"Something suspicious?" Youlandel recalled: "Speaking of which, when I returned to my room last night, I heard a strange noise coming from the kitchen. I walked over and found that the refrigerator door seemed to be open. Xiaoxuan was lying there secretly eating ice cream. Does this count?"
Before Youlandel could finish her words, the Cangxuan Book interrupted her recollections.
"Okay, okay, stop talking. I swear, those things have nothing to do with this case. Next one!"
Feeling guilty, Cang Xuan Zhishu pulled her great detective Elm Head and ran out of the observation room in a panic. She couldn't let this "honest knight who never lies" continue talking. If she continued, she was afraid that all her little secrets would be revealed by him.
Looking at the two people's backs as they left, Yulandel's tense body relaxed a little.
Under the interrogation of Fu Hua and Cang Xuan Zhi Shu, it was too difficult for her to conceal the story between Mr. Xia Yuan and Rita. She could only do this much. From now on, she could only hope that Mr. Xia Yuan would not reveal any flaws...
Obviously, something else seemed to have happened when Youlandel carried Xia Yuan to the infirmary.
But this was the only thing she wanted to keep secret in her heart. She didn't want to tell anyone what happened in the infirmary, not even her cheap dad, not even Kiana, not even her adjutant Rita...
Next suspect: Xi'er Fule'ai

[A simple and gullible dessert addict]
Chapter 540 Xi'er's Confession
Although she is gentle and kind, she is easily exploited by bad people. She is the type who might even help others count their money after being sold. Just a small piece of cake can open her mouth. In short... she is very naive and easy to deceive.
"Eh? Is this for me?"
Looking at the vanilla ice cream dessert in front of her, Xier's sky-blue pupils suddenly flickered.
"Thank you...thank you."
Xier placed the dessert on the table that had been polished to a shine, "Sweet food always makes people feel at ease."
"Don't be nervous, Xi'er."
Fu Hua tried to calm the other person down, but Xiao Xuan, the victim sitting next to Mumutou, didn't look like a victim at all. He ate the dumplings that Rita had prepared not long ago to satisfy the glutton.
"I'm sorry, ever since everyone watched the film 'Hoom's Nightmare' produced by Xiao Yuan and Sister Bronya last night, I've been feeling a little uneasy..." Seele began to recall.
In the afternoon——
She was reading a book in the room, while Miss Heixi was playing games on the double bed, swinging her chubby legs back and forth.
"Please, other me."
A very familiar sound was faintly heard from the game console, the classic "I play by myself", "Gurgle, gurgle", Miss Heixi suddenly seemed to remember something, and climbed up from the double bed with a bang.
Xier heard the movement behind her and subconsciously asked, "Another me, are you going out?"
"I'm hungry. Go to the kitchen and get some food. Do you want me to bring it to you?"
"How about, let's go together?" Xier hesitated for a moment, her little hands clinging to the corner of the chair.
"Eh? Xier, are you afraid to stay in the room alone because you watched a horror movie?" Miss Heixi couldn't help but tease.
She really missed the time when she and Xier shared the same body, and the way Xier was bullied to the point of being shy was really memorable. Of course, the only one who could bully Xier was herself. If others dared to bully Xier, they had to first ask her sickle whether it agreed.
“No…no.”
"Okay, okay, I'll be back soon. Just wait for me in your room." Miss Hei Xi, standing in the aisle of the ship, looked at Xi'er lovingly, like a sister. Of course, as to whether she was really hungry, only she knew it.
She didn't go to visit the bad guy, she just passed by his room on the way to the kitchen, went to his room to teach him a lesson, and dragged the bad guy to the screening room to watch a horror movie.
After Miss Heixi left, Xier waited in the room.
Her eyes were fixed on the direction of the door, but she never saw the other person appear.
"The other me has been gone for so long, why hasn't he come back yet?"
Xier seemed a little worried and planned to go out to look for the other person, but she went to the kitchen, entertainment room, restaurant... but couldn't find any trace of him. As a result, when she was about to reach the warehouse, the gravity system seemed to have some kind of malfunction.
Fu Hua, who was sitting opposite him, looked at the confession recorded in the notebook and nodded.
Xier's explanation was consistent with what Yulandel said, the spacecraft did experience a period of gravity imbalance.
"At that time, I wanted to go to the control room as soon as possible."
"Who? Who's over there?!"
But when she turned around and looked back, a dark figure flashed by, and then suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye. She thought of the horror movie "Hoom!" produced by her sister Bronya and Xiao Yuan.
The black shadow that looked like Mr. Hoom in the movie made Xier shiver.
"Xiao Yuan, is that you? Xiao Yuan?"
She mistook the shadow for Xiao Yuan, but before he could respond, he suddenly disappeared into the aisle of the ship.
"I felt very scared... so I hurried back to the restaurant until Xiao Xuan came over and said we needed an emergency assembly." This is roughly what happened. Xier held the vanilla ice cream on the table and narrated her experience to Fu Hua and Xiao Xuan.
Xier picked up the ice cream dessert with both hands. It seemed that only the ice cream dessert on the table could make her feel at ease.
"Then Xier, have you seen the Houmu doll I threw away near the control room?"
Xiao Xuan looked at Xier eagerly.
"No...no."
Xier suddenly turned her head away, not daring to look at the two people sitting opposite her.
"Oh, what a pity. We are only one step away from finding the truth and catching the murderer." Xiao Xuan sighed and took another bite of the steamed bun to calm his nerves.
"Sorry....I'm sorry."
Xier felt that she was of no help.
"From what we can see so far, someone has indeed entered the warehouse. The black shadow you saw, Xier, is very likely the key clue to solving this case." Combined with the confession provided by the other party, Mr. Xia Yuan, who played the role of Houmu, is very likely one of the key suspects who knocked Xiaoxuan unconscious.
"Then Xi'er, did you find another Xi'er who is... dark, fierce, and not cute at all?"
Faced with the description in the Cang Xuan Book, Xier shook her head.
"No, I've been waiting for her in the restaurant because she told me in the room that she was hungry."
Fu Hua and Xiao Xuan, who were sitting opposite each other, looked at each other and found a common suspect in each other's eyes - Miss Hei Xi.
He said he was hungry, but he never ate in the restaurant, which undoubtedly made him a possible criminal. Coupled with his violent personality, he had the motive to knock Xiao Xuan unconscious. His motive and suspicion for committing the crime were far higher than that of Mr. Xia Yuan.
After Xier left anxiously holding the ice cream dessert...Fu Hua and Xiao Xuan began to interrogate another Xier.
"Humph, tell me the truth, why didn't you eat in the restaurant? Where did you go during that time?"
Cang Xuan Zhishu slapped the edge of the long table heavily with his small hand.
Miss Hei Xi was enjoying her chili ice cream, but she became impatient with Xiao Xuan's interrogation tone. She crossed her legs, raised her head and said in defense:
"Huh? What's there to explain? I didn't go to the restaurant just because I wasn't hungry anymore, and Xier couldn't find me just because I wanted to wander around. What's the problem?"
Miss Hei Xi turned her head away proudly, looking down on the little detective and the dull-headed man sitting opposite her, as if she would not submit to anyone except Xier.
【twin】
[A bad kid with a hard mouth and a soft heart]——Xier Fuleai (red)
"Although the name is the same, this Xi'er is much more difficult to deal with. She has many ideas, a bad temper, and loves to play pranks."
Chapter 541 Hey, Xier’s number one cook!
"But even such a troublesome guy has weaknesses."
Xiao Xuan kept the question mysterious.
"That's... Hehe, Xi'er's number one cook!"
"Just like me pushing the blockhead, that guy's obsession with Seele is even stronger than Bronya's love for the Homunculus doll. In a sense, the person who likes me the most is of course me, and there is absolutely no fault to be found in using this word on Seele."
When Xiao Xuan introduced Miss Hei Xi's identity as a single promoter...
Fu Hua, who was standing beside her, saw the boy sitting opposite her, with his head turned away and his face raised, looking as if he didn't want to communicate with the older generation. She couldn't help but think of her own Xiao Shi. She sighed helplessly. It turned out that every family has its own problems, but it was not completely impossible to communicate.
"Ahem, I think you should have noticed it, Miss Hei Xi, right? Since the incident happened... Xier has been feeling a little uneasy. It would be great if we could find out the truth as soon as possible."
The corners of Fu Hua's mouth inadvertently curled up slightly, and Cang Xuan Zhishu beside her widened his eyes in disbelief. He didn't expect that the old antique who had been a blockhead all day long would actually come up with such a clever idea and could actually come up with such a method to force the other party to speak. It turned out that handling cases requires a flexible bottom line.
As expected by Cangxuan Book——
Miss Hei Xi, who was the sole promoter of [No. 1 Chef] Xier, finally spoke after a series of intense struggles in her heart.
"Okay, okay, I'll just confess, okay?"
She clapped her hands on the table, and it was obvious that Miss Hei Xi had gone through a struggle in her heart. Xiao Xuan beside her secretly gave a thumbs up to the wooden-headed girl and silently praised her. Her wooden-headed girl was becoming more and more enlightened~
"Actually, I went to the screening room at that time, hoping to find some movies to watch..."
"Huh? Homunculus? This Leon? Why are there so many weird movies?" Miss Heixi threw the "Leon" in her hand aside. What she was looking for was a horror movie that could scare the bad guys into hiding under their quilts.
Xiao Xuan wanted to continue listening to the other party talk about her experience, but Miss Hei Xi suddenly fell silent, and the two of them stared at each other.
"This, this is gone?"
"No more." Miss Heixi answered decisively.
"After leaving the screening room, where else did you go, Miss Heixi?" Fu Hua's keen intuition told her that during this blank period of time, the other party definitely had enough time to commit the crime.
"Humph, it has nothing to do with you."
But obviously, Miss Heixi didn't want to speak to the two people in front of her. How could she tell them that she had secretly gone to see the bad guy and forcibly dragged him to the entertainment room to watch a horror movie?
Xiao Xuan stretched out her index finger and pointed at Ms. Hei Xi, who was sitting opposite her with her legs crossed, with an attitude that Xi'er was first and she was second.
"Suspicious, really suspicious!"
Faced with Xiao Xuan's questioning, Miss Hei Xi finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up. She stood up from the sofa with a "Duang". The sudden action frightened the trembling Xiao Xuan and she quickly hugged Fu Hua beside her. If it weren't for the wooden head beside her, she really didn't dare to interrogate the other party like this.
Sometimes, Cang Xuan Zhi Shu really wondered if the other party was secretly taking revenge on him and knocked him out.
"You actually doubt me? Why don't you go ask that Theresa? During lunch, she said she had too much work to do and would be working overtime in the office all afternoon, but she was sneaking around the corridor. Humph, go ask her. If you bother me again, don't blame me for being rude."
Miss Heixi left angrily, but of course she did not forget to take the chili ice cream on the table before leaving.
But is the truth of the matter really as simple as she said?
Ms. Hei Xi, who was trying to take advantage of the situation, just wanted to divert the attention of the two people and didn't want them to focus all their attention on her. The damn bad guy actually... actually mistook me for Bronya and did such an excessive thing to me. This account is not settled yet!
Ms. Hei Xi covered her bulging belly to hide her physical discomfort.
"What are you thinking about, you stupid guy? Do you also think that the other party is very suspicious? But let's find Theresa first."
Because she was afraid...
If I continue to ask questions, the other party, who has a bad temper and is not easy to deal with, will beat me up and there will be no one to reason with me. I am afraid that I will have to call him Grandma Heixi, oh no, Aunt Heixi, before he will stop.
As for the Blockhead, she could expect him to investigate the case, but she could not expect him to stand up for her. Given his character, he would definitely stand between her and Xier and act as a peacemaker.
Before Fu Hua and Xiao Xuan were about to visit Bishop Theresa at the ship's office...
Cuckoo - cuckoo -
The small red kite clock hanging on the wall began to reverse, and time quietly returned to the moment when Xia Yuan just came out of the infirmary.
"Hiss, I thought I should be full of energy after drinking the Chinese wolfberry tea made by Rita, but why do I feel something wrong with my waist today? I feel a little out of shape. Is it because I can't get used to sleeping on the double bed on the ship? Or is it because Ellie, who always likes to kick the quilt when sleeping, arches under me from time to time like a pink pig?"
Xia Yuan was standing in front of the infirmary, stretching his body, with a big Band-Aid on his forehead.
Yulandel lay in front of the wall of the infirmary and listened carefully. She certainly knew why Mr. Xia Yuan felt pain in his waist, but she could not explain to him what irreparable mistake her adjutant had made.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xia Yuan... Please forgive me, I really can't say it."
Yulandel, who has a chivalrous character, expressed shame for her current behavior.
"Dale, thank you for bandaging my wound. I will repay you later when I have time, because right now a hungry fairy is waiting for her sandwich."
Xia Yuan showed the bamboo basket in his hand to the other party.
Perhaps he thought of something, and handed a sandwich to the blushing knight behind him. He wanted to thank the knight for stopping the bishop before, so that he could move freely on the ship.
"If you don't mind, please accept this sandwich. I'll be leaving first~"
Yulandel stared at the other person's gradually receding back in a trance. When she came to her senses, she subconsciously took a small bite. The taste seemed to be even better than the one made by Chef Qian in the [Houm Restaurant].
