"The last time I came to Feiyun City was a few years ago, and I feel that there are more high-rise buildings."

Sinnoh champion Zhulan tidied up her long golden hair that was blown by the wind, and steadily walked down Pokkiss, who was a flying mount, and looked at the modern city beside her with some emotion.

The elven ecology of the United region is completely different from that of the hometown of Sinnoh, and the air is full of pee-bean pigeons and kapok balls. The streets are full of Pokémon that are rare in Sinnoh, such as Little York and Shikika.

The person Champion Zhulan is talking to is named Hugo, who is a private investigator.

Seeing the Sinnoh champion swooping down from the sky, the Hugo detective was obviously taken aback.

However, this surprise did not last long, and Mr. Detective blocked the trolley he was pushing behind him, and smiled politely as he greeted and responded.

"Yo, long time no see, Zhulan."

The young detective has messy black hair like an artist, and his appearance is not bad, but the crumpled white blazer on his body is too shabby, giving people a casual and lazy impression.

He apologized to the Sinnoh champion who suddenly appeared, "I still have urgent business right now...... If you have a request, can you go to my office and wait for a while? ”

"It's the city villa called Hasu, right? I've been there. Looks like you're doing well in the United States?"

Thinking back to the courtyard building that looked out of place in the city center, and the oversized signboard of "Hugo's Detective Agency" hanging on the second floor, Zhulan gathered her blonde hair.

She looked at the detective in front of her suspiciously, as if she felt that the other party was a little weak?

"The gardener, Miss Reina, at the door, told me that every week at this time, you sneak into a certain deep alley of the city, so I came here to have a look, but I didn't expect to run into you on the way. Are you busy with some detective work? ”

"Uh...... Sort of, the business of the firm is still thriving, after all, there are many rich people here, and the private detective industry is still a blue ocean. ”

Intimidated by the aura of the champion, Hugo unconsciously took a step back, but collided with the trolley hidden behind him.

The contents of the cart, wrapped in white cloth, rolled and crashed against the iron frame with a dull sound.

Zhulan's eyes sharpened: "Hugo, can you show me what is covered under the white cloth in the cart?" ”

Hugo wanted to shake his head, but was glared at by Zhulan.

"Well, let's make a deal." The detective was in a hurry, "I can show you what's inside, and in exchange, you'll have to listen patiently to my explanation." ”

The Sinnoh Champion stared at the cramped detective for a moment, then nodded at the end.

Hugo looked around, found a greenery that was well hidden, and pushed the cart in.

Following behind the detective, Zhulan Champion pressed the Poké Ball on his waist and put his finger on the switch.

She had already vaguely guessed what was wrapped in the white cloth, for a faint smell had begun to emanate from the frame as the cart swayed as it moved—it was blood.

"Please don't be too surprised, it's just a corpse."

With Zhulan's personal promise, the detective is no longer inhibited. He lifted the white cloth like a magician, revealing what was underneath.

But the only audience couldn't be happier.

The corpse of an unrecognizable sentry rat was displayed in front of Zhulan, its back was covered with bloody whip marks, and the bloody qi was released at once, and it was hopelessly diffused in all directions.

Just when the atmosphere was at its worst, an inopportune electronic sound suddenly sounded, and a mobile phone Lothom flew out of Zhulan's black coat, like an old-fashioned elven illustrated book, reporting the information of the Pokémon in front of him-

"Sentry rats, the evolutionary form of the probe rats, are common creatures in the United region. Being cautious for rats and being able to see their surroundings even in the dark is a veritable vigilant Pokémon...... Oh my God, Loto! What's wrong with this sentry rat! Lothom couldn't comprehend the situation in front of him! ”

Obviously, the vigilant Pokémon in front of him has become a corpse, and it is slumped on the cart without warning.

The remains cannot be regarded as peaceful and peaceful, but can only be said to be miserable.

"Lothom, be quiet, and listen to this man's quibbles first."

The Sinnoh champion still clasped his finger on the button of the Poké Ball, and continued to wait for Hugo's explanation.

"Zhulan, you actually came at the right time, this is the moment to witness history."

The detective young man was not ashamed but proud, and raised his hand next to the corpse-

"Determining the time of death has always been a challenge in the field of post-mortem. The key is to analyze the difference between the time of death and the death of the organism. Unfortunately, in the presumption of death of Pokémon, the body temperature of different elves varies greatly, and the moves they drive can greatly disrupt the process of corpse change after death - so for a long time, such a presumption was difficult to be accurate to the hour. ”

"Lothom, is he telling the truth?"

Zhulan's voice was cold, and she didn't turn to Lothom when she asked, but just stared at Hugo, ready to bring the misguided detective to justice.

"The information about forensic science is accurate Loto, what the hell is going on here......"

"I can solve problems that cannot be solved by existing theories!" The detective loudly interrupted Lothom's questioning and continued to talk about his research—

"I've come up with a brilliant theory to solve the problem of presumption of time to death, and that's attribute resistance!"

"Attribute resistance? Lothom couldn't understand. The red phone flew in the air, and it circled around Hugo, as if trying to find the answer to the detective's question, but failed.

Hugo, like a teacher who teaches, explains in detail—

"A fire-based move attacking a water-type Pokémon will halve its power - this is resistance. And the latest research shows that resistance is greatly weakened on Pokémon's corpse after death, until it approaches a tiny ratio.

"According to the experimental studies done by previous people, we can get a pattern: after the Pokémon dies, there will be a loss of resistance on the corpse - the damage caused by the same force of attack will become more and more severe. If we calculate the resistance of the corpse for each period, we will see a curve that decreases sharply and then flattens out, getting closer and closer to zero.

"This phenomenon works on all corpses, whether it's a flaming horse wrapped in flaming fur or an ice ghost guard made of ice cubes, we can determine the moment of their death by measuring the remnants of resistance!

"If this method is used in the field of post-mortem examination, as long as the police forensic department can test the resistance of the Pokémon remains left at the scene, it can presume the moment of death of the strange elf to be accurate to the second! This will be a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of the presumption of alibi! ”

Talking about the results of his research, Hugo couldn't help but raise his arms proudly.

Lothom on the side also seemed to have forgotten the situation in front of him, and his mouth was wide open: "The theory is completely feasible!" There are no similar studies in the existing information base! Great discovery Loto indeed! ”

Only the champion remained grim-looking - the detective's research had no connection with the corpse of the sentry rat in front of him.

The detective cleared his throat and continued, "Unfortunately, my research is missing an important piece of the puzzle. This is because normal attributes don't have any attribute resistances. We can use the Worm to measure the Flying Race, the Poison System to measure the Ghost Species, and the Ice System to measure the Ice System itself - but we can't measure the resistance of the normal system, because this attribute has no resistance at all.

"A question worth pondering arises: as we all know, human force often does not work very well against Pokémon, so will attacks that do not contain Pokémon power be resisted by the kind of resistance in Pokémon's body? So, I started testing whether the whipping effect would be reduced when I touched the sentry rat carcass, and this is what I saw. ”

Zhulan nodded slightly, indicating that she understood the theory, and then, staring at Hugo's eyes, asked calmly-

"That is, you murdered a sentry rat for the sake of scientific development in the field of autopsy?"

Only then did the detective notice the expression of the tall blonde woman in front of him—a stiff smile at the corners of her mouth, her eyebrows already wrinkled together, and it was clear that tolerance had almost reached its limit.

The roar of a dragon biting a land shark echoed faintly in his ears......

"Don't forget the promise you made! Let me explain what happened! Hugo hurriedly bowed his head and pleaded.
