"How? Knowing that you can change back to your original self, are you ready to move? ”

Conan squinted and said with a smile, waiting for Xiao Ai's response.

In this regard, Xiao Ai's expression was slightly indifferent and did not respond.

Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but straighten his face, and said depressedly:

"What, it's boring."

As he spoke, Conan continued to look casually on the bookshelf, and then suddenly saw a pile of books in the open cabinet leaning against the window, so he walked over curiously, squatted down, took out the books in the cabinet and looked at them—

"Original books imported from abroad?"

Looking at the cover of the book that Conan was holding in his hand, Xiao Ai couldn't help but say.

"It's strange, why are these imported books all facing inward, and they are being reversed? But it's still wrapped in a plastic sleeve? ”

Slightly puzzled, Conan couldn't help but say.

"Kid, this isn't the book you should read!"

As he was thinking, suddenly a figure came up behind Conan and said to Conan.

Turning around, there was an old man in a suit who looked to be in his fifties, he was the director of the Rice Flower Library, and his name was Hideji Tsugawa.

"Ahh I'm sorry. ”

Politely replied, Conan handed back the books he was holding to Hideji Tsugawa, and then saw him take out the box containing these imported books from the cabinet, and put the books that Conan had given him into the box, and then closed the door of the cabinet, and carried the box to leave.

At this time, Xiao Ai looked indifferent, and walked towards the toilet on the side, seeing this, Ayumi, who was still reading a book, couldn't help but put down the book and followed Xiao Ai to the toilet, leaving Mitsuhiko and Yuan Tai to stay in the position and wait for Ayumi to come back.

"Gray Yuan-san, wait for me!"

followed Xiao Ai to the women's toilet, and Ayumi stopped Xiao Ai.

"Yoshida-san, what's the matter?"

Somewhat surprised, Xiao Ai asked.

"The ......"

A little hesitant, Ayumi's words in her heart, a little unspeakable for a while, but after thinking about it, she was still a little embarrassed, and plucked up the courage to ask:

"Why do you know Conan so well?"

"What?"

Puzzled, Xiao Wai said unexpectedly.

"Because, when you are alone with Conan, you can talk to Conan very speculatively every time......"

Bowing her head slightly, Ayumi dodged Xiao Ai's gaze.

"Do you like Conan?"

Mustering up enough courage, Ayumi raised her head, looked at Xiao Ai, and asked the question seriously.

Hearing this, Xiao Wai couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then showed a mysterious smile:

"What if so?"

It's like asking rhetorically.

"Huh?"

Ayumi's tone couldn't help but weaken, and then said intermittently:

"No...... You can't ......."

"Don't worry, I can't look at that guy yet."

Seeing the little girl in front of her say so twisted, Xiao Wai didn't do much teasing, and said this sentence in a flat tone.

In this regard, Ayumi, who was still in a low mood, immediately smiled-

"Really? That's great! ”

As he spoke, he ran out of the women's toilet with joy-

"Really!"

Walking out of the door of the women's toilet, Ayumi didn't forget to turn around and say a word.

Seeing this, the corners of Xiao Ai's mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile - Edogawa, what are you going to do?

However, at this moment, outside the library, there was a sudden rush of sirens.

Hearing this sound, Motota and Mitsuhiko, who were still waiting for Ayumi to come back to read the book, couldn't help but run to the window curiously, and stood on tiptoe to look downstairs-

"Ahh Conan, come and see! ”

After Yuan Tai saw the scene downstairs, he couldn't help but say to Conan, who was also in front of the window:

"There's a police car! Something seems to have happened! ”

As he was talking, suddenly a female staff member ran over in a panic, came to this reading room and found Hideji Tsugawa, and said:

"Curator! The police are downstairs ......"

"The police are in!"

Seeing the policeman who came out of the police car downstairs and walked into the library, Mitsuhiko couldn't help but say.

"Could it be that something happened!"

Ayumi was in a good mood, but after hearing that a police officer was coming, she immediately came over and said with some excitement.

"I'll take a look!"

Seeing this, Conan, who knew that there must be an incident, couldn't help but run towards the elevator on the side, and at this time, Tsugawa Hideji also happened to carry the box into the elevator-

"Wait a minute, Conan!"

In this regard, Motota, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi couldn't help but run up, and when they came out of the toilet and watched them all running towards the elevator, they sighed a little and followed.

However, as soon as he took a few steps, Xiao Ai's mobile phone rang, and when he took it out to take a look, he found that it was Gao Yuan calling-

"Hello? What's up? ”

Answering the phone, Xiao Ai asked with a cold expression.

"Gray Plains, I'm sorry, I may have to be in the hospital for an infusion until the evening...... Ahem...... Don't wait for me for dinner...... Ahem......"

On the phone, Gao Yuan's non-stop coughing voice came from a somewhat hoarse voice.

Hearing this, Xiao Ai couldn't help but glance helplessly:

"Ah, why is your condition getting worse......"

While talking, Xiao Ai also followed a few people from the detective group to the elevator entrance, only to see that as soon as they ran into the elevator, the elevator made a "dingding" sound, showing overload-

"Overloaded!"

Mitsuhiko couldn't help shouting, "There are only seven passengers!" ”

Looking at the text sign in the elevator, Mitsuhiko said.

“1、2、3……”

In this regard, Yuan Tai began to count the number of people in the elevator -

"Strange, isn't there exactly seven people!"

Yuan Tai was a little flustered, folding her fingers, afraid that she had miscalculated.

"Stupid! You forgot to count it yourself! ”

Conan couldn't help but complain.

So, looking at the situation that the elevator was overloaded, Xiao Ai stood outside the elevator and didn't go in, but looking at the staffing in the elevator at this time, four adults and four children, Xiao Ai couldn't help blinking, feeling that something was wrong-

"Ashbara, where are you now?"

Suddenly, on the other end of the phone, Gao Yuan's still flat tone became a little serious and asked.

"Rice Flower Library, what's wrong?"

Sensing the change in Gao Yuan's tone, Xiao Ai asked suspiciously.

"Don't hang up yet!"

Gao Yuan suddenly said solemnly.

At this time, because the elevator was overloaded, several members of the detective group had to get out of the elevator and run downstairs from the stairs on the side, while Xiao Ai continued to answer the phone and followed Conan and them.

At this point, the sound of the elevator overload stopped, and the elevator door was closed smoothly -

"I listened to you, I didn't get into the elevator, what's wrong?"

Coming to the stairwell, Xiao Ai continued to ask puzzled.

"Ahem...... When overloaded, how many adults and how many children are in the elevator? ”

On the day of the call, Gao Yuan asked.

"Four adults, and Conan and the four of them......"

Saying that, Xiao Ai finally realized that there was something wrong just now:

"Hey! Lofty! What's going on! You didn't let me into the elevator, did you notice something! ”

"Let's not talk about that, I hear the sirens in the background, is there a police officer here? Don't hang up the phone, go and hear what the police are doing here. ”

Takato instructed.

So, Xiao Ai nodded, did not hang up the call, and followed Conan down the stairs to the first floor of the library.

At this time, Officer Twilight, who led the team, was already here, and began to ask some questions to the library director Hideharu Tsukawa, who had just come downstairs......
