The culprit is among the four.
Following the detective's announcement, the researchers who were originally sharing the same hatred suddenly became silent and looked at each other suspiciously.
"Um...Mr. Hugo, I discovered the reason why I chose the water otter. Can you tell me here?"
While everyone fell into a brief silence, Bi Lan obediently raised her hand to ask the detective a question like a student in class.
The detective was not surprised. He looked as if he had expected it. He didn't know if he was pretending or if he was really aware of it.
Hugo nodded calmly: "Please tell me about that bad trick like a joke. It's better for you to uncover the mystery. Let these guys with their brains full of calculation formulas and experimental reports see the skills of the detective assistants." .”
With a little nervousness about speaking in public, Bilan cleared her throat and said slowly: "The anomaly that occurred when the trainer selected the initial elves is actually related to the unique geographical location of the institute. It is precisely because of the unique location and environment of Luzi Town that Someone with a good heart has implemented some kind of plan.”
I don’t know who I learned it from, Bilan deliberately used a roundabout way of saying it.
"When I started planning to go to the Yew Research Institute yesterday, I opened the Hezhong map and found the location of Luzi Town. At this time, I discovered that the public transportation around Hezhong leading to Luzi Town has a common feature. That is, the terminal station is located in Tangcao Town near the town, whether it is railway or bus transportation.
In addition, of course there is no airport in this small town, and the waterway to the south is complicated and impassable, and neither air nor waterway is accessible - in other words, people cannot reach the yew trees directly without the help of cars or flying. graduate School. "
As her thoughts continued to integrate, Bilan felt that the originally vague answer was emerging more and more clearly before her eyes, which was different from the so-called reasoning she had made in the hospital last time. This time, as the explanation progressed, Bilan became more and more confident.
"Please think about it, what kind of people are the trainers who come to the research institute to pick up Pokemon? Those trainers who have just embarked on their journey and come to the research institute to pick up their first Pokemon, naturally they cannot They have elves who master the "flying technique", and of course they can't drive as minors, and they certainly won't let others drive them directly to the entrance of the institute if they aim to travel alone. So, I came to the conclusion - "
The girl took a deep breath and continued: "All trainers who come to the institute to pick up the initial elves will definitely arrive at the railway terminal in Tangcao Town before they find the institute."
Watching Bi Lan explain his thoughts in a coherent manner, the detective nodded with satisfaction.
"Because the novice trainers who have not received the elves without exception arrived at Tangcao Town first, and then want to continue to the research institute. If they want to reach their destination smoothly, they must pass through a road called Route 1. Straight road.
This road connects Tangcao Town and Luzi Town. It is wide and beautiful. The Pokémon nearby are all weak and not aggressive. As long as they do not actively enter the grass, even ordinary people can pass smoothly..."
The girl's voice echoed in the hall of the institute, whether it was the detective Hugo, the anxious researchers, Dr. Yew watching the show as if it was nothing to do, the fascinated and confident water otter, the confused Nuannuan pig and Vine snakes, all creatures are listening to Bilan's reasoning.
"But it was along the way that these trainers witnessed something the same, and under the influence of this thing, these novices ended up making the same choice."
"What do you want to say?" the assistant wearing glasses couldn't help but urge. "What does this have to do with trainers choosing water otters?"
Really, isn't the answer obvious? Bilan thought.
The reasons that make trainers not choose other than water otters, the reasons that make trainers reluctant to choose Vine Snake and Nuan Nuan Pig, besides that, what else can there be?
After all, they are trainers. When you see something like that, how could you choose any other spirit besides the water otter?
"What these newbies see is what they're going to see."
Facing the confused researcher, Bilan gently gave the answer.
"What they saw were groups of warm pigs and vine snakes in the grass."
Silence, even worse than the previous silence, enveloped the institute.
The mystery that had puzzled everyone in the institute for half a year was suddenly resolved with such a concise sentence. Even Dr. Yew, who was suspected of having communicated with the detective in advance, was stunned with surprise.
Things are rare and valuable. Since two of the three types of elves you will receive can be found everywhere, why should trainers choose the latter?
There are vine snakes and warm pigs everywhere. After I can capture the elves, I can come near Route 1 at any time to catch them.
In the eyes of trainers who don't understand the rarity of various Pokémon, this is not a "choose one of Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle" situation at all.
It's a multiple-choice question like "Choose one of Bulbasaur, Bobo, and Rattata". There is no need to hesitate at all. There is an optimal answer.
"This... this is impossible!" The person who spoke was a researcher who looked like an uncle. "There are absolutely no Vine Snakes or Nuan Nuan Pigs near Luzi Town! I am an expert in the ecology of Pokémon nearby. I swear outside the research institute There are absolutely no wild vine snakes and warm pigs.”
"In addition to wild Pokémon, there are also domestic Pokémon. In addition to the research institute, there are also domestic Pokémon." Bilan said sternly, "Those initial Pokémon seen by the trainers were actually created by the research institute. Someone was deliberately released from the backyard of the institute!"
The girl originally didn't want to appear domineering, but the atmosphere at the scene and the unfolding reasoning pushed her to involuntarily point her index finger at everyone in the institute.
“As I mentioned before, novice trainers must pass through Route 1 if they want to reach the institute, and members of the institute can know in advance the time when the trainer will arrive.
Therefore, the culprit among the researchers can accurately place the warm pigs and vine snakes originally raised in the backyard of the institute on the path that the trainers must pass. Moreover, there are usually no trainers on Route 1, so there is no need to worry about the elves who come out to show off being captured and attrited. "
The hustle and bustle is even louder indoors. Hugo, who was standing at the entrance of the hall behind the girl, nodded with satisfaction when he saw this scene. At the same time, he looked at the panicked people in the institute with a playful look.
Bilan continued: "Listen to me, people like trainers are actually surprisingly simple-minded. They don't understand why they mistakenly think that the two elves, Vine Snake and Nuan Nuan Pig, are very common in the local area, and they feel that there is no need to choose them. So it comes naturally. , the novice trainers who used the elimination method all chose the remaining water otters. But they never expected that when they turned around to capture the latter two, the culprit with ulterior motives had already come out to show off. The Nuan Nuan Pig and Teng Teng Snake have been recycled.”
"Then why when we followed up and investigated afterwards, none of the trainers we asked mentioned this reason?" asked Dr. Yew.
"Follow-up investigation?" Bilan, who had never learned the detailed information, was dumbfounded for a moment.
"Leave the rest to me, Bilan, you did a great job." Hugo walked up to Bilan at some point and faced everyone with her.
"Unlike Ms. Bilan who deduced the general situation of the incident when she first came to the institute, I launched a thorough investigation in advance. Until just now, I was still observing everyone's behavior. To be honest, the acting skills of the culprit were amazing. It’s really not that good, why not turn yourself in and plead guilty now?”
The detective spoke astonishingly, as if he had seen through everything.
