41 Encounter in the bookstore

"Let's start with a simple one, centering on the school and the place where you live, and looking for a place near you where you can borrow books. I think the way she borrowed the book would have caught the attention of the clerk. ”

Gao Yuan said analytically, and Miss Jinzi also nodded in agreement.

So the two walked out of the room and returned to the car.

And at the same time, the hidden hall Esuke, who was locked in the car, didn't seem to have tried anything, just waited quietly in the car, looking at the returning Takato and Miss Kyoko with a resentful face-

"Forcibly breaking into someone's home...... That's not right. ”

Slightly helpless, Hidden Pavilion Esuke seemed to have guessed the behavior of the two just now, and was a little depressed, but he still said so.

"However, Mr. Ersuke understands our hard work by speaking so quietly, so thank you very much!"

In this regard, Miss Konko couldn't help but reply.

"But then, there's a place where you need Mr. Hidekan's help."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but say.

"Did you find anything?"

It seems that he is still sulking, and Eisuke Hidekan doesn't seem to be interested in such a conversation.

"Nope."

Miss Today's child looked at the hidden hall Ersuke seriously, and suddenly said out loud, but this couldn't help but startle the hidden hall Ersuke-

"Huh?"

Completely puzzled, Hidekan Esuke let out a confused voice.

"But because I didn't, I need your help for the next things."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but say:

"Based on Mr. Hidden Pavilion's experience, what do you know about the shops and libraries around this neighborhood where you can borrow books?"

"What do you mean?"

Hidden Pavilion Esuke still asked puzzled:

"What are you looking for?"

"No, Mr. Ersuke!"

Miss Today's Child couldn't help but say:

"We just thought that the 'Last Word Girl' must have other borrowing channels besides the school library, so we wanted to see if we could find that place in the surrounding area."

"Huh? If you find it, you can know why she committed suicide? ”

Hidekan Esuke couldn't help but be slightly surprised and surprised.

"Not sure."

"Not sure."

Gao Yuan and Miss Kyoko faced this problem, although they said different things, but they expressed the same meaning.

"Hey......"

Hearing this, Hidden Pavilion Esuke couldn't help but sigh in frustration-

"But at least one direction."

Miss Today says:

"Also, I wanted to look at that comic book to see if I could figure out why 'Last Word Girl' chose to use the lines from that comic book as a disguise for Last Words."

"That's true...... After all, it was a comic that was popular more than ten years ago, but it seems that because the style is too depressing, it has not been reprinted in the future. Nowadays, it is difficult to find this comic book in its entirety from more than ten years ago. Most of them are broken and lonely. ”

Gao Yuan couldn't help but say:

"Now I can't find all the comic content on the Internet, but the source of the words quoted by the girl can still be seen."

"But it's always a mystery what kind of story the whole comic tells and why the girl wants to use the lines of this comic as her last words."

Miss Kyoko said.

"That comic...... It's called "The Girl Who Only Belongs to Me", right? ”

After listening to the conversation between the two, and the seemingly helpless way out, Hidekan Esuke couldn't help but ask tentatively.

"yes."

Gao Yuan nodded.

"If that's the case, I know there's this manga there!"

Hidden Pavilion Esuke said very seriously......

……

"Infinite Ancient Book Hall", this is a second-hand bookstore located not too far from Sakura Hakura Women's Academy and Hazuki Yasong's house, and it is also the place where Esuke Ekun used to work in the Hidden Building.

It was because of his resignation from this used bookstore that Hidekan Esuke entered Sakura Hakura Women's Academy and got a formal job.

It's just that Hidden Pavilion Ersuke never thought that he would return here again in such a way.

Takato drove the car outside the store, but this time Hidekan Ersuke offered not to get out of the car and go in to check, it seems that the thought of resigning from this store, Hidekan Ersuke is not too embarrassed to walk into this store again.

So, Gao Yuan and Miss Jinzi got out of the car and walked into the store together-

"Excuse me, has this girl ever been here?"

Walking into the bookstore, Miss Today looked at the room full of books, as well as all kinds of rare old reasoning, and suddenly seemed to have entered a paradise, and went straight into the stacks of books, and began to wander in front of various bookshelves to look for them.

In contrast, Takato first came to the counter of this store and saw that there was only one staff member in it - according to Eisuke Hidedate, this was the manager of this store, a man in his thirties.

In this regard, Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone, flipped out the photo of Ye Yue Yage, and asked the store manager for verification.

The manager is a gentle, bookish man, who seems to match the temperament of this antique bookstore very well-

I saw that after hearing Gao Yuan's inquiry, the store manager pushed the glasses on his face, and brought his eyes closer to the mobile phone screen that Gao Yuan had shown, and then looked at Gao Yuan with a puzzled expression, as if he was asking who he was-

"I'm her brother, she's running away from home, and I, and her sister, are looking for her now."

Gao Yuan made up a random reason and replied.

"Are you missing?"

Slightly surprised, the store manager said with a surprised expression on his face, as if he was very surprised.

"Yes, we're worried about her."

Gao Yuanjian saw the store manager's reaction like this, and couldn't help but continue.

"That's why I haven't been here lately......

The store manager couldn't help but sigh.

In this regard, Gao Yuan immediately came to his senses, showed a very shocked expression, eagerly approached the store manager, and asked anxiously.

At the same time, Miss Kwako reluctantly took her eyes off the bookshelf where the reasoning was placed, and instead began to look for the target on the bookshelf with comic books-

"The Girl Who Only Belongs to Me" ......"

With the name of the comic in her mouth, Miss Today bent over, pointed to the books neatly placed on the shelves, and moved them in rowsβ€”

"Ahh Got it! ”

Soon, Miss Kyoko found the target she was looking for on the bookshelf, and then showed a surprised expression, and reached out to take out this comic-

However, at this moment, a hand preempted Miss Kyoko and took the manga first.

Because Miss Kyoko is bent over, she can't help but feel a little disgusted with the other party who is standing behind her and reaching out to snatch the target she has already favored.

Then he couldn't help but turn his head to look at what kind of person this rude man was.

And what caught his eye was a handsome and beautiful young man in a beige suit and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses-

"I'm sorry, but can you show me first, miss."

With an elegant smile, seeing Miss Kyoko's slightly depressed pouting expression, the young man responded politely.
