The library was dark at night and there was no sound of anyone.
Jiang Xia routinely borrowed Gui Ying's night vision ability.
After seeing the environment clearly, he identified the direction and walked straight to the elevator.
…
In Jiang Xia's memory, there was only one case that happened in the library.
——The curator was selling drugs and was discovered by one of his employees. The curator then killed the employee and hid the body on top of the elevator.
Originally, the body was well hidden.
Unexpectedly, this afternoon, Conan and several of his classmates came to the library to do homework.
Although Conan didn't know where the body was, he was keenly aware of its aura.
In addition, I learned that there are employees missing here. He felt more and more: the missing employee might be dead. Later, someone hid his body in the library.
So after hours in the library, a group of children secretly stayed in the library to find the bodies of the employees.
At the same time, the director also noticed through the lights that someone was still in the library.
So now, the curator is holding an iron rod, planning to find those "rats" hiding in the museum in the dark and kill them.
…
Lobby.
Jiang Xia quickly came to the elevator and looked up at the electronic screen above.
Judging from the numbers displayed above, the elevator is stopping on the third floor at this time.
Jiang Xia raised her hand and pressed it, arrogantly summoning the elevator down.
Although this could easily cause noise, unlike several children who were desperately hiding, Jiang Xia had no intention of "not alerting the curator."
On the contrary, he hoped that the curator would quickly discover the unusual movement, come to him consciously and proactively, and send the ghost and shikigami over by the way.
…
As the elevator went down, Jiang Xia walked to the stairs aside.
When he got to the second floor, the elevator had stopped at the first floor.
Jiang Xia walked to the elevator door, pried open the door, and looked down.
At the top of the elevator, he saw a dead body lying on his back. There was a rope around the body's neck, and a small pool of blood was spread under the back of the head. It seemed that it had been strangled first and then thrown into the elevator.
There was no shikigami on the corpse's legs.
"..." I don't know whether the ghost failed to be generated or whether it was generated, but the ghost was on the curator's lap.
Jiang Xia let go of his hand in disappointment and let the elevator door close again.
It seems that I have to go to the curator to get his ghost back.
…
Jiang Xia looked at the ceiling and listened to the subtle movements in the distance of the building.
He remembered that on the way the director was returning home from get off work, the naughty kid from the Junior Detective Group turned on the lights in the library, causing the director to realize there was someone in the library and turn back with a gloomy expression.
In other words, during this period, the curator should be playing death hide-and-seek with the young detective team, "If your uncle catches you, I will strangle you to death."
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia took out her mobile phone, glanced at the elevator that blocked the signal, and turned towards the stairwell.
He called the Megure Police Department.
As a friendly policeman who likes to take in his younger brothers, the Mu Mu Police Department had already given Jiang Xia his personal phone number.
Calling him is more convenient than calling the operator. There is no need to leave basic information such as your name, contact information, etc. You can start the call directly.
…
Metropolitan Police Department.
The police department is working overtime again tonight.
He's looking for the library's missing employee.
At this time, when he picked up the phone, he heard Jiang Xia say that he found a body in the elevator of the library. The Mumu Police Department immediately realized that what Jiang Xia was talking about might be the target he was looking for.
…
During the day, the Memu Police Department had led a team to search the library, but could not find the body.
At this time, I learned that the body was on the top of the elevator. Thinking that I had ridden in that elevator... the police department silently got goosebumps all over.
"I'll be there soon." He hurried out of the office and called a few of his subordinates.
Suddenly he was a little confused: "It's already this time, why are you in the library?...Forget it, we'll talk about this later, you leave as soon as possible! The murderer dared to hide the body in the elevator, which means he might be from the library The internal staff is very familiar with the environment there, and because of his guilty conscience, he is likely to continue to stay in the museum after get off work. You..."
"ah--!!!"
In the background sound from Jiang Xia's side, there was suddenly a vague scream of a child.
When the Mumu Police Department heard it through the phone, they were stunned: "What was that sound just now? Are there children in the library?!"
On the stairs, Jiang Xia's footsteps paused slightly.
He raised his head and looked upward through the gap between the stairs: "Maybe."
…
With that said, Jiang Xia quickened his pace slightly.
At the same time, he did not forget the problem of the Mu Mu Police Department, and casually patched his own behavior:
"I misremembered the closing time of the library. When I wanted to return the books, the library had already closed. But I saw a room on the third floor, the lights suddenly turned on for a few seconds, and I could vaguely see the faces of children on the floor-to-ceiling windows. Figure. I was worried that a child missed get off work time and was locked in by mistake, so I broke in to take a look at the situation..."
The Mumu Police Department was almost dying of anxiety: "Stop talking. If the murderer is really in the library, this will reveal your location!"
"Well, okay." Jiang Xia lowered her voice in a good-natured manner and whispered into the receiver, "Then I'll go over and take a look first. Come quickly."
He hung up the phone.
"Wait..." The Mu Mu Police Department wanted to remind him to pay attention to safety and pay attention to strategy... but Jiang Xia gave up too quickly.
If you call back at this time, the ringtone will be dangerous. He could only put down his cell phone and anxiously called to his subordinates: "Hurry up!"
The enthusiastic detective walks towards the ruthless murderer, he may be in danger! !
Oh, yes, and those naughty kids who broke into the library.
…
On the top floor of the library, a little further in time.
When Jiang Xia dialed the number for the Mu Mu Police Department.
Conan wiped the dust from his hands and walked down from the mechanical room.
He walked to the elevator, opened the elevator door forcefully, and pressed the switch next to the elevator.
Conan then turned around and said happily to his three first-grade classmates: "I found the body - when we took the elevator during the day, the reason why it showed overload was because there was an 'invisible passenger' in the elevator."
…
While talking, the elevator gradually moved upward.
The corpse on the top of the elevator slowly appeared in Conan's flashlight aperture.
The other three children's faces were ashen, and they all let out a scream of terror.
Conan didn't realize that all this was too heavy for the three children.
He frowned: "It's too cruel. This person should have been killed by the curator. We have to go quickly..."
The word "report the crime" hasn't been uttered yet.
A light suddenly rose from the bottom of his feet.
——After the elevator lifted the body, it continued upward, gradually revealing the bright elevator car below.
There stood a man full of murderous intent.
The elevator door was now wide open. As the elevator went up, Director Jinchuan's head appeared in front of the children, then his neck, then his body... The director stood in the elevator car, clutching a metal water pipe, and grinned with a sinister smile.
Conan's heart tightened, and he turned around and quickly gave some instructions to the children.
Later, when Director Jinchuan stepped off the elevator, Conan used reasoning such as "hiding drugs" and "killing staff" to draw Director Jinchuan's attention away.
The other three children took the opportunity to sneak into the elevator and press the floor button for the first floor.
The elevator began to go down slowly.
When the elevator was more than half way down and the elevator car overlapped with this floor by less than half a meter, Conan passed under the curator's crotch with a sliding shovel and narrowly slipped into the elevator.
