Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 55 Rice Flower Library

Time: the morning of the day agreed in the invitation letter.

Gao Mo did not go for his usual morning run. After getting up, he took out the tool box he had prepared in advance and carefully put on makeup and disguised himself at the sink.

It’s still not a complicated makeup, but if you don’t want to look old, the details still need to be adjusted.

The wig hairstyle is changed to medium-length choppy hair, the skin color can be slightly sickly, and a pair of glasses is worn.

And gloves... to prevent fingerprints from being exposed.

He looks like an educated youth, so he should be quite suitable for the job of librarian.

As for the name...

Gao Mo rubbed his brows.

I have to think of a name every time I perform, which is actually quite tiring.

Well, last time it was Sanlang, this time just call him Silang.

……

"Hiiragi Shiro?"

Rice Flower Library, lobby.

The old curator with a skinny face took the invitation and looked at Gao Mo with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.

"That's it. Yutian, who's in charge of the children's library on the third floor, has disappeared somewhere. You take over his position and look after the kids who like to run around.

"By the way, it's best not to touch the books. If you have any questions, come directly to me... I'm the director here, Jinchuan."

"it is good."

Gao Mo watched Director Jinchuan leave with his hands behind his back.

As soon as I started working, I saw a faint light above this guy's head. When I focused my attention, several glowing words appeared -

[The location of the body is still unreliable. Find a way to get rid of it before the police come.]

[Keep an eye on the new guy, we can't let the drugs get discovered again]

I have so many ideas.

Gao Mo withdrew his gaze calmly.

I asked the front desk clerk to fill out a form, asked for manuals, certificates and other information, and then took the elevator to the 3rd floor.

It seems the last children's section librarian had been killed by this director.

He arrived at the perfect time.

This seems to be the first time the murderer has sent him an invitation?

I just don't know where the former librarian's body is hidden.

I can't remember it at all, and it even hurts a little when I force myself to recall it.

"Ding!"

The elevator opened and Gao Mo walked along the corridor towards the library.

Unlike the downstairs, probably because of the school, there was no one in the children's area. The open glass door was blown a little, and the atmosphere was inexplicably weird.

There is a toilet on the left side of the elevator and stairs to the right. Perhaps for psychological reasons, I can faintly smell the stench of a corpse.

The body must be hidden somewhere. No wonder the curator is in a hurry to deal with it. In two days, it will be impossible to hide it.

Gao Mo glanced at it casually, then reached into his pocket and lightly grasped the prop gun.

Compared to the sword art that requires hard training, the truth is more direct. Even if it is just fake, it still makes him feel more at ease.

When not firing, there is not much difference between a fake gun and a real gun - unless it looks fake at first glance.

The other party is just an ordinary old man, and his body is equivalent to that of a normal young man. As long as he is not attacked by surprise, there is actually nothing to be afraid of.

Entering the library, Gao Mo noticed a camera in the corner of the ceiling out of the corner of his eye.

The curator was probably observing from a distance.

Drugs hidden in the library?
Gao Mo narrowed his eyes, pretending to be working normally, found his desk as he was used to, and started to slack off in front of the surveillance camera.

"call!"

In the security room, Director Jinchuan was breathing heavily, staring at the surveillance screen with his eyes bulging like a dead fish for more than ten minutes before he finally felt relieved.

He was not afraid that the temporary employee would be lazy, but he was afraid that he would rummage through the documents like his predecessor did.

Anyone who has killed someone knows that the real trouble is dealing with the body.

One was hard enough to deal with, and he really didn't want another.

The disappearance of two people in succession can easily arouse the police's suspicion.

"I hope you're not as stupid as Yutian," Jinchuan chuckled darkly. "Hehe, I've already warned you not to mess with the books." (Image: Hehe, I'll kill you.)
……

The job of a librarian is boring, at least that's what Gao Mo thinks.

It wasn't until the afternoon that children entered the children's room, most of them brought by their parents to play.

The work tasks were even simpler than in his previous life. He just had to look after the books and put them back in their original places.

Even if he did nothing, Director Jinchuan, who came to inspect occasionally, always had a smiling face and a satisfied look on his face.

It’s still boring to slack off for the first time.

Gao Mo leaned back in his chair with his head tilted back, picked up a book as a projection medium, and continued to study several high-star books on his body.

[Book Abilities: Makeup lv3, Shooting lv2, Reasoning lv2, Swordsmanship lv0]

The first three items had just been upgraded recently, and nothing could be figured out in a short period of time, so Gao Mo could only continue to study the "Kendo Guide".

Don’t worry about the actual practice, just master the theory first.

"Really? Why are you guys here at the library too? I'm the one who hasn't submitted my winter break reading report..."

Conan's familiar complaining voice came from outside the library.

I looked up slightly and saw Ayumi and the other three kids pushing Conan towards the bookshelf.

After all, he is a high school detective named Kudo Shinichi, but he can't control a few kids and has no status at all.

This guy……

Gao Mo squinted his eyes and looked at the group of little ghosts.

I have to say, seeing Conan's arrogant look, he also has a desire to bully.

He always looks like everyone else is a fool.

"cough!"

Gao Mo coughed loudly to remind Ayumi and the others who were chasing and playing.

"Just be quiet when you come to the library. Didn't Kamen Rider teach you that?"

"Big brother, do you watch Kamen Rider too?"

The three little ones looked curiously at Gao Mo's disguise as a squinty-eyed employee, but they stopped fooling around and started looking for their favorite comic books.

Conan, with his hands in his pockets, glanced at Gao Mo.

I just felt that he looked familiar, but I didn't realize it was Gao Mo - I probably wouldn't have thought that any librarian I met would be Gao Mo.

Normal people don't role-play everywhere.

"Uncle," Conan pointed at the unevenly arranged books on the bookshelf, "You haven't arranged these books properly, they are all crooked... Uncle, are you being lazy?"

"Don't worry about this kind of thing, kid."

Gao Mo sat back down and continued flipping through the book.

If he wasn't afraid of disturbing himself, he wouldn't want to take care of these children.

It turns out that the other kids are easy to deal with, and the only real naughty kid is Conan.

"Uncle," Conan had no interest in reading children's books, and suddenly observed Gao Mo carefully, "You are holding the book upside down. You are really just being lazy, right?"

"The book is in my heart, so what does it matter whether it's positive or negative?"

Gao Mo turned a page of the carrier book in his hand without changing his expression.

"If you don't want to read children's books, you can go to other libraries..."

"Conan, come quickly!"

Ayumi and the others seemed to have discovered something, and they stood on tiptoe around the window, pointing and talking.

"There's a police car parked down there. Did something happen?"

"police car?"

Director Jinchuan, who was passing by again, had a slightly changed expression. He walked to the window and looked down, and sure enough, he saw a group of policemen walking into the museum.

It came so quickly.

Have you discovered something?
Jinchuan's face was uncertain. He looked at Gao Mo suspiciously but shook his head secretly.

The newcomer was under his nose the whole time and knew nothing about the whole thing.

It should just be a routine police investigation.

"Hiragi, I'll trouble you here," Jinchuan said, holding a box of ancient books. "I'll go down and take a look at the situation... Don't rush to sort the books on the bookshelf."
