The Great Detective of Gensokyo, but surrounded by Shura Field!

"So Rinnosuke used tape to 'stick' the gem under the table, and by moving the table, he was able to bring the gem in and out."

"After all, it's not like Sakuya would check the table she bought..."

【objection!】

Lin Zhizhu's face turned pale as he interrupted:

"Nonsense! You're slandering me! Statements without evidence don't count!"

"You want evidence?"

Chu Bai shook his finger:

"What a coincidence! I actually have evidence."

"The evidence is this—the hexagonal marks under the table!"

"Nani?!!"

Like being hit by a critical hit.

Rinnosuke stepped back repeatedly and fell into a chair.

Chu Bai handed the evidence map to Sakuya:

"The gemstones on the pillars of the hall are all roughly the same shape."

"Just by comparing the marks under the table, we can determine whether it is a gem from the Scarlet Devil Mansion, right?"

"And the gem actually appeared under the table... It completely matches my previous inference."

Sakuya glanced at Rinnosuke.

At this moment, he looked exhausted, as if he had given up struggling.

There's no need to compare, this guy is obviously the "criminal who stole the gem."

"Please wait a moment."

Sakuya reminded:

"Although we didn't pay much attention to this gem and didn't even release any information about it..."

"But finding the culprit in the jewel theft is a pleasant surprise."

"But the main purpose of this trip is to find the culprit in the 'Book Theft Case'. You seem to have strayed from the topic a bit?"

"Don't worry, I'm not off topic."

Chu Bai smiled confidently again:

"Rinnosuke's motive is to make money, and his method of stealing the gems has been revealed."

"So he has no chance of having the energy or interest to steal a few unsellable magic books."

"As for the remaining two porters, being ordinary villagers, even contact became a problem."

"So the culprit who stole the magic book... doesn't actually exist!"

Sherlock Holmes once said that after eliminating the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how bizarre, must be the truth.

Since none of the three suspects could have committed the crime, let's try a different approach.

For example, these magic books were not stolen at all!

"But if it wasn't stolen, why can't I find it?"

The little devil asked:

"I've searched every shelf and corner, but I can't find any clues about the magic book."

"Regarding this...I would like to ask a question first."

Chu Bai pointed to the table in front of him:

"Why did the tables in the Great Library suddenly need to be changed?"

The little devil immediately replied:

"Because the old table had been used for a long time and was badly worn, even the legs were corroded."

"So I ordered a new table according to the original size."

Chu Bai took over the conversation:

"What about the height of the new and old tables? Are they the same?"

The little devil shook his head slightly:

"The new table needs to be slightly lower because we need to correct Patch-sama's sitting posture... eh?"

Suddenly she froze, and seemed to realize something:

"Could it be that……"

"Yes."

Chu Bai smiled slightly:

"The new table is lower than the previous one. For Patchouli, who is physically weak, suddenly having a lower table, especially when she's soundly sleeping, would obviously be very uncomfortable."

“If you feel uncomfortable, you will naturally make adjustments subconsciously.”

"And the scattered magic books around...aren't they the perfect tools?"

He produced the final piece of evidence.

That was the clue of "Patchouli was sleeping soundly" whose meaning had never been known.

“Many people who stay up all night reading have a habit.”

“When I feel sleepy, I use the book at hand as a pillow to sleep.”

"Plus, Patchouli was wearing a loose, pajama-like robe, and the few thin books were 'hidden' by her sleeves and hair. As a familiar, the little devil couldn't possibly open his master's head to search."

"So, to sum up, there's only one truth to the Scarlet Devil Mansion book theft..."

"Those magic books weren't stolen at all. They're in Patchouli's arms, and she's using them as pillows as she sleeps!"

Chapter 12 Scores twice! Miss Remi’s first kiss!

"Ha~yawn~"

The upper floor of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Somewhere in a slightly dim but extremely luxuriously decorated room.

Remlia stretched out her body, her smooth little feet swaying gently along with the little wings behind her:

"Sakuya, it's not dark yet, right? What's the matter that you woke me up so early?"

"My lady, I have completed what you ordered."

The perfect and elegant maid, Sakuya Izayoi, was standing next to Remlia.

"Chu Bai and his team have arrived at the Scarlet Devil Mansion and have solved the book theft case and the gem theft case in succession."

"They are now in the reception hall. You can go see him now."

"Oh, I see……"

Remlia was still a little confused.

But suddenly she reacted and immediately opened her eyes wide:

"Eh? Wait, you mean he's done?"

"Yes, Miss."

"So fast! Are all men this fast?"

"...It depends on the specific situation, but Chu Bai is definitely one of the fastest ones."

Sakuya thought this kind of conversation was a bit strange, a bit like a dirty joke.

But isn’t it a kind of fun to look at the young lady’s ignorant and cute look?

The loyal head maid wiped her nose lightly.

Well, fortunately, no nosebleed this time.

"Sakuya, Karaoke, I need to go meet them!"

Remi was obviously a little anxious. She stood directly on the bed with her petite body and spread her arms.

Sakuya also skillfully took off her clothes and covered her soft and perfect body with new clothes.

First the lining, then the dress, and finally the tempting tender feet as tender as toffee.

The white socks made of high-end fabric wrapped around Remi's little feet like ice cream bags. Her slightly petite feet and perfect arches exuded an alluring charm.

The crystal clear toes stepped on the black high-heeled shoes, and the slight indentation made the ice cream look soft and smooth. Even though Sakuya was not a foot fetishist and had no interest in homosexuality, she was still slightly dazed by the young lady's perfect feet.

I don't know which bastard will be able to become Miss Remi's bed partner in the future and enjoy this treatment that is like a delicacy from heaven...

No, the young lady is still young, only five hundred years old, and premature love is not allowed!

With Sakuya around, no man can succeed!

"Sakuya?"

Remi reminded:

"Time to wash up."

"Good lady."

Sakuya quickly came to her senses and took the yellow duck-shaped wash cup.

While brushing her teeth, Remi asked Sakuya:

"Tell me about the general course of events... Gululu..."

"Yes."

Sakuya immediately explained Chu Bai's reasoning in concise language.

In fact, this incident was "led by her" from beginning to end.

Because the eldest lady had seen Chu Bai a few days ago when she accidentally went to the human world.

At that time, she became interested in Chu Bai and decided to bring him to the Scarlet Devil Mansion for a close observation.

But in order to maintain her dignity, she certainly could not take the initiative to invite him, let alone reveal her inner feelings directly.

Then it was Sakuya's turn to take action.

In fact, Sakuya knew the outcome of this book theft incident from the very beginning.

She could naturally perceive things that the little devil could not perceive. In fact, the magic book had always been in Patch's arms.

However, Sakuya thought that this was a good opportunity to "lure Chu Bai to the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

So she pretended to be ignorant and spread the reward information to a small circle. Then she arranged for Hakurei Reimu, who was close to Chu Bai, to tell Chu Bai the news.

Although the greedy shrine maiden asked for 1,000 yen as a reward, the goal was ultimately achieved.

Chu Bai did come to the Scarlet Devil Mansion and showed talents beyond expectations.

Not only did he figure out the truth behind the book theft, but he also caught the thief, Lin Zhizhu...

"He's really a very capable man."

Sakuya gave such an evaluation.

After washing her face, Remlia proudly put her hands on her hips.

"Of course. After all, he is the one I like."

Finished washing.

Organize your attire.

Standing in front of the mirror, Remlia nodded with satisfaction.
