Chapter 427 The Big Adventure in the Library ()
To Conan and Haihara Ai's surprise, Martin did not appear in front of them even after a long time after the three little ones were taken away.

Huihara Ai guessed: "Are you going to send them home? Do you mean to let us go back by ourselves?"

Conan also guessed: "Or just hide behind the corner and wait for us to walk by, then jump out and yell?"

Martin's behavior is really unpredictable. He may occasionally act like a person and be responsible to ensure that the children are sent home safely, or he may always be a non-person and just have fun.

By the way, before leaving, the guy said he wanted to collect some props for the night. Does this mean he was holding back the 'whole big job'?

At this time, the sound of the elevator running sounded, and the two turned their heads to look. Judging from the indicator lights, the elevator was running upwards.

Martin is here?

Hearing the bell of the elevator arriving at this floor, Conan suddenly felt something was wrong and pulled Haihara Ai, and the two of them retreated back to the bathroom.

His head was sneakily peeked out from the bathroom door, and the person walking out of the elevator turned out to be the library director Tsugawa Hideharu.

Why did he come back after closing?

With doubts, the two watched Tsugawa Hideharu walk into the children's book area with his suitcase, and then quietly approached. Through the glass of the outer wall of the children's book area, they saw Tsugawa Hideharu bending down and taking out a large box from under the cabinet.

Conan had seen the contents in the box. They were all plastic-sealed imported books with simple covers. In addition, the contents were in foreign languages. They were of a type that children would definitely not be interested in. At that time, Conan was still wondering why those books were Throw it in the children's book section.

I saw Tsugawa Hideharu picking up these unsold products, removing the plastic packaging one by one, taking them out of the book covers and putting them into his suitcase.

While tearing it apart, he kept mumbling: "That idiot Tamada Kazuo (the name of the missing library employee), if he hadn't seen what's inside, there would be no need for me to kill him... The police are also idiots, there is no such thing. Find it—the guy who sleeps in this building forever."

The two people who were hiding outside the glass and peeking could hear clearly, and immediately understood that the missing employee had been killed by the curator.

Conan and Haihara Ai looked at each other and immediately backed away and hid in the bathroom.

"Call the police?" Haiyuan Ai made the most normal suggestion.

"Just what the two of us heard from the library director is not enough evidence. The police have already searched the library once during the day. I'm afraid they won't find anything new if they search again." Conan shook his head and whispered: "Those imported books The contents may be a clue, but it’s better to confirm with your own eyes before calling the police. His suitcase is not big enough to take away all the books.”

Conan took out his phone and muted it. With yesterday's lesson learned, he sent an email to Xiaolan explaining the situation before muting this time. If he didn't go back or contact him again after two or three hours, Xiaolan would probably come over and there was nothing he could do. . Haihara Ai also communicated with her sister in this way.

But that guy Martin didn't carry any belongings with him today, so there was no way to ask him where he had gone.

If Martin sent the three children home and went directly back to the doctor's house, he might be able to find out what happened here through Miyano Akemi and help. But this guy seemed to have already booked an activity for the evening, but I didn't know exactly what he wanted to do.

……

Another hour later, when night fell and darkness fell, Conan and Haibara Ai poked their heads out after hearing the sound of the curator leaving.

However, after walking out of the bathroom, Conan suddenly felt a huge sense of disobedience and didn't know where to go next.

"Where...is this?" Haiyuan Ai felt the same way. After walking out of the bathroom, there was an elevator six or seven steps down the corridor, and diagonally opposite was the glass wall of the children's book area, but the scene before her eyes was... Completely different from what you see during the day. Although part of the reason was the dim light after dark, the surrounding walls and tiles on the floor did change into a completely different look, like another place.

Conan looked up at the children's book area diagonally opposite, and what he saw was not the room where he had stayed all day. Instead, he saw another door in a different __cpLocation, with the door number reading 'Books on Religion and Philosophy'.

"I remember this section is on the fourth floor, right?" Conan asked.

During the day, Hui Yuan Ai also picked up a book by Aristotle here.

Hui Yuan Ai nodded: "This seems to be indeed the fourth floor."

The children's book area is on the third floor.

Conan felt a sincere sense of absurdity. Could it be that there was some secret passage in the bathroom that allowed them to go from the third floor to the fourth floor while they were hiding in the bathroom?
While thinking about it, Conan looked in the direction of the elevator, because there was a floor sign hanging next to the elevator, so he could double-check the floor he was on.

"Wait... where's the elevator?"

Where the elevator should have been, there were only empty white walls, and where the floor sign should be, there was only a square on the wall that was much neater than the other walls. It was obvious that the floor sign had been removed.

Conan's pupils shook violently. What secrets are hidden in this library?
Squeak—while Conan was confused, Haihara Ai pushed open the thick wooden door of the 'Religious and Philosophical Books' section.

"Let's first see if this is the daytime room." Haihara Ai said calmly: "Maybe the library is just preparing to adjust its location and replace the children's book area with the philosophy area. The floor signs have also been removed and replaced with new ones tomorrow. ”

Hey, hey... Conan looked at Haihara Ai with confused eyes: Is this guy trying to avoid the truth and deceive himself? The glass wall that allows you to see the children inside from the corridor is unique to the children's book area, while other rooms have ordinary white walls for readers' privacy, and there is no explanation why the elevator is missing.

Hui Yuan Ai opened the door and walked in. The sudden light suddenly dazzled their eyes.

Conan reflexively pulled Haihara Ai's clothes and retreated to the corridor with her.

Weirdly, as Haihara Ai exited the room, the lights in the room that had just been bright and dazzling suddenly turned off, returning to an unaccustomed darkness.

"It's bad... I wonder if the director has gone far away." Conan had a bad premonition in his heart. If the director or others saw the lights on in the library, they would immediately know that there was someone inside. ……

There is a law in this world called Murphy's Law.

At this time, Tsugawa Hideharu, who was standing outside the library with a suitcase in his hand, turned back and looked at the window on the third floor of the library behind him with terrifying eyes.

There was no mistaking it, the window there did light up for a moment and then went out.

It happened to be there, it happened to be the place where his biggest secret was hidden.

Tsukawa Hideji's eyes flashed with horror.
