Turn the time back to the moment when Hugo threw the iron Poké Ball and one of the Iron Triangle fell to the ground.
Although one person was killed in an instant, the remaining two members of the Dark Iron Triangle did not hesitate at all and each sent out hand-held elves.
The Pokémon they held were a large gray ragdoll-like cursed doll, and an agility bug with red head stripes and a film wrapped around it like a ninja. In addition to Commander Cleaver who was originally behind Hugo, Hugo was surrounded by three Pokémon that could defeat the main Pokémon of the gym leader head-on.
Hugo's face was very ugly, because he clearly knew that he was in a desperate situation. Just as he was about to move slightly, he felt a biting chill behind him——
Commander Cleaver has put his sharp arm against the detective's back. As long as the opponent exerts force, a big hole will be opened where Hugo's heart was.
The remaining two iron triangles commanded the elves to suppress the detectives, paying special attention to the two heavy-looking "Elf Balls" left in Hugo's hand. After seeing the opponent's gaze glaring at the "Elf Ball" in his hand, Hugo cooperatively threw the remaining two heavy iron balls to the ground, showing a cooperative attitude of surrendering.
Unfortunately, the "Elf Ball" that landed on the ground made two heart-wrenching dull sounds, which only made the two people on the opposite side even more alert.
Another leader-like member of the Iron Triangle bent slightly, briefly sniffed the breath of his fallen teammate, and then left him alone on the ground. I don’t know if the Iron Triangle is dead or alive... Maybe he’s still alive? Hugo felt that he had not used the best throwing posture because of the emergency, so he probably would not have been killed. Unfortunately, now was not the time to be happy about maintaining the no-kill rule.
"It is absolutely impossible for you to know our action plan. Who leaked it to you? Is it someone from the police?" The detective rarely lost his composure. He usually broke down and asked the cadres of the Plasma Regiment questions that the other party could not answer.
"Those who seek refuge with us are not that kind of small characters..."
"Shut up!"
One of the two wanted to answer Hugo's question ambiguously and took the opportunity to mock him, but was interrupted by the leader of the iron triangle.
"Don't tell that guy, you'll be just a corpse after tonight."
Faced with the threat, Hugo suddenly changed his face and showed a confident smile as if he was in control. He asked the two of them in a frivolous tone: "So, even if I want to die before dawn, I won't be able to die?"
Hearing Hugo's inexplicable provocation, the leader couldn't help but be speechless for a moment.
The detective continued: "Before I made the plan, Deputy Director Muli, who was the only one besides me who knew the location of the Dark Stone, had already boarded a direct plane to the Elf Alliance headquarters. He has probably got off the plane now and is talking to the garrison. Mr. Lian Wu from the Elf Alliance is drinking tea and chatting. In the rest of Qibao City, no one knows the location of this national treasure cultural relic. The only person who knows about it is me, a detective. If I If you refuse to reveal the location of the authentic Dark Stone, your mission tonight will definitely fail."
"What are you so proud of? We can crush you to death right now, and then we can go find it ourselves." The leader said coldly.
"Haha, my ability to hide things is not inferior to my ability to find things. I swear on the reputation of a detective that you will pass by the national treasure of the founding of the country countless times and see the true appearance of the founding stone countless times, but you can't find it at all. There is no shadow of it.”
The leader began to hesitate, and Hugo decided to continue to use words to push him behind——
"We might as well play a little game. I will reveal to you a hint about the location of the Dark Stone, and in exchange, you will reveal to me a hint that can reveal the identity of the informer. Is it fair?"
"Is this guy threatening me? Commander Pi Zhan, give this guy some color!"
The leader's eyebrows suddenly raised, and the commander behind Hugo increased his strength. The sharp blade arm instantly pierced the detective's white coat and touched the skin underneath.
Hugo felt the cold murderous aura, but instead put on a decadent expression of acknowledging death, and murmured exaggeratedly like a chant——
"O ancient founding stone, I am sorry for you to sleep with me forever. Human beings are mortal, and let us all return to the dust together in peace and harmony..."
The two Iron Triangles exchanged glances and couldn't help but sigh. The leader roughly grabbed Hugo by the collar——
"Just follow the conditions you madman said! Quickly report that tip!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Hugo took a step back calmly to get rid of the entanglement of the leader of the Iron Triangle, and only spoke after finishing adjusting his collar.
"In order to express my sincerity, I have given you a hint just now. Do you still remember that sentence? - 'Haha, my ability to hide things is not inferior to my ability to find things. I swear on my reputation as a detective that you will I have passed by the national treasure that founded the country countless times and witnessed the true appearance of the founding stone countless times, but I can't find any trace of it.'"
"No matter how many times I hear these words, I deserve a beating. Cut off the commander and cut off this guy's left hand." The leader looked at the detective with disgust and ordered in a cold voice.
However, when the leader mentioned the words "Commander Cleaver", Hugo jumped up like a frightened jumping pig, rolling and crawling away from Commander Cleaver's attack range.
"Tsk, you're quite clever." Another member of the Iron Triangle complained in disappointment as he didn't see what he expected.
"It's your turn! Doesn't Plasma Group have any credibility? Others have reminded you of this. The truth is now before your eyes. It is equivalent to giving the founding stone as important as a national treasure to you two. Don’t you plan to fulfill the contract yet?”
The detective's back was pressed against the cursed doll, keeping away from Commander Cleaver. He said plausibly.
"That informer, he is a person." The leader said, his serious expression not wavering at all. Such shameless behavior earned him the admiration of his peers.
Hugo's eyes widened, trying to find any trace of conscience and morality on the leader's face, but unfortunately he found nothing.
After a few breaths——
"That's it!" The detective suddenly shouted in a high-pitched voice like a butcher's pig, "That's it, it's a person. I understand, I understand! It's him! In this way, I understand everything. !”
The volume was so high that the cursed doll behind him was startled.
"What's going on?" The two remaining Iron Triangles, or Iron Erjiao, looked at the detective fiercely at the same time.
"Mr. Triangle, you are so generous! This is simply an important reminder like a divine revelation! The sinner who betrayed my plan was not a Pokémon, not a group, nor did he accidentally leak the information due to someone's negligence—— But there really is an informer! This is extremely important information!"
Hugo danced and expressed the detective's reasoning: "Furthermore, you, the leader of the Dark Triangle, actually called the other person 'him'. You have been calling me 'you guy' and 'you guy' since we met." ? Your Excellency actually called that despicable informer 'him' in a serious manner, I guess he must have something worthy of your respect."
"As long as you consider that this person is a participant in my plan...and what Mr. Triangle leaked earlier...the answer is already obvious."
"You guy... ugh! Cough cough cough!"
As if he wanted to swallow the detective alive, the leader glared at Hugo with eyes burning with anger, but he realized that he had once again exposed his oral habit. He shut up suddenly, but he couldn't take a breath and started coughing violently.
"In return for your gift, I will give you a second reminder about the founding stone - that dark stone, which is placed in an upright place in this museum where all tourists can see it. We arrived at the place. I swear this sentence is absolutely true. In addition, I no longer need the reminders from the two of you. If the elder brother kindly reminds me that I can't guess who the informer is, I don't need to remind you anymore. Now I’m in the detective business..."
As Hugo spoke, he pretended to change direction nonchalantly, using his body to block the sight of the cursed doll sticking behind him.
Then the detective suddenly launched an attack! Without warning, he pounced towards the leader of the Triangle who was still bending over and coughing.
The cursed doll behind him took a moment to react, and belatedly planned to launch a move against the detective, but for some reason it fell flat on the ground and the move was interrupted.
"It took me so long to get into trouble before something happened. It's really reliable." The detective laughed calmly, holding down the ninja in front of him in a standard vaulting position, spreading his legs and crossing over the leader. He took out the wooden cane placed next to the door of the curator's room and threw it somewhere.
With a bang, the tip of the cane accurately hit the agility bug that was traveling at high speed. The agility bug with high attack and low defense was knocked down instantly. The wooden cane bounced away and miraculously tripped another Dark Triangle who was about to fight back.
Hugo made a salute and farewell gesture towards Commander Pi Zhan who was stunned on the spot and said: "Fortunately, I used the ball to kill your master in the first step. Now you don't know what to do. Give me some advice, How about letting me go? You can't stop me anyway."
While blabbering nonsense, the detective seemed to have eyes behind his back. He kicked backwards in advance, knocking the leader of the Iron Triangle who came up again to the ground. Then he turned the doorknob, opened the door and walked out of the curator's office where "dead bodies" were everywhere.
Then, Hugo turned around and bowed politely——
"Please give my regards to Mr. Huckleberry, the shameful traitor to the Alliance, the notorious scoundrel King, and the despicable gambler who hedged his bets. In addition, tell him that the chief detective of the Hugo Detective Agency will expose his crimes. In the world."
