Chapter 28 I Haven't Left Yet

Originally, Shiraishi planned to take the child outside the building and let him go, and then he would keep an eye on the library to prevent Director Tsugawa from running away, and wait for the Megure Police Department to arrive.

However, when he returned to the first floor, he found that the door was locked firmly, and Director Jinchuan was quite alert.

The first floor here is equipped with anti-theft windows. As for the second floor... the second floor of the library is much higher than the normal second floor. If you are unlucky, you may jump to your death on the spot.

Among the details of the mission to save the naughty child, there is a map with the real-time location of Director Tsukawa.

After taking a look at the coordinates and realizing that Jinchuan was still on the third floor, Shiraishi thought of something and rushed the children into the duty room next to the gate on the first floor.

It is said to be a duty room, but perhaps out of fear of others discovering the secret, Director Jinchuan did not arrange for staff to be on duty.

This is a suite. After entering, Shiraishi rummaged through the drawers in the outer room and successfully found the key.

After taking another look at the inner room of the duty room and finding that there were no windows and no dangerous items, Shiraishi asked the three little boys to go inside and wait.

To be on the safe side, he left Yoshida Ayumi on the sofa outside, and calmly recited the lines from the police movie: "Stay inside and don't move, don't turn on the lights, don't touch anything, otherwise you will be killed."

Let her collect the body."

The destructive power of four naughty children is too strong. Keeping one as a hostage can limit it a little.

Anyway, they won't listen to reason, so they can only communicate in the most effective way. Now it seems that the communication efficiency is very pleasant - at least just now, they followed me downstairs honestly.

Of course, the other children were not happy.

"Can I go into the back room together?" Yoshida Ayumi wiped her tears and protested tremblingly. Staying next to this bad guy is dangerous no matter what you think...

Conan also felt something was wrong. In his opinion, the sudden appearance of Shiraishi was probably an accomplice of Director Tsugawa.

But he really couldn't figure out Shiraishi's intention - was he planning to kill them one by one? Or was he a part-time kidnapper and wanted a ransom from their family? As a bad guy, it's not surprising that he would do anything...

The more he thought about it, the less he dared to let Ayumi Yoshida stay outside alone.

Conan pretended to be innocent: "Uncle, why don't you let her in and let me stay? I..." He looked at the teapot next to him, "I can still make tea for you, but she will only cry."

"..." The beauty you think of is the most destructive.

Shiraishi grabbed the pencil sharpener from the pen holder, slid it out with a click, and gestured towards Ayumi's neck: "Go in, right away."

The four children turned pale and were forced to separate.

After Conan and the others entered the door, Shiraishi found the key and locked the inner door - this kind of door can only be opened with the key after it is locked.

Shiraishi locked the door to the outside again, and then, under the horrified gaze of Yoshida Ayumi, he made a silent gesture towards her, extinguished the flashlight on his anesthesia watch, and waited for the police to arrive.

In the meantime, Shiraishi glanced at the screen and found that the light spot representing Jinchuan was still on the third floor.

After all, the library director had a guilty conscience and did not dare to turn on the lights for fear of attracting the attention of passers-by. Since the library was not small in size and had many bookshelves, and there were countless hiding places in every room, his search progress was very slow.



Conan, Genta, and Mitsuhiko sat on the bed in the back room, racking their brains to think of countermeasures.

There were no windows and it was pitch dark. They could see nothing and couldn't find any useful tools.

At the end of the discussion, Mitsuhiko and Genta were almost crying. If you ask them how they feel now, it would be regret, very regret.

Conan had no choice for the time being. He hesitated for a moment, walked to the door, and leaned against the door to eavesdrop on what was going on outside.

A few minutes passed, and it was still quiet outside. Only the occasional sobs of Ayumi Yoshida could be heard.

And judging from the brightness of the crack in the door, the light source on the watch has also been extinguished.

Recalling the series of sounds of closing windows and locking doors, Conan felt happy.

—— Could it be that the man in black had other things to do and had left early, leaving Ayumi Yoshida outside just to restrict the four of them separately?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that he thought it was possible. He tentatively called out in a low voice: "Bumi."

Yoshida Ayumi subconsciously responded, then suddenly remembered that this might make Shiraishi unhappy, so she covered her mouth in panic.

Only her voice was heard, which made Conan feel that his guess was correct.

He wanted You Mei to look for the key and try to save himself: "That person may have left, you..."

"...Ah!" He was answered by Ayumi Yoshida's half-exclamation.

Shiraishi pushed the running little girl back to the sofa in a subtle mood. When Conan first became Conan, he was too capable of seeking death:

"I told you to kill her if you speak out."

With these words, Shiraishi pushed out the utility knife again.

In the clicking sound effect, Yoshida Ayumi was so frightened that she almost left her body. She stammered: "Don't, don't kill me, I won't run around anymore!"

Conan's heart also thumped: "I'm sorry, I won't speak anymore, please calm down!"

Genta and Mitsuhiko in the room both showed expressions of condemnation. Genta Kojima wanted to hit Conan's head hard, but there was no one in sight, so he had to retract his hand angrily: "No one is allowed to say anything!"

Conan didn't care about the reactions of the two classmates, he was just very confused.

The hand indicates that there is still power, so why doesn’t the man in black turn on the light? What is his purpose? Is he trying to delay time so that the curator can move the body?

Speaking of which, where was the body hidden...

After staying in the darkness for seven to eight minutes, a wailing siren sounded.

Shiraishi glanced at the library door, then picked up the landline on his desk and informed Megure that the body was on the elevator in the library, and that there was a large amount of drugs hidden in the library.

When the Memu Police Department asked where the others were, Shiraishi said the duty room on the first floor and then hung up the phone.

Through the gap in the curtains, one could see that the police had opened the door to the first floor. Shiraishi looked at the screen again and saw that both tasks had been completed.

You can run away now.

Shiraishi returned to the sofa, thrust Conan's watch and the key to the guard room into Yoshida Ayumi's hand, quietly removed the mask, and returned to his true form.

The Megure Police Department quickly found the duty room. After breaking in, they turned on the lights and saw Ayumi Yoshida with red eyes. Then they followed the knocking on the door and found three children from inside.

Although they also tried to find the mysterious alarm caller, there was no sign of him in the library at all. After searching to no avail, the Megure Police Department had to give up temporarily and concentrate on dealing with Director Tsukawa's matter.
