Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

Yin Jiu was also not idle. He thought he could have a pleasant hunt for Akai Shuichi with Gin in Tokyo, but he unexpectedly received an invitation from Hattori Heiji first.

"It looks like I have to go to Osaka during this period." Yin Jiu looked at Gin with regret.

There was no way he could ignore Yin Shuli's clues.

"If Bourbon finds Rye during this period, please remember to share the voice room with me."

Yin Jiu left the car after saying this.

Only Vodka felt a little regretful when he saw Glenfiddich not turning back. "Brother, are we still going to the Chinese restaurant we booked?"

"Don't go."

"Those restaurants are closed and located on the upper floors, so they are easily blocked." Gin had a cigarette between his lips. "The rats are looking for us like crazy now. These places are not safe enough."

Vodka: “…” Then why didn’t you say that when Glenfiddich was here?

Vodka, who accidentally saw his elder brother being partial to one corner, looked at Gin in disbelief. Didn't he say not to invest too much affection in Glenfiddich?

After getting off the car, Yin Jiu immediately took a taxi towards Tottori Prefecture.

Hattori and Kazuha had already gotten into the car that Conan was in.

"You actually let Yin Jiu take a taxi here by herself?" Conan almost yelled at the two people sitting next to him, "Why did you make an appointment at this time? Yin Jiu just got out of the hospital a while ago. What if something happens on the way?"

"Oh, don't be such a pessimist! Isn't it just a coincidence that someone asked me to come here to investigate?" Hattori Heiji swung the letter sent by the client with one hand, "The other party paid 50,000 yen in advance. I saw that the place was very close to the area that Yin Jiu wanted to investigate. Anyway, he would come sooner or later, so I called him over first."

"Pay in advance?" Conan also knew that the reality could not be changed. After hearing what Hattori Heiji said, he immediately moved closer to the letter of commission.

"Yes, so there is no way to refuse." Hattori Heiji raised the commission a little higher, deliberately not letting Conan see it, and pointed on the map with evil taste, "Look, the place Yin Jiu wants to check is right next to that house."

"So where are you going...?" Conan tried hard to recall the information that Hattori Heiji had told him last time. It seemed to be a place name with a lot of local legends.

"The Spider Hermitage at Puppet Peak. It is said that there lives a beautiful lady who is as pretty as a fairy at Puppet Peak. She will stop the travelers passing by and ask them questions." Hattori had obviously done his homework. When he saw Conan's confused expression, he explained with gestures.

"They all say that they ask some very strange questions, like 'Do you think there is a heaven?' 'What is that place like?' 'Do you want to go see it?' and so on."

"The travelers were all bewitched by her beauty and answered 'yes', but were taken deep into the forest, never to return."

"Later, a puppet master came up with a plan. He made a puppet and placed it on the mountain path to lure the woman, while he hid himself and observed the situation."

"The woman really appeared and asked the puppet those questions, but the puppet didn't answer. As I watched, the woman turned into a big spider with red eyes and two long fangs on its mouth."

"She revealed her true form and attacked the puppet. When the puppet master saw this, he took out the rockets he had brought and kept shooting at the giant spider."

"The big spider was covered in flames and screamed as it fled into the forest. The puppeteer chased after it and found that the big spider and the little spider had been burned to death in their own nest."

"After that, fearing the spider's curse, the local villagers built a small temple in the cave to worship it."

"What? This sounds like a boring legend. You're not saying the clue is in this nunnery, are you?" Conan was speechless. "Isn't it said that Yin Jiu's mother is a scientific researcher? She shouldn't believe such an outrageous thing, right?"

"Maybe they are just here to investigate?" Hattori Heiji put his hand on Conan's ear. "I heard that the body of the spider was also buried down there. If Yin Jiu's mother is a scientific researcher, maybe she is here to extract samples."

"That's possible." Conan nodded in agreement, but soon shook his head, "But how could there be such a monster?"

Maori Kogoro was quite close to the others, and was puzzled until he heard this, "The Spider An you mentioned is very close to the Takeda family? But isn't the Takeda family called the Spider Mansion?"

"Spider Mansion?" Hattori Heiji obviously had not found this document. He looked at the letter of authorization carefully again and found that only the Takeda family was mentioned on it.

"You mean the old site of Spider An?" The driver, Takeda Yuzo, was the younger brother of Takeda Shinichi, who had commissioned the Mori family. He was a little surprised to hear the discussion in the back seat. "The old site of Spider An is indeed very close to my home, but ten years ago, after my brother inherited my father's business as a puppeteer, he expanded the ancestral home and converted Spider An into a warehouse."

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji looked up in surprise, "Doesn't that mean Yin Jiu's mother's belongings are in your house now?"

"We didn't find any objects when we demolished the temple," Takeda Yuzo's voice was full of confusion. "The villagers were very opposed at the time, but my brother insisted on rebuilding it and said something like 'If the spider monster really appears, I will use a puppet to repel it.'"

"But unfortunately, three years after the warehouse was completed, my brother's daughter and sister-in-law hanged themselves in the warehouse one after another. And both of them were discovered too late, and their bodies were covered with spider webs."

"Then... is it a spider monster?" Mao Lilan hugged herself in horror.

"I don't know. Two years after this incident, Mr. Negishi, who took good care of my brother, also hanged himself in the warehouse." Takeda Yuzo shook his head regretfully. "This happened one after another, and a bad rumor spread in the village. It said that our house is the Spider Mansion and you will be cursed if you get close to it."

"So the reason you invited me here this time is..." Maori Kogoro suddenly realized the main plot of this time, "Do you suspect that their deaths were intentional?"

"Yes, to be precise, we invited Mr. Mori here to investigate Mr. Negishi's death. This incident has caused panic among the locals. My brother is also unwilling to accept that the person who has been taking care of him has passed away suddenly without any clear reason."

"But what if the investigation reveals that it is really the spider that is to blame?"

Mao Lilan trembled.

Yuanshan Heye had already heard it once, but calmly patted Mao Lilan's shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter. There are so many of us together. And isn't she a great beauty? If she doesn't reveal her true appearance, it shouldn't be scary, right?"

“But…” But the nature of this is completely different!

Ran Mao Li still felt hairy all over. The Takeda family's villa was getting closer and closer to them. Suddenly, she saw the door of the Takeda house.

An extremely handsome mixed-race boy in black stood there. His extremely pale skin and pure black, two extreme colors colliding, extended a sense of evil that appeared at the moment of demons at dusk.

Mao Lilan suddenly felt her heart skip a beat.

"Yin Jiu?"
