Chapter 57: Crisis
For Ayumi, a library at night can be scarier than a haunted house in an amusement park. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the quiet building, only the faint moonlight shines on some casual corners, or the oil paintings on the walls, or the hideous corner of a certain bookshelf, which occasionally appears very abruptly in the line of sight, and then startles the little girl.
Ayumi has always felt that she is a bold girl now, because of the appearance of Conan, she has experienced many things that adults have never encountered.
She remembers being "kidnapped" once, spending an afternoon in the trunk of the car and the "head", when she was almost frightened and fainted; There was also an expedition to the "Haunted House", but he accidentally discovered a murder that had been in the dust for many years, and he was almost not killed by the old grandmother with a knife;
Of course, she will not forget the first day she met Conan, the young detective team met the Italian bandits, although it was their "battle for fame", but also experienced the process of almost nine deaths.
It was also from that time that she had a faint affection for Conan, which was very simple, not a love mixed with many complicated factors in adulthood, but the adoration of a little girl for another boy.
But Conan is too stupid, at least Ayumi thinks so, this boy who seems to have a high IQ doesn't understand the girl's mind at all, and when he encounters danger, he will only leave her and Motota and others aside, and he will face all kinds of gangsters alone. This made Ayumi gradually feel as if she was just a classmate to him.
But now...
Ayumi sneaked a glance at Mori Hitomi, who was engrossed in searching every nook and cranny as if he didn't have time to take care of himself like Conan.
It's just that the boy's hand is always holding her, and the faint warmth in the palm of her hand makes her uneasy heart gradually calm down.
"Really... That's it... She's a good girl..."
Ayumi's face was flushed, and her mood was also happy, she glanced at the hands held tightly by the two from time to time, such a quiet but heartwarming feeling, until ten years later, she could not forget.
……
"It's weird... The library is so big, where is Mr. Tamada? ”
Hitomi Mori didn't pay attention to Ayumi's little thoughts, and Judy was like a little girl in his heart, let alone Ayumi who was only seven years old. What he is more distressed about now is that the missing Mr. Yutian seems to have really evaporated from the world, and there is not even a trace.
And he said that Mr. Tamada was missing, but in his heart he had already judged that this man was dead.
It's all because of Tsugawa Hideto's eyes.
The curator's eyes were so calm, an employee was missing, and he was missing in the library, and no one would have been so calm. Hitomi Mori even sensed a faint murderous aura in Tsugawa Hideto's eyes, the kind of determination to kill anyone at all costs just to protect his own secrets.
He even suspected that if any abnormalities were found in the office during the day, several of their children, including Mrs. Tamada, might be killed on the spot by Tsukawa Ge!
While he was thinking to himself, Ayumi gently tugged him beside him: "Hitomi-chan... We seem to have searched for this floor, now take the elevator upstairs? Conan: They're upstairs too. ”
"There are still some places that haven't been found..."Hitomi Maori just wanted to say that there were still places that had not been searched, but she saw Ayumi's weak eyes trembling slightly in the dark, so she had to nod and say, "Okay, let's go find Conan and meet them..."
The two returned to the elevator, Ayumi couldn't wait to press the button, and then the elevator door opened a little bit and got in, and then embarrassedly said to Maori Hitomi: "Little Hitomi, you won't laugh at me, right... I'm really scared..."
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I'm scared too~"
Hitomi Mori smiled and shook his head, and walked into the elevator in the blinding white light, only to stop abruptly as soon as he took a step, his face full of incredulity.
"Hitomi-chan, what's wrong?" Ayumi saw Hitomi Mori standing there motionless, and asked with some curiosity.
Maori Hitomi frowned and was silent, but there were turbulent waves in his heart.
During the day, he was wondering, even if Yuan Tai was heavy, it was impossible for him to reach the adults, and it was more than enough for their five children and three adults to take this elevator, but when the staff came up, they were prompted by the elevator to be overweight. At that time, Mao Li Hitomi thought that the elevator was too old, but now that I think about it, I am very scary.
"Could it be... Mr. Tamada is right above us..."
Maori Hitomi looked up, as if through the thick ceiling, she could also feel the thick stench of the dead corpse, as well as the dead eyes!
At this moment, he felt the elevator smack, and it was obvious that he had reached the upper floor. He didn't wait for the slow elevator door to open, and rushed out of the elevator with Ayumi in tow, wanting to urgently verify his guess.
"Be careful!"
The strong light in the elevator illuminated the surroundings, and Hitomi Maori only felt that an object suddenly hit him in the darkness out of the corner of his eye, and with that prompt, he had already reacted in his heart.
But he couldn't hide.
There is Ayumi standing next to her, even if she avoids it in a hurry, this little girl will definitely not have time to hide!
He made a quick choice in his heart, turned around and hugged Ayumi at the moment when someone came to make a move, and then buried her hard in his arms.
"Poof!"
The sound of a heavy object hitting his back sounded in the darkness, and Hitomi Maori only felt that the world was spinning at this moment, and in intense pain, he and Ayumi fell to the ground with the blow.
"Tut-tut, I know how to save beauty at such a young age..."
The man's gloomy laughter came in his ears, and Hitomi Maori dragged Ayumi up in pain, just about to use the dim light to think about the corner, but he felt a bright light suddenly shine on his face, stabbing him so much that he could barely open his eyes.
The lights on this floor have all been turned on!
He knew that he had lost his biggest advantage, so he could only subconsciously block in front of Ayumi, blocking the light with his hands, and then gradually see his surroundings clearly.
It was Conan who gave the prompt, who was sitting on the ground with a dead face, his hands and feet tied with ropes, and Mitsuhiko and Motota also fell beside him, looking stupid. Fortunately, except for a few bruises on their faces, several people didn't seem to have suffered any more damage, but they looked a little miserable.
It was Tsugawa Hidetomo who attacked Hitomi Mori, who was carrying a wooden stick and looked at him playfully with a hideous smile.
"Huh? Uncle Curator, why are you here? ”
Hitomi Maori looked at Tsugawa Hidechi with an innocent face, but her right hand was behind her back, and she kept making gestures to urge Ayumi to run quickly.
Tsukawa Hidetomo put the wooden stick on his hand and patted it gently, and asked curiously, "This is my library, but why are you here?" ”
"Because we're lost... Uncle, can you take us home? Maori narrowed her eyes, and she was secretly anxious in her heart: This stupid girl, why don't you run away!
He didn't know that Ayumi behind him was looking at him in a daze, and his eyes were confused.
Hitomi Mori had just received a gunshot wound a few days ago, and although it was only a pain in the flesh, it would take at least a little more than a month for it to heal completely. At noon, he had pulled the wound in order to save that football, but because he deliberately avoided the key position, it was not a big problem. And the heavy blow of Tsugawa Hidetomo just now completely hit the wound site, and at this time, blood slowly seeped out of his clothes, and it was extremely dazzling in the bright light.
"Hitomi-chan... You... You're hurt..."Tears flowed unconsciously, and Ayumi muttered softly.
It's just that the voice is so small that no one can hear it.
