"When it comes to cone-shaped rocks, the first thing that comes to mind is the skills used by rock-based Pokémon, right?"

Hugo wrenched his fingers, recalling the thick Pokémon Illustrated Book in his mind, and counted: ""Falling Rock", "Rock Avalanche", "Rock Crit", "Primordial Power", "Rock Blockade", "Rock Cannon", "Sharp Stone Attack", these skills can all summon rocks out of thin air to attack, among which "Primordial Power" is slightly different, it can only summon the phantom of ancient rocks, and it will disappear after the attack is over. ”

"The murder weapon didn't disappear, it was removed from the body and recovered by the forensic department. It's in the evidence storage room of the police station. ”

At the same time, the deputy Serra duly handed Bilan and Hugo a thumbnail of the crime scene, as well as a close-up photo of the murder weapon.

Junsha pursed her lips and continued, "Speaking of which, there are also colleagues in our department who are good at using rock-attribute Pokémon, and he also carried out an appraisal of that stone cone, he said at the time...... What did you say? ”

"The senior said that the size and shape of the stone were a little strange." It was Miss Sierra who spoke, and she had jotted it down in her notebook—

"The cone used as a murder weapon has a smooth cross-section, which is characteristic of the shape of the "rock blockade" and "sharp stone attack", but its size is too small, and the size is closer to the less powerful "falling rocks" and "rock avalanches". But at the end of the day, when Pokémon use skills, their intentional manipulation can greatly change the final effect of the skills, so this stone may be either a sharpened "rockslide" or a "sharp stone attack" that deliberately restricts its power. ”

"Yes, yes, it's such a pointless reasoning, I probably thought it was too boring at the time, so I didn't remember it."

Junsha glanced at the junior gratefully, very satisfied with the other party's rescue: "Anyway, the police have no clue what move caused the stone cone, but we are all inclined to believe that Pokémon caused this case. ”

"Because it's unlikely that humans can kill people with cone-shaped stones?" Bilan raised her hand and asked, like a student speaking in class.

Junsha nodded and shook her head, "Not only that, but also because we caught six suspects in that secret room. ”

"Six suspects?" The assistant lady looked confused.

The detective immediately gave the answer: "Junsha refers to the six Pokémon that the deceased Greta was carrying. Remember the identity introduction at the beginning? Male, twenty-seven years old before his death, single and alone, good at using rock-type Pokémon. ”

"Rogue crocodiles, rock temple crabs, mud fish, rock monsters, banjilas, dragon gophers - each of them will use a skill that creates rocks." Miss Junsha added.

"It's not just rock." Receiving new information, Hugo continued to write in his notebook, "This Greta is more like a combat expert who specializes in sandstorms than a rock master. ”

Some kind of terrible reasoning came to Turquoise's mind: "Do the police think that one of these elves killed their master?" ”

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Junsha shrugged, "When the bodies were found, these Pokémon were placed in the Elven Recovery Device in the apartment, and they were all asleep. But the recovery device allows Pokémon to come and go freely, so if one of the elves runs back into the device and pretends to be asleep, we won't be able to tell for certain. ”

Hugo took a sip of the tea that had been cold, and asked the police officer, "It seems that Junsha, the main purpose of your visit this time is to let me distinguish who is the murderer among these Pokémon, right?" ”

Junsha smiled bitterly: "I really can't hide it from you, but if you talk about it like this, it won't be the secret room case you favor." ”

Although the facts of the case are clear at a glance, the detective is still struggling: "Didn't the police consider the possibility of committing a crime other than a crime with an elf?" ”

"As we've discussed before, we've discussed almost everything about the possibility of entering a closed room." Junsha looked at the detective apologetically, "We've even brought in psychics and superpowers to check on the spot to see if any Pokémon use skills like wall-piercing or teleportation." ”

"The result?" It was the first time that Bilan had heard of such a novel detective method.

"Nothing." Miss Police Officer shook her head, "The psychics checked every wall in the house, swore that no ghost-type Pokémon would pass through the walls of the apartment within a month, and the superpowers signed a note testifying that no Pokémon had recently used teleportation to enter the room, or killed the victim with supernatural moves such as telekinesis outside the house. ”

"These charlatans can only perceive the traces of superpower skills used in a small space. They can't communicate with the dead, they can't predict the future, or they can't see the past – or the two cops in front of you would have lost their jobs. Hugo reminded sarcastically.

Junsha was not angry, and responded by sinking into the sofa with a rotten appearance: "Only the criminal department responsible for solving the case will lose his job, I have long wanted to go back to the public security department, I have been tired of seeing dead people in the past month." ”

"Senior, this is the only murder case you personally committed this month, right? Aren't you drinking tea in the office all the time? Sierra reminded in a whisper.

Jun Sha waved his hand weakly: "It's enough to have this one, when I saw the bloody corpse with a stone stuck in his chest with his back facing the sky, I had already vomited all the tea I had drunk this month......"

。

While the officer's partner was busy arguing, Detective Hugo got up on his own, put on his trademark white coat, and instructed the employee: "Blue, please help watch the house, I need to make a trip to the scene." ”

The assistant lady, who was about to pack her bags, was taken aback: "Huh? Can't I go along? ”

"There are confidentiality restrictions on the work of the police, and a private detective like me entered the scene of the crime only because of a private invitation from Officer Junsha. It would be too uninteresting to bring another person who has nothing to do with the case into the scene. ”

The detective said to Bilan with an apologetic face: "When I come back, I will tell you everything I saw at the scene, and I will not exclude the competent detective assistant from the case." ”

Seeing Bilan's regretful face, Hugo added: "You can practice picking locks and picking doors when you are looking at the house, these knowledge are very useful when solving secret room cases." I'll leave the little flame monkey at home, and if you don't understand it, you can ask it. ”

"What skills did you teach those kids?" Turquoise was dumbfounded.

Junsha, who had witnessed everything, sighed heavily, and decided not to see it, and erased the dangerous conversation of the detective from her memory.

At this time, Miss Serra, who was hiding behind Junsha, suddenly spoke, and she pointed to the little Eevee who was playing with Bogaman: "Miss Blue, are you the trainer of that Eevee?" ”

The assistant felt a little puzzled and nodded: "Yes, that kid is my partner." ”

Serra turned to her boss, "Senior, I think I can bring Miss Blue into the scene." ”

"What's going on?" Junsha, who is the chief, seems to be even more confused than Bilan, "Isn't she an unrelated person?" ”

"Nope." The deputy, who had long black hair, pushed her glasses and said word by word, "Miss Bilan is the person involved in this case. ”

Hugo thought for a moment, then showed a suddenly realized expression, looking back and forth at Bilan and Little Eevee with a playful expression.

"What the hell is going on?" The person in question, Blue, pressed Serra urgently.

"In the aftermath of the case, the police investigated a lot of personal information about the deceased, one of which was a month ago, when Mr. Greta posted on his social media account about how he participated in a doubles match. My partner and I were beaten by a single Eevee brush, and Ibrahimovic's trainer was a beautiful girl, which was a shame' - Mr. Greta described it in the feed. ”

Miss Deputy said to Bilan seriously.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're the trainer of that Eevee. In this case, you are also a case related to the deceased who has seen the deceased before the crime, and Junsha's seniors can bring you into the scene......"

Blue didn't pay attention to Serra's words, she first realized it, and then felt a strong feeling of nausea.

Dead, the doubles player who had a relationship a month ago has now lost his life. The man who didn't have much of an impression of himself could no longer participate in battles, speak, act, and think. Everything suddenly became so heavy that it seemed so unreal. Death is like a dark beast that chooses people to eat, and even the peep can make people shudder. Even death is so terrifying, let alone the endless nothingness that follows death?

"Hey, assistant! What a daze! ”

Blue's back was slammed on the back, and when she looked back, it was the detective who had put on her white coat.

The detective yelled in Turquoise's ear—

"Someone you know is dead or something, how can this kind of thing be okay? The police all over the world are the same fools, and they will always let the real murderers go unpunished! Right now, there is a real case of murder in a closed room, and the entire Feiyun City Police Department is at a loss for what to do about it, and the cunning murderer is snickering and blending in the vast sea of people. Blue, are you going to continue to be stunned? ”

The familiar voice shook the girl's eardrums, and the haze in her heart seemed to have disappeared.

Bilan jumped up from the chair, patted her cheeks with both hands, sorted out the most heartless smile, and replied to Hugo: "Yes, detective!" ”
