"Speaking of cone-shaped rocks, the first thing that comes to mind should be the skills used by rock-type Pokémon, right?"
Hugo twirled his fingers and recalled the thick Pokédex in his mind while counting: ""Rockfall", "Rockslide", "Rock Blast", "Primal Power", "Rock Blockade", "Rock Cannon" " "Pointed Stone Attack", these skills can summon rocks out of thin air to attack. "Primitive Power" is slightly different. It can only summon the shadow of ancient rocks, which will disappear after the attack is completed. "
"The murder weapon did not disappear. It was recovered by the forensic department after it was removed from the body. It is now placed in the evidence storage room of the police station."
At the same time, Deputy Serra promptly handed Bilan and Hugo a thumbnail of the crime scene and a close-up photo of the murder weapon.
Junsha curled her lips and continued: "Speaking of which, there is also a colleague in our department who is good at using rock-type Pokémon. He also conducted an appraisal on the stone cone. What did he say at that time... what did he say?"
"The senior said that the size and shape of this stone are a bit strange." The speaker was Miss Serra, who wrote down that passage in her notebook at the time——
"The stone cone used as the murder weapon has a smooth cross-section, which is a characteristic shape of "Rock Blockade" and "Sharp Stone Attack", but its size is too small, and its size is closer to the less powerful "Rockfall" and "Rock Avalanche" . But in the final analysis, when Pokémon use skills, their intentional manipulation can greatly change the final effect of the skills. Therefore, this stone may be a sharpened "rock avalanche", or it may be a "rockfall" that has deliberately restrained its power. Sharp stone attack". "
"That's right, it's such a pointless reasoning. I probably felt too bored at the time, so I didn't remember it."
Junsha glanced at her junior gratefully, and was very satisfied with the other party's rescue: "In short, the police currently have no clue what move caused the stone cone, but we all tend to think that Pokémon caused this incident. case."
"Is it because humans are unlikely to use cone-shaped stones to kill people?" Bilan raised her hand and asked, like a student speaking in class.
Junsha nodded and shook her head: "Not only that, but also because we captured six suspects in that secret room."
"Six suspects?" The assistant looked confused.
The detective immediately gave the answer: "Junsha refers to the six Pokémon carried by the deceased Greta. Do you still remember the identity introduction at the beginning? Male, twenty-seven years old before death, living alone, good at using rocks Pokémon with attributes.”
"Rogue Crocodile, Rock Palace Dweller Crab, Mud Fish, Pang Rock Monster, Banguiras, Dragon-headed Gopher - each of them will use this skill to generate rocks." Miss Junsha added.
"It turns out that he is not just a rock type." After receiving the new information, Hugo continued to record in his notebook, "This Greta is more like a combat expert specializing in sandstorms than a rock type master."
Some kind of terrible reasoning emerged in Bilan's mind: "Do the police think that one of these elves killed his master?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Junsha shrugged. "When the bodies were discovered, these Pokémon were placed in the Pokémon recovery device in the apartment, and they were all asleep. But the recovery device could allow the Pokémon to Kamu can come and go freely, so if one of the Pokémon commits a crime and then goes back into the device and pretends to be asleep, we won't be able to tell."
Hugo took a sip of the cold tea and asked the police officer: "It seems that Junsha's purpose of coming here this time is mainly to let me identify the murderer among these Pokémon, right?"
Junsha smiled bitterly: "I really can't hide it from you, but if you put it this way, it won't be the secret room case you favor."
Although the facts of the case are clear, the detective is still struggling: "Didn't the police consider possibilities other than committing crimes with elves in hand?"
"As we have discussed before, we have discussed almost all possibilities of entering a closed room." Junsha looked at the detective apologetically, "We even invited psychics and superpowers to inspect the site. Check to see if any Pokémon use skills such as wall-walking or "teleportation". "
"What's the result?" This is the first time Bilan has heard of such a novel investigation method.
"Nothing was found." The police officer shook her head. "The psychics checked every wall of the house and swore that no ghost-type Pokémon would pass through the walls in the apartment within a month, while the superpowers Sign a note, testifying that no Pokémon has used "teleportation" to enter the room recently, or used "psychiatry" or other superpower moves to kill the victim outside the room. "
"These charlatans can only sense traces of the use of superpowers in a small space. They cannot communicate with the dead, nor can they predict the future or see the past - otherwise the two policemen in front of you will lose their jobs." Hugo reminded sarcastically.
Junsha wasn't angry either. She sank into the sofa with a look of shame and responded: "Only the Criminal Division responsible for solving cases will lose their jobs. I have long wanted to return to the Public Security Division. I have been tired of seeing dead people in the past month. .”
"Senior, this is the only murder case you have personally participated in this month, right? Aren't you always drinking tea in the office at other times?" Sierra reminded in a low voice.
Junsha waved her hands feebly: "Just this one thing is enough. When I saw the bloody corpse with a stone stuck in its chest, I had already vomited all the tea I had drunk in the past month. It’s clean…”
.
While the police officer partners were busy bickering, Detective Hugo had already stood up, put on his iconic white coat, and instructed the employee: "Bilan, please help look after the house, I need to go to the scene. .”
The assistant lady who was preparing to pack her luggage was shocked: "Ah? Can't I follow?"
"There are confidentiality restrictions in police work. A private detective like me only enters the crime scene because of the personal invitation of Officer Junsha. It would be unwise to bring another person who has nothing to do with the case into the scene."
The detective looked apologetically and said to Bi Lan: "When I come back, I will tell you everything I saw at the scene. I will not exclude the capable detective assistant from the case."
Seeing Bilan's regretful expression, Hugo added: "You can practice unlocking and prying doors when you are looking after the house. This knowledge is very useful in cracking secret room cases. I will keep the little flame monkey at home. If you don't understand, You can ask it."
"What skills did you teach those children?" Bi Lan was stunned.
After witnessing everything, Junsha sighed heavily and decided to turn a blind eye and delete the dangerous conversation the detective just had from her memory.
At this time, Miss Sera, who was hiding behind Junsha, suddenly spoke. She pointed at the little Eevee playing with Bogaman: "Miss Bilan, are you the trainer of that Eevee?"
The assistant felt a little confused and nodded: "Yes, that child is my partner."
Sera turned to her boss: "Senior, I think we can bring Miss Bilan into the scene."
"What's going on?" As a commander, Junsha seemed even more confused than Bilan, "Isn't she an unrelated person?"
"No." The deputy with long black hair pushed up her glasses and said word by word, "Miss Bilan is a relevant person in this case."
Hugo, who was behind him, thought for a moment, then showed an expression of sudden realization, looking back and forth at Bilan and Little Eevee with a playful expression.
"What on earth is going on?" Bilan, the person involved, asked Sera eagerly.
"After the case occurred, the police investigated a lot of the deceased's personal information. One month ago, Mr. Greta posted an update on his social account, which described his participation in a certain doubles match.' My partner and I were arrested An Eevee was defeated by a single brush, and its trainer was a beautiful girl. It was so embarrassing' - Mr. Greta described it in the update."
The deputy lady said to Bilan seriously.
"If I guessed correctly, you should be the trainer of that Eevee. In this case, you are also a person related to the case who saw the deceased before the crime. Senior Junsha can definitely bring you into the scene..."
Bilan didn't pay attention to what Sera said next. She suddenly realized it first, and then felt a strong sense of nausea.
Dead, the doubles player who had a chance encounter a month ago has now lost his life. The man with whom he had little memory could no longer participate in battles, speak, act, or think. Everything suddenly became so heavy and seemed to have no sense of reality at all. Death is like a dark beast that chooses and devours people. Even a peek at it will make people tremble. Even death is so terrifying, let alone the endless nothingness after death?
"Hey, assistant! What are you doing?"
Someone suddenly patted the blue back. When he looked back, he saw that it was the detective who had already put on a white coat.
The detective yelled in Bi Lan's ear——
"How can we let things like this happen when someone we know dies? Police all over the world are the same idiots and will always let the real murderer go unpunished! Right now there is a real secret room murder case, and the entire Feiyun City Police Department There is nothing that can be done about this, and the cunning murderer is snickering and blending into the vast sea of people. Bilan, do you want to continue to be in a daze? "
The familiar voice shook the girl's eardrums, and the haze in her heart seemed to have disappeared.
Bilan jumped up from the chair, patted her cheeks with both hands, put on the most heartless smile, and responded to Hugo: "Yes, detective!"
