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

The moment Lu Yi saw these words, his hair stood up.

He didn't expect the murderer to be so arrogant! He actually continued to commit evil deeds in such a short time!

He quickly turned to the back page and carefully read the details of the third case.

Seeing this, Muzi and Yinchuan knew that they could not help much by staying here, so they quietly left their seats and went straight to the Honglian Research Institute to pack their luggage.

The files in Lu Yi's hands were recorded in great detail. Shuiyueyu's cause of death was cardiac arrest, and he seemed to have entered a deep sleep before death, with an incredible smile on his face.

The case occurred on Island No. 1 in the remote waters of the Hoenn region, a place where a small population of water-skipping fish live and where few people go.

Based on this point alone, Lu Yi believes that the murderer's intention is even more vague.

It is obvious that both the water leaping fish and the messenger bird were killed in island or marine environments. But why was the messenger bird thrown into the sea, while the water leaping fish was left there and eventually discovered by people passing by?

Lu Yi thought about it for a moment and believed that there might be three reasons why the murderer did this.

First, the environment he was in at the time, with other humans or Pokémon nearby, made it inconvenient for him to move the body and throw it into the sea, so he simply left it where it was;

Second, the murderer may have become more courageous in the process of committing crimes. He first killed the messenger bird and dumped its body into the sea. He killed the little fire dragon in the deep of the extremely hidden Flame Trail. Now he killed the water leaping fish on an isolated island.

Combined with the digital markings on these three Pokémon, the murderer is probably acting more and more arrogant and provocative because he sees that the police team has been unable to catch him!

The third reason was that Lu Yi's initial analysis was wrong. The messenger bird was not thrown into the sea, but was lying peacefully at the place where it was killed, just like the other elves.

For example, at places on the beach that are very close to the sea, with the rise and fall of the tide, the body is likely to be swept into the sea by the waves.

Therefore, from many perspectives, the murderer's psychology is becoming increasingly difficult to understand, and the clues left for Lu Yi after each crime are becoming increasingly complicated.

Does this person have a precise intention to commit the crime? Does he really want to kill all 18 types of Pokémon? What is the meaning of the crime scene going back and forth between "Hoenn → Kanto → Hoenn"? Is there a pattern to this? Will the next crime scene be Kanto again? ?

Countless questions filled Lu Yi's mind, and he fell into the urgent situation before Captain Lin's accident.

The nature of this case is so bad and the criminal's methods are so cruel that Lu Yi can't bear it at all!

However, he vaguely remembered that Captain Lin had passed on his experience to him after the counterfeit currency case was concluded. Some special cases often require a long-term game with criminals.

At the beginning, they only tracked Ruotong, the maker of counterfeit money, for a few days, but Lu Yi and Yinchuan could not bear it anymore. However, Captain Lin said that this was just a small scene, and the real unsolved and difficult cases might need to be tracked for several years!

Lu Yi was very afraid that this was the situation he was facing. If the murderer was allowed to go unpunished for several years, God knew how many innocent elves he would kill!

So, Lu Yi stayed at his desk, staying up all night again with mixed emotions including grief, determination, reluctance, and anger.

Even though he had a thick stack of straw paper in front of him, and even though he had simulated countless times and still could not accurately capture the murderer's criminal information, he just refused to give up.

However, a message from Miss Junsha late at night almost made Lu Yi collapse.

The fourth murder occurred.

【About half an hour ago, we received a call that a person found a body at the foot of Mount Songshin in the Hoenn area. The deceased was a night patrol spirit. The preliminary cause of death was severe poisoning. The number '4' was written on the ground below the body.

Next to its body, we found a broken tail. After DNA identification, it was found that the tail was the part that was cut off from Charmander's body.

Based on the above, our department has decided to handle this case together with the Charmander case, the Messenger Bird case, and the Leaping Fish case. 】

Miss Junsha’s communication contained so much information that Lu Yi was shocked!

The murderer is simply crazy! The first three cases were at least several days apart!

But now, less than 24 hours after Shuiyueyu's body was found, he has already committed another crime!!

Too arrogant! This damn guy is too arrogant! !

Lu Yi pounded the table angrily. He was extremely angry at this moment!

Unfortunately, although he silently swore in his heart that he would never stop fighting the murderer, the new clues currently available were of little help in solving the case, and instead made Lu Yi's thoughts even more confused.

The fourth time he committed a crime, it was still at Hoenn. This meant that his route of committing crimes was completely irregular!

The only thing that has not changed is that the attributes of the murdered elves are different, and there has been no duplication until now!

Does this guy really want to kill Pokémon of all 18 attributes?

And if he succeeds, will he carry out a second round of massacre? ?

Lu Yi didn't dare to think too much. He pounded his head vigorously, trying to make himself more sober and figure out the murderer's intention as soon as possible!

Miss Junsha always shares information with me first. Isn't it because she values ​​my ability of association?

Why can't I come to a conclusion? Can you please fight for it?

"grass--!!"

Lu Yi cursed his mother anxiously and grabbed his hair in self-blame because he couldn't find any reasonable clues.

At this moment, Lina, who had been silently caring about him in the back, walked to Lu Yi with a lunch box in her left hand and brewed coffee in her right hand.

This was the midnight snack she prepared at the Red Lotus Research Institute. Lina knew Lu Yi's personality very well and knew that he would definitely not be able to sleep again tonight, so she carefully prepared a nutritious meal.

At this time, seeing Lu Yi's annoyed look, Lina put the food on the desk and patted Lu Yi's back gently, hoping that he would not be too tired.

But at this moment, Lina accidentally glanced at the document on the desk, which contained Lu Yi's latest draft, from the Charmander represented by the number "1" to the newly added Night Watchman No. "4", all of which laid out the timeline in full.

Lina blinked in confusion. Although she couldn't understand the connection between them, she felt inexplicably familiar with the numbers corresponding to these elves.

"Strange, this kind of arrangement, how come I seem to have seen it somewhere before?"

Hearing this, Lu Yi raised his head with his pupils shrinking!

He grabbed Lina's hand and said seriously, "Have you ever seen such an arrangement? Where did you see it?"

Lina let Lu Yi hold her left hand, and gently rubbed her chin with her right hand, thinking: "Let me think... Well, the order is indeed very similar, but not exactly the same. Maybe I'm overthinking it?"

"It's okay!" Lu Yi didn't care about her denial of him. Right now, there was no progress in the case. Even if there was only a slight possibility, it would be equivalent to providing one more idea!

"Whether you're overthinking or not, just speak up! Handling a case is a process of brainstorming, screening, and eliminating wrong answers. I'm looking forward to your new and unique insights!"

Hearing Lu Yi's encouragement, Lina smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll just say it out loud!~"

"Charmander is 1, Messenger Bird is 2, Water Leap Fish is 3, Night Watcher is 4..."

"This sequence is almost exactly the same as the song I learned to sleep in the training major, the Pokémon Counting Song!"

"However, Sequence 2 in the original work is Articuno! Not the Messenger Bird!"
