Chapter 053 Splashing Dirty Water and Carrying the Black Cauldron

With the help of the police, Hugo used the steel bar he picked up as a crowbar to pry a crack in the floor directly below the display case, and then the police elves dug up a whole piece of cement in the floor.

The excavated cement is a half-human-tall cube device, and the detective pulls out the wires that connect to the cube and shows the back of it to the crowd—

"The one inside this little hole is the stone we call the Founding Stone, and it's the real target of the Plasma Band's robbery. The reason why it is able to project its own image upwards is that the cube is equipped with a light source and a mirror, and when the museum is on display, the installation will project the lines of the real founding stone onto the fake through the convex mirror. ”

"In other words, the last person who attacked the booth didn't actually mistake the location of the treasure, but the wrong direction of the projector?"

Bilan suddenly knocked on her hand and said: "That person dug out the projector used to project the commentary brand, so he thought he had been tricked, but he didn't know that there was actually a projector in the vertical direction of this position, and the dark stone he was thinking about was in it." ”

"Exactly, the logic is very clear." Hugo nodded with satisfaction as if he were a compliment to a student who had done a good job, "As the second article of the hiding principle says, if you want to hide a projector in the forest, of course you must prepare at least two projectors." ”

"It's a brilliant anti-theft design." Lady Aloe paced around the wreckage of the display case, "So, when we were cleaning up the minions of the Plasma Regiment, it was these tricks that dragged down the strongest ninja trio?" ”

Hugo sank his face and looked gloomy: "No, even so, my anti-theft design is still missing, and I almost got hit by it." ”

The assistant lady was the first to feel incredible: "How is this possible?" No matter what kind of thief comes, it is impossible to break through such an anti-theft facility in one night! ”

"There's another fatality."

Hugo, dressed in blood and with messy hair, slowly pointed his index finger at himself: "That's me." ”

Everyone was puzzled, only Bilan and Aloe remembered the embarrassed appearance of the detective when he appeared outside the window, and asked almost in unison-

"They want to catch you directly?"

"They want you to hand over the stone directly?"

"Ironic, isn't it?" The detective shrugged, "I arranged in advance for a long-term evacuation trip to the Muli Deputy Pavilion that had no combat effectiveness, but I didn't expect that I would actually become a target. ”

"But outsiders don't know about your anti-theft scheme for our museum! How can they target you? Aloe stared at the detective, vaguely with an answer in her mind, but she didn't want to believe it.

"Ugh." Hugo sighed, this should be the moment for the detective to disregard the occasion and recklessly unravel the truth.

"At the beginning of the operation tonight, I was rounded up in the Curator's Room by the self-proclaimed Dark Iron Triangle, who were the top killers raised by the Plasma Regiment, and it was they who defeated Lady Aloe Vera and the Bilberry King this morning."

"Although I managed to escape by all means during that siege, I still have doubts that they will find me."

Hugo brushed over his own extrication and asked crucial questions.

"I think the timing of their invasion was too delicate, and they went straight to the curator's room as if they knew all of our setup. It's like ......"

"It's like the enemy has planted an internal response." Hearing the detective's statement, Junsha did not hesitate to make a judgment.

Hugo nodded, without the slightest expression of relief on his face, and asked everyone:

"Didn't you notice that there was one missing person in tonight's operation?"

Blue had already seen the truth that was about to come out of the detective's mouth.

Is the man who had a relationship with one side an undercover agent of the plasma group? She suddenly felt that the night air was so cold, and the distance between everyone present was so far away.

"You're saying that the man was, should have ...... ...... as a last resort Mr. Lingonberry? ”

A dry question came from Ms. Aloe Vera's throat, and for the first time in so many years since she became the head of the gym, she tasted the collapse of her cognition.

"At the time of the breakout, I used the location of the founding stone as a threat, and asked those people the same questions as Ms. Aloe Vera."

Hugo's voice was as calm as ever, and it only made people shudder at the moment.

The answer was yes - it means that the Bilberry King betrayed us and leaked the museum's battle plan to the Plasma Regiment. As a gambler, he chose to place his chips on the opposite side of the United Alliance, on the side of the plasma cluster. ”

"Hugo, please at least don't go public in front of so many people...... Alas! ”

Junsha wanted Hugo to hide the matter for the time being, but finally gave up, and a thousand words turned into a heavy sigh, because she had already seen the faces of her colleagues looking at each other and bewildered.

The wood is already in the boat, and it is irretrievable.

What's more, the evil Heavenly King who has not seen the head and tail of the divine dragon has not appeared until now, and he is confirming his betrayal with an indifferent silence, and his suspicion is expanding by the minute.

"Isn't it really a ...... The people over there, right? ”

"I heard that he used to be a gambler who did all kinds of evil...... That's why I'm good at mingling with evil Pokémon. ”

"I've heard that what gamblers are best at is betting on both sides......"

- The officers began to whisper in private.

The betrayal of a Celestial King trainer is a fatal blow to the prestige of the Alliance, and the civil servants in the system are especially sensitive to it. At this moment, the anxiety of the police looked in Hugo's eyes, like a bug-based Pokémon trembling before a typhoon due to the "danger perception" trait.

"Shut up!"

A crisp girl's voice pierced through the hall and resounded throughout the hall.

"Mr. Bilberry is definitely not such a person, Detective Hugo, what you say is one-sided, why should we believe you? Mr. Bilberry must have delayed the museum because of other important matters, and perhaps at this time, while the detective was talking about him, Mr. Bilberry was still fighting the enemy. Why do you slander our Heavenly King without any evidence? ”

The girl who angrily reprimands the detective is a high school girl that Hugo has met on the train. This girl from Fukiyo High School joined the battle at this time as a gym trainer of the Shichiho Dokan.

Outside of Hugo and Aloe Vera, she was the only one who was an acquaintance of Lingonberry, and Lingonberry seemed to accompany the little girl to doubles matches on the train to earn travel expenses. If anyone in the room was asked who was most reluctant to believe that Lingberry was a traitor, it would be her.

"I'm a detective, but I don't want to be there every time after a crime has happened." Hugo looked into the girl's eyes and explained.

"All I know is that Mr. Bilberry disappeared after our battle meeting, and then the enemy predicted our actions and told me that the king was a traitor—and that they had no need to lie."

"I don't believe it!" The girl still said in a firm voice, "Mr. Bilberry is a good man, and there must be a reason for what he has done......"

However, at this moment, another girl's voice suddenly sounded: "Eevee, 'Iron Tail'!" ”

Eevee's tail, which had been lying on the blue shoulder, turned into a steel blade and smashed into the air above the detective's head.

With a bang, an unpleasant sound of metal grinding erupted, and Eevee screamed and was sent flying away.

Only then did everyone see that a samurai-like Pokémon in armor had fallen from the ceiling with a large hole.

"It's Commander Chop, and that Dark Triangle is back." Aloe Vera, who had experience in fighting, immediately warned everyone and sent out a long-haired dog at the same time.

However, the leader of the gym immediately changed his words again: "No, no, it's not that one, it's ......."

Seeing the shaking of the owner of the Seven Treasure Gym, Jun Sha immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words, she gritted her teeth fiercely, turned her head and yelled at her subordinates: "That's the main elf of the Lingonberry Heavenly King!" He personally came to grab the founding stone! Hurry up and protect Hugo! ”

Mr. Dark Knight is on the move, there was no such link in the first place, he is really a man who likes to add drama...... Hugo silently watched everything in front of him, allowing the police to surround him, still holding the cube containing the founding stone in his arms.

On the other hand, the gym trainer girl was also stunned to look at the fierce slashing commander, revealing a look of disillusionment and despair, tears already overflowing the corners of her eyes.

Who came up with such a plan that lacked morality...... Looking at the tearful girl, Hugo tried to make himself happy, but unfortunately failed.

In the darkness that no one knew, the detective shouted at the officers with a strange expression that seemed to laugh rather than cry—

"The lingonberry is on the ceiling, and he's been hiding on the roof just now eavesdropping on our conversation! Hurry up and send a team to catch him! ”

The first bucket of dirty water has been spilled, and it remains to be seen how the follow-up will develop.
