Conan: Death is Watching Me

Chapter 57: The Child King Gao Mo

"what?"

After washing her hands, Ayumi realized that she was the only one left.

It seemed as if some ghost was lurking in the darkness around.

"Really? Why don't you wait for me..."

"what!"

Suddenly, an arm pulled the frightened Ayumi away, and in the dim light, she could vaguely see the face of a young man with squinty eyes and glasses.

"It's the uncle during the day..."

"Shh!"

Gao Mo didn't want to attract the other children to cause trouble, so he pushed Ayumi behind him and walked straight to the corner of the corridor.

Director Jinchuan was lying in ambush in the corner, holding the rope tightly with both hands. He heard the noise and peeked out in confusion. Seeing that it was Gao Mo, his face was immediately filled with astonishment: "Hiragi? Why are you here? Could it be that you..."

"Director, I already know about the drug incident and Mr. Yutian's situation. They don't allow me to move the bookshelves freely because they're worried about the drugs hidden in the books being discovered, and there are also hidden surveillance cameras in the library..."

Gao Mo's fingers touched the fake prop gun.

"Anyway, if the police knew, they would try to find the body. Why not just tell me where it is?"

I didn't want to have a head-on conflict, but there was nothing I could do when I encountered it.

Get into the role quickly.

"you wanna die!"

Jinchuan's face was ferocious, and while talking he took out a steel pipe from somewhere.

"Fool, you actually delivered yourself to the door..."

"Wow!"

Gao Mo's eyes glowed, and with his eagle vision he could clearly see Jinchuan's devilishly distorted face.

As if because he had killed someone before, he subconsciously regarded himself as a hunter, and his wide-open eyes were filled with excitement and madness.

If it were Xiaolan, she might be scared.

Gao Mo moved sideways, facing Jinchuan who was rushing towards him in slow motion, and slowly and quickly took out the prop gun.

The body's reaction still couldn't keep up with Eagle Vision, but it was much smoother than before.

The other party's reaction was slower than his.

"Can we talk about this now?"

"Gulu!"

Jinchuan's body was stiff. Feeling the cold muzzle of the gun pressed against his forehead, he dared not move, and cold sweat kept pouring out.

The employee who squinted normally during the day suddenly opened his eyes like a lion.

The sound alone is inexplicably terrifying.

"Are you a policeman?"

Jinchuan asked in a trembling voice, but when he met Gao Mo's eyes he immediately denied it.

The police are not that scary.

Killer?
Even more terrifying than the foreign leaders he had seen, like a demon walking out of a pile of corpses, the embodiment of death...

"Don't, don't mess around!" Jin Chuan avoided Gao Mo's sight and breathed disorderly, "You can't run away if you shoot here. I can give you money, a lot of money..."

"Tell me where the body is." Gao Mo said in a cold voice.

He has used quick transitions to play the killer.

A killer disguised as a librarian...seems reasonable.

"Say!"

"What corpse? I really don't know!" Jinchuan swallowed his saliva, "If you want to help Yutian get revenge, don't look for me... The police said it has nothing to do with me!"

Gao Mo paid attention to Jinchuan's eyes.

The more you care about something, the more you can't help but look at it.

The old man glanced towards the elevator.

Yes.

A light flashed in Gao Mo's mind.

At that time, Conan and his friends did run up the stairs because they were overweight.

But how heavy could a few children be? Add to that the other people in the elevator and the ancient books held by the curator, and it would not be easy to reach the elevator's weight limit.

The truth is that there was another adult in the elevator.

The body is hidden above the elevator——

Just like he relied on the murder case to hide himself, this old man also played a trick of hiding himself in the dark.

The police, Conan and he took the elevator back and forth and didn't notice anything wrong.

Although there was a faint odor in the library, it was difficult for the human sense of smell to pinpoint the source, so I subconsciously thought it was the smell from the toilet next door...

"If you don't say it, I'll say it for you."

Gao Mo pointed his gun forward under Ayumi's nervous gaze.

"The police couldn't find the body during the day because it was right above them. You used a trick that defied common sense. It was a very bold idea."

"No," Jinchuan trembled and sweated, "What tricks could I have? Yutian Kazuo's death has nothing to do with me..."

"You also admit that he is dead."

Gao Mo was amused by the old man.

"How about we play a game? If there's a body in the elevator, you'll be damned if you lie to me. If there's no body, I'll throw you in there as a corpse..."

"Let me go! I don't want to do that!"

The steel pipe in Jinchuan's hand slipped, and under Gao Mo's eagle eyes, he was so scared that he screamed and fell to the ground, raising his hands in horror.

He completely turned into a little old man who was just trying to survive.

He looked like he was having a mental breakdown and wanted to hug Gao Mo's thighs.

"Don't kill me! I did hide the body in the elevator... It was him... He saw the drugs I hid in the children's area, so..."

"Bang!" Gao Mo knocked Jinchuan down with the butt of his gun, preventing the old man from getting close.

Then he bent down and took out a dagger from his body.

A sinister old man.

"So awesome! Big brother, are you a detective?" Ayumi was both scared and excited, her body shaking as she instinctively grabbed Gao Mo's trouser leg.

"I'm a police officer. Next time if you have any problems, just call the police. Don't mess around anymore."

Gao Mo came out of his acting state, picked up the rope that Jinchuan dropped, and tied his hands and feet behind his back.

Jinchuan was trembling throughout the whole process and completely lost his spirit.

I always hear people talking about childhood trauma, and it turns out it's just this serious.

Gao Mo stretched out his finger and then took out a flip phone from the other person's suit pocket.

Just as he was about to call Megure, Conan's anxious voice rang out from inside the building. "Ayumi! Where did you go, Ayumi?!"

"Ayumi!"

"Stop scaring us!"

I just realized it now...

Gao Mo pulled the girl who wanted to respond and gently signaled her to shut up: "Can you teach them a lesson?"

"Yeah!" Ayumi nodded vigorously with a red face.

"Well, wait until the other police arrive before you go out and tell them the body is on top of the elevator."

Gao Mo turned around and kicked Jinchuan, then found a rope from the toilet, tied the guy up like a dumpling and threw him into the toilet cubicle.

"Be quiet and don't make any noise."

Although this role-playing is easy, it seems that I won’t get much money. I hope I can draw some good things.

"Big brother, where are you going?" Ayumi peeked out from the ladies' room.

"I'll go get someone, be good."

Gao Mo pressed his finger on the collar transformer and roughly adjusted it to a hoarse old man's voice and shouted: "Who's over there?!!"

The effect was very obvious. Conan and the others who were already running towards the hall were immediately scared back.

You can hear the child's teeth chattering through the wall.

In order to avoid being attacked by Conan using his high-tech sneakers, Gao Mo did not chase after him.

He shook his head, sent a message to Megure using Jinchuan's phone, threw it away, and walked out of the library as if he had accomplished his mission.

At night, a crescent moon hangs above my head, the moonlight is bright, and a cool evening breeze blows towards me.

This was probably the first time he was involved in an incident and didn't feel the presence of Death.

[Mission completed, rewards being drawn...]

Notes appear on the streets at night.

[Received 2 stars for "Director Tsukawa's Daily Life in the Library" and 2 stars for "Takagi Wataru's Daily Life in the Metropolitan Police Department"]

【Good performance, reward 2 stars】

[Included profession, Librarian level 1, new professional talent "Kid King". As a librarian in the children's area, you are very good at managing children and are naturally close to and trusting of children (normal children)]

[Librarian upgrade requires 20 stars, related 4-star career books]

……

There is no death participation, so finding the body doesn’t count?

2 2-star daily books, and a new profession: librarian...

Only level 1?

In his previous life, he was a regular employee and was considered a senior librarian, but he actually skipped a level.

But this professional talent...

Gao Mo pushed his glasses, feeling very subtle.

It seems to have some scientific meaning, but it is not easy to evaluate.

In terms of talent, detectives and actors are more reliable.

"Ugh——!"

It was not until an hour later that Megure led the team back to the library, as if he had temporarily taken a break from other cases.

The body and drugs were successfully seized, and Director Jinchuan was taken into the police car in a dejected manner.

The Junior Detectives were questioned by the police in the lobby.

"A handsome policeman wearing glasses?" Megure gestured at Ayumi in bewilderment, "Who is that?"

"Ayumi must be talking about the big brother in the library on the third floor?" Conan thought and looked at the darkness outside the library.

The more I think about it, the more familiar it feels. Plus, I deliberately scared them...

"Where are they? Are they gone?"

"I'll talk to him tomorrow..."

Gao Mo saw the library incident end from afar, then turned around and left with peace of mind.

I plan to go home, take a shower, and then upgrade my detective profession.

"call!"

Take off gloves, wigs and glasses, rub your face with your fingers, peel off your false eyebrows, and easily remove the facial disguise stickers...

Although he still needed to go home and use special makeup remover to clean up the mess, it seemed that he had successfully separated himself from the pseudonym "Hiragi Shiro".

After performing it several times, I became more and more proficient in it.

I just don't know at what level the performance evaluation will be better than good.

This time, the additional upgrade condition for the actor's next stage lv3 was also completed - two good evaluations.

But if level 4 requires a good rating or above, he might be stuck for a long time.

"Buzz!"

The phone in his arms vibrated, and as soon as he answered it, Conan's resentful voice came: "That Hiiragi Shiro must be you, right? I should have noticed it from the beginning... Why are you everywhere?"

"You should be everywhere," Gao Mo interrupted, "I went to work at the library this morning."

"That's true, but Kido-nii, what are you really trying to achieve by working like this? You even tried to scare us just now..."

Conan paused and was silent for a moment before he spoke hesitantly.

"Today... Thank you. If it weren't for you, Ayumi might have..."

"I've been watching... I just want you to be more careful next time. Don't forget that they are just children after all. You can't change their perception of the case and treat it as a game."

When Gao Mo talked about this, he felt like vomiting. He opened his mouth, but finally calmed down.

"If you really want to establish a youth detective team, the first thing you need to do is to give them a correct understanding of the case... Only when they have the correct awareness can they be considered a true detective team."

“I actually noticed that…”

Conan really wanted to say that those little brats didn't listen to him at all.

Even the detective team forced him to join.

Those guys are only more obedient in front of Gao Mo.

But it is indeed embarrassing to think that I cannot control my children.

"Brother Kido, how about you become the advisor to the Junior Detectives?"

"I don't have the time to be a babysitter. Remember to keep this a secret for me."

Gao Mo reminded and continued to ask.

"I've entrusted the detective agency's paperwork to Kogoro. When will the paperwork for your house be completed?"

"Dr. Agasa can act as your agent," Conan responded before realizing, "You want that uncle to run the detective agency for you?"
