Chapter 016: Blue from True New Town
Bilan, who travels to the United area, first met Hugo at a café near the Yusu Residence, where she was leisurely drinking coffee, and the floor-to-ceiling windows let the tragic situation of the two-story building next to her come into view.
At that time, the Hasu Mansion was about to catch fire, and thick smoke came out of the window, and a young man in a white coat first took out three smoke-black beginner Pokémon from the house, and gently threw them into the courtyard, and then walked back to the house with the smoke, and soon the smoke gradually subsided, and the man walked out with two cans of used dry ice fire extinguishers and threw them at the garbage collection point outside the courtyard.
The fire crisis seems to have been resolved smoothly...... Bilan breathed a sigh of relief and put down the fire alarm phone in her hand.
Little fire monkey, Bogaman, grass seedling turtle...... The chestnut-haired shawl girl identified the Pokémon that were brought out one by one, and it turned out to be a whole set of beginner spirits in the Sinnoh region.
These three Pokémon looked pitiful, and when they saw each other's gray and funny appearances, they couldn't help but laugh, and the relationship seemed to be very good. The young man in the white coat, who used a fire extinguisher to break the smoke, was watching them fight with a helpless expression.
Blue couldn't help but have eyes shining, even in Dr. Ohki's research institute, she had never encountered these three Pokémon.
Speaking of Sinnoh, she couldn't help but think of the news she had just seen in the United Press, the front page was a photo of the Sinnoh champion receiving the Guardian of the United Forces, Miss Zhulan said that she had solved the incident at hand when she visited a friend, but firmly denied a series of actions in the past in the United Forces, many media speculated that the champion was on a secret mission in the United Forces, so he spoke only to hide his whereabouts.
It's really tiring to be a champion...... The same is true of the red guy, on the surface, he said that he settled on the Silver Mountain to cultivate, but in fact, he was not busy running around the world as a firefighter, and he couldn't see anyone every time he visited.
The girl sighed and continued to drink black coffee with only sugar cubes, she had come here today to meet a friend who was said to have a nice place to stay during her journey.
After a cup of coffee, the person she was waiting for arrived.
A tall girl in a hat appears at the door of the café like a star. The high ponytail is tied up from the back of the cap, and the combination of a white tank top and a black jacket with denim shorts looks vibrant.
"Sister Lan, I didn't expect you to come to Hezhong!"
Watching the junior who was half a head taller than him, Ru Yan squeezed into the seat next to him, and a smile also appeared on Bilan's face: "Long time no see, Douzi." ”
After some intimate interaction between girlfriends, Douzi sat down in the seat opposite Bilan and ordered a cup of iced fruit tea to the waiter.
Speaking of which. What do you think of Hasutei? Still satisfied? Douzi put aside the straw, raised his cup and drank fruit tea, and asked casually.
Bilan showed a surprised expression: "Yuqi Mansion? Are you going to introduce me to the apartment where I stayed? Is it around here? This is the center of Feiyun. ”
Douzi laughed heartily and pointed out the window at the two-storey building that almost caught fire ten minutes ago: "It's not an apartment, Yuqi Mansion is a great city villa!" ”
It turned out to be the two-storey building that almost caught fire! Xiaolan was taken aback, she thought that the building introduced by Douzi would be a cheap apartment such as a homestay, but she didn't expect it to be a villa, still in the city center!
"But isn't there a person living there? On the second floor, there is a signboard of the office. ”
In the sunlight, the metal signboard of "Hugo's Detective Agency" resembles a giant glowing business card. However, it seems that the owner of the office has returned to the house with the elves, and he will probably have to deal with the problems caused by the fire, right?
"That's the tenant, and the guy who lives in it complained to me about the rent last month. You can ask him to vacate the second floor for you to live in. Douzi said with a relaxed face, "The guy inside is called Hugo, and he is a very reliable detective, but don't let him command Pokémon, that man is disastrously clumsy in this regard." ”
I've seen it with my own eyes. Thinking back to the smoke coming out of the window, Blue couldn't help but ask again in a confirmed tone, "A reliable detective?" ”
"There's no better detective in the whole of the congregation than him." Douzi seems to have a high opinion of the man.
The energetic girl drinking fruit tea continued, "I remember the first time I met that detective, he was dealing with a kidnapping case. At that time, I went to a rich man's country house and wanted to buy the Hasu Mansion from him. And the detective happened to come to that villa, it turned out that he had accepted the commission of the rich man before, and this time he came to solve the case completely - that is, I stepped into the classic detective in the mystery movie! ”
The girlfriend seemed to be in a hurry to tell an interesting story, so Bilan ordered another cup of coffee and listened with interest.
The story takes place ten months ago, when the detective did not have an office, Douzi was still an innocent girl with a huge amount of money earned from the league bidding tournament and nowhere to squander, and the owner of the Yusu Mansion was a real estate tycoon who everyone in Feiyun City knew about it.
A Pokémon in the rich man's house was kidnapped, and the kidnappers who stole the elves left a note in the place where the Pokémon usually lived, asking the Monopoly to prepare a ransom of one million yuan, and put the ransom box under a bench in a certain park, and when the kidnappers received the ransom, they would return the Pokémon as agreed.
To be honest, the kidnappers' demands in the note are really unfair to the rich man, after all, no one can guarantee that the kidnappers will not take a million and still refuse to admit it, they may break their promise and not let the elf go, and they may even continue to extort ransom from the rich man in a desperate state.
But the real estate dealer was so fond of his Pokémon that a million was not a lot of money for him, so the rich man decided to follow the kidnapper's instructions.
At the same time, the rich man thought of the strategy of hiring a private detective, and invited the famous detective Hugo, who was just starting out in Feiyun City at that time, to ambush the place where the ransom was placed and keep an eye on them, track the kidnappers who withdrew money from the park bench, and confirm their hiding place. If the kidnappers rebel, the rich man can directly send bodyguards and guards to reclaim the elves according to the address tracked down by the detectives.
The detectives had suggested putting a tracker in the ransom box to make it easier to find the kidnappers' lair. But the rich man was afraid that something would happen to his favorite Pokémon, and he resolutely refused to take such a move, which was easy to be discovered by the kidnappers.
So the detective hid near the park bench according to the rich man's instructions and began to monitor the one million ransom that was placed under the park bench day and night......
"And then the reliable detective followed the kidnappers' trail to their lair?" Blue asked, she thought the story was a bit bland, and the detective looked like a paid dogleg in the story, neither reliable nor handsome.
"Quite the opposite." "On the day of the transaction, the box containing the money under the bench disappeared in the blink of an eye in front of the detective, leaving only a shallow dirt pit at the scene. ”
