Chapter 063 - Commentary Race in the Elevator

Until the elevator doors closed, the detectives did not hear the explosion coming from upstairs.

It seems that the sun coral did not choose to "self-destruct" in the first place, in this case, with the ability of the blue and their ability, they should be able to deal with the opponent smoothly.

Hugo then relieved himself and continued to do his best to fool the two police officers in front of him.

"In response to the question you have just raised, I state once again that the hand-held elf of the victim cannot be the murderer. It's not a question of betrayal or not, it's a matter of size. In Greta's hand-held elves, even the smallest mud fish was a large yellow fish with a body length of more than seventy centimeters, and it was almost impossible to hide on the gray tiled floor of the crime scene. ”

In the narrow elevator, Hugo constantly waved his palms and gestured in front of two police officers to enhance the persuasiveness of his speech.

"Therefore, no matter which of the six hands they hold, it is impossible for them to jump out of the Poké Ball and stand in front of their master and use the rock skill on his front abdomen. What's more, if they really want to make a move, these violent Sandstorm Pokémon won't use small rock cones that can't help the wind, they will release boulders on top of the trainer's head, and smash them into flesh and ruins along with the ceiling of the owner and downstairs. ”

Faced with the detective's ultra-fast reasoning storm, a police officer opened his hands and pressed downward, signaling Hugo to calm down: "But this has nothing to do with the case, we only want you to give an explanation - excuse me, why do you have to let the police lock off the apartment building?" ”

The detective shook his hand helplessly, and explained with a bitter face: "I have already said that the criminal who caused the whole case is in this building, and the other party may start to flee immediately at any time, and now every second is extremely precious, but you are willing to consider action only after I explain the reason." ”

Time was really short, and Hugo had to convince the two policemen to cooperate with his next move before the elevator reached the ground floor.

And the elevator has been lowered to the 20th floor.

"Of course you need an explanation, sir." Another taller police officer crossed his arms and said, "Our superiors did not allow us to act on our own initiative, and you asked us to illegally detain an entire building of residents for no reason." You're not even a cop! Why should we believe you? ”

"Okay, okay." Hugo took a few deep breaths, tried to keep himself friendly, and continued to explain the simple facts to the police in the elevator -

"The scene was completely enclosed, and the victim was unprepared for a frontal attack. There is only one explanation for both of these facts - the deceased was struck by a small trap hidden in the room. I know you didn't find the mechanism, but you probably remember the little flower pot on the bookshelf in the room, right? ”

The two police officers who had collected evidence at the scene looked at each other and nodded together.

"Don't you think it's strange that object is in the deceased's house? Greta was a rugged trainer, as evidenced by the unruly furniture and rudimentary household items, and he would not go out of his way to buy a pot of succulents for the sake of the aesthetics of the interior. Therefore, the only explanation for having the flower pot on the bookshelf is that someone gave it to him as a gift. ”

"Is there anything special about this gift?" The short officer asked, puzzled.

"What's special?" Hugo scoffed, "It's a pot of succulents that kills." Hidden inside is a solar coral that can attack with "sharp stones", and your Miss Junsha is currently fighting against it. ”

The elevator goes through the 10th floor.

The short police officer frowned and asked, "I've seen the actual appearance of sun corals, they are at least as tall as an arm, and they are covered in bright pink, how can this kind of Pokémon hide in a flower pot?" ”

"In order to adapt to the unique natural environment of different regions, the appearance of some Pokémon becomes very different from other regions, and the attributes also change, and this difference in form is called regional form. The Galar Sun Coral is a striking example of this. ”

Hugo patiently explained to the officers: "You can check the spirit illustrated book afterwards, and I will only give the most brief explanation - there is a ghostly sun coral, which can pretend to be dead and go without eating or drinking for several days, in this state its coral branches will become a spirit state and hide." ”

"The kind of sun coral you're talking about is in a pot on the shelf? Is this an assassination? The tall officer looked incredulous, and inadvertently used a word that served his best to describe the situation at the time of the crime.

"Yes, an assassination is, of course, an assassination, or a premeditated killing. Someone buried a subspecies of sun coral in that pot and gave it to Mr. Greta. Therefore, on the day of the crime, when the victim was facing the bookshelf and preparing to choose a book, the demon hidden in the flower pot summoned a rock cone in the air and stabbed the talented star trainer to death without a trace. ”

The officers' faces grew paler and paler, and they couldn't believe that they had been in the same room as a Pokémon that had killed people for four hours during a whole morning of searching!

The shorter one asked tremblingly, "In that case, why don't we go to reinforce Miss Junsha, but go and seal off the whole building?" ”

"Good question." A crisp snap of fingers sounded on the fingertips of the white-coated detective.

"Ordinary people who are unconscious are often accustomed to giving priority to solving the problems in front of them, and the so-called headache and foot pain are exactly the case. But this pattern of behavior tends to numb our perception of the future, which in turn can induce us to make bad decisions in a pinch. Hugo raised the speed of his speech and laid the groundwork for the rest of his words.

"And my habit is to plan before acting, take one step and see three steps." The detective changed positions, turned his back to the elevator door, and faced the two police officers, "Now may I ask, what will be the impact of Miss Junsha's Pokémon battle in the deceased's room on the case?" ”

The elevator goes through the 5th floor.

The tall officer was confused, and the other reacted: "It should ...... Other residents of the building will notice the movement of the battle. ”

"Completely correct, worthy of being the guardian of peace in Feiyun City."

The detective did not hesitate to praise: "Then may I ask, can we now rule out the possibility that the suspect is still in this apartment?" But don't forget the pot of succulents, and it's not surprising that neighbors give each other gifts. ”

For some reason, the short police officer, who had been slow to react before, immediately replied: "That's right, I understand!" The perpetrator who gave the potted plant gift was likely to be hiding among the residents of the building, and it was unlikely that he would be indifferent to the noise in the deceased's room, which means that the prisoner was likely to be preparing to flee in the near future. ”

"Hmmm! It seems that our cognition is in sync. "The blockade of the building not only helps to prevent the real murderer from escaping, but also to screen out the occupants of the apartment building who are in a hurry to leave the apartment building after the battle begins, and fools know that the murderer is likely to be hiding among them." ”

"Even then, you can't find the one who gave the gift from those people, can you?" The short officer was still a little suspicious, and looked at Hugo uneasily.

"Who said I'm going to get someone from the house?" The detective shrugged his shoulders, then turned to a serious face, and gave orders with sophistication—

"I'm going to investigate something from the apartment manager right now, and the information there can complete the last piece of the puzzle of the case. During this time, you are to guard the main entrance and the side of the apartment, and you are only allowed to enter and not leave, and no one in the building is allowed to leave. ”

The elevator stopped on the ground floor.

The tall and short police officer opened his mouth and wanted to continue to refute, but there was nothing to blame in the detective's previous long and rigorous reasoning, coupled with the other party's extremely tough attitude at the moment, the police officers had to admit that they had been completely suppressed by the man in front of them in terms of momentum, and they finally nodded and agreed to Hugo's request.

The detective nodded triumphantly: "Well, happy cooperation." I have written down the numbers of the two officers, and I will say a few kind words to Miss Junsha later. ”

With both hands making a pistol gesture, Hugo pointed his arms to the number plate on the chest of the two, and then turned around gorgeously, and the elevator opened at this time.

Looking at the back of the white-jacketed detective walking towards the administrator's duty room, the short police officer couldn't help but ask his companion, "Do you understand what the detective said?" He spoke so fast that I always felt a little out of track. ”

"When I heard it, I seemed to understand, but now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like that, it's like taking a math class." The partner who was asked scratched his head and said, "Miss Junsha, they just entered the scene, did they really find the killing mechanism?" I can't believe it. ”

"But in retrospect, that pot was a little suspicious......"

But it can also be your preconceived delusion. Take 10,000 steps back, even if it's really a killing agency, how can you guarantee that the person giving the gift must be someone in the building? It's entirely possible that they've gone out and hidden. ”

"You have a point, but ......"

The two policemen looked at each other, and then shrugged their shoulders and spread their hands in resignation: "Let's do as the man says." ”
