In the banquet hall of the annex, after discussion, the detectives spontaneously formed a secret treasure search team, with the exception of a few detectives who were very confident in their abilities, including Mary.

After rejecting all the detectives who wanted to invite her to join her, Mary suddenly realized that Karasuma Ying seemed to be missing.

After glancing at the people in the banquet hall and confirming that she didn't see Karasuma Ying's figure, the expression on Mary's face gradually became solemn.

Karasuma Ying did tell her that she was going to the bathroom before, but that was more than half an hour ago, not to mention that there is a public bathroom at the back of the first floor of the annex, have you been squatting for too long for more than half an hour?

Something went wrong.

Without any hesitation, Mary quickly came to this conclusion.

Of course, she knew that Karasuma Ying was special, and this was the reason why she deliberately kept Karasuma Ying's child by her side, because it was the most important bargaining chip in her hand.

But what she didn't expect was that just the work of going to the bathroom, the person was gone?

"Hoo ......"

She took a long breath of relief to adjust her breathing, and Mary's eyes narrowed slightly under the thick sunglasses, and her gaze was sharp.

She didn't believe in accidents at all, because she knew from the beginning what was about to happen in this small country.

Therefore, when she saw Karasuma Ying on that flight, Mary was overjoyed, because the appearance of this child almost confirmed all her previous guesses.

But what Mary didn't expect was that she didn't look at Karasuma Ying for such a short time, and the child was gone?

Such a small point of negligence can be caught, does that mean that he is always by her side?

Detective, maid, officer, noble...... Scanning the banquet hall again, Mary's face was gloomy to the extreme.

Who the hell will you be?

"Toot-"

At this moment, a long siren suddenly sounded in the annex.

“……”

On the other hand, not long ago, Karasuma Ying learned from Belinda that the dungeon of the royal palace had previously held an Asian assassin named Shirakawa, and immediately decided to take a look in the dungeon.

Of course, this must not be blatantly entered, after all, the soldier named Hans had warned him before that the dungeon of the kingdom was not open to the public, and the consequences of trespassing were serious.

So Karasuma Ying decided to dive in.

And her luck was good, when she crept in front of the dungeon castle, she happened to see the officers of the guard led by Birun, arguing with the Kingdom policemen led by the Barry in front of the dungeon gate.

The two sides quarreled fiercely, and you and I were very intense, but because they seemed to be speaking Andrew, Karasuma Ying couldn't understand a word.

All she saw was the red-faced and thick-necked Birune waving the cane in his hand and yelling at the one-eyed Barry in front of her, while Barry had a gloomy face and one hand was already pressed to the pistol at his waist.

It seems that the relationship between these two is indeed not very good.

Eventually, after a few more minutes of arguing, Chief Barry's side relented, and with a wave of his hand, he beckoned the other policemen behind him to leave, including the guards guarding the dungeon gates.

Birune, on the other hand, was triumphant, he raised his hand to straighten the suit and tie on his chest, and after saying a few words to the officers of the guard behind him, he walked into the dungeon alone.

The officers also had triumphant expressions on their faces, and after Biruen entered the dungeon, they laughed at each other and said something, and then walked together towards the annex.

In this way, the door of the palace dungeon was briefly unguarded.

Immediately realizing that the opportunity had come, Karasuma quickly sneaked through the gate into the dungeon after the officers were far away.

It may be that the dungeon itself was remodeled from a castle, so the environment inside the dungeon is not what Karasuma Ying had expected.

As soon as you enter, the space inside is very large, like the hall of the castle, surrounded by several corridors that lead to different directions inside the dungeon.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of dust and the decaying smell of the building, and Karasuma looked at the passages around her, and for a moment she was in trouble.

There were no signs in the dungeon, and she didn't know where to go.

And she didn't have enough time to go through them one by one, because Barry and the others who had left before might come back at any time, and she didn't know if there was a secret passage in this dungeon, if she was accidentally blocked in it, it wouldn't be so simple to get out again......

Be sure to ......

Thinking at a rapid pace, Karasuma Ying ran to the entrances of the corridors, lay on the ground, and quickly and carefully observed the situation at the entrances of these corridors.

Both Birune's annex and the location of the castle dungeon are relatively remote places in the royal palace, near a dense forest planted by man.

There is at least a stone paved road in front of Birune's annex, but the castle dungeon is a completely dirt road.

Therefore, people who enter the dungeon through the gate will have some traces of dirt on their feet more or less, and if it is a place in the dungeon that is often walked by, it will leave traces of mud to some extent.

Karasuma Ying thinks that no one will be bored to clean up this dungeon, right?

And it is true, less than half of the surrounding corridor tiles have traces of dirt.

As for the remaining half, there are almost no traces, and even some of the corridors have begun to accumulate dust, and the marks can be slid out with a light touch of the hand, obviously not being walked by anyone for a long time.

In this way, the target she needs to search is directly reduced by half, but this is also the best she can do, and then it is really just a matter of luck.

Picking a random corridor with dirt marks, Karasuma walked briskly against the wall.

There were no windows in the hallway, but thankfully there was electricity in the dungeon, and the walls on both sides were lined with slender wires, lit up by orange lights, so you couldn't see the way clearly.

The shadow behind her was stretched and retracted by the light, and Karasuma Ying quietly walked along the corridor, seeing many abandoned rooms that were vacant along the way.

These rooms didn't look like prison cells, they had normal doors, and Karasuma Ying opened a few of them to take a look, and there was nothing inside, and it looked like they were vacant rooms that hadn't been used yet.

Closing the door gently, Karasuma Ying wanted to move on, but at this moment, a deafening alarm suddenly sounded in the castle.

"Toot-"

Long sirens echoed throughout the castle along the corridors, and the radio was spoken in Andrew that Karasuma Ei didn't understand, and his tone seemed to be saying something in a hurried tone.

[What's going on?] 】

Puzzled, Karasuma Ying, who thought she had been exposed at the first time, quickly calmed down.

No way, she has no reason to be exposed, so this siren should have nothing to do with her, it is estimated that something big is happening in the palace......

We have to hurry.

Thinking like this, Karasuma Ying had just taken two steps forward when she felt something suddenly hit the back of her head.
