"Yes! That's the one!" Miss Joy looked at Lu Yi with certainty.

"In our medical center, for a long time recently, the only symbolic bird has been admitted to the hospital for examination. There can be no mistake."

After hearing what the other party said, Lu Yi blinked in confusion.

"What's going on?? When this symbolic bird was sent, it had never experienced a battle! It had been well protected by Dr. Qingyuan. The police team took out its poke ball from the backpack of the girl in black. At that time, it was still alive and well! It was definitely not harmed at all!"

"The reason why it was sent here is the routine procedure of our police force. All rescued Pokémon must go through the medical center before being returned to their trainers to ensure that every Pokémon is healthy. Back to the healthiest state!"

Hearing this, Miss Joy curled her lips.

"I know, so as I said just now, what I want you to remind you is 'when they explore the ruins, they should pay attention to regular inspections', not 'try to avoid risks during battles'!"

"Because when we examined the symbolic bird, we found that the toxin in its body was already very strong. It was definitely not poisoned that night."

"So, I think it should have been poisoned elsewhere, but for some reason, neither the symbolic bird nor Dr. Qingyuan discovered this problem."

After hearing what Miss Joy said, Lu Yi was stunned on the spot, but in fact his brain was already thinking rapidly!

After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and ran deeper into the corridor without looking back!

"Hey! Don't forget to remind me!"

Looking at the other person's back as he quickly left, Miss Joy stretched her neck and shouted.

……

"Dong dong dong."

In a certain ward in the medical center, Dr. Qingyuan was reading a newspaper with a magnifying glass when he suddenly heard an urgent knock on the door from outside.

He quickly put away the objects in his hands and greeted the guests in the most polite manner.

"Please come in. Huh."

Lu Yi anxiously opened the door and met Dr. Qingyuan with a smile on his face.

The symbolic bird leaned leisurely by the window and waved its wings towards Lu Yi. The Noisy Bird sat on Dr. Qingyuan's shoulder, looking very happy at the moment.

"Yo! Look who this is! Hey!"

The Noisy Bird likes Lu Yi very much. It thinks the boy is very smart, and Dr. Qingyuan has also strengthened his awareness of precautions from his previous reasoning. When they go out to explore together in the future, they will definitely pay special attention to issues related to elf hunters.

Lu Yi responded to the greeting politely, and then quickly came to Dr. Qingyuan.

"Doctor, how is your recovery going?"

"It's good. The doctor said I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Phew!"

Dr. Qingyuan looked at Lu Yi with a smile.

"I can rest assured that."

"Actually, I originally came to chat with you today. I didn't expect that I just heard something incredible from Miss Joy. Now I have some questions and I want to ask you. Is it convenient for you?"

Hearing this, Dr. Qingyuan nodded without knowing why.

"It's convenient, just ask. Hey."

Lu Yi frowned.

"Doctor, I heard from Miss Joy that the symbolic bird was poisoned before the night of the incident, and it has been working with you with the poison. Do you know about this?"

Hearing this, Dr. Qingyuan was obviously stunned. He turned to look at the symbolic bird, only to find that the latter was as confused as he was!

"Huh? You said that the symbolic bird has been poisoned all the time??"

"This is impossible! Before we set off from the Hezhong area, we specifically checked our physical condition at the Elf Center. Everything is normal!"

"This is the habit of us explorers. As long as the elves and I plan to go out to explore the ruins, we will go to the elf center for a comprehensive physical examination before departure and after returning! To avoid being damaged by various gases in the ruins! Ugh!"

Dr. Qingyuan was very confident, and Lu Yi also felt that it was impossible for the doctor to turn a blind eye to the poisonous state of the elves. After all, judging from the attitudes of the two bird Pokémon, Dr. Qingyuan must be very caring about them!

"If you put it this way, it's really strange."

Lu Yi frowned and rubbed his chin.

Since everything was normal before the symbolic bird set off, when did it happen and what environment did it come into contact with that led to the poisoning?

Lu Yi tried to connect the clues he had communicated with Dr. Qingyuan yesterday, and soon remembered the girl who committed suicide.

His eyes gradually brightened, and at this moment he figured out a detail that he had ignored!

"Snapped--!"

Lu Yi slapped his forehead hard.

"How did I forget this?!"

"Doctor, your symbolic bird has the property of 'magic defense', right?"

Hearing this, Dr. Qingyuan nodded.

"That's right, otherwise this guy wouldn't have snorted at me even though he was poisoned. I guess it doesn't even know about it... ugh."

Lu Dun stood up from his seat immediately.

"Then I can probably guess the details! And the girl's motive for committing the crime must be related to this matter!"

Lu Yi clenched his fists excitedly, and then explained his deductions to the doctor one by one!

"You see, everything was normal before you and the symbolic bird boarded the ship. After arriving in the Kanto area, you did not explore dangerous ancient ruins. At most, you only entered the Viridian Forest for observation!"

"But Miss Joy said that the symbolic bird has been poisoned for a long time, which proves that this poisoning can only happen during travel!"

"Then, excluding environmental factors, among the many remaining situations, the most likely one is 'food poisoning'! And the Noisy Bird confirmed the photo yesterday, and the girl in black is the restaurant waiter on the cruise ship!"

Lu Yi became more and more excited as he talked. Many details of the attack gradually emerged, and he captured this information very keenly!

"If my guess is correct, these toxins were put into the food that symbolizes birds by that girl! The purpose is to confirm this characteristic of the elves around tourists!"

"The symbolic bird is probably not the only elf that has been put into poison. The Casey family, the Pippi family, and all Pokémon that may have such characteristics are the girls' observation targets!"

"And her identity as a waiter is also very convenient! I guess she would step aside and observe secretly after being poisoned. As soon as the elf showed that he was feeling unwell, she would walk over with other dishes ordered by the guests, and she would not know where the ghost was. If you feel like it, let the elf take another antidote!"

"In this way, she doesn't worry about being exposed at all! No one can detect what she has done until she finds a specific target!"

After Lu Yi finished speaking, he noticed doubts in Dr. Qingyuan's eyes.

It seems that from his point of view, would a "magic defense" feature that is not so rare make a girl so crazy?
