Jinchuan shouted, determined to find the eavesdropper.
He pushed open the glass door and looked around, but didn't see anyone.
Was it an illusion? But the door did move. What if someone heard it? Jinchuan had a fierce mental struggle. He looked back every three steps and walked towards the stairs suspiciously.
But he still didn't go downstairs. If the peeper was hiding in a corner of the third floor, his departure would give him an opportunity, so he had to search every corner!
Jinchuan thought about it, he slowed down his pace, tried to keep the noise down as much as possible, appeared at every intersection and entrance as quickly as possible, making sure his vision covered every corner.
He went into the men's room.
The environment was still quiet. Jinchuan put his hands on his waist and abdomen, slowly put his hands on the door handle of the toilet cubicle, then quickly pulled it and shouted "Here", hoping that the other party would reveal a flaw.
At this time, Conan and his companions were hiding in such a single room. As the initial hiding place, this men's restroom gave them a greater sense of security, but Director Jinchuan walked in unexpectedly. With no way out, Conan chose to gamble on his luck and squeezed with Yuanta and the others at the edge of the restroom, on the side of the bolt. Fortunately, they were small in size and Jinchuan did not go in to check, but the moment the door was opened, they were still covered in cold sweats, their hearts almost rose to their throats, their palms tightly pressed against their thighs had soaked the edges of their pants, and their eyes were wide open like boiled eggs.
You absolutely cannot go out for the time being!
Conan and the others reached a consensus with their eyes.
About five minutes later, they left the room under Conan's lead and slowly walked to the toilet door. Yuan Tai, who was already hungry, held his stomach and was about to speak when Conan held his mouth. Conan made a shushing gesture and looked at the direction of the glass door. Jinchuan was coming out from inside, still looking alert. Conan heard the sound of the elevator running and thought that Jinchuan was finally going back.
"Good! He went back."
Conan clenched his fists and ran to the library where Jinchuan had been.
After giving up the search for them, Jinchuan returned there. Conan thought that those original foreign books of unknown origin must have some secrets hidden in them, so he decided to start his investigation from there.
Conan jumped onto the countertop and took out a book case from the box. He picked it up and found it was empty, the book was gone.
"I think he must have taken the things inside away in his briefcase," Mitsuhiko said.
"That's impossible. There are still many empty boxes here. He couldn't have taken them all away. The remaining ones must have been hidden somewhere in this room by the curator."
Conan said affirmatively as he poured out the empty boxes from the cardboard box.
"It seems that we must find the book first before looking for the body."
"So now it's our Junior Detective Team's turn to take the stage!" Ayumi shouted excitedly.
Conan saw that the others were also relieved, and with an excited look on his face, his cheeks slightly sweaty, he gritted his teeth and said -
"Yup!"
As a reliable high school detective, now is not the time to dampen the morale of a kid! Conan strikes a pose that he thinks is handsome, with his hands on his hips and his thumbs raised.
"Let's start from this bookshelf! We will split into two teams and investigate the books on both sides of the bookshelf."
"it is good!"
The three of them cheered together.
Conan was just about to start checking——
At this moment, the lights suddenly came on.
He was shocked and looked back quickly.
"Idiot! Why are you lighting the lamp!?"
Conan's tone was heavy in a hurry. Ayumi, who was standing on a stool to turn on the light, heard Conan's rebuke and replied pitifully:
"But it's so dark here..."
Conan ran up to her.
"What if the curator sees us?"
"Don't worry, he must have gone back." Yuantai agreed.
Conan couldn't let such a big source of instability go unchecked. He immediately jumped onto a stool and turned off the light, then turned to the window and looked downstairs. Seeing that there was no suspicious figure in the atrium, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the curator has really gone back.
……
"Any questions?"
Winnett saw Xiaoai's thoughtful expression and asked subconsciously.
"Ah, when I was in the library with them, the police came looking for someone..."
If what Winnet said was true, and the library had contraband, then it was likely that Yutian, who was on duty, had discovered them and was killed by someone else. If the murderer was the director of the library—
"Edogawa and the others might be in danger."
"Danger?"
Dr. Agasa murmured.
"Well, I thought they were just trying to learn from the police to investigate the library... Now it seems that the body might really be in the library..."
"So……"
Just as Winnet was about to speak, she heard Xiaoai scream.
"what!"
Xiao Ai suddenly thought of the elevator being overloaded. If there was nothing wrong with the elevator itself, it meant that there were other people in the elevator at the time.
That corpse!
"Edogawa and the others are in danger!"
If Kudo was alone, the situation might not be a cause for concern, but he has three small children with him, so problems could easily arise.
Ai knew that Winnet was kind to children. When they first met, Winnet treated her as a child, although she denied this with her actions.
If you call the police directly, the other party may not believe you.
So Ai decided to ask Winnet for help.
"If they discover something and it is exposed to the curator, they will probably be killed in the same way. Winnett, we have to rescue them."
Winnet didn't say much, but answered with a change in expression.
It's faster to run than to call a taxi.
"Dr. Agasa, I'll borrow Ai for a while."
What Winette heard was "we".
Xiao Ai glanced at Winnet and said nothing. The two walked out of the room together. Not long after she felt the wind, Xiao Ai felt a sense of weightlessness - she was held horizontally by Winnet. Then she spoke of Winnet's "rude" behavior in a tone of shame, anger and some sarcasm.
"This is to speed up the process," Winnett replied with a smile. "If they really encounter something bad in the library, it would be a pity if they were in danger! So I decided to run and get to the library as quickly as possible."
Xiao Ai was speechless. She was usually very reserved with her words, but she couldn't control herself in front of Winnet. Being hugged by her like this and walking on the street, she had the urge to close her eyes.
And it wasn't comfortable at all.
Incredibly, without even moving her arms, Winnett ran as fast as a frightened rabbit.
It was probably less than a song's time before the Rice Flower Library appeared in their field of vision. When the field of vision changed again, they had arrived in front of a courtyard with ornamental plants.
"I said soon."
"Oh! Let's just call it that. It was a terrible experience."
Xiao Ai landed from Winnet's arms and smoothed her hair that was messed up by the wind. Fortunately, she was not wearing a skirt, so it was not a problem.
At this moment, the lights in the library suddenly flashed.
Xiao Ai looked at the location of the light, which was the children's books and periodicals area on the third floor, where they stayed in the afternoon. At present, it seemed that they had not encountered any danger. If there was any danger, turning on the light would be equivalent to exposing themselves.
"It seems like they are having a great time. They are like hothouse flowers, and they are full of curiosity about storms and thunder. It seems that they cannot remember their own stupidity and dangers without experiencing danger a few times. The same goes for Kudo..."
"Indeed, he is a guy who doesn't understand the risks. He actually went after Gin and sent him to his door. But he does have one advantage. He is extremely lucky. He was drugged but his body became smaller. He is still alive and well despite all the murders that happened around him."
Xiao Ai looked at the library and patted Winnet's thigh, indicating that they should move forward.
Then, she saw Winnett acting like a little girl, with an expression that looked like she was about to play a prank. Ai vaguely guessed what she meant.
"You're thinking……"
"Since there's a chance, let's scare them a little."
Winnet said this with a smile, then squatted down and faced Ai, raising her right palm.
QQ: 914 9 0 37 98
It's a really puzzling thought.
But it's quite interesting.
"Then I'll be your ghost for once, to prevent them from doing such dangerous things again."
Xiao Ai and Winnet high-fived and reached a consensus.
They decided not to appear directly in front of the young detectives, but only after confirming their safety.
As soon as she stepped into the library hall, Winnet heard the sound of conversation. The voices were natural and mellow, and it was almost certain that they were children's voices.
She pulled Xiao Ai to hide under the front desk counter and peeked under the edge of the table. In less than half a minute, she saw the figures of the Junior Detective Team. Several people gathered in front of the public phone on the first floor.
……
301 Strange Pu class?
After the lights-on episode ended, Conan and his friends quickly started checking the bookshelf, taking down the books and then simply flipping through them. They did this for a while but didn't find any useful information. Conan flipped through the children's books in front of him out of boredom, while Mitsuhiko, who was in his group, had already taken down all the books on one side.
After moving the last stack of books onto the table, Mitsuhiko asked Conan: "Did you find any strange books?"
"No, not yet."
"So it shouldn't be on this bookshelf. We have already taken all the books down."
Free Skirt 950180 909
Conan was attracted by Mitsuhiko's words. He glanced at the bookshelf and found that the books on it were still densely packed, but one side of the pages was facing him and Mitsuhiko. He couldn't help but complain: "But Genta didn't move the books down!"
Conan jumped off the table, came to the other side of the bookshelf, and called out to Yuanta. Yuanta was so tired that he sat on the ground to rest. He took the initiative to ask Conan: "Conan, what are you doing? Move all the books over there!"
Conan looked at the bookshelf and found that the same situation was happening on Yuanta's side, with one side of the pages facing them -
"That's weird. I clearly moved the book away."
Conan pulled out one of the books and immediately discovered its specialness——
"Why doesn't this book have a back cover?"
"Really."
Upon hearing this, Yuantai immediately picked up a row of books from the bookshelf, all of which were exactly the same as the one Conan took out.
"Oh, by the way, in fact, those original foreign books are not placed upside down in the book cover, but there is no cover on the outside of the book cover!"
"How is this going?"
"That is to say, the curator placed these books without backings between the books, so that there are three rows of books on the bookshelf in total. In this way, no matter who takes the books on the surface, they will always see the pages from their side and think they are the books on the opposite side, without realizing that there is a row of books in the middle. This is also the children's book and newspaper area, and the people reading are all children, so naturally they will not notice it. The reason why these books look a bit uneven is that some books are pushed too hard."
"But why did he do that?" Ayumi asked.
"If such a strange thing is made abroad and then imported into China, I think it might contain a pistol or -"
Conan forcefully opened the book in his hand. As he expected, the book had a special cover with a secret compartment in the middle glued together, which contained an opaque square packaging bag.
"It's an illegal drug..."
Genta and others followed Conan's example and opened the "book", finding the same bags stuffed inside.
"In other words, Director Jinchuan is actually smuggling contraband." Mitsuhiko said.
"Yes, he keeps the contraband here and takes some out for trading each time."
Conan frowned slightly. There was such a big package in one book. It could be said that it was a huge amount if it filled the entire bookshelf, as much as hundreds of kilograms. If this was a continuous operation, Director Jinchuan would probably output several tons.
Such a quantity is not something that a private individual can afford.
"I think that Mr. Tamada might have discovered these things by chance, so Director Jinchuan killed him to silence him."
His words shocked Yuantai and others.
It is not a good idea to continue searching for the body when encountering such a big thing. Since the contraband has been found, the police should believe them and re-investigate the library. Conan suggested calling the police. The three giants who were frightened by the "murder" also nodded and returned to the lobby on the first floor. In order to make it easier to reach the public telephone, Yuantai also moved a stool over.
Conan picked up the phone and dialed, but all he got in response was a beep.
"That's strange, why doesn't it work?"
