In the afternoon, around 3:30.
In a cafe near Tottori International Airport, Conan, Ran, and Uncle Mouri were sitting by the window, eating pastries and drinking drinks.
Xiaolan and Conan were chatting, then turned to look at the pedestrians outside the cafe, and whispered helplessly: "...Did Mr. Takeda, the client this time, really say he would come to pick us up? Why haven't you come yet? ?”
"Of course he said he would come to pick us up!" Uncle Maori crossed his arms on his chest and seemed a little annoyed. "...Before I got on the plane, I had a special phone call with Mr. Takeda. He said that the spider where their home is located Ling Village is relatively remote, and the roads in the village are very complicated, and ordinary people can easily get lost, so he specially sent his brother, Mr. Yong San, to pick us up..."
"...Damn it! We have been waiting here for more than half an hour after we got off the plane. If I had known better, we might as well have taken a taxi there!"
The Conan kid listened to Uncle Mori's complaints, drank juice, looked at the map of Tottori Prefecture placed in the coffee shop, and said:
"...Uncle Maori, if you ask me, even if we take a taxi, it's unlikely that anyone will be able to take us directly to Takeda's house. It's probably best to take us outside Spider Ridge Village. The road there..."
Conan kid placed the map of Spider Ridge Village in the atlas in front of Xiaolan and Uncle Maori: "...it's really difficult to walk."
Xiaolan and Uncle Maoli said "Ah!" and looked down at the map Conan spread out. Then they were both confused:
"...Is this a map of Spider Ridge Village? Damn it! Why are there so many curves?"
"...Looking at the shape of the road in Spider Ridge Village, it looks like a spider web!" Xiaolan felt dizzy looking at the map and rubbed her eyes involuntarily.
Xiaolan and Uncle Maoli were talking, while Conan pointed to the introductory text on the map and said: "...It is introduced here. Spider Ridge was originally just an ordinary forest. It was spread about hundreds of years ago. According to the legend of the Spider Fairy, people then built ancestral halls to worship the Spider Fairy, and then villages were formed. As for the roads here, it is said that a powerful monk asked the villagers to build them, as if to release the resentment in the temple... …”
Conan said "Bala, bala", while Xiaolan said "ah" twice with a frightened expression on her face: "Okay, so scary..."
"What's so scary? This is just a legend!" Uncle Maori curled his lips in disapproval. At this moment, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
Uncle Maori quickly answered the phone. After greeting him, he told his location before hanging up. He looked up at Conan and Xiaolan: "...it's Mr. Takeda Yuzo's call. He said he will be at the coffee shop right away. It's true... I've only just arrived now..."
"Okay, Dad, don't complain!" Xiaolan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "...Since the person to pick us up is here, let's wait outside the coffee shop~"
The three people paid the bill and walked out of the cafe together. Not long after, they saw a minivan parked in front of them. A fat middle-aged man got out of the car and greeted Conan and the others: "You Okay, you must be Mr. Mori, right? Sorry, sorry, because the car suddenly broke down on the way, so it was delayed for a while and made the three of you wait for a long time..."
"No, you are so polite." Xiaolan replied with a smile, "...It seems that we are causing you trouble, and we bothered you to come and pick her up..."
A few people exchanged polite words before Takeda Yuzo pointed to the minivan and said: "...it's getting late, let's get in the car and talk. It's not close to our home from here, and it takes almost two hours to drive. …”
"That's really troubling you." Conan and the other three bowed their thanks and got into the car together.
…
Afternoon, four o'clock.
Outside the cemetery in Spider Ridge, Hua Ming pointed to the inside of the cemetery and said with a smile: "...Everyone, this is the cemetery. As for the place where the body was found, it is in front of the tombstone less than 20 meters in front..."
Hua Ming walked at the front and continued to walk into the cemetery. Shu Yunwen followed behind, opened his [Yin Yang Eyes] and scanned, his eyes fell on a place deep in the cemetery, and said softly:
"...Koizumi-san, you must have felt it along the way just now, right? There are really many forks in the road here, and...the yin energy on the road is very heavy..."
"Yeah...the forest roads here feel very depressing..." Koizumi Hongzi nodded, "...it's like entering some disgusting place, it's disgusting..."
"...Well, it does make people feel uncomfortable..." Shu Yunwen squinted his eyes, "...This feeling is really the same as what Master Hua Ming said before, a bit like being in a 'spider web'..."
Shu Yunwen said, his tone paused, and his eyes continued to stare at a place deep in the cemetery: "... In addition, you must have discovered the anomalies in this cemetery, right?"
"Is there something abnormal in the cemetery?" Koizumi Hongzi was stunned for a moment, then took out the forearm-long magic wand from her skirt, chanted the magic spell in her mouth, and released a [Detection Technique]. She was suddenly surprised:
"...That place...is exactly the same as the smell mixed with the victim's corpse..."
"Yes, there should be something in that place, with the power of incense and evil spirit..." Shu Yunwen nodded casually, and Hua Ming also took everyone to the place where the victim's body was found.
Okamoto Ryo glanced at the magic wand in Koizumi Anko's hand, and then looked at Koizumi Anko's knee-length skirt. He was thinking about it again and again, and said with a dry smile: "...Mr. Shu, this is where the victim's body was found. At that time, the victim fell in front of the tombstone, his body covered with fishing line..."
As Okamoto Yoshimasa spoke, Shu Yunwen suddenly smiled and said: "Officer Okamoto, I'm sorry, could you please wait for a while? We want to go to the depths of the cemetery to take a look first..."
"Go to the depths of the cemetery?" Okamoto Ryo was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "...Okay. But why are you going to the depths of the cemetery? This is where the corpse was found..."
Shu Yunwen smiled slightly and did not answer. He chanted a witchcraft spell in his mouth and prepared a [Ghost Claw]. As he walked towards the depths of the cemetery, he ordered Chengshi and Mingmei:
"...Narishi, Akemi, you two go there first to check the situation... Well, be careful. If there is danger, get back immediately!"
"Okay, Lord Yunwen."
Chengshi and Mingmei responded, flying together to the location mentioned by Shu Yunwen, and carefully submerged under the ground. Not long after, Chengshi's voice came into Shu Yunwen's mind:
"...Lord Yunwen, there is a ghost hidden under this tombstone, a female ghost like a spider banshee..."
