Once the identity of the important witness is discovered, the rest will be taken care of.

It didn't take much effort for Hugo to catch up with Talter, who had just made a big fuss at the venue.

Probably because he was also a little curious about the truth of the bombing, after Hugo revealed his identity as a private detective to the other party, the fierce-looking cultivator immediately agreed to the suspicious detective's request, and the two went to an open-air bar on the street to exchange information.

。

"This is my detective assistant, Miss Blue, and this is the client's agent, Miss Douzi. If you don't mind if you are in the audit, we can continue to talk in another place. ”

During the day, the bar was not lively, except for the faint light music wafting through the air of the open air, and the detective sipped the ice water handed by the waiter and introduced the two ladies to Mr. Talter.

"Don't get in the way, just ask if you have any questions."

Tylt replied perfunctorily, then eagerly raised his huge beer glass and drank the malt that the detective had paid for.

Is this person really a Pokémon cultivator?

Douzi and Bilan, who were watching the play on the side, saw Mr. Talter for the first time, and looked at the fierce bearded face, and the two ladies invariably became suspicious.

Of course, detectives don't waste time on such boring questions.

"Since Your Excellency said so, then ......" Hugo considered his wording, and then simply asked, "Did you do the explosion at the Lichong power plant?" ”

Twin didn't react for a moment, still pouring himself a beer, and then he realized what the detective was talking about.

The action of drinking suddenly stopped, and the beer choked in his mouth suddenly stretched his cheeks up, and then "poof", like a "high-pressure water gun" released by a water-based Pokémon, and the liquor that had just entered his mouth was squirted out by him in one breath.

The smell of alcohol permeates the air.

Blue throws a Poké Ball and sends the Ancestral Bird to use Clear the Mist, but I don't know if it works.

While the yellow chick flapped its wings listlessly, the girl couldn't help but wonder about Hugo's behavior—

What is the detective doing? How can a respondent ask such a question? Besides, even if Talter is really a prisoner, he will not confess honestly because of Hugo's question!

Was Hugo joking? Heaven and earth conscience, this kind of joke is really not funny when it is told by the detective who investigates the case.

At this moment, however, Hugo put down the wine list that had been used as a cover, and his gray eyes fixed on Monsieur Talter's surprised face, like a bird that had discovered its prey, as if he were not joking, but really seriously interrogated.

I saw the bearded nursery teacher wipe the corners of his mouth, and instead of laughing angrily, he let out a frightening low laugh, and slowly lowered the beer glass held in the air, making a muffled sound.

"Do you think I look like the murderer?" Talter answered the question with a playful expression that pushed the topic back to Hugo.

The detective sneered, and placed the cup of ice water on the table as well.

He was interested, leaned forward sharply, and put on a pompous and puzzled look—

"Murderer? What do you mean, Mr. Teater? I've consulted internal police documents, but I've never heard of anyone injured or killed in a bombing. ”

The bearded man couldn't help but laugh again, and he stretched out his hand to the detective: "You're so much more interesting than those guys in the police station, don't you ask me about my identity, position, where I was at the time of the crime, and so on?" ”

"Your Excellency has asked these questions many times, whether it is true or false, you have memorized a set of fixed routines of mechanical answers, what is the use of listening to that kind of testimony?"

"That's why you're using words to provoke me like that? Playing Lao Tzu like a duck? The bearded man became aggressive again, and asked the detective with a fierce face.

Moody characters tend to come across as harsh, but it's a little too late to say that it's only now being spoken.

Hugo's face didn't change, he just shrugged: "Didn't you ask us if we had any questions?" Well, don't get off the hook. Mr. Tyrt, what do you mean by the murderer you mentioned later? Didn't the Lichong City Police Department already characterize the explosion as an accident? ”

He accentuated his tone and asked word by word: "Why do you think that there is a murderer in the incident?" ”

Talter, whose momentum was completely taken away by the detective, was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed: "This is a fact that I don't want to recall, even in the face of the police, I didn't say it." ”

"I understand your emotions very well, and even I can probably guess the answer to this question, but only you, as a party concerned, can say what you say as credible testimony."

Hugo looked at Talter calmly, waiting for the man to speak.

。

When Twin joined the Lichong Power Plant, it coincided with the second round of expansion of the plant.

With the establishment of the biopower generation system, the number of electric Pokémon in the factory exceeded seventy, and the trainer who had previously served as a cultivation consultant began to be unable to do so, so Director William fired the other party and hired the more capable Terte.

In less than a month, the health of the seventy-one electric elves in the factory was well maintained.

Everything is going in a good direction.

Tither likes his current job very much, not that taking care of Pokémon makes him happy, it's just the content of the job, due to the nature of his work, he has always regarded Pokémon as uncles who need to be served, and when the uncles are comfortable, Delt can make money.

What really made Talter like the job was the generous remuneration given to him by the factory director.

It was normal for the Lichong power plant to be the city's most promising energy company, and it was normal for wages to be a little higher than those of its peers, but it wasn't until Talter received his first month's salary that he realized that his previous idea was naïve — the salary listed when William hired him was just a base salary.

People who live in the desert can't imagine what the ocean looks like, and they are as short-sighted as Tert is shocked by the wages he received for the first month of his job.

Actual salary, monthly performance salary, business bonus, travel expenses, reimbursement subsidies, annual gifts, ...... Taken together, the actual wages in the factory are almost three times higher than those of their peers.

What's even more comfortable is that the benefits of the Lichong Power Plant are close to those of the top officials of the Elf Alliance, not only do they never ask their employees to work overtime, but they also have two long-term vacations a year.

For Talter, Director William is the God of Wealth, and his power plant is simply sent to him for money.

It was also during this period that Talter developed a lavish spending habit, which forced him to rush back to his next job after the bombing.

Yes, pie-in-the-sky life cannot last long.

When the factory director called for him to leave the factory immediately, Talter was wielding a huge shovel and mixing the day's Pokémon feed in his workshop. As he left the factory in a daze, he heard an earth-shattering explosion.

"I probably won't be able to receive the year-end bonus this year, right?" This was the only thing the bearded cultivator had to think when his dream was shattered.
