Bi Lan and Dou Zi looked at each other.
"You mean these people deliberately put on a show in front of Sister Lan? Did the little boy and his mother originally intend to extort money?"
"That's not the case." The detective shook his head, "The course of the incident is not complicated. The reason why there are incomprehensible contradictions is just because there is something wrong with the perspective from which you, as the parties involved, viewed the incident."
Hugo arranged the packaging bags and drink cans on the table into a block pattern, and pointed his slender fingers at the entrance of the dead end alley.
"This is where Bilan witnessed the Warrior Eagle."
He pointed to the back of the entrance——
"This is where the little boy appeared."
"What does this mean?" Bilan couldn't help but ask, "The child did appear behind me after I saw the Warrior Eagle. He testified that I was the first to walk into the alley after the Warrior Eagle. human beings, but what does that mean?”
"This means that the child can only arrive at the scene after you." The detective emphasized the word "only".
"That boy loudly denounced you as the murderer. Since he cares so much about the warrior eagle, it is absolutely impossible for him to watch the eagle fly into the deep alley and remain indifferent. It is even less possible for him to stand at the entrance of the alley and count on his fingers. If a few people come in and out, he will definitely..."
Hugo's fingers slipped through the gaps in the street model: "Go straight to the crime scene."
Bilan still couldn't understand and looked directly into the detective's eyes.
"But he didn't do that. This can only be because he couldn't, couldn't, and didn't have the conditions to walk into the alley that was only a few steps away." Hugo took out his finger from the simple map, just like the little boy who was represented Disappearing out of thin air in the alley, "At the same time, he can ensure that he monitors the people entering and exiting the alley."
"Why?" A confused Douzi asked loudly, swinging his high ponytail, "Is there a glass cover that shuts the boy inside?"
"oh!"
A cry of surprise came from Bilan. The confusion was gone from her eyes.
"There is indeed such a glass cover!" Bilan said, "The residential building next to it has an open-air elevator."
"That's right." Hugo snapped his fingers. He seemed to be used to praising his companions who followed his line of reasoning.
"Only this explanation can rationalize all the contradictions Bilan witnessed - that is, the place where the little boy was standing before entering the dead alley was not the street outside, nor the alley where the crime occurred, but the place where he could witness the alley entrance from a high position. The glass elevator. Because of this, when taking the elevator, the child could only watch the entrance of the deep alley where the warrior eagle flew into, and then arrived in the alley one step away to check the situation."
Hugo said in a teacher-like tone: "Your previous misunderstanding was to view confined spaces from a flat perspective."
"In fact, in Feiyun City, where there are many high-rise buildings, even a dead end street still has countless entrances and exits, which are the windows of the building. Most of these windows are tightly closed, and under the smoke and dust, a few scattered windows are of course open. It’s easy to be ignored. This is not a shameful thing, height and field of view determine that we tend to ignore things that are not at the same latitude as us.”
After thinking for a long time, Douzi finally showed a look of realization and made a bold deduction: "Did the murderer escape through the open window above the dead end alley?"
"No." Bilan and the detective said in unison.
Hugo made a ladies-first gesture, and Bilan said directly: "It's not that the warrior eagle flew into the dead alley in search of the child, but the boy chased the warrior eagle and came to the scene."
"That's right, the reason for the Pokémon's injury is self-evident." Hugo sighed.
Bilan added details of the scene: "At that time, I saw many garbage dumps nearby, including fragments of Poké Balls."
It seems that once the logic is sorted out, various clues will jump out of the mud one after another like mud fish on a rainy day.
However, Douzi still didn't understand what it meant.
"In short." Finally, the detective revealed the final answer, "This mystery is actually a Pokémon falling from a building."
This is actually a simple story, or rather, an accident.
A little boy playing by the window accidentally let the Poke Ball fall out of the window. Warrior Eagle had no time to escape from the ball and fell to the ground and was seriously injured. The little boy hurriedly took the elevator downstairs to check the situation and saw his elder sister who had arrived at the scene first.
...It was you who killed Yingying!
The little boy naively thought that the warrior eagle had wings and could remain unscathed even if it fell from a high altitude. However, he did not notice that the elf ball had been shattered into pieces on the garbage pile next to him. How could the eagle break out of the ball before it could open up? Fly its strong wings?
Since the Warrior Eagle was not injured due to falling from the building, the culprit who caused it to be seriously injured and dying, bleeding all over the ground, could only be the big sister who was the first to arrive after the incident. He saw clearly from behind the glass of the elevator that no one except the eldest sister had ever walked into the alley.
Of course he was a child who was separated from his family, but he left home on his own initiative. Only children who run out of home in a hurry will wear loose clothes like pajamas...
"This is exactly why the mother slapped her son at that time." Hugo added, "No parent will show mercy to a child who has caused such a disaster."
After the reasoning was completed and the mystery was revealed, the two ladies across the table fell into silence once again.
"There is another question." As if she remembered something, Bilan opened her mouth to break the awkward atmosphere, "According to this explanation, the only criminal who hurt the Warrior Eagle should be the child. This can even be regarded as a pity. An accident is fine. Why did Hugo You say that there was a murderer in this incident? And there were three more? And there were three parties involved: the mother, the child, and the elf?"
Faced with three consecutive questions, Hugo sighed again and looked at the already cold pizza on the table with some regret: "It seems that I accidentally said too much. It's enough to stop here." ”
"No!" Blue eyes were piercing. She had never been so passionate about anything except the battle between elves. "I want to find out the truth."
Douzi on the side shouted, "Me too!" He raised his hands to urge Hugo.
"Although it is okay to interpret this as an accident, such an accident is still too coincidental, not to mention there is a very obvious irrationality." The detective reluctantly restarted his reasoning.
"There are two coincidences. There are more than one windows in the house. Why did Warrior Eagle's Poké Ball happen to fall out of the window facing the dead end alley? And this dead end alley is usually rarely visited, and it is also a blind spot in the view of people on the street. .”
Hugo lowered his voice and continued: "Also, why is the Pokémon in the Pokémon ball a warrior eagle with wings and the ability to fly? You must know that if the Pokémon in the ball are other types of Pokémon, facing This kind of fall from a high-rise building can't wait for Bilan's first aid - it can only end up being shattered to pieces."
The girls couldn't help but shudder. They finally smelled the conspiracy.
"Where is the unreasonableness?" Bilan stared deeply at the detective, as if to say that she was ready to face the truth.
"Time." Hugo said, "The time from when Ibrahimovic discovered the anomaly to when you arrived at the scene. It's too long."
"What's the meaning?"
"If that family lived on a low floor, the child would not take the elevator at all, but would run directly down the stairwell. If they only lived on a high floor like the 5th to 10th floor, the child would have Arriving at the alley before you came to the scene. But he was still in the elevator at that time..."
"This means that the child's home is at least thirty floors above. Only with this number of floors will it take so much time." The person who answered was Douzi. She was familiar with Feiyun City and finally made the correct reasoning, "Feiyun City There are very few buildings with less than twenty floors, especially on the commercial street we were visiting, where the average number of floors is thirty-five.”
"Then the unreasonableness appears. On the 30th floor, at a distance of about a hundred meters, the Warrior Eagle has nearly five seconds to escape from the Poké Ball."
Hugo suddenly stopped talking, but time still passed by minute by second.
One, two, three, four, five.
Five whole seconds.
Silence stretched the time extremely long.
"It's been too long." Bilan sighed. At this time, she already knew the answer to the mystery.
"Yeah, it's been too long." Hugo nodded.
"This time was originally enough for the warrior eagle to fly in the sky, but it didn't do it." Bilan's eyes were sad and her voice was angry, "It's just because the child's parent wanted to teach her son a lesson."
"Yes, the parents of the child in this incident probably deliberately placed a Poké Ball containing the Warrior Eagle next to the window facing the dead alley in order to correct their son's bad habits. When the young and ignorant child accidentally put it When the Poké Ball is pushed out of the window, the falling Warrior Eagle will leave an unforgettable memory for the child, and he will never play dangerous games next to the window again.”
"What a cruel education method." Douzi couldn't help but sigh.
Hugo continued: "Regardless of this educational concept, I think that in the mother's original plan, the warrior eagle will not be injured, because in Douzi's description, the mother's performance at that time was very surprised and... Sad, right?”
The detective looked at Bilan to confirm.
"I don't think that's acting." Bilan said.
"So, the last murderer who caused this case appeared, and that was the warrior eagle. It was its pride that broke its wings and threw it until it was seriously injured and dying."
Hugo opened his Pokédex, and a funny electronic synthesized sound sounded in the restaurant of Yu Qi Di.
"Warrior Eagle has a brave character that is not even afraid of death. It is a brave and proud Pokémon. It is a brave and courageous aerial warrior, also known as the warrior of the sky. It will fight for its partners regardless of danger, no matter how injured it is. Will give up fighting and be proud of it. The more injuries the warrior eagle has on the front, the braver it is, while the one with more injuries on the back will be looked down upon in the group..."
Bilan and Douzi seemed to be able to hear the dripping blood between the lines of the illustrations.
"In the mother's original plan, the warrior eagle was supposed to lie down on the ground and pretend to be seriously injured, closing its eyes and pretending to be comatose in front of the crying little master who was ashamed and remorseful - but it rejected such a script and resolutely He spent the five seconds of free fall in a ground posture until he finally ejected the ball due to instinct, but by this time it was too late."
The reasoning Hugo tells is so tragic and tragic. It is obvious that all these reasonings are completely baseless, but the story-like words coming out of the detective's mouth are full of weird reality.
"The pre-dinner games are over, let's eat." Hugo clapped his hands loudly, "There are still two hot pizzas in the oven, start eating quickly, the elves are starving."
