Saturday, a rare rest day in the Kexue world, was basically useless to Sotakuya.
Whenever they have a case in hand, not to mention weekends, even if they are on vacation, they have to be recalled temporarily.
Although Sotakuya couldn't make it through the weekend, it didn't mean that others couldn't make it through the weekend either.
When Sotakuya led the team to the Mihua Library, the director of the library was not in the library. The person who received them was a librarian named Tamada Kazuo.
After a brief contact, Takuya found that the administrator Tamada is a very responsible and talkative person. The bookish Tamada can always make other police officers in the classroom laugh with his witty remarks inadvertently.
And he also has a treasure trove of books in the entire library.
"Is there anything unusual happening in the library recently?" Sotakuya's subordinates were investigating in the library. He and Tamada stood together and asked, looking at the readers coming and going.
"Officer Zong is really joking. We are just an ordinary library here. We open the door to welcome all readers in the same way every day, and then close the door normally."
"But speaking of weird situations..."
As Yutian was talking, something suddenly occurred to him, and then he smiled absurdly: "Ha, it's nothing."
"What? It doesn't matter, Mr. Tamada. You can speak freely here, and it's not illegal, right?" Zong Takuya showed kindness to this elegant and funny middle-aged man.
The Tamada in front of him looked very much like the class teacher he met in junior high school. Thanks to that class teacher, So Takuya was able to survive those difficult three years.
Tamada smiled sadly and looked a little embarrassed: "It's not a particularly strange situation."
"It suddenly occurred to me just now that the original foreign language books in the library seem to be selling very well recently, and the librarian is always restocking them during this period."
"But it doesn't seem like what you wanted to know, police officer, so I didn't say anything."
"Original foreign language books?" Zong Takuya was a little concerned, so he asked: "Are those foreign language books still available?"
Tamada shook his head regretfully: "No more. The last copy was bought by a reader last weekend, and the curator has been urging the manufacturer to ship it this week."
"is that so......"
Zong Takuya gradually fell into deep thought.
There are basically no small bookstores with original foreign books like the ones mentioned by Tamada just now. Even if there are large bookstores like Mihua Library, they may not be easy to sell.
This kind of foreign original works have a fixed audience, and they are basically circulated and purchased by a small circle. It is really rare for someone to come to buy the kind of goods Tamada just mentioned as soon as they arrive.
Sotakuya could also tell that this situation must have happened more than once or twice, otherwise Tamada wouldn't care so much.
"Mr. Tamada, please take me to the bookcase of foreign originals." Sotakuya woke up from his thoughts and said with a smile to Tamada who was waiting quietly.
"Okay, please follow me, Officer Zong."
Sotakuya and Tamada took the elevator in the library to the third floor. After opening the glass door and entering the library area, Tamada stood at the door and introduced softly to Sotakuya:
"Most of the books and works on the bookshelves here are foreign books and works, of course they are all translated versions. You can also find various foreign language dictionaries here."
"The original foreign books purchased by the curator before are placed here, but the curator is very precious about the books he purchased. Each one is placed by the curator himself."
After listening to Tamada's introduction, Sotakuya took a deep look at the man. He still really doesn't know what Yutian is, he just introduces it to himself.
I still know something subtle about reminding me.
However, it doesn't matter whether Tamada knows that he has anything to do with Sotakuya. Sotakuya has determined one thing through this morning's investigation.
That is, the director of the Mihua Library is a serious suspect, provided that everything Tamada said is true.
"By the way, Mr. Tamada, where is your curator's home?" Sotakuya seemed to ask Tamada Kazuo unintentionally.
"Eh? You mean the curator..." Tamada Kazuo frowned and thought for a while before answering uncertainly: "I heard that he seems to live in 4-chome of Miwa Town?"
"If you, Officer Zong, need the director's specific address, I can help you contact the human resources department in the library and ask!"
"It's okay, don't bother Mr. Tamada." Sotakuya patted Tamada Kazuo's shoulder and was about to say something, but was stunned for a moment.
Because he seemed to see an acquaintance in the library, or it should be an acquaintance whom he had met once before - the dog-riding boy Conan.
The Conan in front of me seems to be reading books in the library with his classmates, but under normal circumstances, elementary school students of this age usually read comics or storybooks on the fifth floor.
There are very few people like Conan on the third floor holding a thick dictionary and flipping through it.
At least the elementary school students around Conan were holding Masked Superman comics taken from the fifth floor.
"Hey, these kids..." Kazuo Tamada apparently also saw three elementary school students holding books from other floors, so he walked forward:
"Children, remember to put the books in your hands back to their original places after you finish reading!"
"Okay, we get it~~" The three primary school students replied in unison. Conan on the side was completely immersed in his own world and grabbed his hair in annoyance and continued to check the dictionary.
So Takuya did not follow Tamada Kazuo forward, because after seeing several elementary school students in the library, his phone vibrated several times for a long time.
Based on Sotakuya's experience, if it is an N-level informant, the phone will only vibrate once, and for an R-level informant, the phone will only vibrate twice.
In addition to the UR Conan who keeps vibrating his phone like a vibrator, there is actually an informant among these elementary school students who is beyond R-rated? !
Elementary school students in Mikka Town...what's going on?
Hearing everything was worse than seeing it. Zong Takuya immediately took out his mobile phone and clicked on the Tokyo Informant Book (Tool Directory) to check it out.
Sure enough, an SR informant was updated in the informant book, or this should be a combination of informants. When he saw the recent group of informants, Zong Takuya's expression suddenly became strange.
[Congratulations to the user for coming into contact with the hidden SR informant group - the Youth Death Group.
Group name: Young Detective Group (to be established)
Combined occupations: Elementary school student/reckless bastard/little pervert/kidnapping caller/detective
Strategy: As the most unexpected combination in the world, this combination is basically impossible to strategy. Will continue to call various cases and is keen on seeking death.
Users only need to follow the group occasionally to receive a steady stream of credits.
*Remarks*: Uncertain situations occur due to user intervention, and the fatality rate of the death group is greatly increased. Users are advised to take appropriate measures to prevent this SR combination from becoming a one-time event calling device. 】
Zong Takuya had no doubt about the value of the evaluation given by the informant book, but now he wanted to know how capable these elementary school students were, that they could actually get the informant book to send a special note?
Also, what the hell are those professions?
Detective So Takuya knows that he is most likely talking about the dog-riding boy Conan. As for the reckless bastard, he is probably the chubby little guy who looks very good at eating.
As for the little Seppi and the kidnapping caller... Zong Takuya thinks that the one with freckles on his face should be the Little Seppi, and the one who looks harmless to humans and animals is the kidnapping caller.
Otherwise, Zong Takuya's three views are already fragmented enough today, so it's better not to be more fragmented.
