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

"Brother Yi, did you find anything over there?"

Yinchuan followed Lu Yi silently and asked anxiously.

The three-person team has been searching in the mountains for nearly three hours. The sweat is difficult to evaporate quickly under winter clothes. Yinchuan feels like there are ants crawling on his body, and he wants to find the criminal immediately and cut him into pieces!

But Lu Yi only responded with helplessness, shaking his head with regret in his eyes.

"No, Kati Dog didn't find any clues. It seems that the perpetrator has never set foot in the mountainous area."

Lu Yi curled his lips. In fact, he had expected this situation.

Originally, before everyone arrived at the scene of the crime, the three of them in the team agreed that the criminal might be hiding in the mountains, so they went to Mr. Dalin to apply.

But with the appearance of the underground tunnel, Lu Yi knew that the mountain search would not make any progress.

The murderer's crime scene was probably far away, and the pit was just a place where he disposed of the body. Maybe the probability of that person being a Dark Gray citizen was higher.

In the past three hours, Team Lu searched for traces and even visited some mountain settlements secretly, pretending to be tourists. The results were all nothing.

Now they can only hope for good news from Mr. Dalin. At least there must be more clues at the end of the tunnel than in this mountainous area.

Finally, about half an hour later, Muzi received the communication on his way back down the mountain.

"Muzi, Lu Yi, Yinchuan. Follow the coordinates I gave you and come quickly to gather!"

Mr. Dalin's voice came from the other end of the phone. Lu Yi and the others had already reported to each other that there was really no need to explore the northern mountainous area.

So they immediately turned on their location and discovered that the gathering location mentioned by Mr. Dalin was actually at the foot of the mountain on the west side of the outskirts of Dark Gray City!

"Damn it, is this the end of the tunnel? It's actually dug so far?"

Yinchuan sighed in surprise. This coordinate was at least 20 kilometers away from where they were at the moment! No wonder the seniors took so long to find it!

Lu nodded, and then he and Yinchuan squeezed in behind Pokkisi.

"I guess so. The perpetrator is quite smart. He must have put a lot of thought into digging that far. If Deep Gray City hadn't happened to be developing nearby areas recently, I'm afraid he could have kept it a secret!"

As he spoke, Lu Yi looked at Muzi on the Flying Mantis' back.

"Let's go! Let's go over there and gather!"

"Ok!"

……

"Crack, click..."

When Lu Yi and three others arrived at the meeting point, many investigators were taking photos of the environment at the end of the tunnel to collect evidence.

Yinchuan jumped off Pokkisi's back and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Damn it! We really dug this far!"

Lu Yi and Muzi were also very surprised and had already silently estimated the specific time required to dig the tunnel.

Mr. Dalin waved to the three people. At this time, he was surrounded by many police officers.

"Please also report the information collected by your team."

"Yes!" Muzi stood at attention and answered, then took out her notebook.

"There are two settlements and a wooden house in the northern mountainous area."

"The composition of the settlement is relatively simple. They are all villagers who live in the mountains and forests all year round. Most of them are old people and children. The young and middle-aged people have gone to work in the deep gray market."

"And the owner of that wooden house is a butcher who specializes in providing meat to the villagers in the two settlements."

As Muzi spoke, he noticed that everyone had an obvious reaction after hearing the word "butcher", so he quickly described it in detail.

"We paid special attention to this butcher. He was a tall man, about 40 years old, and had been in the business for more than 20 years."

"We are very sure that there is no smell of elves near the wooden house where he is. As for the blood that hits his face, the slaughtering tools used by butchers on a daily basis naturally have a strong smell, but they are also the remains of the flesh and blood of ordinary chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep."

After Muzi finished speaking, Lu Yi made timely additions beside him.

"Muzi is right. There is actually another detail about the butcher, that is, he fell from a cliff at a very young age and broke his right leg."

"Based on our current location, it is basically impossible for the butcher to come so far away to commit crimes. Even if there was help from the elves and he dug this tunnel, he should have killed and slaughtered the Pokémon from his own door. , and then throw the body here in the opposite direction."

"Choose the burial place not far from your home, and then drag your disabled right leg here to commit the crime. I think this makes no sense and is not logical at all."

After hearing what Lu Yi said, all the police officers, including Mr. Dalin, nodded unanimously, and the butcher's suspicion could be completely ruled out.

So Mr. Dalin shared the clues reported by other teams.

"I'll pick out a few more important and valid pieces of information for you to record."

"First, the 10 teams from Dark Gray City visited the neighborhood. All the citizens who were questioned said that everything has been normal recently, and they have never found anyone sneaking around or a Pokémon calling for help."

"There are many suspects in the dark gray market who are more suitable for knife occupations, including craftsmen, butchers, chefs, etc. The police are investigating one by one, and no abnormalities have been found in the seven targets that have been investigated undercover so far."

"On the other side, the investigators who followed the tunnel all the way here have analyzed many traces inside the tunnel."

"This was obviously created by Pokémon using its burrowing skills. There are no hard objects digging like a 'shovel' beneath the surface. Instead, it looks like it was pricked by many 'claws'."

"The inside of the tunnel is very wide, even wider than the size of Kentero's bones. Combined with the perpetrator's limited strength, the elf who assisted him in committing the crime should also be small. Therefore, I think there are more than just Pokémon digging the tunnel. A criminal may have many helpers."

Hearing this, Lu Yi asked in surprise.

"Sir, is it possible that the elf digging this tunnel is a small Pokémon similar to Meowth?"

Mr. Dalin nodded. He knew why Lu Yi thought of Meow Meow. Although Miss Junsha led the team in that incident and Mr. Dalin was not directly involved, he also heard some case experiences from the former.

"Exactly. The Mew family, both in body shape and sharp claws, are highly similar to the excavation marks in the tunnel."

After hearing this, Lu Yi probably had an idea.

They cultivated elves that were able to perform special burrowing skills, were very small, and had sharp claws. The trainer himself was very familiar with knife skills, which reduced the scope of the investigation a lot!

Mr. Dalin continued his analysis.

"Next, we need to deploy several teams to borrow equipment from the Elf Center to screen the types of elves registered by residents of Dark Gray City."

"The factors mentioned earlier are the key targets for investigation."

"For example, if a trainer simultaneously breeds elves such as meows, round land sharks, and screw gophers, he needs to be listed as a key suspect."

"If he is also a chef in a certain restaurant and is very familiar with knives, then he can arrest him directly!"

Mr. Dalin said as his eyes swept across the police officers one by one.

"This case is extremely serious, and the criminal's crimes are heinous! I make an exception and allow you to use violent means, and as long as you find a target with serious suspicion, you can arrest the person first and interrogate later!"

"Do you understand everything?!"
