"Huh?"

As soon as Karasuma Ying finished sending the picture, she saw Belinda, the maid who had come to the room to greet them before, walk briskly past her.

Belinda's face was a little anxious, she quickly walked to a guard officer in the corner of the banquet hall, and after the two exchanged a few words, they saw that the officer's expression gradually became solemn, put down the wine glass in her hand, and shouted to the other officers next to her to quickly leave the banquet hall together.

As she watched the officer leave, Belinda had a relieved look on her face, as if she had suddenly sensed something, and suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of Karasuma Ying.

The eyes of the two met, and Belinda showed a visibly flustered expression, she immediately lowered her head to avoid Karasuma Ying's gaze, turned around and walked towards the outside of the banquet hall.

Squinting at her, Karasuma Ying hesitated for a moment, then said to Mary beside her, "Miss Mary, I'll go to the bathroom." ”

As she spoke, she didn't wait for Mary, who was dealing with the detectives who had come to invite them, to respond, and went straight to Belinda.

Walking out of the banquet hall, Karasuma Ying sped up her pace, and soon caught up with Belinda, who was walking around to the back of the annex.

At this time, Belinda was standing in front of the wall behind the annex, with her back to Karasuma Ying, her head bowed, her hands clenched, and her mouth kept reciting words in a language she didn't understand.

But judging by her movements, she should be saying words like cheering for herself, don't be afraid.

"Belinda." Standing behind her, Karasuma Ying suddenly spoke.

"Huh?!" Obviously taken aback, Belinda's whole body almost jumped up, she quickly turned her head and looked at Karasuma Ying behind her in extreme shock.

"Karasuma-sama? Y-Why are you here? ”

Although she wanted to explain it to her, Karasuma Ying suddenly remembered that Belinda had asked what she said under Mary's invisible questioning, so she also followed Mary's example, and asked in a non-wavering tone with a slightly straight face:

"Did something just happen?"

"Huh? What happened? No, no, why do you ask that, Karasuma-san......"

Belinda was stunned for a moment, clenching the hem of the maid's skirt tightly with both hands, and did not dare to look directly at Karasuma Ying.

"Before, in the banquet hall, you went to the officer of the guard very anxiously, you first said something to him, and then he left the banquet hall with the other officers, looking equally anxious and solemn."

Getting closer and closer, Karasuma Ying quickly analyzed Belinda's previous behavior.

"At that time, in addition to the officers of the guard, there were also officers from the normal army in the banquet hall, and you walked in with an anxious face, but only the officers of the guard team were clearly targeted, which means that something must have happened somewhere related to the guard.

The guards are only responsible for the garrison of the palace, so under normal circumstances, only the safety of the palace can be related to them.

But this obviously doesn't match the situation just now, because if there is something going on in the palace that can alarm the guards, it will never be you and a maid who will report the situation.

Therefore, the reason why you went to those officers could never have something to do with the garrison of the palace, and after this point is ruled out, then the only thing that can get you to go to them, I think there should be only one possibility left......

It has something to do with Commander Birune, who left earlier, right? ”

After analyzing this pass, Karasuma Ying looked at Belinda quietly, waiting for her answer.

"Really, really worthy of a detective......"

Lowering her head and not daring to look at Karasuma Ying's gaze, Belinda replied with some fear and admiration: "Miss Karasuma, you are right, I really want to go to them to help Commander Biruen ......"

"What do you mean?" Karasuma asked.

"When I went out to fetch the ingredients and came back, I saw Commander Birune being stopped outside the dungeon castle by Chief Barry, Commander Birune seemed to want to go to prison, but Chief Barry didn't allow it, so the two of them quarreled at the door of the dungeon.

Because there were a lot of policemen around Chief Barry, but Commander Birune was the only one, and then I thought about coming back and informing the officers of the guard to help Commander Birune, and that's how it ......happened."

"Chief Barry?" Karasuma Ying was hearing the name for the first time.

"Chief Barry is the highest commander of the Kingdom Police, and the dungeon opposite the annex is guarded by the Kingdom Police.

Chief Barry's left eye, which he had suffered in his youth, had a long scar that was easily recognizable, and he had always had a bad relationship with Commander Birune, and the two often ......"

[Is it him?] 】

Listening to Belinda's description, Karasuma Ying remembered for a moment that when she passed through the dungeon before, she had indeed seen an old guard with a scar on her left eye, and this person should be the Barry Commander in Belinda's mouth.

"I think Commander Birune must have wanted to see the special prisoner in the dungeon, but was stopped by Chief Barry, so the two of them quarreled there......"

"Special prisoners?"

"Well, it's an Asian who was arrested by the guards a week ago, and is said to be the murderer of the king......

Ah, I also heard that this Asian murderer seems to be a Japanese......"

"Japanese?" Sensing a hint of abnormality, Karasuma Ying hurriedly asked, "What does that Japanese look like?" ”

"I also heard from the officers of the guard, it was a man, and I heard them say that he was very good-looking, and his name still seemed to be Bai ...... White River, right? Asian names are really weird......

Ah, of course that's what I've heard, and what the officers told me, and I don't know if it's true or not......"

[White River?! 】

Not expecting to hear this name here, Karasuma Ying's pupils shrank suddenly, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

How is this possible? Why is it here? 】

White River ......

After a short period of shock, Karasuma Ying immediately made a decision in her heart, and with a gloomy and solemn face, she didn't ask anything more, and turned around and left quickly.

True or not, she was going to take a look in that dungeon.

Behind her, Belinda looked at Karasuma Ying, who had lost her cool because of the name Shirakawa, and a smile gradually appeared on her originally timid face.

Seeing Karasuma Ying leave, "Belinda" took out a headset from the maid's skirt and put it on, and said in a very helpless and tired tone:

"That kid, I finally found a chance to trick her in, and I don't know how she came here, I'll let Ah Jing ask later......

It's really not worry-free, don't worry, I'll keep this child inside for a while, and then release her when this time is over.

After all, in this country now, I'm afraid that prison is the safest place......"

Sleepy
