Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 166 The Unsolved Case of the Takeda Family
Looking at the angry Maori Kogoro, Rei kindly patted him on the shoulder. His sunny smile made Maori Kogoro calm down a little:
"Okay, okay, Mr. Maori, don't worry too much. Mr. Maori will focus on handling the commissions later, and I will play around with them~"

"Well, that's true." When Kogoro Maori heard this, he felt that it was not impossible, so he curled his lips and stopped getting angry.

Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief and quietly approached Rei: "Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Lie smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing. Mr. Mao Li just doesn't like others interfering with his commission."

"Is that so?" Hattori Heiji looked strange, "But Mr. Lin, don't you always get involved?"

The fierce smile froze on his face.

hiss……

What Xiaoping said seems to make some sense?

Hiroki glanced at Rei silently.

Uncle Lie really has no clue in his mind...

Conan's mouth twitched and he looked at Hattori Heiji speechlessly.

Mr. Lin was obviously just helping out for free, so how could you say that about him?
All the way to the client's home, the atmosphere on the truck was extremely harmonious...

……

The client who lives deep in the mountains is named Takeda, and it seems that he has lived in this area for a long time.

The client, Shinichi Takeda, is the eldest son of the Takeda family. He is a puppet maker himself and his works often sell for sky-high prices.

The second son of the Takeda family, Takeda Ryuji, is a company employee working in the city. He happened to be at home on holiday this time, and his wife Takeda Yoko received everyone.

There is only one old grandmother in the family, Chie Takeda, who is already seventy-one years old.

The person who drove the truck to bring the others in was the third son of the Takeda family, Takeda Yuzo.

Mori and others got to know the people headed by Takeda.

Conan rolled his eyes when he heard the names of the three brothers of the Takeda family. "These names are arranged in numbers..."

It's really easy to get.

"That's great, Mr. Maori. If it's you, you can definitely solve my problem..."

Shinichi Takeda was very happy about the arrival of Kogoro Mori, and enthusiastically brought him into his studio to discuss the details of the commission.

The others stayed in the reception room for the time being, and were mainly entertained by Takeda Yoko and Takeda Ryuji.

It was Lie's first time to come to this kind of old-fashioned house, and he was still a little curious about the tatami. As he was walking around the room, two identical children suddenly opened the paper door and ran in, shouting happily:

"Mom and Dad! Sister Misa is back!"

"And Mr. Robert!"

Looking at the two little girls yelling, Takeda Yoko seemed a little helpless: "Saei, Emo... There are guests at home, don't yell so much."

The two twins named Sae and Eimo only then noticed that there was someone in the room. They immediately hid behind their own daughter, Takeda Yoko, and kept silent.

Seeing these two cute little girls, Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha may have overflowed with maternal love, "What cute twins... Are these Auntie Yoko's daughters?"

"Yes, they are my daughters, Takeda Sae and Takeda Esu."

Takeda Yoko chuckled and patted the two children's heads.

At this time, a man and a woman came in.

When they saw a room full of people, they were really surprised.

This is naturally inevitable to introduce myself...

But no one noticed that when Takeda Ryuji looked at the woman who came in, there was a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.

……

"Mr. Robert and Miss Misa are dating!"

Mao Lilan, Yuanshan and Ye looked at the two people who were a little embarrassed, and for some reason they felt a little envious. "Well... Actually, we just started dating recently."

Robert, who had short blond hair, scratched his head.

Robert Taylor, an American, is a photographer and he is not bad looking.

Two years ago, when I came to Tottori Prefecture to seek advice, I happened to encounter a landslide... Of course, I was fine, I just got lost. Later, I met Misa who was returning from the prefecture, and I was invited to the Takeda family.

Although they were only guests for a few days, they both developed a good impression of each other.

After Robert Taylor returned to the county, Misa was still a little sad... But unexpectedly, not long after, Robert came again with a box of photos taken outside.

then……

The two of them got together.

Moreover, after they started dating, Misa rarely lived in her own home, but moved in with Robert.

Listening to the two of them describing their love experiences, Ke·Teasing Emperor·Nan started to complain again:

It turns out that the most recent time we started dating was more than a year ago, huh?
It’s really close.

As Mao Lilan listened, she suddenly remembered: "By the way, Miss Misa, you are Mr. Takeda Shinichi's daughter, right?"

Takeda Misa was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly: "Ah, yes..."

The Takeda family all have thick black hair, and their genetic memory is very good.

With her beautiful hair, oval face and soft facial features, Misa Takeda looks very gentle.

only……

Conan, Hiroki and Hattori, who are all very observant, were stunned for a moment when they saw Misa smiling, and then they looked at the two twins.

I can only say, they are indeed a family, right? They look alike...

"Come to think of it, what did Mr. Shinichi come to ask Dad to do? We've been talking about it for a long time."

Maori glanced at the clock on the wall with some concern.

Takeda Yoko suddenly thought of something, looked at her husband, and said, "Could it be about Mr. Negishi?"

Before the curious Conan Hattori could ask, Robert said, "That shouldn't be the case. I think it should be something else..."

"Mr. Negishi? Did something happen before?"

Under the curious gazes of Mao Lilan and Kazuha, Takeda Yoko and Takeda Ryuji slowly told the strange things that happened a few days ago:

Three days ago, Takeda Shinichi's friend... Mr. Negishi came to visit and suddenly disappeared mysteriously.

A day later, their maid went to the warehouse to get something and found Mr. Negishi hanging in the warehouse...

Moreover, it was not the rope that hanged Mr. Negishi, but the fishing line - under the action of gravity, the fishing line that strangled him was embedded in his neck.

After the police arrived, they determined that the person was killed on the day he came to visit. However, apart from Misa and Robert who came back to get something, there were no other guests at the Takeda household that day.

And no one had any scratches from the fishing line...

Because they killed people with fishing lines, if they hung up the slightly obese Mr. Negishi and beat him, there would definitely be marks from being strangled even if he was wearing gloves.

And there was no trace of the suspect at the scene, so the police finally closed the case as suicide...

After recounting the events of the case, the Takeda family members thought of a case from even longer ago:

It was also in that warehouse at that time.

Takeda Misa's mother hanged herself there.

And because no one had been in the warehouse for a long time, when the body was found, it was still covered with spider silk...
