Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 227 The best way to fight fear is to face it

"Bang!"

Director Jinchuan knocked the bookshelf so hard that it shook, and he fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, unable to get up for a long time.

"You've ruined your body with drug abuse, and you're going to imitate others and fight?"

While mocking, Lin Xiuyi took the opportunity to throw all the remaining disguise books out of the window.

"You little brat, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

Director Jinchuan finally stood up, his hair disheveled in front of his forehead, and he pounced on Lin Xiuyi again with a ferocious expression.

"The psychological trauma of my childhood turned out to be caused by a drug addict like you. It's really ridiculous now." A trace of disgust flashed in Lin Xiu's eyes, and then he raised his leg and tripped Director Jinchuan to the ground.

Without waiting for Director Jinchuan to stand up again, Lin Xiuyi picked up a thick book next to him and hit Director Jinchuan on the head with the spine of the book.

There was a dull thud, and the guy fainted without a word, his eyes rolled back.

Lin Xiuyi covered his mouth and nose. The air was filled with pungent smoke and a burnt smell that made his eyes hurt.

He frowned, reached out and grabbed Director Jinchuan's collar, and dragged him out with force.

During this time of delay, the fire in the library had grown bigger and bigger. The raging flames were like a huge fire snake, madly devouring everything around it.

As soon as Lin Xiuyi walked out of the children's book and newspaper area, he was forced back by the raging flames and thick smoke in the corridor.

What's worse is that many books in the children's book and newspaper area have also caught fire, and it is obviously impossible to escape through the stairs.

Lin Xiuyi could only drag Director Jinchuan back to the window. A trace of anxiety and helplessness flashed in his eyes. Now the only way to escape was to jump out of the window.

Fortunately, this is the third floor, so it should be fine if you are careful.

Lin Xiuyi first smashed the glass completely with a book, then he grabbed Director Jinchuan and put his legs outward against the window.

"Good luck, Mr. Curator!"

After saying that, he used both hands to push the man down.

A moment later, Director Jinchuan's howling, like a pig being slaughtered, was heard downstairs. The sound echoed in front of the burning library, and it seemed particularly shrill.

Lin Xiu leaned over to take a look and saw that the guy was slumped on the ground with one of his legs twisted and deformed. Blood was slowly flowing out of the wound. Although he was injured, his life should be saved.

Having already called the police, Hibiki Eri returned to the library because she was worried about Hayashi Shuichi.

After seeing Director Jinchuan with a broken leg, the girl's face turned pale with fright.

Then she saw Hayashi Xiuyi who was still trapped on the third floor. After seeing that the children's books and newspapers area where he was was also on fire, Kisaki Eri was so anxious that tears suddenly burst out of her eyes. She shouted in a trembling voice: "Xiuyi, what should I do..."

While she was still worried, Lin Xiuyi had already climbed out of the broken window on the third floor. If he jumped directly from the third floor, he would break his leg just like Director Jinchuan.

Lin Xiuyi didn't want to become disabled just because he caught a drug dealer.

Standing by the window, he looked around. Next to him was the drainpipe of the building. The gray pipe was particularly conspicuous under the light of the fire.

Seeing that the fire in the house was getting more and more intense and the flames had already jumped to the window, Lin Xiuyi didn't have time to think, so he jumped up and hugged the drainpipe, then crossed his legs to block the pipe and slowly slid down.

After returning to the ground, before Lin Xiuyi could even breathe a sigh of relief, Kisaki Eri had already run over and threw herself into his arms.

"I'm fine, aren't I?" Lin Xiuyi patted the girl's back and comforted her softly.

Kisaki Eri's body trembled slightly, and her hands tightly hugged Lin Shuichi's waist.

"The fire was so big just now, I was really scared..." The girl's eyes were red, and she hit him with a look of resentment and heartache, "You always make me worry like this."

"Alright, quickly collect the disguised books on the ground. These are important evidence," Lin Xiuyi said. "If someone steals the drugs inside, we'll be in big trouble."

"The fire was so big, everyone was just trying to escape. No one would think of picking up books from the ground."

While complaining, Kisaki Eri helped Hayashi Shuichi collect all the camouflage books scattered on the ground.

Ten minutes later, fire trucks and Metropolitan Police officers arrived at the same time.

At this time, all five floors of the library were on fire. Fire trucks rushed to put out the fire, and a group of police officers surrounded Lin Xiuyi and others, as well as Director Jinchuan who was lying on the ground crying.

Because the reason why Kisaki Eri called the police was that drugs were found and someone deliberately set fire to the library, it was not Inspector Samezaki and his men who came, but Officer Yuminaga from the Arson Investigation Team of the First Investigation Division and the Fifth Section of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department, which is responsible for drug trafficking cases.

The latter did not know Lin Xiuyi and immediately regarded him as a suspect and wanted to arrest him.

It was Officer Gong Chang who quickly stopped them: "Don't mess around, he's one of us too."

After blocking the countermeasures team, Officer Gong Chang looked at the blazing library and said with a headache, "Lin Jun, what's going on? Which bastard dared to set fire to the library?"

"That's the guy," Lin Xiuyi kicked the wailing Director Jinchuan on the ground, then opened the disguised book on the ground and threw the bag of drugs inside into the hands of the countermeasures officer. "This guy is a drug dealer. He hid the drugs in disguised books like this and put them in the children's books and newspapers section on the third floor of the library."

"After I discovered it, this guy set fire to the library in order to destroy the evidence and burn all the drugs."

Officer Kinoshita, who led the Countermeasures Department's Fifth Section, opened the bag and examined it. A look of surprise immediately crossed his face. "Yes, it's indeed drugs. The suspect from Tsukikage Island who was handed over by Investigation Section 1 mentioned dealing drugs near the Beika Library. We thought it was just a drug dealer's trick, but we didn't expect his hideout to be right there."

"The criminals on Yueying Island were also captured by this Mr. Lin. He is the investigative consultant of our Investigation Division 1," Officer Gong Chang put his arm around Lin Xiuyi's shoulders and patted him hard, with a proud look on his face, as if he was honored.

"There are at least several kilograms of drugs on the ground. It's all thanks to you, Mr. Lin." Officer Kinoshita's face was full of excitement. This was a great feat that he had picked up for free!
The police officers from the Countermeasures Department began to search the camouflage books on the ground. Officer Yumignaga also ordered his officers to detain Director Jinchuan and prepare to send him to the hospital for treatment after the ambulance arrived.

The Rice Flower Library was set on fire, but it's big news!
Reporters and media outlets who received the news quickly swarmed over and, after a few inquiries, figured out the entire story...
