Chapter 201: Azure's Exploration
After ending the call with Sachiko's mother, Bilan thought about it for a long time.
It is highly unlikely that the lady would have distorted the facts in her exposition to deceive herself—the trick of changing her voice out of vigilance aside, if she had genuinely objected to Bilan's investigation, she could have hung up the phone without saying a word, or perfunctorily cooperated with her so-called "police inquiry", and then hastily did not have to ask her more than to entrust her.
If Hugo had been here, perhaps he would have been able to get a glimpse of the shape of the truth based on the available information alone. But Bilan is still just an acting detective, and the number of real cases solved by herself is zero, even though she can see through the gender tricks close to her ears, but she really can't answer the questions raised by her clients on the phone.
Sachiko's theory of parallel time and space cannot be justified, but the "physique" she possesses is by no means a simple mental illness. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to see your parents' problems at home, but you will not be able to explain the phenomenon that disappears from time to time at school.
In the dark, there seems to be some kind of power that is turning the fantasy that was caused by the girl's momentary misunderstanding into reality step by step.
Where does this power come from - is it the awakening of a special ability in the little girl's body? Or is it caused by the activity of some special Pokémon? Or, in some corner of Feiyun City, there really is some mysterious power that can distort time and space?
While there are a myriad of hypotheses that can be put forward at this point, they are all just general explanations – how do superpowered people behave when they awaken their abilities? What kind of Pokémon can trigger such an event? What kind of power would warp time and space? There are countless doubts and ambiguities, and even if all this knowledge is clarified, it does not mean that the case can be successfully resolved.
Azur isn't as heterogeneous as the whitecoat detective, snapping her fingers while finding a self-justifying explanation for each hypothesis. Once she begins to delve into the details, she will naturally fall into an intelligence desert with a shortage of intelligence, just like ordinary people.
In that case, we have to wait until tomorrow to start the actual investigation...... Bilan's brows furrowed slightly, and her mood was heavy.
It's not because she yearns for the reasoning style of an easy chair detective, but because she doesn't want to search like a Pokémon in chaos in a battle without a clue.
A former trainer, she knows all too well that if you simply hope for luck, victory can often become elusive.
Only with the goal of becoming the best trainer in the world can one become a champion through hard work. Guys who work hard to become the champion of the league can often only fight to a tie with the king. A trainer who dreams of becoming a Heavenly King may not even be able to collect the Gym badges.
By the same token, if a detective starts praying to advance the investigation with a chance clue, then the detective is not far from being ruined.
…… Wait a minute.
If it were that person, maybe it would be possible to make some useful suggestions – and based on the available information, it might even be said that it had to be that person.
An inspiration struck the girl's mind.
She quickly glanced at the clock hanging in the Yuqi Mansion, twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, well, there was no better time to consult that person than at this moment.
Fortunately, the earth is still rotating, and there is such a thing as jet lag in this world.
Bilan flipped out her mobile phone and dialed the first call she didn't know how many times she had made this night.
。
"Oh, it's Lan, is it still a good time to travel in the United Territories?"
A familiar voice came into my ears, and the closed office seemed to blow a breeze from my hometown, filled with the smell of grass and soil in Zhenxin Town, Kanto area.
"It's me, Dr. Ohki."
A smile appeared on Bilan's face: "I have found a new job in Hezhong, and it should be more appropriate to live now than to travel." ”
"Well, the children have grown up." Dr. Pokémon, who is famous in the world, sighed and said, "I always feel that you just got the illustrated book and the Initial Spirit at the research institute yesterday, and you just stepped out of the house." ”
"Doctor, you must be joking, right? If you really have this symptom of Alzheimer's disease, you must see a doctor. ”
"You young people are really making a fuss, Qinglu also said this to me a while ago." Dr. Oki laughed, exactly like before.
"Don't worry, until I explore all the mysteries of Pokémon around the world, I won't easily lose to something as ambiguous as time. Did you know that in recent cutting-edge physics research, time has been proven to be non-existent, which is really an interesting discovery? The pillar of the world that we believed to be true in the past has been defined as an illusion in the theory of another dimension, and I really wonder what the existence of time is in the eyes of Dialka, who is known as the god of time in Sinnoh legends. ”
Crossing more than half the world, it was a sunny afternoon in the Guandu area at this time, and it was also the time for the doctor to enjoy afternoon tea leisurely.
It is really worthy of the world-famous Dr. Pokémon, and even when drinking tea and chatting, he will discuss such an unfathomable topic.
"Let's not talk about my side of the matter, Xiaolan, you actually found a job in the United area......
After some pleasantries, Dr. Oki began to be concerned about the current situation of his juniors.
"Did you apply for a position like the head of the gym locally? Well, the city of Raven is a world-famous art capital, so you shouldn't be like Miss Nazi in Golden City, and join the show business, right? ”
"Neither." Bilan replied directly, "I became a private detective, and I fought crime and cheating every day. ”
Tea was squirting on the other end of the phone, and Dr. Oki coughed without any image.
He said half a day later, "Detective...... Well, that's an interesting career. Although I was a little surprised, if I think about it carefully, it is quite suitable for the bold and careful little blue you. ”
"Being evaluated by the doctor as 'bold and careful' is really complicated, and I start to feel that I can hit the ghost spirit with my fist."
Bilan complained unceremoniously.
"Ahem, the gossip is almost here, considering the time difference, the current Hezhong area should be late at night, Xiaolan, you are calling at this time, you should have something urgent to ask me, right? What is it? The doctor said stiffly.
"I do have some questions I want to consult." Blue paused for a moment, then asked, "Half a year ago, the Doctor recorded a talk show with Hezhong's TV station, right?" The content of the interview is related to time travel. ”
"Oh, that's the thing." Dr. Oki recalled, remembering the debate.
"Xiaolan, did you see that show in Hezhong? The physicist's point of view was quite sharp, and if I hadn't prepared detailed information in advance, I really wouldn't have been able to support the other person's aggressive way of asking questions. ”
Yes, after Bilan's search on the Internet, in the popular science show that caused Sachiko to misunderstand, the expert who appeared on the show as Dr. Pokémon was Dr. Ohki from Kanto Shinshi.
Who else but this doctor can treasure the Phantom Pokémon that is elusive all over the world?
"Actually, I came across a strange incident on the side of the United People, and the cause of this incident is related to your talk show, Doctor......"
In this way, Bilan withheld the client's actual name and told Dr. Oki the story in the eyes of Sachiko and Mrs. Kuribayashi.
With the staggered time and space and the pranks that make the fake come true, what would Dr. Ohki say about this incident?
"Little Blue."
After listening to the two versions of the story, Dr. Oki was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said seriously-
"When I first heard that you were going to be a private detective, I subconsciously felt a little pity, after all, if your abilities are used in Pokémon research, you will definitely be able to make a difference. But after listening to what you said, I completely changed my mind. ”
Blue pursed her lips and listened intently to the authority in the field of Pokémon research.
"What is the purpose of our research? What is the purpose of discovering the truth about the world? Did we make the Pokebook just to fill in the numbers? No, it's not like that, we do research to allow more people and Pokémon to coexist peacefully, to explore the truth of the world to determine our place in it, and to use knowledge and research to decorate the world more beautiful and balanced. Making and collecting the Pokédex is not an end in itself, but an effort to let everyone know the cuteness of Pokémon, to avoid misfortunes caused by misunderstandings between the two sides, and to allow humans and elves to achieve each other - if this original intention is forgotten, scientific progress will become a train that runs out of control and runs out of control, and will inevitably overturn and destroy itself.
"From this point of view, it is undoubtedly the right thing for you to choose the profession of detective to help others. There are many elven scholars and great trainers in the world, and no matter who is assigned to explore a research topic, it is just a difference in how fast or slow the progress is. But at this moment, the only one who can help the child and the couple is you, as a detective. ”
"Thank you for your understanding, Doctor." Blue thanked from the bottom of her heart.
"Don't thank me, I'll tell you everything about this incident, whether it's about Pokémon or other academic fields. But before that, listen to my request—"
Dr. Oki's usual leisurely tone was rarely a little excited, which surprised Bilan. Could it be that behind the incident, there is something hidden that the doctor should care about?
"Xiaolan, please save that child."
Ah, I see, Turquoise almost forgot.
Dr. Ohki, who lives in Zhenxin Town, is actually an old man who dotes on his grandchildren very much. If there was an innocent girl like Sachiko in front of him, how could he be indifferent?
