yuzo couldn't believe it and wanted to rush in.
" No one is allowed to come in," Heiji Hattori shouted." This might be a murder scene."”
"Murder?" asked Takeda Ryuji.
" Yes," Heiji Hattori nodded affirmatively and explained," The letter I received said that there would be a living puppet being killed by a spider tonight. It could be seen that someone had already predicted that there would be a murder.”
"From the literal point of view, it means that such a thing has happened before. "That's why I wanted to come here to stop today's murder and solve the previous cases. I didn't expect the tragedy to still happen," Hattori Heiji walked to the door calmly.
"You... Who exactly are you!" Takeda Ryuji was shocked when he heard Hattori's reasoning.
" My name is Heiji Hattori. I'm a rather famous detective in Kansai," Heiji Hattori said humbly.
However, no one looked down on him anymore.
Takeda Yuzo seemed to have thought of something and said," I remember now. There's a very young but shrewd young detective in Osaka."
"However, I don't understand. How did that little brother get in?”
Looking in the direction of Takeda's three fingers, he saw Conan observing something in the room with a flashlight.
"Ahaha…" Touching his head in embarrassment, Heiji Hattori said," This is my assistant, right?"
" But, if this is a murder case, how did the murderer leave this place? Even if there is a window over there, at most, it can only allow children to pass through," Takeda Ryuji raised a crucial question.
"What?!" Heiji Hattori and Conan were shocked and looked out the window.
As expected, the window was not big at all. At most, it could only let a child out.
"Actually, the Spider Fairy used its six long legs to climb into this warehouse and strangled Shinichi to death with our rope. It was to punish Shinichi for building the warehouse here, so you'd better be careful. If you detectives say this is a murder case, you will definitely be cursed by the Spider Fairy.”
It was unknown when the 75-year-old Takeda Tomoe arrived.
After glancing at Takeda Shinichi through the door, he waved his hand and walked downstairs.
No matter what, Takeda Shinichi was his son. Now that he was dead, she must not feel good about it.
Looking at Takeda Tomie's back, Hattori asked Takeda Ryuji curiously," What is the Spider Fairy she just mentioned?"”
"This is a story that has been passed down here for a long time. Legend has it that there used to be a beautiful woman who looked like a fairy in Puppet Ridge. As long as someone passed by, she would stop them and ask them, do you think Kingdom of Heaven exists? Do you want to go?"
"At this time, the people who passed by were tempted by this woman's beauty and answered without thinking, yes. After that, they disappeared into the forest and never came back.”
"A puppet master heard about this and thought of a way. He placed a puppet that looked like a human on the road and waited for an opportunity to move. Not long after, the beautiful woman came out and asked him. Of course, the puppet would not answer. The woman was getting impatient. Finally, she revealed her spider form and began to attack the puppet.”
" The Puppet Master saw this and shot out a fire arrow from the dark. Later, the spider escaped into the forest with its whole body covered in fire. The Puppet Master followed it and found that the spider and the little spider were both burned in their nest."
" Later, the villagers were afraid of being cursed because of it, so they built a temple there and worshipped it as the Spider Fairy-"
"From then on, this place was renamed Puppet Ridge.”
Since it wasn't a secret, Takeda Ryuji told him directly.
Rolling his eyes, Hattori was speechless." It's just a legend after all this time. What does that have to do with him being cursed?"
" That's because the Shrine was built in this warehouse." Cold sweat broke out on Takeda Yuzo's forehead.
"At that time, after my brother inherited my father's position as a puppet master, he ignored the opposition of the villagers and built this warehouse.”
" Three years after the warehouse was built, Big Brother's daughter, Misha, and his wife, Kenyo, were found hanging in this place. Their bodies had turned into a spider nest. It was a tragic sight." As he spoke, a strange look flashed across Takeda Ryuji's eyes.
" Three years later, there was the tragedy of Negishi being strangled to death by a rope. When Negishi died, his hands and feet were wrapped around the rope used to control the puppet, just like my big brother. The scene was like being entangled by spider silk.”
"I see. That's why this place is called the 'home of spiders in Puppet Ridge'." A hint of understanding flashed in Conan's eyes.
" In other words, someone used this legend to carry out a series of murder plots," Heiji Hattori continued.
" Oh, right." Takeda Ryuji thought of something." Robber and the others went to the cemetery. Legend has it that the Spider Fairy once appeared there."
" What?!"
Hattori Heiji's expression changed drastically.
" Don't be so shocked, Heiji." Conan looked at Heiji Hattori with interest.
"Don't forget, Xiaolan and the others aren't going alone. Don't worry, even though I'm not sure how strong he is, ordinary criminals are definitely not his match."
He seemed to recall the day he first met Ye Tianming. He only paid attention to the four criminals for a few seconds, and Ye Tianming easily took care of them.
