Chapter 060: List of suspects in the Elven Illustrated Book
"Ladies, please don't get caught up in these minutiae so early."
Seeing the companions around him facing the unsolvable double secret room problem, they all showed a look of frustration. Hugo decided to publish some of his current research progress in advance, hoping to boost morale.
"Any kind of secret room in the world is solvable, people have left traces of sound swallows, as long as the secret room is generated, there must be a way to explain the secret room."
Hugo continued his lecture on the Chamber of Secrets, and even began to question the legitimacy of the existence of the Chamber itself—
"Locked room crime is a paradox in itself. In reality, there is no need for a person wishing to commit a murder to go to great lengths to create an enclosed space. Unless the criminals wish to disguise the deceased as committing suicide in a secret room, the existence of the secret room is useless to the murderer. And it is clear that Mr. Greta, who was impaled in the abdomen by a stone, did not die by suicide. ”
Finally, Hugo pointed to the room where the crime was found, and said a concluding sentence: "At this point, I can boldly assert that any secret room, including this case, is the product of the perpetrator having to compromise with certain conditions. ”
As if accustomed to it, Miss Junsha distilled the key words from the detective's gushing speech: "Are you saying that the murderer had to keep the secret room closed for some reason?" ”
"It's natural." Hugo nodded, "The fact that there is a camera downstairs didn't even know about the police at the beginning, so let's not talk about the outermost secret room for the time being. The point is in this secret room in front of us—"
The detective took a step to the side and completely displayed the door of the apartment in front of everyone: "The murderer, whether it is a human or a Pokémon, he can completely open the door generously after killing the victim, and then make the entire building of humans and Pokémon become suspects." But the killer couldn't. ”
"Could it be because the murderer wanted to deliberately blame the six hand-held elves of the deceased?" Following the detective's train of thought, Blue asks her own questions.
"That doesn't make the Chamber of Secrets." Hugo shook his head and said, "Because even if the door is opened, it can also make those six elves who can only learn rock-based skills become the main suspects." ”
Junsha scratched her dark green hair, and then came up with some kind of conjecture: "It may be that the murderer was able to move even when he was stabbed by a stone, and the murderer deliberately locked the door in order to lock Mr. Greta in the room." ”
"Senior, the crime scene is locked from the inside, and the criminals who run out of the door can't lock the door from the outside......," Serra cautioned reminded.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." The police officer's lady also realized this and frankly admitted her mistake.
At this time, the detective lowered his voice, as if he was avoiding the eared eavesdropping on the wall, and he said to the crowd in a slow and deep voice: "Actually, I have a guess. ”
Then, Hugo gently led everyone to the corner of the corridor away from the entrance of the crime scene, and then whispered to everyone: "I think that the murderer is still hiding in the crime scene, but the hiding method is clever, and the police have not yet discovered it." ”
Junsha, Bilan, and Serra, the three of them changed their faces at the same time, and cold sweat quietly came out from behind.
"That's why I've been hovering at the door of the crime scene for a long time, and I've searched my mind for all kinds of tricks about the crime in the closed room, but I still can't rule out the most terrible possibility."
"Senpai and I went to the scene of the crime in the morning, and the murderer was next to us......" Serra asked softly to the detective, but his respected Junsha senior was frightened by this sentence.
"I'm sorry, I can't rule it out."
"And where is this criminal?" Jun Sha, who calmed down a little, frowned and asked, "The police have completely investigated the scene of the crime, and there is no room for people to hide." ”
"And what about Pokémon? Is it possible for a Pokémon that are small or proficient in mimicry to continue to lurk inside the room? ”
It was the assistant Bilan who raised the question, and the detective's reasoning completely opened her mind: "If it is a variety monster in the Guandu region, it can even disguise itself as a vase and hide it in the room." ”
"But if you don't have a subject, the Changeling Monster can't use skills, and where did the rock cone it used to commit crimes come from?" Junsha responded, "At that time, all of Greta's elves were in Poké Balls, and if there were no imitation objects on the scene, the Changeling Monster would not be able to use the skill. ”
Bi Lan was choked, because what Junsha said was completely correct. This female police officer, who often goes off the line, can become a "detective" in the criminal department, not all thanks to Hugo's help.
Hugo suddenly interjected: "In the same way, Pokémon such as Polymon and Lothom who have a way to escape from the scene through electronic devices are also unlikely to be murderers because they can't use rock-based skills. ”
"Are there any Pokémon that can use rock-based skills and are small enough to hide?" Miss Assistant was thinking to herself, and she suddenly thought of a good idea.
I saw that Bilan turned the elf illustrated book she carried with her into silent mode, then opened the illustrated book, and entered the filter conditions - "can use rock-based skills", "height is in ......"
She suddenly looked at Officer Junsha and asked, "How small should a Pokémon be that can hide at the scene of the crime without being discovered?" ”
"Well...... officer's hand, gesturing the shape of a steamed bun, "If such a large Pokémon is hidden in an upside-down tea bowl, the forensic department may indeed ignore it." But if you make a big circle, it's very conspicuous. ”
"20 centimeters? Then set the filter to less than 30 centimeters. Bilan continued to look at the elf illustrated book to enter the information, and then clicked the filter button.
The four of them waited with bated breath for the search results, and even the detective watched the show in front of them with great interest.
"Eligible Pokémon are Gopher, Alola Gopher, Pokébi, Bigtongue Mussel, Shellless Sea Rabbit, Screw Gopher, Stone Crab, Iron Ant, Small Diamond, Small and Regular Size Pumpkin Essence, Small Meteorite, and Little Charcoal." Bilan whispered
"Is that all?"
"Are there so many?"
As soon as they finished reading, Miss Junsha and Miss Sierra asked diametrically opposed questions.
"Aren't Little Fist Stone and Little Magnet on the list?" Junsha asked, puzzled.
Bilan patiently replied: "The smallest small fist stone is also 40 centimeters, and the little magnetic monster can't learn rock-based skills." ”
"What kind of rock-based skills does the pumpkin spirit know?" It was Sierra who asked the question, and the young lady of the deputy stared curiously into the blue eyes.
Blue glanced at the illustrated book and replied, "It's 'Rock Avalanches', they can be learned through skill training machines. ”
"In addition, the rock-type moves mastered by Pokebi and the Shellless Sea Hare in the list are "Primordial Power", which does not match the circumstances of the case and can be roughly ruled out." The assistant lady continued rigorously, "And the illustrated book counts 'Secret Rock' as a field skill, and it is not included in the category of rock skills, do you need to search for it again?" ”
"No need." It was Detective Hugo who spoke, "The on-site investigation showed that there was no special mechanism, and under these conditions, the "secret rock" could not have caused so much damage. ”
Then the detective returned to the door of the chamber, bowed, and apologized to the crowd.
"I'm so sorry that my hesitation wasted everyone's time. Now it seems that such a baseless discussion would be better than going directly into the secret room to examine the remnants of the scene. So, please be prepared to remember the list retrieved by the Pokédex just now, that type of Pokémon is our key suspicion, if there are traces of these Pokémon appearing on the scene, please be ready for battle immediately. ”
Then, without waiting for everyone to respond, the detective took the lead in opening the door to the secret room.
