Conan’s Corpse Picker

The library at night is pitch black and there is no sound of people.

Jiang Xia routinely borrowed the ghost baby's night vision ability.

After seeing the environment clearly, he identified the direction and walked straight to the elevator.

...

In Jiang Xia's memory, there was only one case that happened in the library.

——The curator sells drugs and was discovered by one of his employees. The curator then killed the employee and hid the body on top of the elevator.

Originally, the body was well hidden.

Unexpectedly, this afternoon, Conan happened to come to the library to do homework with a few of his classmates.

Although Conan didn't know where the corpse was, he was keenly aware of the breath of the corpse.

Plus learning that there are missing employees here. He felt more and more that the missing employee might have died. Then someone hid his body in the library.

So after the library got off work, a group of children secretly stayed in the library, trying to find the staff's body.

At the same time, the curator also found out that someone in the library hadn't left through the lights.

So now, the curator is holding an iron rod, planning to find those "rats" hidden in the museum in the dark, and kill them.

...

Lobby.

Jiang Xia quickly came to the elevator and looked up at the electronic screen above.

Judging from the numbers displayed above, at this time, the elevator was stopping on the third floor.

Jiang Xia raised her hand and pressed it, arrogantly summoning the elevator down.

Although this is likely to cause noise, Jiang Xia has no intention of "not alarming the curator" unlike the few children who are desperately hiding.

On the contrary, he hoped that the curator would quickly discover the abnormality, come to him consciously, and send the ghost and shikigami together by the way.

...

While the elevator was going down, Jiang Xia walked towards the stairs beside him.

When he got to the second floor, the elevator had already stopped on the first floor.

Jiang Xia walked to the elevator door, pried open the door, and looked down.

At the top of the elevator, there was a dead body lying on its back. A length of rope was wrapped around the neck, and a small pool of blood spread beneath the back of the head, where it appeared to have been strangled before being thrown into the elevator.

There was no shikigami on the corpse's legs.

"..." I don't know if it failed to generate a ghost or if it did, but the ghost was on the curator's lap.

Jiang Xia let go of her hand in disappointment, allowing the elevator door to close again.

It seems that we have to go to the curator to get his ghost back.

...

Jiang Xia looked at the ceiling and listened to the subtle movements in the distance of the building.

He remembered that on the way home from get off work, the curator turned on the lights in the library by the brats from the Detective Boys, causing the curator to notice that there was someone in the library, and turned back with a gloomy expression.

In other words, during this time, the curator should be playing death hide-and-seek with the Boy Detective Team of "if your uncle catches you, he will strangle you to death".

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia took out her mobile phone, glanced at the elevator that would block the signal, then turned and walked towards the stairwell.

He called the Megure Police Department.

As a kind policeman who loves to take in younger brothers, the Mumu Police Department has already stuffed Jiang Xia with his personal phone number.

Calling him is more convenient than calling the operator. You don't need to leave basic information such as name and contact information, and you can directly initiate the call.

...

Metropolitan Police Department.

The Mumu Police Department is working overtime again tonight.

He's looking for the library's missing employee.

At this time, when he picked up the phone, he heard Jiang Xia say that he found a dead body in the elevator of the library. The Mumu Police Department immediately realized that what Jiang Xia said might be the target he was looking for.

...

During the day, the Mumu Police Department led a team to search the library, but failed to find the body.

At this time, when he learned that the corpse was actually on the top of the elevator, thinking that he had been in that elevator before... Mu Mu's police department silently had goosebumps all over his body.

"I'll be right there." He hurried out of the office and called several subordinates.

Suddenly he was a little puzzled again: "It's all this time, why are you in the library?...Forget it, I'll talk about this later, you leave as soon as possible! The murderer dared to hide the body in the elevator, which means that he may be from the library. The internal personnel are very familiar with the environment there, and because of guilty conscience, he is likely to continue to stay in the museum after work, you..."

"ah--!!!"

In the background sound on Jiang Xia's side, suddenly there was a vague scream of a child.

The Mumu Police Department heard it through the phone, and was stunned: "What was the sound just now? There are children in the library?!"

On the stairs, Jiang Xia's footsteps also paused slightly.

He raised his head and looked up through the gap between the stairs: "Maybe."

...

With that said, Jiang Xia quickened his pace a little.

At the same time, he did not forget the problem of the Mumu police department, and patched his behavior casually:

"I misremembered the closing time of the library. When I wanted to return the books, the library was already off work. But when I saw a room on the third floor, the light suddenly turned on for a few seconds, and the children's eyes could be vaguely seen on the floor-to-ceiling windows. The figure. I was worried that some child missed the off-duty time and was locked inside by mistake, so I broke in to check the situation..."

The Mumu Police Department is dying of anxiety: "Stop talking, if the murderer is really in the museum, this will reveal your location!"

"Well, good." Jiang Xia lowered his voice as kindly as possible, and whispered into the receiver, "Then I'll go over and have a look first, and you guys come quickly."

He hung up the phone.

"Wait..." Mu Mu Police Department wanted to remind him to pay attention to safety and pay attention to strategy...but Jiang Xia hung up too quickly.

If you call back at this time, the ringtone will be very dangerous. He could only put down his cell phone and anxiously greeted his subordinates: "Hurry up!"

The zealous detective makes his way to the ruthless murderer, who may be in danger! !

Oh, by the way, and those brats who broke into the library.

...

The top floor of the library, a little further in time.

When Jiang Xia dialed the Mumu Police Department.

Conan wiped the dust off his hands and walked down from the mechanical room.

He walked to the elevator, pushed open the elevator door, and pressed the switch next to the elevator.

Afterwards, Conan turned around and said to the three first-year students with relief: "I found the body. When we took the elevator during the day, the reason why it was overloaded was because there was an 'invisible passenger' in the elevator."

...

While talking, the elevator gradually went up.

The corpse at the top of the elevator slowly appeared in the circle of Conan's flashlight.

The other three children's faces were ashen, and they all let out a terrified scream.

Conan didn't realize that all this was too heavy for the three children.

He frowned: "It's too cruel. This person should be killed by the curator, we have to go quickly..."

The word "report" has not been uttered yet.

A light suddenly rose from the bottom of his feet.

——After the elevator picked up the corpse, it continued to go up, gradually revealing the bright elevator car below.

There stood a man full of killing intent.

The elevator doors were now wide open. As the elevator went up, the head of curator Jin Chuan appeared in front of the children, then the neck and body... The curator stood in the elevator car, holding a metal water pipe, grinning sinisterly.

Conan's heart tightened, and he turned his head and gave a few words to the children quickly.

Later, when Director Jinchuan got off the elevator, Conan used reasoning such as "possessing drugs" and "killing staff" to distract Director Jinchuan's attention.

The other three children took the opportunity to slip into the elevator and press the floor button for the first floor.

The elevator began to descend slowly.

When the elevator went down more than halfway, and the elevator car overlapped with this floor by less than half a meter, Conan passed the curator's crotch with a sliding shovel, and slipped into the elevator narrowly.
