In the banquet hall of the annex, the detectives spontaneously formed secret treasure search teams after discussions, 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 the team, Mary suddenly realized that Karasuma Ying seemed to be missing.
After taking a general glance at the people in the banquet hall and confirming that Karasuma Ying was not seen, the expression on Mary's face gradually became solemn.
Karasumaying did tell her that she wanted to go 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. Did you spend more than half an hour? Also squatted for too long?
there is a problem.
Without any hesitation, Mary quickly came to this conclusion.
Of course she knew the special nature of Karasuma Ying, and this was why she deliberately kept Karasuma Ying's child with her, because it was the most important bargaining chip in her hand.
But what she didn't expect was that just after going to the bathroom, the person was gone?
"call……"
Taking a long breath to adjust her breathing, Mary narrowed her eyes sharply under the thick sunglasses.
She didn't believe in accidents at all, because she knew exactly what was going to happen in this small country from the beginning.
So 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 after she didn't look at Karasumaying for such a short while, the child disappeared?
If such a small oversight can be caught, does this mean that he has always been by her side?
Detectives, maids, officers, nobles... their eyes scanned the banquet hall again, and the expression on Mary's face was extremely gloomy.
Who will you be?
"beep--"
At this moment, a long siren suddenly sounded in the annex.
"..."
On the other side, not long ago, Karasumaying learned from Belinda that the dungeon of the palace had previously imprisoned an Asian assassin named Shirakawa, and immediately decided to take a look in the dungeon.
Of course, this must not be entered blatantly. After all, the soldier named Hans had warned before that the dungeons of the kingdom were not open to the public, and the consequences of trespassing would be serious.
So Karasumaying decided to sneak in.
And her luck was also very good. When she quietly came to the dungeon castle, she happened to see the guard officers headed by Biluen and the kingdom police headed by Barry at the dungeon gate. quarrel before.
The two sides were quarreling in a lively manner, with each other saying something heatedly to each other, but because they seemed to be speaking in Andrewian, Karasumaying couldn't understand a word of it.
She only saw the blushing and thick-necked Biluen waving the cane in his hand and shouting something loudly at the one-eyed Barry in front of him, while Barry had a gloomy face and one hand was already pressed on the pistol at his waist.
It seems that the relationship between the two is indeed not very good.
Finally, after a few more minutes of quarreling between the two sides, Chief Barry gave in. He put down the hand holding the pistol, raised his hand, waved to the other policemen behind him, and left together, including some of them. Including the guards guarding the dungeon door.
Biluen, on the other hand, was very proud. He raised his hand to straighten the suit and tie on his chest. After saying a few words to the guard officers behind him, he walked into the dungeon alone.
These officers also had triumphant expressions on their faces. After Biluun entered the dungeon, they smiled and said something to each other, and then walked toward the annex together arm in arm.
Just like that, the gate of the palace dungeon was temporarily unguarded.
She immediately realized that the opportunity had come, and after the officers left, Karasumaying quickly sneaked into the dungeon through the gate.
Perhaps it was because the dungeon itself was rebuilt from a castle, so the environment inside the dungeon was different from what Karasumaying had expected.
As soon as you enter, the space inside is very large, like a hall in a castle, with several corridors connected around it, leading to different directions inside the dungeon.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of dust and the smell of decaying buildings. Karasuma Ying looked at the passages around her and felt troubled for a moment.
There were no such things as street signs in this dungeon, so she had no idea where to go.
And she didn't have enough time to walk through them one by one, because Barry and others who left before could come back at any time, and she didn't know if there was a secret passage in this dungeon. Going out is not that simple...
Must be quick...
With her mind running rapidly, Karasumaying ran to each corridor entrance, lay down on the ground, and quickly and carefully observed the situation at the entrances of these corridors.
Whether it is Biluen's villa or the location of the castle dungeon, they are both in relatively remote areas of the palace, with a dense artificially planted forest nearby.
Among them, there is at least a stone pavement in front of Biluen's annex, but this castle dungeon is a complete dirt road.
Therefore, people who enter the dungeon through the gate will more or less have some traces of mud on their feet. If it is a place in the dungeon that is often walked by people, there will be traces of mud left on it.
Karasumaying thought that no one would be bored and come to clean this dungeon, right?
And this is indeed the case. Among the surrounding corridors, less than half of them have traces of soil on the floor tiles.
As for the remaining half, there are almost no traces. Some corridor entrances have even begun to accumulate dust. You can easily leave traces with just a touch of your hand. It is obvious that no one has walked through it for a long time.
In this way, the targets she needs to search are directly reduced by half, but this is the best she can do, and then she can really only try her luck.
Choosing a corridor with traces of dirt at random, Karasumaying walked forward quickly, leaning against the wall.
There are no windows to the outside in this corridor, but fortunately there is electricity in the dungeon. Slender wires are hung on the walls on both sides, and orange lights are lit, so it is not difficult to see clearly. road.
The shadow behind her was stretched and shrunk by the light. Karasuma Ying walked quietly along the corridor, and saw many vacant and abandoned rooms along the way.
These rooms didn't look like cells. They had normal doors. Karasuma Ying opened a few of them and took a look. There was nothing inside. It looked like they were vacant rooms that hadn't been used yet.
After closing the door gently, Karasumaying wanted to move on, but at this moment, a deafening alarm suddenly sounded in the castle.
"beep--"
The long siren echoed throughout the castle along the corridor, and there was also Andrew on the radio that Karasumaying could not understand, and the tone seemed to be saying something urgently.
【What's going on? 】
Karasumaying, who was confused and thought she had been exposed for the first time, quickly calmed down.
Impossible, she had no reason to be exposed, so the alarm sound had nothing to do with her. It was probably something big happening in the palace...
We must hurry up.
With this thought in mind, Karasumaying just took two steps forward when she felt something suddenly hit the back of her head.
