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

Chapter 316: 2 Groups of Customers

When Lu Yi entered the physiotherapy center, the whole building was very quiet.

Miss Qingzhi's mind was completely on Gardevoir, and even though there were still a lot of tourists today, she had no intention of doing business.

Like the previous police officers, Lu Yi first checked the store's surveillance. According to the footage, Gardevoir was last seen at 9:43 am.

The physiotherapy clinic had just opened for business at that time, and only a thin man with heavy dark bags under his eyes entered the store.

Afterwards, the man left at around 11:50 and did not show any abnormality throughout the process.

Obviously, he chose the treatment package which lasted about 2 hours, and judging from the condition of his face when he left, the dark bags under his eyes had been reduced a lot, so the effect must have been good.

Lu Yi watched the video carefully and found that during the two hours, more specifically about half an hour after the man entered the store, that is, at 2:10, three young men who looked like hooligans left the store with a ruthless pace.

"These three people have been in the private room, right? Your restaurant allows guests to stay overnight?"

Lu Yi turned his head and looked at Miss Qingzhi, who immediately affirmed.

"Yes, they came last night. They were drunk and fell asleep after the physical therapy." Miss Qingzhi recalled the scene of last night.

"In theory, we don't like to let guests stay overnight, after all, we don't have night shift staff in our store. Although it's not a big deal for guests to stay overnight, no one can say for sure if they will have an accident.

If someone really develops a serious illness in the middle of the night, it is easy for them to not seek medical treatment in time, and we may end up bearing joint liability.”

Miss Qingzhi explained with some difficulty, and Lu Yi felt that what she said was very reasonable.

"Then why did you let them stay overnight?"

"Hey... they're drunk, so it's not appropriate to chase them out to find a hotel in the middle of the night! Anyway, we have a massage bed in our store, so we can just lie on it for one night, so as long as it doesn't affect our business the next day, it'll be fine.

But who would have thought that this morning when I asked Gardevoir to wake them up and clean up the room, Gardevoir never came back..."

Hearing this, Lu nodded. Miss Qingzhi's behavior was also normal.

So he sorted out the timeline of events he had obtained based on the surveillance footage.

1. Late last night, three young men dressed like gangsters came here and stayed until the next morning as the last batch of customers of our store yesterday;

2. After the store opened this morning, a thin man came into the store to make purchases and stayed in the store for about 2 hours;

3. The last time Gardevoir appeared was between when the thin man entered the store and before the three young men left, and it has not been seen since then;

4. Miss Qingzhi had always thought that Gardevoir had stayed in the room to make the beds after waking up the guests. So she didn't realize something was wrong until the thin man left the store and a long time had passed. When she looked for Gardevoir everywhere, it had completely disappeared.

After sorting out these clues, Lu Yi felt that if Gardevoir did not escape from here on its own initiative, then the scope of suspects would be very small, and it would be sufficient to focus on investigating these two groups of people.

"Ms. Qingzhi, do any of these customers look familiar to you?"

"Yes." Miss Qingzhi nodded slightly. "That thin boy often comes to my house to spend money. He works the night shift and often has to stay up all night. After a long time, he will feel sore all over and lack energy.

Therefore, he comes here every once in a while, and aromatherapy can help him relieve fatigue to a great extent.”

When Lu Yi heard this, he blinked and had a new idea in his mind.

According to Miss Qingzhi, the thin man was a regular customer of this store, while the other three young men were relatively unfamiliar.

So assuming that they are related to Gardevoir's disappearance, and tentatively guessing their motives for committing the crime, the thin man may have admired Gardevoir for a long time, accumulated a long period of psychological activities, and finally made some irrational behaviors;

The three men were completely the opposite. They had probably never been here before. Even if they committed illegal acts, they were impulsive and there was no long-term planning.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi looked at everyone and said, "Where are the three police officers who came to help before? Can you give me their contact information?"

Lu Yi wanted to contact the police officers as soon as possible to see what new clues they had obtained before he arrived in Lou Shi Town. This would undoubtedly speed up the progress of investigation and reasoning.

"They should have gone to the Pokémon Center. They said they wanted to carefully investigate the specific backgrounds of these customers." Shi San responded from the side.

"Elf Center?" Lu was stunned. When he came here half a year ago, there was no Elf Center in Loushi Town. It looked like an underdeveloped mountain village.

Shi San nodded.

"Well! Our town is getting better now. Many public resources and facilities are being planned and constructed. The Elf Center will naturally be the first to be implemented!"

"Really? That's great!" Lu Yi smiled happily.

"In that case, I'll go meet up with the police officers first. Brother Shi, please come with me and help me introduce them when the time comes.

There is no need for others to go over there. Just deal with the matters at hand first. If I find other details later and need your help, I will contact you as soon as possible. "

After hearing Lu Yi's arrangement, everyone nodded without objection.

Although Miss Qingzhi was anxious, she could not help much except telling the police officers the truth when they asked for clues. This was even more true for Xingguangcan and others. Instead of participating in the investigation, they should guard near the port and be on guard against emergencies at any time.

So, Lu Yi simply calmed Miss Qingzhi down, and then went to the Elf Center with Shi San.
