Next to the entrance of the job fair, the detective and Douzi chatted one after another while waiting boredly for the assistant lady to come and meet them.

The job fair is located in a closed square, with the entrance and exit at the same location, so there is no need to worry about the assistant lady walking further and further away.

"Aren't you going to meet N?"

Just like her fighting style, the girl with a high ponytail asked Hugo straight to the point——

"After all, he is the client this time. Why don't you go and communicate with him face to face? Sister Xiaolan and I are here, so there is no need to worry about what his nominal subordinates will do."

"No, it's better not to use it. I'm not worried about the plasma group." The detective in the white coat shook his head.

"Countless myths and legends tell us a common truth - two creatures with distinct opinions but unable to convince each other, it is best not to meet, otherwise they will most likely quarrel."

At this time, Hugo was staring absentmindedly at the endless stream of people in front of him, his eyebrows sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing, as if he was browsing the books on the display shelves of the bookstore.

"A fight?" Douzi blinked. She couldn't imagine the scene of the green-haired young man who always behaved aloof and the polite detective arguing.

It will probably be very dramatic...

"Speaking of which, Hugo, why did we choose to meet in a place like this today? Aren't we here to investigate the truth behind the bombing? What does the bombing have to do with the job fair here?"

"Of course it does. Let me ask you, if we want to know the conditions of the factory before the explosion, who should we ask?"

"Normally, we should go to the factory employees. After all, only they have first-hand information."

"Yes, but now that the power plant has been destroyed due to the explosion, it is likely that it cannot be rebuilt. The employees are unable to work and are scattered in their homes. Where should we find these employees at this time?"

While talking to Douzi, Hugo's eyes were still searching the crowd quickly, as if he was looking for an obvious target.

"Oh! That's it." The girl with a high ponytail hammered her palms, suddenly realizing.

"The closure of the power plant will definitely lead to unemployment. Those workers who are forced to lose their jobs will definitely come to this joint job fair to find another job...Moreover, maybe this job fair is opened by other factories to recruit these people. That’s why there are so many people crowded here!”

"Yes, so I came here to look for the target." The detective nodded.

"But in this case, Hugo, what are you looking for now?" Douzi still didn't fully understand, "It's only right that you can ask for information from any applicant here."

"I'm looking for the employee most closely related to the explosion."

Hugo glanced at the crowded crowd again, but it seemed that he still couldn't find the target, so he simply turned around and explained to Douzi——

"The official report stated that the explosion was caused by incorrect operation of Pokémon. At the same time, it can be seen from the photos sent from the scene that the center of the explosion was located in the bioelectric power generation block where electric Pokémon are concentrated. . And such a block will have at least one employee responsible for managing, raising, and caring for Pokémon. And he is the target I am looking for this time."

Seeing that Hugo spoke in a logical manner, the girl nodded frequently, but still did not fully understand: "But in this case, how are you going to identify such an employee from such a large number of people?"

The detective raised three fingers: "For the first screening, you can start with the hand shapes of the applicants. The people we are looking for are not professional workers. They are closer to trainers who have cultivated Pokémon for a long time, so their There cannot be thick calluses on the hands left by long-term operation of machinery. At most, there will only be slight calluses on the joints used when holding the Poké Ball."

"Uh...yeah!"

Douzi couldn't help but check his hands, and Guo Guo accidentally exclaimed. Because after careful observation, she also found similar slight callus marks on her palms.

This mark is proof of being an excellent Pokémon trainer.

"Second." Hugo shook his long, intact fingers and continued -

"This type of special employee was originally responsible for the large-scale management of electric Pokémon at Liyong Power Plant. The professionalism required for the position is actually quite high. They must have an understanding of electrical knowledge and the collective cultivation of Pokémon. Method. Even when they apply for a job, they will show some differences from ordinary job applicants."

"What is that? A breeder's certificate? A high-quality elf cultivated by one's own hands?" the girl speculated.

"Of course not. How could it be possible to find out to this extent just by watching from a distance." The detective said with a smile, "Of course it depends on where they are standing."

Even though the crowd in front of you is bustling, if you look carefully, you can see that even at the entrance, the applicants are consciously sorted into different positions.

"The more professional talents are, the less likely they are to change careers due to job-hopping. Enterprise joint recruitment will naturally place signs pointing to different positions at the entrance so that applicants can find their own position. However, these signs are facing the queue. It’s not easy to see people’s faces from where we are now, which is why Bilan and I had to squeeze in the crowd.”

The detective pointed at the group of people directly opposite: "Look, in the group of people closest to us, are there quite a few people who meet the first condition? This is where Bilan and I got separated. These people are the former It’s a pity that most of the employees who came to apply for jobs as factory trainers were not from the Lichong Power Plant where the explosion occurred.”

"Well..." Douzi pondered for a moment and asked the natural question, "Then how do you identify the former employees of Liyong Power Plant among these people?"

"This is the most obvious part of the reasoning." Hugo shook his remaining index finger.

"According to the testimony of your friend, all the Pokémon in the power plant were killed at the scene of the accident without exception. Although the employee responsible for raising them did not have to bear any responsibility, his mental state was definitely not much better. This This situation is not suitable for applying for a job, and the interviewer will also pursue the issue of the bombing incident. After all, no company will want to recruit employees who have caused a vicious incident."

Finally, Hugo pointed to the crowd behind him and said to Douzi——

"If you see a listless, sighing, interview failure in the team in front of us, returning to the original route, then he is undoubtedly the target we want to find on this trip."

"Um...Hugo..." Douzi suddenly faltered, "I saw someone who fully meets the conditions you mentioned, but I guarantee that she is definitely not a witness to the bombing."

The detective turned his head in surprise and saw a listless, sighing, chestnut-haired girl returning the same way.

Her eyes were exactly the same as the Archaeopteryx above her head.

Bi Lan drifted into the distance in the direction of the crowd. When he passed by Hugo and Douzi, he was pulled over by the girl with a high ponytail.

Douzi shook Bilan vigorously, and put his head to the girl's ear and asked loudly: "Sister Xiaolan, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Bi Lan was stunned for a while, and then she said aggrievedly with a look of great shock——

"They... they said that guys like me who don't have a breeder certificate or even a diploma can only go to the electronics factory to tighten screws..."
