Chapter 112 One of the promoters of the birth of bitter wine
After discovering that Toru Amuro was missing, Jing Baiye opened the map to check where he was going and found that he was walking down the stairs.
There must be something urgent for someone to run away without saying a word. He did not chase after him immediately or call to inquire about the situation, but continued to check the nearby bookshelf.
I don’t know how the bookshelves here are arranged. The ones next to them are full of comics, and the ones here are all original foreign books. The spines of the books are all in different foreign languages.
Jing Baiye has the very useful passive skill "Human Translator". He can understand all the words on it. Soon he found a book that he was very interested in - the original French version of "Laws of Nature".
Take it off the shelf.
He had seen this book at the boss's place before. The spine and cover were exactly the same. The boss liked it very much and would put it on his desk even if he didn't read it.
After finding the book she wanted, Jing Baiye left the library and took the elevator to go through the borrowing procedures.
Borrowing books here can be done by the staff at the front desk on the first floor, or you can use the self-service bookcases near the front desk. There is no such machine on the third floor, so returning and borrowing books can only be done on the first floor.
He didn't care at all that there was a corpse in an unknown state of death sitting on the elevator. He had made quite a few corpses with his own hands, and some of them even scattered ashes.
When Jing Baiye stepped out of the elevator, Qian Duoduo's voice sounded from his pocket, someone called him.
The only things he currently carries with him are his newly issued library card and mobile phone. His passport has long been stuffed back into the system backpack using his pocket as a cover. The violin sent from Ireland is also in it. After being cheated by Panno, the previous violin was dropped.
, he never dared to leave such valuable things lying around again.
The call was from Toru Amuro. As soon as Jie Baiye pressed the answer button, the other party's anxious voice immediately came from the other side: "Angstra, where are you now?"
"I'm here at the elevator on the first floor."
"Don't run around, wait for me to come over."
Jing Baiye felt that his tone at this time was like a parent who finally found a naughty child who got into trouble and got lost, so he explained: "I didn't run around. I found the book I wanted to read, so I went to the first floor to check out the book borrowing procedures."
"Have the police already come in?" Tohru Amuro asked.
Jing Baiye looked towards the entrance of the library not far away. The eccentric librarian put the box of books at his feet. The tall police officer holding a toothpick walked up to him. Behind him were several policemen with passerby faces.
.
"Are you the curator here?" The police officer holding a toothpick took out a photo from the inner pocket of his jacket.
"Yes, my name is Jinchuan."
"My surname is Date, and I am a police officer responsible for investigating a certain disappearance case. I would like to ask Mr. Tamada Kazuo, who works here, when was the last time you saw him?" Officer Toothpick handed him the photo.
While he was asking questions, other police officers behind him were asking other staff about the situation, and then walked towards the library warehouse.
"One is questioning the curator, and the others went to the warehouse."
While answering, Jing Baiye went to the front desk to complete the formalities. After handing the books and borrowing cards to the staff, he went to look at Officer Date and Director Tsukawa who were communicating.
"What? Tamada is missing?!" Director Jinchuan looked shocked.
"Yes, his wife reported the case, saying that he has not been home since the night before yesterday." Police Officer Date explained the case, "It is said that Tamada is a meticulous person, and he will go to the library to meet his family members in advance before getting off work every day.
I called, but he didn’t call the day before yesterday... His wife thought he was working overtime, but no one came back after a day."
"The policeman who questioned the curator is very tall, nearly half a head taller than you." Jing Baiye added.
Toru Amuro is just over 1.8 meters tall, and the toothpick-wielding police officer is over 1.9 meters tall, but his temperament is not vicious.
"Don't conflict with the police. Even if they are investigating ordinary cases, they are armed with guns." Toru Amuro sounded worried for some reason.
Jing Baiye felt a little strange. Was Toru Amuro not only afraid of killing people, but also afraid of the police?... Did he suddenly disappear just now to hide from the police?
The staff returned the book and loan card to him. Jing Baiye said thank you, then put the loan card back into the system backpack and walked aside with the book in hand to avoid what he said being heard by others around him.
"Don't be afraid, the Japanese police will never arrest people casually. They don't even dare to talk about ordinary gangsters." Jing Baiye comforted her kindly, "But are you on a wanted order? You don't want to see the police so much?"
There was an eerie silence on the other side for a few seconds.
"I'm not afraid... I just remembered that people in the organization hate the police." Amuro Toru's voice and tone were very strange.
"Not everyone hates it." Jing Baiye thought for a while, "At least I don't hate it, after all..."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"——The police were one of the driving forces behind the birth of Angstra."
It was the original owner who wanted to become a policeman, and it was the poor original owner who left the world with this broken dream. It had nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, he had to thank the police for their indifferent observation at that time, otherwise he would not have been able to come to this world that was much more peaceful than before, get the code name Angstra, and have a good job with a good salary.
"I'll wait for you near the rest area on the first floor. Come down quickly. Midorikawa is waiting for us to go back for dinner."
After saying this, Jing Baiye hung up the phone directly, regardless of what Toru Amuro wanted to ask on the other side.
Here he put away his cell phone, and on the other hand, Officer Date also ended his questioning of Director Tsukawa. He exchanged a few words with the other police officers who came over, and motioned for them to continue searching other places.
Officer Date looked at Director Tsukawa who picked up the box of books again: "Do you want me to help you move it up?"
"No, it's very convenient for me to take the elevator." Director Jinchuan shook his head repeatedly.
"Then I'll go up with you, just to see what's going on on the other floors. There's also a warehouse up there, right?"
"...There is one, I will lead you."
The two walked to the elevator together. Officer Date put the photo back into the inner pocket of his clothes. A small notepad fell from his body. The sound coincided with the sound of the elevator arriving, so neither of them noticed it.
Jing Baiye walked over and picked it up, finding a photo inside the notepad.
He didn't open it. In the past, his teacher had taught him that rummaging through other people's things was an invasion of personal privacy. He reminded him loudly: "Mr. Police, you dropped something."
"Huh?" Officer Date, who was about to enter the elevator, turned around and was startled when he saw the notepad in Jing Baiye's hand. He immediately checked his pockets, only to find his fingers sticking out from underneath: "It turns out my pocket is broken...
"
He walked to Jing Baiye and took back the notepad: "Thank you very much. This notepad and the photos in it are very important to me."
