"But the thought of killing and the action of killing are completely different things. How can people decide to kill so easily?"
Bilan couldn't understand, and she loudly questioned the detective's reasoning.
"The residents downstairs obviously have countless ways to solve the problem, such as visiting the door to advise, complaining to the administrator, or voluntarily moving... Why do they choose to kill?"
"About this, I later got some information from the apartment manager. In the process of collecting information, I gradually completed the image of that group of young people."
The detective did not immediately respond to Bilan's question and continued to tell the story unhurriedly——
"The six tenants downstairs are a bunch of complete social idlers. They rented the apartment through second-hand landlords rather than formal channels, so the apartment manager will not help them protect their interests; and they live in it themselves A lot of noise was also made in the process. While Mr. Greta was traveling, some residents on the lower floor complained to them. As a result, those people took out the Poké Balls and started a fight, which caused many people to be beaten. Instead, let the other party voluntarily move out of the apartment building."
After supplementing the information, the detective asked Bilan -
"Do you think scoundrels like them would think of using formal means to solve their own problems? Please don't forget that such people bully the weak and fear the strong, and Greta is also a well-known star trainer. Downstairs Even if the residents use all their Pokémon, they will never be able to defeat a full Sandstorm Team."
"If that's the case, then why don't they move out?"
The assistant lady got a little carried away with solving the riddle, so she broke the casserole and asked the question to the end, asking the detective persistently.
"Well, there are many reasons why someone might not want to move out of an apartment. Sometimes it can be just plain laziness."
Hugo sat on the armrest of the sofa opposite, looking around the hall of his apartment——
"Moreover, there are six people living together downstairs in Greta's house. If any one of them is more willing to kill once and for all than to move laboriously, and convinces all the other companions, there will be such a murder case now. It’s also reasonable.”
Listening to the detective's slightly perfunctory explanation, Bilan was just doubtful, and then she asked another question——
"Even if your previous inferences are all correct, I still have a question: Since Mr. Greta has been a professional trainer of the Sandstorm Team for so many years, why would he choose to live in such a high-altitude apartment? As a use The star trainer of the Sandstorm Team, he should have realized that his elves would bring huge noise downstairs, right?"
"Very sharp." Hugo praised, "This matter should be traced back to more than a month ago."
"How do you say this?" Faced with a full month's time span, Bilan was just confused.
"I remember that you and Douzi defeated the Sandstorm pair in a doubles match. Douzi told me at the time that the victory in the match was almost entirely due to you, Bilan."
"Although Douzi is a bit exaggerated, my performance at that time was indeed more conspicuous." Bilan recalled the battle match a month ago, with a strange feeling as if it was a lifetime ago -
"At that time, Douzi's Yanwu King was taken off the ring by the opponent's counterattack tactics, leaving little Ibrahimovic and Bankiras still on the field. In the end, it was Ibrahimovic who relied on his speed and agility to use "Iron Tail" many times. He struck at the same vital point of Bankilas and defeated him with difficulty. By the way, the trainer who used Bankelas at that time was Greta. "
"Is it difficult? But when you returned to Yuqi Mansion to release Eevee that day, it didn't seem to have any obvious scars on it?" The detective leisurely pointed out a key question.
"That's because he avoided most of the attacks, so apart from the damage he suffered when resisting the sandstorm, Ibrahimovic was basically uninjured."
"This is a bit strange." The detective sighed knowingly——
"Elves like Bankiras should be far better than Eevee who has not yet evolved in terms of attack power and durability, and the hit rate of the "Iron Tail" skill is not high. I want to ask you, what does it mean that Ibrahimovic has been able to dodge the opponent's attacks many times and hit his vital points accurately several times? "
When it came to the battle field, Bilan immediately understood what the detective meant, and immediately replied: "This shows that Bankilas is not very proficient in using skills, and his movements are clumsy and his moves are slower than when he was in his prime."
"So, what do you think is slowing down Bankiras?"
Seeing that Bilan was about to start thinking for a long time, the detective took the initiative to reveal the answer to the mystery——
"I think this has something to do with the state of that Bankelas." Hugo crossed his legs and said very enigmatically, "That Bankelas may have just evolved before the competition, so it can't adapt to the new environment." His posture seemed a bit awkward on the playing field."
"I see!"
Miss Bilan sat up straight, clapped her hands and suddenly realized - "Mr. Greta must have exercised his strength during the journey. Many elves have completed their evolution during their travels. And Greta's awareness of her own elf's weight is still at a low level." Their state before evolution. Originally, the running of these relatively small Pokémon would not cause noise downstairs, but after evolution, Bankelas and Pangyan have doubled in weight and finally began to attack the stairs. The residents below have become troubled.”
"Just because he didn't notice the weight change after the Pokémon evolved, he was murdered." The detective sighed and sighed.
"But what do you mean by 'interests' in the prompt?" Bilan asked one question after another. "He killed someone because he couldn't bear the noise." This was not a dispute over interests.
"Speaking of this, Bilan, don't you think the living conditions of those six young people are a bit strange?"
"There's nothing fishy about this case, okay?"
The girl couldn't help complaining: "The dead bodies in the secret room, the elves in the flower pots, the suspicious administrators, the Sandstorm Team that caused trouble... It's nothing to have six more unemployed homeless people living together."
"I think these six guys must be doing some kind of shady business in that shared apartment."
Hugo continued with a playful expression: "As the first piece of information we investigated, that apartment building is an extremely expensive high-end residential building. Such a house, even if the rent is divided into six parts, is not suitable for the unemployed. It’s a big expense, so what do they rely on to pay the rent?”
"Being unemployed and cocooned at home, there should be very limited ways to make profits, right?" Bilan thought hard for a while, and honestly raised a white flag to the detective, "Hugo, I can't think of anything."
The detective shook his finger and gave further hints: "These six homeless people have also been complained by their neighbors because of the noise they made. Later, when the complaints were unsuccessful, those residents even moved away because of their noise. ”
"What does this mean? Group living is usually noisy, right?"
"There is also a form of profit-making activity that can immediately make an apartment noisy."
Hugo reached into his pocket and pulled out the cell phone he had retrieved from the duty room at the end of the incident.
The detective pressed the button on the touch screen, and the dialing sounds sounded one after another along the scale. Then, before the call was connected, he said to Bilan in a loud voice when answering the phone——
"When six people are talking on the phone in the apartment at the same time, the noise caused is enough to cause the residents downstairs to move and run away overnight."
"Call?" The assistant lady didn't react for a moment. "How can these people make money by making phone calls? Will people take the initiative to send money after making a call?"
Hugo couldn't help but laugh: "There really is such a thing in the world."
At the same time, the call dialed by the detective was connected, and the person who answered the phone was Officer Junsha. When she shouted "Hello", her voice was high, indicating that there had been a breakthrough in the interrogation.
"Yes, I want to know how the criminal suspect explained his motives." Hugo put the call on external playback and asked the police officer.
"You are asking the right person, Hugo. You will never guess what those guys are doing in the apartment all day long." Junsha sounded very proud, wanting to take this rare opportunity to whet the detective's appetite.
Hugo held up his mobile phone and suppressed a smile, and sighed deliberately: "Please tell me, Bilan and I are waiting."
"There is really nothing we can do against you." A more smug voice came from the other end of the phone, "Since you are asking for advice sincerely, then I will tell you with great mercy -"
"Those people are a group of phone scammers who are able to obtain personal information, including phone numbers, from the nearby elf center registration office, and then hide in the apartment all day long calling numbers in the phone book and falsely claiming various identities. Enticing people who answer the phone to transfer money to their bank card account number!"
The detective put his hand on his forehead and winked at his assistant proudly.
Bilan was completely stunned. After a long time, she hesitated and asked Junsha on the other end of the phone: "Then... then Miss Junsha, the reason why these people killed Mr. Greta is because..."
"They hate the residents upstairs who let the elves move around in their homes every day. The constant noise upstairs makes it completely impossible to continue their so-called work, so these people ordered the Galar Sun installed from the Hezhong Dark Web. A potted coral plant, pretending to be a friendly neighbor and delivering the potted plant to the deceased’s home.”
The police officer's summary was clear and smooth, and Bilan felt that the whole incident was connected together at once.
"In addition, the reason why they moved to this apartment is because they heard that high-end buildings in the west of Feiyun City generally have low occupancy rates, so renting and committing crimes here would be less likely to attract suspicion. Moreover, there are famous places nearby. Rich areas are always populated by rich people, and the phone numbers of rich people are even more valuable for fraud.”
"A complete struggle of interests..." Bilan couldn't help but murmured as she recalled the last hint provided by the detective.
Hugo also sighed: "Mr. Greta is really unfortunate..."
.
"Hello? Why has the atmosphere suddenly become so heavy? Hugo, do you already know the truth of the matter?"
In the silent Yuqi Mansion, only Miss Junsha's call with electronic noise echoed continuously.
