Yuehua Garden.

"We'll catch the prisoner." Zhang Su promised.

"Is the detective wearing a hat and smoking a pipe?" Saho is ready to work hard and can't let a good friend like Princess Otohime cry.

"......" Princess Otohime frowned and was sad.

"Let's go investigate, Shuili." Zhang Su put Shui Li, the newly inaugurated investigator, in charge.

"Patience." Shui Li began to study, "What did you lose?" ”

"A string of pearl necklaces, all of them are precious pink beads, very bright." Princess Otohime looked distraught.

"Did the vault lock the door before?"

"I didn't care, and Zhang Su drew a dividing line to prevent others from going over there, so it was semi-open." Princess Otohime muttered, "Shouldn't I be more careful?" ”

"Ninja, go to the site to explore the traces......" Mizuri disappeared in front of them.

"Wait for me!" Saho hurried to follow.

By the time Saho ran to the door of the treasure house in Dragon Palace City, Shui Li was already checking the traces in front of him.

She scrutinized the ground, trying to find footprints and the like.

"Why are you running so fast?" Saho stood next to him panting.

"Ninja, teleport when you blink......" Mizuri said in a serious tone.

"Well, it's all stone floors, and there don't seem to be footprints, not like dirt and snow." Detective Saho began to work, "There is grit everywhere. ”

Mizuri walked into the treasure house, and Saho also entered.

The inside is magnificent, full of dragon palace treasures. Coral jade trees, gold carvings and silver jewelry, rare treasures, ingredients and elixirs...... It's dazzling and dazzling!

Saho put her hands behind her back and didn't dare to make a mistake, she regarded Princess Otohime as a close friend, so she instinctively didn't want to touch her babies.

"The empty box is very close to the door." Shui Li saw the box that originally contained the pearls, "The prisoner should have sneaked in directly, but the time was limited, and he quickly took away the pearl necklace." ”

Hatsuho groaned.

"Prisoners shouldn't steal for money." She said.

"Why?" Shuili turned his head.

"I don't accept pearl necklaces in my commissary." Saho said, "Even if she steals the treasure in the Dragon Palace, she won't be able to sell the necklace." ”

"Ninja, I found out that Saho was taken away...... "Mizuri was alert, "Who crossed over to Saho?" Are you fused hosts? Is there a system? ”

"Hmph, this is Princess Otohime's business! I'm going to try to use my brain, and I'm not stupid. Saho emphasized.

"If it's not for money, what is the pearl necklace for...... "Shui Li analyzed, "Demonstrate to the Anxin Hospital?" Sabotage the relationship between Princess Otohime and us? Showing off your talents? Create tension? ”

"Hmm......" Saho's wisdom is exhausted.

"You're not entirely right." Shui Li took pictures with a mechanical eye and walked out, "Don't forget that there are witches who serve a short prison sentence, and they can leave in three months or even a few weeks, and then they will have a chance to sell the pearl outside." ”

"Terrible!" "It's like selling a necklace to Shadow Street, where people will sell the stolen goods." ”

"We're going to have to keep searching the witch inmates in the Anxin Academy." Shui Li said, "Let all the people who have participated in the labor immediately gather and be examined!" ”

……

……

"Arms up!" Hatsuho checks the pocket of the edge weaving.

"How could I steal?" Yuan Ori couldn't cry or laugh.

"Maybe it's to put a necklace on the little ones, who knows what you'll do!" Saho said.

Enori looked at the playground worriedly.

The witches who had worked in Ryugu Castle were carefully searched, and their solitary cells were also searched. Such troubles are full of complaints.

"It's horrible." Enori felt uneasy, "Anxin-in, it seems that it has really become a breeding ground for sin. ”

"If you go outside, you will be treated as a criminal by others." Saho said disapprehantly, "Grow up!" ”

"Woo......" Yuanori felt disappointed, "It's because I didn't take care of everyone......"

"It would be nice if Senpai was here." Saho sighed, "One person, one heart, everything is solved." Sister! Senpai! ”

"Ninja. Nothing was found...... "Shui Li found nothing, so she had to let the witch prisoners go so that they would not further complain.

"You have to interrogate key suspicious people." Saho said, "It's the same as in the TV series! ”

"Don't!" Yuan couldn't help but say, "You can't turn everyone's peace of mind into a place where everyone is in danger!" ”

"Doesn't it mean that Princess Otohime's baby is not a baby? Lost it and confessed it? Because the Anxin House is so precious, it can't withstand a little wind and waves? "Saho is not happy.

"I want everyone in the hospital to get along." Enori said stubbornly.

Saho wants to say something to teach the kitten a lesson. But she realizes that what Yuan Ori said is true, and this implicit hostility and suspicion are spreading in the Anxin Hospital, and around the case, everyone's relationship will eventually become unprecedentedly bad.

"Well, then, I'll find the prisoner." Saho followed the example of Mr. Dasu, patted Yuanori's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Trust me." ”

"Hmm!" Enori nodded vigorously at Saho.

"Ho, did I have a seven-point resemblance to Dasu just now?" Saho hurriedly turned his head and asked Shuili.

"It's not like height." Shui Li left in an instant and continued to study the case.

……

……

Saho borrowed a notebook and a pen from Makomi, and then put on a blue jacket, red bow tie, watch, and sneakers.

"Xiao Su, tell me what you think of the case." Saho takes notes.

"The cleaning is from 2 to 5 p.m." Zhang Su said, "During this period, Longgong Castle was divided into an access zone and a forbidden area, and the closest to the treasure house was the Flowing Water Garden in the center of Longgong Castle, and if you left from the northwest corner of the Flowing Water Garden, it only took 3 minutes to go back and forth between the treasure house and the garden." I think that's where we can start. ”

"What are you going to do if you catch a prisoner?" Saho asked.

"The hospital has prepared a confinement room to severely punish the prisoners who violate the rules and regulations in the hospital, which will be very painful. Worse, they will be kicked out of the Anxin House and sent to the New Tokyo First Witch Prison. Zhang Su said.

Saho swallowed his saliva, thinking of the dark midwinter, bottomless abyss of New Tokyo No. 1 Prison.

"Thank you for the news, Su." Saho put his hands in his pockets, "Wait until I bring back the good news." ”

"The prisoner will probably be caught after sleeping." Zhang Su groaned.

"Why?" Saho asked.

"When everyone left Ryugu City, they had already searched their bodies in advance, and there were no pearl necklaces, and there was no search in the Anxin Temple. It means that the things are still in Dragon Palace City and have not been taken away. Zhang Su said.

Saho hurriedly ran away.

……

……

"Smell it, little kitten, you don't want everyone in the peace of mind to be separated from morality." Saho takes the Enori cat to Ryunomiya Castle.

"Sniff ......" the edge weaver cat sniffed, "the messy smell, the smell of salted fish, no clue." ”

"What about here? Is it human? "Saho enters the treasure house.

The edge weaver cat's eyes widened, its ears pricked up, and its pink nose moved.

"I smell you." The cat raises its paws.

"This is not the time for jokes!" Saho said.

"Take me farther away." The edge weaver cat crawled forward.

Saho had been around Ryugu Castle a lot with Princess Otohime before, so he knew more about the layout.

She led Yuanori to climb into the distance of the treasure house, and Yuanori moved her nose.

"The human touch is here again." "Unfamiliar smell...... New to the kids. No connection has been made yet. ”

The edge weaving cat lowered its head and sniffed all the way and crawled all the way.

"This direction? Impossible. Saho felt incredulous, "Isn't this going back again?" Shouldn't the prisoner go to the depths of Ryugu Castle to hide something? ”

"This is it!" The edge weaver cat quickened his pace, chasing the breath forward, and Hayaosui rushed over.

Passing through an L-shaped corridor, Saho found that he had gone around from the treasure house back to the south of Ryugu Castle and arrived at the work area designated by the Great Cleaning.

They stopped in a long aisle and exchanged glances.

"It's back to where the Prisoner Witch worked, and it looks like the Prisoner got the necklace and went back and mixed back into the work team." Said the edge weaving cat.

"This long corridor connects the large baths, toilets, underpasses, flowing water garden, and entrance." Haho looked east and west, reconstructing its position in his mind.

"It turns out that this corridor can also lead to the treasure house, so did the bad guys pass through here?" The edge weaves the cat and thinks.

"Dasu said that the nearest way to enter the treasure house is from the northwest corner of the Flowing Water Garden. Approximately three minutes round trip. But if you pass through this corridor, it will take at least twenty minutes to go back and forth. Saho gestured to his feet, recalling his steps, "I'm tired when I walk." Prisoners who are in a hurry to steal will not. She must have entered the treasury first, then left, and then passed where we had just been, and did not return the way she came. ”

"The smell went over there, the same person's taste." The Enori cat stubbornly runs.

Saho and she came to the royal toilet in Ryugu Castle.

"Uh, what's going on here!" Saho felt uncomfortable.

"It's going to be stinking...... "The one who went to the treasure trove came here again," the cat stepped back, raising its paws. ”

Saho looked at the old pile of debris, which had been cleared by the prisoners in the afternoon, and she was silent for a long time.

Next, the early spike drives the shadow cutting technique.

"Spike Shadow, go and cut that one apart." Early Spike Order.

“？？” Spike Shadow refuses.

"Edge-weaving cat?" Saho turned his head, "Let's go!" I wouldn't tell anyone! ”

Ai Yuanori shook her head helplessly.

"Roy the robot certainly won't mind." Set off early.

"Don't bother others, do it yourself." The cat said, "Good boys have to work their own!" ”

Saho looked around, picked up a shovel, and walked to the pile of debris.

Fortunately, Princess Otohime ate lightly.

"Will Princess Otohime know how much sacrifice I have?" "However, now is not the time to back down. If Dasu is here, he will go forward, and I should be a big man again. ”

She went down with a shovel.

Childhood is gone, and the killer is born.

……

……

At night, Princess Otohime sat in Tsukikaen, and Reina and the others were comforting her.

"It's okay, I'll definitely find the treasure." Rina Kobayashi comforted, "Sooner or later, where can it go?" It must be somewhere in Anxin-in. ”

"But, but it's all too bad...... I should follow what the stone book says, and don't let any outsiders indiscriminately enter Ryugu Castle......" Princess Otohime is sad.

A brisk footstep approached.

They turned their heads to look at the entrance of Yuehuayuan, and their expressions couldn't help but change.

Saho walked in.

In her hand, she was holding a necklace of pastel pearls.

"It's something you lost." Sasui said lightly, then turned his head and asked the Yuanzhi cat, "How much does it look like Dasu now?" ”

"One hundred!" Enori said happily, "But ...... Who stole it? ”
