In the town of arabesque, Hugo and Bilan happily rushed to the road with the mood of an outing.

The successful cracking of the case is the happiest moment for the detective and his assistant. Especially this time, Bilan saw through the prisoner's tricks alone, which made this happiness even better.

However, the detective next to the assistant was suddenly disturbed by a ringing phone.

The ringtone was as harsh as metal friction, and it had a bit of a mysterious and illusory feeling, like the roar of some unknown creature, but no matter how you think about it, it doesn't sound good, and I don't know why the detective took this strange sound as a call reminder.

Seeing the caller's note, Hugo begged Bilan to avoid it, so the assistant could only watch the detective whisper to the other end of the phone from a distance.

When the detective returned from the call, Bilan suddenly found that the detective's momentum at this time was completely different from just now, looking like a great enemy, like a mosquito frog after only using the "belly drum".

Hugo looked serious, stared at the girl's eyes and said: "The Qibao City Museum has been robbed, and a large number of ancient artifacts are missing, which is the handiwork of the obvious plasma group, for various reasons, I will immediately rush to Qibao City to assist the local police-"

"I'm going with you! Rest assured, I'm not going to hold you back. Blue immediately raised her arm and took the initiative to ask, "Do you need a Pokémon that can "fly in the air"?" I can teleport someone right away. ”

When the overly enthusiastic assistant mentioned the "flying technique", the detective's serious face trembled for a moment, and then decisively refused: "No, it's faster if the train goes directly, and you can take a little rest in the car." ”

Before boarding the train with a black ticket, Hugo bought a newspaper at the station, and since it was a morning newspaper, it was mostly yesterday's news.

Hugo quickly flipped to the cultural section of the newspaper and immediately found the information he was looking for, with a striking headline taking up a lot of the page - "On display for the first time in twenty years!" The founding stone of the United People! 》。

"Did the newspaper say that the national treasure was the one that was stolen this time?" Blue sat down on the train and asked the detective.

The founding stone in the newspaper is black and mushy, strangely shaped, barely round, and does not have much mythological color, giving people the feeling of an ordinary spherical stone.

"One of the stolen artifacts to be exact, along with many ancient Pokémon fossils, some ancient stone tablets whose meaning has not yet been recognized, and an alien meteorite that the Hoenn Alliance gave to the Seven Treasures Museum as a gift...... The value of each of these things is not lower than that of the national gem head. ”

Hugo rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache.

"The newspaper said that the stone was the remains left behind after the death of the founding black dragon Zekrom, so it could be a prop that can summon legendary Pokémon, right?"

Bilan asked, pointing to the article in the morning paper, listening to the tone, it seemed that she was no longer surprised that such an extraordinary event might happen.

"That prop doesn't matter." Hugo said without hesitation, "Because I thought that the stone might be the target of plasma, I used to deal with it safely with the people involved." ”

"Safe handling?"

"It's the anti-theft system, I think according to the anti-theft plan I provided to the Shippo Museum, the stone should be absolutely safe. But I can't guarantee the other exhibits. ”

"So." The girl then asked, "Is it the people of the Plasma Regiment who robbed the Qibao City Museum this time?" But museums usually have security guards, right? ”

"I wasn't told the details on the phone, and I had to go to the scene to talk about the details, but I always had a feeling that the case was very difficult to end."

"How?"

"At that time, the Qibao City Museum was guarded by at least one Gym Trainer and a United Heavenly King, but it was still looted."

"Huh?" Blue was dumbfounded, "You're not kidding, are you?" ”

Hugo shook his head, his expression serious, not at all like he was joking.

"You may not know much about it when you first come to the United District, but in fact, the head of the Qibao City Gym, Aloe Vera, is also the director of the local museum, so the Qibao City Museum and the Qibao Gym are connected. During the period when this valuable artifact was on display, aloe vera must have been stationed there. ”

The detective pointed to the photo of the owner of the Seven Treasures Hall in the newspaper to support his claim.

"The Gym Leader has an almost endless stream of reserve elves in the Gym, it's like having an exclusive arsenal. It's no small feat to beat an opponent of aloe vera in that kind of place. ”

"And what's the matter with that Heavenly King?" Bilan looked at the detective in confusion, "How did you know that there was a Heavenly King-level trainer in Qibao City at that time?" ”

Hugo thought for a moment and decided to confide part of the truth to his assistant -

"When Douzi and I took the train to Tangcao Town, we met the evil king of the United Crowd in the first-class carriage, and at that time he seemed to be on a mission, and the destination was Qibao City, where this case took place - ah, I should have thought that he was going to serve as the guard of those ancient relics at that time."

"So the side of the Plasma Regiment has the combat power to rival that of a Heavenly King-level trainer?" The assistant made a logical inference.

A somewhat embarrassed look appeared on Hugo's face for a moment: "No, for some reason, that Heavenly King can't attack with all his strength for the time being." In fact, it was the lingonberry who called me for help, hoping that a detective would be able to recover the artifacts as a police helper. ”

After all, the one who is trying to break into the enemy as an undercover agent, if he teaches the robbers of the plasma regiment a hard lesson at this time, the plan will be a little difficult to unfold later.

However, he couldn't just let the plasma group do evil, and in a hurry, Lingonberry remembered the business card he had put in his pocket before, and what was written on it was the contact information of Hugo's detective agency.

。

There are only two stops between Tangcao Town and Qibao City, and the time it takes to travel is indeed similar to that of the "Flying Technique".

Hugo got out of the car and went straight to the Seven Treasures Museum, and sure enough, he saw a large group of police officers circling around like ants on a hot pot.

The detective found the leader in the crowd, Miss Junsha, and took the initiative to identify herself: "Please forgive me for taking the liberty of taking the liberty of Hugo from Feiyun City, a detective invited by Mr. Mu Li, the deputy curator, please let me enter the museum to meet the client." ”

The police officer in front of her, who was almost exactly the same as Jun Sha from Feiyun City, but seemed to be older, showed a surprised expression: "Hugo...... I think I've heard of you, but do you have anything to prove who you are? ”

"Here's a photo of the detective agency's business license, and here's the alliance identity card...... Alternatively, you can call Mr. Mu Li or Junsha from Feiyun City. But now that time is urgent, can you let me enter the museum first? ”

As a lay detective, Hugo seems to be very self-aware, and he is familiar with listing all kinds of documents to prove his identity, as if this set of actions has been repeated countless times.

"By the way, this is my assistant Bilan, I can vouch for her identity, and please let her go with me."

Junsha was frightened by Hugo's professionalism, and after a little briefing on the other end of the intercom, she put the two into the museum.

"Do you have those documents with you at all times?" Bilan couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It doesn't take up much space when it's packed in folders, so I usually take a set of copies out of the house. Oh yes, I just said it was a lie. Hugo still looked calm, but he scared the assistant lady a lot.

"Although I know the deputy curator Mu Li, he hasn't entrusted me yet, just for the sake of convenience. But this little lie can be corrected immediately. ”

The detective went straight to the museum's director's room, opened the door, and saw a middle-aged man sitting on pins and needles, wearing glasses and a somewhat dangerously high hairline, compared to the researchers in the Yew Research Institute, this scholar has a stronger temperament.

However, the scholar looked uneasy at this time, and when he saw the detective open the door, he immediately showed an expression like seeing a savior.

"Detective Hugo, it's you! It's great to see you again at a time like this! ”

Seeing the detective, the middle-aged man was startled, then happily jumped up from his chair, and immediately strode forward to hold Hugo's hand-

"You must have seen today's robbery! Today was terrible, Aloe Vera was attacked by a sudden stranger, the museum's warehouse was ransacked, and the gym was smashed...... I don't even know what to do, but now I'm a little relieved to see you coming, please save the collection that was robbed by the robbers! Those are important cultural relics! ”

Hugo patted the man's back, tried his best to calm the other party down, and introduced to Bilan: "This is the deputy director of the Seven Treasures Museum and the husband of the leader of the hall, Mr. Mu Li." Mr. Mu Li, this is my assistant Bilan. Don't mention these, is the real thing about the Founding Stone still there? ”

Mu Li raised his glasses and wiped his tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "It's still there, and after listening to your advice, I replaced the stones on display with highly imitated fakes." Although there are some tourists who can't come up to visit, it really comes in handy. Damn, I should have been a little more cautious at the time, or it wouldn't have happened. ”

"You've done a good job, and the next thing you need to do is recover the stolen artifacts. Please let me meet the curator and Mr. Lingonberry. ”

The detective said, rolling up the sleeves of his white coat, and seemed ready to make a big move.
