Hattori Heiji took the lead, Conan followed closely, and the two rushed into the warehouse one after another, found the stairs and headed straight to the second floor.

The only room on the second floor, the puppet making room, was locked. Just as Hattori Heiji was anxiously hitting the door, Conan hurriedly rushed to the two Takeda brothers who were running to ask for axes and other breaking tools.

This is a warehouse, and there are such tools on the first floor. Takeda Yuzo quickly brought an axe. After Hattori Heiji took it, he slashed towards the door lock with great force. Every time he swung it, he seemed to use all his strength.

After a few times, the wooden door was split open, and the door suddenly opened and Hattori Heiji's axe was swung empty, and he staggered for a moment.

But he had no time to care about this now, and he felt his heart beating so hard that he could hardly hear the sounds around him.

Hattori Heiji stood up with some trembling trembling, raised his head and looked into the room.

A corpse was entangled in a ball of white silk thread and hung in the center of the room. It was still wrapped with a rope around its neck, and its eyes were wide and lifeless.

Seeing this scene, Hattori Heiji didn't feel anything horrible, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it's not...

"Brother..."

The two brothers Takeda, who followed him, looked at the terrifying scene with horror. They were eating hot pot and singing together just now... The elder brother who was drinking wine was suddenly hung here, and no one could accept it.

They came to their senses and hurriedly urged the maids who came with them to call an ambulance.

"No need, just call the police. The ambulance can no longer save him." Just as the two brothers of Takeda were stunned, Hattori Heiji had already checked Takeda Shinichi's condition and spoke to stop them from doing nothing.

"What are you talking nonsense?" Yuzo Takeda was a little excited and wanted to step forward.

"No one is allowed to come in. This is the crime scene and needs protection." Hattori Heiji raised his palm and stopped him.

"Murder?" Ryuji Takeda looked surprised.

"Yes, the invitation letter I received before coming here said: Tonight, there will be a living puppet that will be tragically poisoned by spiders."

"Someone predicted this murder in advance. From the literal meaning of the letter, something should have happened before. I originally came here to stop the murder and investigate the previous incident."

"Are you..." Takeda Ryuji looked at the dark-skinned young man in a little shocked and suspiciously.

"Hatsuke Heiji, a detective who is quite famous in Kansai."

"Ah, I've heard of you." Takeda Yuzo confirmed his identity, "But there is one thing I don't quite understand, why can that little brother go in?"

Hattori Heiji looked back at Conan who was already looking for evidence inside, his face froze and explained with a smirk that this was his little assistant.

"But, if this is a murder case, how will the murderer escape from this room?"

"It's the window over there, I guess the murderer may have used ropes or something."

"This is simply impossible. The winding window can only be passed by the children at most." Ryuji Takeda shook his head.

"This... I just came in with an axe because the room was locked. If an adult cannot get out of the transverse window... wouldn't this... a secret room kill?"

Hattori Heiji and Conan both looked serious.

"You don't understand this." An old voice suddenly rang out. "In fact, it was the Spider Fairy who crawled into the warehouse through the air window and strangled the child Xinyi to death with a rope, just to punish him for building the warehouse in this place."

The person who spoke was the old lady Takeda Tomoe who had never appeared. She had white hair, a short and hunched figure, and she was a bit gloomy when she said this.

"So you better be careful. If you detectives say this is a murder case, you will definitely be cursed by the Spider Fairy..."

After saying these singular words, she turned around and went downstairs.

"What is the spider fairy she just mentioned?" Hattori Heiji asked curiously.

Takeda Ryuji talked about this legend circulating in Puppet Ridge.

The general idea is that a beautiful woman would ask passers-by whether she thinks that heaven exists and whether she wants to go. Passers-by are often confused by beauty, subconsciously answer and think, and then disappear in the woods.

When a puppet master heard about this, he made a doll and put it on the road. The doll naturally would not answer. The woman impatiently showed the spider's original form to attack the doll, and then was shot by the puppet master with a rocket. The spider fled in a hurry and was finally found dead in the nest.

The villagers were afraid of being cursed, so they built a ancestral hall at the place where the spider died and worshiped it, honoring it as a spider fairy.

The reason why Mrs. Zhihui said it was a curse because the ancestral hall was in the warehouse at that time. Takeda Shin-ichi knocked down the ancestral hall and built the warehouse.

Three years after the warehouse was built, his wife and daughter Misa died in the room, wrapped in silk threads used to control puppets like spider webs.

Three years later, just a few days ago, Mr. Nekikiri died here.

"It seems that someone is using this legend to kill people." Hattori Heiji said after hearing this.

"Speaking of this, the cemetery where Robert went was the place where spider fairies appeared in the past." Ryuji Takeda mentioned inadvertently.

"What!"

Hattori Heiji's face changed drastically, and even with his skin color, he could see that he was obviously pale. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran away, and Conan hurriedly followed behind.

After Hattori Heiji ran out of the warehouse, he rushed directly to the place where he parked his motorcycle, kicked his footrest roughly, threw the helmet that was in trouble to the ground, and straddled it.

He took out the key and hurriedly inserted it into the keyhole, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't insert it, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"Heiji, what are you doing?"

"Shut up! I didn't see that I was busy, dodge it." Hattori Heiji irritably pushed the person who was close to him with his arm, and kept muttering, "Damn it, why can't I insert it?"

"Don't worry, I'll do it."

Hattori Heiji angrily hammered the front of the car with his fist, then handed the key to the person beside him. After the man took it, he gently inserted the key into the keyhole.

"Okay, now you can start."

"Um."

Hattori Heiji twisted the accelerator and the motorcycle suddenly roared.

He shook his whole body with the car, and then suddenly felt like he was breathing, letting go of the hand holding the handlebar, and the car turned off...

"Wa... Kaya?" Hattori Heiji realized something was wrong and looked at the people around him in disbelief.

"It's me, what's wrong?" Toyama and Ye You looked at Hattori Heiji with a hint of timidity. They didn't know what was going on, which made him so impatient.

"Why are you here?"

"Just just now, Brother Shuiquan told me that you have something to tell me, so I came here."

"No, I mean, weren't you going to see the scenery with that foreigner?"

"What do you mean? What do you mean by me and that foreigner went to see the scenery?"

"Then where have you been?"

"I went with him to worship Misa, and then looked at the scenery by the bridge and relaxed."

"So you're going to see the scenery?"

"What the hell is going on with you?"

"You are a girl who drives outside to see the scenery with a man in the middle of the night. You ask me what's going on?" Hattori Heiji shouted, "Do you know how dangerous it is?"
