Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

Miyazawa Suzuna's fighting ability is actually quite strong, even stronger than that of an average adult. If her body weren't still developing and she weren't a girl, she could probably subdue a strong man by now.

"Rena-neechan, have you discovered anything?"

Conan was getting impatient. Based on his years of intuition as a famous detective, he was certain that this Director Tsugawa was the murderer who killed Yuta Kazuo.

However, this is just his feeling at the moment, without any direct evidence or corroboration. Further action is needed to verify his judgment.

He originally planned to find a place to hide first, and then search the library after it closed to find evidence of his crimes.

Conan was surprised that Miyazawa Suzuna had a way to get close enough to observe him. When he saw how sharp her skills were, Conan's lips twitched.

Can someone tell me, is this still a primary school student? Is this still ten years old?

How could a ten-year-old girl so easily accomplish such a difficult task?

Sure enough, anything becomes abnormal when you're with Miyazaki Yu. What's wrong with this world? Everything is so unscientific!

He now feels that he is the only true human being.

"Rena-neechan is amazing!"

The three idiots of Teitan surrounded Rena, showering her with compliments. Children are at the age when they love to dream, and what they admire most are heroes with superhuman strength.

For example, characters like Kamen Rider are idolized by children, and this is even more true now, as he is a real-life master and a member of their small group.

A sense of honor and pride welled up instantly!

Rena ignored the children's admiration and said directly, "I saw it. That person had a very scary expression. When I saw his smile, I actually felt a little uneasy. So it can be almost certain that the employee's disappearance is related to him."

This was in line with Conan's expectations, and he immediately nodded.

Yuan Tai scratched his head and said, "But isn't this too strange? The police have been searching for so long and haven't found it."

Mitsuhiko, being a smart person among ordinary people, made a different judgment.

"This shows that Director Tsugawa's method of hiding the body is extremely clever. It might be somewhere in the library, which is exactly the time when our Junior Detective League needs to be here!"

It was almost five o'clock when the police left. After the group hid, it quickly got dark.

The once bustling library gradually grew quiet over time, until no sound could be heard at all.

Immediately afterwards, several guys rushed out all at once, which left Conan speechless. Were these guys all so casual?

Miyazawa Suzuna frowned and said, "Everyone, be careful. Although we're the only ones left in the library now, there's no guarantee that Director Tsugawa won't come back. So, everyone should be careful and try not to make any noise that might cause unnecessary trouble. This is a murder case!"

The kids nodded mechanically, but just then, the elevator at the stairwell suddenly lit up, and they all tensed up instantly.

Conan quickly led the others to hide around the corner. Soon, the elevator doors opened, and a tall, thin figure stepped out. His ugly face, under the dim light of the elevator, looked like a vengeful ghost, which filled the group with fear.

It has to be said that some people are born evil spirits. Even when they are kind, they exude a ferocious aura. Once they kill someone, they can no longer hide this aura.

Conan's immediate conclusion that he was the culprit was inseparable from the guy's unique temperament.

Just as he thought, this guy had a stench that belonged only to murderers!

Director Tsugawa walked straight into the hall, observed the situation in the library, and smiled slightly.

He couldn't help but start talking to himself.

"These policemen are really stupid. They just went back like that, without even realizing that Yuta was sleeping in this library," he said, and then burst into laughter.

This is what many criminals have in common.

After deceiving the judicial authorities, they experience an indescribable sense of pleasure, as if they have accomplished some great feat.

However, the curator of the museum, Tsugawa, did not understand that his little tricks, even if they could fool the police for a short time, were ultimately only temporary.

At this moment, he was unaware that his actions had already been noticed by several children.

Overjoyed, Director Tsugawa put numerous sealed books into his briefcase; these books were his disguise for transporting drugs.

He hollowed out the middle of the books, hid drugs inside, and then used plastic film to disguise the whole book as a new one. He then brazenly placed these items in the children's book section.

Then, by using those specially made books without spines and with leaves on both sides, they can disguise themselves in the bookshelf as if they were non-existent books, and openly place the drugs on the table!

It must be said that Director Tsugawa's methods were indeed quite clever, exploiting blind spots in people's minds.

However, this method also carries risks. It is very effective against children, but if there is a very careful adult employee, it can easily be exposed.

After all, it's hard for kids who only spend a short time in the library to notice these little tricks, but for people who work here year-round, it's only a matter of time before they do.

After he left, the group, led by Conan, began searching for clues.

However, it must be said that the teenagers' ability to court death is indeed very strong.

A chubby boy named Genta complained of being hungry as soon as Director Tsugawa left. Ayumi was even more outrageous, as she immediately went and turned on the light switch.

Although Rena reacted quickly and closed the door the moment it was opened, it still clearly created a huge hidden danger.

This fleeting glimmer of light was also spotted by Director Tsugawa, who had just come downstairs.

Then what happened was the same as in the original timeline.

Conan led the group to discover the secret of the book, but they were unaware that Director Tsugawa had secretly returned and was watching everything from the shadows.

Then came the search for the deceased's body. Conan quickly connected the unusual situation he encountered in the elevator earlier that day and deduced that the body was hidden on top of the elevator car. It was the weight of an adult on top that caused the elevator to be overloaded.

So Conan ran upstairs, switched the elevator to manual mode, opened the elevator doors, and started the elevator.

Conan, somewhat smug, began to explain Director Tsugawa's modus operandi.

But then, the most terrifying scene unfolded.

As the elevator slowly rose, the opened elevator doors no longer concealed the blind spot where the body was hidden. When the elevator was raised to be level with the aisle, Yuta Kazuo's body appeared in everyone's view as it was slowly lifted.

But this was just the beginning. As the elevator continued to ascend, a chilling figure with eyes emitting a terrifying red light slowly rose into view!

His face was expressionless, like a statue.

The dark environment and terrifying appearance made the curator, Tsugawa, appear like a real demon, exuding a terrifying murderous aura.

"Kids, it's getting late. Why are you still lingering here? Come on, let's go home together, okay?"

But his smile was now filled with a sinister intent.

Chapter 245 Miyazawa Reina Makes a Move

It must be said that the scene, coupled with Director Tsugawa's intriguingly ugly face and his ferocious expression, was enough to instill a chilling fear in anyone.

No wonder, this guy who only appeared in one episode in the original work was able to leave such a deep impression on the audience.

At this moment, the children were all trembling with fear. A feeling of terror flowed through their bodies like an electric current, and they were even too scared to move.

Conan was anxious: "No, we have to find a way to turn the tide now, otherwise this guy is an adult after all, and he will definitely be caught if we confront him head-on."

He hurriedly whispered a few words of advice to everyone, then looked directly at Director Tsugawa's fearful face.

"Director Tsugawa, don't underestimate us just because we're kids. We know all about your business!"

At this moment, Director Tsugawa also felt a sense of cat catching mouse, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his eyes narrowed as if he were smiling.

"Oh dear, little one, what are you saying? Come here quickly and let me take you home. Otherwise, your parents will be worried."

Conan sneered, "Director Tsugawa, we already have evidence, such as the method of hiding drugs in the bookshelves, and we also know about the murder of Mr. Yuta to silence him!"

"What!".

These words were a huge shock to Director Tsugawa as well.

For anyone, having their long-hidden secrets exposed all at once would be a huge blow.

Even the shrewd and calculating Director Tsugawa is no exception.

He finally started to take the elementary school students in front of him seriously.

"How do you know all this? Who are you?!"

Conan, with a solemn expression, said, "My name is Conan Edogawa, and I am a detective!"

"detective?"

Detectives hold a special place in the neon-lit world. For many criminals, they are even more intimidating than the police, because the police are easily identifiable in a crowd, while detectives can blend into the crowd and disappear without a trace, making them a major headache for criminals.

Because for criminals in Japan, the mere mention of "detective" evokes an instinctive sense of unease.

However, this was exactly the effect Conan wanted to achieve. While Director Tsugawa was still in shock, the remaining people quietly entered the elevator and pressed the down button, causing the elevator to descend rapidly.

"Success!"

Director Tsugawa also discovered this and was furious. These brats had discovered his secret, and he could not let them live.

Suddenly, he raised an iron rod and swung it at Conan.

However, Conan is no pushover. Although his body has shrunk and his strength has decreased, his agility has increased. He slipped under the other person's armpit in an instant and then slid in to successfully enter the elevator.

"Phew—" Conan also let out a long breath.

"That's great, Conan, you're awesome!"

Genta couldn't help but sigh in admiration when he saw Conan's agile movements.

Conan smiled and was about to continue speaking when he suddenly froze, because one person was missing from the entire group.

"She's gone! Where did Rena go?"

Ayumi hurriedly explained, "Rena-neechan just told me that we're going to split up and she's going to deal with that guy by herself."

Conan immediately became anxious.

"What? She's going to take on Director Tsugawa all by herself? That's ridiculous! This won't do! She'll be killed!"

However, these few children offered a different perspective.

"Conan, don't underestimate Rena-neechan! She's incredibly powerful. We've all seen her do it. She single-handedly beat several thugs into a ruckus!" the chubby Genta said earnestly.

Ayumi nodded in agreement: "That's right. Rena-neechan told us that she studied under a great swordsman, and ordinary people are no match for her!"

These words immediately eased Conan's anxiety considerably.

She thought to herself, "That's right, Rena isn't an ordinary little girl. She's the apprentice of that perverted Miyazaki Yu. If she can really learn something, dealing with a curator like Tsugawa will be a piece of cake."

Thinking back to the scene where Miyazaki Yu made a move, a smile crept onto his face.

He had witnessed the other party using his sword to block an anti-materiel sniper rifle; he was simply an inhuman freak!

Perhaps I should have more faith in that little girl.
