The Journey of the Light-type Superpower

Chapter 75: Science Library Incident 2

"Inspector Megure, what happened?" Conan suddenly ran over and asked, followed closely by Yanyan and his other friends.

Inspector Megure glanced at Conan and said to Director Jinchuan: "It's like this, Mr. Tamada has been missing since the night before yesterday. We heard that he and you were working the night shift in the library the night before yesterday, right?"

Director Jinchuan: "Eh? Wha, what!"

He replied carefully, "Yes... But I went home earlier than Mr. Yutian that day, so I don't know what happened after that."

Matsuda narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. The man in front of him seemed to be like most people who would be afraid of getting into trouble when questioned by the police when encountering such a thing.

Do you really not know?

He walked over and patted Yanyan on the head, said hello to Zhaolan, and then Matsuda took his men to do the search.

Zhao Lan, on her part, was preparing to go upstairs to take a look at the books she wanted to buy.

Yanyan looked at her with shining eyes: "Mom, are you here to buy me a book today?"

"Yes~, but why are you guys here?"

Mitsuhiko: "We have to write a book report, so we come here to find a book to read."

"Then you guys play here, I'll go upstairs to buy some books first." She glanced at the elevator and saw that it was still upstairs, so she simply took the stairs.

"I'll go too. I'll go upstairs to pick out some books and come down to see you later." Yanyan said to her friends and quickly caught up with her mother.

Conan looked at the police officers who were investigating the library warehouse and asked, "Officer Megure, why are they investigating the library warehouse? Mr. Tamada might have been attacked on his way home, right?"

Director Tsukawa looked at Inspector Megure, and his expression seemed to convey the same idea.

Inspector Megure explained: "Mr. Tamada is a very serious person. He usually calls home from here to tell his wife before going home, but he didn't do that the night before last."

"In other words, he was most likely taken out of here by someone while he was working overtime. Or he is still in the library, but was killed by someone." Thinking of the stench that Matsuda and the others mentioned, Mr. Tamada must be in this library.

Officer Megure shouted to the police officers who were searching inside: "Look carefully, don't miss any place!"

Curator Jinchuan, who was standing by, looked at the police officers searching everywhere, with a hint of pride on his face: Go ahead and look for him. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to guess where he is now...

Matsuda and his men searched around but found nothing. He was a little unwilling to give up, because he knew it was in there, so why couldn't he find it?

Conan: "Do you want to go upstairs and take a look?" He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what it was.

After hearing this, Officer Megure nodded to Matsuda and said, "Matsuda, take someone upstairs to check."

A group of people walked over and pressed the elevator button. When the elevator came down, Matsuda's expression changed slightly and he looked at the top of the elevator.

At this time, Guang Yan said: "I was thinking at that time that this library really needs to be cleaned up. It has a bad smell."

Conan on the side suddenly realized: "That's right, that's it."

Matsuda and Conan said at the same time: "It's the elevator." After saying that, they looked at each other.

Conan: ...Oh no, I got too carried away.

Inspector Megure: "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

Matsuda said nothing and looked away naturally.

Conan wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's like this, Officer Megure, when we were riding the elevator before..."

Not long ago, several of them were riding in an elevator and were reminded that they were overweight. They were obviously children, and their combined weight was only about one and a half adults, so they shouldn't be overweight, but the elevator still reminded them that they were overweight.

"This means there was another person in the elevator at the time."

The police officer nearby heard it and rushed forward to check.

On the other side, Zhao Lan was looking for the Sherlock Holmes collection, and Yanyan was also choosing the books he wanted to buy in the children's area.

He accidentally got a book without a cover. Curious, he opened it and found a white package inside. He didn't know what it was.

"Mom, look at this."

Zhao Lan thought he saw something, so she glanced at it casually and opened her eyes wide in surprise. She walked over, picked it up, looked at it, took out her phone and called Matsuda.

Soon Matsuda and his men came up and checked the bookshelves one by one. Zhao Lan didn't know when the situation would be fixed, so she hurried over and asked the administrator to check out the books she wanted to buy first.

The kids from the Junior Detective Team who came up later were chattering with Yanyan about their discoveries. They also found Mr. Yutian's body on the elevator downstairs.

After paying the bill, Zhao Lan went outside to wait for them.

After waiting for a while, I saw Inspector Megure and his men escorting Director Tsukawa out, and other police officers were holding a pile of cardboard boxes in their hands.

It turned out that Director Jinchuan used these original books to transport drugs, but was discovered by Mr. Tamada, who killed people to silence them.

I looked at the time. The sun was already setting. It would be time for dinner soon. The kids were out, and Yanyan ran over: "Mom, can Conan and the others come with us?"

"Of course, but if you don't go home for dinner, you must call and tell your family."

Zhao Lan took the group to the Polo Cafe for a simple meal, and then sent them home.

After returning home and training for a while in the evening, Matsuda came back.

Hagiwara brought out the dinner left for him from the kitchen and inadvertently mentioned that Matsuda had been in the Investigation Division for a long time. "They said he was seconded, is he still coming back?"

Matsuda just thought of this and the corners of his mouth twitched. Is it really possible for him to return to the explosive ordnance disposal team?

……

Because of the theater, Zhao Lan came back a little late after finishing her work. She didn't drive when she came out, and walked slowly on the way home. Suddenly, a familiar car slowly drove past her and stopped steadily in front of her.

She looked up and glanced at the license plate number. She remembered that the man's car looked like this before at the theater entrance. Sure enough, when she passed by, the driver's window of the car was lowered: "Get in."

In the middle of the night, a man in black clothes and a black hat was looking at her from the car window. Zhao Lan looked around and didn't see the man's followers. After a little hesitation, she didn't say anything polite to him and got into the car directly.

The car started slowly, and the person next to me threw the cigarette butt out of the window: "Where are you going?"

"Just drop me off at the Rice Flower Station. I'm going to buy some things nearby." After that, there was silence in the car, with only the sound of the car engine.

When the car was about to arrive at Beihua Station, Zhao Lan took out a ticket from her bag: "Here, it's the day after tomorrow. If you have time, you can come and listen." The theater prepared VIP tickets for her. She gave some to Xiaolan and some to some friends. This was the last one Zhao Lan gave him.

The other person just curled his lips and smiled, then took the ticket from her.

The car slowly stopped not far from Beihua Station.

"Let's go." Zhao Lan pushed open the car door and got out, waved behind him and left.
