The mermaid guards in charge of investigating the case called the maids for questioning in turn, and Bai Ruo also went through the process like the other maids.

After the guards have initially searched the palace, the maids will lift the ban, but they must not leave the palace without reason in the near future, and they must cooperate with the investigation at any time.

Bai Ruo's attention was always on the suspicious maid.

Like the other maids, she left the side hall and went back to her dwelling in the middle of the stream.

Bai Ruo had only been with the princess for a day, and the maid in charge hadn't even had time to assign her a new residence.

She cheekily followed the maids' room.

The maids' minds were on the princess who had an accident, and they didn't care about Bai Ruo.

The initial panic dissipated, and the maids couldn't help but worry about their future whereabouts, and discussed in whispers.

"There are no idle demons in the palace, and I don't know where we will be assigned after the investigation?"

"I heard that there are several vacancies over there ...... Your Highness"

"Your Highness is not easy to serve, otherwise how did those vacancies come about?"

Bai Ruo's ears moved, Your Highness?

She hadn't heard of this before.

Bai Ruo was curious: "Who is Your Highness?" ”

The talkative maid noticed that Bai Ruo, a new demon who had only been here for a day, and a maid said kindly: "It's the princess's royal brother, don't think it's a good place to go." His Royal Highness is still young and arrogant, and the maids around him have changed round after round......"

If Bai Ruo blinked, Since ancient times, examples of royal fratricide have not been uncommon, and the suspect demon has increased by one.

She tried to find out more about the little highness, "He and the princess are from the queen?"

The maid next to her changed slightly, "The princess is from the former queen, and Her Royal Highness is from the current queen, you can't say this casually outside." ”

Bai Ruo's eyebrows moved.

Half-sibling, this is even more suspicious.

No wonder only the mermaid king came to the princess's dormitory, and the queen did not show up.

Bai Ruo's gaze swept over the suspicious maid, and while everyone was discussing, she kept looking out the window, as if she didn't care where she was.

Until the maid beside her called out to her, "Bizhu, what about you?" Which temple do you want to go to? ”

Bizhu came back to her senses and said casually: "We have the final say in this matter, and we will go wherever the boss is distributed." ”

Another maid touched her with her arm, "Bizhu, don't you have a sister who works for the queen?" Let her help you say something, isn't it easy for you to find a good errand? ”

Bizhu's face immediately changed, "What are you talking about, how can I have a sister in the queen's palace." ”

The maid sneered, "I saw the maid in the queen's palace come to you before, and you spoke very intimately, and I thought it was ......."

Bizhu quickly interrupted her, "You must have read it wrong, I don't know the maids in the queen's palace. ”

Bai Ruo silently raised the queen's suspicion level a little more in his heart.

Bai Ruo collected a wave of information among the maids and left quietly.

She was going to find the pangolin, there were so many suspects, she couldn't keep an eye on it, she had to divide the work.

Bai Ruo came just in time, and the pangolin was eating.

Bai Ruo touched her empty stomach, unceremoniously picked up her chopsticks, and sat down opposite her.

The pangolin glanced at her, "Is there a lack of food for you in the palace?" ”

Bai Ruo drank a small half bowl of fresh fish soup and breathed a long sigh of relief, "The princess died unexpectedly, I was so busy that my feet didn't touch the ground, how could I have time to eat?" ”

The pangolin's hand shook, and the fish fillet he picked up almost fell to the ground.

"What, the princess is dead?"

Bai Ruo was puzzled: "You are here, you haven't heard any rumors?" ”

The pangolin said blankly: "No, even the food delivery in the dining room is very punctual, and there is no abnormality at all." ”

Bai Ruo suddenly felt that something was wrong, could it be that the matter was completely controlled within the scope of the dormitory, and it did not spread out at all?

She frowned, if she investigated the poisonous wine, there must be a demon in the dining room who handled the wine, how could there be no movement in the dining room.

Pangolins sandwiched between fish fillets, and they can't eat it for a while, and they don't eat it either.

"What the hell is going on, tell me more about it?"

Bai Ruo told the pangolin from beginning to end.

The pangolin nodded the table with chopsticks, "So there are two groups of suspects now, one is the remnant of the Sea Snake clan who assassinated the princess on the wedding day, and the other is the queen and His Royal Highness." ”

Bai Ruo nodded, "But now it seems that the situation in the palace is so firmly controlled, as if it was predicted in advance that something would happen, and the queen is even more suspicious." ”

The pangolin felt something, "So you came to me to make me ......"

Bai Ruo showed a kind smile, "Let's keep an eye on it." ”

The pangolin put down his chopsticks and suddenly felt that the dishes on the table were not fragrant.

When Bai Ruo walked out of the pangolin's residence, he suddenly felt half relaxed.

She only needs to find a way to infiltrate the queen's palace next, and leave everything else to the pangolin to investigate.

The demon takes food as the sky, and since even the food on the pangolin's side is as usual, the meal sent by the dining room to the queen's palace must be the same.

Bai Ruo walked briskly back to the dining room, and with the rules he found out when he worked in the dining room, he quickly found the maid who sent food to the queen.

Bai Ruo quietly apologized to her in her heart, knocked her unconscious, lifted the snack box that the maid had just collected, and walked towards the queen's palace.

When she reached the entrance of the temple, the guard on duty stopped her.

"You weren't the one who usually came to deliver snacks, right?"

Bai Ruogong said: "Sister Chunzhi has something to do temporarily, let me come for her." ”

The guards heard her say the name of the maid who delivered the meal, and then let her into the palace.

Bai Ruo entered the hall, his eyes swept around without a trace, and he slowly put the snack box on the desk, and faintly heard the voice of the inner hall.

She wanted to prick up her ears to listen, but a maid appeared out of nowhere.

"Just give me some snacks."

Bai Ruo finished handing over the snacks and reluctantly left the palace.

This time, she set her sights on the roof of the palace.

Bai Ruo avoided the patrolling guards, turned back into a small turtle and climbed onto the roof.

According to the direction she had just observed when she entered the temple, she found the right place to uncover the tiles, and took advantage of the absence of maids to sneak into the temple again.

The small turtle the size of a palm almost blended in with the color of the floor tiles, and the white slid silently into the inner sanctum.

The maid was presenting the refreshment she had just brought to the queen.

The queen picked up a piece of snack and whispered, "Did the colt really disappear out of thin air?" ”

The queen's henchman replied on the side: "It's really gone, the guards are searching the palace, and no trace has been found so far." ”

The queen threw the snack back on her plate and wiped the stubble from her hand.

"In that case, let's put all the blame on him, and it will save trouble."

"What about the king's side, what's the reaction?"

Mama replied: "I heard that the king sent a big fire, and today's government affairs have not been handled......"

The queen sneered, "He will pretend." ”

Bai Ruo hid under the low cabinet and subconsciously sharpened his claws.

Pretending? What do you mean.

It's a pity that the queen didn't continue, and she and her grandmother talked a few more words, and then began to deal with the palace affairs.

Bai Ruo lay on the ground so that the turtle's shell stiffened, and it was not until after nightfall, when the queen went to prepare for the bath, that she found an opportunity to slip out.

She returned to the pangolin's quarters, and after a while, the pangolin, with a tired face, returned with heavy steps.

The pangolin poured himself a cup of tea first, and after pouring two sips, he said slowly: "The sea snake who stabbed him died thoroughly, and he was the only snake in the sea snake clan to attend the wedding banquet, so it is unlikely that he has a party." ”

"As for the little highness you mentioned, he is still a little merman who can only play pearls, and I am afraid that he has not yet developed the ambition to compete with the eldest sister."

"So it seems that the queen may be the last to do it."

Bai Ruo told the pangolin about the conversation he heard in the queen's palace, and the pangolin was even more convinced of the queen's suspected demon identity.

Bai Ruo inexplicably cared about the queen's evaluation of the merman king.

The pangolin knocked on the teacup and said slowly: "This secret realm not only wants us to find the suspect demon, but also to help the little white dragon prove his innocence before he can go out?" ”

As the pangolin's voice fell, a transparent light curtain suddenly fell, and a line of text appeared out of thin air-

[Who is the real culprit who murdered the merman princess? 】

Bai Ruo and the pangolin were stunned.

I didn't expect this secret realm to be quite spiritual.

Bai Ruo said tentatively: "Is it because we say the name of the real murderer, and we can leave the secret realm?" ”

A big "yes" character appears in mid-air.

The pangolin was overjoyed, "Great, it's easier than we thought." ”

She affirmed to the light curtain: "The real murderer must be the queen." ”

In the next second, the light curtain turned red, and the pangolin's figure was covered with a layer of red light.

Her expression was still in shock, but her figure seemed to be gradually erased by some invisible force and disappeared in place.

Bai Ruo was stunned.

She said in a deep voice to the light curtain that had not yet disappeared: "Is this the end of the wrong answer? ”

The light curtain did not respond, only a line of red words appeared:

[A demon only has one chance]
