After leading the police officers to the Mihua Library, Officer Megure, wearing his iconic orange coat and hat, took out his ID and showed it to Hideharu Tsugawa before asking.
"Yes, my name is Jinchuan."
Putting aside the box that had just been moved from the children's reading room, Tsugawa Hideharu replied.
In response, Officer Megure took out a photo from his pocket. The photo was the ID photo of a middle-aged man. Without much greeting, Officer Megure directly stated his intention:
"I came here today to ask you about the staff here, Mr. Tamada Kazuo."
"Tamatian..."
Seeing the people in the photo and hearing Officer Megure's words, Hideharu Tsugawa thought for a moment, and then said with a hint of confusion:
"It's strange to say that he hasn't come to work since yesterday, and he hasn't asked for leave. This is not like his style at all."
"Ah! Officer, what happened to him?"
Saying that, Tsugawa Hideharu seemed to notice something and asked slightly surprised.
"The thing is like this, Yutian has disappeared."
Officer Megure said with a serious expression.
"What! Tamada is missing!"
Tsugawa Hideharu showed a surprised expression and said in disbelief.
"Yes."
Officer Memu said, "His wife came to report the case and said that he had not come home since the night before yesterday."
Hearing this, Tsugawa Hideharu still maintained a surprised expression and said in disbelief:
"How...how could..."
"I heard that you stayed with him to work overtime the night before yesterday."
Seeing Tsugawa Hideji's reaction, Officer Megure stared at him with a serious face.
Although Tsugawa Hideharu was surprised, he still answered Officer Megure seriously:
"Yes, but I went back first. I don't know what will happen next..."
"Officer Megure!"
At this time, Conan couldn't help but stepped forward and asked Officer Memu:
"In that case, why are we searching the library warehouse? Maybe he was kidnapped on his way home!"
Pointing at the police officers who were searching the warehouse, Conan asked doubtfully.
"Just to be cautious."
Officer Megure said:
"Because Tamada is a meticulous person. He would call his wife in the library every day after get off work. But he didn't call the night before. In other words, he might have been taken away from here by someone while working overtime. , or he is still in the museum at all!"
As he said that, Officer Megu's expression became solemn:
"If the others are still in the museum, they will most likely have been killed!"
"Police Department! We have searched all the warehouses, toilets and other places that are less noticed, but found nothing."
Just as he was talking, all the police officers sent out to search had returned and reported to Officer Megure.
"Mr. Tamada is tall and should be very eye-catching. If you can't find him..."
In response to this, Officer Mumu couldn’t help but say:
"He must have been kidnapped. Well, let's go back first!"
With that said, Officer Megure prepared to withdraw his team and go back.
Seeing the police officers preparing to leave, Tsugawa Hideharu, who was originally surprised, could not help but soften his expression——
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, Xiao Ai took her mobile phone and ran to Officer Memu and stopped him:
"Brother Akechi said he wanted to have a few words with Officer Megure."
Seeing this, Officer Mumu couldn't help being stunned, but when he heard that Gao Yuan was about to say something to him, he couldn't help but took the mobile phone handed over by Xiao Ai——
"Hey! Brother Mingzhi, what's going on..."
In this regard, Conan, who had already noticed the abnormality of this disappearance, was thinking about what to do when he saw that after receiving the call from Gao Yuan, Officer Megure had just said a word and his expression began to become extremely serious. Conan couldn't help but
Very surprised by this.
Before hanging up the phone, Officer Megure suddenly whispered a few instructions to the two police officers beside him. The two police officers responded with a serious "yes" and came to Tsugawa Hideharu.
Left and right, sandwiching Tsugawa Hideji in the middle——
Seeing this, Conan was stunned - he was simply afraid that Director Tsugawa would escape, so he asked two police officers to watch him! What happened? What did Mr. Akechi say? Why did Officer Megure's attitude suddenly change?
changed!
In response to this, Tsugawa Hideharu, who originally had a calm expression, looked at the battle at this moment, his eyes widened, and he seemed to be stunned, and he even started to break out in cold sweat——
"police officer……"
Before Tsugawa Hideharu could ask, Officer Megure ordered the remaining police officers:
"Clear the elevator, no one can get close! Send two more people to check above the elevator!"
Hearing this, Tsugawa Hideharu's expression began to become panicked. Just as he was about to retreat, two strong police officers around him grabbed his arms, preventing him from moving——
"elevator!"
After hearing Officer Megure's instructions, Conan suddenly realized what the problem was -
How could an elevator that carries seven people be overloaded after carrying four adults and four children? Children weigh much less than adults. If it is overloaded in that situation, the only way
There is only one explanation left...
"Hey! Haiyuan! When did Mr. Akechi discover this!"
Looking at Xiao Ai walking towards him, Conan asked in surprise:
"He was obviously not at the scene at all..."
"While I was on the phone with him, he heard the elevator overload beep, and then asked me about the people in the elevator at that time..."
With an indifferent expression, Xiao Ai replied, and then couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile:
"Ah, what's wrong, Detective? You seem to be very shocked?"
Hearing this, Conan couldn't help but hold his head, feeling very ashamed - damn it! He actually ignored such an important detail!
"But, didn't you find those books strange? How about going to verify them now?"
Seeing Conan's appearance at this moment, Xiao Ai couldn't help but add:
"The motive should be there..."
…
"The reasoning is over, let's start closing the case."
"Comprehensive evaluation of case closure: C"
"Knowledge: S"
"Observation: C"
"Social :D"
"The settlement is completed, the overall score reaches C, and the reward is 20."
"Detective Rating: Certified Detective"
"Bounty: 1700"
While hanging up the IV in the hospital, looking at the settlement panel that appeared in front of him, Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile with relief - it seems that the incident in the library was successfully resolved this time, and with "S" level "knowledge",
It seems that this incident is no different from the original plot.
Because Officer Megure directly controlled the library director, found the body hidden in the elevator, and also discovered through Conan that there were illegal drugs hidden in some books in the library, Officer Megure directly took all the clues
All the library staff were taken back for investigation. Even the library was completely sealed and a rigorous search began.
In this way, in the original work, the young detective team who would have been in danger due to investigating the library at night would not be in danger. The so-called shadow of childhood was directly strangled in the cradle by Gao Yuan.
Thinking like this, Gao Yuan, who was sitting in the infusion hall, looked at the three bottles of potion that he had not finished yet, looked relaxed, leaned on the chair, and took a rest...
At night, the Metropolitan Police Department——
"Officer Megure, why are Director Jinchuan unwilling to explain the origin of those illegal drugs!"
After walking out of the interrogation room, Takagi Wataru reported to Officer Megure with a tired look on his face.
"If he was responsible for handling such a large amount of illegal drugs by himself, he would be severely sentenced regardless of whether he confesses or not..."
Officer Memu said with a serious expression:
"It seems that it's a bit difficult to pry open his mouth..."
"Officer Megure, people from the Narcotics Control Department are here, saying they want to take away Director Jinchuan to help them investigate a case related to illegal drugs!"
At this time, Miwako Sato suddenly walked in from outside and reported to Officer Megure.
"Narcotics Control Department? How come they move so fast?"
Officer Memu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.
"Memu Police Department, long time no see."
As he was talking, a very capable-looking man about thirty years old walked in from outside the office, and behind him were two young men in police uniforms.
"Jinguji..."
Looking at the leading man, Officer Memu called him by his last name.
The man named "Jinguji" did not say much and said directly:
"The illegal drugs you seized this time are exactly the same as the illegal drugs transported by several students on the Shinkansen before. The mastermind behind that incident has not been found, so I hope the Metropolitan Police Department will cooperate with our investigation.
