On the surface of Spider Lake.
The spider demon stepped on the lake water with its eight feet, floating strangely on the water, observing its surroundings.
Shu Yunwen judged the distance between himself and the spider demon, silently performed [Illusion], moved his body, confused the spider demon's senses, hid in a safe place, then turned to ask Misa Takeda next to him:
"...Miss Mesa, did your mother really commit suicide?"
Takeda Misa said "ah" and then immediately replied: "...should, should be? After I died, my soul was sucked into the statue of the Spider Fairy. After I came out of the statue, my mother She is already dead... However, everyone in the family said she committed suicide, so it shouldn't be wrong..."
Shu Yunwen didn't wait for Misa Takeda to finish her words and interrupted directly: "...In other words, you didn't see your mother commit suicide at all, right?"
"...Hmm..." Misa Takeda nodded——
When she came out of the statue, she could already move objects of a certain weight. If she had been there when her mother committed suicide, she would have stopped it...
Misa Takeda was thinking about this in her heart, and then suddenly her body trembled. Thinking of this, she raised her head, looked at Shu Yunwen, and asked stammeringly:
"...Master Yunwen, why are you asking about this? Could it be that my mother, she is..."
"Yeah." Shu Yunwen squinted his eyes and continued to observe Takeda Kinuyo's soul on the spider demon, "...I told you before. My pair of [yin and yang eyes] can tell whether the soul committed suicide or homicide. ...Your mother was obviously killed and then pretended to commit suicide..."
"...You must have some suspicion in your heart, right?"
"...I, I..." Misa Takeda was stunned for a moment, with a painful look on her face——
Of course she has someone to suspect. The only person who can kill her mother is her nominal father...
Shu Yunwen turned to look at Takeda Misa, feeling a little sympathetic. At this moment, Koizumi Anko suddenly chanted a witchcraft spell in the air. With a wave of the magic wand in her hand, a series of fireballs hit the spider demon on the lake. , and at the same time said to Mingmei: "...Ms. Mingmei, please help me!"
Mingmei responded, waving the knight sword in her hand, and slashed at the spider demon!
…
Takeda family.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Inside the room, Conan, Heiji Hattori, Nanatsuki Koshimizu and Uncle Mouri who had just woken up completed their alibi investigation and walked out of the living room together. They saluted everyone in the living room and said:
"...Everyone, it's getting late now. Please go back to your room and rest. It's best not to walk around at home..."
"Okay." Tsukamoto Sumi, Xiaoran, and the Takeda family nodded together. Hattori Heiji looked at Kazuha again:
"...He Ye, you must cover yourself with a quilt when sleeping and don't expose your belly!~"
"Idiot! You only exposed your belly when you were sleeping!" Heiye listened to Hattori Heiji's unusual concern, dumbfounded, embarrassed and annoyed.
Seeing this, the little Conan kid raised his head and pretended to be cute, adding fuel to the fire: "...Ah? How did Heiji-nii know that sleeping with Sister Ye would expose his belly? Have they slept together before?!"
When Conan finished speaking, Heiji and Kazuha blushed, and then Hattori Heiji punched Conan on the head: "...Kit, shut up!"
"Uh..." Conan had a big bump on his head and the corners of his mouth twitched twice. Uncle Maori said impatiently:
"Okay! Stop making trouble, you guys! We still have to hurry up and investigate! What a troublesome bunch of brats... I'm going to the warehouse first!"
"Well... I'll go and have a look too." Koshimizu Nanatsuki followed closely.
Conan rolled his eyes and prepared to follow. Hattori Heiji grabbed Conan's collar and whispered: "...Wait, kid! Let Mr. Mori and Detective Koshimizu go over first. The two of us will investigate first. another thing……"
"Huh? Another thing?" Conan was stunned for a moment, then pulled away Hattori Heiji's hand, "...are you talking about...Mr. Takeda Shinichi's high-priced puppets?"
"That's right!" Hattori Heiji nodded and whispered, "...there are people who want a small puppet worth one million yen, and the cost of repairing it once is as high as 700,000. Even so, there are still people. I came to buy it and had it repaired more than a dozen times, which is absolutely abnormal... Let’s go confirm it now..."
"...Yes! Especially the repair cost, it is even more exaggerated..." Conan whispered, "...If my guess is correct, there may be something else inside the puppet..."
"...For example...anesthetics!"
Conan, Hattori, Uncle Mori, and Koshizui Nanatsuki walked away. Tsukamoto Sumi, Loli Ai, Xiaolan, and Ye also walked into the girls' guest room and packed up their bedding.
Tsukamoto Sumi and the others quickly made the bed and got into bed. Then they suddenly felt a tremor in the room, and there were also some faint sounds coming from outside.
Tsukamoto Sumi and the others were all startled, and then Xiaolan patted her chest: "... Was it an earthquake just now? And that sound... Could there be another landslide?"
He Ye nodded: "...I don't know! However, the feeling here on a rainy day is really dangerous..."
"..."
Xiaolan and He Ye were talking, and Luo Liai whispered: "...calculating the time, they should have arrived at Spider Lake..."
"Hmm..." Tsukamoto Sumi forced a smile, looked at Haibara Ai who was just as worried as herself, and thought of Haibara's sister joining him to fight, and comforted her with a smile:
"...Don't worry, Xiao Ai, Yunwen-jun is very powerful, they will be fine..."
…
The night was gloomy.
On Spider Lake, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Shu Yunwen's body was also soaked by the rain.
As Koizumi Hongzi and Mingmei took the initiative to attack, the spider demon also fought back. The demon power used magic to control the lake water to resist the counterattack.
However, the spider demon's reaction speed seemed to be always slow. In a short period of time, it was hit several times by Koizumi Anko and Akemi, which made it scream in pain.
After being beaten hard for a few times, the spider demon glared at Koizumi Anko in the air. The spinner on its abdomen suddenly opened its mouth, and a spider web that was five or six meters long appeared suddenly and moved towards it at an extremely fast speed. He followed Koizumi Hongzi and went over.
Koizumi Anko had long expected that the spider demon would make this move, and controlled the magic broom to dodge. As a result, the big net seemed to have eyes, and followed Koizumi Anko to continue to catch it.
Seeing this, Koizumi Anko frowned slightly and chanted a magic spell. A red fireball suddenly appeared, then exploded in mid-air, covering the entire spider web and burning quickly.
The spider web was burned, and the spider demon "hissed" twice more. Mingmei seized the opportunity, swung her knight sword, and slashed towards the junction of the spider demon's chest and abdomen!
The spider demon was caught off guard and received a blow, and immediately let out another scream. The two fused souls in its body trembled violently twice, as if they were about to separate.
At the same time, the eyes on the silk-like face of the spider demon seemed to suddenly become clear, and he glanced around in confusion. Several transparent spider threads suddenly spewed out of the spider demon's spinning machine and wrapped around the silk tightly. Takeda Kinuyo's soul body, and then Takeda Kinuyo turned into a dull expression again.
Next to Spider Lake, Shu Yunwen looked at this scene, his mouth opened wide——
Damn it? ! What the hell is this?
Looking at Takeda Kinuyo's face just now, she obviously retains her sanity!
Then her Shi Lezhi expression...
Damn it! Could it be that she was controlled by the remnant soul from four hundred years ago in the spider demon? !
