"No problem! If you make it, you can do it!" Sundae said with a firm look and an oath. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hey, girl, where did you get this kind of confidence, it's just an ordinary trainer standing here!Alas, she sighed, leaned down and touched Chizuru's little head, "Don't worry, I'll help you find Dad!"

It seems that he has been involved in trouble again, but why did Chizuru's father disappear? If there is no clue, there is really a thousand possibilities, he was attacked by a wild elf, he was accidentally knocked unconscious, and he was found by the enemy............ It's not impossible, how can people find it?!

Let's narrow it down a little bit with elimination, first of all, you have to know if he is in the forest or has already left the forest to somewhere else.

"Chizuru, your father did go into the woods in the morning, didn't he? didn't he come out later?" asked Minato softly.

"Well, Dad has been very busy lately, and today he went into the woods very early and brought a lunch box for lunch, saying that he would come back for dinner if he wanted me to stay at home obediently, but he never came back. Chizuru replied with a crying voice, desperately trying to stop her tears and trying to explain it in as much detail as possible.

Sundae comforted Chizuru in distress, while Minato bit her fingers and fell into deep thought. Chizuru was still a child, and her words were so direct and simple that she couldn't even tell if she had come out halfway or if she had returned home at the end, and there was so little information she could provide. I'm busy at work, I've brought a lunch, and I've promised to come back in the evening, isn't that the case with every man............

In desperation, I had to ask the two women who were talking on the side, "I'm sorry, I heard that Chizuru's father hasn't come out since he entered the forest, is it true?

"Hmm, who are you?" said the fat aunt impatiently.

"I'm a friend of Chizuru, hehe, I'm here to help. Minato explained.

"Little girl's friend?" the fat aunt looked at her suspiciously, "Forget it, I said you should go quickly, don't make trouble with the little girl, and don't let people stop at night." Why are all the people of the Maruyama family so able to make trouble, isn't Ryosuke a forest ranger, what can happen to him in the forest?"

"That's it, my family who has to be harmed went up the mountain in the dark to look for it, what should I do if something happens at night. The thin aunt on the side accosted, her tone was very dissatisfied, and it seemed that she didn't want to see Chizuru's father and daughter on weekdays.

Although I thought so too, I really wanted to beat these two people! Suppressing his temper, he continued, "Who said it wasn't, no matter what, let's find the person quickly." Chizuru's father...... By the way, it's called Ryosuke Maruyama, right, is it true that Uncle Maruyama hasn't come out in the woods?"

"Who knows, if he sneaks around and does something bad, he will still be able to get out of this exit? The fat aunt said impatiently with a yawn.

After that, I asked two more random questions, but I didn't ask any key clues. It seemed that the two women knew so much, and they were too lazy to continue to pay attention to them, and returned to the sundae while thinking.

"How's that? got it?!" Sundae asked impatiently.

"Don't make a noise! I didn't see ....... No, I mean, with a little bit of a boss, I'll have to think about it. "It's really scary to get used to this thing, and I almost didn't choke on my own saliva halfway through the sentence.

"Oh...... Oh!" The sundae, though wondering why Minato's attitude towards himself had changed so quickly, immediately covered his mouth for fear of interrupting Minato's thoughts.

Seeing that the sundae didn't seem to react, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to think about Chizuru's father, now it seems that there are no clues, in fact, as long as you think about it carefully, there are still many things that can be investigated, one of which is very important, Chizuru's father is a forest ranger!

This alone can rule out a lot of things, at least the possibility of an accident in the woods is very small. The ranger is a profession appointed by the Alliance, and they each maintain peace and stability in an area, and they do not subdue the elves but live in harmony with the elves in their jurisdiction to help each other, which is somewhat similar to what the old man Mishima did in the second half of his life. Moreover, Ryosuke Maruyama is in the prime of life, even if he encounters a disaster like the old man of Mishima, he will probably be able to save himself, not to mention that there are countless elves in the forest who will help him.

Also, after Ryosuke Maruyama didn't come back, although the women had a bad attitude towards him, their men were willing to believe that Chizuru went into the forest at night to find someone, which shows that this person is not bad, so how can he let his young daughter run around at home alone.

In this case, he suddenly disappeared into the forest without any news coming back, and if it was not for natural distress, it was most likely man-made! Kidnapping? Seeking revenge? No matter what it seems, it seems to be much more serious............

Alas, he hammered his hand in annoyance, why was he in such a hurry to leave in the first place, if the sundae were looking for someone, they might be able to find some traces on the spot, but now there are not so many things!

"How...... What's wrong?" asked Sundae cautiously.

"Big brother, do you know where Daddy is?" Chizuru watched as tears were about to fall again.

What do I have to say about that...... Your dad may have been arrested, maybe he has already been killed, everyone wash and sleep, are you going to go to the police tomorrow?......! Kidnapping for revenge...... Then again, who is the ranger most likely to offend? In other words, who hates the ranger the most?

Poaching gangs! There are them, and I think of them all! Why didn't I think of so many clues? I slapped my thigh, and I had a relatively complete guess in my heart.

"Have you thought of it?!Tell us about it. Sundae asked anxiously when he saw that he had suddenly come to his senses, knowing that he had probably figured it out.

"Well, come over here. He beckoned Sundae to lean over, and then whispered in her ear, "Eight or nine is not far from ten, Chizuru's father is estimated to have encountered a poaching gang, and it is very likely that he has been captured!"

"Thief ......!" the sundae dared to exclaim in surprise when Minato covered her mouth, and Minu told her that it was better not to let Chizuru know about it.

"How do you know?!Minato, how do you know?" asked Sundae softly as he pulled Minato's hand away.

Isn't it useful to explain it to you?! Shouldn't I now think about where the poaching gang is going to save people? Thinking that I will have to borrow money from the sundae in the future, I will patiently explain it to the sundae. "At first, it was just speculation, but after thinking about it, I was pretty much sure. Remember when I fished for a week and only caught a duck?"

"Well, your fishing skills are really poor, and I've been taunting you. ”

Hehe, am I asking you this! Forget it, this hand knife is what you owe! Secretly pressed the palm that had become a palm, gritted his teeth and continued: "Listen, it's not that my level is poor, but that there are no other elves around here! Duck elves will lay eggs in April and May, and pregnant elves are the most likely to get angry, and in order for the pregnant mother in the group to give birth smoothly, the male Dada duck and Gotha duck will expel the elves of other races in the lake. The other elves have been banished, and the ducks are busy guarding and producing, and they can't catch fish at any time!"

"Oh, but does that have anything to do with poaching gangs?" asked Sundae stupidly.

"Fee...... Of course, it does, do you know what is the best-selling thing in the black market? It's an elf egg! Many entertainment venues and even various competitions will take unknown elf eggs as prizes, some people want to explore the unknown, and some people look forward to good luck, and the price of this thing has always been high! These poaching gangs can sell the eggs of the ducks for a lot of money as long as they get them and put on a little makeup, and compared to catching wild elves, stealing eggs is not only easier to be discovered, but also greatly reduced. Minato explained with a dark face. Not only what he said, but the ducks have strange habits, they live in the water but choose to lay their eggs in the towering grass on the shore to hatch, which also gives poachers an opportunity, so Chizuru said that his father has become very busy lately, probably because of this.

"What you're saying is just a possibility, even if there really is a poaching gang, how do you know that they captured Chizuru's father?"

"Oh, Sundae, you're really curious. "Mildly, is this guy really here to save people? This is not the Conan Theater!" "I'll make it clear, in fact, we've already met the gang of people." ”

"Huh?!"

"It's normal that you didn't notice it, after all, you haven't even seen your face. It's the same guy who called at the Pokémon Center before, didn't I go back and call? In that room, I smelled a lot of mud and fresh grass juice! Although it smelled more or less on the trainer in the wild, the smell he left behind was very strong, what would you do first if you came to the Pokémon Center with a lot of smell?"

"Uh, take a shower?"

"That's right, it's a bath. But he didn't, he, like me, didn't come to the accommodation but just to call. Why did such a poacher who was sneaking in and out of the grass suddenly come to the Pokémon Center to make a call?I'm afraid it's because they caught a ranger who found out about their poaching, and they're worried about how to solve this big problem!"

"Wait, wait! Sounds reasonable, but I always think that there are many places where other explanations can be used. "Sundae feels right for a while, and feels a little far-fetched for a while.

"Just sound reasonable! All kinds of accidents will eventually turn into an inevitability, and now you don't have the time to study those details!

"But ............"

"No, but! Join me in thinking about where those people would be hiding. Minato scolded, how can I continue to ink now, this is all a chapter, no, this has been dozens of minutes! We must find the hiding place of the poaching group as soon as possible!

So, where exactly are they hiding?
