Ocarina of the Crescent

what? !

Polusalino was taken aback, and stared at Brigadier General Triton outside the door several times, and found that the other party looked serious, obviously not joking, then, his heart sank, he held the doorknob hand, fingertips Tighten unconsciously.

"Dead?" Frowning, Polusalino softly repeated the message he had just received, moved his body, and subconsciously blocked the hatch even more tightly.

Well~ At this moment, even Polusalino didn't dare to delve into what he was thinking. Hearing what Brigadier General Triton said, his first reaction was... to hide Qiansui and prevent her from being discovered.

At the same time, maybe there is a little... hate iron but not steel?

In Polusalino's view, according to the actions of the former king of Dumuzi, it was not too surprising that the man would die. He was just annoyed.

That hag with a thousand years and a hundred years old... is really a bit stupid. She didn't know how to deal with the aftermath after she did it?

The Ceylon is sailing at sea, and it's the middle of the night now, so it doesn't matter if you kill a subjugated king, just find a place where there is no one and throw it into the sea, and everything will be fine?

She is born with supernatural power... ah~ Is she really big-breasted and brainless?That woman, ┐(─____─)┌.

His thoughts flashed in a blink of an eye, and then he froze suddenly. Polusalino remained calm as usual, with a row of black lines vaguely hanging from the back of his head, not distinguishing right from wrong, he... Σ(°△° |||).

This, this, this... he would think so...

What about the sense of justice?What about the three views?Have you been shielded/blocked by the cups of thousands of years old? !

Rejected in his heart, Polusalino, who was blocking the cabin door, still had no intention of moving away. He still stood upright and did not say a word, just in a stalemate with the person outside the door.

……

The two looked at each other, and after a while, Polusalino heard a voice behind him.

There was a soft rustling of fabrics, followed by a flurry of hands and feet, accompanied by hasty and light footsteps, and the swirling air flow brought up to cover it quickly.

Polusalino didn't look back, and after a while his body was pushed away a little.

The idiot Qiantui Baisui suddenly ran to the door, squeezed half of his body out from beside him with difficulty, and confirmed the situation in amazement, "Atashata died in my room?"

After a short pause, her voice was raised a few more times, and she said, "Just kidding! I didn't go through the door at all, okay? I was fine when I went out, who can run in and die! Fly in like a fly?!"

Hearing this, the corner of Polusalino's mouth twitched, and he almost swallowed the laugh that overflowed his throat.

Brigadier General Triton was silent for two seconds, turned sideways and retreated a little bit, and said again, "Follow me to the scene, I need you to explain something." The man's tone was calm and ordinary, but his words were orders Mode.

Hearing this, Polusalino immediately turned away from the gaze that was staring at the back of the man's head with half of his body squeezed out from his armpit, and looked gloomyly at the man who ordered the thousand-year-old man.

However, Brigadier General Triton didn't pay attention to him, but looked at Qiansui and Baisui with wrong or right eyes.

Afterwards, Qiantui Baisui replied in a flat voice, "Yes, if the murder happened in my room, it means it's a matter of course." Nodding, she pushed him to block the door with her hand, "Let me go."

Polusalino stood motionless on the spot for a long time, perhaps realizing that he had no intention of retreating at all, so she turned her head and raised her face, looking at him inexplicably.

He also stared at her with his face down, and the two looked at each other. He found that her eyes were black and white, as clear as crystal.

After a few seconds, Polusalino smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "Yeah, why not, of course it's together~ Baisui, don't you think I can stay out of it?"

While talking, he raised his hand and grabbed her shoulder to push her back. Then, with the hand holding the hatch switch, he pushed the door fully open, and took the first step out.

Out of the corner of his eye, Polusalino could see the back of Chitose Baisui, who took a few steps back, was stabilized by the force from behind, and it was Sakaski who was quietly hiding in the distance.

He grabbed her again and pushed her back into the room again. Sakaski blocked her way first, and walked out of the cabin without haste.

……

In an instant, Sakaski stepped forward and stood side by side with Polusalino. The bodies of the two immediately blocked the already narrow exit, and all eyes looking into the room were immediately blocked.

The two classmates at the same time glanced at each other quickly, then looked away again, and stood in front of the cabin door without saying a word, watching the commander of the Ceylon quietly, and at the same time, they also noticed from the breath of the classmates around them... similar, Thin anger and obvious stalemate.

After a long while, Brigadier General Triton spoke again, "Polusalino, Sakaski." His voice was lowered, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Are you protesting the decision of the chief?"

Polusalino twitched the corner of his mouth, but did not speak. Afterwards, a slender force from behind stabbed him directly at the waist, "I don't know what happened~"

It's the voice of a thousand years old, deep and sweet, like a baby.

Hiss - why is this dead woman crazy?The strong muscles that were poked by her fingertips tensed imperceptibly, Polusalino turned his face suddenly, his eyes swept away and then turned back quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the extremely gloomy expression in Chitose Baisui's eyes.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Polusalino finally gave Sakalski a look, and signaled his classmates to wait and see what happened. He walked slowly and turned slightly towards the corridor. go sideways.

He backed down, and not long after, Sakaski also made the same decision, which allowed the stalemate to be resolved.

Walking forward for a certain distance, the other two steps followed closely. Qiantui Baisui and Brigadier General Triton who were waiting there were a few steps behind the two of them, and the four quietly headed to the murder site.

……

In the center of the rooms on both sides of the Ceylon’s cabin area is a three-person parallel wide passage, and the room where Chitose and Baisui live is at the end of the corridor, forming an obtuse angle with Polusalino and the others.

After walking a certain distance, and then turning the corner, not far away, there were some people standing outside the door of the room at the end.

Taking a panoramic view of the scene at the end of the corridor, Polusalino slowed down his pace, waiting for the two people who fell more than ten meters behind to get closer to each other, while quickly analyzing in his heart.

A few navy soldiers guarded the outside, and there seemed to be many figures inside the door. The scene looked chaotic, and the most conspicuous thing was the limp beauty on the scarlet carpet at the door.

One is the Ai Ji of King Dumuzi. She is sitting sideways on the ground, facing the room, resting on her abdomen with one hand, and covering her mouth with the other hand, with intermittent weeping sounds continuously overflowing from the corners of her lips.

Another woman kneeling beside her seemed to be comforting the king's concubine in a low voice. She was dressed as a maid, and that maid was always near the king's concubine during the day and dinner.

And the actions of those people were superimposed, making the end of the corridor even more chaotic.

Squinting his eyes, Polusalino snorted coldly, and without speaking, he just squinted at Brigadier General Triton, who was walking side by side with Thousands and Hundreds, from the corner of his eye.

The man had been paying close attention to Qiantui Baisui's actions all along the way, and when he received Polusalino's gaze, he paused without a trace, then turned his face slightly away, staggering the two people's gazes at each other.

……

Before a group of people came close and noticed the movement, everyone's eyes were projected there.

Polusalino and Sakasky slowed down at the same time, but in the next second they heard someone behind them quicken their pace. In an instant, a thousand and a hundred years rushed forward, picked up the gap between them and the aisle, and quickly rubbed shoulders with them And pass.

"Stay out of the way." She tilted her head coldly, giving Polusalino a subconscious glance.

Tsk-tsk, Polusalino clenched his fist indiscriminately, raised it to his mouth again, pressed it against the corner of his lips, and pretended to cough unintentionally, so as to cover up his gaffe that he almost wanted to drag her away just now .

Qiantui Baisui, who passed the crowd, walked quickly to the door of the room, turned his head, stared at the unobstructed interior, and only after a while, he smiled sinisterly, "No wonder——"

"Brigadier General Triton's swordsmanship is excellent~" Turning her head abruptly, she glared at Brigadier General Triton who was standing among the three people behind her, and then turned her gaze back to the place where she had no privacy at the moment. Temporary residence.

When she spoke, her tone was neither salty nor bland, but there was some displeasure in her squinting eyes.

After thinking about it, Polusalino immediately understood why she was unhappy.

She said that she would leave through the window. At this time, the cabin door would be wide open for people to enter indiscriminately. It was half a wall against the inner wall, and the cabin door was split into an exit.

Judging from the flat and sharp marks of the fracture, it was caused by cutting off the steel wall with a sword.

And there was only Brigadier General Triton with a long knife hanging from his waist.

Then again, this guy who is a thousand years old reacted very quickly~ unconsciously hooked the corner of his mouth, Polusalino walked over, and chose the best position near her where he could respond immediately when an accident happened, Then he stopped and leaned back against a wall, quietly waiting for the next development.

He was always worried along the way, but now he seems not to be worried anymore...Thousands of years...This woman has never been a weak person who would allow others to bully her.

His gaffe... well~ his behavior was so out of order tonight, it's so weird~...

At first he was extremely surprised for a while, and then shook his head at his strange behavior. Polusalino raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes, and temporarily suppressed all the confusion in his heart. After a while, he opened it again, and his consciousness became clear. .

Standing in front of the temporary exit, Chitose looked at her quietly, he turned his eyes away, followed her, and placed them in the room opposite to where he was.

The room where she lived temporarily had a weird shape because of the geographical location.

Standing outside and looking inward, there will be a small visual blind spot inside. Of course, because of the small area, you can still see most of the indoor situation at a glance.

Except for the corner bunk bed which was half covered.

But at this time... half of the body was exposed on the corner bed, lying there quietly, looking face down, the thick and smelly blood stain soaked through the bed sheet, and dripped down along the fabric on the ground.

Zefa stood in the room while two other soldiers looked around.

After spending some time watching the scene, Polusalino immediately closed his eyes. At the same time, he heard Chitose exhale heavily, and said in a cold voice, "Before that, can Brigadier General Triton explain— —”

She turned her face away, narrowed her eyes slightly, and her soft voice seemed to be meaningful, "Splitting the outer wall of my room for no reason, what is the reason?"

"I went out through the window and locked the door. For what reason did you have to destroy my room?"

"Although there is a corpse inside, who would know when the hatch is closed?"

She asked a series of sharp questions, accurately suppressing all doubts that could be contradictory.

The corners of the mouth were shallow and raised, Polusalino glanced over at Sakaski who was beside him, and silently signaled him not to be too excited/excited.

……

The voice of Qiansui Baisui fell, and the constant crying that lingered on the scene paused slightly. After that, the king's favorite concubine replied in grief, "His Majesty the King is inside."

"Very good~" She nodded, raised her hands and applauded slightly, "It turned out to be a call from His Majesty the King." While smiling softly and softly, she looked around, then lowered her gaze a little, "Then, what makes you feel that , am I the concubine of the harem?"

At this moment, Xu Shi Qiantui Baisui's eyes were too fierce, the shoulders of the beautiful woman slumped on the ground trembled, and a few traces of fear appeared in her tear-filled eyes.

"Because...because..." Repeating the beginning several times intermittently, the king's concubine turned her gaze to another direction, looking at Brigadier General Triton with a hint of help, the corners of her mouth trembling slightly, her expression extremely timid.

Pausing for a moment, Qiansui Baisui also cast his gaze over there, but he didn't want to wait for Brigadier General Triton to answer, Zefa's voice interjected/entered obliquely, "Qiantui Baisui, where were you before?"

Slowly walking out of the room, Zefa immediately stopped and stood at a certain distance, looking up and down, gray-blue eyes, full of scrutiny, "After going back to the room to rest, until just now, where were you? "

"Stay with me." Polusalino and Sakalsky replied in unison.

After a pause for a few seconds, the two spoke again at the same time, "To be with him."

After blurting out two identical but diametrically opposite answers, the corners of Polusalino's eyes trembled heavily, his face remained calm, but he began to smile wryly in his heart.

It's really... a tacit understanding that is out of season, hey!

'With me', 'with him', no matter what...Thousands of years are with men, although it is true, but somehow, at this moment, why does it feel so strange?

……

The eyes projected for a moment seemed extremely strange.

Several naval soldiers at the scene, Zefa, Triton, and even the two beauties of Dumuzi, all opened their eyes wide, and their gazes lingered repeatedly, and there was a faint sense of mystery in their eyes.

After a long while, Chisui Baisui, who was also dumbfounded, twitched fiercely, raised his hands to his forehead, and concluded helplessly, "I'm with them."

In the stiff atmosphere that seemed a bit awkward, Polusalino twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at all kinds of eyes, and said shyly, "Yeah~ that's the truth~"

"Century is in our room until Triton knocks on the door." Shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands, Polusalino simply laughed rascally, "Men and women~"

"Shut up, Polusalino." Chitose put down his hand, turned out the dead fish eyes, and pressed the blue veins on his forehead, with an extremely gloomy tone, "So, what else do I need to explain now? Ze—— Fa-teacher-"

When she was talking, she didn't even look at other people, but fixed her eyes on him. Under her murderous gaze, Polusalino raised his hand and scratched his cheek, maintaining an innocent smile.

……

After a moment of silence, Brigadier General Triton took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Half an hour ago, Mrs. Shikoti's maid hurriedly came to ask for help."

When Qiantui Baisui turned his face to look at Triton, Polusalino heaved a sigh of relief, and then turned his gaze.

Brigadier General Triton focused his attention on the woman dressed as a maid at the scene, and said, "I saw Mrs. Shikoti later." As the characters changed between words, his eyes moved to another person.

At the same time, the so-called Mrs. Shikoti, who is also the king's concubine, timidly continued, "His Majesty Atashata admires this lady of the Navy, His Majesty..."

Covering her face with her hands as if not very sad, the woman's tone became choked up, "Your Majesty insisted on seeing this young lady regardless of persuasion, and then I... I had no choice but to invite the Brigadier General."

At this point, he stopped and started crying again.

After waiting quietly for a while, Xu Shi found that the king's favorite concubine didn't seem to have any further explanations, and Qiantui shifted his gaze a few degrees to look at Zefa, "How long did it take from the time a murder happened until the door was broken in? "

She didn't seem to have the patience to wait for the answer, and after a while, she muttered to herself, "According to Mrs. Shikoti, the situation is that His Majesty the King came to knock on the door, and then died in my room..."

Raising his hand and biting his lips, there was a hint of thoughtfulness between the thousand-year-old eyebrows, "A lot of things have been omitted~"

After a brief silence, he sighed softly, and then said in a deep voice, "Then, I, who happened to leave through the window, can't seem to find a reasonable explanation."

……

"No matter what is omitted, or there are unspeakable secrets in it, relying on my one-sided words alone is not convincing enough to clear myself~"

"The locked door, the man who died on the bed... What a murder in a secret room."

"Even if I went out because of climbing the window, and Polusalino and Sakarski testified, there will still be a period of time when I can't tell where I went or can't find any witnesses."

The moment Polusalino wanted to speak, he received a look from a thousand-year-old man, "In the eyes of others, what the man in the room with me said was not true enough."

She raised her lips slightly, smiled casually, and stared at him with a cold and distant look, "Or should I exchange bodies and let two men testify?"

Polusalino narrowed his eyes, clicked his tongue fiercely, his heart burst into anger, but he had to hold it back temporarily.

What Qiantui Baisui said was the truth, and the testimony about him and Sakalski was indeed not strong enough in the eyes of others, but so what?Thousands of years, this idiot!

No matter how displeased Polusalino is, there is nothing he can do at this moment, even if...he can let her escape, and he is not willing to bear the crime if he wants to live a thousand years.

That being the case, he will wait until she clears herself of the suspicion.

Taking a step back, even if she was unable to defend herself, he would still be able to keep her safe in the end.

……

For a moment, the best and worst outcomes were considered in his mind. After that, Polusalino relaxed his tense body, looked at everyone present with a half-smile, and finally stopped his gaze at one point.

Qian Sui Bai Sui, who spoke amazingly a few seconds ago, still had a calm face. He unbuttoned the cuff buttons of his long sleeves with his hands, and slowly rolled up his sleeves. "People in the room leave, give me the toolbox."

"Or first aid kits." While speaking, she walked up to the man standing outside the door, raised her gaze, and quietly looked into Zefa's gray-blue eyes, "Give me a little time, I will tell the teacher the truth, how ?”

Pausing for a few seconds, lowering her voice, she spoke again, "If you are willing to trust, then please give me the initiative."

After a long time, in the uneasy silence, the man nodded expressionlessly, raised his hand, and signaled softly, "Go to the infirmary and find her a first-aid kit."

In the next second, one of the guards standing on one side led away.

After a moment of silence, Qiantui Baisui was out of place, and smiled happily, "Thank you~ Teacher Zefa."

"Thank you for your willingness to believe, I know~ Including Polusalino, for a moment, I was positioned as a 'perpetrator' in their hearts."

"Although no one has revealed it, the confrontation between the two students and Brigadier General Triton, standing here, and the various eyes cast on them, all of them are saying——"

There was a sudden pause when he said this, he turned his face slowly, and his eyes slid over everyone present one by one. Finally, his thin red lips drew a sneering arc, and he said in a manly voice, "Murderer."

Her words made Polusalino's eyes change slightly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously tightened.

After a few seconds, she heard her continue:

"But even so, the two classmates still wanted me to escape. At first, they blocked the door of the cabin to buy time. If I were the murderer, they would break through the window and escape."

"It's really cute~ A classmate who has a strong sense of justice, but also contradicts himself because of mutual friendship."

"Unfortunately, I can't accept their kindness. I won't admit what I haven't done, let alone allow others to impose crimes on me."

"Nobles? Kings? Heh~"

……

The soldiers who left have not yet returned, and the scene seems to have fallen into a strange freeze.

After a long time, Qiantui Baisui said with a smile again, "Let a pregnant woman sit on the ground, men really don't have common sense."

After staring at Brigadier General Triton for a while, she raised her hand and touched his nose in embarrassment, and then said, "Soldiers, go get a chair, or let Mrs. Shikoti go to rest."

Turning her eyes away, she looked at the two ladies at the scene, and then the two women in Dumuzi came back to their senses, and Shikoti was staggered up with the support of her maid.

"No——I'll stay." The king's concubine shook her head slightly, expressing her refusal.

Seeing this, Triton had no choice but to signal to the guards on his side to take a chair with the Maid of Dumuzi, as suggested by Chitose, so that the pregnant woman who insisted on staying could rest.

This living area is allocated to everyone in Dumuzi. Except for the king, concubine, and prime minister, the rest are slaves. The slaves from Dumuzi cannot move freely and are almost all locked in the room.

Mrs. Shikoti's maid holds the key. At this time, if she wants to get things, she can only lead the soldiers to open the door lock of a nearby cabin.

The guard and the maid waited a little further away, the corners of Chitose Baisui curled up, and his voice slowed down, "When we are in the room, let the guards begin to interrogate the maid."

"After leaving the Dumuzi Palace, ask her to explain in detail what she saw."

Chitose Baisui glanced at Brigadier General Triton with a smile, and said in a manly voice, "As for the interrogation method, I believe I don't need to teach it?"

Hearing this, Shikodi opened her eyes wide, her expression was stunned for a moment, "What? You..."

Staring at the king's concubine for a long time, Qiantui shrugged and turned away, "What is the lie, please allow me to keep it a secret for the time being."

In the dead silence, Polusalino took a step and asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you want a first-aid kit for, Bai Sui?"

"I want an autopsy." She smiled very happily.
