"Sir......"

In the special cell in the castle dungeon, the old man who was originally squatting in the corner and chatting with Karasuma Ying suddenly got up and walked tremblingly towards the Kingdom police outside the cell.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

Standing outside the cell, the Kingdom policeman looked at the old man with some vigilance and asked in Andrew's language.

"Ah, it's not me, it's the little girl......"

A smile appeared on the old man's old face, and he walked step by step to the Kingdom Police with his hands behind his back, and replied in the same Andrew language:

"That little girl wants to ask you something, sir, but she doesn't speak Andrew, so I bothered an old man like me to ask for her......"

Listening to the old man's words, the Kingdom policeman glanced at Karasuma Ying.

Feeling his gaze, Karasuma Ying, who had already stood up, just blinked her eyes and looked at him with a smile.

"Say, what does she want to ask?" Looking at the old man who was still walking towards him, although the Kingdom police were a little nervous, they were not panicked.

The reason is simple, he is outside the cell, and the old man and Karasuma Ying are both inside the cell, but there is an iron fence between them.

With this iron fence, no matter whether there is any conspiracy between these two people, as long as he keeps a certain distance, then they will not succeed.

"It's nothing, the little girl just wants to ask, when will she be able to go out?" The old man had already walked to the iron fence and looked faintly at the Kingdom police on the opposite side through the iron fence.

"You told her that this kind of thing can only be decided by Chief Barry, and it's useless to ask me." The old man looked a little creepy, and the Kingdom policeman replied nervously.

"That's ......"

The old man nodded, and at this time, his hands that were originally behind his back suddenly moved, as if he was holding something.

The old man's action immediately aroused the high vigilance of the kingdom police, he frowned, subconsciously grabbed the baton on his waist with his right hand, and shouted loudly:

"What are you doing?! Take your hands out...... Belch! ”

However, before he could finish speaking, a stone suddenly flew out from beside him, and smashed it on his head with great precision, and the violent impact forced him to faint on the spot, and he fell straight to the ground.

"It's amazing, little girl, you can lose such an accurate ......" Seeing this, the old man turned around, looked at Karasuma Ying, and said with a smile.

The Kingdom Police was put down, and he also lowered his hands that had been behind his back before.

In fact, there was really nothing on his hands and behind him, and his previous series of strange actions were all aimed at completely attracting the attention of the Kingdom police to him, thus creating an opportunity for Karasuma Ying's sneak attack.

Judging from the results, the cooperation between the two was very successful, and the young policeman thought that as long as he stood outside the cell, he would be fine, but he did not expect that Karasuma Ying could hit him in the head with a stone from ten meters away.

The castle dungeon is hundreds of years old, and the aging of the building, coupled with the fact that it has not been cleaned for many years, has long accumulated a lot of small rubble peeling off the walls on the edges and corners of this cell, providing the most important weapon for Karasuma Ying's sneak attack.

"It's okay, I played a game of throwing sandbags when I was a child."

Karasuma said as she walked quickly to the lock of the cell door, and she raised her hand to remove the hairpin on her head, pulled out the wire from it, straightened it, and reached through the keyhole into the lock.

"Little girl, you can even pick the lock?" Looking at her actions, the old man was quite surprised.

"Well, when I was a child, I used to think that a thief who loved to steal gems was very powerful, and I learned some under the influence of that thief, and of course I didn't know how to open any lock......"

While explaining, Karasuma Ying kept testing the inside of the door lock with a wire.

It didn't take long for the lock of the cell to open with a "click".

[It worked.] 】

Removing the lock, Karasuma Ying opened the door smoothly, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and an inexplicable sense of accomplishment suddenly rose in her heart.

Look, you still want to trap her in this prison?

Remember to change the electronic lock next time.

After a moment of smugness, Karasuma Ying turned her head to look at the old man behind her, and the other prisoners who were locked up inside.

Seeing that she actually opened the cell door, the eyes of many people behind her suddenly lit up, but soon, the light in their eyes quickly extinguished.

"Little girl, aren't you leaving?" The old man looked at Karasuma Ying and asked.

"Old man, you ......"

"You don't mean to shout for us to go together, do you?"

Seeing Karasuma's thoughts at a glance, the old man let out his weird laugh again.

"Hey, hey, don't think about it, what if we do get out of this dungeon? Will we still be able to escape from the palace and from this country? It's nothing more than being captured by our Holy King, there's no point in ......"

With that, the old man kicked Karasuma out of the room, then bent down to pick up the lock on the ground, closed the door of the cell, and put the lock back on.

"Okay, let's go quickly, little girl, don't forget what you promised me......"

After saying this, the old man stopped paying attention to her, turned around, and walked tremblingly towards the side of the cell.

“…… Good. ”

Glancing deeply at the old man, Karasuma Ying took the phone on the table next to her that she had been searched by Barry, and left the place quickly.

The journey back was unusually smooth, and Karasuma didn't bump into anyone along the way, and it was only when she reached the door of the dungeon that she finally met a detective male.

She had the impression that the male detective had spoken English both of them, so they had spoken to each other in the banquet hall before.

The male detective naturally saw Karasuma Ying who had just come out of the corridor, and the expression on his face was a little surprised, and he smiled and spoke first:

"Karasuma-sama, why are you here? Did Miss Mary ask you to come here to gather information? ”

"Huh? Ah, well, yes......" Stunned for a moment, Karasuma Ying reacted quickly and nodded along with his words.

[Gathering intelligence? Mary? It seems that something is really going on in this palace, is it related to the sound of the siren before? 】

"Haha, it looks like Miss Mary hasn't informed you yet." Seeing Karasuma Ying nodding, the male detective continued:

"I just heard from my detective friend that Miss Mary has found the murderer of Commander Birune, and is now reasoning from above, so let me hurry up and ......"

[Birune was killed? Topmost? Is it inside the dungeon? 】

Puzzled in her heart, Karasuma Ying directly opened her acting skills, and immediately spoke, smiling and saying to the male detective:

"I think Miss Mary was also busy solving the case to forget about me as an assistant, Mr. Detective, since we met, why don't we go up together?"

"Okay, let's go up together."
