Chapter 195: The Case That Came Rushing In
The client's husband and a beautiful young woman got out of the same taxi and walked into a Pokémon-themed high-end restaurant.
They seemed to have already made a reservation, and after greeting the waiter, they sat straight into some secluded seat in the depths of the restaurant.
The two chatted sweetly, neither noticing the private detective at the table in front of them, who had already visited the place in advance.
Probably because of the partition screen in the dining room, they felt safe, and the two boldly sat side by side, while placing the Pokémon they brought on the seat at the other end.
The man's sprite is an electric flying squirrel, and the woman's partner is a foam chinchilla, and the two Pokémon, both rats, get together affectionately as soon as they pop out of the Poké Ball......
Sometimes that's the case.
As if there was an eye behind her, Bilan learned the scene behind her, and connected the veins of the derailment incident in her mind.
The fate of the Pokémon also affects the trainer's life trajectory, and the friendship between the two elves brings the man and woman who were originally colleagues together, developing a relationship that goes beyond friendship...... If the man is not a married man, this will probably be a good story.
However, it is not possible to make an assertion at this time.
Miss Acting Detective is very professional, and hypnosis generally repeatedly admonishes herself - before reaching a final conclusion, the detective can prepare countless reasoning ideas, but must not let these preconceived subjective conjectures affect rational judgment.
A married husband having dinner with a young woman is not exactly the same as cheating, and there may be a misunderstanding that the girl does not know......
Incidentally, the client's husband informed his wife this morning that he would not be returning home.
The reason is a company dinner.
Blue sipped the ice water brought by the waiter, and while stroking the red neck feathers of the Ancestral Bird, she continued to observe the situation at the table diagonally behind her with the help of the reflection of the metal cutlery on the table.
- Ah, kissed.
The appetizer was not served before it was delivered.
It seems that the misunderstanding does not exist.
The kissing is the man's initiative, and the appearance of looking around before starting is very disgusting.
The Pokémon sitting opposite the two were not surprised at all, and looked unsurprised...... It seems that this is already the norm for those two to get along.
As if the client's disheartened face appeared in his mind, Bilan silently moved the spoon to a different angle, no longer looking behind him.
There was a small rattle from the curtain on his side, and Bilan turned sideways, and after a while, a small yellow insect crawled down from the crack, and it was a variety of monsters that "transformed" into electric bugs - it was the key to this tracking operation.
Under the cover of Azure's body, the Changeling reverted back to purple ooze, and spat out a matchbox-sized black machine, an ultra-small camcorder, from its mouth.
After re-entering the camera that had captured important evidence, the girl did not check it on the spot, but stuffed it directly into her pocket.
Among the detective's camera equipment, there are more advanced candid camera equipment than this black matchbox, but Azur deliberately chose this low-resolution model.
This is a fine-tuning for the safety of detective activities. Since the shooting angle is from the ceiling above, even if it is investigated afterwards, the other party will only think that he was accidentally captured by the restaurant's surveillance, and will not think that the photo is actually from a candid shot, let alone a private detective's tracking investigation.
At this point, the order has been basically closed.
Tomorrow, the text version of the closing report will be submitted to the client, and as for the photos taken secretly, wait until the other party pays the commission fee before delivering it in person, so that it is more safe for both parties.
As for today, the acting detective has reached the end of work, so let's enjoy the food served in front of you.
。
Well, as far as the results are concerned, I didn't expect the dishes at that restaurant to be quite delicious.
Carlos's creamy macaroni and mushroom soup included with the set menu are great value for money, completely offsetting the disillusionment that comes with investigating a cheating case.
The Pokémon's food also looks very rich, consisting of a large number of energy cubes and tree fruit desserts, although I don't know what it tastes like, but Eevee eats very happily, and even the Archaeopteryx rarely shows an expression other than the eyes of a dead fish for a moment.
Walking out of the restaurant, Blue didn't take the Pokémon back to the Poké Balls, and just hugged Eevee, with the Changeling on her shoulder, and the Archaeopteryx on her head, walking towards the office.
Feiyun City is lit up at night, and it is also fun to stroll through the lively street market with your friends.
And that's when the first case that Blue was looking forward to arrived.
。
Once upon a time in the hunting area of Guandu, Blue had the tragic experience of being targeted by a wild Kentaro.
Once provoked, the hot-tempered Bull Pokémon will launch a "ramming" attack until one of the opponents and one of them can't get up again. And if their social companions see this, not only will they not dissuade them, but they will also raise their horns with the same high spirits and participate in the pursuit of their companions.
Blue, who was still a novice at the time, did not know Kentero's habit of protecting his short, and threw a hunting ball at the youngest one of the herd, so he was chased by a large group of furious Kentello for several kilometers. It wasn't until he got the help of the powerful boss Pokémon in the hunting area that he was lucky enough to escape in the marsupial pouch.
Whenever she recalls the scene at that time, those red bull's eyes like thorns in her back will make the girl can't help but feel a chill down her spine......
And today, in the streets of the lively night market in Hezhong Feiyun City, she felt this sense of crisis in her back - the sense of immediacy that pierced the air and gradually approached, and finally rushed towards her.
Where does the enemy come from?
Vehicles on the road? The alley behind you? A customer in a merchandise store? Or a poison-based Pokémon under a sewer manhole cover?
The girl subconsciously commanded the elves to surround Eevee and the Changelings into battle, while she still looked in all directions with wariness.
However, the two little guys who were suddenly sent to the ground looked at each other with puzzled faces, completely unaware of what their trainer was nervous about.
"I felt the sight, we were being watched! Eevee, why are you still so laid-back? Where has your "Hazard Prediction" trait gone! ”
Bilan forced herself to calm down, desperately analyzing the current situation in front of her - she was no stranger to the streets here, she and Douzi walked through here when she first came to Hezhong, although there were a few poorly decorated residential buildings here, but the overall security was not chaotic, otherwise there would not be such a lively crowd here at night.
- In this way, the chances of the attacker being a thug or a robber are not high.
So, could it be that the follow-up investigation I just made was discovered? Or maybe the criminals associated with the plasma group came to seek revenge on themselves?
No, it's neither.
The girl ruled out both possibilities one after another.
It's just that with the words of the electric flying squirrel who cheated on her husband, it is impossible for Bilan to have such a strong sense of crisis; And even if the plasma group were to target her, the detective assistant who stayed behind, it was unlikely that they would attack on the crowded streets.
So what the hell is going on?
"Goo-whoa-"
Just as Turquoise's reasoning was caught in a labyrinth, the Ancestral Bird sitting on top of Turquoise's head suddenly cried.
The blue winged feathers hung down and touched the girl's cheek.
Then, the Archaeopteryx spreads its wings on one wing and points to the night sky in front of its head.
"You're trying to make me ...... Looking to the sky? ”
The girl lifted her head, as bewildered as Eevee and Changeling before.
In the eyes is a dense matrix of office building lights...... and a large black shadow.
The backlit black shadow was impartial, and it rushed straight towards the blue like a furious Kentyro running in the sky!
"Eevee, get ready to use ......"
The command of the move came to her mouth, but the girl stopped abruptly. Ibu, who had just prepared for battle, looked at the trainer again in confusion.
There are no such things as gratuitous coincidences.
The Pokémon flying in the night sky, Ebu's invalid "Danger Prediction", plus the location he is in at this time...... If the three elements overlap together......
"Phew—that's what happened."
Bilan breathed a long sigh of relief, and the whole person relaxed, no longer wandering around in place because of panic, and calmly stared at the black shadow that was rapidly growing in the field of vision.
"Tbu Tt�
As the distance approached, the outline of the black shadow had gradually become clear, and by this time, even Eevee had fully understood the situation in front of him, and could not help but let out a cry of surprise.
The creature in front of him in the night was a majestic warrior eagle.
The Warrior Eagle certainly had no intention of attacking Miss Acting Detective. I saw it carefully fly down in front of the blue body, and its human-high body bowed down, and its head with white crested feathers hung deeply.
"It's the warrior eagle who fell from the high floor last time, and it's recovering very well."
Blue touched the beige feather behind the opponent's crown feather, comforting the warrior who had loyally plunged straight to the ground.
What about the family that raised the Warrior Eagles?
Just as this doubt appeared in Bilan's heart, a small figure appeared in the nearby crowd.
"It's really a detective big sister! And Ibu at that time! ”
Some familiar voices came to my ears, and a little boy about the age of preschool appeared in front of Bilan again. His outfit was the same as when she first saw her, still wearing loose pajamas that weren't suitable for going out - it seemed that he had run out of the house in a hurry this time.
"Me and ...... The Warrior Eagle has always wanted to thank his big sister, and when he saw it at home today, he immediately ran down! It turned out to be a real encounter! ”
After the tragic elf fall incident, this child seems to have matured a little, at least in front of outsiders, the name of the elf has also changed from "Eagle Eagle" to the full name of Warrior Eagle - from a psychological point of view, it can be seen that the boy is trying to get rid of his willfulness.
The little boy tried his best to explain the situation, and at the same time, he followed the example of the warrior eagle and bowed his head deeply to the blue and thanked him deeply.
"Uh...... Didn't you thank you when you were in the hospital before? Bilan recalled.
"At that time, I just said I'm sorry."
The child replied with extra seriousness.
"You are the life-saving benefactor of the Warrior Eagle, only my mother thanked you, I regretted it for a long time."
"Alright, alright." The acting detective put his hands on the heads of the Warrior Eagle and the little boy, "I accept your gratitude, and now let's get our spirits up." ”
Although the girl tried to act like a mature and personable adult, when the boy and the warrior eagle actually raised their heads, this person couldn't help but be a little dazed.
What they saw was a pair of dead fish eyes that seemed to have no emotion—it was the Archaeopteryx that sat silently and still sat on top of the blue head.
I didn't pay much attention to it in the night before, and I thought it was some special headdress. At this time, when you look at it up close, it is indescribably weird. The warrior eagle froze, and the little boy subconsciously took two steps back.
The atmosphere became a little awkward unconsciously.
But fortunately, Miss Detective was unaware of this embarrassment.
She was just feeling new to the situation in front of her - she couldn't have imagined that she would meet the person who had happened a few months ago on the street.
No, I should say that I only stepped into this neighborhood again today. Just as Kentello guarded his territory, the Warrior Eagle and the boy who loved to look out the window also regarded the scenery under the nearby sky as their "hunting ground", which is why they discovered themselves so quickly.
"That's right, big sister detective."
The little boy suddenly became squirming and crumbling, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Under the curious gaze of Bilan, the child raised his little face-
"I have an important case that I would like to entrust to you."
Sometimes that's the case.
