Once the identity of the important witness is discovered, the rest will be easier to handle.
Without much effort, Hugo quickly caught up with Delt, who had just caused a scene in the venue.
Probably because he was also a little curious about the truth about the explosion, after Hugo revealed his identity as a private detective to the other party, the ferocious-looking breeder immediately agreed to the suspicious detective's request, and the two of them entered a street store. Information was exchanged in an outdoor bar.
.
"This is my detective assistant, Miss Bilan, and this is the client's agent, Miss Douzi. If you mind their listening, we can change the place and continue chatting."
The bar was not busy during the day, and there was only light music floating in the open air. The detective sipped the ice water handed by the waiter and introduced the two ladies who arrived after Mr. Delt.
"It's okay. If you have any questions, just ask them directly."
Delt replied perfunctorily, and then he couldn't wait to raise his huge beer glass and drink the ale paid for by the detective.
Is this person really a Pokémon breeder?
Dou Zi and Bi Lan, who were watching the show, met Mr. Delt for the first time. Looking at the fierce bearded face, the two ladies became suspicious at the same time.
Of course, the detective would not waste time on such a boring question.
"Since your Excellency has said so, then..." Hugo considered his words and then simply asked, "Did you do the explosion at Liyong Power Plant?"
Delta didn't react for a moment and was still drinking beer. Then he realized what the detective was talking about.
The action of drinking suddenly stopped. The beer he choked in his mouth suddenly stretched his cheeks, and then with a "pop", it was like a "high-pressure water gun" released by a water Pokémon. The wine that had just entered his mouth was blown away by him. It spurted out in one breath.
The smell of alcohol hung in the air.
Bi Lan, who dodged in time to escape the danger, threw a Poké Ball and sent out the Ancestral Bird to use "Clear the Fog", but she didn't know if it would work.
Just as the yellow chick flapped its wings listlessly, the girl couldn't help but wonder about Hugo's behavior——
What is the detective doing? How could one ask such a question upon meeting the subject of an investigation? Besides, even if Delt is really a prisoner, he won't confess honestly just because of Hugo's question!
Could it be that Hugo was joking? In all conscience, this kind of joke is not funny when told by a detective investigating the case.
However, at this moment, Hugo put down the wine list that was used as a cover and set up a sign. His gray eyes were fixed on Mr. Delt's surprised face, like a big bird that had found its prey. It seemed that he was not joking, but really serious. place for questioning.
The bearded childcare teacher wiped the corners of his mouth, smiled instead of angry, let out a frightening low laugh, and slowly put down the beer glass in the air with a muffled sound.
"Do you think I look like the murderer?" Delt answered the question with a question, pushing the topic back to Hugo with a playful expression.
The detective sneered and placed the glass of ice water on the table with a bang.
He became interested, leaned forward suddenly, and put on an exaggerated and doubtful expression——
"Murderer? Mr. Delt, what do you mean? I have consulted internal police documents through connections, but I have never heard of anyone being injured or killed in the bombing?"
The bearded man couldn't help laughing again. He pointed at the detective: "You are much more interesting than those guys in the police station. Why don't you ask me about my identity, position, and location when the crime occurred?"
"Your Excellency has been asked these questions many times. Whether it's the truth or a lie, you have memorized a set of mechanical answers. What's the use of listening to that kind of testimony?"
"That's why you used words to irritate me like that? Are you treating me like a duck?" The bearded man became aggressive again and asked the detective with a fierce look on his face.
Moody characters often give people a harsh impression, but it is too late to say these harsh words now.
Hugo didn't change his expression and just shrugged: "Didn't you ask us to ask any questions directly? Okay, don't change the topic. Mr. Delt, what did you mean by the murderer you mentioned later? Liyong City Didn’t the police department classify the explosion as an accident?”
He emphasized his tone and asked word for word: "Why do you think there is a murderer in the incident?"
Delt, whose momentum was completely taken away by the detective, was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed: "This is a fact I don't want to recall. I didn't say it even to the police."
"I understand your emotions very well, and I can probably guess the answer to this question, but only what you say, as the person involved, can become a credible testimony."
Hugo stared at Delt calmly, waiting for the man to speak.
.
When Delta joined Lichong Power Plant, it was during the second round of expansion of the plant.
With the establishment of the biopower generation system, the number of electric Pokémon in the factory exceeded 70. The trainer who was originally the training consultant began to be unable to do what he wanted. Director William fired him and hired a more capable trainer. Walter.
The newly appointed Dalt lived up to expectations, renovating the breeding park and preparing special effects food. Within a month, the health status of the 71 electric elves in the factory was in good order.
Everything is going in the right direction.
Delt likes his current job very much. It's not that taking care of Pokémon makes him happy, it's just the content of the job. Due to the nature of the job, he has always regarded Pokémon as uncles who need to be served. If we feel comfortable, Delta will be able to make money.
What really made Delta fall in love with this job was the generous remuneration given to him by director William.
Liyong Power Plant is the most promising energy company in the city. It is normal for the salary to be higher than that of its peers. However, it was not until Delt received his first month's salary that he realized that his previous ideas were actually a bit naive. Yes—the salary William listed when he hired him was just a basic salary.
People living in the desert cannot imagine what the ocean looks like. They are short-sighted and short-sighted. When faced with the salary he received in his first month of work, Delt was so shocked that he could not speak.
Actual wages, monthly performance wages, business bonuses, travel expenses, reimbursement subsidies, annual gifts...the various remuneration subsidies add up to make the actual wages in the factory almost three times that of peers.
What is even more comfortable is that the benefits of Liyong Power Plant are comparable to those of senior officials of the Elf Alliance. Not only are employees never required to work overtime, but they are also given two long-term vacations every year.
For Delta, Director William is the God of Wealth, and his power plant simply sends him money.
It was also during this period that Delt developed the habit of spending money lavishly, which forced him to hurriedly find another job after the explosion.
Yes, a pie-in-the-sky life cannot be sustained in the long term.
When the factory director came to tell him to leave the factory immediately, Delt was wielding a huge shovel and preparing the day's Pokémon feed in his workshop. When he left the factory in confusion, he heard a shocking explosion.
"I probably won't receive the year-end bonus this year, right?" This was the only thought of this bearded breeder when his dream was shattered.
