Hugo eventually escaped from the café.

Although the Zhulan champion was decisive in killing, he had a good conscience after all, and did not order the fierce bite of the land shark to attack his younger brother.

At that time, the troubled detective suddenly got up, grabbed the back of the chair and climbed out of the seat, got rid of the encirclement of Zhulan, the fierce bite of the land shark, and the wall, and rushed out of the door of the café, fleeing like a Pokémon with the characteristics of "escape".

The blonde champion stared at the scene calmly, didn't say anything, just picked up the glass of smoothie, drank it with a blank face, and then paid a lot of tips to the stunned waiter.

Opening the suitcase, Zhulan looked at the three Pokémon inside.

These are already the three best personalities among the elves she has personally selected in the Yamanashi Research Institute, how can she get Hugo to accept them?

The Fierce Bite Land Shark tilted its head, completely ignorant of the current situation. After so many years, it still hasn't figured out the subtle way of getting along with the siblings......

……

Outside the café.

After turning around, the detective, who confirmed that he had escaped the pursuit of the champion sister, gasped for breath in the deep alley.

At this moment, the tremor of the mobile phone came from the pocket, and a melodious and eerie ringtone rang.

When I opened the screen, it was a call from the police, Miss Junsha from the Feiyun City Police Department.

"Hey, ahem...... This is Hugo. ”

"I'm Junsha, there was a murder at the third exit of the sewer, the body was burned and unrecognizable, and there were no valuable clues at the scene. Is it convenient to come to the scene now, hey, you don't sound very well? ”

Hugo quickly glanced at the timetable next to the subway station and replied: "It's very convenient, I'll be there in eighteen minutes, and I'm gasping for breath because I just ran out of the house at a sprint speed to buy ice cream with a limited-time discount." ”

"Ice cream? Is it Feiyun Ice Cream? But it's not Tuesday. ”

Junsha's voice came from the receiver of her phone, and she seemed to be easily distracted by the ice cream.

Local specialty Feiyun ice cream is so popular that it is usually only available on Tuesdays, and the ice cream parlor is closed in winter, making it even more difficult to get hold of Feiyun ice cream, which is already in short supply.

"No, it's a common breed on the street, do I want to bring one for you?"

Out of politeness, and also to tie up his precious connections in the Feiyun Police Station, Hugo asked casually.

“………………”

The police officer on the other end of the phone was in a deep psychological struggle.

At the end of the twenty-second long test, an unwilling voice came from the mobile phone: "No need, if there is a policeman next to the charred corpse eating ice cream, the impact will not be good." ”

Too long to hesitate! Hugo complained silently in his heart.

。

Eighteen minutes later, taking the subway traffic in Feiyun City, a detective in a cold white suit came to the scene of the murder. Miss Junsha was seen dressed in a beige police uniform in the United Territories, and the charred corpse inside the blockade.

"Originally, there was also an injured Cool Leopard here, who was also injured by the flames, but it was only a minor injury, and it has been sent to the Elf Center for treatment."

Withdrawing from the colleagues who were collecting evidence, Junsha explained the case to the detective who was wearing white rubber gloves.

This Miss Junsha is a senior police officer of the Feiyun City Police Department, who usually hosts public security cases, but somehow, she actually came to preside over the murder scene today.

"There are unusually many clashes in the city today, and the police department can't be deployed on a temporary basis."

Junsha saw Hugo's doubts and took the initiative to explain it empathetically.

"Forced duels, retaliatory battles, capture disputes, and the use of high-powered skills in public places...... Feiyun City has been getting more and more chaotic lately, and trainers often fight over trivial matters. ”

The police officer's lady spread her hands and continued to explain the current incident.

"At first, we only heard that there was a vicious Pokémon battle here, and when we arrived at the scene, we found that someone had died, and the follow-up investigators have not yet arrived. The identity of the deceased is unknown, and the murderer is likely on the run, so I thought I would ask you to help investigate the scene first. ”

Junsha's decision was wise, and the detective who had been hired nodded in agreement as she looked around.

The scene of the crime was near the entrance to the sewer and was surrounded by a wasteland with visible traces of fire around it.

A charred male corpse lay in total darkness in front of the entrance to the staircase. The ground in front of the corpse has claw marks, craters from impacts, and scorch marks from Pokémon Spitfire.

Looking at the corpse again, his gaze lingering on the deceased's face for a moment, Hugo asked Junsha, "Cremation after death?" ”

The police officer nodded: "There are no goose claw-like changes in the corners of the eyes, and the eyelashes are scorched inside and out, which is very obvious for postmortem cremation." ”

The eyes were closed before being burned, which caused goose-claw-like folds to appear at the outer corners of the eyes, and similarly, there was a marked difference in the scorching of the tips and roots of the eyelashes - there was no abnormality in the corners of the eye's eyes on the outside of the corpse, and the eyelashes were evenly charred from the outside to the inside, indicating that the deceased's eyes were relaxed when they were burned - so they must have been killed and burned.

"How was the body found?"

"Two hours ago, the police station received a report from a public phone booth that they had witnessed an overly intense elf battle, in which a gangster and a college student used a cool leopard and a fried pig respectively, and the college student seemed to be a little emotional and instructed the fried pig to attack the trainer directly. The informant felt that the situation was not right, and after staying away from the scene, he called the police. ”

Junsha flicked her short dark green hair under her police hat, recalling the situation when she received the alarm.

"The informant did not state his name, and although his tone was anxious, he was not very flustered, and he was probably not affected by the murder." She added.

"Two hours...... It's enough for the murderer to escape to any corner of Feiyun City......" The detective pondered for a long time, and then asked, "Except for the cool leopard who sent away, is everything at the scene still the same?" ”

"Yes. However, there were no personal belongings left at the scene, and the identity of the deceased could not be confirmed for the time being. Moreover, the forensic doctor has not yet arrived at the scene, and the cause of death of the deceased cannot be determined. The current direction of the search is to trust the police call, and the whole city is searching for the college student trainer who carried the fried pig, and he must not be allowed to flee to other places. ”

The detective was noncommittal, carefully crouching down in front of the corpse, which was more of a humanoid mass of black charcoal than a corpse. Not to mention fingerprint palm prints, even clothes are burned to the point that they are unrecognizable.

"Haven't the on-site investigators from the police station arrived yet?"

"Still on the way here, the police didn't expect a murder before...... Hey, Hugo! ”

Junsha suddenly discovers that Hugo, who was talking to him, is missing.

Looking down, I saw the detective holding the ground with his gloved hands, and actually lay down in front of the corpse.

Almost with his face pressed against the corpse, the detective twitched his nose deeply.

Before Junsha could reprimand him further, Hugo had already gotten up again, dusting off his trouser legs, and his face showed the pleasure of finding his prey.

Looking at the detective who seemed to be reminiscing about the smell of corpses, Miss Police Officer sighed: "I finally know why your white suit is always so shabby." ”

"It's not the time to care about what you're wearing, listen, it's not some kind of negligent accident from a fight-"

Hugo stared into the eyes of the senior police officer in front of him.

"It's murder together."

。

"This is already the third trash can we've seen along the way, do you still have to dump the contents out and check it? What exactly is the murderer who you are talking about discarding! ”

Jun Sha helplessly crossed her arms and watched the detective's performance, and there were already two trash cans on the side of the road behind her, which were tragically murdered by the detective.

Hugo in front of him had just taken off his gloves and was touching his cleanly shaved chin, carefully observing the iron trash can in front of him.

Follow the direction of the sewer exit, where the garbage cans are at the junction of the wasteland and the residential area. It is impossible for the murderer to flee outside the inaccessible city, if the interpretation is correct......

"Junsha." The detective greeted Miss Officer and pointed to the end of the alley. "What do you think of this bucket?"

"How's that?" Junsha was confused, she began to regret leaving the scene with the detective, rummaging through the streets for trash cans, are they broken bags that feed on garbage?

"First of all, it's broad daylight, and the trash can is supposed to be in use, but the lid is tightly on the bucket; Secondly, although the area is remote, there are regular cleaners to deal with the hygiene, and there is some wet garbage scattered next to this garbage can, and there are still undried water stains on it. None of these were the first two bins we checked......"

"This trash can has been turned over!" Junsha reacted.

"Clever. Remember to test the grip of the lid for fingerprint marks later. "But now that the murderer is on the run, allow me to be rough for now." ”

He put on his new gloves again, handed the round lid that was tightly on top of the trash can to Junsha on the side, and then unceremoniously grabbed the handle of the trash can and completely flipped it over!

All kinds of household garbage are scattered all over the ground, emitting a foul smell that makes people discolor.

“…… Yes! ”

This was the third time in front of her, but Junsha still instinctively turned her head to avoid the smell, but when her peripheral eyes scanned something rolling out of the pouring garbage, she couldn't help but choke on her words and turned into a shocked sigh.

Avoiding the garbage around him, the detective carefully picked up the object—

Red and white, the same as the suitcase in the café Zhulan, Pokémon Poké Ball.

"It's fried pigs! The Pokémon that killed the dead, it seems that the college student deliberately discarded it in order to destroy the evidence of the crime! ”

The sharp-eyed Junsha instantly recognized the Pokémon in the ball and told Hugo her speculation.

"Now this fried pig is in a coma, and he should have been exhausted and unconscious after the battle...... The facts of the case are basically clear, the fried pig lost control in the battle, killed the victim, and then burned the body. And the college student abandoned his Pokémon out of fear during the flight, after all, it had killed people"

"Big mistake!"

Hugo puts the Poké Ball in the evidence bag and unceremoniously throws it to Junsha, interrupting her flawed reasoning.

"It's not the pigs that kill people, and the ones who burn the corpses are not the pigs."

The detective bends down again and picks up something that had been spilled from the trash can along with the Poké Ball—a rectangular water bottle.

Unscrewing the cap, Hugo sniffed the mouth of the bottle, revealing that it was indeed so.

"It's not Pokémon's move that burns the corpse—"

With the bottle mouth facing down, a few drops of yellow, clear, viscous liquid slowly drip down.

"It's burning gasoline."
