In the evening, I returned to my uncle's bookstore. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe antique Urondo décor made me relax, and the layout of the room full of books was also reassuring. My whole body became loose. I'm so tired today. Fatigue doesn't just come from transferring schools, it's the weird classmates around me who are the real source of trouble. In the afternoon class, I formed an English study group with Suspect No. 1 of the Murderer, Mr. Hongdao, and greeted Suspect No. 2 of the Murderer between classes, and took two math lessons with Yu. I almost collapsed.

"Uncle...... I'm back......"

I said weakly, then looked up at the counter. Kushimasa was reading a book while eating tempura.

"Ahh I thought I would be able to get out of the clutches of the oak when I left school. Besides, why did she come to my house faster than I did!

Yu had a nonchalant expression. She jumped up to me, didn't even look at me, and then hopped up and down to the bookshelf. As if she were in her own home, she naturally flipped through the book with her oil-stained fingers. The uncle came out of the back room, holding his hands with an unhappy expression.

"This guy stands here every day and looks, looks, looks. I didn't buy a single one. ”

"I'm investigating the strange things that are happening, so I need to look up the information in this bookstore!"

"Hey, this is my bookstore!"

"Ahh

"Ah, Xiao Yu, do you want to stop tasting the shrimp balls I made, this is my confidence!" the uncle wiped his hand on his apron, and then walked back to the back room with a satisfied smile. And I also took advantage of the conversation between my uncle and Kushi, and looked at the cover of the book that Kushimi was reading.

"Angering the 100 Japanese high school girls who transferred from the United States and whose families were bookstores...... Square...... I grabbed Yu by the shoulder angrily, "This is pointing at me! It must be pointing at me! So you are deliberately teasing me? And why is there such a strange book!"

"Isn't that weird?" said Yu as he looked at the back cover lightly, "I think it's okay, this is a book from ten years ago, and I don't think it has anything to do with you, papier-maki-nir. Ten years ago, you weren't in elementary school. ”

"Why did such a strange book come out ten years ago? And what clues can you find by looking at this! There should be better books......

I said, glancing at the bookshelves around me. I remember that there should be books such as "Criminal Investigation Encyclopedia" and "How to Solve the Case of Abandoned Corpses". Suddenly, I saw a somewhat familiar person on the side of the bookshelf. A pitch-black suit and leather shoes, a dark purple tie, and thick-looking leather gloves—ah, isn't this Mr. Duan who appeared in the park yesterday?

"I know you're there!Mr. Duan!" said Yu without even looking up as he flipped through the book full of methods to provoke me. Mr. Duan was taken aback, but he still walked over with a steady step.

"Ah, it's still so noble! Mr. Duan!"

"Ah...... It's over. Mr. Duan said with the same baritone voice as in the opera. He stood calmly in front of Hibiscus, and then smiled, "Hello, Xiao Hibi." ”

"I've been seeing you a lot lately, Mr. Duan. Yu casually threw the book aside and looked at Mr. Duan with a suspicious gaze, "In the park where the body was found, the police were there during the interrogation, and then I met you here again." Are you concerned about my self-initiated investigation?"

Mr. Duan's expression froze. I couldn't help but take a step back. I then remembered that this person also appeared in the park yesterday, which means that he may also be the murderer.

"Mr. Duan's words are a writer of detective novels. Yu waited for Mr. Duan while circling around him, "It's the kind of detective novel with a hunting color." Do you often need to savor the feeling of killing......

"Ah...... ......The wrinkles on Mr. Duan's face were piled up, and he looked very nervous.

"I mean, what's going on with this?"

Yu suddenly turned to Mr. Duan's side and asked, pointing at his neck. I cautiously stepped forward to see that Mr. Duan had two band-aids on his neck. But the wound seemed to be very long, and the band-aid could not cover it completely. I compared the wound to my own fingernails. Well, the wound looked very much like a wound scratched by a woman's fingernails.

"Huh, is it a wound from a fight with someone?"

"Ah...... This is when I quarreled with my wife......" Mr. Duan explained as he wiped the sweat from his forehead, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Yu.

"What an old-fashioned explanation. Suddenly he turned to my side and pushed me out, "You think so, papier-mâché." ”

Wait, why did you suddenly get me involved! Didn't Mr. Duan stare at me fiercely?

"Paper roe...... Ah, I remember the owner of this shop mentioned you......"

"That doesn't matter. Hibi shrugged his shoulders and said, "You see, the reason why Papierma Roe is so cowering must be because she senses that you are a prisoner." Alright, let's tell the truth, Mr. Duan!"

Mr. Duan reached out with his leather-gloved hand, and I instinctively avoided it. Aren't the people wearing leather gloves on TV usually murderers? This action of mine seemed to irritate Mr. Duan, and I saw that he was convulsing all over his body, and his face was distorted.

"Oak ...... Paper caviar ......"

Mr. Duan squeezed a few words out of his teeth, and then suddenly froze with a strange expression. As if bored, he touched the wound on Mr. Duan's neck, but Mr. Duan remained motionless. Uncle heard the voice in the back room and walked out. He saw Teacher Duan who was frozen and showed a helpless expression.

"Ahh Uncle grabbed Mr. Duan's hand and moved up and down, "You two are really bad enough to force Mr. Duan to this point." Mr. Duan is not in good health, he often freezes like this, you have to be gentle with him!"

"Huh, is it going to be like this?"

I looked at Teacher Duan, who was frozen and didn't move, and couldn't help but be stunned. It's not a robot, so why do you freeze still? And can this kind of physical fitness really kill people? The uncle left behind Mr. Duan's back, as if he wanted Mr. Duan to send him back to his home. Yu Norimo looked at the book as if he had completely forgotten what had happened before. Are the books here that good?

I followed the example of the oak and swept my gaze off the bookshelf. Suddenly, my eyes were drawn to a book. The pale pink cover, cute illustrations, and a familiar title.

"Ah, it's Jack and Emily. Why, do you like it very much?"

"Ahh I've only seen the last volume!"

"So you like to read this kind of sweet and greasy love novels. Yu pouted.

"Loved it...... I just like it. I pushed my glasses a little annoyed, "I've only seen the first volume before, but I haven't been able to find the next volume......"

"That's because it stopped printing halfway through. "I can't find it anywhere else, but I definitely have it in this bookstore." This bookstore has everything in it, and you can find the book you want as long as you have a wish. ”

"That's right......" Hiki seemed to say something difficult to understand, but I didn't listen to it at all, and the only thing on my mind now was to hurry up and finish reading this fantastic next volume.

"Oh, I'm looking forward to the ending......" Hibiki pressed his face over, "Then I'll tell you, the ending is like this, it's really exciting!"

"No need...... No need ......"

I hurriedly grabbed the book and ran out of the Unon Hall. I've been looking forward to this next volume for two whole years.,It's so dangerous.,I almost got spoiled.。 I cautiously peeked through the crack in the door into the bookstore. It seems that he has lost interest in me, and is holding on to other books with relish. But if I go back, I'm sure I'll continue to be caught by spoilers. This must not happen, and I will find a teahouse to read the book before going back.

"But...... My uncle's bookstore is really amazing, and even this kind of book is available. "I carefully put the book in my bag. At this time, a man with a round-brimmed hat walked past me. He was carrying a shoulder bag and had an indescribable smell on his body. It smelled familiar, but for a moment I couldn't remember that I had smelled it there.

"Is Unondo Bookstore here?" said the man, rubbing the scarf around his neck as he spoke, "I've heard that you can find books that are out of print here." ”

"Ah...... Yes. ”

I instinctively felt a little scared, so I bowed my head and hurried away. I could feel that the man seemed to be watching me all the time, like a psychopathic stalker on TV. Spare me. Why did I meet some weirdos after I transferred to Stomach Head?
