Pokémon: I'm a detective, not the sixth one.

Lu Yi and Mr. Dalin returned to the villa and walked directly into the bathroom on the first floor.

The place is in a mess, the tiles burned by the fire are in pieces, and many pieces have fallen off.

Two mobile phone Rotoms illuminated it, and Mr. Dalin swept it casually with a charred wooden stick, revealing the drain outlet next to the toilet.

Lu Yi stepped up and tried to kick off the floor drain cover above the drain outlet, but found that it seemed to be welded to the ground, and it was useless no matter how hard he kicked it.

"Captain Lin, this thing seems to be stuck on something and can't be kicked away."

Hearing this, Dalin squatted down to observe, and then asked Lu Yi to call out Katigou and Chilulian.

"Maybe it's something like gel again. Let Katy Dog bake it and try it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cady Dog immediately took action and continued to spit sparks at the metal floor drain cover. It didn't take long for the cover to burn red, and a black sticky substance slowly seeped out from underneath.

"It's indeed gel! Chirulian, use your mental power to turn the lid over!"

Lu Yi's eyes widened in surprise. There was a gel similar to the one in the study!

The next moment, as Chirulian turned the red metal with a temperature of up to a thousand degrees, the stench and poisonous gas that had been sealed in the sewer suddenly rushed to his face like a spring!

"Rub, you can smell the stink through the gas mask." Mr. Dalin frowned tightly.

Lu Yi immediately took the elves back, and then agreed with Dalin's sigh. He thought he was worthy of Mr. Dalin. After hearing that the smelly mud might have entered the room from the sewer, he immediately brought two pairs of gas masks, which came in handy at this moment!

"It seems that the truth will come out soon. Thanks to your grandfather's reminder this time, otherwise we may have to waste a lot of time and take many detours." Dalin looked at Lu Yi and said, "This shows that sometimes, it is better to just sit on the sidelines. The reporter’s perspective is clearer, and our police officers still need to take more suggestions from all aspects when handling cases.”

Lu nodded, "Then what do I need to collect next?"

Mr. Dalin took out two evidence bags and handed one to Lu Yi.

"Put this floor drain cover away. There is no dust on the side near the drain. It may be stained with stinky muddy bodily fluids. I will scrape off some of the sticky stuff in the drain, and I should be able to collect corresponding evidence."

After saying this, Mr. Dalin squatted down again, scratched around in the sewer with his right hand wearing a white glove, and then took off the glove directly into the evidence bag.

"Okay, let's find a board to seal this place again, and then go back to the Alliance Building!"

"Ok!"

……

"Report sir! Our team conducted an on-site inspection near the ticket office and found that there was a manhole cover just below where the hardware store owner parked his car!"

"Report to Team Lin! We fully inspected the hardware store owner's car and found that there was a small hole under the rear floor mat that penetrated the chassis!"

Good news came frequently. After Lu Yi and Dalin confirmed the method of committing the crime, the police officers had a clear goal in their investigation.

The police team conducted a second interrogation of the hardware store owner and Xiang Shouni overnight. The laboratory also concluded that the DNA from the fire scene was conclusive.

Lu Yi and Dalin stood outside the interrogation room, observing everything inside through the glass window. Since they were interrogated previously by colleagues in charge of the theft case, the second interrogation was still left to them.

"Team Lin, why do you think the stinky mud sealed the sewer outlet? They have done it very carefully. Doesn't this leave a loophole?"

Mr. Dalin smiled.

“Sometimes, when people are too smart, they easily dig holes for themselves.

You also said that they handled it very carefully from beginning to end. If we hadn't caught them from the port first, we don't know where they would have gone now. Maybe these two cases would have become unsolved cases that will last for decades.

But we feel that they have done a good job, and they themselves think so too. The hardware store owner made a big mistake. His criminal method, which he thought was perfect, actually left out two fatal details. "

Mr. Dalin said and glanced at Lu Yi.

"First, he put too much thought into the crime process and neglected the 'retreat' link of the two cases. Do you know why the stinky mud sealed the sewers? Because the sewers are full of methane, And the poisonous gas it releases itself!

I guess the hardware store owner didn't even consider this at first, but after everything was done, Xiangshouni discovered this detail when he returned to the sewer, and he suddenly felt uneasy!

It was worried that the light bulb would burst before it even ran back to the car, so it wanted to completely block the air to prevent itself from an accident! "

Hearing this, Lu Yi nodded in agreement. I'm afraid this is the truth.

"Second, the hardware store owner is really smart. The ship ticket he purchased was very close to the time of the ship's departure from the port and the time of the crime, so he almost ran away.

But he underestimated the efficiency of the alliance police force and did not know our basic procedures for handling cases. After receiving the alarm call, our first reaction was to deploy a 'blockade' type of deployment, including checkpoints at ports and highway sections, high-altitude surveillance of Honglian Island, etc. The purpose is to prevent criminals from escaping!

If he had not been so impatient, hid the gold and jewelry in a place, and disguised himself as a tourist with the smelly mud, he would have been able to leave Red Lotus Island long ago. A few months later, when the defensive force we deployed gradually weakens, he will come back to secretly take away the jewelry, and there is a high probability that he will succeed. "

Lu Yi agreed with Mr. Dalin's point of view, and then took a few more glances at the smelly mud through the window.

It's really amazing how soft Pokémon can fit into such a small hole in a manhole cover with such a big body. What if it comes out of the toilet bowl while I'm squatting in the pit...

Huh... Lu Yi couldn't help but feel his anus tighten.

Twenty minutes later, the police officer responsible for recording the interrogation came over and handed the interrogation record to Dalin.

Due to the overwhelming evidence, the hardware store owner and Xiang Shou Ni had no choice but to confess.

The entire case process was basically consistent with what he inferred. The hardware store owner gave the light bulbs and gel to Xiang Xiuni in advance, and the latter sneaked into the villa through a relatively wide drain. Then the hardware store owner queued up to buy tickets and parked the car. Above the agreed gathering manhole cover.

The explosion was indeed just to deceive others. The hardware store owner's original idea was to attract all the police to the villa, steal the jewelry as quickly as possible, and leave the island. Unexpectedly, despite what he thought was a flawless crime routine, he was arrested and brought to justice early.

"Huh... the case is finally closed..."

Lu Yi stretched his waist lazily, his expression looking very relaxed.

Mr. Dalin burst into laughter, and then he remembered that Lu Yi was still on vacation, but just as he was about to talk, a colleague called from behind him.

"Team Lin, we just received a call from the headquarters. It seems that a criminal case has occurred in Jinhuang City. We need you to go there as soon as possible to coordinate the work!"

Hearing this, Mr. Dalin's smile froze instantly, and his eyes looked at Lu Yi a little dull.

Lu Yi: (￣ー￣)

"Captain Lin, please stop looking at me now, right?"

"I wish you all the best! I'm going back to the institute first!"
