Gin doesn't want to work hard

In addition, they were all busy eating that day and didn't pay much attention to Miyano Akemi and the others.

So even now, when they meet again, none of them recognize each other.

Conan: ...

Nevertheless, Conan has no intention of giving up so easily.

Since the person in front of me claims to be a new employee, perhaps I can start from that angle.

Just as Conan was about to continue testing the waters...

Akemi Miyano didn't want to stay there any longer.

She originally just wanted to use these children to explore the surrounding area.

After all, she had searched the entire library for the past few days but still couldn't find what she was looking for.

However, according to her observation, her target, the librarian, seemed to pay special attention to the children's section.

Perhaps, there is some clue she missed in this place.

But as soon as Akemi Miyano entered the children's area, the curator immediately noticed her.

To avoid alerting the curator, Miyano Akemi chatted with Ayumi and the others for a while.

But then he unexpectedly ran into Conan.

He even called out my real name...

Because of this unexpected turn of events, the curator, who had already looked away, turned his gaze back over.

To avoid any further complications, Akemi Miyano decided to leave first.

"I'm sorry, I have work to do and I probably can't continue telling you stories."

Akemi Miyano smiled apologetically and got up to leave.

"Wait……"

Conan tried to stop her, but Ayumi held him back.

"Alright, Conan, you can't disturb Masami-neechan's work!"

"Shall we work on the book report together?"

Akemi Miyano walked out naturally, and as she passed Kurosawa, she smiled and nodded at him.

Kurosawa returned a smile and watched her leave.

Seeing this, Conan was somewhat discouraged.

But he quickly cheered up again.

It's okay, at least we know she (Akami Miyano) works at the library!

After that, he can send Ayumi and the others away and then come back with Kurosawa.

With this in mind, Conan suppressed his anxiety and began to write his book report seriously.

……

Kurosawa sat down opposite Conan, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping across the entire library, but in reality, he was searching for Miyano Akemi.

Kurosawa had some guesses as to why Miyano Akemi was here.

If you calculate the time, today is already the third day since Kurosawa gave Miyano Akemi the mission.

That is, the last day.

As per Kurosawa's request, Akemi Miyano must kill someone today.

As for who to kill, the fact that Miyano Akemi is here means she has already chosen her target.

And the target, barring any unforeseen circumstances, is the people in the library.

Now that they've run into each other, Kurosawa doesn't mind seeing for himself whether Miyano Akemi can really bring herself to do it.

Therefore, finding her is the first step.

Kurosawa turned his head to look in one direction.

Although Akemi Miyano acted very discreetly.

But Kurosawa still noticed it.

Her gaze kept drifting in that direction.

Kurosawa saw an old man with a sunken face and a bald head.

The man, who had been looking at the bookshelf in front of him, seemed to notice Kurosawa's gaze and turned to look at him as well.

Seeing that Kurosawa was indeed looking at him, the man simply walked towards him.

"Hello, my name is Hideji Tsugawa, and I am the librarian of this library."

The man, who was also the curator, Tsugawa Hideji, introduced himself to Kurosawa.

Kurosawa nodded, "Kurosawa Formation."

At this moment, Ayumi and the others also noticed the person who had suddenly walked over.

They looked at Hideharu Tsugawa with a hint of curiosity.

Conan, however, thought of Akemi Miyano and asked a question.

"Uncle Curator, was the lady we were chatting with earlier also a staff member of the museum?"

Tsugawa Hideji was delighted to hear this. He had come here to inquire about Miyano Akemi, but he hadn't expected the child to bring it up on her own initiative.

He nodded and gave a brief explanation.

"That's right, Ms. Hirota started working here a couple of days ago."

"Besides myself, there are only two other employees in our library."

“When things get a little busy, it’s easy to get overwhelmed, so I was thinking of hiring another person.”

After saying that, Tsugawa Hideji asked, seemingly casually.

"I saw Ms. Hirota chatting with you earlier. What did you talk about?"

Conan found this rather strange.

But since the topic was still about Akemi Miyano, Conan didn't mind continuing the conversation.

So the two people, each with their own thoughts, started chatting happily about Akemi Miyano.

Chapter 93 The Curator's Secret

the other side.

Kazuo Tamada, a long-time employee of the library, is wiping down the bookshelves.

After wiping one side of the bookshelf, he naturally turned around and continued wiping the other side.

Suddenly, a gap appeared in the book in front of me.

Tamada Kazuo was not surprised by this; it was simply that the books that were originally placed there had been borrowed.

His hands didn't stop moving; they were about to pass through this area and continue forward.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the gap, and a sense of unease suddenly welled up in Yutian Kazuo's heart.

He stopped and bent down to look at the empty space.

What came into view were the closed pages of a book, seemingly the book opposite.

But Kazuo Tamada remembered very clearly that the book opposite him in that spot should have been borrowed by someone else as well.

Because he had just wiped that side, he was pretty sure he hadn't misremembered.

Moreover, no one has come to return the book since then.

After all, this is a children's bookshelf.

When children come to return books, they will inevitably make some noise.

But Kazuo Tamada never heard anything like it.

He couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Tamada Kazuo raised his hand, preparing to pull out the book to take a look.

When he pulled the book out, he was surprised to find that the "book" had no spine.

Looking at the strange book, Tamada Kazuo tentatively opened it.

The book was indeed opened, but what was inside startled him.

The inside of the book had been completely hollowed out, and a bag filled with white powder was stuffed inside.

"This, this is..."

Tamada Kazuo was somewhat shocked.

"Could it be that……"

Tamada Kazuo had a certain guess.

He took a book from the side.

Unsurprisingly, what was revealed were still the pages of a book.

He swallowed hard and carefully pulled the "book" out of it.

Just like the previous one, it's a "book" without a spine.

Or rather, it's just a shell.

Seeing that it was also stuffed with a bag of powder, Tamada Kazuo was certain.

This bookshelf is probably full of these kinds of "books".

And besides the curator, there is no one else who has the ability to do this without anyone knowing!

No wonder the curator always pays special attention to this bookshelf.
