Pokémon: I'm a detective, not the sixth one.
Chapter 155 Power Damage
Lu Yi sent the portrait of the attacker to his colleagues. Miss Junsha, who was far away in the forest, was very satisfied, and the police officers also expressed their surprise.
Although generally speaking, this type of portrait can only guarantee a 60-70% similarity to the person, because the person who was attacked may not be able to remember it particularly accurately due to the chaotic scene. But this is enough. At least the police officers have greatly reduced the difficulty of comparison.
Lu Yi asked Dr. Omu two more details. One was why his assistant Xiaojian was not there, and the other was whether he saw clearly the direction from which the group of people came to the institute.
Regarding Xiaojian's question, Dr. Omu said that he had returned to his hometown for vacation, which immediately aroused Muzi's suspicion. Because the timing was too coincidental, why was the institute attacked just after the guy named Xiaojian left?
But Lu Yi didn't think there was any problem. He had a God's perspective to a certain extent and knew that Xiao Jian would not do such a thing. Of course, if the police force fails to solve the case, Xiaojian will have no choice but to become one of the subjects whose whereabouts need to be investigated.
As for the direction the attacker came from when he visited, Dr. Ohki had no way of knowing. He was busy in the research room at the time, while Xiaozhi was in the backyard with his elves, and no one paid attention.
There is no surveillance set up outside the Ohmu Research Institute. There is only a video call doorbell, but it does not have a recording function. These are all to protect people's personal privacy. After all, if the facial features of every visitor are recorded, not many people at the Oak Research Institute will be willing to visit.
So Lu Yi and the others could only cross the river by feeling the stones. There were very few clues at hand at the moment. If they wanted to figure out the origin of that group of people, they would have to go to other areas to investigate.
He stopped in front of the main entrance of Damu Research Institute, glanced at the forest to the west, then thought about the town behind him, and finally decided to go to the south.
"Xiaozhi, please continue to guard the institute and contact us if anything happens."
Lu Yi did not let Xiaozhi participate in the investigation, even though the latter had a character that couldn't sit still at all.
Then he and his two teammates walked towards the south. Muzi looked through the clues he had just recorded and asked Lu Yi a question.
"Where are we going now? There is only a team of police officers in Zhenxin Town. Don't you need to go and help with the visit?"
"No, let's act separately." Lu Yi shook his head, "That group of people came very suddenly. If they came from the north, there is a high probability that they will be seen by the villagers, and colleagues from the other team can ask for valid information.
But if they're landing from the southern coast, they'll need to ask port staff. "
Hearing this, Muzi and Yinchuan looked back. The main entrance of Damu Research Institute faced south, and it was indeed the building closest to the south coast in the town.
The three of them walked for more than ten minutes and saw a cruise ship docked at the port in the distance. There were two young men in sailor uniforms on the deck, smoking and chatting.
One of them saw Lu Yi and the others walking quickly, and reminded him loudly with a kind face: "Hey! Are you here to take a boat? Don't waste your energy. The boat has broken down and can't sail today!"
After hearing this, Lu Yi and the other three looked at each other and did not slow down their progress.
Although the crew members were well-intentioned and didn't want their trip to be in vain, the information about the cruise ship's malfunction is likely related to the clues that Lu Yi and the others are investigating!
"Hello, what's wrong with this ship? How long will it take to get through?"
Lu Yi and three others stood on the shore and raised their heads to ask the two sailors.
"We don't know yet, we are investigating! It seems that the power system has failed, and we don't know when the ship repairmen will be here!"
Hearing this, Muzi leaned close to Lu Yi's ear.
"Do you need me to contact my colleagues in the town? Zhenxin Town is a coastal city. There should be a ship repair yard. You can check the repair report records."
Lu nodded, and then continued to ask the two sailors.
"Did it malfunction after it docked? It's really dangerous!"
One of the sailors said carelessly: "Where! It broke down halfway through the voyage. Thanks to the backup power equipment on the ship, otherwise we would be trapped in the sea! The signal at sea is still very poor, and it is not certain whether we can come back alive, haha Ha ha……"
Lu Yi and Muzi kept observing the expressions of the two sailors and found nothing unusual.
So Lu Yi smiled and said: "Then I hope you won't encounter this kind of thing again in the future!"
"I'll lend you some good words! Haha!"
The two sailors obviously liked hearing this. The crew members were at sea all year round and lived in fear every day.
"By the way, how was the power system damaged? Was it damaged intentionally?"
Hearing this, the sailor who had chatted with Lu Yi earlier did not answer. Another young man beside him seemed to understand this better.
"It shouldn't be man-made sabotage. There are no signs of damage to the entire power system, but the machine just won't rotate. It's probably because some parts have aged."
As the man gave his answer, Muzi also received a message from his colleague. The repair shop in Zhenxin Town had indeed received a repair request, but they did not have the parts needed for the power equipment, so they were waiting for the delivery from the cooperative company.
According to the description of the repair shop staff, failures on this ship are relatively rare, and the repair shop basically does not stock related parts.
Hearing these remarks, Yinchuan frowned slightly.
"It seems quite reasonable. The two of them speak very naturally and the details are correct. It should be fine, right?"
Yinchuan looked at Muzi, who was proficient in micro-expression observation and felt that there was nothing unusual about the other person. In this case, the three of them should be able to identify themselves.
Previously, Lu Yi was not sure whether the two sailors were accomplices of the attackers, so he did not reveal their identities for a long time, and did not even ask them if they had seen the portraits of the attackers.
But Lu Yi still retained his last caution.
"Brothers, can I make a request to you?"
"What request? Just tell me!"
Lu Yi smiled, looking very sincere.
"We came from the Elf Center. We originally planned to spend the night in Zhenxin Town and set off by boat tomorrow morning. But the Elf Center was already full of people, and it seemed that there were some adventurers preparing to travel to Joban Forest. So we changed The plan is to sail directly and rest at Honglian Island.
Who would have thought, the boat was also broken down, and we had no place to stay even if we wanted to find a place to stay!
Do you think this is okay? Let’s walk around the neighborhood first, eat some local snacks, and come here later. It would be best if the ship can resume navigation by then, but if it still cannot set sail, can we be allowed to stay overnight on the ship tonight? "
After hearing this, the two sailors nodded very grandly.
"No problem! I'll tell the captain when the time comes and he will definitely be willing to help you solve the problem!"
Seeing that the other party readily agreed, Lu Yi also smiled, then turned around and prepared to leave.
But Yinchuan and Muzi were surprised to find that after Lu Yi turned around, he secretly pressed the switch of the elf ball!
