Conan Moslin

The endless and messy use of props is the strong point of the Young Detective Team. When they caught a group of bad guys in that shopping mall, it caused a lot of chaos. They are not afraid when the adults who like to indulge them and are willing to support them come.

The only one who was afraid was the police officer who walked in as soon as Wan Conan and the others entered the door.

Inspector Megure's eyebrows were dancing as usual. Thinking of Li An who entered the library early and allowed several children to commit crimes, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.

Li An, who felt the gaze, didn't care, nor did she interrupt. She just listened carefully to Aso Jun's detailed description of the situation and tried to piece together what had happened.

So Inspector Megure's attention naturally shifted to the person involved.

Aso Jun was very calm. Holding his injured arm, he first told the curator about the first thing he had to do, which was to leave in another direction. Then he explained to Li An and the police officer.

She discovered the problem, but didn't realize that anyone had noticed it, which led to the person who discovered the problem accidentally locking her and several children in the elevator.

"…The location where we parked is very special. They are small, so it is easier for them to go out and find someone to rescue me."

It was a very dangerous matter, but she spoke of it clearly and crisply, as if she was reporting a work situation.

Officer Takagi nodded silently, recorded the situation, and then at Officer Megure's signal, asked her to take them to the place where the hidden things were.

At this time, Conan was wondering where the director had gone.

When they came in, Inspector Megure directed several teams to disperse to different places, but they haven't caught them yet.

The curator should be familiar with this place... Where will he hide? Where will he leave from?

The dean's office? The switch room? The stairwell? Or maybe the book storage warehouse?

Or...already escaped?

From the back door? Or another exit?

Sister Li An, who had already figured out the situation before the police officer came in...would she let him escape?

Jun Aso led a team of police officers, who took the director's assistant and three others upstairs to find the place where the medicine was placed. Another team of police officers had already dispersed to the vicinity of the library to search for the director who might have escaped.

When she went upstairs, she looked at Li An and explained in a low voice.

"Sister Li An...I..."

"It's not your problem. You did a great job." Li An paused, still a little worried, "Is your injury okay?"

There was a clear message written in her eyes.

——Do you need me to “repair” it?

"I checked Ai in the elevator, but she probably needs to see a doctor."

——No need to bother Sister Li An.

Then I'll "fix" it.

Li An's face was peaceful as usual.

"Report to the officer!"

"The curator was found at the escape door of the underground warehouse!"

"Why didn't you bring it here?"

The police officer who came to report was embarrassed: "When we found him, he was lying there. He might have fallen down the stairs to the underground warehouse. His arms and legs were injured... We may need to wait for the doctor to come."

He’s old and weak, and they don’t know if he hit his head, so they dare not move.

When I saw him, his eyes were wide open and staring, as if he saw something terrible, which was a bit creepy.

Having said that, I always feel like the police officer is here to finish it off...

Alas, I still can’t escape.

Li An finished the repair work, shook his phone and suggested to Officer Megure: "I was in the group before I came. Doctor Cheng Shi has received the news and should be here soon. You can check the curator before the ambulance comes."

It's not a bad idea to break your neck if you fall down, but the police officer still has to interrogate you, so you have to save your life.

She is a good citizen.

"Narishi... I remember it was... Doctor Asai Narishi? I heard from Officer Takagi that she went to work for your magic troupe..."

The last time he met her and this time, she discovered or suspected of discovering sea poison, and the memory point was triggered, so Inspector Megure had some impression of this doctor.

She is a gentle and capable female doctor.

Li An nodded.

Speaking of doctors, Jun Aso's mind went blank for a moment.

It’s over. She forgot about her brother whom she had just recognized and was still in the “deep sister complex” period!

Although the police officer called him another "Narishi", my brother said that the name on his ID now is Asai Narishi.

...Wait, why did Inspector Megure say "she" is a female?

I remembered.

My brother said he worked on Moon Shadow Island before he came here.

When she went to Moonshadow Island, the doctor there was a female doctor.

Wow.

I don’t think Sister Li An mentioned this before.

Maybe I did say it, but she ignored it.

At this time, we were already in the science section on the fourth floor.

Although they were talking about other things, Aso Jun took Li An to the place where the books were stored without delay.

Of course, he didn't know that Masashi had already arrived.

Li An looked at the row of cabinets where the sea poison was hidden and asked, "Have you opened the boxes there?"

"Yes, I opened it very carefully and packed it tightly." Aso Jun originally answered confidently, but when she thought about being trapped in the elevator today, she thought carefully about the situation at that time and hesitated a little, "Maybe there were traces left at that time."

Li An's gaze moved slightly downward.

There was a freshly cleaned indentation on the red carpet, and only in this one place.

The police officers turned the handle on the side of the bookcase, and the bookcase slid along the fixed track, revealing the "third layer" in the middle of the bookshelf.

A row of spineless plastic book covers came into view.

Officer Takagi pulled his white gloves and took out several boxes from the bookshelf at once. He opened the boxes and saw several packets of white powder lying quietly inside.

As the box opened, wisps of extremely fine white powder leaked out, dyeing the red carpet white.

This is true in every book.

Aso Junya noticed this and couldn't help but feel dejected.

Li An couldn't help but stretched out his hand and started rubbing.

"I'll pay attention to it in the future."

She said something in a low voice, but still did not slap Sister Li An's hand away. She continued to mutter something in a low voice.

She didn't slap Sister Li An's hand away only because her arm was injured.

It's okay to rub a child's head, she is already sixteen years old!

He is an adult who can stand on his own!

But...as long as Sister Li An is happy.

……

Almost at the same time as the taxi arrived outside the library, the police station's intercom phone suddenly rang.

A few minutes later, a white Mazda and several other cars set out from the Beihua Police Station and drove away one after another, following from a distance several inconspicuous cars that set out from the residential apartments.

A commanding voice came from the intercom, giving instructions in an orderly manner.

The sound of people reporting addresses came one after another.

It was as if someone was at the highest point, having a panoramic view of the small town of Mihua.

To avoid being discovered, they took turns like a relay, changing route from another place and then turning back at another intersection, chasing after several of the cars.

Several cars gradually gathered in one direction, but one of them fell behind.

On this small map, the white Mazda quietly turned and chased the "slippery fish" in another direction.

A middle-aged man's steady and powerful voice came from the intercom, with a barely perceptible gentleness in his majesty.

"Be safe. Don't act rashly."

Record the address and wait for the opportunity.

Prepare to wipe it out in one fell swoop.
