Gin doesn't want to work hard

Kazuo Tamada discovered the truth.

His first instinct was to call the police.

But soon he remembered that he was still in the library, and the librarian was very likely watching him from somewhere!

The thought startled Tamada Kazuo.

His hand trembled, and the "book" in his hand fell to the ground.

"boom!"

The book fell to the ground with a dull thud.

This was especially clear in the quiet library.

……

"boom!"

The museum director, Hideharu Tsugawa, who was not far away, also heard the sound.

He instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Upon seeing the exact location from which the sound originated, Hideharu Tsugawa's expression changed.

Without time to explain further, Tsugawa Hideji said a brief goodbye and hurried off there.

Seeing his reaction, Conan frowned.

From the very beginning, he felt that there was something wrong with the curator.

The two were clearly talking about "Hirota Masami".

Logically, as the museum director, Hideharu Tsugawa should have had more to say.

But ironically, it was mostly Conan who was talking just now.

Hideharu Tsugawa seems to be very interested in what Masami Hirota did before.

The conversation was subtly trying to get Conan to talk more about related matters.

Hideji Tsugawa's guidance was very subtle.

If it were an ordinary child, they probably wouldn't have noticed anything amiss and would have simply told everything they knew, following Tsugawa Hideji's lead.

But the fake Conan is different.

He keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Faced with Tsugawa Hideji's prompting, Conan pretended not to have noticed anything while only mentioning trivial matters.

At the same time, Conan didn't forget to try and get information out of Tsugawa Hideji.

It can only be said that both of them gained something from that conversation.

Although it was unclear what Hideji Tsugawa was trying to do.

But there's one thing Conan is absolutely certain of.

That is, this curator, Hideji Tsugawa, must be hiding some secret.

Think of this.

Without hesitation, Conan jumped off the stool and chased after Hideji Tsugawa.

……

When Tsugawa Hideji arrived, Tamada Kazuo was bending down to pick up a book.

"what are you doing?"

Hideharu Tsugawa's face was somewhat gloomy.

Upon hearing this, Tamada Kazuo looked up.

He seemed somewhat surprised to see Hideharu Tsugawa.

But he didn't stop picking up the books.

Tamada Kazuo picked up the book and gestured to Tsugawa Hideji.

"I accidentally dropped this book on the floor while I was wiping the bookshelf."

"I'm so sorry, curator, it was my carelessness."

Hideji Tsugawa glanced at the book in his hand.

It is indeed a normal children's book.

But Hideharu Tsugawa still had some doubts.

"Is that right?"

"Yutian, you didn't see anything you shouldn't have seen, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Tamada Kazuo's body trembled violently.

He couldn't stop sweating from breaking out on his forehead.

"How...how could this be? I don't understand what you're saying..."

As he said this, Tamada Kazuo dared not look directly into Tsugawa Hideharu's suspicious eyes.

He then used the act of putting the books down to avoid Tsugawa Hideji's gaze.

Seeing this, Tsugawa Hideji had an idea.

He sneered, and his gaze toward Tamada Kazuo gradually turned cold.

"Uncle Curator, what are you doing?"

A sudden sound broke the tense atmosphere.

But it was Conan who came with Hideji Tsugawa.

Upon hearing this, Tsugawa Hideji immediately put on a smiling face and turned around.

"It's Conan."

"We didn't do anything, it's just that the uncle accidentally dropped the book."

"I'm telling him to be more careful in the future."

"That's it..."

Conan looked thoughtfully at Kazuo Tamada.

"Uncle, is that really true?"

Not wanting to linger, Tamada Kazuo hurriedly nodded and left under the pretext of wiping the bookshelf.

Tsugawa Hideji stared intently at his retreating figure, a murderous intent rising within him.

"Alright, Conan, you should go back now."

"Your friend is looking for you."

Hideji Tsugawa nudged Conan.

Conan turned his head and indeed saw Ayumi and the others waving at him.

"Uncle Curator..."

Conan wanted to say something, but when he turned around, Tsugawa Hideji was already gone.

Thinking about what had just happened and the two people's strange behavior, Conan became increasingly convinced that there was a secret hidden in this library.

"Conan, hurry back!"

"I haven't finished writing my book report yet!"

Just as Conan was about to investigate further, Ayumi came over and pulled him back.

"Do not……"

Just as Conan was about to refuse, he met Ayumi's expectant gaze.

"Could it be that Conan has made some discovery?"

"Is there something wrong with this library?"

"If that's really the case, then it's time for our Junior Detective League to step in!"

"What? Is it our turn to perform?"

Genta and Mitsuhiko also ran over.

Conan gave an awkward smile as he looked at the three enthusiastic elementary school students in front of him.

"No la!"

"Let's go back and continue writing our book reports!"

Conan quickly persuaded them to go back.

As for doing some exploration, I'll save that for when I come alone later...

……

After the others left.

Akemi Miyano walked out from the other side of the bookshelf.

She was there when Yutian and the male general's books fell.

Therefore, she noticed not only Tamada Kazuo's hurried actions of hiding the book.

She also overheard the conversation between Tamada and the curator.

Akemi Miyano went to the center of the bookshelf and took out a book from the outside.

Then, imitating Tamada Kazuo, she pulled out the "book" inside as well.

When Akemi Miyano opened the book and saw the bag containing white powder inside, she was not surprised.

She took out her phone, snapped a few photos, and then restored everything to its original state.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she turned and left.
