Conan hung up the phone.
"Is there a problem?" Mitsuhiko asked.
"Well, it seems that we have no choice but to go out and find the police directly..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Yuan Tai's excited mobilization voice -
"In that case, we'll find the body!"
"Yes, that's good. This way our contribution will be even greater!" Mitsuhiko replied happily.
"I agree!" Ayumi raised her hand excitedly.
These words were heard by Winnet and Xiao Ai who were hiding under the front desk. The two looked at each other as if to say, "These kids really don't learn their lesson."
奺50180909
When they turned into the corridor, Xiao Ai poked Winnet with her finger: "What do you want to do?"
Although everything seemed normal and calm, Winette still noticed something wrong. She thought she would have to at least pick the lock or make a hole in the window to sneak in, but when they arrived, the main door was not locked and there were no guards at the door. Even if thieves would not target the library, the security here was not so good that people could leave their doors unlocked at night.
"Something's wrong. The door wasn't locked when we came in, right?"
"Yeah," Xiao Ai nodded, "Is there any problem with that? Looking at their expressions, they are obviously having a great time."
Winette looked serious.
"Maybe there just hasn't been any problem yet. Hiding drugs here and not locking the door without hiring a guard, I don't think the curator would be so careless."
"what do you mean?"
"Maybe the real 'ghost' is still lurking in this library."
Xiao Ai frowned, but after seeing Winnet's expression, she didn't think this was a joke, so she perked up and became more alert.
Although Winnet said she was used to moving at night, Xiao Ai felt that her eyesight must have affected her in many places. For example, in this dark library, she definitely would not be able to move freely in a place without light.
She nodded, then took Winnet's hand and stood up.
Winnet felt this pull, and inexplicably felt a sense of security, full of strength. Although her vision was indeed blurry in the dark, she had memorized the layout of buildings for a long time and analyzed common structures. As long as it was not a complicated area like a maze, she would not be like a headless fly. The flow of air allowed her to know which way to go. Most importantly, as long as there was a slight movement, she could identify the specific location.
Therefore, unless you know her weakness in advance, there is no way to use it to attack her. In an extremely dark environment, darkness becomes her advantage because the enemy will make wrong judgments due to limited vision.
Winnet followed Ai and was led to the fork in the road that Conan and others had just passed. Although she could not see the specific scenery clearly, she could infer the distance between them by the speed of the children's movement. This corridor was not long and the stairs were at the corner, so they should have just passed it.
Xiaoai's speed is just right so that she won't be discovered.
but--
Winnet covered Ai's mouth and nose and pressed herself against the wall.
During the tracking process, Xiao Ai did not relax her vigilance and looked back from time to time. She was very familiar with Winnet's rough but soft palm, so she was not too panicked when her mouth and nose were covered. She followed close to the wall and saw Winnet making a hushing gesture. She was a little puzzled, and under the guidance of Winnet's finger, she looked forward.
A stealthy figure quietly turned out from another passage.
Ai widened her eyes and stared at the hunched figure in the darkness ahead. She realized that the man's target was the same as theirs, the Junior Detective Team, and combined with her impression of the director Jinchuan, she could easily identify who he was.
"Oh no," Xiao Ai's voice was as soft as a mosquito, "That guy should be Director Jinchuan."
"It seems that he wants to wait until Conan and the others reach a higher level before making his move. It is not easy for a middle-aged man who is old and does not exercise often to catch five of them at the same time. If he lets one of them escape, his information will leak out."
"Ah."
Xiao Ai nodded. Conan and the others went to the public phone just now, they must have discovered something and wanted to notify the police to close the net.
"Just in case, let's just subdue him directly." She said softly. This was an easy thing for Winnett.
"Okay," said Winnett, "I won't let him hurt the kids, but he looks a lot scarier than either of us, doesn't he?"
"When did you become so mean?"
Ai looked a little puzzled, just like when she suddenly came to act. Although it was a good thing to have a lively personality, the novelty was firmly suppressed by the weird feeling. Maybe she was used to Winnet being a good girl in front of her.
When a ray of moonlight shone into the glass window on the side, Winnet, who had taken a step ahead, burst into the gap like a phantom on the water, and flashed by in the gentle light and shadow, but as if no sound happened. Xiao Ai only noticed that her steps were strange and light, probably a way of walking to avoid making any sound.
I am the only one left in this darkness...
Xiao Ai felt a chill on her body, so she took two quick steps to the fork in the road and stuck her head out.
At the end of the field of vision, Ayumi Yoshida, who was very enthusiastic towards her, was squatting on the ground, apparently tying her shoelaces.
Suddenly, a dark shadow enveloped her. His already hunched back now looked like a branch broken by the wind, with his hands raised flat and apart, seeming to be holding something - this dangerous scene made her eyes widen. Then, Winnett appeared like a ghost standing in the gap behind him, with her outstretched hand already on the dark shadow's neck, as if she would attack at any time.
Xiao Ai blinked, feeling a little bit uncomfortable with it psychologically.
If she had not been clearly aware that Winnet was nearby, she would probably have thought that she was like a speck of dust in the air and would not be able to feel her at all.
The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
That's about it.
"Ayumi, what are you doing squatting there?" Conan suddenly turned around and shouted.
This sound startled two people at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, the black shadow and Winnet disappeared.
"You are so mean! I just like this kind of shoes..."
Ayumi said resentfully.
Watching the two people leave safely, she sighed softly:
"It really became like playing a game..."
With Winnet around, there's no need to worry about their safety.
Ai still clearly remembers what happened in the United States. Although it was the version that Winnet told her later, it still sounded similar to the exaggerated characters portrayed in the movies. In fact, she was even more exaggerated than these exaggerated characters. Facing a group of armed gangsters alone, even elite soldiers did not have the ability to do so. Even Vodka casually said: Don't think about going against Aibis, she is a monster that can slaughter an entire special forces team alone.
She continued to stay where she was. After a long while, the black shadow passed the next intersection and quickly caught up with her. Then he stuck his head out and saw Jinchuan standing near the elevator door.
Then he walked towards the stairs again, and the moonlight shining in from the window illuminated the profile of Director Jinchuan.
……
Conan thought that since the library had been searched by the police, the body would definitely not be hidden in a conspicuous place. If Director Jinchuan took action the moment Mr. Tamada discovered these contraband, he would have chosen a nearby place to hide it in a hurry. His familiarity with the body also made him more confident in his intuition that the body was most likely hidden somewhere on the third floor.
There is indeed a hint of corruption.
As a detective, one must have a wide range of knowledge. For this reason, Conan also has some forensic knowledge. A corpse will quickly decompose within 24 hours after death and will emit a corpse odor.
Yutian disappeared the night before yesterday, and two full days have passed.
Meat and fruit are not usually stored in libraries, so the smell of mold is unlikely to come from other sources.
Conan led a few people back to the third floor and began to check the library one by one, but found nothing. They checked almost all the bookshelves, and everyone was so tired that they lay on the floor and sat among the books, with exhaustion written all over their faces.

"In my opinion, no one would hide a body directly on the bookshelf," Conan concluded.
"But didn't the police send people to search carefully in less conspicuous places during the day?"
Mitsuhiko stared blankly.
Yuan Tai muttered, "So now there's nowhere to look..."
At this time, Ayumi came out from behind the piles of books and pointed in the direction of the wall.
"Look, there's a strange bookshelf here. There's a strange handle on that bookshelf."
Then it was time for Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya to explain: "That's the handle of the mobile bookshelf."
"Moving bookshelves?"
"Correct!"
Mitsuhiko quickly climbed up to the bookshelf and demonstrated it to Ayumi. After turning the handle once, the bookshelf began to move outward.
Seeing this, Conan immediately had an idea: if the body was hidden in a movable bookshelf, even if someone moved the bookshelf, it would not be discovered immediately.
"Amazing!"
Ayumi, who was very curious, jumped onto the bookshelf and twisted the handle to play with it, following Mitsuhiko's example; Genta jumped to a bookshelf further inside, gripped the handle with difficulty, and made a dull sound of gritting his teeth.
This voice also attracted Conan's attention.
"What's wrong, Yuanta?"
"This handle is too heavy, I can't turn it!"
Could it be that! ?
Conan ran to the bottom of the bookshelf to help, but seeing that the bookshelf still didn't move, he called Ayumi and Mitsuhiko. The four of them worked together, shouting "three, two, one" and pushed hard at the same time, and finally moved the bookshelf away.
Conan went behind the bookshelf and took a look——
"Strange, there's nothing there."
He walked into the gap between the bookshelf and the wall again and looked carefully, but still found nothing. It seemed that the body was not hidden here! He put his hands in his pockets and walked out, finally figuring out the reason -
"I couldn't move just now because..." He rolled his eyes, "Yuanta, it's because you're too heavy!"
I blushed immediately: "I'm sorry!"
Conan joined in the coaxing, and Ayumi also began to ask Genta about his weight: "Genta, how much do you weigh?"
"Now it's 40 kilograms."
"It's almost twice as much as mine." Mitsuhiko complained.
"I only weigh 15 kilograms now. You should lose weight, Yuanta!" Ayumi followed.
Conan fell into deep thought again and suddenly realized: Yes, he is an elementary school student now. The last time he weighed himself, he was only 18 kilograms, half a pound lighter than that guy Haibara!
"I know! I know where the body is!"
Conan ran out while talking, heading for the stairs to the upper floor. Yuanta and the others immediately followed, calling Conan's name, but Conan did not stop, so that several people went upstairs but did not find Conan's trace. They were so anxious that they kept calling Conan's name, and finally saw Conan walking down the stairs from the upper floor.
"Conan, where have you been? I'm so worried!" Ayumi said anxiously.
"I just went up to the engine room," he said.
"Do you mean the body is hidden in that room?" Yuan Tai asked.
"No, I just went there to switch the elevator door to manual mode."
Conan said as he grabbed the gap of the elevator door and pulled it open with both hands, revealing the dark elevator space in front of the few people. Then, he walked to the up button next to it and pressed it.
"Is the body here?"
"Yes!" Conan said, "The evidence is the ringing sound made by the elevator when we were riding it during the day because it was overloaded."
"But, the elevator alarm rang because there were eight of us in total?" Mitsuhiko asked puzzledly.
"Stupid, we are just kids! The four of us together don't weigh more than 1.5 kilograms, which is only equivalent to adults. Add the weight of the remaining four adults in the elevator and the things they are carrying, and the elevator bell is still one person's weight short of the standard! What's more, two of the four adults are thin women."
"So……"
"Yes, because there was already a person in the elevator from the beginning, in a blind spot above the ceiling where no one could see."
As Conan said, Tamada's body appeared on the ceiling of the elevator that was slowly floating upwards.
Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi were so scared that they huddled together for warmth.
He looked at the body and made inferences.
"From this point of view, I think he might have been strangled to death and then thrown onto the ceiling of the elevator by the murderer." Conan turned his back and continued to explain to them, "All of this was done by Director Jinchuan. Come on, let's call the police now!"
Conan suggested this, but saw that Genta and others looked like they had seen a ghost.
His mouth opened unconsciously and his pupils shrank suddenly, as if he had seen something terrible.
"what happened?"
"Tianjin……"
"Sichuan……"
"Hall..."
Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi simultaneously pointed their fingers behind Conan and each uttered a word.
"Director Jinchuan?"
Conan turned around——
Uh!
