The rain is still falling, drizzling.

Under the care of Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha's emotions have calmed down. Even though she is still a little scared, she feels much better with someone by her side, and she no longer feels the helplessness of being alone.

Hattori Heiji wanted to continue investigating the case with Takashi-kun, but he was worried about Kazuha being alone, so he chose to accompany her. With nothing else to do, he casually picked up a shojo manga lying on the tatami, flipped it open, and after a few glances, he stared at Kazuha lying in bed without saying a word.

"Why are you staring at me? Is there something dirty on my face?" Toyama Kazuha's heart beat faster. She didn't know why she felt shy when being stared at by Heiji, and she even stuttered when speaking.

Hattori Heiji shook the girl's comic in his hand, glared with his half-moon eyes and said mercilessly:

"I just wanted to see what guys who like this kind of comic books look like. You girls really don't understand. How could you actually like this type of guy?"

After saying this, he turned his head awkwardly, but observed He Ye's expression changes out of the corner of his eye, wanting to see what she was thinking.

"Who said I like this type of boy? This is just what my friend pushed on me!" Toyama Kazuha frowned and retorted. She was not interested in the character of the male protagonist Daomingsi Tsukasa at all. The only boy she was interested in was... Heiji.

"Oh, I see."

Hattori Heiji threw the comic book casually, and when he turned his back, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up. It seems that Kazuha doesn't like this kind of unrestrained pretty boy.

"Heiji, you don't have to accompany me. You're very interested in this case, right?"

"...Idiot, don't you believe in Brother Yingsi's ability?"

You're more important than the case, idiot.

Toyama Kazuha tilted her head. She knew that Heiji had been passionate about reasoning since he was a child. When he first entered junior high school, he even boasted that he would become a famous detective in the Kansai region. Thinking of this, she got out of bed and said with a smile:

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books at the moment is Huanyuanapp, which is the best app for changing sources and installing the latest version.]

"Of course I trust Brother Takashi, but I want to go play with Sae and Emie now, so Heiji, please don't follow me."

"Huh? Are you sure you don't want to rest?"

Yuanshan Heye stood up and jumped twice, showing that she was fully recovered:

"Well, I've fully recovered. If you're worried, just send me to them."

"Okay, if you feel unwell, you can call me anytime. Do you have your phone with you?"

"I know, I'm not a child anymore!"

After sending Toyama Kazuha to the two children's room, Hattori Heiji quickly ran towards the living room. When he opened the door of the Japanese-style room, he found that Toji-kun was not inside. In addition, Takeda Yuzo was not there either.

He looked around to make sure that the two were gone before asking:

"Mr. Ryuji, have you seen Brother Yingsi? Why isn't he here?"

"Officer Takashi just left. He went to the puppet studio to look for Yuzo." Takeda Ryuji looked at Hattori Heiji, holding a teacup, and apologized, "Is it okay to leave the girl alone? Does Shioya need to take care of her?"

"It's okay. Ye is with your daughters. Besides, as long as you stay here and don't move around, nothing like that will happen again."

Hattori Heiji left after saying this, but the people in the living room looked at each other in confusion. They all understood the subtext of this sentence.

Takeda Yoko frowned worriedly. She leaned over to her husband and whispered:

"Ryuji, what that young man meant... is the murderer among us?"

"Maybe. I don't know who was so cruel to the eldest brother. It's good that we are together now and can supervise each other." Takeda Ryuji answered in a low voice. His eyes drifted to Robert Taylor who was fiddling with the camera. For some reason, he vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Rob.

He didn't believe that there were man-eating spider monsters in this world. There were only murderous demons in this world.

A few minutes ago.

After learning that Takeda Yuzo was alone in the puppet studio, Fujiwara Yu got up and went to the studio. He had always been suspicious of Mr. Yuzo. After all, apart from the victim Mr. Shinichi, he was the only one in this family who had a connection with the puppet line.

He knocked politely from outside the door, then opened it when he heard a sound from inside.

When Takeda Yuzo saw that it was Takashi Sosuke, he smiled and asked:

"It's Officer Ying Si, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

The puppet studio was located diagonally across from the warehouse, and both were within walking distance of the residential area. Furthermore, the soundproofing was excellent; if Takeda Yuzo had stayed inside, he wouldn't have heard the noise.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is lying.

"Well, a little incident happened just now, but thankfully the murderer didn't succeed. I was worried you might be in danger being alone, so I came to check on you." Fujiwara Yu bent down to take off his shoes, then smiled as he stood up. "It looks like you're alright."

"Eh? Has the murderer struck again?" Takeda Yuzo's face showed surprise. This expression didn't look like an act. He sighed and fiddled with the puppet in his hand, his face a little depressed. "Oh, something like this happened at home. I really don't know what to do."

Fujiwara Yu raised his eyebrows, took a few steps closer and asked:
