Be the god of death in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 147

"Conan, you run too fast, wait for us!"

Ayumi was wearing a plush little dress, sweating from the abundant heating in the library, she raised her hand to wipe her forehead.

"Did you run down from the children's library?" Bai Shu took out a tissue and handed it to her. "On such a high floor, just take the elevator. If you can't press the buttons, you can ask the adults next to you for help."

"We can do it!" Yuan Tai started to care about height at a young age, patted his chest, and explained to himself:

"It's because it's overloaded. That elevator can only carry 7 people. After we got in, there were 8 people. There was one more—hmph, the elevator is so small in such a big library."

"Don't be noisy, this is a public place." Mumu Police Department made a silent gesture to appease the children, while unexpectedly answering Conan's question just now:

"Because it is said that Mr. Yutian is a very dedicated person. If he can't finish his get off work, he often stays to work overtime on his own initiative. Therefore, before leaving work every day, he will call his wife in the library so that she can prepare dinner.

"But the night before yesterday, he didn't make a call, and he has been missing until today. That is to say, he probably had an accident before he got off work."

"It's... an accident?"

The elementary school students who had seen the murder case were different from other elementary school students. They easily understood what this "accident" probably meant, looked at each other, and became quieter.

Conan mingled with the children, frowning and rubbing his chin, using extremely limited clues, thinking about what would happen.

After all, Jin Chuan is the director of the curator, and he has a lot of things to do. After standing with him for a while, he was called away by the staff.

Bai Shu took the opportunity to get close to Mumu's police department, hesitating to speak, this appearance successfully attracted Mumu's attention, "What's the matter?"

"I think the elevator should be checked first."

The children's desire to die is like weeds on the plain, and they can't be burned cleanly - in order to prevent the bonus from being deducted, the easiest way is to get rid of the danger in advance.

The Mumu Police Department followed his gaze and looked at the elevator in the corridor. The elevator was obviously running, and people came in and out of it from time to time. He was a little speechless, "... there can't be anyone hiding in there."

"I mean, the top of the elevator." Bai Shu pointed to the top of his head:
"Didn't Mrs. Yuan say just now that they were overloaded when they took the elevator, and there was one more person, so they had to run down the stairs?"

"He said it.", Mu Mu was still confused, "But what does this have to do with hiding people in the elevator?"

There was a sudden slap on the side, and Conan punched his palm, and with a look of sudden realization, he shouted to Mu Mu, "Quick, go to the mechanical room that controls the elevator!"

"Oh, good!", Mu Mu ran out subconsciously, after a few steps, he realized something was wrong, and stopped in embarrassment.

What's going on, why should I listen to a child like this!
Seeing that he was not moving, Conan considered that he might be stopped by the staff in the past, so he had to stop and explain to him:

"Although the passenger limit of that elevator is 7 people, we have four children, and the other passengers are all slender people. This combination, even if there are 8 people, it will not be overloaded!"

"That is to say, the extra weight..." After explaining to this point, the Mumu Police Department finally understood, and was startled by this bold guess.

He looked serious, patted the shoulder of Bai Shu who first proposed this idea, and gave him a deep look with a look of "you are indeed a talent".

Then he summoned a few police officers, went to the mechanical room of the library, and switched the switch of the elevator to manual mode.

Afterwards, the police officers forcefully opened the elevator door, revealing steel cables and some complicated machinery behind the door.

Under the control of the mechanical room, with a slight friction sound, the cable pulled the elevator up, and a dead body with protruding eyeballs and a gaping mouth appeared in front of everyone on top of the elevator.

Although the deceased had a ferocious face, with corpse spots and slight decay, after comparing his features, he could still recognize that this was the missing Yutian Kazuo.

There were several loops of rope wrapped around his neck, and a bloodstain spread out on the back of his head. It seemed that he was strangled to death and then pushed down the elevator—this was a very hasty murder scene, and the prisoner must have left a lot of evidence.

As the librarian and the person who ended up working overtime with the deceased, Jin Chuan undoubtedly attracted the attention of the police.

He couldn't provide sufficient alibi, and his behavior and tone were a bit suspicious. A few hours later, the forensics department gave many clues that were not good for him.

At the same time, the police found drugs from the plastic-covered books in the library. Jin Chuan had no choice but to admit that Yutian Kazuo was silenced because of the discovery of drugs.

As he was taken away by the police, the murder case ended.

It was already dark when the police left with Jin Chuan and the body.

Bai Shu led a group of children who had been holding on to them just now, and was about to send them home.

On the way, Conan rested his hands behind his head, looked at the street lamp with unfinished thoughts, and said with emotion, "This case was solved too quickly."

Bai Shu heard the regret hidden in his words, and looked at him with great disgust, "Otherwise? Wait for the police to return without success, and you children will fight wits and courage with the murderer? I'm not exaggerating——Curator Jin Chuan A stick down, can knock your head off."

Yuan Tai patted her fleshy body unhappily, "Nonsense, I'm very strong!"

Mitsuhiko glanced at Yuantai disapprovingly, and seriously argued with Baishu, "We will defeat him with our brains."

"Yeah!" Ayumi nodded.

"...", Conan looked away uncomfortably.

He really thought that if the police couldn't find anyone, he would hide in secret and look for the corpse at night when there was no one around. "...If you don't study psychology, you're really burying talents."

"I've been studying on my own." Bai Shu pointed out the book in his hand, it was a very common and unprofessional "Criminal Psychology".

He borrowed this when he was waiting for someone just now, but he didn't read it, he was just making excuses for coming to the library—it can't be said that he had a premonition of a murder case, so he ran here specially.

"Wow, it seems very powerful, I want to read it too!" Ayumi and Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up, and they leaned over to read the book with great interest.

Bai Shu patted their heads, "Come on, learn Chinese characters, you can read them by yourself after learning Chinese characters."

"it is good!"

……

Finally, after sending Ayumi home, Conan waved to Ayumi who entered the door, "Goodbye."

Ayumi looked at him, stunned for a few seconds, and then waved, "... goodbye?"

On the way back to the Maori Detective Agency, Bai Shu looked down at him, "You said 'goodbye' like 'farewell', don't scare the kids."

Conan let out a sigh of relief and laughed, "It is indeed a farewell. Today's case is also the last case I will experience as 'Edogawa Conan'."

After drinking that bottle of wine, he will be able to restore Kudo Shinichi's identity!

It wasn't until this time that Conan realized that having an insider beside him was really helpful: not only practical help, but also conducive to the release of psychological pressure.

But unfortunately, I discovered this a bit late, and immediately, this experience that I just summed up was useless.

……

After returning home, Baishu helped Conan take down the bottle of wine that Xiaolan put on a high place, and handed it to him.

Conan hugged the wine bottle with one hand, stretched out the other hand, and shook him twice in a dignified manner, "Thank you for your care during this period, and we will be together when we meet next time."

"...Okay." Well, as long as you are happy.

Conan left with the bottle refreshed and hid at the doctor's house for a drink.

There was the sound of a pot being boiled in the kitchen. Xiaolan put the pot away, wiped her hands and came out, "Brother Zhishu, you are back, the meal is almost ready... Where is Conan?"

Bai Shu lied without any fluctuation in his heart, "He went to the doctor's house to play, and I heard that the doctor made some new toys."

"This kid is really playful." Xiao Lan shook her head, then turned and went back to the kitchen.
