Facing Sheriff Junsha, who sat at the table with ten fingers crossed and looked domineering, Hugo did not choose to continue lying, but handed out the real business card of the firm and said politely-

"I'm a private investigator and I'm here for the recent bombing."

"Hugo? Or a detective? ”

Seeing the name on the business card, the lady in front of her raised her eyebrows: "I have a little impression of this name...... Do you have anything to do with the previous Water Fleet case? ”

"Our firm is a provider of first-hand information." The detective bowed again and showed a gesture of humility -

"Regarding the real identity of Fengyuan Media, we have provided some trivial advice to the police, and if you can call your relatives in Feiyun City, you can confirm the authenticity of my words."

Raised upper eyelids and slightly dilated pupils – this is a common sign of surprise.

The detective was satisfied to see that his temptation was answered, and it seemed that the sheriff in front of him also knew the inside story of the cross-regional organized crime, and the inside information he hinted at through the words "Hoenn Media" did play a role in supporting his identity.

Hugo also noticed that as he answered the question, Junsha's gaze had taken a moment off his lips and glanced at Mademoiselle Goethe, who was standing behind him.

Does there seem to be some kind of exchange of information between her and her elves? The detective has a keen insight into the other party's intentions.

According to the context before and after the Q&A, Junsha should be confirming the authenticity of her self-revealed identity. Miss Goethe in the Superpower Department...... It seems to be some kind of polygraph mechanism based on the mechanism of perceiving mental fluctuations......

As the detective pondered, he observed that Junsha's expression had softened a little, but only a little, and he still did not mean to let his guard down.

By this time, the detective was 100% sure that the sheriff had received a positive answer from Miss Goethe, but the polygraph mechanism was not entirely reliable, so Hugo was still a suspicious subject to be examined for her.

Whether it is Junsha's investigation or Hugo's reasoning, it is only a fleeting temptation. After a pause of about five seconds, Junsha respoke sternly as the final reply to the Detective in the White Coat—

"Please leave the police station, Detective Hugo, the Lichong City Police Department doesn't need your advice here. No matter what credit you have made elsewhere, we don't need the help of outsiders. ”

The veteran Junsha, who was an officer to a sergeant, lowered his ten fingers and forced Hugo's gaze as sharp as a dagger—

"The bombing case is closed. If there is a wronged client who pays to find you to investigate this matter, please please tell us the truth about the investigation of the incident that our police department has spent a lot of manpower-"

Jun Sha made an official reply in an announced tone: "The Lichong power plant explosion is an undoubted production accident, from the accident to the follow-up of the accident, there is no abnormality in the police, there is no conspiracy in it, so there is no need to re-entrust the detective to investigate." ”

"It's really ruthless."

No matter how solemn Junsha's testimony is, it is impossible to judge whether the other party is lying or not.

Hugo, who is a lone star, does not have such a convenient polygraph prop as Miss Goethe, but he still responds with a smile: "If I come to the police station to ask the sheriff as soon as I come to Liyong City, I guess I will have to run in vain." ”

"No matter when you come to the door, you're only going to get the same result." The sheriff's lady was unmoved.

"Not necessarily." The detective shook his head, and his polite smile looked a little more cunning, "Since the explosion was just an ordinary accident, can you tell me where those Pokémon that originally worked in the power generation module of the factory where the crime occurred are now?" This information is not classified, so I believe that Miss Police Officer will not refuse to answer, right? ”

"You are a dangerous person who has infiltrated the police station with strange whereabouts, and I am not obligated to answer your questions." Junsha shook her head, but said, "But it really doesn't matter, and it doesn't hurt to tell you - they were rescued and released by professional police officers into the wilderness of the industrial zone south of Liyong City." ”

This is a clear lie—both Talter's testimony and N's actions make it clear that the elves have died in the fire, and that there is no sign of their activity in the wilderness.

But unfortunately, the detective has no direct evidence to deny Junsha's claim.

Dead factory Pokémon don't jump out on their own to prove whether they've been released or not, and it's even less likely that the police officers involved in the operation will disobey the gag order laid by the commander and confide the truth to one of their own out-of-town detectives. Dwelling on this issue is only a waste of time.

So Hugo changed the subject and asked casually-

"According to the clues I have gathered, Director William once spoke on the phone with an electrical engineer on leave after the bombing, does Sheriff Junsha know what they communicated?"

He deliberately assumed that the information he had obtained through speculation was known, and questioned it further. In this way, even if the other party refuses to answer, you can deduce whether the call is real by observing Junsha's reaction.

However, the detective's wishful thinking failed, and as Junsha was about to speak, the lady's eyes suddenly turned to Mademoiselle Goethe behind Hugo, and then immediately changed the way of replying, and replied in the most concise language: "We have nothing to say." ”

Hugo immediately understood his situation, he turned his head to look at Miss Goethe behind him, only to see the Pokémon standing like a maid gently lifting her black skirt, with a blank face, an expression that did not understand the current situation.

The mood swings when I made up my own nonsense were captured by this Pokémon...... Hugo felt a sense of frustration that had nowhere to vent.

It's just cheating! It's really uncomfortable to be seen through the hole cards, is it great to have a superpower Pokémon? It's just that through the untechnical trick of detecting emotions, it seems as if it can see through people's hearts......

Wait a minute!

Hugo, who fell into silence, suddenly brightened his eyes: since the other party can use the method of superpower Pokémon to perceive mood fluctuations to find out whether the subject of interrogation is weak, then he can also do the opposite!

Hugo instantly noticed and immediately took action-

I saw the white-coated detective leaning forward, leaning forward with his hands on Jun Sha's desk, and said loudly with great sincerity: "Officer Jun Sha, now I want to provide you with some information that is indeed happening in Lichong City, these matters are very important, and if not handled properly, they may cause serious consequences that may endanger the safety of the residents of the entire city. ”

Junsha frowned, subconsciously feeling that the private detective in front of her was making trouble, but when she casually looked at her partner, she saw that Miss Goethe, who was usually cold and calm, was nodding frantically at the moment.

The man's words were utterly true, and it was impossible to fake such strong and sincere emotion—that was the message that Miss Goethe conveyed by the agreed code.

This guy who calls himself Hugo is actually telling the truth? What was the event that would affect the entire city?

Miss Sheriff returned her surprised gaze to the detective's face, but she could only see the other's slightly narrowed eyes.

Hugo sighed in his heart. Sure enough, Miss Goethe not only helps Junsha see through the lie, but also has the ability to corroborate the truth.

Then the next communication will be much easier, so take this opportunity to tell this police officer all the unexpected situations that seemed to be fantastical!

"Ahem, actually, ......" The detective cleared his throat, in order to prevent his client from being arrested by the police, he specially screened out the truth of the incident that did not involve N's identity, and then spoke calmly-

"In the afternoon not long ago, the employees of our office engaged in a fierce battle with an important cadre of the Plasma Regiment, and the purpose of the other party was to gather wild Pokémon that were angry with the residents of Lichong City and attack the ...... of the Lichong City Police Station."

As Hugo narrates, Sheriff Junsha peeks at Miss Goethe behind her from time to time, and every time she retracts her gaze, her face becomes even more pale.

It's the truth.
