Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Currently, only Conan hasn't been handed in yet.

The three of them, as Conan's good friends, came to help Conan complete his book report.

Since Zhiyong had nothing to do that day, he went to the library with them.

Zhiyong led the four members of the Junior Detective Club to the Mika Library.

The children's area is on the third floor.

But when Zhiyong and the others got on the elevator...

Zhiyong smelled a corpse odor.

This is the scent emanating from a corpse that has been dead for one or two days.

After being enhanced, Zhiyong's senses became very sharp, and in addition, he was able to collect ghosts.

Zhiyong had been to some murder scenes.

Therefore, I am very familiar with this scent.

It's just a pity that the deceased has been dead for a long time, and now the ghost has completely dissipated.

Therefore, the space did not alert Zhiyong to the presence of a new ghost.

"Damn, what's going on? A case can happen in a library? Conan is defying the heavens!"

It was at this moment that Zhiyong suddenly remembered.

I do recall this case.

That was during a Conan episode, a childhood trauma.

I remember the first time I watched this case.

The curator's unnaturally dead face, combined with his red eyes, and the way the corpse slowly rose in the elevator, really terrified me at the time.

Oh, right, Zhiyong also remembers that besides murder, the librarian was also involved in drug trafficking.

The reason the curator killed someone was because the other party discovered his drug trafficking activities, so he killed them to silence them.

Zhiyong remembers that the drugs were in the children's area.

So he went with Conan and the others to the children's area on the third floor and pretended to settle the four kids in.

Wisdom and courage make good use of the functions of space.

I put one of the original foreign books that were sitting under the bookshelf next to me into my storage space.

When Zhiyong got to the restroom and saw that no one was there, he quietly opened it and found drugs inside.

After observing that no one was in the restroom, Zhiyong took out his phone and called Miwako.

I haven't helped Miwako again during this period.

Now that we've happened to be here, let's give her another chance to make a contribution.

"Zhiyong, is there something you need when you call me at this hour?" Miwako asked softly.

"What, I miss you, can't I call you?" Zhiyong said, pretending to be angry.

"Okay, I'm at work right now. If it's not important, let's talk about it when I get home tonight," Miwako replied.

Zhiyong joked, "Alright, let's get down to business. Today I took Conan and three other kids to the Mika Library. We found some original foreign books in the children's section, but strangely, the titles were upside down and covered with a plastic film. When Conan picked up one of those books, the librarian immediately stopped him."

Miwako, unsure of what Tomoyuu meant, asked, "Oh, is there anything strange about that?"

Zhiyong continued, "Now comes the important part. Since I had my suspicions, when no one was looking, I took a book to the toilet. When I opened the book, I found that the inside had been hollowed out and drugs were inside."

"What drugs? Is it really drugs?" Miwako exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it is indeed drugs. There are many books like that in that bookshelf. Although I haven't confirmed it yet, I think they should all contain drugs."

"Don't touch those things now, or someone will find out. I'm going right now."

"Don't worry, I know I won't do anything reckless."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Miwako hung up the phone and rushed over immediately.

Zhiyong waited for more than half an hour.

Miwako called and said, "I'm already at the library. Are you there?"

Zhiyong then heard the siren of a police car.

"I'm in the bathroom on the third floor. I just heard an alarm," Zhiyong asked.

“The library employee, Tamada Kazuo, has gone missing. His wife has already reported it to the police. Inspector Megure was supposed to come to the library to investigate, but I reported the situation you mentioned to him, and he asked me to investigate secretly while they openly come to the library to distract the librarian,” Miwako explained.

Chiyu didn't care about what Miwako said.

Miwako definitely needs to report this to her superiors.

Inspector Megure did not do anything wrong.

He then instructed Miwako to investigate secretly, while they openly went to the library to cover for her.

Inspector Megure was also worried about something going wrong. If there were no drugs left in the remaining ones, searching them directly might alert the suspects.

Miwako arrived on the third floor and met up with Tomoyuki.

Zhiyong took Miwako to the children's area and told her the location of the drugs.

"Do you see that person over there?" Zhiyong whispered to Meihezi.

Miwako looked at a middle-aged man not far away.

"What happened to him? Could he be the drug dealer?" Miwako asked in a low voice.

“He’s the curator here. I find him suspicious. Now that Inspector Megure is here, he’ll probably go see him. Go check on him again when he’s not here,” Zhiyong whispered.

"Don't worry, I know," Miwako said with a smile.

"I'll go to Inspector Megure first. I already know where Tamada Kazuo is. Be careful not to let Conan and the others see you, lest they find out your identity," Tomoyuki whispered to Miwako.

Miwako still trusted Chiyu, so she nodded.

She didn't go into the children's section, but instead found a book to read not far from it.

Zhiyong already knew where Yutian Kazuo was.

Although no ghost was received just now, Zhiyong knew that the body of the missing Yutian Kazuo was hidden in the elevator by the curator.

What puzzled Zhiyong was why the curator didn't dispose of his body.

There's already a faint smell of death in the elevator. If the corpse is left out for another two days in this weather, the smell of death will fill the entire library.

Of course, it's also possible that the curator is getting old and his sense of smell is failing, or that he's waiting for a deal to happen.

He had his companion dispose of the body.

When Zhiyong entered the elevator again, he frowned once more.

At that moment, the four members of the Junior Detective League also ran to the elevator.

It turned out that Conan and his friends heard the police siren and looked downstairs.

The Junior Detective League wants to get involved whenever something happens.

Conan and his friends hurriedly left the children's area and prepared to take the elevator downstairs.

Just then, Zhiyong was about to go downstairs.

As soon as the four of them entered the elevator, it immediately announced that it was overweight.

Yuan Tai counted them, and sure enough, there were more people than expected.

Now, there are nine people in the elevator, including Zhiyong, who already had five.

Seeing that there were too many people, Conan and his friends had no choice but to exit the elevator and take the stairs.

Zhiyong smiled but didn't speak, only glancing at the curator out of the corner of his eye.

……

Chapter 84 The Corpse in the Elevator

After arriving at the lobby downstairs, I got off the elevator.

Inspector Megure approached the curator, showed him his identification, and said, "This gentleman must be the curator."

The curator, slightly nervous, said, "I am the curator here, Tsugawa Hideji. May I ask what business the officer has with me?"

Inspector Megure took out a photograph and said, "The reason we are here at the library today is because of the matter concerning your library employee, Tamada Kazuo."

Upon hearing this, Director Tsugawa looked surprised and asked, "He didn't ask for leave yesterday, nor did he come to work. Did something happen to him?"

At that moment, Conan and the others ran over.

Conan asked, "Inspector Megure, what happened?"

Inspector Megure glanced at Conan but didn't say anything. He then said to Hideji Tsugawa, "It's like this, Mr. Tamada has been missing since the night before last."

Director Tsugawa exclaimed in surprise, "What? Such a thing actually happened?"

Zhiyong watched Director Jinchuan's performance.

This led him to believe that everyone capable of committing a crime also possesses the acting skills of an award-winning actor.

In the original series, Inspector Megure might have believed what Director Tsugawa said.

But now Inspector Megure has heard about the drugs from Miwako.

Therefore, Inspector Megure was very suspicious of Director Tsugawa.

Inspector Megure now believes that Tamada Kazuo may have discovered the drugs, which is why he was silenced by Director Tsugawa.

Of course, it could also be that the two had a dispute over the spoils, so Director Tsugawa killed Tamada Kazuo.

However, these are all Inspector Megure's deductions, and there is currently no evidence.

Inspector Megure is now trying to lure Director Tsugawa into investigating the drug issue so that Miwako can investigate it further.

Inspector Megure then asked, "I heard that Mr. Tamada and you were working the night shift at the library the night before last, is that right?"
