Conan Moslin

The Mihua Library is a five-story gray building. From the front, the library looks like a thumb shape.

There is only one elevator in the library, from the basement level below ground to the director and staff offices on the fifth floor.

But there are two staircases.

There are two staircases on both sides of the library, one of which is near the elevator.

Director Tsukawa was standing at the door of this staircase, blocking Aso Jun's possible escape route.

The partition wall opposite the elevator entrance was not facing the door, but opened to the library on the first floor. The middle-aged man with a bearded face had already been standing in this direction to prevent her from escaping.

Before Asou Jun finished her provocative words, Akashi pounced on her to grab her, but she ducked to avoid him and grabbed his arm.

She carefully determined the position, and then -

Boom!

Congratulations, that was a beautiful shoulder throw.

The Akashi boy fell right in the direction of the middle-aged man with a mustache.

Seeing the black shadow falling towards him, he unconsciously moved a few steps to the side.

The opportunity has come! Get out of this place!

Aso Jun ignored the hand that she stepped on and was trying to grab her, and ran out of the elevator using the path opened by Akashi and ran towards the stairs on the other side.

At this time, Conan's voice came from the direction of the library on the other side.

"Everyone, run!"

Aso Jun paused and turned in a different direction naturally.

……

Conan looked at the assistant in front of him, and several children stood behind him.

"Big sister, we were accidentally locked in the library, can you open the door and let us out?"

The harmless appearance is the biggest reliance of the children, but the woman is obviously not someone who is easily impressed.

Conan was thinking about what words to use to confront her. But out of the corner of his eye, he saw a dark figure quietly passing through the corridor between the bookshelves and then staying there, but the woman didn't notice anything.

Looking at the masked figure, Conan blinked thoughtfully.

Behind him, the eyes of several children gradually became filled with fear.

The woman seemed to notice something and turned her head to look warily.

She saw——

A white mask that seems to float in the air.

A tattered black robe.

"Who is pretending?"

She approached cautiously, but the black robe did not move.

Just as she pulled off her black robe.

The lights in the library are on.

Conan: ...The clothes are connected to the switch? Where is Sister Li An?

Don't think so much anymore.

all in all--

"Everyone run!!!"

The children who were running around found that after the robe fell to the ground, there seemed to be some familiar things scattered around.

"This is……"

These clothes...

Aren't these the props they used for that stage performance?

They are familiar!

It couldn’t be more familiar!

Edogawa Conan grabbed a small ball that looked familiar and threw it heavily to the ground.

Then something exploded with a bang.

……

Before sending the children out of the elevator, Jun Aso carefully considered what to do.

There is a high possibility that the curator was responsible for this accident, but she did not have any actual evidence at first and could not guarantee that this guess was accurate, so she had to stay in this place and see what happened.

Hiding medicine in the library is something that cannot be done by just one or two people. This requires a long assembly line, with this place being one of the strongholds and having people in the library guarding it.

If we consider the question based on how many people have problems——

According to Conan, there were two people who went to the third floor, plus the curator, a total of three people.

The purpose of the other two people coming here is unknown. It is not clear whether there are other people guarding the museum or outside.

It is risky to let Conan and the others out when they are being guarded.

If she left, these people would immediately cut off the connection with her if they couldn't catch her, and it would be difficult to contact her again.

She needs to deal with these people and buy some time to get out.

If the emergency stop of the elevator was intentional on their part.

So what actions might those people take if she were injured?

One is to fight directly in the elevator. Violent struggle may cause the elevator to fall, causing injuries to people in the elevator.

However, the inside of the elevator is easily left with marks and blood stains from bumps and collisions, which is not easy for the library to clean.

Therefore the possibility is extremely low.

The second is to bring her out from the stairs on the first and second floors and then take her to another place.

It could be imprisonment or it could be silencing.

As for the method of leaving -

There are three ways to leave the elevator, one is the stairs, and the other is the passage leading to the library.

The third place is actually the elevator.

If the power to the elevator is restored, then they can go up and down through the elevator.

Of course, this is a backup plan.

It’s great that I don’t have to use it.

This plan had only a small accident.

Looking at the mess in front of him, Jun Aso felt that Sister Li An’s description of these children was absolutely correct.

Another point.

"Sister Li An, how could you give them this kind of props to play with?!"

……

"Ah!"

Kuroba Kurian covered his mouth and sneezed, put the tools back into his pocket, pushed open the door of the library, and waved to the visitor.

Police cars without turning on their lights pulled up one by one, and Officer Megure and others got out one after another and surrounded the library.

How can we finish the work like Conan did, calling the police officers only after the incident is over?
