"Is that detective pretending to be a Kirby?" The development of the incident was so unbelievable that Bilan couldn't help but question.
"That's not the case. Detective Hugo solved the whole case beautifully in the end." The junior Douzi said inscrutably, wagging his index finger like Togepi.
Bilan put her arms on the table, put her index finger on her head and thought for a long time. Finally, she was defeated and had to ask the girl in front of her for advice: "I really don't know what's going on. Please tell me."
"Hey, let me tell you!"
Obviously she was not the detective who solved the case, but the girl with the high ponytail was very proud. She drank the remaining fruit tea in the cup in one breath and continued to describe the incident.
It turned out that after the detective gave up the commission fee, he immediately turned around to investigate his employer. It doesn't matter if you don't check it. If you check it, you will find incredible information.
"What is it?" Bilan's curiosity was aroused, and she leaned forward, looking forward to Douzi's next words.
"The Pokémon that the rich man loves is actually a Tyrannosaurus from the Hoenn region!"
Fortunately, Sister Xiaolan didn't drink coffee at this time, otherwise she would have spit out the drink in her mouth.
"I fully thought that the Pokémon kidnapped by this rich man were small and cute Pokémon like Tinkerbell and Pentacle... I didn't expect that it turned out to be a Tyrannosaurus, which is known for its violent temperament..." She said in shock.
"It's amazing. Hiding a little bit of information about an incident can create such a earth-shaking effect. This seems to be called 'narrative trick' in some novels, where the narrator uses the blind spot of the information receiver to deliberately play with words. game."
Douzi showed off the terms he learned from nowhere, feeling happy that he had deceived Sister Xiaolan.
But under the latter's glare, she finally added: "This trick didn't just deceive you, Xiaolan. In fact, the intelligence the detective first obtained was the same as the incident I first heard about when I first entered the rich man's house. The appearance is also the same as described before."
"The rich man deliberately concealed the information?"
"That's right. The detective gradually discovered clues while investigating the case, so he deliberately admitted failure, gave up the commission fee, and started investigating the rich man himself in an innocent and neutral identity."
"So that's it..."
Just like the twists and turns of the case, Bilan's view of the detective gradually reversed. The figure of the man walking out of the room carrying a fire extinguisher in his memory seemed to be more calm and unrestrained than before.
"The more powerful thing is yet to come. After only a few days, the detective connected all the collected information together. In that country house, he first took out several copies of the airline's itinerary records. He asked the rich man why he went to Fengyuan again and again. He also took out a recording pen, which recorded the confessions of the staff of the bodyguard company that the rich man had hired before. The person in the recording personally admitted that the rich man went to Fengyuan. The purpose is to poach a certain large Pokémon."
"Poaching!" Bilan was shocked by the latest revealed information, "Is the target of poaching the Tyrannosaurus?"
"That's right." Douzi snapped his fingers magnificently, "It turns out that the rich man did not officially tame the Tyrannosaurus, but kept it in a cage as a collection and placed it in a villa that never saw the light of day. In a huge room. According to the rich man's own admission later, he believed that nothing in the world's interior decoration could compare to the placement of a living, super-powerful dragon Pokémon, so he took his bodyguards to Hoenn to capture one. Just put it in a gorgeous cage and watch it every day."
Bilan recalled the actions of Team Rocket's gangsters who wreaked havoc on Kanto in the past, and she couldn't help but spit out a two-word comment in anger: "Scum."
Douzi nodded empathetically and continued to tell the story: "Then the detective started his reasoning in front of the rich man and me. The scene was really exactly the same as the reasoning session in the climax of the crime movie!"
"The rich man didn't kick you out?"
"Of course, but I secretly ran back to the conference room." Douzi smiled.
Bi Lan took a deep breath, decided not to complain about her junior's behavior for the time being, and asked, "What did the detective say at that time?"
"The detective said that he actually perceived the whole story from the very beginning of the case - from the moment he saw the first blackmail letter."
The real story is actually this: A young man who lived near the villa where the rich man hid the Tyrannosaurus witnessed the evil deeds of the rich man imprisoning the Tyrannosaurus. After the rich man left the villa, he secretly sneaked into the rich man's house. At home, the key to the Tyrannosaurus cage was found and the Pokémon was released.
The Tyrannosaurus was freed, and instantly broke the window glass and flew away, leaving the rich man forever.
Originally, this commendable and brave act of justice should have come to an end at this time, but the young man who let go of the Tyrannosaurus looked at the rich man's splendidly decorated villa and felt evil thoughts in his heart.
He found paper and pen in the rich man's study, wrote the content of the blackmail letter on it, and then left the note in the now empty cage containing the Tyrannosaurus.
The detective said at the time: "In the first threatening letter, the extorted money was only a mere one million. This amount may be a huge sum of money in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of a real estate tycoon, it is a drop in the bucket." , it is impossible for a skilled kidnapper to start without understanding the financial situation of the target of blackmail. Therefore, it can be concluded that the person who wrote the blackmail letter is a novice kidnapper, and the entire crime may even be based on a whim. .”
The detective also said that he later started to gossip around the rich man under the pretense of chatting, and finally became convinced that the rich man as his client was actually harboring evil intentions. The reason why he invited the detective instead of the police was precisely because he was worried that his poaching crime would be exposed.
Then here comes the problem. What could happen between a super rookie in the kidnapping world and a poached Pokémon?
Until this moment, Hugo wasn't sure because he didn't know whether the other party was strong enough as a trainer to take away a Tyrannosaurus by force.
"So there was a day when the detective monitored the bench?" Bilan asked.
"That's right, the detective said that he actually didn't miss the moment when the suitcase disappeared. When the little paws of the Pokémon that used "burrowing" stuck out of the ground, the detective identified the type of Pokémon— —That’s an ordinary black-eyed crocodile. Therefore, the person who wrote the threatening letter must be a rookie. "
Dou Zi, who aspires to be a director, tells the story in a grand and ups and downs, and you can vaguely see the eloquent style of the detective himself.
"It is impossible for the trainer with this black-eyed crocodile to kidnap a poached Pokémon - the detective made an instant judgment. In this case, he who let the rich Pokémon go is not essentially a bad person, but let It seems to be a good direction for the rich men who are really involved in poaching crimes to suffer a little."
"So the detective just let the millionaire's one million be taken away by the kidnapper?" Bi Lan opened her eyes in disbelief.
"This is another reason why the detective insisted on returning the commission fee given by the rich man. The detective Hugo once said: The detective should not only solve the case, but when and how to solve the case. This is what the detective should focus on. Point."
"So what did the detective mean when he said 'the real criminal has been punished' at the beginning?" Bi Lan thought of a detail and asked the junior carefully.
"As you might imagine, the real criminal is not the young man who wrote the ransom note, but the real estate tycoon who committed the crime of poaching wild Pokémon!"
Bilan finally understood Douzi's evaluation of the detective and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the detective is indeed somewhat reliable..."
"Then, when the young man sent the ransom note for the second time, the detective realized that the time had come for him to take action. It was obvious that the intimidator did not appreciate the detective's kindness, and instead became more greedy. If we continue to allow him to enjoy the fruits of his unearned efforts at this time, we will undoubtedly allow an originally kind-hearted young man to embark on the road to crime."
"Therefore, he asked to see the rich man and confessed the previous incidents, hoping to use the rich man's hands to punish the young man appropriately. Presumably at that time, the detective used the rich man's poaching incident as a pretext to blackmail him, right?" Bi Lan So speculated.
"As expected of Sister Xiaolan, that's it!" Douzi said with admiration.
"'As expected of Sister Xiaolan,' you have said this countless times today." Bilan smiled bitterly, and then looked out the window at Yuqi Mansion. Is that where she will stay overnight? Thinking of the detective story, she couldn't help but look forward to her future life in the Hezhong area.
Probably, it won’t be boring, right?
