They didn't notify the Takeda family before they came.
So when they arrived at their destination, they knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was a quiet-looking woman.
"Who are the three...?" she asked politely.
When I saw the young man in a white suit sitting in a wheelchair, I was a little confused.
The appearance of this young man...
"It's the Demon King——"
"It's His Majesty the Demon King——"
"So handsome——"
"that is--"
Two little girls who looked exactly the same looked at each other and said expressionlessly.
Tsushima Shuji lowered his eyes and glanced at them.
"Good afternoon, madam, and the two young ladies."
"We made an appointment with Mr. Takeda Shinichi to pick up the items today."
"I'm Shuji Tsushima." He introduced himself coolly.
"I'm looking for big brother...please come in and wait a moment." The woman said.
"My name is Takeda Yoko, and Takeda Shinichi is my husband's eldest brother." She said while inviting Tsushima Shuji and the others to come in.
She remembered the reason why this young man looked familiar to her.
It's because in Tokyo, almost every newspaper headline is about him, and even TV stations are reporting about him.
Her two daughters even took him to watch each other's archery competition.
As someone who lives in Tokyo, it is absolutely normal for me to be familiar with Tsushima Shuji's name and face.
"Wait a moment, I'll call my eldest brother." She took the person indoors and sat down. After bringing the tea, she stood up and left.
Soon, Takeda Shinichi followed her.
"President Tsushima...it seems that he has never ordered puppets from me..." Takeda Shinichi smiled in a flattering manner, and then said in a confused tone.
But when he saw the black envelope handed over by Shuji Tsushima, he fell silent.
"...So it's you, President Tsushima." He took the envelope, looked at the signature on the back, and said with a smile.
Half a month ago, he received a letter.
The letter asked for two special puppets to be customized, and a photo was sent with the letter.
The black-haired boy wearing a blue and white sailor uniform sat on the sofa, looking at the camera with a bright smile, while the black-haired boy wearing a black suit stood next to the boy, looking cool.
The boy and the boy look so similar that one can tell at a glance that they are related by blood.
The letter even asked him to make a normal puppet and no special items were needed.
At first, Takeda Shinichi's heart was full of worry and fear of being discovered.
but……
Not only did the other party not report him, they also gave him a deposit of 10 million, and told him that after the puppet was finished, there would be a balance of 10 million.
Takeda Shinichi succumbed to the charm of money.
And he worked hard and made two puppets that were exactly the same as the boy and the boy in the photo.
When he called back to ask when the other party would come to pick up the puppet, he found that the number was empty.
He thought he had been cheated, but he couldn't figure out why someone would pay 10 million to deceive him.
Until he received a strange call yesterday, the same deep man's voice told him that someone would come to pick up the puppet tomorrow.
So, he began to wait.
Unexpectedly, it was the young president of Tsushima Club who came.
Take a closer look at the other person's appearance.
The exposed facial features and eyes...
It was exactly the same as the boy in the photo he had seen.
The only difference is that there are many more bandages on the body and right eye.
If the young man in the photo is the president in front of him...
Who is the boy who looks very similar to him in the photo?
Takeda Shinichi thought so and asked.
"What boy?" Tsushima Shuji looked at him and asked coldly.
Takeda Shinichi lost the ability to smile in his emotionless kite-colored left eye.
"It's the photo included in the letter you sent me..." He said, taking out a photo from his body and handing it to Tsushima Shuji.
It was a brand new, flawless, and very clear photo.
There is no trace of yellowing that old photos should have.
Shuji Tsushima took the photo and stared at it with lowered eyes.
"Neither the letter nor the photo was sent to you by me." He ran his thumb across the photo and spoke in a low voice.
"What? That's..." Takeda Shinichi couldn't believe it.
"What did he tell you?" The black-haired boy asked coldly under his disbelieving eyes.
"The customer asked me to make two identical puppets based on the photos, and someone will come to pick them up today and pay the remaining 10 million balance." Takeda Shinichi thought for a while and gritted his teeth.
He is now not sure whether Tsushima Shuji will pay him the final payment of 10 million.
as well as……
The man who knew about his private dealings...
Who is it?
"I understand." Tsushima Shuji said calmly.
"Show me those two puppets." He stretched out his hand towards the back.
Toru Amuro handed him a check silently.
After Tsushima Shuji took it, he filled in the amount, signed his name, put it on the table and pushed it to Takeda Shinichi.
"Wait a moment, I'll move them over right away." Takeda Shinichi took the check, smiled brightly, stood up and ran out.
"Brother, Detective Maori and the others..." have arrived.
Takeda Yuzo looked at his eldest brother's hurried back and shouted.
"Sorry, wait for me a moment." Takeda Nobu ran upstairs without looking back.
"What the hell..." Mouri Kogoro said dissatisfied.
"Perhaps some important customers have arrived, so the eldest brother is in such a hurry..." Takeda Yuzo took Mouri Kogoro and the others to the Ohiro room where they received the guests, and then...
"Why is it you..."
"Brother Tsushima?"
"Tsushima?"
"Tsushima-kun?"
The voices of Kogoro Mouri, Heiji Hattori, Conan Edogawa, Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama sounded at the same time.
In the room, a young man sitting in a wheelchair looked towards them.
"What a coincidence, everyone." Compared to their surprised attitudes, the young man's attitude could be called indifferent.
"Hey, why are Tsushima-nii here?" Edogawa Conan came over and asked.
"Tell me, did you come here after receiving a letter of entrustment like me?" Hattori Heiji put his arms around his shoulders and said as if the two brothers were good friends.
"No, I'm just here to pick up something." Shuji Tsushima denied without hesitation.
"Get something? What can you come here to pick up..." Hattori Heiji looked surprised.
"President Tsushima, your puppets..." Takeda Shinichi came over carrying two puppets.
People present:???
"Did you make it custom-made?" Hattori Heiji looked at the expressionless Tsushima Shuji, and then at the two puppets Takeda Shinichi was carrying.
"Why did you order two of yourself..." Hattori Heiji stepped forward and looked at the puppet standing there, which was arranged by Takeda Shinichi.
"How old are you...You're younger than Conan...You look like two or three years old, right?" He gestured at the heights of Edogawa Conan and the little boy puppet.
"This one is about the same as you are now, a little younger, eleven or twelve years old?" He gestured to the height of the young puppet and asked with a teasing smile.
But when he saw the expression on Tsushima Shuji's face, he stopped smiling.
Tsushima's expressionless expression...
It looks like...
It's not as simple as ordering two puppets for yourself.
