Dice has to give me spoilers for the plot of Ke Xue

After arriving in Kyoto, Liya finally understood why Matsuda Jinpei made it so indifferent to attend the meeting.

This meeting was held on the second day and it was called an exchange meeting. After the exchange, it quickly began to argue about various details. A group of middle-aged men who started out in the police department confronted each other, mocking each other. The most interesting thing is that every At the end of the meeting, there is also a fake handshake, and praise the other party for their very feasible suggestions.

Li Ya and a few young police officers could only watch quietly without looking sideways. Fortunately, this torture only lasted for three days.

And on the way back, the boss offered to give her a compensatory leave this week.In this way, the two weekend rest days occupied by this meeting just offset the two working days before the May holiday, and seamlessly connected with the May long holiday.

It is equivalent to a full eight-day paid holiday from April 4 to May 28, which fully appeases any dissatisfaction of the workers.

Rice Flower Library.

"Don't stand at the door, please give way, please?"

"Ah, sorry."

Asai Riya took a few steps back, stopped at the corner by the door, carefully looked at this small building with an ordinary appearance, and her expression became subtle.

In front of her eyes, a transparent mission panel was displayed——

【Library Murder Case】

[Task Status: In Progress]

【Mission Location: Tokyo Metropolitan Mihua Library】

[Mission objective: The seemingly ordinary library hides surprising crimes, good deeds are rewarded with evil, the truth is long overdue, please stop the murderer's actions in time. 】

[Task Reward: Points * 10, library use skills increase by 4%]

When I saw the mission related to the murder incident again, I felt a sense of intimacy that I hadn't seen for a long time.

And the rewards are as exciting as ever.

It just so happens that the next piece of plot fragments can be collected in ten minutes. The task at this time is really timely, and the panel is quite considerate.

After returning to Tokyo, Asai Riya took a good rest at home for two days, and then unexpectedly received a friendly reminder from the library, telling her that her library card would expire at the end of this month, and if she wanted to extend it, she had to come and reapply. One procedure.

Riya doesn't live in Mihua Town, but compared to the large municipal library, which is far away, the Mihua Library is small, but most of the time it is enough to meet the needs of reading, so she is more used to borrowing books here.

So, on the last day of April, Liya decided to stop by during the walk after dinner to solve this trivial matter.

Unexpectedly, the moment before the door was about to be pushed open, a brass-colored dice with a metallic luster flashed in front of his eyes.Riya was stunned, and immediately called up the task panel, and found that the new investigation task was clearly hung there.

What's different is that this time the task objective clearly emphasizes "timely", and she has a vague intuition that it's best to start taking action immediately.

When I raised my head and looked at the library again, the previous relaxed and happy state of mind was completely different.

Exhaling, she pushed the door open with a polite smile and walked in.

At the moment, there is only one tall male staff member at the front desk, his head bowed in a daze.Hearing the sound, he subconsciously stuffed the things in his hands behind the computer screen, and showed a gentle and polite smile: "Hello, welcome."

Naturally glanced at the badge on his chest, which had the name "Tamada Kazuo" written on it, Riya looked away, and handed over his library card neatly: "Mr. Yutian, I made an appointment to come here earlier. Apply for extension of library card.”

While the clerk started to operate on the computer, she leaned over to glance behind the computer for a week, and then quickly stood up straight as if nothing had happened.

[55/75]

[The investigation was judged successful.What you see hidden by the clerk is an original book in a foreign language, and the plastic film has not been opened, but there is no abnormality other than that. 】

Working in a library, it's normal to like to read books. Is there something special about hiding them deliberately?

Riya put down this doubt for the time being, leaned against the front desk, and started to talk like an ordinary customer who passed the boring time: "I feel that there are no customers in the store, is it because the business hours are about to end?"

"Yes, we will close in about half an hour," Yutian Kazuo said, raised his head from behind the computer, and handed over his library card. "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Riya stroked the cold library card and smiled: "Is there any other staff upstairs? I would like to trouble you to help me find some original English hardcover books for collection."

Yutian Kazuo looked at the door with some embarrassment: "That kind of book is on the fourth floor, sorry, the curator and Ms. Maolu are off work, I have to stay here at the front desk... If you don't mind, you can read it for a while , I will go up to check the doors and windows later, and I can help you pick up the book then."

He did not name a specific area for such books.

Liya noticed this, and didn't ask any more questions, and nodded smoothly: "Okay, then I'll take a look at it myself first."

While turning around, Liya couldn't help frowning: Although his behavior was a bit strange, the remaining employee of the library, Yutian Kazuo, had a calm temper and didn't seem to be the type who would have murderous intentions.

Then, let's go upstairs and take a look at the remaining customers in the library.

That's what she said, but she went upstairs and looked around, and the second and third floors were as empty as the first floor.

When I went up to the fourth floor, just as the elevator opened, Riya heard someone else's voice:

The clear, dissatisfied voice with a protracted tail tune carried the unique vigor of an adolescent girl: "Xinyi, the library is about to close. Have you selected the books you want to borrow?"

Another brisk and lively voice, probably a teenager who has not yet started his voice change, responded: "Wait a minute, I'll finish reading this page soon."

Turning around the bookshelves, Riya Asai showed a smile of obvious surprise at the right time: "Great, there are still people here who haven't left!"

"Huh?" The girl with long black hair and bright blue eyes cried out in surprise.

"We didn't see the person you were looking for." The black-haired boy leaning on the bookshelf reading looked up and said cheerfully.

Noticing Liya's slightly surprised expression, he smiled complacently: "It's obvious. After you went upstairs, you walked directly to the place where there are people. Obviously, the main purpose is not to find books; also, after you came, you first looked around. , found that we were the only ones who acted disappointed afterwards, which means you thought there were other people here, right?"

The long explanation is full of ostentation.

Liya was really a little surprised by his keen observation ability at first, but when he heard his slightly childish complacency, he laughed a little and nodded in agreement: "It's all right, it's amazing."

The boy was obviously satisfied with her reaction, closed the book and stood up straight: "My name is Kudo Shinichi, and I'm a detective."

The black-haired girl who was looking at him with her hips on her hips stretched out her hand towards Riya in embarrassment: "I'm Mori Ran, and Shinichi and I are both still in junior high school."

Riya calmly felt the touch of her palm, and somewhat understood why she had such clear and smooth muscle lines.It seems that she is an athletic girl, and she is probably practicing karate or something.

Retracting his hand, Liya seriously reconfirmed: "Did you really not see anyone else?"

Kudo Shinichi recollected for a while, and stated his itinerary with certainty: "I took the latest detective novel from the third floor, and then stayed here with Xiaolan."

Seeing Liya's thoughtful appearance, he took a step forward, his eyes flashed with curiosity, and asked actively: "Tell me what the person you are looking for looks like, although we haven't seen it, we might Can you find other clues for you?"

Mao Lilan also helped to raise other possible guesses: "If the agreed person does not show up, maybe it was delayed by other things?"

Although she blushed a little, she had always had full confidence in her own abilities, so she said with a bit of embarrassment: "Xinyi has always regarded Holmes as an idol, and his future goal is to become a detective. He should be able to help you. of."

The term "detective" unconsciously brought back a memory of Riya being ridiculed as a detective.

But aside from the unhappiness in his heart, this boy's observation skills are indeed excellent, and the library is really about to close.

"Actually, I didn't come here to find someone."

She didn't hesitate anymore, took out the police officer's ID card to show her identity, restrained her smile, and her expression became serious: "I received an anonymous report today. According to enthusiastic citizens, I saw someone in this library suspected of conducting illegal transactions. , so I temporarily suspended my vacation and came to take a look."

The task panel all pointed out that "evil is hidden". There is definitely a problem with this library, but there is no evidence, so Riya had to give a reasonable explanation half-truth, anyway, it is said that it is an anonymous report, and there is no way to correct certificate.

The two innocent teenagers immediately accepted this statement, and looked at her with more kind eyes. They obviously had a good impression of the "dedicated police officer who gave up vacation and consciously worked overtime".

Riya coughed lightly, maintaining a serious expression: "So, do the two students have any special discoveries to tell me?"

Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan looked at each other, and shook their heads with some regret.

"Don't take it to heart, it's my responsibility." The expressions of the two were obviously disappointed, Riya could not help but waved his hand to comfort him, and turned to look for the original foreign language book area that was originally scheduled to be searched.
