Chapter 024: Detective's Pre-Dinner Game

At the last moment, the figure of Eevee, who was about to break into trouble, disappeared inexplicably, as if it had never appeared.

Hugo and the tray in his hand remained in their original state, and all the creatures in the room breathed a sigh of relief almost in unison.

Looking in the direction where Eevee disappeared, the landlord and detective saw the blue of the flat Poké Ball, which turned out to be the girl who used the Poké Ball to recover Eevee who was about to get into trouble in time.

"I'm sorry my partner and I have caused you trouble." Bilan said apologetically, and she had to look at Hugo at this time, and opened her mouth in a trance, but she didn't say anything more, as if she had drunk a glass of bitter wine.

Sister Lan seemed to be fighting her spirits - the landlady saw Bilan's tiredness. Hugo, on the other hand, saw Bilan's thoughts as early as the two of them entered the door, which was a look that the client often showed.

After the Ibu sneezing crisis was resolved, Hugo continued to travel back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room, and out of the consideration that it was not too late to make amends, Douzi instructed the Yanwu King to stay away from the detectives.

The crunch of a large bottle of soda is a beautiful summer day, and the food is already on the table.

After splitting the pizza with a roller, Hugo suddenly took the initiative to start the conversation: "My hometown is a conservative and conservative town, and sometimes I pay attention to some bizarre table manners. One of them is that if there is a person at the table who has a lot of trouble, then that person has to talk about his troubles before the meal is over. ”

"What if that person doesn't want to say?" Douzi asked with interest.

"Then the rest of the table is free to guess." Hugo replied, "I guessed until the man told him what was troubled." ”

"Your hometown must be peaceful." Douzi commented seriously.

"It's peaceful, though." The detective lowered the pizza wheel, looking ready to start, "but there was a lot of noise at the table." ”

Douzi smiled very happily, and then she forced Bilan to the seat and took a seat herself: "This is really an interesting country rule, Sister Xiaolan, you must give it a try." ”

Bilan was still a little hesitant, she didn't know how to tell the story of the beginningless and unfinished incident, which was both clear and confusing, as if it had already ended, but it was like a fish in her throat - even if she said it at this time, what was the use?

"What type of Pokémon did you heal?" At the other end of the dining table, the detective's understated voice suddenly sounded, Douzi was startled, and Bilan was even more dumbfounded.

"The smell of blood is ten times stronger than the smell of sand, and since I can know that you have experienced sandstorms, I also know that you have been exposed to blood before this. There are many forms of contact with blood, but there are no obvious traces of blood on your body, indicating that you actively came into contact with blood after the incident; And since Douzi doesn't know the circumstances of this matter, it can be assumed that you didn't lose much time along the way—with both conditions, you are very limited in what you can do......"

Douzi on the side was dizzy when he heard this, but nodded with a confident expression: "I see, I fully understand, this is why Sister Xiaolan sulked, right?" ”

"It's first aid, right?" Hugo asked.

Obviously chatting about the bloody reasoning topic, the detective grabbed a piece of pizza and ate it nonchalantly, and bit down the tip full of cheese.

The topic naturally turned to Bilan, and in Hugo's penetrating aura, the previous sense of oppression that fell into a mystery had completely disappeared, and the experience of being stuck in the throat could finally be said smoothly at this time, without any embarrassment and stiffness.

"It was a warrior eagle that flew into a dead alley in search of a lost child, but was seriously injured for some reason."

Bilan began the narrative like this, and she told the story of the Warrior Eagle being injured today.

“…… Strangely, the child saw an elf flying into the alley from a distance, and no one or the elves ever entered it again, while the Warrior Eagle was seriously injured inside. ”

"Is there some dangerous elf hiding in the alley?" The outspoken Douzi speculated.

Blue shook her head, "I was the first person to walk into the alley after that, and I didn't see anything that could attack the Warrior Eagle." ”

The detective suddenly asked, "So what happened after that?" ”

So Bilan gave a general description of the situation of her mother and emergency doctor who arrived later.

"So, your claim that the Warrior Eagle entered the alley in order to track down the missing boy is just speculation?" The detective asks keenly.

"That's right." Azur honestly admits it. "The child and his family were separated, and then the mother's Pokémon began to track and search, except that getting lost can't explain the situation, right?"

"There's something strange here." Hugo said, "Since the children are lost and the elves are badly damaged, the mother must not know their exact location, and how did she find the child?" ”

Bilan was stunned, she had never thought about this problem.

"Also, why did the child who was tracked find out the whereabouts of the Warrior Eagle in turn? Why was he able to guarantee that no one had ever entered the alley, but he had never entered the alley himself to check on the Warrior Eagle? ”

Bilan was completely confused, but Douzi seemed to know the answer, and guessed loudly: "Of course, this is because the little boy lied, Hugo, you once said: lies are always in conflict and contradictory to each other." ”

"There are no contradictions in the blue narrative." Hugo shook his head, as if he was educating students who could not succeed, "The problem in her narrative is the disconnect between assumption and reality, which is the root of all irrationality." ”

The detective clapped his hands lightly, as if he was about to announce something important: "I have seen the truth about this incident, the mystery that the Warrior Eagle was injured in a dead end where no one has entered. ”

There was neither smugness nor joy on the detective's face, as if a civil servant was reading out some boring administrative statute.

"I said in this room this morning that there is no such thing as absolute good or evil, and that is a fitting phrase for this incident. In this case, you can find neither the most heinous murderers, nor the great things like justice and justice. The truth is boring and heavy, like gravity, which causes all good and illusory things to fall to the ground. ”

"I just want to know who really caused the Warrior Eagles to get hurt in this incident." As if it were a matter of course, Bilan made the same statement as the morning's position.

"Honestly, from the standpoint of a detective, I'd rather bury the truth of this incident. The Warrior Eagle has been rescued, and the prisoner will never repeat the mistakes of the past, and no one will be harmed by this twice. Looking at the bright blue eyes, Hugo sighed and continued, "But it seems that I have to say it now." ”

"If you don't say anything, you won't want to eat your own pizza today." Douzi waved his small fist and said indignantly.

"Ugh." Hugo sighed and continued very reluctantly, "There were three murderers, namely the Warrior Eagle, the little boy and his mother. ”
