Tom Cat breaks through the dimensional wall.

When his injury was almost healed and he was about to leave, he got along well with Mr. Ryuji and his family who came back to visit their relatives in the countryside. Misa also became cheerful again because of him. "

Huihara Ai had been listening quietly, and when the maid finished speaking, she suddenly asked, "But didn't Miss Misa commit suicide two or three days after Robert left? Since her condition has improved, this shouldn't be the case, right?"

Shioya Miyuki closed her eyes and shook her head gently, and replied: "I'm not sure either. After Robert left, Misa returned to her original state. Just when I was wondering why I didn't see her and suspected that she had run away from home, Mr. Yongzo found Misa hanged in the warehouse on the second floor. Not long after that, Misa's mother Kinuyo also followed and left..."

"After the two of them passed away, did you feel that one of them behaved differently?"

Ai asked a question that all detectives would ask.

Shioya Miyuki recalled briefly and said, "Mr. Shinichi didn't shed a single tear at the time and was very calm when he attended the funeral. But Mr. Ryuji's reaction was very intense. His crying was so loud that the neighbors could hear it. And then there were Sae and Emo...

They used to have so much fun with Robert. But when they went home to visit their family two years ago, they said something very strange. Something like Robert killed Misa.

"But why do they say such things?"

Officer Megure asked in confusion.

"I don't know. Mr. Negishi, who came here to get the puppet, was also shocked. They talked to Mr. Negishi for a few words and suddenly came to this conclusion." Shioya Miyuki was also a little distressed and said, "I also asked them, and they said that they only asked Mr. Negishi for a few names."

Speaking of Negishi, Haibara Ai asked about the deceased's condition: "Mr. Negishi also died a few days ago. What happened to him?"

"We all went to a meeting nearby that day. Mrs. Yoko came back early to prepare dinner and found his body in the warehouse. At that time, Mr. Shinichi and I happened to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner."

Shioya Miyuki looked at Tom and Megure and further explained, "Since Mrs. Kinuyo passed away, Mr. Shinichi has been in charge of the family's finances alone."

Upon hearing this, Tang Mu and Officer Megure looked at each other, and the man and the cat each picked up their own hot tea and took a sip.

Listening to the sound of rain outside the warehouse, Xiao Ai asked again after receiving a signal from Tang Mu: "Can we find the rope used to hang Mr. Xinyi and the winding thin wires in this warehouse?"

"Well, that kind of thin wire is in the warehouse. It's the fishing line that is usually used to control puppets. Ropes can also be found in the warehouse. Do you want to go and take a look?"

As she spoke, Miyuki Shioya stood up.

Officer Tom and Megure also stood up.

While following behind Shioya Miyuki, Officer Megure approached Tom and asked, "Tom, do you know the murderer and the locked room method? When Mr. Shinichi died, Taylor happened to be driving with Momota Mitsunaga and had no chance to get close to the warehouse, so it couldn't be them. Later, Mrs. Yoko took the twins to take a bath."

"The maid is in the living room with us, and the old lady has returned to her room. The most suspicious ones should be Mr. Ryuji who went to boil water for a bath, and Mr. Yongsan who has been looking for Mr. Xinyi's whereabouts, right?"

"Meow!" Maomao nodded confidently, gave a thumbs up, and almost took out the "Detective Conan" comic book to show Inspector Megure.

"What?! Have you thought of that?"

Officer Megure looked at Tang Mu in shock, then said ecstatically: "You are worthy of me. I want you to become the police cat of our police force."

The group went to the place where all kinds of materials needed to make puppets were stored and looked around. Tang Mu did not find any useful clues, but picked up an abandoned puppet that might have been used by Yong San for practice and took a look.

Seeing that Tang Mu was interested in the puppet, Officer Megure also came over, squatted beside him, and asked the maid curiously: "Mr. Shinichi is a puppet master, right? How much can his puppets sell for?"

"I'm not sure about that, it seems to be one million." Shioya Miyuki held her chin and thought for a while, then gave a very shocking number.

"This puppet costs one million?"

Inspector Megure looked like he had never seen the world before, his eyes were almost popping out.

Tang Mu, who knew the inside story, curled his lips in disdain. Anyone who made this kind of money would shorten his life and should be cursed.

Shioya Miyuki nodded and said affirmatively: "Yeah, I heard that the repair fee is also very expensive."

"So that's what it is."

Inspector Megure nodded in understanding.

Tang Mu ran to Haibara Ai again and started whispering to her.

After listening to Tang Mu's meaning, Xiao Ai nodded and said, "Let's go check on Mr. Yong San. He should still be in the studio now."

The maid naturally would not refuse when she heard this, and immediately stepped forward to lead the way: "Please follow me."

So the group followed Miyuki Shioya to the Takeda family's studio again.

Inside the studio, Takeda Yuzo was still assembling puppets.

It’s just that too many things happened today, and Takeda Yuzo seemed a little absent-minded.

When Haibara Ai arrived, she went straight up to Takeda Yuzo and asked him some questions about puppets.

And he confirmed the price of one million puppets.

Takeda Yuzo sat cross-legged in front of a workbench, holding a half-finished puppet in his hand, and looked at everyone and said, "Brother originally said that this puppet should be completed by tomorrow, and I am doing the decoration work. Brother taught me a lot of skills, as long as it is a simple assembly work, I can still do it."

"But Big Brother hasn't taught me the parts and repair techniques yet. The puppets Big Brother made cost 70 to repair. I heard that someone asked Big Brother to repair them more than a dozen times. And puppets operated by fishing lines are more expensive than ordinary puppets."

"So the money we earn is enough for my brother and Mr. Negishi to travel abroad several times. Mr. Negishi seems to be able to sell the puppets for a higher price, so Mr. Negishi has always been doing this work."

Huiyuan Ai nodded, then pointed to the stacks of cardboard boxes behind Takeda Yuzo and asked, "What are those boxes for?"

"Oh, those boxes. They were the puppets that Mr. Negishi was supposed to take away a few days ago. When Mr. Negishi died, my brother noticed that there was one puppet missing. And the customer had already called the house to urge for it. So he planned to make another one quickly."

As Takeda Yuzo said this, he seemed to be thinking of his elder brother who had just died. He looked at the puppet in his hand with a dim look in his eyes.

"I see. I think I know."

Hui Yuan Ai nodded.

He saw Tang Mu lying on his shoulder, quietly making small gestures to him.

Xiao Ai understood the situation and walked away from everyone, pretending nothing had happened and walked towards the corner of the room.

Seeing that no one else was paying attention, Tang Mu took out a bow tie and gave it to Huibara Ai.

This was made by Tang Mu during his spare time.

After all, Xiao Ai is not a qualified detective yet, and she will definitely need Tom Mu's assistance when closing a case.

Pointing at the bow tie in Xiaoai's hand, Tang Mu pointed at his own cat tag.

This thing is actually a cat language translator, a communicator and a speaker combined.

With this thing, Xiao Ai will just have to cooperate and pretend to do it.

Ai thinks bow ties are ugly.

I didn't want to wear it originally.

But when she met the cat's expectant big eyes, Haibara Ai finally compromised.

Tom is very pleased that Ai is getting more and more Death God-like elementary school student equipment.

After conspiring with Tom, Xiao Ai returned to Officer Megure weakly and said, "Officer Megure, please gather the people to the warehouse in fifteen minutes. I already know the truth of this case."

"Do you already know the murderer? That's great, I'll do it right away!"

When Inspector Megure heard this, he knew that the detective cat had an idea, and he immediately went out happily to gather other people.

Takeda Yuzo also followed him out, leaving only Tang Mu and Xiao Ai in the room.

After Takeda Yuzo left, the cat walked slowly forward and opened the boxes.

Haibara Ai also came over and looked into the box with Tom Mu. There were indeed neatly arranged puppets inside.

But the cat did not stop. It stretched out its claws and pried open the surface of the puppet.

Hidden in the middle of these hollow puppets is a bag full of white powder!

When she saw these things, Huibara Ai’s eyes widened!

"Inspector Megure is right, you really should be a police cat!"

As she said this, Huihara Ai couldn't help but sigh: "A puppet costs 100 million yen each, plus 70 yen for each repair, and someone has to repair it more than a dozen times. It turns out that what they are really selling is not the puppet."

Xiao Ai watched Tang Mu put the puppet back into the box, and then she thought of something and said, "So this is why Takeda Shinichi invited Mitsunaga Momota to investigate privately."

After confirming these things, Tang Mu and Xiao Ai also walked out of the studio.

Outside, Inspector Megure was still knocking on doors to gather everyone.

The first person to be called out was Ryuji Takeda, and his wife and daughters were standing in the corridor.

After that it’s the primary school detective Haibara Ai’s turn.

Tang Mu temporarily stepped aside and contacted Xiao Ai using the Cat brand communicator.

Listening to the cat's voice, Xiao Ai sighed, and walked forward to the twin sisters. He bent down slightly and looked at Sae and Emo with a smile, and asked: "You said in the afternoon that Robert was a murderer, right? Why did you say that?"

The two sisters looked at each other for a while, and then looked at Huihara Ai. The elder sister Sae spoke first: "The day Robert left, sister Misa asked us to help her ask Robert's feelings."

His younger sister, Ei-sue, continued indignantly, "We asked him how he felt about Misa-nee. But Rob wrote something really outrageous on the paper!"

"What kind of words?"

Huibara Ai narrowed her eyes and asked.

"He said, go to hell!"

The twins said something very extraordinary in unison.

Listening to the conversation between Huiyuan Ai and the other two, Takeda Yoko came over with some embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "Don't take it too seriously. These two children are probably too young. You must have made a mistake."

Speaking of this, Takeda Yoko sighed and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have let them see the business card."

Upon hearing this, Huiyuan Ai asked again: "What kind of business card is it?"

Yoko Takeda thought about it, took out a business card of Akiho Negishi from her pocket and handed it to Ai.

On the back of the business card is the Romanization of Akio Negishi: "Akio Negishi".

"I found this business card in my wallet, and they asked me all day long who gave me this business card and where this person was." Yoko Takeda reached out and rubbed her two daughters' heads, but her expression still looked a little distressed.

Huihara Ai nodded, stood up straight, turned her head to look at Tang Mu, and when she saw Tang Mu waving his claws at her, she followed him towards the second floor of the factory warehouse.

The cat needs to make some preparations first, so that it will be more convincing when explaining the truth of the case to everyone later.

The agreed time has arrived.

All members of the Takeda family gathered on the second floor of the warehouse.

"You said you already know the truth of this case, is that true?"

As soon as they went upstairs, Takeda Ryuji was the first to ask.

After all, Haibara Ai is so young that it's hard not to be suspicious.

"Of course it's true."

Xiao Ai put one hand in her pocket, her expression unchanged as always.

Her smile is only shown to a small number of specific people.

Seeing Haibara Ai's attention-grabbing appearance, Mitsunaga Hyakuta felt mixed emotions in her heart.

Obviously, he was the detective who was officially invited.

As a result, nothing was accomplished when they got here. Even though this was her first time at the crime scene, Haibara Ai had already claimed that she had solved the case.

This is too fast!

Should we leave some way out for our colleagues?

How can you solve a case like this!

Mitsunaga Hyakuta roared wildly in his heart, but having witnessed the fight between the cat and the Spider-Man, he no longer had the courage to say anything unpleasant.

"But, is it true that the murderer is not the Spider Fairy? The door is locked and the air vent is very small. Apart from the Spider Fairy, no one else can do this, right?"

Ryuji Takeda still firmly believes that the murderer is the Spider Fairy.

"Of course there are people who can do this."

When Haibara Ai said this, everyone looked at her in shock. They simply couldn't imagine how she did it.

Huihara Ai looked at everyone and continued to explain: "The criminal doesn't need to escape from here. Because when Mr. Shinichi was killed, the murderer was not in this room at all."

"This...how is this possible..."

"Then how did he kill people?"

Takeda Ryuji looked incredulous.

"Just use the puppet's fishing line." Xiao Ai spread her right hand and continued, "The criminal used fishing line, rope and thumbtacks to complete this closed room murder case."

"The method is very simple. First, tie the rope that will shrink when pulled on the loop to the straight beam. Then, wrap the rope around the air window. After pulling the rope out of the four corners, secure it with a fishing line with small loops at both ends. Put another fishing line through the knot at the base of the rope loop, pass the fishing line through the central beam, and then pull it out of the window. The trap is complete."

Huiyuan Ai explained this and shone the flashlight towards the air vent: "Look, it's just like how I restored it."

Only then did everyone see clearly that there was a circle of hemp rope fixed around the air vent.

If someone sticks his head out at this time and pulls the rope, the hemp rope can indeed be tightened instantly and strangle the victim's neck.
