Napping for too long will make you less energetic.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Bilan looked like she had not woken up. She moved slowly to the detective office on the first floor. When she looked up, she saw Hugo who looked like he was going out in a white suit.
The new detective assistant was a little surprised, so he couldn't help but ask: "Hugo, where are you planning to go?"
The detective pulled out a heavy-looking metal cane from the shelf at the door, and while waving it in the air, he replied: "Deer Town, Dr. Yew's research institute, there is a commission there."
Bilan, who was still lazy at first, suddenly became energetic: "Is there a case happening?"
Hugo shook his head, whether at the question or at the cane.
He changed to a yellow wooden staff with a round head carved into the shape of a fairy ball. This one seemed lighter than the previous one.
The detective seemed very satisfied. After playing with it twice, he put the stick on the ground with an elegant and skillful gesture.
"It's just an interesting little incident. Although it looks a bit weird, I think it can be easily solved in less than two glances as long as you see the institute site once."
Bilan stared at Hugo's cane, her head already full of question marks: "Isn't it convenient for you to walk? Why do you choose a cane as if you are preparing to go out to fight?"
The detective glanced sideways at the girl and asked, "When you trainers usually pass by the grass, do wild Pokémon with no eyes often jump out to fight with you?"
"That's right. It's natural."
"Just to be able to drive away guys like this at any time, I carry a cane with me."
"But why don't you use Pokémon to drive them away... Oh, that's right, you have that kind of physique..."
Although it still feels weird, Bilan has begun to accept the setting that "strange things will happen when Hugo comes into contact with Pokémon".
"Although it is not as good as Pokémon that can use skills, this cane is enough to drive away those wild elves. In addition, if I need to pass through an area with many wild elves, I will spray insecticide spray in advance."
Bi Lan was ashamed: "Life without elves is really difficult... But you can take me with you. Didn't you recognize me this morning?"
"It is precisely because you have become a member of the detective agency that you have another task." Hugo wrote lightly.
Seeing the serious expression on the detective's face, the girl was a little frightened: "Could it...could it be related to the autopsy again?"
"There is no rush for teaching in that area for the time being. Listen carefully, your task is -"
Bilan looked attentive, and then heard a strange order from the director of the office: "Come to the Yew Research Institute alone around ten o'clock tomorrow, and tell me what you see and hear along the way."
.
Hugo, who was going out, met up with Douzi, who was also ready to go, and the two walked towards the station together.
"Is it really okay for me to stay at your house today?" The somewhat worried detective asked Douzi, whose hometown was the destination they were going to, Luzi Town.
"It's no problem at all. I've already called my mother to inform her. She was very happy to hear that my detective friend was visiting." Douzi said with a hearty smile.
Recalling Douzi's mother, the image of a smart and capable social master emerged in Hugo's mind. This trip to Luzi Town was just the time to settle some trivial matters at work...
Hugo suddenly began to inquire about the situation in Douzi's hometown——
"I have always found it strange when I say it. Obviously Luzi Town and Feiyun City are both coastal cities. Why are the development conditions of the two places so different? Feiyun City has a huge amount of goods moved up and down the port every day. With ship transportation It has become the most developed city in Hezhong; but Luzi Town, which also faces the sea to the south, seems to be somewhat neglected, and is still a secluded small village to this day?"
"Haha, of course you don't know if you are not a local of Luzi Town."
When talking about her hometown, Douzi naturally knew everything, so she immediately explained——
"To the south of Luzi Town is the notorious No. 17 Waterway. This waterway is fast and complex, and can be called a maze in the water. Not to mention ship transportation, even experienced water trainers will have a hard time venturing there. Therefore. There is no serious water route in Luzi Town."
"So, if you want to reach your hometown, the only public transportation option is the railway?"
"Yes, and you can only take the railway to the nearby Tangcao Town, and then walk to us. In addition, trainers who can use "Flying Technique" can also fly directly to the town, but there are no rare Pokémon near Luzi Town. Even if Dr. Yew's research institute was there, not many trainers would fly over. "
"It's like a small isolated village." Hugo sighed.
Douzi shrugged: "Who says it's not the case? My hometown is known as 'a farm town where the kind-hearted tide indicates something is blowing'. It's just like the stage where the protagonist in a role-playing game debuts."
Hugo responded with the same words: "Who says otherwise?"
.
As the two chatted, the spectacular Feiyun City Railway Station was already in sight. Hugo came to the ticket office and showed the conductor a black ticket with a gold edge.
After the station staff saw it, they immediately invited the two people to a special waiting room and arranged seats in the first-class carriage of the next direct train. There was even a waiter pushing a trolley to deliver drinks.
"I have decided that I will take Hugo with me every time I go on a long journey from now on." In the train waiting room, Douzi leaned against the sofa cushions and drank iced juice, squinting his eyes in contentment.
"I don't have time to accompany you around Manhezhong. We happened to be traveling together today, and this black card can be used a number of times per month, so it can't support your extravagant wishes of picking up railway company wool and free travel. .”
"Damn you were seen through." Douzi shook his fist angrily.
Hugo played with the black ticket and felt the tough matte touch. He couldn't help but recall the situation when he "alone" tracked the subway bombing in June last year.
At that time, he warned the railway company several times but received no response. In desperation, he had no choice but to "borrow" the flower rock monster and sea rabbit in the backyard of Bamboo Orchid to fight crime. Although under the negative state of Hugo's "bad luck" causal law, the arrester There were several twists and turns in the arrest of the bomber, but the case was finally resolved smoothly.
After the incident, Hugo gave a subtle hint to the two train conductors who came belatedly. In a few words, he conveyed that "the mysterious trainer who defeated the criminal was the rescuer invited by Detective Hugo." meaning.
Since his previous warning letter was indeed sent to the railway company, the company that had unknowingly avoided huge trouble was naturally extremely grateful to this uninvited detective.
The huge reward given to Hugo by the railway company completely resolved the detective's financial crisis. At that time, he had just moved into Yuqi Residence and was preparing for a detective agency with great ambitions. It was a time when he was spending money like water.
In addition, the two brothers Beishang and Nanxia also gave Hugo this black truck ticket as a private gift. This ticket allows Hugo to use the public transportation system of Hezhong Railway Company for free for life. The car can carry one companion, but there is a limit on the number of uses per month. After reaching the limit, Hugo can still ride at a 50% discount on the fare, and during this period, ticket holders will have priority in first-class carriages. Luxurious treatment.
To be honest, the practical value of this ticket is no less than the previous huge reward, not to mention its collection value in the eyes of train fanatics. The train conductor brothers thanked the detective from the bottom of his heart for his help.
"Hugo, the train has arrived!"
There were cheers from the keen-eyed Douzi on the side, and the melodious whistle sounded in the distance. The detective stopped his racing thoughts and it was time to get in the car.
