On the playground, everyone is lying in the sun like sunflower seeds, hot and hot.

Zhang Su passed by with a few packages and tools, and saw Saho rolling around on the ground.

"Saho, are you going to Ryugu Castle?" Zhang Su asked.

Saho rolls around on the ground, frying herself until golden brown on both sides, and then gets up again.

"What are you doing?" Saho asked.

"Put a lock on the treasure house of the Dragon Palace, to prevent villains from being gentlemen." Zhang Su said, "This is a smart lock, surface-mounted design, will not hit the stone wall, does not need to drill additional holes, there is a shell outside, it looks similar to the various aquatic decorations of the Dragon Palace." We're also going to install signage, we're going to install some real surveillance cameras, big work. ”

"After that, we were much more relieved, and we caught a big fish and caught the real bad witch among us." Saho followed, "It's all my credit." ”

"It's these key choices that define who we are, and it's important not to regret it." Zhang Su went to install the lock and camera, and by the way, watched Princess Otohime's final trial against Yumemi Eto.

Saho turned her head and saw Sister Fukada following behind, with a strange expression, and she was so frightened that she grabbed the corner of Zhang Su's clothes.

"Hey! Sister flowers are released! Saho said.

"It's okay, if you feel too worried, scare them and scare them away." Zhang Su said.

"I'm the King of Saho! Don't keep following! Saho raised her fist with them.

Sister Fukada came closer, the expression on her face that was not smiling.

"Uh, run...... Saho quickened his pace and walked in front of Zhang Su, reminiscing about his previous wonderful detective experience, "Anyway, when I first interrogated Haruka Fukada, she said that she worked in the garden, which matched the facts, wouldn't that be ...... Aren't they so disagreeable? Occasionally, I'll tell the truth. ”

"What if it wasn't Haruka who started working in the garden, but Shino? Your twins' ruse is actually correct, it's just that the identity exchange was too early, long before they even started working. Zhang Su said.

"Ah, that's hard to understand." Saho tapped his fist on his unassuming head, "Why do you smell of them in the hallway?" ”

"It shows that they did 'step on the spot' and walked through the entire corridor once, but they did not commit theft." Zhang Su said.

"What about time?" Saho asked.

"Probably when Princess Otohime went back to inspect the treasure house, one of the Fukada sisters followed her, and they were inseparable from her, and when Princess Otohime saw that the necklace was stolen, they ......," Zhang Su said.

"What a scary two!" Saho was worried and quickened her pace, "It seems that they are the villains!" ”

Ryugu Castle.

Zhang Su added a lock to the treasure house, and from then on, only Princess Otohime's voice, fingerprints, and iris trinity could be opened.

"That's cool." Princess Otohime checks this lock.

Tiny sensors record the details of her fingers and can scan them for verification in a tenth of a second.

She opened her eyes wide to check the iris scanner, which used infrared light to examine Princess Otohime's eye sockets, record the appearance of her eyes, and be able to check whether the eye was dead or alive.

"It's safe now, don't worry about it anyway." Zhang Su said, "Let's go and finish the next thing, solve the problem of Wei Teng Mengmei." ”

"That's right." Princess Otohime sped off, "You have to get ready." ”

Princess Otohime imprisoned Yumemi Eto for a while, and then held a trial in the large circular court of Ryugu Castle.

Zhang Su, Saho, Fukada Sisters, and Yang Kui were all in place to observe.

Princess Otohime changed into a solemn pale dress, wore white makeup on her face, and wore a hexagonal crown made of pearls, diamonds, shells, and corals on top of her head.

A decisive verdict is about to be handed down against Yumemi Eto, who is guilty of a felony of theft.

In the middle of the circular courtroom is a torture instrument that Princess Otohime dragged from the execution ground, hoping to let Yumemi Eto accept the sentence in front of everyone.

The torture instrument is a huge groove made of basalt left behind by an undersea volcanic eruption, which is pitch black and immersed in three-meter-deep seawater, and next to it is a huge coral pillar native frame, resembling a gallows and a crane.

Yumemi Eto stood in front of Princess Otohime with a cold expression, but not as arrogant as before.

Zhang Su discognised a hint of fear from her trembling micro-expression. Death penalty, death penalty, death penalty. This term echoed in Zhang Su's mind. Princess Otohime wants to kill someone.

Seeing the familiar Princess Otohime become so cold and serious, Saho cowered uneasily on the bench made of cold rock.

She stepped back and saw that Sister Fukada was behind her, and she looked at her intently, and suddenly lost half of her soul.

"In the name of Princess Otohime of Ryugu Castle, I am now on trial for the crimes of stealing the pastel pearl necklace, trespassing on the treasure house, and plundering it without permission." Princess Otohime said aloud, "According to the teachings in the stone book, if the value of the theft is less than 100 shells, the compensation will be 10 times. Whoever steals between 101 and 1,000 shells shall be liable for seventy rods. Those who steal more than 1,000 shells are to have their eyes or equivalent photoreceptors gouged out so that they do not continue to be lured by the goods. Those who stole more than 10,000 shells were banished to the dry shore by the sea tribes, and drowned by the landers. ”

"What is the value of what I stolen?" Yumemi Eto asked.

"Looking at the records of the stone book, the total is 9.6 million shells." Princess Otohime said, her tone confident, "Therefore you will soak in the sea of water, O landman, and your sins will not be washed away unless you are reborn as a sea tribe." ”

Yumemi Edo was silent, her fear turning into a dilating shadow in her pupils.

All the original self-confidence, arrogance, and scheming could not save her life now, and the torture instrument in front of her was big enough to soak her whole corpse.

"What do you mean? What is the appearance of the sea tribe...... Rebirth? Eto asked.

"You'll know. Or you'll never know. Princess Otohime disdainfully replied, and she turned to Zhang Su, "What about you?" Any suggestions? ”

"With the attitude of the Witch Countermeasures Bureau, I propose that Yumemi Eito's sentence be doubled to 198 years and transferred to the New Tokyo Daiichi Witch Prison." Zhang Su nodded to Princess Otohime, then turned to Yumemi Eto, "Anxinin adopts a lifestyle of mutual trust and cooperation, and it is not an exaggeration to see this as a test of humanity, and the same is true of the open door of the treasure house. You don't pass the test and can only spend the rest of your life in a dark prison in New Tokyo. But it's better than being drowned. ”

Yumemi Eto trembled violently, and she showed a look of wanting to vomit.

She blinked, looking around in fear, as if looking for a way out, as if she were looking for a place to get in and hide, as if she was going to turn back in time, go back a few days and change her mind.

But no, all the possibilities of life are narrowed, forming two narrow dead ends, and this is the price to pay for that choice. Zhang Su watched silently.

Saho also came back to her senses and sat upright, everything in front of her scared her and made her feel heavy, like a memory that she could never forget.

"I—rather—drown me." Eto Yumemi trembled and walked forward.

"Then do it." Princess Otohime said.

Her long dragon tail swam and came to Yumemi Eto.

She used her strong arms to bring the necromantic witch down and press her to the ground, then tore a long rope made of seaweed from the torture instrument, tied it around Eto Yumemi's feet, tied it in a dead knot, and then her hands. During this period, Princess Otohime also returned to the high platform and flipped through the two stone pages, and then came down to complete the whole process of tying.

Finally, she returned to the coral rock frame next to the torture device, and pulled the mechanism hard, and Yumemi Edo dragged it on the ground like a corpse, her hair scattered on the ground.

Hasegawa Yokui watched all this, her expression was surprised and trembling, because she was also an accomplice. She desperately hoped that she could have a better end than this.

Princess Otohime turns the handle.

In the first circle, Yumemi Edo was hoisted into the air, in the second lap, she was hoisted to the top of the torture cauldron, and in the third circle, she was headfirst down and immersed in the sea.

As her head, face, and especially nose get closer and closer to the water, Yumemi Edo struggles with her survival instincts. "If the rope breaks, I can't pull you." Princess Otohime said, relieved to see that she was no longer struggling.

Yumemi Edo breathed quickly in despair, her hair falling and wetting the seawater.

She took a deep breath, and then, Princess Otohime turned the handle around for the fourth time, and the three-meter-deep sea water soaked Yumemi Edo in.

Murder, execution, this is the death of man. The Witch's Death. Saho became even more restless, her feet constantly rubbing against each other, her body tense, and her heart beating wildly.

She never thought that Yumemi Edo would beg for death, and she thought that Yumemi Edo would rather be thrown into the First Witch Prison in New Tokyo alive.

"She's dead!" Saho couldn't help but say. It's a shame, she thought that she wouldn't tremble with fear in her life, but it was so, and she trembled in horror when she saw Yumemi Eto's body completely submerged under water.

Trembling, she ran to the cauldron and shouted in a crying voice, "Wait! Can't, Princess Otohime, can't kill! ”

"The rules of the stone book are like this. Early sui, don't interfere. Princess Otohime said, "If you want to cut the rope, she will never be able to float." ”

"Then I'll spin the roulette wheel upside down!" Saho said.

"Life can't be repeated, come back! Early Spike! Zhang Su said.

Yumemi Edo struggled violently underwater, all warnings were forgotten, she kicked desperately, her body arched up and back, swaying from side to side, splashing and banging, and a burst of flooded bubbles sounded.

Saho ran away in fear, she wiped her eyes, was terrified, and returned to Zhang Su's side.

At this time, Eto Yumemi was no longer struggling, did not vomit, did not hit the water. Then the trial ended, and there was nothing left to think about.

"Am I the murderer?" Saho asked, she had such a question in her heart, if she couldn't answer it, she wouldn't be able to calm down in this life, "Did I kill her?" ”

"No, Saho, you've solved the mystery and uncovered the truth, which is what any good investigator would do. The verdict was made by the judicial system of Ryugu Castle, and it was chosen by Emto Yumemi herself. Such consequences are a burden on the law, not on you. Zhang Su looked at the torture instrument.

"Then hug me." Saho stood on Zhang Su's knee worriedly and put his arm around Zhang Su's neck, "I don't dare to look at it." ”

She saw Sister Fukada staring at her in the back seat, but Saho was not afraid now.

After a long time, Princess Otohime turned the roulette wheel for the fifth time, and Yumemi Eto was hung up by a rope. She turned the sixth lap and Yumemi Eto was hoisted aside, and she turned the seventh lap and Yumemi Edo was put down.

Princess Otohime tore the rope with brute force and laid it flat on Yumemi Eto, who was wet and soaked in the sea. Princess Otohime folded her hands together and pressed Yumemi Eto's chest and abdomen.

"What is this doing?" Saho turned her head and looked at her in fear.

"Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, if you can expel the seawater in your lungs, you may still have a life." Zhang Su said.

Princess Otohime pressed halfway and forgot what to do, so she went back to the high platform and turned over the stone book.

Saho's face turned pale, and he immediately let go of Zhang Su, sprinted forward, ran to the side of Eto Yumemi, and straddled her, pressing her chest with both hands.

"Live! Stay alive! "Satsui presses, once, twice, three times, "I've been resurrected so many times, you...... You ...... too."

The air was full of coldness, and Saho's hand gradually lost its strength, and Princess Otohime finished reading what was written in the stone book, and it was too late.

I saw Saho use all her strength to press down on Eto Yumemi's cold body.

"That's enough, Saho." Princess Otohime said.

"Uh......h Woo woo woo ...... "Saho lay down on the corpse of Yumemi Eto and cried bitterly, "Woo wow wow wow-"

Princess Otohime rolled up Saho with her tail, and her tears kept falling to the ground until she was put back on the rock bench, and Saho was still head-down and crying.

"People must be responsible for their own decisions." Zhang Su said.

"I don't know, I'm ......" Saho snorted, "I ...... Don't want to...... It's not what I thought...... I thought it was all ...... Playing...... It's all about playing games......"

She naively thought that everything could be made up and everything could be solved. Yet death is death.

When everything was silent, Princess Otohime looked at the corpse of Yumemi Eto.

"It does feel strange to pronounce the death and execution of a person by hand." Princess Otohime thought, "I guess I didn't kill enough." ”

Suddenly, she heard a choking sound, and their eyes focused on Eto Yumemi.

Edo Yumemi stretched out her hand, supported the ground, and stood up, her skin pale and her eyes empty.

"The corpse has changed!" Early spike shocked.
