Chapter 037: Four Suspects in the Institute

"Ma'am, these are some of the affair investigation reports you commissioned, and I'm glad that there is no real infidelity in them. The indecent photographs of the husband who blackmailed the wife have been confirmed to be computer fakes, and the two places in the photos show obvious stitching marks; The rumor that the young lady's fiancé had a lover was not true, and he had a definite alibi in the company during the time the two were rumored to have been in a relationship; And this gentleman and the young lady were just normal social contacts, and this scanned document can prove that they were only doing business, and that the young lady had already taken a plane to another town on the night that the gentleman did not return home......"

Luzi Town, Douzi's home, Douzi, who is a daughter, is left to dry, and the detective and his wife are whispering suspiciously.

“…… And the one you take special care of, I use my career as a guarantee, and he has never done anything to be sorry for you when he is in the field. Here's a timeline of his recent period and a list of women he's been in contact with...... You can rest assured that all of this evidence was obtained legitimately, and that the investigation cannot be discovered by anyone......"

"Mr. Detective is really reliable, when Douzi just bought the mansion in Yuqi Mansion with random money, I thought she had some bad assets, but since Mr. Detective, who has the ability to stand out, has chosen it as the location of the office, I don't have to worry about not being able to collect rent and other problems." Douzi's mother smiled happily.

The daughter complained very unhappily: "Mom, when did you have such a good relationship with Hugo?" Have you secretly entrusted him with an investigation into something shady again? Feed! Don't blatantly dig out your wallet in front of me to settle the commission fee! ”

Ever since Douzi made a lot of money from competitions, her mother naturally stepped into the social circle of noblewomen in the United Territories, and as a long-sleeved dancer in the group of Pokémon trainers in her youth, she quickly accumulated a lot of contacts in the upper class of the wealthy.

Since meeting Hugo, this lady has taken on the role of emotional know-it-all in the social circle on her own, and her mantra is "leave this matter to me, I know a very good detective", and it has indeed brought Hugo a lot of commissions.

As an intermediary, Madame herself certainly has a rich commission.

In the living room of Douzi's house, Hugo counted the banknotes with satisfaction, and did not shy away from Douzi, boasting: "If there are any similar cheating investigations, leave them all to me." Some people say that a woman in love is the best detective, but intuitive guesses are not as good as ironclad evidence, and finding a professional detective to investigate is definitely the best way to reassure the wife. And I'm the best detective in the United States, so trust me! Hugo's detective agency can definitely investigate the truth of the derailment within the scope of legality, the fastest, most accurate and without leaving a trace. ”

"Please don't take it upon yourself to be proud of your tracking, tailgating, eavesdropping technology." Douzi reminded angrily, "I remember that you will go to the Yew Research Institute early tomorrow morning to investigate, and go to our family's rare guest room early to rest." ”

Douzi's mother suddenly became interested, and blinked her eyes and interjected: "Dr. Yew is an old friend of my mother, and I also have a clear grasp of the things around Luzi Town. What do you want to investigate? Maybe I can help. ”

Hugo and Douzi looked at each other, and the latter sighed helplessly, and had to tell his mother about the strange fact that sixty trainers in the institute had chosen otters as their initial partners.

"I think that's normal." Douzi's mother didn't realize the strangeness of the matter at all, but said amazingly, "You see how cute the water otter is, I like the water otter's self-righteous and somewhat clumsy appearance very much." ”

"But that's more than 60 people in a row! Hugo and I both think it's probably not a matter of preference, it's definitely someone behind it! ”

"Well, if it's not a coincidence, my mother can't think of any way to make people have to choose otters." Mother shook her head regretfully.

The detective suddenly spoke: "Madam, do you know all the staff in the Yew Research Institute?" ”

Douzi pricked up his ears, could it be that Hugo had narrowed down the scope of the suspect to the internal members of the institute?

"Yes. In addition to her, Dr. Yew's research institute has three resident graduate assistants, as well as another scholarly uncle who studies elven ecology. Almost everyone who lives in Luzi Town knows them. ”

"Are you impressed with the four of them?"

"I want to think about it...... The scholar uncle was a bit of a secluded man, and I didn't meet him much, but I was familiar with the other three student assistants. ”

I probably felt that I had come in handy in the investigation, Douzi's mother said happily.

"The three students were all boys, one of whom was Matsubara, the second son of a wealthy family, who seemed to be cynical about the work of the institute as a hobby; One was named Yamashita, who was the most cheerful of his assistants, and was very good at nurturing elves; There's also a guy called Furuya, who is the tail of the crane in the research institute and is often reprimanded by yew for carelessness, but he doesn't look like a person who can do bad things. ”

"So madam, if the otters are collected in large quantities by the trainers, is it possible for any of these four to profit?" Hugo asked as he took notes.

Madame subconsciously shook her head, and felt that she seemed to be sorry for the detective, so she had to rack her brains and think for a while, and then she said, "So to speak. It seems that the Matsubara family is running some kind of water conservancy project, so maybe there is a habitat for otters there, so they can come into contact with a lot of otters, right? Could it be that Songwon deliberately gave otters to trainers to help the family business? ”

Hugo listened carefully to the information provided by Douzi's mother, and nodded his head like a pheasant pecking rice, but he had already put a huge question mark on this speculation in his heart.

As the second son in a family, Songwon is not the direct heir to the family business. In his case, he probably doesn't have the ambition to venture into the water otter market.

"It's also possible that this person from Yamashita is the murderer who committed this strange crime." Douzi, who was listening while eating snacks at home, suddenly interjected, "He must like cultivating Pokémon very much, right?" It must be unwilling to hand over the initial Pokémon he cultivated to those rookie trainers from unknown sources, so he used some kind of trick to make all the newcomers who came choose otters. ”

"Isn't that right? Wasn't the water otter also bred by him? Why was he willing to let the otter go away? The detective immediately choked.

Douzi was speechless, and her mother continued to analyze the possibility that Furuya was the last profiteer-

Furuya must have resonated with the otter on his carelessness, and as a result, he became a big believer in the otter, and he probably often sold the otter's benefits to every trainer who came to him. Under the influence of this behavior, it is only natural that people who come to this city to receive Pokémon will tend to receive otters, right? ”

"Uh......" Hugo asked awkwardly, "you just said that Furuya often sells the benefits of water otters to trainers, right?" But the novice trainer doesn't have an obvious identity, and he should be able to talk to all the new faces he hasn't met. Have you ever witnessed something like that? ”

"Never." Douzi and her mother replied in unison.

Hugo looked at the mother and daughter duo with a headache. The mother and daughter are like yes in every sense.
