Ryuji Takeda warmly welcomed the arrival of several people, but he did not give a good look when he saw Robert Taylor, which surprised Fujiwara Yu and others. They wondered what unknown things had happened between the two.
"Hey? This is my big brother, Takeda Shinichi!" Takeda Ryuji smiled and introduced today's guest to his big brother, Takeda Shinichi, after seeing him. "Big brother, haven't you always wanted to find a private detective to investigate Mr. Negishi's suicide? This is Detective Takashi Sosuke from the Osaka Police Headquarters. He happened to be investigated by Mr. Negishi's friend. Why don't you ask him for help?"
Takeda Shinichi's eyes widened when he heard the word "criminal police," and he looked completely frightened. However, he quickly recovered and rubbed the back of his head with a wry smile.
"What a surprise! It's actually a detective? How can you have the nerve to ask the police to help investigate such a trivial matter?"
Fujiwara Yu, who is good at observing other people's expressions, can naturally tell the difference between surprise and fright. It seems that Takeda Shinichi does not want the police to get involved in this matter. No wonder he wants to find a private detective. Detective is a gray profession, and those with low morals will indeed help conceal some things.
Negishi's suicide is indeed problematic, and it can also be ruled out that Takeda Shinichi was not the one who wrote the letter of commission.
"I'm just an ordinary policeman. My skills might not even be as good as a private detective. If Mr. Shinichi needs me, I will do my best." Fujiwara Yu tried hard to put on a fake smile on his face. It was really not easy to say such insincere words.
In order to prevent himself from laughing out loud, Hattori Heiji had to turn his back. From the way his shoulders moved up and down, it was clear that he was about to get internal injuries.
What an ordinary little policeman, what is going all out, Brother Yingsi is really good at making up stories.
At this point, Takeda Shinichi naturally would not refuse. He smiled kindly at the two children beside Takashi Sosuke and asked:
"Are these two your children? But you look very young, you don't seem to have a family background."
The words "Married, do not disturb" that Toyama Kazuha said a few days ago came to her mind. She suddenly felt that the current scene was a bit harmonious, just like a young divorced father raising two children with great difficulty... No, no, no, this won't do. In this way, she and Heiji will really become siblings.
Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes and looked at Kazuha. He had no idea what this guy was doing, laughing and shaking his head wildly. It couldn't be that something was wrong with his head.
Fujiwara Yuu's eyes instantly turned into small dots. Did he already look like a father? He didn't want to have two more children for no reason, so he quickly waved his hand and explained:
"No, they are my friends. When they heard I was coming to Tottori Prefecture, they insisted on coming along to play."
Upon hearing this, Takeda Shinichi felt inexplicably relieved, and the smile on his face became much more natural. Obviously, he thought that it was unreliable for a police officer to have children with him while investigating a case, and there was nothing to worry about unreliable police officers.
When Robert Taylor saw someone he was familiar with finally appear before him, he quickly stepped forward and asked:
"Long time no see, Mr. Xinyi. I'm here today to thank you for something that happened three years ago."
"Oh! You're Rob, right? Long time no see." Takeda Shinichi smiled and looked to the side, then continued, "You're so polite. It just so happens that my two nieces, Sae and Emi, are here. Didn't you get along very well in the past?"
Robert Taylor's expression finally relaxed a bit after hearing the two familiar names. He had been quite sad since learning of Misa's suicide. Seeing the two identical little girls with long hair, he knew they were the twin sisters he had met three years ago. He squatted down, smiled, and reached out to rub their heads as he always did.
"Sae, Emi, you've grown so big!"
However, the rubbing of their heads was in vain. The two little girls quickly took a step back and said something that startled everyone present:
"murderer."
"?"
"They're here to kill again, again... It's scary... So scary..." Takeda Sae and Takeda Emi huddled together and whispered, but every word they said was heard by everyone.
Fujiwara Yu and Hattori Heiji looked at each other in tacit understanding, and they both read from each other's eyes: Sure enough, there are other hidden stories behind these three suicide cases.
"Sae! Emi! What nonsense are you two talking about? This is so rude!
"Takeda Yoko didn't expect her two daughters to talk nonsense, and she immediately scolded them.
"Wooow, Mom is scary too!"
Watching her twin daughters run away, Takeda Yoko sighed helplessly. She looked at Robert Taylor with an apologetic look on her face:
"Rob, I'm sorry. Don't take it to heart."
"It's okay." Robert Taylor forced a smile. He originally wanted to thank Takeda Misa, but now he was said to be the murderer of Misa, and he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
Takeda Shinichi reached out and patted Robert Taylor on the shoulder twice, then changed the subject:
"Everyone, don't just stand there. Let's go inside and prepare to enjoy dinner. The temperature in the countryside and the mountains is still very low. You should dress warmly to avoid catching a cold."
After sitting in the house, the Takeda family warmly entertained the guests. The dishes on the table were very consistent with the local characteristics of Tottori Prefecture - in addition to various dishes made with snow crab, there was also a hot pot filled with black hair Wagyu beef slices.
Takeda Shinichi picked up a glass of Inaba Tsuru's strong pure rice daiginjo, a popular brewery from a long-established brewery in Tottori Prefecture, and offered a sip to Takashi Sosuke, who was sitting next to him. He pointed at the Wagyu hot pot bubbling in front of him and said with a smile:
