Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 9 The unexpected person
Tachibana Shizuka had never smelled the stench of a corpse, but the combination of the library and the stench of unknown origin coming from the elevator was enough to make him remember something.

For example, the library murder incident, one of the childhood shadows, and the slowly rising elevator and the corpse that slowly appeared on the top of the elevator.

Another example is the librarian who gradually reveals his entire face.

Perhaps the plot of "Detective Conan" became increasingly sloppy and difficult to remember in the later period, but these classic cases in the early period are still deeply engraved in Shizue Tachibana's mind.

After being reminded by Tachibana Seiji, Xiaolan did recall that there was indeed some unpleasant smell in the elevator.

It was just because the elevator was running so fast that Xiaolan ignored it.

Neither Tachibana Shizuka nor Ran were particularly curious. They walked to the elevator and saw quite a few people waiting in line, so they decided to walk downstairs.

As for the strange smell in the elevator, Tachibana Seiji mentioned it to the staff when he was about to leave the library.

That's right, after careful consideration, Tachibana Shizuka gave up the idea of ​​using a bug in this three-choice game.

The reason is very simple. It all comes down to the identity of the librarian.

If this librarian was just an ordinary murderer, Tachibana Seiji would have no fear at all, because Xiaolan was by his side, and even a murderer like that could be beaten without a second thought.

But besides being a murderer, Tachibana Shizuka clearly remembered that he was also a "drug dealer." This identity was what really scared Tachibana Shizuka.

As we all know, drug dealers are a bunch of heartless bastards who have no future.

So it is natural for these bastards to have guns in their hands, and it is not impossible to get a few guns in Beika Town.

Although Xiaolan can dodge pistol bullets, this skill is a life-saving trick that should not be used easily unless it is absolutely necessary.

You can't just go into the excitement of facing bullets every now and then just because you can dodge bullets, right?
When you are in a position, you should do your job. Let the police from the Metropolitan Police Department and the detectives from Beihua take care of building a harmonious Beihua.

Now Tachibana Shizuka just wants to live his life in peace and stability. If he has cheats, then he should learn the skills of the Ten-mile Sword God, right?

Unless you have mastered the magical skills, you will never go out and have fun.

Of course, drug dealers were to be punished, so Tachibana Shizuka was about to leave when he anonymously called the police. Since the body and the drugs were in the library anyway, he decided to just pretend to be Santa Claus and give this year's Christmas presents to everyone in Investigation Section 1 in advance.

By the way, you can also get a small guaranteed prize by choosing one of the three lucky numbers.

Isn't this a happy ending for everyone?
Just when Tachibana Shizuka had planned everything and was preparing to trick Xiaolan into having dinner together in the evening, the two were surprised to see this scene outside the library.

"Mr. Maori, if I'm not mistaken, that should be Conan, right?" Tachibana Shizuka finally broke the silence as he looked at the group of one big and four small children not far away.

Xiaolan could only nod awkwardly when she saw this: "Yes, it's Conan and the others."

The reason why Xiaolan was embarrassed was very simple, because Xiaolan happened to know this group of one big and four small people, or had seen them before.

There is no need to explain the combination of the four little ones. It is obviously the four of them in the Young Suicide Squad, or the main character Conan and his supporting characters.

As for the big one, it was clearly the haggard woman they had met in the elevator this morning.

A simple acquaintance obviously wouldn't make Xiaolan so embarrassed. It was the sneaky look of this group of four at the moment that made them look like they were not good people.

The "gang," led by three elementary school students, was currently hiding in a street corner, furtively observing the nearby Beika Library. Conan was clearly unable to stop his companions' absurd behavior, and as for the haggard adult...
If she can even play around with a group of elementary school students, what else can you expect from her?

But then again, who would be willing to play around with a bunch of elementary school students unless they were really desperate?

Mostly they are just desperate.

"Let's go, let's go say hello. It's really not very polite to do this." Tachibana Seiji touched Xiaolan's arm to break her embarrassment, and then took the lead and walked towards the group of one, large and four small.

"What are you doing?" Tachibana Shizuka's voice suddenly sounded from behind the little ghosts.

Even though it was just a common inquiry, it still scared everyone subconsciously.

Especially Conan.

This kind of "killing from behind" always reminds Conan of the wonderful moment when he was hit by a club in Dorobiga Paradise.

When they turned around, they saw Shizuka Tachibana with a confused look on his face and Ran standing behind him with a frown on her face.

Just when the haggard woman looked embarrassed and didn't know how to explain, and Conan hesitated to give an explanation, the three elementary school students completely forgot the "heavy blow" that Tachibana Shizuka had given them in the morning, and they started talking one after another about why they were here.

Children don't hold grudges.

After listening to the three children's illogical descriptions, Tachibana Seiji made a simple summary.

"That is to say, when you were leaving the library, you happened to meet the distraught Ms. Yutian at the door.

Then Conan felt that something was not right with Ms. Yutian, so he approached her to talk to her, and that triggered a temporary mission? "

Tachibana Shizuka's concise narration made the three elementary school students nod their heads repeatedly. You must admit that this is really the fact.

Although it was only Conan who "triggered the mission", they were a team, and the three elementary school students directly forced Conan to share the mission.

"OK, your problem is solved. Next is Ms. Yutian. You said your husband has been here since he got off work last night." Tachibana Shizuka said, checking the time.
"He's been missing for almost 24 hours now. Ms. Yutian, are you sure your husband is truly missing and not just going off somewhere on his own?

For example, a drinking party with an old friend you haven't seen for a long time, or a night fishing trip that was very enjoyable but yielded little results.

Or maybe some woman's home?"

Ms. Tamada seemed a little excited when she heard what Tachibana Shizuka said, but she forced herself to calm down.

Although this high school student asked directly, he was one of the few people who was willing to ask about his situation.

Besides, high school students always seem to be much more reliable than elementary school students, right?
"No, my husband and I love each other very much. He calls me every day when he gets off work, and he will call me even if he has something urgent to do at night.

A situation like this has never happened since we got married, or rather, since we started dating.

I was sure my husband was in some trouble."

　Oh my god, the timer was set for tomorrow. Luckily I took a look.
