Chapter 32: The Missing Library Clerk
It took a lot of effort for Naoto Hara to finally reach the Rice Flower Library, but he was complained by a few imps that it was too slow.
A few little ghosts had already run up first, and Naoto Hara slowly entered the hall of the library with heavy steps.
Just then, a police car stopped, and a sleek man in a brown round hat walked into the library.
Officer Twilight saw Naoto Hara and hurriedly said hello, "Isn't this Brother Hara?" It's been a long time. I see that your face is not very good, are you sick? ”
Yuan Naoto waved his hand weakly and said, "It's okay, it's just that the amount of exercise is a bit big, and I'm tired." ”
Officer Twilight thought of Naoto Hara's humiliating performance in the Onizakura Building that day, and immediately nodded clearly, and said with a look of agreement: "Indeed, the amount of exercise from Brother Maori's house to here is a bit large, especially for you, Brother Hara. ”
Naoto Hara's face burned, he also thought of Officer Twilight's performance that day, aren't the two of them laughing at fifty steps and laughing at each other, is it funny to mock each other? He's always been an adult, so he doesn't care about Officer Dusk.
He suddenly thought of something again, and hurriedly said, "By the way, Officer Dusk, why hasn't the cost of the last Maple Leaf Gold Coin been paid yet?" Could it be that the Metropolitan Police Department is also in arrears with informants? ”
Officer Mudui wiped his cold sweat and said embarrassedly: "Brother Yuan, don't worry, we also have to go through the procedure for applying for fees, how can it be so fast." ”
Naoto Hara nodded, seemingly agreeing with Officer Twilight's statement.
Just as Officer Twilight breathed a sigh of relief, Naoto Hara asked again, "By the way, Officer Twilight, how did you have time to come to the Rice Flower Library?" ”
Officer Twilight sighed and said, "Actually, there is a male employee named Yutian Kazuo who suddenly disappeared in the Rice Flower Book case, and he can't be found anywhere, and there is no clue in the surveillance video. ”
Library + missing staff,Naoto Hara immediately guessed what the case was.,This is one of the shadows of his childhood.。 The Grim Reaper schoolboy really lives up to his name, and there will be murders wherever he goes.
Thinking that he was originally going to take the elevator upstairs, Naoto Hara couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, and there was a bloody corpse on the top of the elevator, which was terrifying to think about.
Officer Twilight noticed that something was wrong with Naoto Hara, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you, Brother Hara?" ”
Naoto Hara smiled casually and said, "The missing case, have you found it in the library?" ”
"I've looked for it, but I don't have any useful clues." Officer Twilight answered Naoto Hara's question despite having a bit of a headache, "Because Mr. Tamada calls his wife in the library every day before leaving work, but he didn't call the night before, so we guess that he may have disappeared while working overtime the night before, or he was taken away while working overtime, or he was still in the library, and of course it is possible that he has been killed." As the last place where Mr. Tamada was seen, we have searched the library office, warehouse, toilets, and other places, but nothing has been found, so I suspect that Mr. Tamada has been taken out. ”
Naoto Hara made a pause gesture, but Officer Twilight recounted the results of the search as if he hadn't seen it.
Naoto Hara said helplessly: "Officer Twilight, this is the hall of the library, and there are many people, can you say this to me, an outsider?" ”
Officer Twilight said with a look of surprise, "Brother Yuan, why are you an outsider?" I've never treated you as an outsider. ”
Hehe, it's not an outsider, is it still an insider?
Naoto Hara pointed to the man in a dark suit, a thin body, and a little hunched back standing not far away, and asked, "Who is that person?" Why do you look nervous. ”
Officer Twilight glanced at it, Director Tsugawa's face was pale, his forehead was sweating, and he looked really nervous, and he said: "That is the director of the library, Tsukawa Hideji, he and Mr. Tamada worked overtime the night before yesterday, and in terms of suspicion, his suspicion is naturally the greatest, but we have not been able to find any motive and evidence that he killed Mr. Tamada, and there is no evidence that Mr. Tamada has been killed." ”
Naoto Hara glanced at Director Tsugawa, who was looking this way, but the sneaky appearance was very suspicious.
Don't look at this inconspicuous curator, but this inconspicuous curator not only killed the staff member Kazuo Tamada, but also secretly sold drugs, which is a heinous crime.
Naoto Hara retracted his gaze and deliberately laughed: "Tut, I don't even dare to meet you again Officer Twilight, it's a case when I encounter it, it's just a ruin of the mood." ”
Officer Twilight smiled awkwardly, "Who made me a cop?" In fact, today is just a routine, and if I come to ask Director Tsugawa again, I don't know if I can find evidence, there are too many cases in the Metropolitan Police Department, and if I can't find other evidence, Mr. Tamada can only be declared missing. ”
Conan, who had just gone upstairs, found a police car, hurriedly put down the book in his hand, and ran downstairs, Conan ran away, Ayumi naturally ran away, and Mitsuhiko and Motota also followed the knock down.
"Officer Twilight!" Seeing that it was an acquaintance leading the team, whether it was Conan or the other three, a smile appeared on his face.
"It's just a few of you." Officer Twilight greeted them in a friendly manner.
"Is there a case going on here, Officer Twilight? Need me, can we help? Conan pushed his glasses and asked with some excitement.
"Children, you can continue to read, solving the case is an adult's business." Officer Twilight said with a smile.
Ayumi glanced at Conan, Conan nodded helplessly, followed the three of them in a shameful pose, and shouted in unison: "We are the Young Detective Corps!" ”
Naoto Hara smiled and said, "It's really exciting." However, since you can't find a clue, Officer Twilight, you might as well let these kids try. ”
Officer Twilight looked at the children who had already run in to look for and ask everywhere, and said helplessly, "Is there any point in me agreeing or not?" ”
Naoto Hara said meaningfully: "Officer Twilight, don't underestimate this group of children." ”
Officer Twilight shook his head and said, "Well, who knows, maybe their blind cat can hit a dead mouse." Forget it, I'll go to Director Tsugawa first. ”
After walking a few steps, Officer Twilight asked speechlessly, "Eh, Brother Yuan, what are you doing standing behind me?" ”
Naoto Hara blinked innocently and said, "It's nothing, I just feel safer here." ”
