Detective Conan: Orange-flavored summer

Chapter 183 Drenched in Sweat

At this time, the curator came back and picked up the box that Conan had seen. Then, a staff member ran over and said to the curator, "Director, we're downstairs."

"I know, I'll be there right away."

Shangguan Qianxia looked back at the curator, a gleam in her eyes. Based on her intuition in the world of death, she knew that he was most likely the murderer.

Thinking about this, she said to Huiyuan Ai: "Let's go down and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Huihara Ai nodded slightly.

"Let's go check it out too!" x3

When they arrived at the elevator, there were already people standing inside. Shangguan Chinatsu and Haibara Ai walked in. There were four people in total in the elevator, including Shangguan Chinatsu and Haibara Ai, making a total of six people.

The elevator can bear 7 people, which means it can still accommodate one more person. Conan stepped into the elevator, and at this moment, the elevator suddenly started to beep.

Conan looked around at the people in the elevator in confusion, then stepped out. He turned back to look at the three little ones, and said, "Let's take the stairs. The elevator is full."

After Conan and the others left, the elevator door slowly closed.

Shangguan Qian looked up at the top of the elevator, and then confirmed again that there were indeed six people.

Given Conan's weight, it is impossible for the elevator to be overloaded, so there is only one possibility!

As they were thinking, the elevator door slowly opened and they walked out.

After handing the things to the staff member, the library director walked towards Inspector Megure.

Officer Megure looked at the library director and asked, "Sir, you are the director, right?"

"Yes, my name is Jinchuan, hello."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure knew he had found the right person. He put his hand into the pocket of his brown coat and took out a photo. He motioned for Tsukawa to look at the person in the photo.

"Today, the main reason we are here is because of the staff of your library, Tamada Kazuo."

Jinchuan heard this and explained with a smile: "He asked for leave yesterday, so he didn't come to work."

At this time, Conan and the three little ones ran down the stairs and ran behind Inspector Megure.

Conan asked curiously, "Officer Megure, what happened?"

At this time, Director Jinchuan also looked at Officer Megure curiously and asked, "Did anything happen to him?"

"It's like this, Mr. Tamada has been missing since the night before yesterday."

Hearing what Inspector Megure said, Shangguan Chinatsu raised her eyebrows and glanced at the elevator. She already had some guesses in her mind.

"What?!" Director Tsukawa looked at Officer Megure in surprise.

"We heard that he and you were working the night shift in the library the night before yesterday, right?"

"But I went back earlier than Mr. Yutian that day, and I don't know what happened after that."

After listening to their conversation, Shangguan Qianxia raised the corners of her mouth slightly. As a time traveler, she felt that what you said was full of loopholes.

At this time, Conan pointed in a direction and asked in confusion: "Why did they go to the library warehouse to investigate? Maybe he was attacked by someone on his way home."

Hearing this, Officer Megure broke out in a sweat. He explained, "This is just for the sake of caution. Mr. Tamada is a very serious person. He usually calls home from here to tell his wife before going home. But he didn't do that the night before last. This means that he was probably taken out of here by someone while working overtime, or he is still in the library now."

"If he is here, it means that he has most likely been killed by someone!"

At this time, a police officer came over and said to Officer Megure: "Officer, we have checked all the places here, but we didn't find anything."

Hearing this, Officer Megure showed a thoughtful look on his face. He put his hand to his chin and then said thoughtfully: "So, he was taken out after all."

"All right……"

"Officer Megure, wait a moment."

When Officer Megure heard this, he turned around and looked at Shangguan Qianxia curiously, then asked, "What's wrong with this lady?"

Shangguan Qianxia did not answer Officer Megure's words. She looked at Director Jinchuan and asked, "You mean, he took a leave of absence yesterday?"

"Yes."

"And did you work overtime together the day before yesterday?"

"Yes."

After seeing these two sentences were answered, Shangguan Qianxia showed a confident smile. She turned to look at Officer Megure and said, "Officer, it is very likely that Mr. Tamada is lying somewhere now, and this place is in the library."

"Oh? Miss, do you think..."

"Could you please investigate that elevator, Officer Megure? I mean above the elevator."

As soon as these words came out, Director Jinchuan was sweating all over. He wiped his sweaty forehead with his hand and said in an unclear tone: "What a joke, the elevator..."

Before he finished speaking, Inspector Megure waved his hand and ordered, "Yoshi, go investigate now."

It won’t waste much time anyway.

Director Jinchuan closed his mouth, but the sweat on his forehead looked like rain.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Director Jinchuan felt as if he had taken a bath.

Shangguan Qianxia smiled and joked: "Director, if it really doesn't work, you can go sit over there. The investigation will be completed soon anyway."

“Haha, yes…yes.”

The weather is getting cold, so it’s time for Director Jinchuan to go in and operate the sewing machine.

At this time, a police officer ran over in a hurry. He came to Officer Megure and reported: "Report to the officer, we found Mr. Tamada's body in the elevator!"

"What?!!"

Everyone was shocked, except Director Jinchuan, who was trembling and sweating all over.

Officer Megure looked at Director Jinchuan with a sharp look in his eyes. He asked, "Director Jinchuan, what's going on?"

"I don't know... maybe someone..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, don't you think before you speak? The library has surveillance cameras."

"The surveillance...the surveillance camera just happened to be broken that day."

Shangguan Qianxia smiled and shook her head, then narrowed her eyes and continued to say to Officer Megure: "Officer, please arrange for someone to go to the third floor and carefully investigate every bookshelf. I guess you will definitely gain something different, right, Director Jinchuan?"

"What are you... talking about? You will disturb the readers here."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, are you not thinking before you speak? There's a dead person here, and you're still reading? Who can continue reading?"
