34. Self-certification
Proving one's innocence is something that must be done before we can start working together to investigate. Although the suspicion of the spirit mirror had been ruled out at the first time, this matter did make Nangong feel a lot more relieved, but the next thing was the main thing, because the air had already faintly begun to fill the air with a bad smell.
"I ...... Let me start with that. ”
Seeing that these "old monsters" just looked at each other, without the slightest intention to speak, Nangong, who thought that his innocence could be easily proved, stood in the middle.
"Yesterday afternoon, after coming out, I was with the eldest princess. After a little more talking, I went back to my lodgings to rest, as the eldest princess should know. ”
"Of course, the next life is with the main palace."
Although he didn't seem to be interested, in order to prove his innocence, Ying Mo still followed Nangong's testimony, "After separation, the palace will rest, what are your objections?" ”
"Aha, how can there be no objection?"
Just as Nangong thought, Bermuda, who has always liked to cause trouble, laughed strangely after Ying Yu just finished speaking, "That is to say, Your Royal Highness Princess, you are alone after that, and it is inconvenient for anyone to testify to you?" ”
“……”
Woo...... It's a little bad, it seems that a cold air is coming out of Yingjiao's body. However, before Nangong could stop the carried away Bermuda, this guy once again added fuel to the fire.
"Ah, after all, the testimony of you and Nangong leaving together is not convincing, what if you are a gang at all? It's possible to testify against each other or something, right? ”
"Oh, that's interesting. Are you saying that this palace will do such a thing of roosters and dogs? Although Ying Mo suddenly "laughed" very happily, Nangong didn't feel warm at all, "As far as youkai are concerned, you are quite bold." ”
"Whoa, whoa...... Xiaoyu, you saw it. ”
Without waiting for Ying Mo to say anything, Bermuda, who looked "like" to be frightened, immediately shrank behind Shiyu, "Her Royal Highness the princess is trying to kill me, it's too suspicious, huh!" ”
No, ordinary people don't think that this is killing people, and besides, what kind of suspicion is this, there is no basis at all, and it is very simple to prove it.
"If you really think so, you can find the maid who sent us out at that time to testify, and it is not a difficult matter."
Nangong, who was speculated for no reason, had no reason to let Bermuda go at this time, "Speaking of which, where did you go at that time?" Is there any evidence that you didn't turn back and commit the crime during this time? ”
"Ahhhh......h
Bermuda, who suddenly stood up, smirked while touching her face, because her usual behavior was similar to what she was now, which made Nangong not understand whether she was struggling because of her weak heart.
"yes, where did I go? Nangong, do you know? ”
"How could you know!"
"Put this guy aside, no matter what she says, I'll make her spit out the truth."
After forcefully pulling Bermuda aside, Shiyu said, "Everybody, go ahead. ”
"I ...... I went to Qinghu Chihu. ”
Faced with the atmosphere that had fallen down again, this time it was Yuzuri's turn to stand up. Although she was so nervous that her voice trembled when she spoke, no one would suspect her.
"I'm going to ...... with my mom Mother contacted, so ......"
"Did anyone see that?" Shi Yu said very unkind words as usual, "Just the words of your bodyguard are not enough to prove it. ”
"Woo! That, Lily, she ......"
"After I left, I stayed with Yuzu for a while." Filily said and stood up, compared to Yuzuri's nervousness, she showed a completely frank attitude, "If you have evidence...... Is it enough to swear to God? ”
"That's enough, then you two are enough to prove your innocence."
"Oops!? What's going on? Bermuda, who was still trained by the Ten Jade just now, didn't dare to speak, looked a little unhappy, "Why is an oath enough to be considered evidence?" Then I'll swear ......."
"You save it, your oath isn't worth much." Shiyu glanced at Bermuda, "The oath of the clergy cannot be lied about, this is enough to prove it. ”
"I didn't do anything, did I?" Ah Gu didn't seem to understand what "evidence" was, but simply stated her experience, "I slept for a while in the afternoon, ahhhhhh ”
"That is, there is no evidence? I understand. Shiyu nodded, not giving Ah Gu a chance to explain at all, "Then Seven Tails, it's your turn." ”
"Sometimes it's not a good thing to be rigid, Lord Shiyu."
Nanao, who was named, did not get angry, but slowly stated, "First, I have no motive to commit the crime. ”
"Nonsense! I've heard that foxes eat children. ”
"That's just a rumor." Even Nanao, who has always been very gentle, had a trace of displeasure in his eyes after hearing Bermuda's frenzied random smearing, "Second, it's not convenient for me to hide at all, so I don't have a chance to commit a crime." ”
Indeed, judging from the relationship between Nanao and Banyun, the two sides should get along very harmoniously, and naturally Nanao has no reason to steal other people's children. Secondly, judging from the seven big wagging tails of the Seven Tails, it is difficult to sneak back after leaving the annex if you want not to attract attention.
"Third ......"
After briefly explaining his innocence, Nanao turned his gaze to Yi Xian, who had not spoken, "If it is the possibility of committing a crime, it is obvious that Lord Yi Xian, you are most likely to be a criminal." After all, you ......"
"It's really a fox with a mouth." Yi Xian sighed, but her very calm attitude also made Nangong sense that something was wrong.
"Indeed, as you say, I have the best possibility. By the way, no one can prove where I went after that. But...... That's my proof, immature little fox? ”
"What evidence!?"
"The proof is myself, a youkai named Yi Xian! Bub! Yi Xian suddenly opened her arms, her cloudy eyes undisguised with contempt for everyone present.
"I'm going to rob that kid, if you need to run away. Who among you here can stop me? Hahaha, little fox, you actually doubt me, isn't it too ridiculous? If I can stay here and cooperate, it's already a matter of benevolence? ”
"Enough! Be quiet. ”
Just when the atmosphere was about to become sinister, Shiyu waved his hand to stop Nanao, who was suddenly agitated, "Now the monkey demon has not arrived yet, so I can't determine her situation for the time being." The last person present who needs to be proven is myself. Unfortunately, I have no way of proving my whereabouts myself, even though I am not a prisoner. ”
Ay?
Hey, that's not right, according to the script of detective novels, this shouldn't be the case, obviously the "Ten Jades" who are detectives don't need to prove themselves at all.
After waiting for Banqing to arrive, the matter was all handed over to her and Yuzu and Filili, who had been completely proven innocent. Everyone, no comments, right? ”
