Pokémon: Stranger Things

"Miss Bai Bai, you are..."

"These two children are my assistants, and I want to find some information."

After all, Bai Bai was a detective hired by the police, so the police guarding the reference room did not stop him.In this way, Bai Bai was able to bring Chensha Tianman into the reference room.

Since the monitoring in the data room will also record the sound, they have already discussed the countermeasures before leaving.Bai Bai is not an official member of the police station, but she has a close relationship with Miss Junsha in Qingtian City, so she can use Miss Junsha's information to obtain authority.It was because of this that Bai Bai was able to call out the information of the murdered girl.

If the matter is revealed in the future, it will only be blamed on Bai Bai himself, and will not endanger Chensha and Tianman.This is also her responsibility as an adult.

When Chensha and Tianman retrieved information from Baibai, they used the act of searching for some case information to cover it up.After Bai Bai successfully retrieved the information, the three of them walked out of the reference room as if nothing had happened.

"Other places are not concealed enough, let's go to Qingtian Gym to discuss."

After walking out of the police station, Bai Bai took Chensha and the two back to the closed Qingtian gymnasium, and entered the gymnasium through the back door.

"It's probably the information. This child is just an ordinary person, and there are not many records about her."

Bai Bai imported the information into his computer and showed it to Chen Sha.

The girl who was killed was named Suzuran, which is a very common name in the Kanto area.Besides her, her family members also have father and mother.It's just that her mother died of illness three years ago, and her father was imprisoned for theft and is still serving his sentence.

"Is there no more information, Sister Bai Bai? For example... there are some information about Lily of the Valley's parents."

"Wait a minute, I'll call it out now. After all, they are a family, and the information is all recorded together."

After hearing Chensha's words, Baibai pulled out more information about Linglan's parents.

Suzuran's father immigrated from the Hezhong area to the Kanto area. He used to be a trainer. There is still a record of him in the alliance's information database, which shows that he worked as a trainer at the Yuanzhu Gymnasium in the Chengdu area 15 years ago. referee.And Linglan's mother is a native of the Kanto area, and owns a small flower shop under her name, but it has been sold out three years ago.

What happened next was recorded in Lily of the Valley's information.The mother died of illness, while the father was arrested for a crime.Since neither of her parents had any other relatives, Lily of the Valley had to live alone—yes, the Qingtian City officials did not properly arrange for Lily of the Valley who was alone.

"I probably understand something."

Chensha nodded thoughtfully, wrote down his thinking on paper, and showed it to Bai Bai.

"The time of leaving the flower shop coincided with the time when Linglan's mother was diagnosed with the disease. Most likely, it was because of the high medical expenses that he had to leave the flower shop. And then Linglan's father chose to steal, maybe he was desperate. , can only choose this path, so that he can have a glimmer of hope to save his lover. Then..."

Chensha drew the images of a few elves on the notebook.

"The police's previous investigation results showed that the recent cases may be the behavior of ghost-type elves. The common ghost-type elves are probably ghosts, dream monsters, and night watchmen...but most of the little guys only like to treat Human pranks. Those who can do such a bad behavior are probably...these."

Chensha pointed to the last few elves with a pen.Flutterball, Flower Rock Monster, Chubby and Candlelight Spirit.

"Most of the behaviors of fluttering balls are done to children, rule them out; and Huayan monsters are almost hard to meet, and they can't be found in the Kanto area. Although they look like the handwriting of Huayan monsters, the probability is not high. , ruled out; as for chubby....I have the impression that they will attack fishermen at sea, and the victims are all attacked in the city. I tend to think that this little guy is the one who started all of this, Candlelight Spirit .”

Speaking of this, Chensha drew its evolution type behind the portrait of Candle Light Spirit.

"Sister Bai Bai, as the owner of the gymnasium, you must have known the nature of the Yuanzhu gymnasium, right?"

"Ghost system..."

Bai Bai was also thinking rapidly at this time, thinking about what clues could be combined from these information.

"That's right, it's the ghost system. Sister Bai Bai should have already guessed it, right?"

Bai Bai closed his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded.

"Ling Lan's father used to work in Yuan Zhu Gym. As a trainer, he has a high probability of possessing ghost spirits in his hands. And candle light spirits happen to be more common in the Hezhong area. Perhaps it is Ling Lan's father's The elves did this for a purpose."

Bai Bai felt that he had found an important clue.She originally wanted to light a cigarette, but suddenly remembered that smoking is also prohibited in the gymnasium.Last time, she couldn't help it just to relieve her mood. Now, in order to protect the health of the children, she decided not to smoke.

Seeing Baibai's twitching and stopping movements, Chensha smiled helplessly.

"If you want to know more information, you can only go to the prison to collect evidence in person. It's just that... if you don't take some measures, there is no way to enter the prison. It seems that I can only prepare gone."

Bai Bai felt that he had stepped into the abyss of knowing the law and breaking the law.But as a detective, she couldn't ignore the truth that was right in front of her eyes.What's more, she has promised Chensha and Tianman that the three of them will find out the truth of this case together.

"Sister Bai Bai, I think... we can also find out what that girl was doing before she was killed."

Tenma, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke her thoughts.

Tianman thinks that she can't match Baibai and Chensha in terms of brain power, but she also wants to help.

Tianman's words also made Chensha and Baibai notice information that they hadn't paid attention to before.Since the attack started after Suzuran was killed, it is also very important what Suzuran experienced before her mother died, her father was imprisoned, and she was killed. There may be some important information hidden in it.

"It's a great help, Xiaotianman. If you didn't remind me, maybe we wouldn't have thought of this. Well, it's all here."

Bai Bai expressed her gratitude to Tianma, and then called out Lily of the Valley's information.

It shows that after parting from her parents, Lily of the Valley walked the streets and alleys selling flowers in the neighborhood where her mother's flower shop was located, and seemed to make a living by doing so.

"Sister Baibai, only you can get us to go to the prison. Let's split up this time. Tianman and I will go to the neighborhood to investigate Suzuran's experience. If Sister Baibai wants to go to the prison, we can prepare the necessary matters for going to the prison, okay?"

"That makes sense. Then let's meet up at the gymnasium later. I'll leave you a copy of the key to the gymnasium. Remember, safety comes first."

Bai Bai also thinks that Chensha's proposal is very reasonable.If three people go together, it may cause suspicion, it is more efficient to act separately.She handed over the spare key of the gymnasium to Chensha, and repeatedly told them to pay attention to safety before leaving.

Saying goodbye to Baibai, Chensha and Tianman went to the neighborhood of Qingtian City.The block where Linglan's mother's flower shop is located is the old town in Qingtian City. The buildings here are very old-fashioned, and they look old at first glance.There are mostly elderly people walking on both sides of the street.

Before the former address of the flower shop, Chensha and Tianman stopped.

The shutter door in front of the door was closed tightly, and it seemed that no one took over even though it had already been cashed out.

"What are you looking at in front of this door?"

An old voice sounded from behind the dust.Looking back, it was an old man on crutches, with a katti dog beside him.

"This flower shop has been closed for a long time, and no one has taken it over."

The old man seemed to know something about this flower shop.Perhaps, you can ask something from him.

"I'm sorry, old sir. We are employees of the White Cypress firm. You see, this is it."

Chensha showed the old man the business card he had brought from Sister Baibai's desk earlier.As a detective, Bai Bai naturally has an office, but unfortunately, she is the only member.

"We're here to find out the truth. If you knew what happened here...."

The old man looked at Chensha and Tianma standing in front of him.Then he sighed and turned to leave.

"Come with me."

"Excuse me."

Following behind the old man, Chensha and Tianman walked into the old man's residence.After the old man greeted them to sit down in the living room, he said a word for no reason.

"You want to know the previous owner of this flower shop?"

Unexpectedly, the old man already understood the reason why they came.Chensha didn't say before that he came to investigate Lily of the Land, but the old man still guessed it.

"It's like this. If possible, I hope you can tell you what you know. Just treat it...for the child."

Chensha solemnly stood up from his seat and bowed to the old man.

"That's all, that's all. Let me tell you what I know."

The old man took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and told what he knew.

"When I was young, the girl Meihui was still a child. Her parents and I were neighbors, and I watched her grow up with my own eyes. When she met the young man from other places, as an elder, I still I specially tested him. Although Cheng Shu is a stunned young man, but fortunately he has a good heart, so we agreed. I believe you all know who they are, they are Ling Lan's parents."

Unexpectedly, the old man actually had such a relationship with Linglan's family.

Chensha took notes seriously, choosing not to disturb the old man's narration.

"Their daughter, Lily Lan, is just like my granddaughter. It's a pity that people's wishes don't come true. Meihui suffers from an incurable disease. Even if I try my best to help, it's still a drop in the bucket. After that Even if I don’t say anything, you should already know about the matter. I expressed my willingness to take in that child, Lily Lan, but she refused. She said…”

The old man's last words made Chensha's eyes widen.

"For the sake of my parents, I can no longer cause trouble for those who love us. Besides, I already have friends who can be my companions."

The first half of the sentence is quite normal, but the second half of the sentence seems a little abnormal.

"Old man, after that, Suzuran was always alone?"

Dust has an urgent message to confirm.He hoped that the old man could give an answer that was the opposite of what he had in mind, but unfortunately...

"Yes, she is the only one. When selling flowers on the street, she is always talking and laughing, as if there is something around us that we can't see."

"Is that so..."

The old man's information made Chensha's answer more credible.He silently wrote this down in his notes.

"Thank you very much, I think I know enough. Please allow me to apologize for the trouble we have caused you."

Chensha put away the notes and bowed again to the old man.

"It doesn't have to be. I don't care if you bother me, I just want this to be over."

Chensha couldn't discern any thoughts from the old man's eyes, so she had to apologize to the old man again, held Tianman's hand, and walked out of the old man's residence.

"Dust and sand..."

"Next, let's go to the flower shop."

Seeing Tianman looking at her with some concern, Chensha showed her a relaxed smile.

After Chensha and the others returned to the gymnasium, the matter on Baibai's side had also been dealt with.

"Chensha, you...forget it."

When Bai Bai saw a bunch of lilies of the valley beside Chensha, he already knew what Chensha was thinking.She chose not to comment on it just because she knew it.

"I've already taken care of the prison. We can change into prison clothes and sneak in, but Xiao Tianman can't do it."

Bai Bai stood up from his seat and walked to Tianman's side to measure her height.

"Xiao Tianman's stature is too short, and he will reveal his secrets at a glance. So, this time, you should stay here to meet us. This is also a very important task."

Bai Bai patted Tianman's little head, and stuffed a note into her hand.

"This is....."

"Junsha's phone number. If we haven't come back, just call her. I don't think... she shouldn't care too much, right?"

Tianman saw Baibai who turned his gaze to the side with some embarrassment, and could feel that what she said was not credible anyway.

"Okay, I'll remember."

Tianman put away the note and watched Baibai and Chensha leave.

Thanks to Bai Bai's previous management, the two of them who put on prison correctional clothes managed to get in - but before entering the door, the guard guarding the gate blinked at Chensha.He was obviously a little shorter than normal guards, and his face was familiar to Chensha.

Good guy, it turned out to be the boy who sells ice cream.

"Sister Bai Bai..."

"Shh, that's my brother. Don't worry about it."

As soon as Chensha opened his mouth, Bai Bai knew what he wanted to ask.Chensha, who received the response, also stopped making a sound, and walked towards the place where the prisoners were held inside the prison.

In the depths of the cell, there is a cell for solitary containment.There is a very decadent man imprisoned here. It can still be seen from his face that he is not very old, but his hair is messy and his beard has not been shaved. He looks much older than his actual age.

"Mr. Cheng Shu, please read this."

There will be no other people around this containment room, this is what Bai Bai has already arranged.In front of Cheng Shu, Bai Bai showed his ID.

"What is a detective doing here? Oh, you are still the owner of the Qingtian Gym, right? Why, are you planning to laugh at me? Laugh at me, a useless piece of trash who can't protect my family."

Cheng Shu's words were extremely sharp, and it could be heard that he didn't want to communicate with Bai Bai at all.

"We are here to investigate the case related to your daughter, Lily of the Valley. We will investigate the truth and let the criminal get the punishment he deserves."

Hearing Bai Bai's words, Cheng Shu glanced up.

Then, he suddenly stood up from the ground, grasped the prison railing with both hands, and roared hysterically at Bai Bai.

"You can't even properly place an innocent girl, and now you have the face to say you want to find the murderer?"

Chensha patted Baibai on the shoulder, signaling for him to negotiate with Cheng Shu.

"You really love your wife Meihui, Mr. Cheng Shu. After all, you are willing to risk yourself for her."

Chensha's hand was still behind his back, and he didn't know what he was hiding.

"But you probably don't love your daughter that much."

"What qualifications do you have to say such things!!!!!!"

Cheng Shu was very emotional.Chensha knew that if she really had no feelings for her daughter, she would not have such a big reaction.

"So, did you ever wonder what would happen to your daughter if you were arrested?"

Chensha still spoke in a flat tone, which was in stark contrast to Cheng Shu's performance.

Facing Chensha's questioning, Cheng Shu fell silent for a moment.

"You haven't thought about it, maybe you've been carried away by too much emotion. But I think..."

Chensha took out the hand that was behind his back.At this moment, he was holding a bouquet of pure white lily of the valley flowers in his hand.

"Lily of the valley still loves you. Lily of the valley's flower language is [happy return]. Maybe she still hopes to see you again one day. Even if the past days will not return, but the new beginning will not disappear. I chose this name for her because of the love you and Meihui have for her, right? Come, this is for you. I will give you the bouquet that the child has not delivered to you. "

Chensha lifted the orchid of the valley to Cheng Shu.Cheng Shu's hands trembled, but he still took the orchid of the valley that Chen Sha handed over.Facing the white bouquet lying in the palm of my hand, and the little buds on it.The tall man knelt down slowly on the ground, whimpering and sobbing like a child.

"Little Dust..."

Bai Bai turned his head to look at Dust, who still had a calm expression on his face.

"Sincere emotion is the only medicine that can awaken the lost."

Chensha raised his head and covered his chest with his hands.Even if Shiroki has recovered the emotion hidden deep in his heart, this matter is far from being resolved.

Blue-purple flames flickered in the corner of the cell.A vague figure is gradually emerging.

"It seems that the most important guy has finally appeared."
