"Murder and cremation of corpses is a big case, how can there be only so many people at the scene?"

Outside the lively scene of escorting the murderer to the police car, Hugo asked Junsha, who was standing next to him and was sorting out the mane of the thunderbolt zebra.

"Understaffed." Junsha, who had just solved the big case, was not happy, and spit out four words with a dark face.

"Oh?" The detective suddenly shook his spirits from the prostration of closing the case, and asked the officer, "The police have also noticed the abnormally high crime rate in Feiyun City this month?" ”

"We're tired and break our legs! This morning alone, the Public Security Division handled four incidents of trainer brawls, and many police officers even hung up their lottery, and their partners were also seriously injured. Other departments of the police department have a similar situation, and almost all kinds of vicious crimes are blooming, and everyone is very busy. ”

Miss Police Officer couldn't help but break down when she thought of the mountain of to-do items in the police station.

"And, Hugo, I said how long are you going to hide the truth of this case?"

"So you're still struggling with this." The detective's exaggerated expression of sudden realization was extremely irritating in Junsha's eyes.

"It's not just a struggle, since you suddenly said to me, 'By the way, the prisoner is in the hospital,' I've been confused about the whole thing!"

Junsha began to ask the detective a barrage of questions, "Why is this prisoner a woman?" Why did she have to come to the hospital to pick up the cool leopard? Why did Cool Leopard suddenly launch a sneak attack on the police? There are so many other questions that I can't figure out! ”

Hugo was shy and scratched his head: "In fact, for the detective, after solving the puzzle, the whole case begins to become boring." I always feel that retelling this kind of self-evident fact to others is really a lame performance of excessive self-awareness......"

"Don't start boring! Spit out the mystery to me right away! ”

Junsha and the lightning zebra beside him glared at the detective, especially the latter, whose voice was even more terrifying, and there was a faint electric light between the two white lightning-like manes on the top of his head.

Succumbing to the obscenity of the officer's partner, the detective finally begins to answer.

"If we want to solve this case, the most valuable clue in our hands is the police call full of lies - it is through this phone call that I can sort out the whole picture of the case."

"But as you said, that phone call was a lie."

"Lies can also be the key to the truth." The detective shook his finger incomprehensibly, "We might as well think of it this way, since the prisoner has gone to great lengths to report a false alarm, then the phone must contain information that is favorable to the real murderer." ”

"Because her purpose is to lead the police into misunderstanding?"

"Exactly." Hugo raised his eyebrows happily, "Then please recall, at the beginning of the case, what misunderstandings did the police step into because of this phone call?" ”

"The first is to mistake the corpse for a dead body due to an accident in battle...... No, even if we don't have a phone, we will step into this misunderstanding when we see the ground full of traces of battle......" Junsha recalled. "The misunderstanding that the other party really used the phone call to make us fall into should be that we deliberately let us reverse the identity of the murderer and the deceased."

Yes, the misunderstandings caused by phone calls are mainly focused on misleading the identity of the deceased. It convinces you that it was the thug who used the Cool Leopard who was killed, not the college student who used the Fried Pig. ”

"This is exactly what the corpses are burned for!" Junsha suddenly realized, "If it's just cremation, we can't confuse the two. ”

"Wherever they pass, there will be traces; Whatever is covered, there must be a cause; Whatever is revealed, there must be a purpose. ”

Hugo cocked up his index finger and continued.

"The real purpose of the prisoners is to keep you chasing the college students with fried pigs all over the city, and ignoring those with the characteristics of the gangsters. This arrangement was undoubtedly beneficial to the murderer himself, so from here on I added a few assumptions to my reasoning - according to the opposite principle of the telephone, I assumed that the prisoner was a gangster and the victim was a college student - which was a jump in logical reasoning, but it did help me find the truth. ”

"It's too nonsense." Jun Sha shook her head, "It's impossible for the police to arrest criminals in this way"

"This is a deductive deduction under reasonable conditions." Hugo replied nonchalantly, even a little proudly, "This is one of the reasons why the profession of private detective exists." ”

So, what happened next? For what reason did the prisoner kill the deceased? What really happened between Cool Leopard and Fried Pig? Junsha continued.

The detective stretched, as if he had done the hardest work, and was about to enter the territory he knew.

"Like the relationship between the prisoner and the victim, the relationship between the cool leopard and the fried pig has also been inverted."

"Huh? Huh? ”

"To put it simply, the gangsters and college students once exchanged the Pokémon of the two of them, and it is precisely because of this that the fried pig belonging to the gangster will attack the owner, and it is finally discarded by the gangsters, and it is precisely because of this that the cool leopard belonging to the college student resisted the attack of the fried pig for the gangsters, and the gangsters who are the murderers have to go to the hospital to get the victim's elf."

Hugo raised his index finger: "Only the elves exchange this explanation can straighten out all the information found at the crime scene." ”

Seeing that Junsha was still puzzled, the detective reminded: "This is also the situation that the murderer wants to hide on the phone, she doesn't need to mention the two types of Pokémon in detail, but she still explains this in detail - according to the experience obtained from previous reasoning, this is another misunderstanding set by the murderer." ”

Junsha was dumbfounded.

"Continuing with the case, after the gangsters exchanged Pokémon with the college students, for some reason, the gangsters who had already changed elves began to have a strong hatred for the college students - this reason is likely to be related to the cool leopard. So, she prepares a dagger and gasoline to try to kill the other party, and then retrieve the cool leopard that belongs to her. ”

The detective seemed to have entered a certain state, as if he had witnessed the whole case, and said endlessly.

"On the day of the crime, she invited the college student to the entrance of the sewer through her mobile phone, stabbed the college student to death with a dagger, then took the cool leopard's Poke Ball, poured gasoline on the college student's body, and prepared to wait until his face, fingerprints and other body information were burned before throwing the body into the sewer - this was her original plan."

The story in front of her was too unbelievable, and Junsha forgot to judge the truth of the reasoning for a while, and followed the detective's words and asked, "Then something unexpected happened?" ”

"That's right. There are stupidities and surprises in any crime. The detective said the line again. She accidentally brought the Poké Ball that she had exchanged for stir-fried pigs with her. ”

"Huh? Stir-fried pig? ”

The thug's assassination took place in an instant, and before Fried Pig could stop it, he watched in the Poké Ball as the college student who had nurtured him was stabbed in the abdomen with a dagger by his new owner. Next, the new owner took out a container full of gasoline and began to sprinkle ...... on the deceased."

Hugo's words were plain and long, but they seemed to bring Junsha back to the time of the crime, as if she felt empathy for the experience of the fried pig, and a burst of irreparable grief choked Junsha's heart.

The grief and anger caused the fried pig to break free from the shackles of the Poké Ball, and the orange-red pig monster appeared beside the cremator in the emerald red light. The thug was stunned by this sudden accident, and could only watch as the black hoof claws were about to hit her......"

"And then what happened?"

Cool Leopard also broke free of the Poké Ball and appeared on the stage to fight with Fried Pig. The traces of the on-site battle were left at that time. The winner of the battle should be Cool Leopard, after all, it still has the command of the trainer...... In short, in the end, the lone fried pig was defeated and fell into a near-death state. ”

Junsha was stunned, wanting to refute something but couldn't find any basis.

If you think about it, all the conditions at the scene are completely consistent with the detective's reasoning, but how does this explain the fact that the thug did not run away after the crime, but ran to the hospital?

"You must want to ask why that thug ran to the hospital instead, right?" The detective asks empathetically, but because he guessed too accurately, it made Junsha feel a little frightened.

"By the trash can, my reasoning is also stuck in this place. But after listening to the facts of the case you sorted out at that time, I figured it out. ”

"It's offensive to me to use 'instead' in this place." Junsha replied with a displeased face.

The detective ignored the officer's complaints and continued to explain the case.

"That's because there was a new situation at the time of the incident - although the winner of the one-on-one battle was Cool Leopard, it was by no means undamaged, on the contrary, it was likely that it had already been hit hard to protect its owner when it resisted the first round of raids by Fried Pigs."

Jun Sha imagined the scene of the cool leopard sacrificing himself to protect the murderer's master, and her expression couldn't help but become serious. And the mystery of the case is gradually becoming clear in the detective's explanation.

"Although serious injuries are common in Pokémon battles, if the injured Pokémon is left untreated, and wait until the good Samaritan passing by sends the Cool Leopard to the Elf Center, then the Cool Leopard will inevitably encounter a danger to his life. And if you send it to the elf center yourself, it will definitely be registered, and the body will definitely be suspected after it is found. So there was only one strategy left for her. ”

"Then she called the police to ......"

"That's right, it's to save the cool leopard." Hugo replied simply.

In order to save her partner, she abandoned her more elaborate plan and instead resorted to a trick to swap identities with the Faceless Corpse, improvised a messy lie. At noon today, the murderer dialed into the Feiyun City Police Station and told the call that was full of lies - it was a shame that she was able to come up with the idea of using a mobile phone app to turn into a male voice...... Then, the killer retrieves the unconscious fried pig back from the Poké Ball and throws it into a trash can in the distance along with the gasoline bottle - she must have hoped that the fried pig would die silently like this. ”

"I still don't understand." Jun Sha raised her hand like a student and asked, "Why did the murderer personally go to the hospital to pick up Cool Leopard?" She should have been able to escape on her own. ”

"Because Cool Leopard is her only Pokémon." The detective sighed.

"Killing people is a dangerous thing. If the murderer still has Pokémon other than Cool Leopard, she will definitely bring them on the day of the crime. At the crime scene, we only found traces of a fight between Cool Leopard and Fried Pig - which means that she only has this Pokémon. If she leaves the Leopard behind, she'll be completely alone......"

Hugo looked up at the sky that had been swallowed up by darkness and sighed.

"In this world, it takes a lot of awareness and courage to travel without a single Pokémon. I know this very well. ”
