Chapter 68: The Devil! Library Killings! (below)
"Drugs!"
Looking at the packet of white powder in his hand, Conan sniffed slightly, and his brows condensed.
"It's really ......" Yuan Tai and the others immediately opened the "books" in their hands, and sure enough, they were all wrapped in packets of white powder.
I see, it seems that Mr. Tamada should have discovered Director Tsugawa's behavior and was killed by him. Conan held his chin and looked at the thing in his hand intently.
"Hey, Conan!" Mitsuhiko's voice interrupted Conan's train of thought, "Look at the bookshelf over there!" ”
"Huh?" As soon as Conan looked up, he saw the three rows of strange bookshelves.
The three rows of bookshelves are pressed against the wall, each with a rotating handle attached to the bearings.
"Do you mean?!" Conan was startled, leaped to the top of the bookshelf, and pulled its handle hard.
With a clattering sound, dust fluttered down, and the two bookshelves parted violently.
"Eh......" Conan looked at the empty bookshelf in amazement, "Empty? ”
Ayumi and Mitsuhiko also worked together to open a bookshelf, but still found nothing.
"Conan!" Suddenly, Motota's voice came, and it sounded like it was very laborious, and Conan hurriedly raised his head.
I saw that Yuan Tai's whole person was hanging on the bookshelf, and he was trying his best to pull the handle in his hand, but the bookshelf seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he didn't move at all.
"This bookshelf ...... Can't open! Yuan Tai gritted his teeth and pulled the bookshelf in his hand hard.
If the curator had hidden the body in that shelf, it was possible. Conan pondered, but it was unlikely that he would be able to escape Officer Twilight's search, right? In this case, there is only one possibility......
"Yuantai," Conan looked at Yuantai solemnly, and his sharp gaze made the three of them suddenly nervous again.
“…… It's time for you to lose weight. The next sentence made the three of them suddenly feel the urge to hit someone, and Ayumi and Mitsuhiko looked at Conan at the same time.
"......" Conan's cheek has been as thick as a mountain for so many years, and he doesn't care, "Yuantai, how much do you weigh now?" ”
"Four...... Forty kilograms! Yuan Tai yelled in annoyance.
"Hey, you're so heavy! It's half as good as me! "By Mitsuhiko
"They only have fifteen kilograms now!" By Ayumi of the mending knife
"Speaking of weight...... Looks like the last time I measured my weight, it should have been eighteen kilograms......" Conan said to himself, and suddenly a spirit, "No!! ”
We're just kids! Cold sweat dripped down Conan's forehead. This morning...... He thought of the last silent look in the eyes of Asa Yu looking at the elevator.
"It seems, it's full."
"That's right," Conan muttered to himself, "it's full! ”
Why are elevators overweight?
Why does Charlotte pay attention to elevators?
Why can't I find a body anywhere?
Because, this elevator ......
From the very beginning,
There's one person in there!!
Conan's hands began to tremble in his sleeves, and he couldn't imagine what a crazy act it was! This curator ......
It's the devil!
"Ke...... Conan ......" Ayumi pulled the corner of Conan's clothes in fear, "We...... What to do? ”
"......" Conan calmed down, after all, after experiencing strong winds and waves, this little thing will not intimidate him, "I'll go to the mechanical room first!" With that, he turned and ran to the top floor.
"Conan!" Before Ayumi and the others could stop it, they saw Conan disappear into the darkness. For a moment, a sense of fear arose in my heart.
In the darkness, a pair of blood-colored eyes were staring at the three of them.
……
Dr. Asasa House.
"How's it going, doctor?" Asaba asked the doctor who was at the workbench, "Are the results of the analysis out?" ”
"Well, it's done." The doctor turned around, holding a test tube of white liquid in his hand, "It is indeed extremely pure, and ordinary smugglers cannot get such a high-purity thing." It seems ......"
"That idiot is in danger." Asa Yu said coldly.
He turned around, lifted his coat and walked towards the door, "With so many goods stored in the library, it must not be possible for the director to do it alone, and there must be a huge organization running behind him." Perhaps," Asamurai Feather turned around, her amber pupils streaking across the golden rays, "it's those guys who sell alcohol!" ”
"Then you ......," the doctor looked at Asa Yu with a little concern. Your hands ......"
"It's okay." Asa Yu didn't look back, "Doctor, you should rest early, I'll go and bring those guys back." Don't steal cake! With that, he pushed the door open and walked out.
"Charlotte......" Dr. "Shalo" looked worriedly at the place where Asa Feather had disappeared.
……
Library.
"Conan!" Ayumi finally couldn't stand the pain in the dark and finally shouted.
"What's it called, don't make me feel like I'm dead."
A voice came from the stairs, Ayumi and the others raised their heads, and a pair of red and white sneakers appeared in everyone's eyes.
"I just went to the mechanical room once and turned the elevator to manual." Conan's figure slowly emerged in the darkness, and a moonlight shone on Conan's handsome cheeks, making him look particularly mysterious.
"Conan!" Ayumi secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and laughed happily.
"Next, it's the crux of the case." Conan said lightly and walked to the elevator.
Conan stopped, and with both hands, he pulled the elevator door open, revealing the black hole of the elevator, and Conan pressed the elevator up button.
"Do you know why?" Conan looked back, "Why is the elevator overloaded during the day?" ”
"Isn't it because there are too many people?" Yuan Tai said suspiciously, "Asa Yu is already the eighth person!" ”
"Idiot!" Conan glared back at him, "We're all kids!" The weight of a few of us adds up to the weight of an adult! There's still one person missing! ”
"You...... You mean! Mitsuhiko, who reacted quickly, suddenly covered his mouth, his eyes frightened.
"yes, that's it." Conan turned around and looked at the slowly rising elevator, "Corpse ......"
"It's on the roof of the elevator!"
With Conan's words, under the horrified gaze of the three people, a hand slowly appeared, and Ayumi covered her mouth, tears of fear flashed in her eyes. As the elevator rose, Yutian's pale face appeared in everyone's eyes.
"It seems that Mr. Tamada should have been strangled to death by Director Tsugawa and thrown here." Conan glanced at the corpse and turned to look at the three of them, "This is the elevator, usually no one pays attention at all, plus...... Well? What are your expressions? Conan suddenly noticed that the three people in front of him were looking behind him in horror.
"Tsu ......"
"Sichuan ......"
"Pavilion ......"
"Long ......"
"Huh? Director Tsukawa? Conan looked back in confusion, and suddenly his heart seemed to skip a beat.
I saw that in the slowly rising elevator, Tsugawa's face was expressionless, and his pale eyes flashed with gloomy light.
