"Why are you arresting me! It's not the same as saying yes! ”

When the restless monkey demon brought back by Banqing woke up, she immediately began to "dance and sing" very cooperatively, although she soon realized that this was not an occasion to talk casually.

Because several old monsters, plus the caretakers of the monsters, are staring at her like monkeys in a zoo, speaking of which, she is a monkey herself.

"Hmm, what are you going to do?"

"It doesn't do anything, so you don't need to worry too much."

Seeing that the noisy little monkey had become honest, Banqing patted Nangong on the shoulder and whispered, "Don't talk about it all yet, just ask her about it." ”

"Understood."

Nangong nodded, although the other party could understand faster by saying it all at once, but now there is no need for this at all. After all, from Banqing's words, Nangong also learned about the sinister relationship between these monkey demons and the dragon clan, and it was very bad to reveal the truth here.

Moreover, now that he is in the position of interrogation, there is no need to be inferior.

Originally, she cleared her suspicion in a very radical way, and Yi Xian, who was supposed to leave, didn't know when she would come back to "watch the battle", and the same as her, another suspicious guy, Bermuda, leaned against the wall with the same evil smile as ever. With her practical ability, she can directly get the clues she wants without any interrogation, but Bermuda's smile and her unpredictable personality, and her sometimes good and sometimes bad stance make all her actions so untrustworthy.

I always feel ...... Such a Bermuda is a bit of a pity. The Ten Jade Chiefs, who were obviously familiar with her, did they think the same way?

"Hoo ......"

In order to live up to Banqing and Shiyu's expectations, after taking a deep breath, Nangong, who adjusted his state to the best, looked at the monkey demon who noticed something strange and obviously began to retreat.

It was already the evening of the second day, and considering that Long Er was just a baby, they were not allowed to delay too much at all. So......

"I remember that your number in the Monkey Mountain is No. 5, so Miss No. 5 Monkey Demon, where did you go after you left the annex that day?"

Except for Bermuda, who most of them already knew the answer, the eyes of the rest of the people were focused on No. 5's body in an instant, although he couldn't experience it himself, but Nangong also understood that the feeling of being targeted by a group of tigers would definitely not be so wonderful.

"Went to ...... I'll go straight back to Monkey Mountain! ”

Lied!

Because of the incomparably focused relationship, Nangong also noticed the pause in the fifth word. Of course, this is also due to the rest of the people present, under such tremendous pressure, any hesitation or pause on the part of the interrogated party can be infinitely magnified.

"Banqing wait, it's not over yet."

Nangong stretched out his hand to stop Banqing, and tried his best to think about the reason why No. 5 was lying.

Because she was found in Monkey Mountain, her lies are not so much outright nonsense as they hide part of the truth. First of all, her words turned out to be right, No. 5 returned to Monkey Mountain, but the 'direct' before this is probably the problem.

Where did she go in between going back? And what did you do? Although it is a self-inflicted speculation, a youkai of the level of No. 5 should not be able to beat the well-trained maid who is in charge of guarding the annex. This is also the reason why Bermuda and Yixian are suspicious, because they have the strength and opportunity, and they are not just opportunistic.

"Hmm, did you just go back?" Nangong nodded, "Then who can prove it to you, for example, I saw the monster you went back to?" ”

"See...... Isn't that you!? ”

I don't know where the guts and courage came from, No. 5's originally lowered head raised again, "Didn't you catch me here today?" ”

"That's true, yes, but that's not my problem."

Nangong was now more and more sure of what secret No. 5 was hiding in her heart, otherwise there was no need for her to try to change the subject on such words that she could understand at the first hearing.

"It's true that you went back, but what I want to know is what you did before you went back, or if the time you went back was 'direct' as you call it. If you have proof, I don't think anyone will embarrass you. ”

"My people can prove it!"

Clansman...... This kind of obviously covered-up witness is not evidence at all!

"Is that so?"

Facing No. 5, who seemed to have become confident, Shiyu, who had been observing the situation, interrupted Nangong's rebuttal, "Then let me ask you, where did the gift box you sent go, the one containing the peaches." ”

“！”

"I guess you should take it back now, and if you still don't want to admit it, we can search it right away."

Shiyu's pretty face gradually became gloomy, "I hope you don't lie anymore." ”

Box...... Sure enough, on the fifth she didn't go back "directly", but used an unknown method to return to the annex again?

Wait, if it's the gift box she brought...... That size, that shape, and the disappearance of the dragon this time, can it be!

"In the next life, young people should not be angry."

Just when Nangong was about to blurt out in surprise at the terrifying possibility that suddenly came to mind, Ying Mo pressed his shoulders and pulled him aside.

"Wait, don't rush in."

…… Even the eldest princess said so, is that really the reason!

Although he suppressed his surprised expression, Nangong couldn't help but cast his eyes on the surrounding monsters. Bermuda, who was smiling, Banqing, who was frowning, and Shiyu, who didn't seem to have too much emotion...... It seems that these old monsters also understood the possibility in an instant.

However, this is only a very possible "possibility" after all. I can't make a conclusion, at least for now, because in the case of Five, it is completely impossible to enter the annex by ordinary means again, and there are only two reasons why she did it.

The first is that there are accomplices, and the second is ...... Did you miss it?

"No, there's no need to search, I did take it myself."

Seeing that the matter could no longer be hidden, No. 5 also lowered his head as if he was dead, "But I just secretly ran back and took the gift!" Is that about arresting me? ”

It's to take away the gifts...... Nothing more?

"And how did you get to the annex?"

Nangong asked, "There are spells outside, and I remember that there must be a maid to lead the way." ”

"Huh? But when I went back, I went straight in. No. 5 gave Nangong a surprise answer with a blank face, "No one met anyone, and then walked in." ”

"No one?"

"When I went to get the gift back, I saw ...... The woman fell asleep with the doll on her side, and then I sneaked out. After that, I went back, really, everyone in the clan can testify to me! ”

The woman...... Forget it, now is not the time to discuss why this wild monkey is so rude.

Judging from the situation, the most likely explanation is that Fifth is not the first uninvited guest to "break into" the annex, and someone has already entered the annex before her and kidnapped Long'er. And the sleeping position of Aunt Yunqing mentioned on the fifth should be just a cover made by the prisoner in order to hide people's eyes and ears.

If you sleep on your side, it is easy to block a large area, creating the illusion that you are asleep with your child in your arms. And No. 5 obviously didn't see the dragon with his own eyes, but just deduced the situation based on his natural thoughts.

After that, the monkey demon who didn't know whether it was gluttony or what kind of monkey demon took the gift and ran away, and then fled back to Monkey Mountain. At this point, the annex was calm again, until Uncle Banyun found out that his son was missing.

Sure enough, what No. 5 did was just "picking up leaks"? But I always felt that something was not right.

"Ahh I remember!" Facing the silent crowd, the fifth suddenly patted his head, "I met four maids when I came, and one of them seems to be called something...... Little inkstone? ”
