Bilan opened her eyes from her sleep, struggled to break free from the limbs of the landlady who shared the bed, and got up and opened the curtains.

Suddenly, the early morning sun sprinkled on the faces of the girls through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Yuqi Mansion, and the bucket who was still lying on the bed moaned, wrapped his head in the quilt and continued to sleep, like a treasure cocoon wrapped in leaves.

Is this friend of his too leisurely, Bilan can't help but think.

The process of staying in the Yuqi Mansion was much simpler than Blue had expected, and just as the detective had planned, Hugo triumphantly showed her the second floor that had been cleaned up on the night of her meeting with Hugo.

Probably because of his profession, Hugo was a bachelor, but the house was well organized - if Blue knew how much of a powerful sister the detective had to take care of, she might have understood why.

"Except for the small archive room next to the stairs, you can use all the space on the second floor freely." Blueblue remembers Hugo's introduction to the distribution of the rooms.

"I hope you don't see this as an encroachment on your personal space. This archive is rarely used, and is usually only opened when the case is closed, at which point I will let you know in advance. All the materials I need to investigate the case have been moved downstairs, including the ones on the table, and I usually keep them in the study on the first floor for easy access. ”

At that time, the detective also pointed to a large pile of plasma clues piled up on the living room table, to prove that he did not need to use the archives to investigate the crime.

Blue also curiously asked about the true purpose of the archives, and Hugo replied-

"Old case files are the last line of defense for detectives before they run out of water. New detectives often linger in the archives because their archives are always full of failures and mysteries, and older detectives like to put a chair in the archives to soothe their old brains and hearts with the glory of the past. I am neither the former nor the latter, and I am at a stage in time where I need to distance myself from the archives. ”

Although I don't know if this is or boasting, overall, Azur is very satisfied with the current sharing environment.

The Mansion has a luxurious interior decoration commensurate with its location, with multiple separate bathroom systems and a spacious balcony on the second floor, which will give way to the high-rise buildings in the city every morning, casting just the right amount of sunlight into the interior.

It's the treatment of a super high-end hotel.

Ready to go out, Bilan walked up the stairs to the detective office on the first floor, and was greeted by the detectives' Sinnoh Gosanya and Douzi's Pokémon.

This group of elves with different attributes were lying together in love with each other at this time, and although the sun was already shining, they were still sleeping lazily on the bed with the same virtue as Douzi.

If you look closely, your little Eevee is also mixed in with this group of sleepers, lying on the soft green body of the double egg cell ball, and the fluffy tail is held by Bogaman, and the body rises and falls with an even exhalation.

Bilan is a little helpless, or ...... You won't take little Eevee out of the house, right?

Suddenly I smell the aroma of coffee.

Only then did Blue notice the detective behind the bar in the restaurant, where Hugo was swiping his smartphone with a cup of coffee, and there was a stack of newspapers in his hand, which had already been turned over.

"Is this also work? Detectives read the newspaper every morning? The girl asked curiously.

The detective put down his glass: "Good morning, Blue, you're right, this is the boring detective industry." We have to admit that print newspapers and periodicals have a depth of information that digital media cannot match, and it is more convenient to crop out the photos of the people involved in the case. On top of that, a private investigator with a morning newspaper at hand looks much more serious than a detective with a mystery novel at hand. ”

"That's right." Bilan took the coffee pot handed by the detective, poured herself a cup, as usual only put sugar cubes without milk, and began to sip while mentioning her itinerary, "I'm going to go out to see the Warrior Eagle who was injured yesterday." ”

"There is a nice flower shop next to the station, be careful not to buy one with a flower pot, this is a taboo in Hezhong." Hugo kindly suggested, "That seems to represent a long-term illness." ”

"Hugo, I have a question for you, your reasoning yesterday was quite wonderful, but you shouldn't have any concrete evidence at hand when you make your inferences, right? Aren't you worried that your reasoning might be wrong, Hugo? ”

"To be honest, I don't regret it even if it goes wrong."

"Why?"

"There is often a situation in mystery novels where the detective finds out who the murderer is, but due to insufficient evidence, he has to tolerate the criminal's actions and wait until the prisoner shows more of his feet before arresting him." Hugo put away his phone and said seriously.

"But that's not right. While the detective waits for the time to stop the investigation, the prisoner is also likely to continue to commit atrocities, and if the detective sits idly by just to reduce the possibility of mistakes, then he is in breach of his duty. So my credo is to take immediate action when I notice something unusual. When there is really nothing you can do, immediately share your reasoning with the person concerned or someone who has the ability to resolve the incident. ”

"Great principle." Azur complimented, and then she said, "If all the detectives are people like you, I think it's a great job." ”

"If you don't consider the risks, detectives are really good careers in Hezhong. Unlike Sinnoh, the Alliance's indulgence of the private detective industry is comparable to a rotten fishing net full of loopholes, the laws related to illegal investigations are extremely inadequate, the protection of clients is close to none, and the industry tax rate is quite benevolent. That's one of the reasons why I was able to live in the Hasu Mansion with peace of mind before you arrived. ”

"Hugo." Bilan suddenly solemnly called out the detective's name, "I'm going out this time to meet the trainer of the Warrior Eagle, if your reasoning hits the bull's-eye......"

In the detective's surprised gaze, the girl took a deep breath: "Please let me be your helper!" ”

"Oh?" Hugo tilted his head to look at Bilan from top to bottom, it was difficult to tell what kind of complicated expression he had on his face at this time, it seemed to be between moved and surprised, but for some reason it was a little bitter.

"I can help you solve the case, conduct detective investigations, reason with you, and deal with the chores in the agency - I hope to join the Hugo Detective Agency!" Bilan said expectantly as she took out the business card of Detective Hugo in her pocket and handed it back to the owner of the office.

"I'm so happy, if I have the privilege." Finally, the detective regained his composure, and couldn't help but smile a little self-contained, "In that case, the rent I saved this month will be spent elsewhere." ”

It seems that he is not as worried about his reasoning as he said earlier.

。

The wards are white.

Nurses dressed in white with white walls, white sheets, and occasional visits to the ward.

The Warrior Eagle is lying on the bed wrapped in a white bandage, with a complex infusion tube inserted into his body - the infusion set that controls the flow rate of the hanging bottle is also white.

Blue is actually familiar with such a scene.

In high-level Pokémon battles, the impact is more violent than the 30-story free fall, and even if the attacker has the same level of physical strength and defense as the attacker, there are often unfortunate accidents on the field.

Advanced trainers must learn a skill that allows them to bandage a Pokémon that is too battered to continue playing, while directing the next Pokémon to fight their opponents.

Her team had luckily never experienced any of this, but had seen such tragedies happen over and over again. Over time, she also became a regular visitor to the hospital.

"Mom, it's the big sister of the day." A childish voice interrupted Bilan's thoughts, it was the little boy.

My mother, who had been in touch with each other, came out from behind the curtain, and she was much haggard compared to yesterday.

Bilan handed her the pale yellow carnation bouquet in her hand: "I was a little worried about the recovery of the Warrior Eagle, so I wanted to come and see, the operator of the emergency phone happened to be the one from yesterday, and he kindly told me the location of the ward." ”

The mother held Bilan's hand tightly: "Thank you very much for yesterday's incident, you saved the life of the warrior eagle." I can't imagine what would have happened if you hadn't been there. ”

The child hid behind his mother and cowered in front of Bilan, and it took a long time for Zhiwu to take the initiative to walk to the front with red eyes.

"Big sister, I'm sorry." The boy spoke with a crying tone.

"Actually, I accidentally let Hawkhawk's Poké Ball fall off. And I also said big sister, you are ......" Big tears overflowed from the corners of the boy's eyes, and Bilan hurriedly squatted down to comfort the child, so that he didn't have to say any more, he had forgiven him.

His fingers gently wiped the tears from the child's face, but the blue eyes couldn't help but look at someone behind the boy.

I saw that the mother leaned slightly sideways and covered her face with her hands, as if she didn't want to see her child admit her mistake, and her hands holding her cheeks trembled uncontrollably, as if she was hiding her shame.

Bilan's heart sank.
