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

【Xiaotong Residence】

1:28 p.m.

"..."

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

Lu Yi stood outside a small courtyard of a house and thanked the woman on the other end of the phone.

He had already arrived at Xiaotong's house by car, and used the time on the road to consult questions with his old acquaintance, the owner of Lijia Pavilion.

"After the mushroom spores are inhaled by the human body, how long will the person be in a coma?"

This was the biggest doubt in Lu Yi's mind, because when Teacher Xinzi found Xiaotong and Xianglian, more than 20 minutes had passed and Xiaotong was still sleeping very soundly.

As a grass-type expert, Gym Master Lijia is very clear about the actual effects of mushroom spores. She said that this situation varies from person to person and is closely related to the concentration of inhaled spores.

Generally speaking, mushroom spores have the same effect on humans and Pokémon, but the stronger the subject being hypnotized and the lower the concentration of spores inhaled, the shorter the sleep time will naturally be.

Lu Yi brought this interpretation into the game, which was probably a situation where some elves would "only sleep for 2 rounds" or "wake up in seconds", while in reality only a few seconds to a few minutes would have passed.

On the contrary, the weaker the Pokémon that is hit, and the higher the concentration of the spores it inhales, the longer it will sleep. In the game, this is 4 or 5 rounds, but in reality, it can take anywhere from minutes to dozens of minutes.

Xiaotong obviously belongs to the second case, but Lijia Pavilion Master carefully reminded Lu Yi that this also needs to take into account the problem of getting up very early in the morning. Xiaotong was originally sleep-deprived, and it is very likely that he will enter a deep sleep under the hypnotic effect of mushroom spores.

In other words, perhaps the spores had already lost their effect, but Xiaotong slept for such a long time because of her own physiological needs.

After listening to her explanation, Lu Yi was not discouraged by Lijia's inability to come to a definite conclusion. Instead, after hanging up the phone, he came up with a guess, that is, the concentration of these spores could not be too high.

Because, if the mushroom spores were effective enough, the criminal would not need to "manually hypnotize" Teacher Xiang Lian!

At this moment, he came to Xiaotong's door, tidied his clothes and thoughts, and pressed the doorbell for a visit.

"Ding dong..."

The melodious bell sounds echo in the courtyard, blending with the flowers, plants and trees, creating a rural beauty.

This is how the elf world works. Even though Xiaotong was born in an ordinary family, she can still enjoy a house with a private courtyard and beautiful scenery. Because the land here is vast and sparsely populated, there is no incredible bubble economy in the real estate industry.

"Who is it?"

The video intercom outside the door revealed a boy's face. He looked only four or five years old, with innocence and clarity in his eyes.

Lu Yi showed his ID and said, "Hello, Xiaotong. I am a private detective assisting the police in finding the Lost Lip Baby. My name is Lu Yi.

I came here today mainly to talk to you about what happened this morning. Are your parents home?"

"No."

Xiaotong shook his head obediently, and Lu Yi could see the loneliness in his heart.

"My parents won't let me open the door to strangers. Let me transfer the call to them."

After Xiaotong finished speaking, he pressed a few buttons on the intercom and the video call jumped directly to his father's mobile phone.

Lu Yi reintroduced his identity and asked Xiaotong's father to find Miss Junsha for verification. A few minutes later, he finally sat next to Xiaotong.

"Big brother, will the lip baby come back?"

Xiaotong sat on the sofa feeling aggrieved, with her legs curled up in her arms and her head already buried unconsciously.

Lu Yi patted his back gently, and said with pity in his heart but firm eyes: "Yes, brother will definitely help you find it back!"

"Thank you."

Xiaotong bit her lips with tears in her eyes. Lu Yi really couldn't imagine how much trauma such a young child had suffered!

This further stimulated his fighting spirit, and he said seriously: "Xiaotong, I think you are a little man. Even when attacked by such evil criminals, you still care about your friends. If the lip-chasing kid knew, he would definitely be proud of you!

In time, you will have an unbreakable bond and become a world-famous pair!

So, I hope you can be strong. Only if you are firm enough and provide us with as many detailed clues as possible, can we get the baby back home faster, right?"

Hearing Lu Yi's encouragement, Xiaotong nodded with red eyes. Lu Yi took the tissue on the coffee table and helped him wipe away his tears.

"Describe to your brother, when you gathered in the morning, how did you and the teacher discuss buying breakfast on the bus?"

Lu Yi's way of asking questions at this time was very particular. He did not let Xiaotong describe the case alone, but gave him a precise scenario.

Because, a child of Xiaotong's age does not have comprehensive logical thinking ability. He cannot narrate many scenes in a coherent manner according to the timeline, but as long as he is given a direction, he can concentrate and carefully recall the situation at that time.

"Well, let me think about it..."

"I was chatting with the teacher at the time, and a classmate in the back row brought breakfast, which smelled really good, so I swallowed my saliva silently.

The teacher immediately noticed that I was hungry and asked me if I hadn’t had breakfast. I said yes, then she checked her phone and saw that there was still some time before the bus left, so she took me to the nearest breakfast shop.

After listening to Xiaotong's description, Lu Yi frowned and asked, "The kids in the back row brought breakfast, why didn't your parents bring it for you? Don't you usually eat breakfast?"

"No." Xiaotong shook her head.

"Because my parents have to run a business, they go out before dawn every day. They have to prepare ingredients in the store and make breakfast for me. Usually they are almost ready, around 8 o'clock, and then they go home to pick me up and send me to school.

Actually, I can’t blame them today. My mother gave me money to buy some food around the school, and they didn’t have time to make it. But I wanted to save the money and buy a gift for the baby, so I didn’t eat breakfast, thinking that it’s okay to go hungry occasionally. ”

"So that's how it is." Lu Yi nodded silently and figured out what happened with breakfast.

"Brother also wants to ask you, when the other children gathered to board the bus, you had time to chat with the teacher. Is it because you sat very close to Teacher Xianglian?"

"Yes! Teacher Xianglian and I will sit on the right side of the first row, and Teacher Xinzi and another student will sit on the left side."

Hearing this, Lu Yi thought it was indeed true.

"Then you sit in the first row. Is it according to a certain ranking rule, such as test scores, height, etc., or is it simply because you have a good relationship with the teacher?"

“It shouldn’t be arranged according to grades, right?” Xiaotong blinked her big watery eyes.

"Oh, I remember now. The school has more freedom in seating arrangement. I originally wanted to sit in the back after I got on the bus, because there are friends I usually play with there. But Teacher Xiang Lian took good care of me. As soon as I got on the bus, she let me sit next to her. I also like getting along with her, so I sat down right away!"
