The Man of Conan Leaves Work on Time at the Winery

"The Takeda family is the largest family on Puppet Ridge. They made a living by making handmade puppets very early, and the puppets of the Takeda family were still very popular in the past."

"It's just that the number of people who bought puppets gradually decreased, and the days of the Takeda family were getting worse day by day. The current head of the Takeda family was probably the head of the household, right? After Shinichi Takeda took charge of the Takeda family, they gradually began to prosper..."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji asked the driver uncle in doubt: "Suddenly started to make a fortune? Did that Takeda Shinichi lead the Takeda family to engage in other industries?"

If what the driver uncle said was true, then what he said was different from what Jiang Yuan heard.

"No, as far as I know, the Takeda family still sells handmade puppets for a living, but the puppets made by Shinichi Takeda are very popular, and the supply is always in short supply."

"That's why Takeda Shinichi's craftsmanship is particularly good. Why do you look puzzled?"

"The problem lies in the craftsmanship..." The driver uncle noticed that the signal light turned red and then slowly stepped on the brakes, then turned to look at Hattori Heiji in the back seat:

"My family happens to live near Takeda's house in Puppet Ridge. Before that, our family also collected several puppets made by Grandpa Shinichi Takeda and his father."

"Originally, after the Takeda family's business gradually improved, I felt the same way, so I went to the Takeda family to buy it."

"To tell you the truth, if Takeda Shinichi really becomes famous one day, the puppets in my collection might be very valuable."

The driver uncle chuckled, although he himself didn't really believe that this kind of thing happened, after all, it seems that there is no such thing as a master puppet maker in this world...

After laughing, the uncle driver changed back to the original puzzled look and continued: "But when I took the custom-made puppets home and compared them with the ones I collected before, I found that the puppets made by Takeda Shinichi were the same as those made by his father and grandfather. It's even worse..."

The signal light turned green, the driver scratched his head and continued to drive towards Takeda's house: "And it's not just me who thinks that, after seeing the three puppets put together..."

"And I also heard that the puppets made by Takeda Shinichi are all very expensive now..."

"Of course, these are nothing. The most important thing is that several strange things have happened to the Takeda family in recent years, making their family famous on Puppet Ridge."

"Of course I don't think this kind of reputation is really a good thing."

"Strange thing? What kind of strange thing happened?" Hattori Heiji asked, thinking of the inexplicable invitation letter, he vaguely felt that he had found the purpose of the client sending him the invitation letter.

"That's right, every year in the Takeda family, people either die unexpectedly or commit suicide at home..."

"It's just that this can't be said to be a strange thing. At most, it's just that the Takeda family is unlucky..." Hattori Heiji, as a detective, has actually seen many murders over the years.

So simple death can't be called a strange thing for him, and it's okay to say that it's unlucky.

"No, it's mainly because people around Puppet Ridge have rumors that the death of these people is very strange. As for the strange method, I haven't mentioned it in detail."

"But the neighbors around now call the Takeda family the home of the spiders on Puppet Ridge!"

"The Spider House in Puppet Ridge?"

"Spider House in Puppet Ridge?!"

Hattori Heiji in the back seat repeated the nickname with Toyama and Ye in unison, but Hattori Heiji's tone was doubtful with a little inquiry, while Toyama and Ye's tone was tinged with fear.

That's right, this outrageous little girl with high combat effectiveness is as afraid of those ghosts and ghosts as her best friend Mao Lilan.

Fighters who are obviously waiting for three or five strong men who can't get close are always afraid of these inexplicable things...

If the prisoners who were arrested and imprisoned after being beaten by them knew about it, they would cry in the prison!

Jiang Yuan, who was sitting in the front, always felt that Hattori Heiji's focus seemed to be a little off. This kind of weird nickname is very in line with the characteristics of the island country, but didn't the driver just say more important clues...

"Instead of caring about the Spider House on Puppet Ridge, why is Takeda Shinichi's craftsmanship far inferior to that of the previous generation, but the business is getting better?"

"And the puppets he made himself are even in short supply? But if the puppets made by Takeda Shinichi are so expensive, uncle, you still bought them home?"

Jiang Yuan looked curiously at the uncle driver who drove the car. Jiang Yuan couldn't be more clear about what was in Takeda Shinichi's puppet.

This uncle now looks like he bought it with a red face. Could it be that this uncle driver is also a hidden local tyrant?

I heard that the farmers in the island country seem to be very rich...I mean the kind of big landowners.

"Of course it's impossible. Thinking about it, I can't possibly be that rich." The driver uncle shook his head without looking sideways: "To be honest, the puppets made by Shinichi Takeda are even cheaper than those made by his father. "

"After all, his craftsmanship is indeed inferior to that of his father. This is also a fact. I always feel that this news seems to be a rumor..."

"Ha... I'm starting to be interested in the affairs of the Takeda family, Jiang Yuan, let us have a good competition! Let's compete to solve the mystery of the Takeda family first!"

Hattori Heiji was suddenly full of energy, sat up in the back seat and impassionedly challenged Jiang Yuan!

???

Jiang Yuan is completely fascinated... Hattori Heiji seems to be very keen to compete with others in reasoning. Before, he ran all the way from Osaka to Tokyo just to compare his reasoning with Kudo Shinichi?

Just because I want to see if Kudo Shinichi, who was named after himself, is not ostentatious... This person is really motivated...

Chapter 268 Don't Park Your Car

"I'm not a detective, I'm just a freelance writer... If you want to compete, you should go back to Tokyo to find Uncle Mori..." Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes, besides, the Takeda family would like you to be a detective in their house Are you going to expose people's old background...

The high school student detectives like Ke Xuejie are more or less self-aware... Each of them is very curious, such as Kudo Shinichi who was beaten into a primary school student by a sap.

"That stupid detective? Let's forget it..." Hattori Heiji curled his lips, the most insider of Kudo Shinichi's identity, he knew too much about Mori Kogoro.

This middle-aged greasy old man's reputation today is entirely due to his son-in-law secretly injecting anesthesia injections and then taking the injections on his behalf...

Out of his promise to Conan to keep his identity secret, Hattori Heiji couldn't tell Jiang Yuan the truth directly, so he could only look at Jiang Yuan angrily, and then languished.

Jiang Yuan's brain is usually very useful. Why is Kudo so arrogant at the scene and has not been exposed yet?

Hattori Heiji began to doubt Jiang Yuan's reasoning level...

It's also true that in the later stage of the plot, basically anyone with better reasoning ability can find out that Conan is Kudo Shinichi. Only Brother Ginjiu forgot about Kudo Shinichi because he had killed too many people and let him escape.
