Chapter 10: The Stumbling Blocks of Reasoning

From the very beginning, it seems that something has gone wrong.

The one who is chased is the one who steals, but he is not the one who steals.

Everything is just theft to cover up the truth, like the chess pieces on the chessboard, each of which is the key to victory, but each one does not represent the whole game.

"Perhaps, from the very beginning, we were mistaken. From the very beginning, there was no such thing as the theft of the Night Pearl. ”

The silver-haired boy said.

Then, suddenly, he raised his right hand, and his fingers, straight out, like an arbiter, silently, mercilessly, pointed at the girl.

That, the mermaid standing next to Princess Xi.

"You say, don't you? Xiaoxuan! ”

The girl's eyes hung down slightly, so that others could not see her expression.

However, it must be wonderful, Kazama thinks so.

"Little ...... I don't know what you're talking about......"

"Don't know what I'm talking about? So, let me explain it slowly and in detail. ”

The corners of his mouth, still with that mysterious smile, Kazama Hiroha gently put his hand down.

"Wind ...... Kazama-kun......"

Compared to the shock of the others, Princess Xi was unexpectedly a little out of shape, and her cheeks, which were originally a little ruddy, suddenly became as pale as other mermaids.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please be calm and listen to my reasons first."

Kazama didn't look at her, just glanced at the people around her again, and then fell on Ryu's body.

"Let's talk about the stream first, the first person I ruled out was the captain of the guard. There are many reasons for this. ”

Nodding slightly towards Ryu, Kazama gently rubbed his chin as he paced.

"For example, it can be taken by force by strength; Or if you don't want to expose your identity, then you can also rely on the convenience of your identity to find a more suitable time; Of course, it is not excluded that it is possible to say that these three imps who are found to have stolen the pearl of the night cannot be caught, and the charge of theft will be directly detained on them forever, without having to risk being exposed and arresting them back as scapegoats. ”

Nodding to himself, Kazama smiled in response to a grateful glance, and then, turning around, glanced at the merman warriors standing in the four corners.

"As for these four mermen, judging from their willingness to remove their armor to prove their innocence just now, at least they will not hide the Night Pearl on their bodies. Then, even if it was really stolen by them, there were only two ways to deal with it, one was to take advantage of the time when they went out and pretended to chase the three imps, and threw them to the companions who had arranged to pick them up in advance, but in this case, they had to risk being discovered by the companions who acted together, which was not a wise choice from a rational point of view; And the other way to deal with it is to still hide it on the body, as for the 'unloading armor Mingzhi' just now, it is purely a play! ”

The four angry eyes gathered in an instant, like flames, scorching the wind and making Yang Yu feel painful, and hurriedly waved his hand.

"Don't get excited. I'm just talking hypothetical. If it is really a play that the prisoner leads or plays based on his grasp of the hearts of others, then he must take the risks that come with the play. In other words, if I didn't deduce who the real culprit was, or if I turned out to be wrong, but ruled out the possibility of theft by those three imps, then he would have to face the risk of being examined again, which is obviously irrational. ”

The angry gaze finally subsided, and Kazama let out a long sigh of relief, and then, with a smile.

"But having said all this, there is actually one of the most critical points, and it is also the point that can conclusively prove that the five of them are not prisoners, but allow me to talk about it later."

Continuing to pace in the middle of the hall, Kazama suddenly raised his head and looked at Ji who was standing beside him.

"Well, in this case, just among the guards, only the deputy captain Ji is still suspicious."

"Hey, hey! What are you talking about?! Do you even suspect that I stole His Highness's Night Pearl?! ”

The figure flashed, and instantly stuck to Kazama Yangyu's body, and a pair of pale blue eyes stared at him deadly.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited...... On the contrary, I'm trying to prove your innocence. ”

"That's pretty much ......"

Glaring fiercely, Ji finally stepped back.

"Everyone has also seen that such a guy is the type who rushes up to find people desperately at every turn, and I don't think anyone would be willing to bribe such a guy to do this kind of betrayal."

As soon as he was freed from the eyes of the other party who was about to kill him, Kazama Hiroha began a new round of death.

Of course, it is not excluded that he himself needs the Night Pearl for some purpose, or that this impulsive character is just a layer of disguise for him. But for someone who can become the vice-captain of the princess's guard, there is no doubt that his character should be familiar to everyone since he was a child. A person, it's okay to disguise for a while, but it's too difficult to disguise for a lifetime. So, for a moment, let's just agree that you're the kind of guy who only does things by feeling. ”

Ignoring the angry eyes, Kazama continued to talk to the people around him as if he remembered something.

"Oh, but, in fact, there is the most important point, a person who steals the pearl of the night, no matter how good his psychological quality is, will not be so good as 'helping people out of the siege everywhere and giving reasonable explanations for others that are not suspected', reducing the suspicion of others, but he is exposing himself. No matter how stupid I am, I don't think it's likely that I'll do such a high-profile, but thankless job. Therefore, to sum up, because Ji is such an existence, the possibility of his theft is basically none. ”

"Provided, of course, because there are more questionable objects."

Kazama turned around and looked at the old woman who had been silent.

"Oldβ€”grandma, or ...... Shy teenage girl? ”

With a burning gaze, Kazama Hiroha stared straight at the old woman like this.

"I don't know, which one do you prefer?"

"I didn't know you were ......"

"Hey, I said, even if it's to be disguised, at least don't just make a good appearance and think it's okay...... The so-called old people, but you have to say something like 'young man, the old body really doesn't know what you're talking about...... right? ”

Compared with the old woman's more gloomy expression, Kazama's expression was unexpectedly cheerful.

"And...... Grandma's body will not have that light fragrance~"

"Uh......"

The old woman was suddenly stunned.

Half a day.

"Hey, I lost to you, I lost to you."

The trick is like a trick, and the old face is gently lifted, and a beautiful girl appears in front of everyone in an instant.

Then, with a helpless expression, he raised his head and looked at Kazama Hiroha.

"In other words, because of these two points, I was exposed?"

"Well, since you've changed back to being a girl, don't use ventriloquism, right?"

"Uh...... Even this was discovered by you? ”

Her eyes widened, and the girl looked at Kazama in disbelief.

"After all, I happen to be able to speak with my mouth closed, which is a necessary skill in life, and I happen to be able to ......do it too."

Unexpectedly, scratching his head embarrassedly, Kazama Yangha's face straightened.

"As for the reason why I don't think you're a criminal, it's just because I think that girls in love don't have the IQ and time to do this kind of thing."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

There was silence in the audience, and for a while, I was speechless.

"Love, love or something...... I didn't have ......."

Slightly annoyed, the girl's cheeks suddenly puffed out.

"Then may I ask, what are the stories you told Princess Xi about the love when you were young...... Who is it about? ”

Kazama smiled slyly, bent down suddenly, and asked with a wicked look.

"Ahh......h If my boyfriend had half your emotional intelligence, maybe I wouldn't have to work so hard to disguise myself here......"

glanced at Kazama Hiroha sadly, and the girl's eyes suddenly showed a hint of interesting danger.

Some people say that a girl's love always begins with interest and curiosity, as the saying goes, "I've begun to notice you", which is the so-called, the beginning of love.

Subconsciously turning his head, Kazama hurriedly walked towards Xiong Buli in front of Princess Shio.

"As for this Mr. Xiong Ignore ...... Could you please give the things you have in your arms as a gift to Her Royal Highness? ”

Xiong, who was originally looking at Princess Xi with a smirk on his face, ignored the agitated spirit and raised his head in a panic.

"What...... What is it? I don't have ...... in my arms."

"Huh? Is that it? ”

With lightning speed, Liu, who had been standing beside Princess Xi, suddenly took out a crystal round transparent sphere from Xiong Buli's arms.

"Mirror Ball?!"

"Oh, I see, it's this thing......"

Frowning slightly, he nodded thoughtfully, and a knowing smile suddenly appeared on Kazama's face.

"I thought it was a gift that you didn't dare to give, so I wanted to help you...... It seems that Mr. Xiong's personality is a little worse than I imagined, or ...... A little immoral? ”

"I ...... Where am I immoral?! ”

Seeing that his mirror ball was suddenly taken out of view, Xiong ignored the yell, stood up and pounced on the stream.

Then, without accident, it was "swallowed into the stomach" by the water element.

"If you can't take pictures or anything at will without other people's permission, it's not immoral, then, do you need me to ask Liu to show everyone the mirrors of Princess Xi in the mirror ball, and then I can determine whether it is moral degradation or shamelessness?"

Although it was smiling and negotiating, Xiong Buli saw a demonic face.

"Wait...... Wait...... It's me wrong, it's me wrong...... I won't dare next time...... Give me back the mirror ball first......"

Xiong Buli, who only showed one head, cried out without tears, and his body struggled in the sponge-like casualness, but he was completely trapped in the fight of beasts without any strength.

"Give it back to you, it will not be easy for me to protect you from being beaten to death!"

Kazama said as he grabbed the staff and was about to rush up and beat the stupid bear fat.

"Forgive him, Ji."

The thoughtful Princess Xi didn't look up, but just absentmindedly stopped it, and a pair of eyes glanced at Xiao Yuan beside her, intentionally or unintentionally.

But the other party didn't look at her, her expressionless face hung low, and there was only a pair of eyes, which flashed rapidly.

"Hmm...... Tell me why you're not a prisoner. ”

Relieved to let go of Ji, who had finally stopped, Kazama let out a long sigh of relief, and then his face quickly straightened.

"Actually, the reason is very simple, because you stink so much, if you run under the ceiling to get the night pearl, you will definitely be smelled. And I asked just now, and everyone said that at the time of the incident, there was no special smell. ”

So, in fact, that means...... If the Night Pearl is really stolen, among all the suspects, there will only be six guards, including Liu, Ji, and the three imps who have no fragrance, but they are also not smelly. ”

"What do you mean by not smelling?! Uncle Ben is ......"

Nande's shrewd dark eyes glared fiercely, and he said angrily.

"Hey, got it, got it."

Waving his hand indifferently, Kazama suddenly looked at the little man who was standing quietly on the side, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mysterious smile.

"I'm just saying...... If the Night Pearl is really stolen...... So, don't get too happy~"

The faint voice, like a threat, and like, mocking......

Kazama suddenly turned around, nodded to Princess Shio, and then looked at everyone with a smile.

"But let's talk about Her Royal Highness first...... I don't think Your Highness is the kind of person who directs and acts in this kind of boring farce that pretends to be stolen from the East Evil, even if for some reason it is necessary, I believe that she will have a better choice just because of her elegant posture, the kindness of her healing, and the gentleness of careful consideration for the privacy of her patients. ”

Unexpectedly...... Do you even doubt it...... This guy, it's crazy......

Everyone's eyes suddenly brought some inexplicable fear, as if they were looking at a beast that was too rational.

However, the so-called beasts can always find the most accurate target.

Kazama is like that.

"So, in the end, when the suspicion of the theft of the Night Pearl was built upon, and the suspects were left with only six guards who had been presumed innocent, and I fought against the three imps who were destined to prove their innocence from the beginning, I finally understood, perhaps, that something was wrong from the beginning......"

"From the beginning, it was wrong...... Is it ......?"

Liu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was about to act, but he was grabbed by Kazama Yangyu.

I saw Kazama Raising Feather shook his head gently, staring at the mermaid girl in front of him with burning eyes.

"Give me the sword."

Words are spoken by convection.

Therefore, soon, Kazama Yangyu had an extra sword of the merman guard in his hand.

A sword glowing with cold light.

"Yang Yujun, although I respect you very much, but ......"

Princess Xi finally raised her head again, looked at Kazama Yangyu, and also looked at, Xiao Yuan.

"I know that I will choose what I should do, for the sake of the truth of everything."

The tip of the sword, slowly, was raised, facing the mermaid girl's weak throat.
