"Is it possible to find out the truth about the bombing on the basis of these ambiguous second-hand testimonies alone?"

Hugo's gray eyes were cold, and he looked at the white-clothed young man in front of him suspiciously.

"I'm very good at deducing calculations based on known conditions, and Douzi seems to call this reasoning."

N smiled humbly, but he was not timid enough to meet the detective's gaze—

"The scale of the explosion was unprecedented, the Pokémon in the factory were killed without exception, the police and fire brigade arrived at the scene of the explosion early, the factory's production capacity was seriously mismatched with its claimed output, the factory director was silent, and alliance officials secretly entered the factory...... What kind of formula can be combined with these known conditions? ”

"Solving a crime is not a game of permutations, and your intelligence sources are not credible enough." Hugo shook his head and denied from a professional point of view, "Now is not the time to play the trick of the easy chair detective, and your speculation will only get answers that are thousands of miles off topic." ”

N ignored the detective's cold water, and just talked to himself-

Adding up all of this information makes for the most obvious inference – the explosion a week ago was a well-choreographed show. The allied government of Lichong City is the planner of the show, the police and fire brigade are the actors, the factory is the stage, the employees inside are the audience, and the corpses of the Pokémon are ...... It is a prop that is consumed during a performance. ”

The detective narrowed his eyes and asked in a confirmed manner, "You deduced it based on the fact that the police arrived at the scene ahead of time and that the alliance officials had been in and out of the factory?" ”

"Yes. And according to the above inference, the explosion was deliberately caused by someone, then a new question naturally arises - since the explosion was just a show, why did the killed Pokémon appear? That's when I thought, could those electric Pokémon that seemed to die in the explosion actually lose their lives before the explosion? ”

"How is this possible?" Even Blue couldn't believe it, "Aside from the explosion, what could cause so many Pokémon to die at the same time?" ”

"They didn't die at the same time." N sighed, and the sadness on his face grew stronger—

"They died of exhaustion in different factories and ended up being sent to the power plant in Lichong City."

"What does that mean?"

"I visited different power plants in Lichong City, and the Pokémon inside were all about the increasing pressure of work recently, and there have been many cases of Pokémon getting lost recently. When you think of the strong rise of the Liyong Power Plant in recent years, but then it suddenly exploded, and the difference in power supply, can you think of anything? ”

Bilan shook her head, even she couldn't see any connection.

"This is just a simple calculation problem, the total power supply of a city is stable, this data is linked to the city's heating and transmission, there is no need and it is impossible to falsify. But the power deficit at the Lichong power plant is real – the only possibility is that the plant is diverting electricity from other power plants. ”

"Misappropriation of power generation?" Bilan has two big heads, and the question is not only not answered, but more, "Why is the Lichong Power Plant doing this?" ”

Detective Hugo explained in time and resolved the assistant's doubts-

"The Lichong power plant is advertised as clean energy, and it can get more subsidies in terms of policy. What this N master means is that the director of that factory has reached some kind of agreement with his peers to buy non-clean energy from other factories at a high price, and then sell it to the alliance in the name of clean electricity, so as to earn a financial subsidy difference, and at the same time, he can also make a name for himself as the first energy company in the United States. It can be regarded as "electricity laundering", which is similar to "money laundering". ”

N nodded: "And those other power plants want to increase their production to earn extra income, but they can only urge their own Pokémon to increase production, so the work pressure of the elves will increase, and there may be electric Pokémon that die of exhaustion." ”

The detective sneered: "I guess what you want to say next is that such a violation is destined to be unsustainable, and the visit of the Alliance officials to the Lichong Power Plant in person may well represent the exposure of this power laundering ruse." But for the sake of the overall reputation of the city's energy industry, the coalition decided to solve the problem in a more appropriate way......"

"Yes, that's the truth of that earth-shattering explosion. The reason why the coalition officials had left the factory with satisfaction was because he had won a complete victory in negotiations with the director of the plant. The latter had to cover up not only the explosion to cover up its own power deficit, but also the fact that the Pokémon in other factories died of overwork. ”

"That's why there are so many elven corpses in the explosion site?"

Bilan frowned and asked, "Why did Director William do this?" It doesn't do him any good at all! ”

"No, not only did the explosion cover up the fact that the electricity was washed, but the seventy-one electric elves in the factory also took this opportunity to disappear, because the factory director confiscated them all as personal property."

N said in a sad tone-

"After this incident, whether the factory director sells them as props or as capital to start a new business, he can recover the losses he suffered in the bombing. The only ones who have suffered an unfortunate fate are those elves who have been reduced to consumables in endless labor. ”

"And the laid-off and unemployed power plant employees." Hugo interjected inophintently, and then asked—

"Is that all your reasoning about? An insidious capitalist who can't run a gray industry, learn from the evolution of the Doi ninja, and take advantage of the explosion to get out of his shell? ”

N nodded, put the cap back on, and the blue eyes under the brim of the hat looked indifferent—

"Yes, as mentioned above, I have found out the truth about the explosion in Lichong City, so I no longer need the assistance of the two of you. The travel expenses for the two of you to travel thousands of miles this time have been put by me with Miss Douzi, and it is definitely a price that can satisfy you. ”

"What if I think your reasoning is a mistake from start to finish?"

The detective's tone easily interrupted N's goodbye, but he opened his mouth to say something terrible.

"Whatever you think, after tomorrow, I'll start my own action. At that time, it will be clear whether the truth of the case will be as I said. I would advise you to leave Lap Chung as soon as possible to avoid accidents. ”

The green-haired young man pressed the brim of his hat, and he had a somewhat sharp posture.

"Bogaman, use the 'water cannon' to wash the face of our noble majesty the king."

The detective issued the order without warning.

The little penguin, who had been outside the three of them, heard this, and immediately rushed forward with small steps. Facing the stunned gaze of the green-haired youth, the blue water rippled and gathered in the beak.

The assistant lady was taken aback and subconsciously took a step back, for fear of being affected by the failed skill moves.

However, an even more incredible scene occurred - Bogaman did not fall on the road, only stumbled slightly, but did not stop the cohesion of the skill.

Then, the "Water Cannon" skill was successfully activated, and a powerful blue water column burst out of the air in front of Bogaman-

Wiping the hair next to the green-haired youth's face, he flew out of the window.

"How? Are you sober? ”

Hugo was expressionless, unsurprised by what was in front of him, and just calmly asked N.

"Your reasoning, like the trajectory of this "water cannon", completely deviates from the truth. I'm not going to quit the investigation, because the fog over the bombing hasn't completely lifted. Do whatever you want, and if it involves something illegal that crosses the line, don't blame me for inviting you to the detention center. ”

Seeing this scene, Bilan, who was hiding on the side, also felt a sense of excitement, and said loudly: "Me too." ”
