"Hello, we're detectives from Beika Police Station. We're investigating a case and hope you'll cooperate." Jiren flashed his police ID and explained why they were there.

The employee quickly agreed, though she apparently didn't recognize Jiren. Clearly, Morohoshi hadn't told her coworkers about her blind date with him. Morohoshi didn't seem like the type to mingle with colleagues, complain together, and share personal matters.

Still, as an employee of Beika Library, she naturally cooperated fully with the police. She even seemed a little frightened—after all, there had been a body hidden in an elevator here not long ago.

"Um... where do you need to search?" the employee asked worriedly.

"No, no, no. We just need to see the borrowing records, especially the ones that are overdue," Jiren immediately corrected her.

With her cooperation, Jiren successfully found the borrowing records for The Shadow in the Fire at the library.

Though it was written by a famous author, it was an old book. The library only had eight copies, and the borrowing information took up barely a page.

After looking through it, Jiren's eyes suddenly lit up. "This should be enough to catch that person!"

After checking the records, Jiren asked Chiyo's coworker about Morohoshi Chiyo, but the employee said she wasn't familiar with her.

"You've worked together for quite a while. You should know something about her, right?" Jiren asked curiously.

"Well..." The female employee looked troubled. "Miss Morohoshi is older than all of us. She's quiet and doesn't like talking. Other than handing over work, hardly anyone interacts with her."

"That sounds so lonely." Jiren covered his mouth, his expression complicated, looking emotional enough to cry.

"Sorry, then do you know if she has any hobbies?" Jiren asked reluctantly.

Amaki looked speechless. He knew this guy wouldn't give up so
