"N has already claimed the crime of the plasma group in front of the reporters, why does Hugo have to call the people involved in the case again, what is Mr. Detective going to do?"

On Road 20 to the west of Lap Chung City, Douzi, wearing a pink and white cap, walked backwards in front of Bilan, moving backwards with ease, not caring about the risk of falling.

The place where the two of them walked was far away from the center of the city, there were not many pedestrians or vehicles, and within a radius of 100 meters, the only moving objects were insect treasure bags crawling leisurely in the grass, so it was barely safe for Douzi to walk backwards like this.

The rising sun shines through the hazy mist and slanted with purple glow. Looking at the city from where the girls stood, the skyline of the industrial city was as thick as ever, with columns of smoke rising straight into the sky, like a prison bars trying to prevent criminals from escaping, and like a beacon desperately trying to convey ominous information to the outside world.

Hearing Douzi's question, Bilan also couldn't predict the detective's intentions, so she had to guess and said: "Hugo stayed all night at the Liyong City Police Station yesterday, he should have found some clues, right?" ”

"Well, that makes sense."

Douzi nodded, reluctantly accepting the statement.

After saying goodbye to Director William yesterday, the two girls spent the night at the Elf Center, while the detective stayed at the police station all night. It would not be surprising if Hugo discovered anything on this night.

"Speaking of which, it seems that in addition to us and the police, Hugo also summoned Talter, Arnault and Wilhelm at this rally, right? Although the number of people is small, almost all the people involved in the case have arrived. ”

The girl with a high ponytail suddenly became interested again, and asked her predecessor with great interest-

"You say that at that rally, the detective would suddenly come up with something like 'the real criminals are among us'? And then catch the prisoner who hid until the last scene red-handed? ”

"It's only like in the movies, right?"

Bilan raised her forehead and sighed, she felt that she couldn't keep up with the jumping ideas of her juniors. Then he turned to ask about the plasma cluster—

"Douzi, you said that after N returns to the plasma group, will he immediately disclose the bad deeds of Director William using Pokémon self-burst electricity? If he did, William's and the police's efforts to hide the truth would all be in vain. ”

"Probably not." The girl with a high ponytail replied without thinking, "Didn't Sister Xiaolan already explain Director William's distress at that time?" In this case, he should not continue to pursue this matter, otherwise it would be impossible for N to take the initiative to claim the crime on behalf of the plasma group. ”

"I always felt that he was not such an easily persuaded person." Bilan frowned, "That man always said things like rights and equality impassionedly, as if he didn't care about sacrificing everything for his ideals. I think there is some danger in such people. ”

"N is just a little bit of a dead brain."

The girl who walks backwards is bouncing and jumping while defending her friend disapprovingly-

"I discovered a long time ago that N's self-perception may be different from normal people. He may not be able to understand that humans and Pokémon are actually two different species, so he will be surprised or even angry when faced with something that we are accustomed to in our eyes. ”

Perhaps because of the important topic he talked about, Douzi finally turned around and walked side by side with Bilan again. This finally relieved the latter.

The girl with a high ponytail continued: "I don't think the misplaced perception of N is meaningless, it is not a disease that needs to be corrected; On the contrary, our world needs people like N, which will remind us to always pay attention to the relationship between humans and Pokémon, so that the world will not be so bad that each of us will become bastards who bully elves without knowing it. ”

Then, Douzi changed his words and said: "But he went too far this time, although the plasma group is nominally on the side of the Pokémon, but judging from what they did, it is completely an evil organization plotting against each other under the banner of elven liberation." Even so, N chose to compromise with those people and try to achieve ultimate justice in a dirty way - I think N must have felt more sad than anyone else when he made this decision...... Sister Lan, why are you looking at me like this? ”

I saw that Bilan had stopped in place, and looked at Douzi who was analyzing his friend's personality in surprise. She really didn't expect that Douzi, who survived the world almost only by intuition, could say such an insightful psychological profile.

If she was to say how she felt at the moment, it was as if she had seen a duck explaining the theory of relativity to herself......

"Hey! Don't look at me in a daze when you hear baby ducks talking about quantum mechanics! ”

Only the intuition was so accurate that the terrifying douzi protested loudly. In this way, the two walked all the way to the destination of this trip.

That's the meeting place that the detective told you was to be the Pokémon Cemetery in Tak Chung City, located on the outskirts of Tak Chung City, adjacent to Road 20.

It is said that the electric spirits who died in the explosion are buried here.

。

Bilan and Douzi arrived at the cemetery twenty minutes early, but they were surprised to see that all the others had already arrived.

The cemetery appears to have been cleared, with no residents coming to mourn the elves, no trace of the original staff of the cemetery, and only the police and a few people involved in the incident.

In the open space ahead, Detective Hugo, dressed in his trademark white coat, was surrounded by police in the center of the crowd, talking and laughing and saying something.

At the entrance, Director William and the stout beard breeder Talter stood side by side, but they were silent and motionless, with no intention of talking to each other.

"That's Arno, right?"

Sharp-eyed blue identified a short-haired woman in the distance, dressed distinctly from a police officer, dressed in a women's business outfit and wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Although he was wearing light makeup on his face, he could still see a heavy tiredness, dark circles under his eyes, and he seemed to have not slept well for several days.

"That's the female engineer who first warned William, right? She doesn't seem to be in good spirits. ”

As if infected by the fatigue of the subject of observation, Douzi yawned and commented bluntly-

"Maybe she's the real murderer of the bombing, the so-called alibi is just a clever hoax, Hugo gathered everyone this time just to catch that guy red-handed......"

"Don't bring the bridge in the hands of the guessing murderer into the real case!"

Miss Assistant angrily interrupted Douzi's irresponsible conjecture. In terms of motive, timing, and means of committing the crime, it is entirely impossible for Ms. Arnault to be the perpetrator of this incident.

Bilan had also wondered in the past, Ming Ming Douzi's abilities were also very good in all aspects, why Hugo never invited the landlady to work as his assistant. Now it seems that regardless of Douzi's own wishes, Hugo shouldn't want his assistant to be such a brainless guy, right?

"Look! Hugo picked up the megaphone, he had already seen us all coming! Looks like he's going to announce the final answer! ”

The girl whose language does not go through her brain is noisy again, only this time, Bilan does not complain anymore that she has introduced the bridge in the reasoning into reality.

。

"Ladies and gentlemen."

The detective cleared his throat and raised the horn in front of his head, emitting a clear sound that filled the room.

"We are gathered here to commemorate the factory explosion that happened half a month ago. In that tragedy, the residents of Lichong City lost clean air, Director William lost his power plant, the employees of the power plant lost their jobs, and there were also a number of electric Pokémon, which paid the most tragic price. ”

The sound of the megaphone echoed over the cemetery, serious and cold, causing a few candlelight spirits to peek out of the crypt.

"Now we know that the direct cause of this explosion was the instigation and misleading of the cadres of the plasma regiment. As for the root cause, it is not a secret among us, those electric elves have become flammable and explosive under the desire of human beings, and eventually become the props of careerists to subvert everything. ”

Then, the detective told the story at length about the explosion and the whole story, covering everything from the truth about the biopower zone to the infiltration of the police station.

“…… Although the plasma group has almost claimed all the crimes, I still hope that everyone present will not forget this incident, do not forget the hearts that have become blind due to the pursuit of economic benefits, do not forget the roar that the Pokémon do not hesitate to ignite their souls, and do not forget the earth-shattering explosion that is enough to be engraved in the city of Liyong City. ”

Hugo paused here for a long time, as if he was really leaving time for reflection and introspection for everyone at the scene. And then he continued to speak—

"As most of you know, I'm a detective and I'm being commissioned by someone to thoroughly investigate the causes and consequences of the bombing. During the investigation of the power plant explosion, I once introduced to Sergeant Junsha the three principles on which I reasoned and decided the case: 1. The fact that the deceased died will never change, which can be used as a starting point for reasoning; 2. Only the evidence that has been investigated by hand is credible, and even if the evidence has been passive, the change itself is also meaningful; 3. Only rigorous scientific theories can connect the truth. ”

"But here, I want to apologize to Sheriff Junsha, those three principles have never been the benchmark for me to solve the case myself, but just a few universal rules that I have made nonsense in order to delay time - despite this, these nonsense laws are still the summary of my reasoning over the years to solve the case, even if it cannot be used as a universal key, it should be no problem to deal with most cases, so I calmly taught Junsha these 'three methods of reasoning'."

There was some commotion in the crowd, and both the police officers and the relevant people did not understand the meaning of the white coat detective's words at this time.

Maybe he really just wanted to apologize to Junsha?

"Little Lan, what do you think of the rules that Hugo said?" Douzi whispered to Bilan beside him, "Is there really a master key that can construct absolutely correct reasoning ideas?" ”

"I think it's roughly true." Bilan pondered for a moment and said—

"If the victim's death, the evidence, and the scientific laws can be reasoned from these standpoints, the truth obtained is almost unshakable. However, the scarcer the evidence that can be relied on, the more difficult it is to form a logical chain of reasoning, and it should be difficult to implement the 'three reasoning methods' in reality. ”

In the distance, Hugo, who was holding a megaphone, spoke again

"The 'Three Reasoning Method' is sufficient to deal with most real cases, and even if it sometimes does not get to the bottom of the riddle, it will not lead the reasoner into the wrong place, because the three theories that underpin it are rigorous enough – I originally thought so."

"But the shape of reality is often more complex than anyone expected, and when I used this reasoning to try to solve the first crime, the explosion of the Lichong power plant, I met with a fiasco. Yes, one of the three principles that form the cornerstone of reasoning is completely out of order in this case. ”

As Hugo said this, he pointed to the cemetery behind the group.

Passing over each other's shoulders and the back of their heads, the guests could clearly see that several police officers had left the assembly and were standing next to the graves where the electric Pokémon were buried......

They each had a gray-black shovel in their hands!

"What has failed in this case is the first of the three rules – death is irreversible!"

As Hugo's words fell, several shovels simultaneously shoveled towards the bulging grave, destroying the rounded shape of the mound without reverence.

After some excavation, the first wooden coffin appeared in everyone's field of vision!

Then, the police officer took out the nail remover that had been prepared and jerkily pried the nails on the coffin. As the officers moved, the coffin made an empty sound.

Bilan frowned, and by this time she had realized that something was wrong with the sound coming from the coffin.

Finally, the police officers, who had been busy for a long time, finished pulling out the nails, pierced the flat shovel into the gap in the coffin lid, and used the lever principle to cleverly press the end of the shovel.

With the cacophony of wood grinding, they opened the first coffin where a naughty bullet was supposed to be buried, and the audience could see it even though they were some distance away......

There was nothing in it.

The coffin was empty.

In the silence, the candlelight spirits who had witnessed the whole process in the distance let out a sneer.

Like the mockery of death itself.
