"This is indeed the current situation of our family." Takeda Yuzo, who was the driver, suddenly interrupted, "There have been a series of unfortunate events in recent years, so people nearby have given our family a nickname, saying that we are the Spider House in Puppet Ridge."

"There are rumors that if nothing happens, it's better not to get close to our house. Do you understand?" He held a cigarette in his mouth, looking indifferent.

"Spider House in Puppet Ridge..."

Ran Maori, Toyama and Ha couldn't hide in their boyfriend's arms like Azuko Suzuki, and could only grab each other's hands to gain a slight sense of security.

It was getting late and the sun was about to set, but the group was marching towards the Takeda family with such a terrifying name. For a moment, everyone lost interest in talking.

...

Several people arrived at Takeda's house, and a young-looking woman in the courtyard was standing there waiting for everyone.

After Robert greeted her, she also introduced herself - Takeda Yoko, the wife of Takeda's second wife.

The conversation was quite relaxed at the beginning, but when Robert asked about Takeda Misa, the atmosphere became a little depressed.

"Miss Mesa passed away three years ago?" Robert seemed a little excited. "What the hell is going on?"

"About two or three days after you left three years ago, she hanged her on the second floor of the puppet house." Takeda Yoko sighed, "After she committed suicide, my sister-in-law, Misa's mother, also hanged her in the same place."

"It's not just that. Just a few days ago, Mr. Nenkiri, who had always taken good care of my elder brother, was hung in the warehouse again. At that time, our family was out. I never thought that he found his body as soon as he came back..."

Her face was not good, she was obviously a little listless, and the fatigue on her face was almost overflowing. I think this series of misfortunes made her difficult to bear.

The three brothers of the Takeda family are Takeda Nobuichi, Takeda Ryuji and Takeda Yuzo. Now the eldest wife and daughter are hanging, so she has to take care of all the big and small things in the family, and she has to take care of the elderly old lady Takeda Tomoe.

Especially before, she had not had much experience in taking care of the whole family like this.

She and her husband Ryuji Takeda have been living in Tokyo. This time she took advantage of the holiday to return to her hometown, but she didn't expect to encounter Nekishi's suicide.

"Is this the famous mystery writer Mr. Gu?"

Just after several people learned about the general situation from Takeda Yoko, Takeda Shin-ichi appeared.

"Yes." Tan Shuiquan nodded slightly coldly.

"Haha, I'm really troubled you this time. You're so worried."

Although Takeda Nobuichi was a little unhappy with his attitude, he felt that this was more reliable. He leaned closer to Tani Mizuto, covered his mouth with his hands, and whispered:

"I feel ashamed to say that I suspect that Mr. Nekiki's death was done by someone in my family, so if you find the murderer, please tell me first."

Tani Mizuto did not comment, and Takeda Nobuichi didn't care. He turned around and warmly welcomed everyone.

"It seems that the number of people is a little more than expected?" Takeda Shinichi glanced around and scratched his head. With his appearance, people couldn't help but think of a monkey.

Hattori Heiji was careless and didn't think there was any problem. Only Toyama and Ye himself looked embarrassed.

"Ah, Robert, you're here too. Long time no see you. I remember you came here three years ago during the summer vacation, right?"

"Well, I'm here to thank you for what happened three years ago." Robert was very depressed, and his tone was not as lively as before.

"Haha, don't be polite, just treat this place as your own home. Saue and Ei are closest to you, and they are also going home this time."

Just as they were talking, two girls who looked exactly the same, appeared. They looked about the same age as Conan and were both at the age of elementary school students.

Seeing this, Robert stepped forward to greet the two of them, but the twin sisters had no expression on their faces and said a word to Robert in unison - the murderer.

"He came here to kill someone again."

"So scary."

The two girls who looked exactly the same made the words of each person shudder.

Puppet Ridge... Spider House... Twins who look like dolls...

"Aquan... it feels a little weird." Suzuki Yuanko was a little scared and hugged Tani Mizumizu's arm.

"Don't worry, I'm here, it's okay." Gu Shuiquan gently patted her hand.

"Don't talk nonsense here!" Takeda Yoko shouted at her two daughters, and the twin sisters ran away in exclaiming.

"I'm so sorry." Takeda Yoko said to Robert with an apology.

"Ah, it's okay." Robert forced a smile.

...

Such a strange atmosphere was finally diluted by the excitement at dinner. Everyone either crossed their legs, knelt at the table, ate hot pot, sang... and drank wine.

Of course, because Maori Kogoro, the drunkard, did not come, only Takeda Nobuichi and Takeda Yusan drank enthusiastically.

"Why are the only two of us half a fish?" the twins complained in unison.

"I'm sorry, my mother bought the fish according to the number of people. I didn't expect that there would be two more customers, so you can just give it a try." Takeda Yoko comforted her.

"well……"

"well……"

"That, give them my fish."

Toyama and Ye spoke a little embarrassedly. Although Heiji came only after receiving the invitation letter, it was obvious that the people from the Takeda family did not know that they were coming, so the two extra guests were naturally the two of them...

"What's wrong, I can't finish your fish, then I'll help you eat it." Before Hattori Heiji finished speaking, the chopsticks had already reached into the plate of Toyama Heiye's plate, picked up her fish, and put it directly into his mouth.

Yuanshan and Ye looked at him with a speechless look on his face and ate their fish with skillful techniques.

"You guys can eat this one."

Suzuki Yuanko put her fish in front of the two little girls together with the small plate that served the fish. She had thought that the twins seemed a bit strange before, but now it seems that they are just normal children.

"Oh, it's great."

"Thank you sister~"

Suzuki Yuanko smiled, picked up her rice bowl and muttered in a low voice:

"But I really want to eat fish, what should I do~"

As soon as she finished speaking, she put half of the fish in her bowl with a pair of chopsticks, and then she started eating happily.

“Hehe, delicious ~”

Toyama and Ye looked at the two people opposite each other, then turned to look at Hattori Heiji, who was very delicious to eat fish around him. He suddenly became angry and put the bowls and chopsticks.

"I'm stuffed."

"Hey? He Ye, why are you full so quickly? Don't you eat a lot in the past?"

Yuanshan and Ye's forehead bulged with blue veins, clenched their fists, and tried to restrain their anger.

This is in someone else's house, and it is an uninvited villain. It is not easy to cause trouble here, let it go, let it go...

"Really, leftovers are not a good habit. I'll help you eat them."

"I'm so rude, I'll go out for some breath first." Yuanshan and Ye said a word, got up and left.

"Hmm? What's wrong with her? Why does it look weird?" Hattori Heiji held the bowl and looked at Toyama and Ha's back for no reason.
