Pokémon: I'm a detective, not the sixth one.
Chapter 42 Wild Cat
An hour later, Lu Yi sat next to Bai Di with his face flushed. The latter kept patting his shoulders, as if a "experienced person" was imparting advice to the juniors.
Lu Yi just showed up. When Mr. Baidi was worried about finding a bottle opener, he activated his "Tool Proficiency" talent and solved the problem of six bottles of wine with just a pair of chopsticks.
He stuck the tab of his left hand under the bottle cap, put one end of the chopstick on the bone joint of his thumb, and the other end formed a lever in the distance. He pressed down gently, and the bottle cap flew out with a "bang"!
If Lu Yi hadn't claimed that he had seen elders open bottles like this and his age was also mentioned here, Baidi would have thought that he was a professional bartender!
So the two of us started feasting on each other, and Mr. Badi also called out his three partner elves, all of which were water-type Pokémon.
There are electric lamp monsters, iron-armed spear shrimps in the late stage of ordinary level, and the spiny dragon king in the early stage of elite level.
As a businessman, Mr. Baidi is barely strong enough to protect himself in the sea.
The three elves, Kati and Pippi gathered together and were also enjoying the food and wine in front of them.
For Pokémon, it's not that human food cannot be eaten, it's just that it doesn't do much good if it's eaten in the stomach.
The circulatory system in the elf's body mainly relies on energy supply, and it needs food such as special fruits or energy cubes, which contain huge energy elements, rather than ordinary meat, rice, fruits and vegetables.
Take the Kati dog as an example. Eating these seafood foods can only fill the stomach and purify the fire energy in the body. It can be said that it has nothing to do with it.
But it is still willing to work hard, as long as it pursues the satisfaction of its taste buds!
There were two bottles of wine placed in front of the five elves. Cady Dog and Pippy drank one bottle together, while the Electric Lamp Monster and the Thorny Dragon King shared the other bottle equally. As for the Iron-armed Shrimp, Mr. Baidi said that it is currently in the pregnancy preparation period and needs to avoid the stimulation of alcohol as much as possible.
After the third round, everyone in the room had red faces, obviously having drunk enough.
"belch……"
"Brother Lu, I'm still saying the same thing. People don't get rich without windfall, and horses don't get fat without night grass. Wealth and honor are all obtained through danger."
"Your eldest brother, I have been engaged in maritime trade for 20 years. What kind of disasters have I not seen? Life without storms is not life!"
Baidi had already begun to talk loudly about his philosophy of life. Lu Yi knew that the other party had finished drinking. After all, he only drank one bottle, and the remaining three kilograms of fruit wine were all consumed by Baidi's brother.
Behind them, the conditions of the elves were also very different.
The Iron-Armed Spear Shrimp had already returned to the Poké Ball to rest, while Little Pipi and the Electric Lamp Monster fell asleep with their legs in the air, clinging to each other. Only the Spiny Dragon King and the Cady Dog were still chatting side by side. What are you wearing?
Thorny Dragon King: Brother, this life is like waves, ups and downs, endless, we must go on firmly...
Katigou: Big brother, I have benefited a lot today. I won’t say any more, it’s all in the wine! Dry!
……
Lu Yi nodded repeatedly during Brother Badi's words, and occasionally glanced at the state of Kati Dog out of the corner of his eye. This guy looked like he was too late to meet the Thorny Dragon King.
However, he was not very good at drinking. When he was thinking about how to change the topic to the case itself, Brother Baidi's next words immediately made Lu Yi feel sleepy!
"In these years, thanks to the Spiny Dragon King and the others, they have helped me survive one disaster after another and safely landed on one island after another."
"When I have nothing to do, I like to dive. With the electric lamp monster by my side, even if I dive to a depth of thousands of meters, it can illuminate the surrounding area as brightly as daytime!"
"The pearls stolen last night were picked up by me from the bottom of the sea. To tell you the truth, I have picked up many over the years!"
"It's just that I sold the other ones with worse quality. I only kept a few dozen of the best quality ones at home, which I made into two strands of pearl necklaces. I planned to use them to marry a wife in the future, but I didn't expect that they were cheap. Already..."
Mr. Badi said carelessly, and then drank the wine in front of him in one gulp, with a helpless smile on his lips.
"Your brother, I don't care about money. The problem is that those two strings of pearls are hard to come by. It's hard to find such good quality again..."
Hearing this, Lu Yi felt that an opportunity had come and quickly ignored the other party's words.
"Digo, you said these pearls were hand-made into necklaces. Could it be that the craftsmen were targeting them when they were first made? Is it a crime committed by an acquaintance?"
"Impossible." Baidi waved his hand, "I just made this necklace at home three days ago. It has never passed through the hands of outsiders. I am just afraid of being remembered by outsiders!"
"And I just collected enough pearls a week ago. Even if outsiders have seen it, they have only seen me take out one or two pearls. There is no way they know that I have two complete necklaces!"
"Although this kind of pearl is rare, the value of a single one is not very high. Only if you collect many like me, can it have super high artistic value."
When Lu Yi heard this, he gradually frowned.
"That is to say, the thief is not worth making such a big fuss when he only knows that you have one or two pearls, right?"
"Yes." Baidi nodded. "I'll describe it in terms of specific amounts, and you'll understand."
"A single pearl, which is purely natural and has not been exquisitely polished, can only cost three to four thousand yuan at most. But a string of purely natural and unprocessed pearl necklaces, with 30 pearls on it, cannot be priced at three or four thousand yuan. If you multiply a thousand times by 30, it will be at least dozens of times higher!"
"The market price of each of these two necklaces is more than 500 million, and they are still valuable but not marketable! They are much more valuable than the few gold bars that were lost together!"
Hearing this, Lu Yi couldn't help but take a breath.
The world of rich people is truly unimaginable. No wonder Miss Junsha takes this case so seriously. It turns out that the amount involved is as high as tens of millions of dollars!
"Are you sure that only you know about this necklace?"
Lu Yi looked at Bai Di doubtfully.
"Of course! I'm a little careless about your brother, but I'm not a fool!"
"For people like us who often go to sea, there is no one at home for a long time. How can I tell others such a valuable item!"
"After the two necklaces were made, I would take them out when the sky was dark and no one was on the street, and put them by the window to appreciate them secretly in the morning light."
"The morning light is the softest. You can clearly see the shortcomings of handmade products. Your brother and I are smart!"
Hearing this, Lu Yi blinked. It seemed that the perpetrator was indeed unable to know the existence of the pearl in advance. It was most likely that he discovered it by chance during the theft.
However, Baidi's next words suddenly made Lu Yi's pupils shrink!
"Brother Lu, you don't know how beautiful my two necklaces are! Let's put it this way, even the wild cats on the roadside can't walk after seeing them! They are deeply attracted to them!"
Baidi was fascinated and slowly closed his eyes, seeming to reminisce about the beauty of the pearl necklace.
But Lu Yi still caught the key words.
"Wildcat? Didn't you say that no one has ever seen those two necklaces?"
"Yes!" Baidi glanced at Lu Yi blankly. "I guarantee no one has seen it, but a wild cat doesn't count, right? What's the use of stealing money? It doesn't know how to spend it!"
"What kind of wild cat is it?" Lu Yi suddenly sat up straight, vaguely feeling that he had grasped the key information!
"Could it be Meow Meow or Cat Boss??"
Hearing this, Baidi's eyes widened in surprise.
"Eh? How do you know??"
"It's just a wild meow!"
