Tom Cat breaks through the dimensional wall.

As he spoke, the man looked at Huihara Ai with disdain and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are also a detective, right? The genius elementary school student detective who suddenly became famous recently?"

"Ha! An elementary school detective! It's ridiculous even to hear you say that."

"Little sister, it's fine if you just search for cats and dogs normally, but don't dare to play your detective game here. This is irresponsible to the case and the people involved in the case!"

After saying these words, Mitsunaga Hyakuta looked at Takeda Ryuji and said, "Mr. Takeda, I'm not used to investigating cases with other people. They often disrupt my train of thought."

"Some rookies may even destroy some of the case traces at the scene. Since you have already hired me, you should trust me instead of hiring another detective."

"And he's such a playful elementary school student detective. This is really ridiculous. I've been a detective for so many years, but I've never seen an elementary school student who can be a detective. I'm afraid he can't even do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 100."

After listening to what Mitsunaga Hyakuta said, Takeda Ryuji was stunned for a while. He looked at the arrogant Mitsunaga Hyakuta, and then looked at the expressionless Haibara Ai beside him.

Ryuji Takeda obviously didn't expect that this strange little girl was also a detective!

To be honest, Ryuji Takeda is a little angry now.

Such a big thing happened in the Takeda family, and a little kid also came to join in the fun, which made him feel very annoyed.

Just like Mitsunaga Momota said, this is simply nonsense!

But in the end, Ryuji Takeda took a deep breath and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Then he looked at Inspector Megure, then looked at Huihara Ai and asked, "I'm sorry, we don't seem to have invited a second detective. If you're just here to play, please leave."

Huihara Ai didn't say anything.

Of course she could see that the adults present did not trust her to solve the case and just treated it as a child's play.

But this is not important, Haibara Ai believes in Tom's ability.

It would certainly solve the case before that annoying mustachioed man.

As a member of the Gray Cats, Haibara Ai also knows that this case is important for the Gray Cats to become famous.

Therefore, with an expressionless face, Haibara Ai took out the letter of commission from her backpack and handed it directly to Takeda Ryuji.

Seeing the other party take the letter and start to read it with a puzzled look, he continued calmly: "This is the letter of entrustment we received yesterday.

"It says, 'Please be sure to arrive at the Takeda family in Tottori Prefecture, Puppet Ridge, before sunset next Saturday. Otherwise, another living puppet will fall victim to the spider's murderous hands.'"

"In addition to this commission letter, we also received a commission fee."

"That's true."

Takeda Ryuji took the letter and took a look at it, but considering the age of the little girl in front of him, he was still a little skeptical and asked, "Is it a prank or something?"

Officer Megure next to him finally couldn't stand it anymore, and directly showed his police ID to endorse Haibara Ai and said: "I know what you are worried about, but I guarantee in the name of the police that Xiao Ai is definitely an excellent detective."

Unexpectedly, Megure Jusan turned out to be a criminal policeman. Takeda Ryuji immediately smiled awkwardly, then returned the letter to Huihara Ai, and then asked in confusion: "This is strange, who sent the letter?"

"What about the spider in the letter? Is there anything else you haven't told me?"

Mitsunaga Hyakuta frowned and asked. As a detective, he quickly grasped the key.

"That's true." Takeda Yuzo, the third of the three Takeda brothers who had driven to pick up Mitsunaga Mokutayama, said:

"In recent years, unfortunate things have happened to our family frequently, so people here have given us a nickname, saying that we are the Spider House of Puppet Ridge."

"If you don't want to be cursed, you'd better not get too close to us."

"Is this the case?"

It was the first time that Inspector Megure had heard of such a thing, and he immediately nodded in understanding.

At this moment, the eldest brother of the Takeda family, Takeda Shinichi, finally came out.

This was a middle-aged man with a moustache and a beard. As soon as he appeared, he smiled and greeted Mitsunaga Baita:

"Hello, Detective Mitsunaga. I'm the one who invited you this time. I'm the eldest son of this family, Takeda Shinichi. I'm so sorry to ask you to come all the way here."

When Guangyong Baitai saw that it was the real boss who came, he also smiled and greeted him. He raised his head proudly and said, "Thank you for your trust. I will definitely investigate this case for you."

Seeing Mitsunaga Hyakuta approaching, Takeda Shinichi put his arm around Mitsunaga Hyakuta's neck, deliberately moved away from the crowd, and the two of them huddled together to talk in whispers.

This action immediately made Tang Mu, who had been paying attention to them, raise his eyebrows.

Chapter 397 Marketing Detective

Takeda Shinichi put his arm around Mitsunaga Hyakuta's neck and whispered in his ear, "To be honest, I think Mr. Negishi was murdered by someone in my family. So you have to have a good idea in your mind. If you know who the murderer is, you must tell me first."

After saying that, Takeda Shinichi let go of Mitsunaga Hyakuta's neck.

Mitsunaga Hyakuta straightened his clothes and looked at Takeda Shinichi with a somewhat puzzled expression.

He also sensed something strange about this man.

But Mitsunaga Momota is a professional detective after all.

This professionalism is not only reflected in his ability to detect cases, but more in his attitude towards his clients.

Detective is just a profession.

It is a profession to make money and become famous.

He has nothing to do with justice.

Therefore, in most cases, Mitsunaga Momota would choose to turn a blind eye when faced with some of the client's little secrets.

Mitsunaga Momota really disdains those who keep talking about justice and whose heads are full of unrealistic idealism.

After so many years in this industry, Mitsunaga Momota has even honed this sense of smell.

You can tell who is annoying at a glance.

For example, there is Haibara Ai, Inspector Megure and Tom Cat, a combination of two people and one cat.

Especially the little girl and the cat, their gazes made Mitsunaga Baita feel very uncomfortable.

It seemed that he noticed Mitsunaga Hyakuta's gaze.

Takeda Shinichi also cast his gaze towards Tang Mu and his group, and asked in confusion: "By the way, are these people your assistants? I remember you seemed to say that you came here alone."

"No, I have nothing to do with them. If there is any relationship, it should be a competitive relationship. After all, the little girl with the cat is also a detective."

When Mitsunaga Momota said this, he crossed his arms across his chest, still looking a little unhappy.

"How is this going?"

Takeda Shinichi looked at Tang Mu and the others with a look of disbelief on his face.

After all, to normal people, Haibara Ai’s identity as a detective is really ridiculous.

Seeing this, Inspector Megure had no choice but to explain the matter of the letter of commission again and introduced the identities of their group to the Takeda family.

When talking about Inspector Megure being a detective, Takeda Shinichi's expression was a little stiff.

But he didn't say anything.

At this time, Taylor, who still looked a little sad, greeted Takeda Shinichi: "Hello, Mr. Takeda."

"Ah, it's Robert, long time no see. You came here during the summer vacation three years ago, right?" Takeda Shinichi looked at Taylor and quickly forced a smile, then walked up to Taylor and greeted him like a good friend who hadn't seen him for many years.

"Excuse me for disturbing you, but I came to visit you to thank you for what happened three years ago."

Taylor bowed slightly to Takeda Shinichi seriously.

As soon as he mentioned what happened three years ago, Takeda Shinichi knew what he was talking about. He immediately waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Just treat this place as your own home. Sae and Sami are both the ones you get along with the best. They just happened to be going home with their parents this time."

As he spoke, Takeda Shinichi looked behind Taylor and said, "Oh, you guys are out too."

Everyone turned around and saw a pair of twin little girls standing there looking at them.

Taylor also saw the cute twins and immediately smiled: "Saei, Emo, you have grown so big."

But in the face of Taylor's kindness, the twins didn't seem to appreciate it at all. They stared at Taylor with two pairs of hateful eyes and said coldly, "Murderer."

The word "murderer" made Taylor, who had just squatted down, stand there in shock, his face full of astonishment.

"She's here to kill again."

Nine-year-old Sae looked at her twin sister with a worried look on her face.

"That's right."

Huimo also had a worried look on her face, and together with her sister, she stole glances at Taylor, who was becoming even more uncomfortable.

"How terrible."

Sae continued her efforts.

"I'm scared, too."

Huimo is worthy of being a twin. Her tone of voice and expression are exactly the same as her sister.

"Alright! You two kids are not allowed to talk nonsense!"

Listening to the conversation between the two sisters Sae and Eimo, their mother Takeda Yoko suddenly became anxious and raised her voice to stop them.

After being yelled at by Yoko Takeda, the two children shouted "Mom is so scary" and ran away together.

"I'm so sorry, the child is still young and he spoke nonsense."

Yoko Takeda apologized to Taylor, hoping that Taylor would forgive her because the twins were still young.

"Will not."

What else could Taylor say in this situation? He could only smile and wave his hands, indicating that these were all trivial matters.

"Anyway, since everyone has come from afar, let's have dinner together first. The family has prepared it."

Shinichi Takeda broke the awkwardness and invited everyone to have a meal together.

Although the letter of commission from Tang Mu and his friends was not sent by the Takeda family, they were guests after all, and they were also detectives who came to investigate, so the Takeda family did not turn them away.

What's more, there is a criminal police officer on vacation in their team.

In the eyes of Takeda Ryuji, Takeda Yoko and others, Inspector Megure's identity is still relatively reliable.

Tang Mu was actually still a little uncomfortable with the Japanese dinner.

Today we had sukiyaki with other side dishes, but Tang Mu thought it would be better to have a Sichuan and Chongqing hotpot.

But after all, the guest should follow the host's wishes, and the cat will not behave impolitely. Just think of it as experiencing the local customs and culture.

In fact, Tang Mu didn't show any expression and just ate normally.

But in the eyes of others, it is already weird enough for a cat to eat like a human.

At the banquet, the elder of the Takeda family, the mother of the three Takeda brothers, finally appeared.

Her name was Chie Takeda, a short old lady who looked a little gloomy.

The old lady ate her meal slowly and ignored the many guests who suddenly appeared in her home.

She didn't even look at Tom.

It was the twins who were complaining that they had no fish to eat.

The Takeda family was not prepared for the arrival of Tom, Mu and their cat, which led to them buying less food.

Inspector Megure is a thin-skinned person. When he learned this, he felt embarrassed and his face turned red.

Tang Mu is thick-skinned and doesn't care what others think. However, he doesn't like eating fish other than boiled fish, so he picked up the small fish from his plate and gave it to Sae and the others.

Although Haibara Ai was cold, she also separated her own little fish.

This made Inspector Megure, who was a beat slow, even more embarrassed. There was only one fish, and he didn't know who to give it to.

"Thank you, Cat! Thank you, sister!"

The twins were immediately favored by Tang and Mu.

Especially Haibara Ai, who looks the same age as the two sisters Sae and Ei, and can attract their favor more.

"I'm stuffed."

The old lady Takeda Chie put down her bowl and chopsticks and was the first to leave the table. When she walked to the door of the room, she said coldly without looking back: "This place has been cursed. Don't go out casually at night, otherwise something unfortunate will happen."

After saying that, the old lady opened the door and walked out.

Everyone watched the old lady leave, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
