Surviving this year in the world of Conan is victory Chapter 254: The priceless secret of the puppet
Fujiwara Yu, who realized that there was something wrong with the puppet, naturally wanted to talk, so he pretended to be very interested:
"Really? It seems that Mr. Shinichi and Mr. Negishi have a very good relationship?"
"After all, the eldest brother relies on Mr. Negishi for sales. Their relationship is so good that we are closer than our brothers before." Takeda Yuzo felt helpless when he said this, but he was still very happy that his eldest brother was helping him financially.
.
Fujiwara Yu noticed the express carton placed on the wall. After guessing what was inside, he asked knowingly:
"Mr. Yongzo, what's in these boxes?"
"That was the puppet that Mr. Negishi should have taken away that day, but it has been kept there since Mr. Negishi's death." Takeda Yuzo pointed to the newly assembled puppet in front of him and continued: "And after Mr. Negishi's death, my eldest brother discovered
There was one missing puppet, and because the customer kept calling to ask for it, he made a replacement one, and this is the one I installed."
"Then can I open it and take a look?"
"Okay. To be honest, I'm a little worried about how to deal with this batch of goods... My brother is gone, and I don't have the customer's contact information. Hey, it's really difficult." Takeda Yuzo rubbed his head, his face full of tears.
It was sadness. He knew very well in his heart that the family was maintained by the money earned by his eldest brother selling puppets.
Fujiwara Yu crouched down and quietly took out the ribs he carried with him. This ribs was specially made by him. The scabbard was mainly blue and black, with images of waves and cherry blossoms wrapped around the scabbard.
The upper and lower threads are blue and white.
The black blade outlines irregular white lines to form a cloud-like pattern. The blade is very sharp and can pierce tough leather with just a little force - which is why it can be used as a portable armor.
The blade of the knife directly cut through the sealing tape as soon as it touched it. After Yu Fujiwara hid the ribs back to their original positions, he reached out and picked up the puppet contained in the express box.
The costume of the puppet was obviously that of a minister from the Warring States Period. After checking it back and forth, he opened the costume and saw that there were assembly marks on the front of the puppet's belly. He followed the marks and pulled it apart, and the puppet's belly was opened - in
After seeing the familiar things inside, he finally understood why this puppet had such a high maintenance fee.
It's marijuana.
Fujiwara Yu took out the dried cannabis from the puppet's belly and weighed it. It was about half a catty. Calculated based on the price in Japan, this puppet was worth about 1.5 million yen. No wonder the business was so good.
"This puppet is indeed very powerful." Fujiwara Yu put the dried marijuana back into the puppet's belly without expression, put it back intact in the express box, stood up and looked at Takeda Yuzo and asked: "Mr. Yuzo, do you know where Mr. Negishi's house is?"
Where?"
"Hmm? As for Mr. Negishi's house, it's on the other side of the mountain. He has a weird personality and doesn't socialize much with the people around him. He only lives a little closer to my eldest brother, so he is the only one in the area where he lives.
." Although Takeda Yuzo was a little surprised why Sosuke Takaji suddenly asked this question, he still answered it accurately.
"Well, then Mr. Yongsan, you should go back to the living room. It is still dangerous to stay here alone."
"Okay, I'll clean up here and then go over."
Fujiwara Yu opened the door of the Japanese room and was about to leave, when he met Hattori Heiji who came to the puppet studio to look for him. He winked at him twice and signaled to go to a place a little further away to chat.
When Hattori Heiji saw Takaji walking towards the front door without saying a word, he couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Tingji, why don't we go back to the living room?"
"Do you know what I just found in the puppet studio?" Fujiwara Yuu did not stop. Before Hattori asked, he explained: "Dried marijuana, according to the quantity of the express box, the final
At least five kilograms."

"Big, marijuana?!"
Hattori Heiji never thought that this case was related to drugs, but this could also explain why Mr. Shinichi hired a private detective to investigate the cause of Mr. Negishi's death.
"Then we are going to Mr. Negishi's house now?"
"Yes, I suspect that the murderer of Mr. Negishi and Mr. Shinichi is the same person, either Mr. Ryuji or Mr. Robert."
Hattori Heiji frowned and sorted through the existing clues. Based on Takaji's suspicion, he speculated:
"Do you think the two of them are most likely to avenge Misa Takeda? Misa Takeda committed suicide because she accidentally discovered that Mr. Shinichi and Mr. Negishi were selling drugs, so she committed suicide?"
"Well, in order to prove this conjecture, I plan to go to Mr. Negishi's house to have a look. That may be the real scene of the first discovery." Fujiwara Yu nodded, but he still felt something strange in his heart and he was not sure.
The real reason for Misa Takeda's suicide is that she did not commit suicide because she discovered drugs.
According to Takeda Yuzo, the other side of the mountainside is five kilometers away from the Takeda family.
In order not to disturb the Takeda family, they had no choice but to go there by running.
Fujiwara Yu, who was born in the police academy, is particularly good in physical strength. Five kilometers is a piece of cake for him, but it is a bit tiring for Hattori Heiji... Although running five kilometers is not difficult for him, it is still tiring.
It's quite annoying.
"arrive."
Hattori Heiji raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He roughly understood why he was so tired. Because Takaji-san was 1.9 meters tall and his legs were longer than his own, so he needed to run faster to keep up. It would be strange if he wasn't tired.
Woolen cloth!
It's completely "pushing back the growth" and forcing yourself to keep up with the opponent's speed.
"Huh... Brother Yingji, wait for me... Huh... let me calm down my heart rate."
"Go back and strengthen your kendo practice. Your physical fitness is too poor."
Hattori Heiji, who was resting on a tree trunk, looked like he was about to cry. All he could think about was: I want to drink more milk, and I must be as tall as Takaji-san when I grow up.
If Fujiwara Yu could hear Hattori's thoughts, he would definitely say mercilessly: Give up, you can't help but grow to 1.8 meters.
After Hattori Heiji stopped breathing, the two of them approached the dark Negishi House.
Hattori Heiji walked around Negishi House, his brows almost twisted into a Chinese curl, and he said with a grimace on his face:
"Brother Yingji, the back door and windows are also locked. There is nothing we can do..."
Katsa.
Before he could finish speaking, the front door lock was picked open by Fujiwara Yu.
After the two stared at each other for a while, Fujiwara Yu shrugged his shoulders and said calmly:
"Well, you can pick the lock when necessary, but you can't learn if you're not a policeman, do you understand?"
"……I see."
Fujiwara Yu took out his spare white gloves and handed them to Hattori Heiji. The two of them sneaked into Negishi House with flashlights in hand, preparing to find the scene of the first discovery and the notepad recording all transaction partners.
There was nothing suspicious on the first floor. Just when Fujiwara Yuu was about to go up to the second floor, Hattori Heiji's voice came from the second floor.
"Brother Yingji, come up quickly! We've found something!"
