"What?!? You said the body was on the elevator!?"
Back to the police, Officer Megure was about to tell his men to leave and look for Mr. Tian Yu elsewhere, but Tang Ze dropped a bomb on him.
"Well, I smelled a stench of corpse and blood when I was in the elevator. I'm afraid Mr. Tian Yu has been murdered."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Megure immediately wanted to get out of the car and return to the library to look for the body, but was stopped by Tang Ze who had anticipated this. "Officer Megure, if you go there now, you'll only find the body and it will alert the enemy!"
"Do you know who the criminal is?" Inspector Megure calmed down after hearing this and asked immediately.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, the culprit is the curator." Tang Ze looked at Inspector Megure and said, "But if we find the body now, it will only make him wary, and it will be much more difficult to arrest him."
"Are you trying to lure the snake out of its hole?" Inspector Megure immediately understood Tang Ze's intention.
Hiding a corpse in an elevator is not a safe place. As time goes by, the corpse will rot and stink. If it is not moved, it will be discovered sooner or later. So you just need to stake out and catch the person red-handed.
This is more convincing than any evidence, and the same is true of Tang Ze's choice to lie in wait rather than break through head-on.
The other party has been missing for nearly 36 hours, and all traces that should be eliminated have been absolutely wiped out.
The library is a public place with people coming and going, and the other party is the librarian. Even if there are evidence such as fingerprints and hair at the crime scene, it cannot prove that the other party is the murderer.
The same goes for the anesthetics. He could easily deny it by saying he didn't know about it, so catching him red-handed is the best option.
And as a childhood trauma, Tang Ze remembered very clearly that the other party would come back here at night to get anesthetics and make a confession to himself.
Let the entire Junior Detective League witness it, and then make Conan convinced that the body was in the library, so that he could find the body in the elevator.
Cheating is so cool!
However, this deep impression came from the shadow of childhood, and now the shadow of childhood really happened around him, which made Tang Ze feel inexplicably indescribable.
After some explanation, Inspector Megure pondered for a moment and finally agreed to Tang Ze's plan.
"I'll only give you one night. If you can't catch him tonight, I'll arrest him as a suspect tomorrow morning!"
Officer Megure said solemnly, "We can't leave Mr. Tian Yu's body lying in the elevator like this. This is against the rules!"
"Don't worry, he will definitely take the bait tonight." Tang Ze smiled and said, "And even if it doesn't work, I still have other ways. After all, that guy has other secrets."
"Another secret?"
When Inspector Megure heard what Karasawa said, his eyes narrowed, and then his brows relaxed.
…………
As time passed, night slowly fell and Tokyo was illuminated by bustling lights.
After a busy day, people start to squander the only time they have at their disposal at night to relieve stress.
The Mika Library had closed early, and all the lights in the room had been turned off, leaving it pitch black.
Just when Inspector Megure was anxiously about to ask a question, the elevator stopped directly in the library on the second floor.
"bite!"
The elevator door opened, and the light inside illuminated the somewhat terrifying face of Director Jinchuan.
He pushed open the door of the second-floor library, walked to the cabinet where imported books were placed, and took out a sealed book cover.
"That loser Yutian...if he hadn't discovered what's in here, he wouldn't have died." Curator Jinchuan sneered disdainfully, his hands moving non-stop as he took out a cardboard box. "The police are just so-so, they just looked around and went back!
No one would have thought that Yutian is actually still sleeping in the library."
“Hehehe….hahahahahahaha!!!”
As Director Jinchuan spoke, he could no longer suppress his laughter and burst into laughter in the dark and empty library.
“Snap! Snap!”
Crisp applause suddenly rang out, and the crazy laughter suddenly stopped like a duck with its neck strangled. Curator Jinchuan turned his head with a ferocious expression and looked directly at the source of the sound, with scarlet murderous intent emerging in his eyes.
"Oh, thank you so much! Your confession and explanation really helped us a lot. We don't even need to interrogate you anymore." Tang Ze chuckled and walked out. "Then please come with us."
As he spoke, Tang Ze showed the recorder in his hand, pressed the play button and replayed the director Jinchuan's proud confession.
"Yeah, yeah, you're so proud of yourself. I'm really sorry that our police force was so careless."
Tang Ze looked at Director Jinchuan and smiled sarcastically, "I just set a trap and let you fall into it."
"What the hell are you doing!!!" Director Jinchuan was enraged by Tang Ze's words and rushed up with a crazy look on his face.
"Behave yourself!!!"
The next moment, Director Jinchuan, who had just rushed out of the library, was violently suppressed to the ground by several big men. Soon he was pressed to the bottom by the big men and could not move.
"You killed Mr. Yutian just for these things, right?" Tang Ze took out a book cover from the box. When he opened it, there was no book inside, but anesthetic.
"Search! Don't miss any place where books are hidden, especially imported books. Check them one by one!!" Inspector Megure's face became solemn when he saw what was hidden inside, and he immediately gave the order.
The museum director Jinchuan was arrested by the police and taken away in a police car.
Then the two of them came to the elevator. A police officer had already adjusted the elevator to manual mode. Officers Karasawa and Megure cooperated to open the elevator door, revealing the elevator track.
As the elevator rose, Mr. Tamada's body lay quietly on the ceiling.
You can see that there is a rope around the neck of the corpse, and there is a large amount of blood splattered on its head. It seems that it was strangled to death and then thrown directly onto the ceiling of the elevator.
After some finishing touches, the anesthetics hidden on the bookshelf and Mr. Yutian's body were all dealt with, and the case finally came to an end.
"Thanks to you, Tang Ze-kun this time." Inspector Megure patted Tang Ze's shoulder with satisfaction, "Your nose really made a great contribution."
"Really? It's amazing, like a superpower." Sato Miwako agreed, "Much better than a police dog."
"Um... Mr. Sato, although I know you are praising me, it always feels like you are scolding me when you say that." Tang Ze said helplessly.
"I don't mean that. I'm just praising you!" Sato Miwako said with a smile.
"Hey, I understand~"
Tang Ze responded helplessly, and for a moment the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
