Tom Cat breaks through the dimensional wall.

He first glared at Officer Megure, then followed Megure's gaze and looked out the car window.

It turned out that a foreigner dressed as a mountaineer appeared on the side of the road.

Officer Megure lowered the car window, and the foreigner immediately approached with a friendly smile: "Hello, my name is Robert Taylor, and I'm an American. I'm a photographer who loves nature, and I came here specifically to take pictures of this nostalgic place."

"I've been here before. Miss Takeda took great care of me at that time, so I wanted to go and see it again. It's just that I haven't been here for a long time, so I'm a little lost. Do you know how to get to the Takeda family?"

This foreigner who suddenly appeared spoke a lot as if he was reading from a script.

This made the two people and the cat in the car a little confused.

Originally, Tang Mu wanted to continue to be angry.

Haibara Ai behind him stretched out her hands and hugged Tang Mu back, and Tang Mu suddenly had no place to vent his anger.

But when Officer Megure realized what was happening, he immediately shouted happily after hearing Taylor's question: "See! Haha! He hasn't been here for a long time and doesn't remember the way. It's normal that I didn't remember the way before."

Huiyuan Ai rolled her eyes and ignored Officer Megure. Instead, she looked at the blond foreigner outside the car and asked calmly, "Do you want to go to the Takeda family?"

"Yes." Taylor looked at Huihara Ai in the back row with a sunny smile on his face.

"That's perfect. We are going to the Takeda family too. If you don't mind, come in the car. We can take you with us."

Inspector Megure invited Taylor. As a detective with a strong sense of justice, he was quite willing to help.

"Thank you so much! It really helps a lot!"

Taylor bowed to Officer Megure, opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

After sitting down, Taylor greeted Huihara Ai in a friendly manner: "Hello, little sister, is this your cat? It's so cute."

But Haibara Ai just glanced at him, expressionless and silent, which made Taylor a little embarrassed.

As if wanting to break the awkward atmosphere in the car, Officer Megure, who had already restarted the car, introduced the people in the car to Taylor in a familiar manner.

"The little girl next to you is called Huihara Ai. Although she is so small, she is a famous genius detective in Tokyo. The cat is Tom. My name is Megure Jusan. I am a criminal police officer. Nice to meet you."

Officer Megure said this, nodding slightly at Taylor through the rearview mirror.

Although there was no enthusiastic smile on Megure's face, his attitude was undoubtedly excellent.

"Criminal... Detective?"

Taylor's sunny smile froze for a moment, but he quickly concealed it.

Megure Juzo didn't find anything wrong. After all, criminal police is indeed a rather special profession for ordinary people.

He saw similar reactions every time he introduced himself to some strangers.

Over time, I got used to it.

However, Haibara Ai and Tom in her arms were staring at Taylor.

Not long after, as the vehicle went deeper into the forest, Tang Mu and his companions finally saw several wooden buildings.

This is the Takeda family mentioned in the letter of commission.

At this time, a group of people were standing in front of the Takeda family's door, talking.

It seems that they are not here to greet Tang Mu and the others.

Megure's car stopped in the open space in front of the yard, and Tang Mu and his group got out of the car.

Seeing people coming over here, the people from the Takeda family also looked over here.

Among them was a tall and thin man with a mustache who also looked over with a frown.

He was looking at them with a scrutinizing gaze.

Anyway, Tang Mu and Huihara Ai don’t like this kind of look.

Xiao Ai was not afraid of him and just stared back at him coldly.

Tang Mu, who was lying on Xiao Ai's shoulder, bared his teeth and threatened the mustache man.

Seeing Tang Mu and Xiao Ai's reactions, the man with the mustache frowned and snorted in dissatisfaction!

"Oh! It's Rob! You're here too."

The second wife of the Takeda family, Takeda Yoko, greeted Robert Taylor.

"Hello, I'm here to see Miss Misa. Thank you for your care three years ago."

Taylor bowed to everyone in the yard like a true Japanese.

"Misa..."

Speaking of this, everyone present seemed to be silenced and stopped talking, with all of them looking unhappy.

This kind of atmosphere in the field can immediately make people think of many bad things.

The smile on Taylor's face as he asked the question gradually faded.

At this time, it was the second wife, Takeda Yoko, who continued to speak: "Missa, she passed away not long after you left three years ago..."

"What! Miss Misa died three years ago?!"

Robert Taylor seemed unable to accept this sudden bad news. He froze in place and stammered, "How, how could this happen?"

"About two or three days after you left, she hanged herself on the second floor of the puppet house."

Takeda Yoko said with a gloomy expression.

The mustache man at the side seemed very interested in this aspect of the incident and immediately said, "In other words, Miss Meisha committed suicide, right?"

"Yes."

Takeda Yoko nodded and continued, "Not long after that, my eldest sister-in-law, Misa's mother, also hanged herself there."

I didn't expect that we would be discussing such a heavy topic right after arriving at our destination. Everyone was silent.

Tang Mu felt that the current situation finally had the feeling of the beginning of a detective drama.

Moreover, the current situation, coupled with the mysterious letter of commission, reminded Tang Mu of a case in "Detective Conan".

The cat lay on Huihara Ai's shoulder and thought.

Takeda Yoko's story was not over yet. She frowned slightly and sighed, "But the tragedy is not over yet."

"Just a few days ago, Mr. Negishi, who always took good care of my eldest brother, also hanged himself in the warehouse... It happened when all our family members were out."

Hearing this, the criminal police officer Megure could no longer sit still. He stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Did you call the police?"

"Well, we called the police right away. The police came and said that Mr. Negishi committed suicide."

Yoko Takeda turned her head and looked at Officer Megure. Although she didn't know this man, he came here with Taylor after all. In addition, given the Japanese character, she didn't act rude and gave an answer immediately.

"Does Mr. Negishi often come to your house?"

The man with the mustache asked again. Facing this guy who always lacked a sense of presence, Tang Mu couldn't help but look at him with scrutiny.

This person didn't seem to be a friend of the Takeda family, and the way he asked questions seemed like he was looking for clues.

The mustached man noticed the cat's gaze and scratched his cheek in annoyance, but this time he did not look at Tang Mu again.

Takeda Yoko knew the identity of the man with the mustache. When she heard the other party's question, she immediately answered in detail: "My eldest brother is a puppet master, and Mr. Negishi is engaged in the sales and transportation of puppets, so he often comes to our place for activities."

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as an office worker next to Takeda Yoko also spoke up: "My elder brother asked you to come here because he wants to find out about Mr. Negishi."

This office worker is Yoko Takeda's husband, Ryuji Takeda.

He is the second son of the Takeda family.

Takeda Ryuji said this to the man with a mustache.

It seems that the man with the mustache is indeed a detective.

This is interesting.

Unexpectedly, there was a second detective here besides them.

And this detective looks much more orthodox than it and Ai.

After all, he was formally invited by the eldest son of the Takeda family.

It and Xiao Ai received a letter of commission from an unknown source, and they didn't even know who the client was.

Tang Mu thought about it, glanced at the man with a mustache, and then looked at Takeda Ryuji.

Having said that, there is something wrong with what Takeda Ryuji said.

Since the police have already determined that it was suicide, their eldest brother still asked a detective to investigate, which shows that their eldest brother actually did not believe in the judgment of suicide.

So, on what basis did their eldest brother make this judgment?

Since he had such a judgment, why didn't he tell the police but chose to seek the help of a detective?

Is it that you don’t trust the police, or is there something that you can’t tell the police?

Tang Mu looked at everyone around him, his eyes swept across their faces one by one, and at the same time began to dig out the memories in his mind.

Tottori Prefecture, Kule Ridge.

There is no doubt that the case they encountered was the Tottori Spider House Murder Case.

Like ordinary people, Tang Mu can only remember the general idea of ​​something he has seen a long time ago, but cannot remember the details.

The only way to recall it is by searching for keywords in the mind.

In this way, Tang Mu clearly remembered all the details of the case.

Naturally, he now knew who the real murderer was.

To be honest, at this moment, Tang Mu would rather he had not watched Detective Conan.

After all, the case had just begun, and he already knew the real murderer.

This is very boring.

But Tom's identity in this world is a detective cat after all.

Even if the real murderer is already known, it still has to assist Xiao Ai in solving the case, discover clues step by step, and then find the real murderer.

Just think of it as a script-killing game.

Moreover, although Tang Mu had read the script, Haibara Ai knew nothing about it.

After this period of detective career, Ai also became interested in this detective game.

Just think of it as playing with Ai.

Apart from anything else, after solving the case, Tang Mu really enjoyed Xiao Ai's admiring look.

Another point is that this commission is the first big commission that the Gray Cat Detective Agency has ever received, so they must seize the opportunity and build a good reputation.

As for the issue of knowing the murderer but still letting him go.

Okay, Tom admits that he is a bit hypocritical.

If it was any other case, that would be fine.

But this case is different from the others!

Those who died deserved to die. Drug trafficking is something that cannot be forgiven in any way.

If he meets a good person, Tang Mu will still go to save him.

After all, it has a very flexible moral bottom line.

It can fluctuate depending on the situation.

Although Tang Mu seems to have been doing good things in the eyes of ordinary people.

But Tang Muzhen doesn't think he is a good person with boundless love in the traditional sense.

This can be seen from Tom's previous time travel.

Tang Mu is just an ordinary citizen with normal values ​​and his own selfish desires.

Tom Cat has such powerful power that only people with Tom's mentality can be responsible for the life and safety of all living beings in the world.

Tom had already recalled the case in his mind.

The man with the mustache also finished his conversation with the second son of the Takeda family.

"Please rest assured. I, Mitsunaga Momota, am a famous detective in Kyoto. I promise that I can solve this case for you."

The mustached man, Mitsunaga Momota, made the assurance confidently.
