The Great Library of Erien, named after the city of Arian, claims to have the richest collection of books on the continent, and although I don't know if there is any moisture in it, when Watson arrives at the library in a taxi with Viola, he has to admit that this library is magnificent!

As the largest building in the entire Central District, the Irion Library is located in the most famous central square in the Central District, and only this huge five-storey building exists in the vast area, and the outer walls of the Great Library do not use cement and stone stacking, but use large expanses of transparent glass in an ingenious way, which makes Watson standing outside the door of the Great Library look up and see the neatly arranged bookshelves.

Before coming here, Watson and Viola also led Maggie to the place where the victim was found, and unsurprisingly, the place that was supposed to be isolated has been cleared, and no useful clues can be found, not because the inquisition is not well protected, but because the location of the victim is too sensitive.

This is the busiest part of Central, with a huge flow of people passing through it every day, and if there is such an isolated place, it is inevitable that it will be watched, and if there are some people who are full of food and spreading rumors everywhere, it may cause some bad effects.

And the people of the Great Library of Irion will definitely not allow this kind of thing to be exposed, which will inevitably affect the people in their library or those who come to read in the library, and this can also be regarded as one of the faces of the Flanders family.

Just like the royal castles of various countries, if there is any accident in this kind of place, it is definitely a blow to the reputation of the person in power, and even if it does happen, it will be covered up, and all investigations will be carried out in secret, without attracting too many people's attention......

Walking through the door of the library, although there is no fee here, you need a residence voucher as a pass to enter, fortunately Watson and Viola have both brought them, as for Maggie, she already has a new residence voucher in her hand, it seems that she has reissued it after getting off the train.

"Hello, I have some questions for you...... Wait, Maggie, what's the victim's name?"

Watson leaned against the front desk and was about to ask about the victim, but he realized that he didn't seem to know her name until now, so he could only turn his head and ask first.

"Lianna, Liana Brown, we are the investigation department of the Flender government, and we have been ordered to investigate the recent incident, please cooperate with us!"

Telling Watson the victim's name, Maggie pulls out the police officer ID card she has with her and shows it at the front desk of the library.

"I wonder if Lena has been in contact with some strangers lately, or has there been any recent people in the library who come here every day but show no signs of reading and just wandering around?"

Not many people know about Liana Brown's talents, most of them are some library staff and some of her family or friends, etc., and the murderer in the Demon Alliance is likely to be accidentally learned about in other people's small talk, so he naturally needs to confirm what he heard, after all, people with good memories abound, and it is impossible to say that everyone has this talent.

With just a few cheap drinks, he can get close to the person chatting, and then knock on the side to ask where Lena is, that is, the Great Library of Erien, after knowing this location, it will naturally be easy to do, first of all, to find a way to get close to Liana and confirm that she does have talent in this area, and secondly, he needs to observe for several days in a row to find a place or opportunity to do it.

Don't forget the importance of the Arian Great Library in Central, if he exposes it here, even if he succeeds, it is very likely that the next thing to greet this member of the Demon Alliance is the encirclement and suppression of the Flanders government and the Demon Hunting Guild, so he must find a relatively remote place that will not attract much attention even if he makes some noise.

This was the process of Watson's imaginary crime against the members of the Demon Alliance, and the final result confirmed his thoughts, although the location where the body was found was not far from the Great Library of Erien, about ten minutes' walk away, but it was on the path between the green trees on the edge of the square.

As long as the hands and feet are clean in this kind of place, even ordinary people can complete the crime covertly, let alone a professional whose strength is better than that of the victim.

"I'm sorry, but I'm in charge of checking the credentials of all the people at the front desk, and I don't pay attention to their behavior, but Liana works on the third floor of the library, you can ask the other librarians over there, I think they know a lot. ”

There is really nothing to be seen in the residence certificate alone, there is no personal information on it, at most it is a residential address, like Maggie and Leko to Watson's intermediate certificate does not even have these, just a Flemish government stamp and some easy-to-check codes.

In this case, Watson and the others can only go upstairs to ask those who work with Liana, such a large library, the area of each floor is really not small, so basically each floor is equipped with nearly 5 administrator positions, and they are always familiar with each other.

Take the elevator...... Oh, it can't be said to be an elevator, there is not such a high level of technology here, although it looks quite similar, but the configuration in the Erion Library should be said to be a mechanical elevator, although the appearance has been beautified, but when pressing the button on the 3rd floor to start, Watson still heard the sound of the machine turning around, as well as the sound of brushing when the chain rubbed.

Walking out of the elevator door, you can see a large number of bookshelves, from time to time you can see readers shuttling in the middle to pick up books, walk inside, you can also see some sofas specially prepared for readers and free tea, there is a workbench nearby, and the waiter costume behind should be one of the administrators.

"Hey, friend, are you the administrator on the third floor? We're Investigators at the Inquisition, and we want to ask you some simple questions, I wonder if you're available right now?"

stepped forward and knocked on the table, the other party was sorting out the book catalog with his head down, and seemed to be very busy, although Watson still wanted to ask him questions and just some polite words were indispensable, which was also to show his respect for him, and people who knew him would naturally accept it gladly.

Obviously, the person who can become an administrator must have no problem in this regard, and the administrator, who was busy with the movements in his hands without raising his head, immediately put down the things in his hand and stood up after hearing the three words of the inquisition.

I asked the question I asked the front desk again, and it turned out that this person said that the work he did was to organize the catalog, and he didn't pay much attention to the actions of others, so he asked a few people to go to the administrator on the third floor who was responsible for patrolling and guiding the readers in the direction of the book category, saying that they were often on the move and paid more attention to the actions of the readers.

So I had to walk around the bookshelves a little more, and finally found a librarian, who was standing behind the transparent glass on the third floor, watching the passers-by below.

Meow!

The dumpling sitting on his shoulder suddenly lowered his head and approached Watson's ear at this time, and Watson's gaze, who was originally looking around, suddenly froze, but there was no expression on his face, just slowed down his pace, and asked Maggie to step forward and take the initiative to ask the librarian in front of the window.

It's still the same question, and the librarian seems to be very familiar with Lianna's affairs, and when he heard that several people have come to investigate her death, he can be said to know everything, and he said a lot of things, from some strange customers to people who have chatted with Liana, and reported more than a dozen names.

Maggie didn't bother to ask this and that patiently, and also took a notebook to record some points from time to time, and Watson, who was standing behind her, saw that the book had already written down all the names of the people mentioned earlier, and it was estimated that they were going to visit one by one.

Watson didn't say a word the whole time, just looked at the librarian with his eyes, sometimes smiling gently when he made eye contact.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little bored, do you know where the monster books are on the third floor? I'd like to go over and find one, and ...... Can you tell me where the dining hall is in the library? I just asked the front desk on the first floor, and he said it was a few floors above. ”

After about half an hour, Watson suddenly asked from behind.

"Oh, yes, I'm talking a lot, and the books on this seem to be behind the bookshelf behind you, just in the dining room...... It seems to be on the 5th floor, you can go up and have a look, if you are not there, ask the administrator over there, he should know. ”

"Thank you, you guys go on, I'll go over for a while. ”

After saying that, Watson walked to the back bookshelf under the puzzled eyes of Maggie, Lecco and Viola, and after looking up and down, he did find this kind of book, but he didn't continue to read, and looked at the three people who were still listening to the administrator through the gap between the books, and quietly walked to the place where the administrator in the rest area he met before with dumplings......

When Viola saw Watson again, he found him sitting leisurely on the couch flipping through a book that he didn't know where to find it, the title of which seemed to be "The Biography of the Countess White", Maggie sat down opposite Watson, and did not speak but put the notes in her hand on the table in front of the sofa.

"Lord Watson, can you explain why you just left? I don't believe you really came to read these books!"

"Hehe, I just went to someone to verify something, I think I've found some useful clues...... Even if it's not the murderer, it shouldn't be far from the murderer, and now we just need to go outside and wait. I'm sure it won't be long before things will come to an end. ”

Putting down the coffee in his hand, Watson touched his nose with a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth. (To be continued.) )
