Chapter 522 Encounter at the Bookstore

"Let's keep it simple first. Focus on the school and residence, and look for nearby places where you can borrow books. I think her way of borrowing books will also attract the attention of the store staff."

Gao Yuan analyzed and said, Miss Today Zi also nodded in agreement.

So the two walked out of the room and back into the car.

At the same time, Yinguan Usuke, who was locked in the car, didn't seem to try anything, just waited quietly in the car, looking at Gao Yuan and Miss Jinzi who came back with resentment—

"Break into someone's house...it's not right."

Feeling a little helpless, Yinguan Usuke seemed to have guessed what the two of them did just now. He was a little depressed, but he still said so.

"However, for being able to speak so quietly, Mr. Usuke understands our painstaking efforts. I am very grateful!"

To this, Miss Today Zi couldn't help but reply.

"But next, there will be a place where Mr. Yinguan needs help."

Gao Yuan couldn't help saying.

"Did you find anything?"

Seemingly still sulking, Yinkan Usuke didn't seem to be interested in such a conversation.

"No."

Ms. Today Zi looked at Yinguan Usuke seriously, and suddenly said out loud, but this couldn't help but startled Yinguan Usuke——

"Hey?"

Completely puzzled, Usuke Ekaku made a confused voice.

"But because there is none, I need your help for the next thing."

Gao Yuan couldn't help saying:
"Based on Ms. Hidden Hall's experience, do you know anything about the stores or libraries nearby where you can borrow books?"

"What do you mean?"

Yinguan Usuke asked still puzzled:
"What book are you looking for?"

"No, Mr. Usuke!"

Miss Today Zi couldn't help saying:

"We just thought that 'The Last Word Girl' must have other channels to borrow books besides the school library, so we wanted to look around to see if we could find that place."

"Huh? If we find it, we will know why she committed suicide?"

Yinguan Usuke couldn't help being a little surprised and said unexpectedly.

"Not sure."

"Not sure."

Faced with this question, Gao Yuan and Ms. Today Zi expressed the same meaning, although they said it differently.

"Hey……"

Hearing this, Yinguan Usuke couldn't help feeling disappointed——

"But at least one direction."

Miss Today said:
"Besides, I also want to read that comic book to see if I can understand why the 'Girl with Last Words' chose to use the lines in that comic book as a disguise for her last words."

"It's true about this... After all, it was a manga that was popular more than ten years ago, but it seems that because the style was too depressing, it was not reprinted in the future. The complete comic book has come down. Most of them are dilapidated and lonely copies.”

Gao Yuan couldn't help saying:
"If you search on the Internet now, you can't find all the content of the manga, but you can still see the source of the words quoted by the girl."

"But what kind of story does the whole manga tell, why the girl wants to use the lines of this manga as her last words, this is always a mystery."

Miss Today Zi said.

"That manga...is it called "A Girl Only Belongs to Me"?"

After listening to the discussion between the two, and the seemingly hopeless appearance, Yinguan Usuke couldn't help asking tentatively.

"Yes."

Gao Yuan nodded.

"If that's the case, I know the comic is there!"

Yinguan Usuke said very seriously...

……

"Infinite Ancient Book Hall", this is an old bookstore located not too far from Sakuraba Women's College and Hazuki Yaka's house, and it is also the place where Esuke worked in the former hidden library.

It was because of resigning from this second-hand bookstore that Ukusuke Yinkan entered Sakuraba Women's Academy and got a formal job.

It's just that Yinguan Usuke never expected that he would come back here again in such a way.

Gao Yuan drove the car outside the store, but Yinguan Usuke offered not to get out of the car this time to check it out. It seemed that thinking of his experience of resigning from this store, Yinguan Usuke felt embarrassed to walk into this store again.

So, Gao Yuan and Miss Today Zi also got off the car and walked into the shop together——

"May I ask, has this girl been here before?"

Walking into the bookstore, Ms. Today Zi looked at the room full of books, as well as all kinds of rare old mystery novels, as if she had entered a paradise, she plunged into the pile of books, and began to wander around in front of various bookshelves.

In contrast, Gao Yuan first came to the counter of this store, and saw that there was only one staff member inside—according to Yinguan Usuke, this is the store manager, a man in his 30s. man.

Regarding this, Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone, found Ye Yue Yage's photo, and asked the store manager for verification.

The store manager is a gentle man with a bookish air, which seems to match the temperament of this ancient bookstore very well——

After hearing Gao Yuan's question, the store manager pushed the glasses on his face, looked closer to the mobile phone screen that Gao Yuan showed, and then looked at Gao Yuan with a puzzled expression, as if he was asking who he was——

"I'm her brother. She ran away from home. I, and her sister, are looking for her now."

Gao Yuan made up a reason at random and replied like this.

"Is your whereabouts unknown?"

Slightly surprised, the store manager said with a surprised expression on his face, as if he was very surprised.

"Yes, we're worried about her."

Seeing the store manager's reaction, Gao Yuan couldn't help but continue.

"That's why I haven't come here recently..."

The store manager couldn't help sighing.

In response to this, Gao Yuan immediately regained his spirits, showing a very shocked expression, eagerly leaning in front of the store manager, and asking anxiously.

At the same time, Ms. Kyoko reluctantly moved her gaze away from the bookshelf with mystery novels, and turned to the bookshelf with comic books, and began to look for her target——

""A Girl Only Belongs to Me"..."

Muttering the name of the manga in her mouth, Miss Kyoko bent over, pointed at the neatly placed books on the bookshelf, and moved them row by row——

"Ah! Found it!"

Soon, Miss Kyoko found what she was looking for on the bookshelf, and then she showed a surprised expression, and she reached out to take out the manga——

However, at this moment, a hand grabbed the manga before Miss Kyoko.

Because of Miss Today's bent posture, she couldn't help feeling a little disgusted with the opponent who stood behind her and reached out to snatch the target she was already optimistic about.

Immediately, he couldn't help turning his head, and turned to look at who this rude person was.

What came into view was a handsome and handsome young man in a beige suit and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses——

"Sorry, but let me take a look first, miss."

Showing an elegant smile, seeing Miss Kyoko's slightly depressed pouting expression, the young man responded politely.
