374 Xiaolan: I'll Help You Lift High

Takeda Ryuji couldn't care less about being surprised by the existence of the little paper man, and hurriedly opened the door. What he saw was Takeda Shin's entire body hanging on a huge spider web!

"Brother!!!"

Takeda Ryuji lost his voice in fear and hurriedly stepped forward to put Takeda Shinichi down. Conan followed his movements vigilantly to prevent him from doing anything.

"Brother, big brother!" Takeda Ryuuji shook Takeda Shinichi's body vigorously, but it had no effect except to even out the latter's brain.

Conan reached out and touched the carotid artery of the deceased, shook his head, "It's too late."

Takeda Ryuuji was a little panicked, "Misa, sister-in-law, Mr. Negishi, now it's my brother's turn, what is going on?"

Hanyu Kiyosu, who was standing nearby, was the same as Conan. The first thing he saw when he came in was not a corpse, but a glowing ball of silk thread floating next to the corpse. He stretched out his hand and the thread fell into his hand.

After it was in his hands, everyone could see clearly what it was. Takeda Ryuuji's eyes widened, as if he had seen a savior, and he trembled and asked:

"Spider silk!!! Master Hanyu, is this done by the Spider Immortal? Please save our Takeda family, only a being like you can deal with the Spider Immortal!"

"???" Hanyu Qing'an looked at the silk thread and still thought about the puppet master. How did a spider fairy appear in the end?

Hanyu Qing'an put away the spider silk in his hand and said with certainty: "Man-made things have nothing to do with the spider fairy."

However, Takeda Ryuuji didn't really believe it. He used to be dubious about the Spider Fairy, but since he learned about the existence of Hanyu Shrine, he didn't dare not believe it anymore.

Just now Hanyu Qing'an took out a small paper man to open the door. Now even if Hanyu Qing'an himself refuted the rumor and said that there are no ghosts and gods in this world, it would be useless.

So Hanyu Qing'an had no choice but to say: "What's going on, I just need to wake up Mr. Shinichi and ask."

Takeda Ryuuji's eyes suddenly widened and he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, please save my brother."

Hanyu Qing'an stretched out his hand to stop him and explained: "Life and death are determined by fate. Even I can't reverse it. I just woke him up temporarily and asked some questions. When daybreak, he will still return to his current appearance."

Takeda Ryuuji hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but did not dare to speak. Resurrecting a person was not a trivial matter, and he was not qualified to ask for help.

He was so excited that he spoke one after another. Fortunately, Hanyu-sama was not angry because of this. As a social worker in Tokyo, he was very aware of the status gap between himself and Hanyu Kiyosu.

Conan carefully observed the scene, looking for clues, and Mao Lilan on the side helped illuminate the scene.

"There seems to be something on the transom." Conan murmured while trying to reach up, but he couldn't reach it at all.

"Let me help you." Mao Lilan said, lifting Conan high so that he could observe the transom.

"..." Although Conan felt ashamed, he couldn't care less about the current case.

Standing next to Hanyu Qingyasu, Suzuki Sonoko watched the two men's cooperation with interest, clicking her tongue and not being affected by the corpse at all.

Anyway, with Qing'an here, even if there are monsters like Spider Fairy, there is nothing to be afraid of. Thinking this way, Suzuki Sonoko felt a little excited.

Seeing Mao Lilan and Conan stop their movements, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but ask: "How is your investigation going?"

Mao Lilan didn't need Conan's help. With her long-term case experience and the training she gained from analyzing materials when writing, she was able to say something on her own.

"The door is locked from behind, and the transom is too small. It is difficult for Conan to get in and out from there. Moreover, the outside is so high that there is no stepping stone and there is no way to get in. So if it is not a suicide, then it can only be a secret room murder."

Also called an impossible crime."

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Conan, touched her chin and thought, "Do you think it's because Conan's head is too big that he can't get through the transom? If he were a normal child, would he be able to get through?"

Mao Lilan covered her mouth and was about to laugh, but suddenly her expression restrained and she said uncertainly: "Sonoko, do you mean to say Sae and Emi?"

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned, did I mean that? Wait, is there really something wrong with the chilling and gloomy feeling of the two twins?

When Takeda Ryuji heard the names of his daughters, he quickly said: "They are just children, how could they do such a thing, and there is no reason!"

Suzuki Sonoko helped Mao Lilan explain: "No, what Xiaolan probably means is whether the two children are possessed by monsters. Didn't you just mention the Spider Fairy?"

Takeda Ryuji was speechless.

Hanyu Qing'an couldn't help but hold his forehead, "This is nothing, and I asked you to discuss the logic. It is quite reasonable under the extraordinary world view."

At this time, footsteps were heard from the stairs outside, and Takeda Yuzo and the old lady of the Takeda family also came up.

The old lady, named Wisdom, was leaning on crutches when she saw Takeda Shinichi hanging on a spider web. She was first surprised, and then let out a long sigh.

"Karma, karma... This kid, Shinichi, had to build the warehouse here in the first place. As expected, he got his retribution. It was the Spider Immortal who climbed in through the transom window and killed the person. That's right..."

Conan heard this and asked: "Is there anything special here? Why would building a warehouse here anger the Spider Fairy?"

Takeda Yuzo wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had just woken up after drinking some wine. He was worried and said: "Because this place was originally an ancestral hall dedicated to the Spider Immortal, and then it was bulldozed to build a warehouse."

"Okay, hurry up and bury this child, Shinichi, and then re-erect the Spider Immortal's tablet here, worship it carefully, and ask for forgiveness from the gods." Old Mrs. Takeda shook her head and was about to leave on crutches.

.

Hanyu Qing'an glanced at her, has this old lady become so superstitious? She didn't even intend to find out whether her son was dead, she just wanted to bury him as soon as possible.

"Let's ask myself first."

As he spoke, Hanyu Qing'an put on an Onmyoji costume, held a charm in his hand, and spoke an order to summon the Peach Blossom Demon here.

"Want me to help you?"

Old Mrs. Takeda turned around in confusion when she heard the sound, and then her eyes widened.

what is that?

Hanyu Kiyosu commanded the Peach Blossom Demon and unleashed his skills on Takeda Shinichi. Hearing a long breath coming from the corpse, Takeda Shinichi mechanically opened his eyes.

"What's wrong with me?" Takeda Shinichi looked at everyone blankly, then looked down at the tangled puppet threads on his body.

Mrs. Takeda's hand holding the cane trembled violently, and she murmured in disbelief: "How is this possible..."

Hanyu Qing'an looked at her strangely. He obviously believed in the Spider Fairy so much, but now he couldn't believe in the extraordinary power.

Is Mr. Ye also fond of dragons?

"Where are Robert? Why are you all here?" Takeda Shinichi asked strangely before he could figure out the situation, looking at the shocked expressions on his mother and two brothers.
