Detectives did not hear the explosion from upstairs until the elevator doors closed.
It seems that the Sun Coral did not choose to "self-destruct" at the first opportunity. In this case, Bilan and the others should be able to successfully deal with their opponents with their abilities.
Hugo then relaxed and continued to do his best to deceive the two police officers in front of him.
"In response to the question you just raised, I declare again that the victim's hand-held elf cannot be the murderer. This is not a question of betrayal, but a matter of size. Among Greta's hand-held elf, even the smallest one is The mudfish is also a large yellow fish with a body length of more than 70 centimeters. It has nowhere to hide on the gray tiled floor of the crime scene and is extremely conspicuous."
In the narrow elevator, Hugo faced the two police officers and kept waving his hands and making gestures to enhance the persuasiveness of his speech.
"Therefore, no matter which one of the six hands is in it, it is impossible for them to jump out of the elf ball, stand in front of their master and use rock skills on his front abdomen. What's more, if they really want to take action, these violent The Sandstorm Pokémon don't use small, weak pitons, they will release boulders above the trainer's head, smashing the master and the ceiling below into pulp and rubble."
Faced with the detective's reasoning storm, which was speaking at a very high speed, a police officer opened his hands and pressed down, signaling Hugo to calm down: "But this has nothing to do with the case, we just hope you can give an explanation - Excuse me, Why on earth did you have to let the police cordon off the apartment building?”
The detective waved his hands helplessly and explained with a grimace: "I have already said that the prisoner who caused the whole case is in this building. The other party may start to escape at any time. Every second is extremely precious now, and But you insist on me explaining the whole story before you are willing to consider taking action."
Time is really tight. Hugo must convince the two policemen to cooperate with his next actions before the elevator reaches the ground floor.
The elevator has descended to the 20th floor.
"Of course you need to explain, sir." Another taller police officer crossed his arms and said, "Our superiors do not allow us to act on our own initiative, but you asked us to illegally detain an entire building without reason. Resident. You’re not even a police officer! Why should we trust you?”
"Okay, okay." Hugo took a few deep breaths, tried to stay friendly, and continued to explain simple facts to the police in the elevator——
"The scene was completely closed, and the victim had no expectations when facing the attack from the front. There is only one explanation for the two facts at the same time - the deceased was hit by a small mechanism hidden in the room. I know you did not find the mechanism. , but you should still remember the small flower pot on the bookshelf in the room, right?"
The two police officers who had searched the scene looked at each other and then nodded together.
"Don't you think it's a little strange that that object appears in the deceased's house? Greta is a rough trainer. The unstyled furniture and simple daily necessities prove this. This kind of person will not go for the beauty of the interior. He bought a pot of succulents specifically. So the only explanation for the pot appearing on the bookshelf is that someone gave it to him as a gift."
"Is there anything special about this gift?" the short police officer asked puzzledly.
"What's special?" Hugo sneered, "This is a pot of succulents that can kill people. There is a sun coral inside that can attack with sharp rocks. Your Miss Junsha is fighting it now. "
The elevator passes by the 10th floor.
The short police officer frowned and asked: "I have seen the actual appearance of Sun Coral. They are at least as high as an arm and are covered in bright pink. How can such a Pokémon hide in a flower pot?"
“In order to adapt to the unique natural environments of different regions, some Pokémon look very different from other regions, and their attributes also change. This morphological difference is called regional form. Galar Sun Coral is a striking example. "
Hugo patiently explained to the police officers: "You can check the Elf Illustrated Book later for the specific situation. I will only give the briefest explanation - there is a kind of ghost-type sun coral that can pretend to be dead and not eat for several days." Drink, in this state its coral branches will turn into a spiritual state and hide."
"The sun coral you mentioned is in the flower pot on the bookshelf? Is this an assassination?" The tall police officer looked in disbelief and unintentionally used a helpful word to describe the situation at the time of the crime. .
"Yes, assassination, of course, it was an assassination, or a premeditated institutional killing. Someone buried a subspecies of sun coral into the flowerpot and gave the flowerpot to Mr. Greta. Therefore, on the day of the incident, , when the victim was facing the bookshelf and preparing to choose books, the demon hidden in the flowerpot summoned a piton from the air and stabbed the talented star trainer to death without leaving any trace."
The police officers' faces became paler and paler. They couldn't believe that during the entire morning's search, they actually stayed in the same room with a Pokémon that had killed people for four whole hours!
The shorter one asked tremblingly: "In this case, why don't we reinforce Miss Junsha instead of sealing off the entire building?"
"Good question." A crisp finger snap sounded at the fingertips of the detective in the white coat.
"Ordinary people who are unaware of this are often accustomed to giving priority to solving the problems before them. The so-called "treat the head when it hurts and the foot when it hurts" is exactly what we are talking about. But this behavior pattern often numbs our perception of the future. ability, and in turn will induce us to make wrong decisions at critical moments." Hugo increased his speaking speed to pave the way for the next words.
"And my habit is to make a decision before taking action. Take one step and see the next." The detective changed his position, with his back to the elevator door, facing the two police officers. "Now, please tell me, Miss Junsha was in the room of the deceased. What impact will the Pokémon battle have on the case?”
The elevator passed the 5th floor.
The tall police officer was confused, but the other one reacted: "There should be other residents in the building who noticed the fighting."
"Absolutely correct. You are worthy of being the guardian of peace in Feiyun City."
The detective did not hesitate to praise: "So, can we rule out the possibility that the suspect is still in this apartment? Don't forget the succulent plant. It wouldn't be surprising at all for neighbors to give each other gifts. .”
I don't know why he became competitive, but the short police officer who was a little slow to react immediately replied: "Yes, I understand! The criminal who gave the potted plant gift is probably hiding among the residents of the building. He heard the news from the deceased's room It is impossible for him to remain indifferent to the internal noise, which means that the prisoner is likely to prepare to escape in the near future."
"Well! It seems that our cognitions are synchronized." Hugo said happily. "Blocking the building will not only help prevent the real murderer from escaping, but also screen out the residents who are eager to leave the apartment building after the battle begins. All fools know this. , the murderer is probably hidden among them."
"Even so, it's impossible for you to accurately identify the person who gave the gift among those people, right?" The short police officer still had some doubts and looked at Hugo uneasily.
"Who said I have to find someone from the residents?" The detective shrugged, then turned to a serious face and issued the order skillfully——
"I am now going to the apartment manager to investigate some things. The information there can complete the last piece of the case. During this period, you must guard the main entrance and the side of the apartment. You are only allowed to enter but not to leave. Don't let Anyone in the building please leave."
The elevator stopped on the first floor.
The tall and short police officers opened their mouths and wanted to continue to refute. However, there was nothing worthy of criticism in the detective's long and rigorous reasoning. Coupled with the other party's extremely tough attitude at the moment, the police officers had to admit that they had been overwhelmed in terms of momentum. The man suppressed him completely, and they finally nodded and agreed to Hugo's request.
The detective nodded proudly: "Well, happy cooperation. I have already written down the police numbers of the two police officers. I will say a few good words to Miss Junsha about you two when I have the opportunity later."
Making pistol gestures with both hands, Hugo pointed his arms at the number plates on their chests, then turned around magnificently, and the elevator opened in coordination at this time.
Looking at the back of the detective in the white coat walking away towards the administrator's duty room, the short police officer couldn't help but ask his companion: "Did you understand what the detective said? He spoke too fast, and I always felt a little I can’t keep up with the train of thought.”
"I seemed to understand when I heard it, but now that I think about it, it doesn't seem that way. It's like taking a math class." The partner in question scratched his head and said, "Miss Junsha and the others have just entered the scene. Really Have you discovered a murder mechanism? I really can’t believe this.”
"But in retrospect, that flower pot is indeed a bit suspicious..."
"But this may also be your preconception. To put it in perspective, even if it is really a murder organization, how can you guarantee that the person who sent the gift must be someone in the building? It is entirely possible that they have gone out and hid. "
"What you said makes sense, but..."
The two policemen looked at each other, then shrugged and spread their hands as if they were resigned to their fate: "Just do what that person said."
