Chapter 168
"This is indeed the current situation of our family." Takeda Yuzo, who was acting as the driver, suddenly interjected, "There have been a series of unfortunate incidents in the past few years, so people nearby have given our family a nickname, saying We are the spider home of Golem Ridge."

"There are also rumors that it's best not to come near our house if nothing happens, do you understand?" He was smoking a cigarette with an indifferent expression on his face.

"Spider House in Puppet Ridge..."

Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha couldn't hide in her boyfriend's arms like Suzuki Sonoko, they could only hold each other's hands to gain a little sense of security.

It was getting later and later, the sun was about to set, but a group of people were heading towards the Takeda House with such a terrible name, and everyone lost interest in talking for a while.

……

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

After Robert greeted her, she also introduced herself—Yoko Takeda, the wife of the second child of the Takeda family.

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

"Miss Meisha passed away three years ago?" Robert looked a little excited, "What's going on?"

"About two or three days after you left three years ago, she hanged herself on the second floor of the puppet house." Yoko Takeda sighed, "Not long after she committed suicide, my sister-in-law, Misa's mother, was also at the same time. hanged in one place."

"That's not all. A few days ago, Mr. Negishi, who always took good care of my elder brother, hanged himself in the warehouse again. At that time, our family went out. I never thought that when I came back, I found his body..."

Her complexion was not good, and she was obviously a little depressed, and the exhaustion on her face was almost overflowing. Thinking about this series of misfortunes, she was also very hard to bear.

The three brothers of the Takeda family are Shinichi Takeda, Ryuji Takeda and Yuzo Takeda. Now the eldest wife and daughter have all hanged themselves, so she has to take care of all the affairs of the family, and she has to take care of the old lady Takeda Zhihui.

Especially since she didn't have much experience in taking care of a large family like this before.

She and her husband Takeda Ryuji have been living in Tokyo, and this time they went back to their hometown during the vacation, but they didn't expect that Negishi committed suicide.

"This is Mr. Gu, a famous reasoning writer, right?"

Just after several people learned the general situation of the matter from Takeda Yoko, Takeda Shinichi appeared.

"En." Gu Shuiquan nodded slightly indifferently.

"Haha, I really troubled you this time, please take care of me."

Although Takeda Shinichi was a little displeased with his attitude, he felt that this was more reliable. He approached Gu Shuiquan, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered:

"Ashamed to say, I suspect that someone in my family did the death of Mr. Negishi, so if you find the murderer, please tell me first."

Gu Shuiquan was noncommittal, Takeda Shinichi didn't care, turned around and warmly entertained everyone.

"It seems that there are a little more people than expected?" Takeda Nobuichi glanced around and scratched his head. Coupled with his appearance, people can't help but think of monkeys.

Hattori Heiji was careless and didn't think there was a problem, only Toyama and Ye himself looked embarrassed.

"Ah, Robert, you're here too. Long time no see. I remember you came during the summer vacation three years ago, 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. Sae and Emi are the closest to you, and they are also going home this time."

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

When Robert saw this, he stepped forward to greet the two, but the twin sisters remained expressionless, and uttered one word to Robert in unison, murderer.

"He's here to kill again."

"very scary."

The two little girls who looked exactly alike said something to each other, which made the people present shudder.

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

"Aquan...it feels a little weird." Suzuki Sonoko was a little scared, and hugged Gu Shuiquan's arm.

"Don't worry, I'm here, I'm fine." Gu Shuiquan patted her hand lightly.

"You two don't talk nonsense here!" Takeda Yoko yelled at her two daughters, and the twin sisters ran away screaming.

"I'm really sorry." Yoko Takeda said to Robert with an apologetic face.

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

……

Such a strange atmosphere was finally diluted by the excitement at dinner time. Everyone was sitting cross-legged or kneeling at the table, eating hot pot, singing... and drinking wine.

Of course, because the alcoholic Mori Kogoro did not come, only Shinichi Takeda and Yuzo Takeda drank enthusiastically.

"Why are we the only two half fish?" the twins complained in unison.

"I'm sorry, mom bought fish according to the number of people. I didn't expect that there would be two more customers, so you can just make it." Takeda Yoko reassured.

"Ugh……"

"Ugh……"

"Well, give them my fish."

Toyama and Ye said a little embarrassedly, although Heiji only came after receiving the invitation letter, obviously the Takeda family didn't know that they were coming, so the two extra guests were naturally the two of them... …

"What's the matter, Kazuha, if you can't finish your fish, then I'll help you eat it." Before Hattori Heiji finished speaking, the chopsticks had already reached into Toyama Kazuha's plate and snatched her away. The fish, sent directly into the mouth.

Yuan Shan and Ye looked at him speechlessly as he ate his own fish skillfully.

"You can eat this."

Suzuki Sonoko put her fish and the small dish containing the fish in front of the two little girls. She thought the twins seemed a little weird before, but now it seems that they are just normal children.

"Oh, great."

"Thank you sister~"

Suzuki Sonoko smiled, picked up his job bowl and muttered in a "whispering voice" as if pointing:

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

As soon as she finished speaking, a pair of chopsticks put half of the fish into her bowl, and then she began to eat happily.

"Hey, delicious~"

Yuan Shan and Ye looked at the two people on the opposite side, and then turned their heads to look at Hattori Heiji, who was eating fish and eating delicious food, and suddenly became angry, and put the dishes and chopsticks away.

"I'm stuffed."

"Eh? He Ye, why are you full so quickly? Don't you usually eat a lot?"

The veins on Yuan Shan and Ye's foreheads bulged, and they clenched their fists, trying to restrain their anger.

This is someone else's house. It's an uninvited guest. It's not good to make trouble here. Take it easy, take it easy...

"Really, leftovers are not a good habit. Let me help you clean up."

"Excuse me, I'll go out to get some air first." Yuan Shan and Ye left after saying a word, got up and left.

"Huh? What's wrong with her? Why does she look weird?" Hattori Heiji held the bowl and looked at Toyama Kazuha's back inexplicably.

Mao Lilan and Conan looked at Gu Shuiquan over there, and then at Heiji Hattori who was chewing and swallowing as if nothing had happened, and couldn't help the corners of their mouths twitching...
