Chapter 253 There is indeed something wrong with this puppet
Surviving this year in the world of Conan is victory Chapter 253: There is indeed something wrong with this puppet
The rain is still falling, pattering.
Toyama and Ye's emotions have calmed down under the care of Hattori Heiji. Even though they are still a little scared, it is much better to have someone by their side. They won't have the helpless feeling of being alone just now.
Hattori Heiji originally wanted to continue investigating the case with Takaji, but he was worried about being alone with Ye, so he had to choose to accompany him. With nothing to do, he picked up the shoujo manga on the tatami and opened it to read.
After a few glances, he stared at Heye lying on the bed without saying a word.
"You, why are you staring at me? Is there something dirty on my face?" Toyama and Ye's heartbeats accelerated unsatisfactorily. They didn't know why they felt shy when Heiji stared at them, so they spoke a little bit.
stammer.
Hattori Heiji shook the shoujo manga in his hand, stared at his half-moon eyes and complained mercilessly:
"I just want to see what a guy who likes this kind of comic book looks like. You girls really don't understand, do you actually like this type of boy?"
After saying this, he turned his head awkwardly, but used the corner of his eye to observe the changes in Heye's expression, trying to see what she was thinking.
"Who said I like this type of boy? My friend just gave it to me!" Toyama Kazuye retorted with a frown. She was not interested in the character of the male protagonist Daoming Siji at all. The only boys she was interested in were...
...Heiji is just one person.
"Oh, that's how it is."
Hattori Heiji casually threw the comic book away, and when he turned his back, the corners of his mouth finally couldn't restrain themselves from rising upwards. It seemed that Kazuha didn't like this kind of handsome boy without any sense of proportion.
"Heiji, actually you don't have to accompany me. Are you interested in this piece of jewelry?"
"...Idiot, don't you believe in Brother Takaji's ability?"
You are more important than the pieces, idiot.
Toyama Kazuha tilted her head. She knew that Heiji had been keen on reasoning since childhood. When he first entered junior high school, he threatened to become a famous detective in the Kansai region. Thinking of this, she got out of bed and said with a smile:
"Of course I believe Takaji-nii, but now I want to go see Sae and Emi to play, Heiji, please don't follow me."
"Huh? Are you sure you don't want to rest?"
Toyama and Ye stood up and jumped twice, showing that they were completely recovered:
"Well, I have completely recovered my energy. If you are worried, just send me to them."
"Okay, if you feel unwell, you can call me anytime. Do you have your cell phone on you?"
"I know, I'm not a child anymore!"
After Hattori Heiji sent Toyama Kazuha to the two children's rooms, he quickly ran towards the living room. When he opened the door of the Japanese room, he found that there was no figure of Takaji-san inside. In addition, Takeda Yuzo was not present either.

After he looked twice to make sure that these two people were not there, he asked:
"Mr. Long Er, have you seen Brother Yingji? Why isn't he here?"
"Officer Takaji just left, he went to the puppet studio to find Yuzo." Takeda Ryuuji looked at Hattori Heiji holding the tea cup, and apologized: "Isn't it okay to leave that girl alone? Shiotani needs to be sent there.
Take care of me?"
"It's okay, stay with Ye and your daughters. Besides, as long as you stay here and don't move around, nothing like that will happen again."
Hattori Heiji dropped this sentence and left, but the people in the living room looked at each other, and they all understood the subtext of this sentence.
Takeda Yoko frowned worriedly. She leaned close to her husband and asked softly:
"Long Er, what does that young man mean... is the murderer among us?"
"Maybe, I don't know who was so cruel to my eldest brother. Now that we are together, we can supervise each other, which is good." Takeda Ryuji replied in a low voice. His eyes couldn't help but drift to Rob who was playing with the camera.
·Taylor, for some reason he vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Rob.
He does not believe that there are man-eating spider monsters in this world, only murderous demons exist in this world.

a few minutes ago.
After Fujiwara Yu learned that Takeda Yuzo was alone in the puppet studio, he got up and went to the studio. He had always been suspicious of Mr. Yuzo. After all, everyone in this family who could be related to the puppet line, except for the victim Mr. Shinichi,
He was the only one left.
He politely stood outside the door and knocked, only to open it when he heard a sound coming from inside.
When Takeda Yuzo saw it was Takaji Sosuke, he smiled and asked:
"It turns out to be Inspector Ying. Are you looking for me for something?"
The location of the puppet studio is exactly diagonal to the warehouse, and both are within a certain walking distance from the residential area. Moreover, the sound insulation effect here is very good. If Takeda Yuzo had stayed in the house, he would not have heard the sound just now.
.
Of course, the possibility of him lying cannot be ruled out.
"Well, something happened just now, but fortunately the murderer didn't succeed. I was worried that you would be in danger if you were alone, so I came to take a look." Fujiwara Yu leaned over and took off his shoes, and showed a business smile when he stood up:
"It seems that there is nothing wrong with you."
"Huh? Has the murderer struck again?" Takeda Yuzo looked surprised. This expression didn't look like he was acting. He sighed and fiddled with the puppet in his hand, his face a little frustrated: "Hey, this happened at home.
I really don’t know what to do about it.”
Fujiwara Yu raised his eyebrows, took a few steps closer and asked:
"I remember Mr. Yongzo, you worked at the Wagyu ranch, right? Why are you still a puppet?"
"My eldest brother saw that my salary at the Wagyu Ranch was relatively low, so he taught me how to make puppets. But I can only do some simple assembly, and I rely on my eldest brother to complete the rest."
"Are puppets very profitable?" Fujiwara Yu doesn't know much about this aspect. In his eyes, this kind of thing is similar to a Barbie doll, and the price should be the same as a toy.
Takeda Yuzo smiled and picked up the assembled puppet in his hand, with a hint of pride in his tone:
"Officer Takaji, don't underestimate this puppet. The puppet made by my elder brother can be sold for one million yen. If something goes wrong with the puppet, repairing it once will cost 700,000 yen!"
Maintenance costs actually account for 70% of the production cost?
This is totally against common sense.
"One million yen? I didn't expect this little thing to be able to catch up with my income for two months? But with such an expensive price, not many people should be willing to buy it, right?" Fujiwara Yu was not exaggerating. According to the police rank he received from the police department, the monthly salary
The income is only about 500,000 yen, and it would take two months without food or water to afford a puppet.
Takeda Yuzo shook his head. He recalled his eldest brother's business and said:
"No, I remember that an old customer took it back for repairs more than ten times! My elder brother often used the saved money to travel abroad with Mr. Negishi. The puppets are sold at such a high price because of Mr. Negishi's sales."
The price of one repair is 700,000 yen. Even if it is repaired ten times, it is still 7 million yen. At this price, you can buy seven new puppets. Why do you need to repair it over and over again?
