Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

Amuro Tooru thought about his purpose.

Let's take another look at the Danpo we encountered by chance...

He decided not to discuss the cat issue with the child anymore.

Although he really liked Xiao Xiaobai, that was not a reason for Danpo to test or provoke him.

With that thought, he simply ignored the cat's question and said to Kudo Kazuma with a smile, "I didn't expect that Little Shiro is Edogawa-kun's cat. I like it very much."

"It's quite a coincidence that we like the same cat and came to this library together. Shall we go take a look together?"

“Okay.” Kazuma Kudo shrugged. “Mr. Amuro, what kind of books do you like? I like some history books, but…”

"My younger brother has to do his reading homework today, so I need to go check out the children's section."

Although he didn't remember the exact location where the drugs were hidden, based on the unusual books Conan noticed while doing his homework, he deduced that it must have been in the children's reading area.

Besides, going to the children's area requires going up to the second floor and taking the elevator, where you'll find old (not really) spirits... it's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

"The children's reading area?" Amuro Tooru glanced at Kudo Kazuma and smiled. "Sure, let's go take a look."

Kazuma Kudo narrowed his eyes.

That damned Bourbon! Just because he was only thirteen when they first met, does he still think of him as a child?

He was about to say something to bourbon when he heard the sound of police cars outside.

Immediately afterwards, Inspector Megure led his men in.

Upon seeing Kudo Kazuma standing with Amuro Tooru, Inspector Megure's eyes lit up: "Huh? Is that Kudo-kun?"

The sound of footsteps came from the stairs. When Inspector Megure saw Conan and the other three members of the Detective Boys coming down the stairs, he suddenly realized what was going on.

"Oh~ it's Edogawa, brother!" He strode over and slapped Kudo Kazuma on the shoulder. "Do you have any leads?"

Kazuma Kudo: "Huh?"

He was genuinely stunned for a moment before noticing a wisp of spirit at the top of the elevator, which had descended to the first floor around the same time as Conan and the others…

understood!

Kudo Kazuma immediately feigned confusion: "Inspector Megure? Has something happened? I'm here to return a book..."

"Oh! It's like this, a staff member at this library has gone missing..."

As Inspector Megure spoke, he saw four people walk out of the elevator. He said, "Follow me," and then took a photo out of his pocket and showed it to a middle-aged man who looked like a monkey.

"Hello, Director Tsugawa, is this? We are here because of your library's employee, Tamada Kazuo. According to his family, he has been missing since the night before last."

"Really?" said the curator, Tsugawa, who looked like a monkey. "So, Tamada didn't come to work yesterday, and he didn't ask for leave either."

"But according to our investigation, the last people to stay here and work overtime the night before last were Director Tsugawa and Tamada Kazuo, right?"

Kudo Kazuma first peeked at the photo and immediately understood—the soul of the person in the photo had just come down the elevator with Director Tsugawa and the others, and was now glaring angrily at Director Tsugawa.

He hadn't noticed and thought five people had gotten off the elevator, but now that the soul was semi-transparent, it seemed...

He looked down and lightly kicked Conan: "Hey, there are only four people in the elevator. You're four kids—even if Genta's an adult, there are still three kids..."

"What, is there so much space in the elevator that it can't fit all of you? Or do you just prefer the feeling of running up and down the stairs?"

Conan was taken aback upon hearing this, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly ran towards the elevator.

Ayumi then explained, "When Genta went in, the elevator indicated that it was overloaded, so we took the stairs down."

"Overweight?" Amuro Tooru stepped into the elevator Conan had opened, glanced at it, and then came out to say, "It has a capacity of 7 people and a weight limit of 450 kilograms..."

He glanced at the two men and two women who had just stepped off the elevator—none of them were fat, and apart from Director Tsugawa, the others weren't particularly tall either…

"This... doesn't seem right, does it?"

Kazuma Kudo and Conan exclaimed in unison, "That's right, the load-bearing capacity is incorrect!"

Although Genta is sturdy, he is still a child. If you consider him an adult, he is actually only the size of an adult woman.

An elevator with a capacity of 7 people and a weight limit of 450 kilograms, including five slender adults who got in, couldn't fit three first-grade children.

Are you kidding me?

Thinking back to the spirit at the top of the elevator, Kazuma Kudo remembered exactly what kind of childhood trauma he had experienced in the Library Murder case episode.

The elevator slowly ascended, and a corpse with a狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious) expression stepped up. It continued ascending, and then a murderer with a "kind" expression appeared...

Seeing that they seemed to have discovered something, Inspector Megure stopped questioning the other library staff and immediately came over to ask, "What's wrong? What problem have you found?"

Kazuma Kudo pointed to the elevator: "I think... we've found the missing employee..."

Moments later, the police officers laid Tamada Kazuo's body flat on the ground.

"Murder and concealment?" Inspector Megure scratched his head. "To hide it on the top of the elevator, it seems the killer is an insider..."

Having determined that Inspector Megure had done his best, he was now completely at a loss.

So he simply looked at his dear Edogawa brother: "Edogawa brother, can you tell who the murderer is?"

Conan's lips twitched...

In the past, at least the crime happened in person, or there were only two or three suspects. This time, the body had been left out for more than a day, and there were more than a dozen library staff. How could this brat "see" who the murderer was at a glance?

Are you kidding me?

Amuro Tooru also set his sights on Kudo Kazuma.

If Bourbon wants to investigate Danpo, of course he won't do no intelligence work.

Moreover, as Furuya Rei himself, he was also very curious about this newly emerging "Detective of the Heart," who had been portrayed by the media as somewhat unscientific.

He had read the reports about Kazuma Edogawa solving cases more than once.

and so……

How can Danpo identify the murderer?

Amid Inspector Megure's expectant gaze, Conan's speechless expression, and Amuro Tooru's curious stares, Kudo Kazuma casually pointed and said, "The culprit is the curator."

"Didn't the inspector say that the last people left the night before last were the curator and the deceased?"

Amuro Tooru raised an eyebrow. "That's it?"

Danpo isn't just making things up, is he?

Conan frowned and quickly began to observe the curator's expression. It seemed that... the curator had just been a little nervous.

"Huh?" Inspector Megure was genuinely taken aback. "Is...is that so?"

If it's that simple, it seems like he... could deduce it too, right?

Kudo Kazuma shrugged dismissively, took two steps forward, and slapped Director Tsugawa on the shoulder.

Director Tsugawa's monkey-like face twitched visibly.

He had heard of the Heart Detective's reputation...

Kudo Kazuma used the [Sound Bewitching] technique, asking in a manner that seemed to be questioning, doubting, and mocking: "Director, do you know how rare it is to have a good employee who will obediently work overtime with you?"

Do you know how difficult it is to be a conscientious and hardworking model worker?

"Even an honest employee like you could be killed... Could it be that you did something wrong that he found out, so he killed you to cover it up?"
