In the early morning of July 7, 11 hours after Lu Yi received a call from Miss Junsha.

He left his partners at the Red Lotus Research Institute and asked them to continue consolidating their previous training plan, while he went to the office and stayed up for two consecutive nights.

Densely packed draft papers and analysis charts covered the entire desk in front of Lu Yi.

He summarized the information known at this stage, not missing any details, and tried to figure out the murderer's criminal psychology from various angles.

【One】

The messenger bird was found on the east side of Shuangzi Island at around 7:8 a.m. on July 11. At the time, A-lei and his partner were fishing on Shuangzi Island. They were so panicked that they forgot to observe the time, so the police recorded it based on the time they called the police.

According to professional identification, the messenger bird died between late night of July 7 and early morning of July 5. The cause of death was a sharp object piercing the back of its neck, which was fatal.

The messenger bird has short wings and a fat body, which makes it difficult for it to effectively press the wound on the back of its neck, and eventually its physical strength and vitality are quickly drained away.

There are special patterns carved on its chest and abdomen, which are very similar to the number "2".

In addition, the messenger bird's tongue was cut off, but the murderer's purpose is unknown.

The police force has currently mapped the approximate drifting trajectory of the body and circled the approximate range that is consistent with the source of the body's drifting.

这个范围涵盖了约95平方海里,(1海里约为1.852千米)包含26座岛屿、100多处礁石、以及14个浅滩。

【two】

The place where Charmander was found was deep in the Flame Trail under Chimney Mountain in the Hoenn region. The police received the report at 7:10 am on July 8 from several travelers who were exploring the volcano and looking for traces of fire Pokémon.

After identification by professional personnel, it was found that this little Charmander was very young, and it was no more than two months old from birth to death. It was a newborn of the local Charmander population.

The reason for its death was that its tail was cut off, causing the tail flame that provided it with life energy to lose connection and become unable to continue to maintain the body's energy consumption.

This was a very painful way for the little dragon family to die, especially since it was a newborn.

According to the identification report, Charmander's time of death was probably between 7 p.m. and 3 p.m. on July 19.

Its body was engraved with a clear vertical line extending from the chest to the abdomen, which looked like the number "1".

Because Chimney Mountain is extremely large and has a sightseeing cable car, there were many passengers passing through here at the time of Charmander's death, making the investigation extremely difficult.

……

Lu Yi looked at the two investigation reports with a serious expression, his brows were tightly twisted like hemp ropes, and his eyes were bloodshot with fatigue.

He felt very upset when he saw the time of Charmander's death.

The night of July 7 was the time when Lu Yi’s case handling video was uploaded to the headlines.

But if God wants to play a joke on you, he will never have any scruples.

Some are happy while others are sad, this is a truth that will never change in this world.

When a bright new star illuminates the dark night of sin, another young new star is sent into the abyss.

Lu Yi gritted his teeth and vowed to solve the case and let the souls of Charmander and Messenger Bird rest in peace!

However, although he had made a bold promise in front of Miss Junsha a long time ago, it is not that easy to catch the murderer.

Lu Yi has tried many angles, but he still can't figure out the murderer's motivation!

First, considering the attributes of the elves, they currently include fire, ice, and flying, accounting for 18 of the total 3 attributes. The murderer may have chosen the target according to the attribute, and the final form of Charmander, Charizard, has similar attributes to Messenger Bird, both of which include flying.

So, could it be that the murderer chooses his targets based on their attributes?

If this is true, will his next target be "grass + flying", "water + flying", or "rock + flying"?

Second, from the perspective of the crime scene, assuming that the two cases were indeed committed by the same person, then the murderer chose the Hoenn region for the first crime and the Kanto region for the second crime.

Why did he commit crimes over such a large area? Was it to avoid the concentrated police search while committing crimes?

If that’s the case, where will he choose to commit his next crime?

Chengdu? Kalos? Galar?

Lu Yi just felt his scalp tingling. Even if he followed this line of thought and made many assumptions, he could temporarily rule out the continent where "murders had already occurred", but he would still face huge investigative difficulties!

Third, is it possible that the killer selected his targets based on the elves’ age or development level?

Charmander is in its juvenile stage, and Messengerbird is in its growing stage, so will the next Pokémon he chooses be a mature one? Or a middle-aged or even elderly Pokémon?

The fourth point is the reasoning that Lu Yi is most concerned about.

That is: Could the murderer have chosen a specific scene to commit the crime?

Looking back at the two cases that have happened, the scene where Charmander died was in the [volcano], and the scene where the Messenger Bird was found was in the [iceberg]!

Of course, considering that the actual scene of the messenger bird's death may have been at sea, the iceberg reasoning is not necessarily correct.

However, this is enough to show that the murderer chose the crime scene based on unique environmental considerations.

Once this idea is established, the scenarios that the police force needs to investigate and deploy will be greatly reduced.

For example, excluding volcanoes, oceans, or glaciers, would the murderer choose a place with lush greenery for his next crime?

Considering the non-repetitive nature of the crime areas and the criminal's desire to evade police searches, is it possible that he ran directly from Kanto to the Alola region?

Lu Yi really prayed that the murderer was just as he thought. This way, at least in this vast world, there was still a glimmer of hope to arrest the murderer!

"Dong dong dong."

Just as Lu put his hands on his head and rubbed his scalp due to excessive anxiety, the thoughtful Lina silently brought him a cup of coffee.

"Brother Lu Yi, take a rest. You haven't slept for two days and two nights."

Lina came closer to Lu Yi with concern, fearing that he would not be able to hold on if he continued like this.

Solving the murder case is important, but Lu Yi cannot die before catching the real murderer, right?

"Thank you."

Lu Yi took the coffee, but made no move to leave his seat.

He still focused his attention on the death reports of the two elves, trying to deduce the answer over and over again, even though he had failed countless times.

Are there really no other details to follow? Lu Yi pounded his head in frustration.

Seeing him like this, Lina simply went around behind his seat and rubbed his shoulders and neck, at least this could help him relax a little.

Feeling Lina's concern, Lu Yi did not refuse. He just smiled at the girl, then leaned back in his chair and enjoyed himself, picking up the two death reports again.

"What is the connection between '1' and '2', Charmander and Messenger Bird..."

【Who is the King of Reasoning】

Last issue answer:

The Throwing Monkey's special move of earthquake was originally unable to hit the Wind Chime Bell with its floating property, which was why the tribesmen were surprised to see it being killed instantly in one hit.

But the throwing monkey can learn to "pass the gift", and even if the opponent has no props, it can give its own props to the opponent. (The original question has details that the black ball on Feng Lingling's body "appeared out of thin air.") It gave Feng Lingling a black iron ball, and the huge weight caused Feng Lingling to fall to the ground, and then was killed instantly.

When a Pokémon like Wind Chime is extremely angry, its cry will turn into a strong ultrasonic wave, blowing the opponent away directly. Therefore, the Throwing Monkey did not fly away by itself, but was the result of the collective sound of the Wind Chime clan.

……

Scoring basis: +1 point for mentioning the floating property; +2 points for knowing that the angry cry of Fenglingling can blow away the enemy; +3 points for mentioning the "pass the gift" skill.
