"What's going on with the Spider Fairy?"

Mouri Kogoro asked Takeda Ryuuji out loud. The old woman kept talking about the spider fairy's curse, which made him want to know the reason.

"Legend has it that there once was a beautiful woman who looked like a fairy here in Puppet Ridge. Whenever someone passed by, she would ask them questions such as"Does heaven exist? Do you want to go there?" At this time, everyone passing by was bewitched by the beauty of this woman. They would answer yes without hesitation, and then disappear into the forest, never to come back."

"A puppet master heard this legend and thought of a way to put a puppet as tall as a person on the road, and then wait for the opportunity to move. Soon after, the beautiful woman appeared and started asking the puppet questions, but of course the puppet would not answer. The beauty asked impatiently, and finally revealed the true form of the spider and began to attack the puppet. The puppet master who was waiting for the opportunity shot out the rocket he had prepared, and the spider fled into the forest with its whole body covered in fire. When the puppet master later followed in, he found that the spider and the little spider had all been burned to death in his nest."

"Later, the villagers were afraid of being cursed, so they built an ancestral hall in that place to worship the Spider Fairy. This place was renamed Puppet Ridge from then on."

Takeda Ryuuji slowly told the legend.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but said:"What? It's just a legend. What does this have to do with Mr. Takeda Shinichi being cursed?"

Yuzo Takeda explained:"Because the ancestral hall used to be built at the location of the current warehouse. After my eldest brother inherited our father's profession and became a puppet master, he demolished the ancestral hall and built this warehouse despite the opposition of the villagers."

"In the third year after the warehouse was built, our eldest brother’s daughter Misa and his wife Juandai were found hanged in this place. Both of their bodies had turned into nests for spiders, which was really miserable."

Takeda Ryuuji took the words and looked at the warehouse with a sullen face to explain to a few people. Then he turned around and continued:"Three years have passed since then, that is, a while ago, what happened to Mr. Negishi. The tragedy of being strangled to death by a rope"

"rope?"

Takeda Ryuuji said:"When Mr. Negishi died, the ropes used to control the puppets were wrapped around his hands and feet, just like my elder brother. The scene was like being entangled in spider silk. After hearing this, Maori Kogoro said:"

I see, that's why this place is called the Spider House of Puppet Ridge.""

Takada Shinichi echoed:"I think someone must have known this legend, so they used the legend to carry out serial killings. The murderer who killed Mr. Negishi and the murderer who killed Mr. Takeda Shinichi are probably the same person."

Mouri Kogoro, Conan and Hattori Heiji all nodded. They all agreed with what Takada Shinichi said, and they thought so too.

Takeda Ryuji suddenly said:"By the way, Robert and the others went to the cemetery. In that area, legend has it that the Spider Fairy once haunted there."

"What?""No way?"

Conan and Hattori Heiji immediately followed Rob Taylor to the place where Mao Lilan, Toyama and Ye were two girls. The two people who originally thought there was something wrong with Rob Taylor immediately became worried about the safety of the two girls.

"hateful!"

Conan and Hattori Heiji ran down the stairs at the same time. After Hattori Heiji ran down a few stairs, it suddenly occurred to him that there should be someone here who was more worried about Toyama Kazuha's safety. He couldn't help but stop and turned around to look at Takada Shinichi.

Takada Shinichi While making a call on his mobile phone, Hattori Heiji saw this and said angrily:"Takada, what are you doing?"

"I called Xiaolan, otherwise would I choose to drive there to find someone like you?"

Takada Shinichi replied, dialed the number, and put the phone to his ear.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but lowered his head when he heard the words. He knew that he was too anxious and forgot that Conan gave the portable phone to Maori Lan, and Conan seemed to have forgotten about this matter. It was indeed the right thing for Shinichi Takada to do this.

Conan also stopped and stood at the door of the warehouse, obviously wanting to know the contact result of the phone call.

"Hey, Xiaolan!"

Listening to what Shinichi Takada said on the phone, Kogoro Mori, Conan and Heiji Hattori couldn't help but feel relieved. At least they should be fine.

Shinichi Takada said aloud:"Where are you now?"

"Because Mr. Robert said that rain will cause gravel to collapse, we are on the way back now and will be there soon. What can I do?"Mao Lilan's voice rang on the phone

"No, it's nothing. Let's talk about it when you come back."

Takada Shinichi hung up the phone and said to the concerned three people:"Because it's raining, Xiaolan and the others are on their way back and will be back soon."

"Let's go, just in time to ask when the police will come."

Mouri Kogoro walked down the stairs. Before the police arrived, they couldn't inspect the scene at will. Then it would be difficult to talk when the police arrived.

Everyone left the warehouse and came to the living room.

After a while, everyone heard the car start. The sound that came back was that Rob Taylor, Mao Lilan and Toyama Heye were back.

Takada Shinichi and others walked out and met the three people in the yard.

Mao Lilan asked Takada Shinichi:"Takada, Did you call me before for something?"

"Mr. Takeda Shinichi died in the warehouse on the second floor. His body was wrapped with ropes, like a spider. Because the cemetery you went to used to be a place frequented by spider fairies, we were a little worried about your safety, so we used I contacted you by phone."

Takada Shinichi briefly explained the situation without explaining it too clearly.

Mao Lilan nodded and said:"Originally we wanted to see the night view, but because of the rain, we couldn't see it at all."

Rob Taylor said to several people:"Three years ago, I was involved in an accident due to gravel collapse, so I knew that the rain here would cause gravel collapse, so I brought them back."

"Husband, what happened? Why were you so noisy before?"

Takeda Yoko came out wiping her hair with a towel. Takeda Sae and Takeda Emi were standing behind, and they changed into pajamas. Takeda Yoko did not bathe them later, but just wiped their bodies. , because time does not allow her to do that, it takes too long._Fei
