Chapter 545: Failed to Pretend to Be Cool
It was already past 1 a.m. when Lu Yi left Shuijing City and returned to the mountainous area east of Qiuye Town.
He planned to go to the wooden house again and focus on investigating the terrain around it.
Now we have the clue that A Pu's legs are disabled, which means that he is not capable of committing crimes alone and it is difficult for him to travel far away. So the question is, why can't we find any trace of his life at home if he can't move independently and can only stay in bed at home?
The answer is obvious - A Pu is most likely dead, and Xiao Ying and A Feng have cleared everything about him.
After all, if he were still alive, Ah Feng would not have let Xiao Ying "wear the right clothes" at home. After all, they have been married for many years, and it would be too cruel to cuckold him in front of Ah Pu.
From the way Xiaoying faced it all calmly and the way Afeng came to see her very naturally, it was not difficult to see that they were not panicked about Apu's death.
Imagine if there had been a violent conflict between them, and in the end, A Feng or Xiao Ying killed A Pu, would they still dare to continue dating in this room? They would have probably already conspired to run away together, right?
So, according to this line of thought, perhaps A Pu’s death was not directly caused by them. It is more likely that the former chose to commit suicide, and it was a peaceful way that did not leave any blood.
Lu Yi now went to the wooden house because he wanted to observe the nearby terrain carefully again to see which direction Xiaoying was most likely to go to bury A Pu's body after his death.
In theory, the road west of the cabin, that is, the road leading to Qiuye Town, does not need to be checked too carefully. Because Ah Feng was still dating Xiaoying, if Ah Pu's body was buried on the road that the car had to pass, Ah Feng would definitely have something on his mind.
There were large mountains to the east and north, so there was a possibility that a tombstone was erected there. It was even possible that the tombstone was very close to the cabin, because Xiaoying still needed to prepare a statement to convince the missing cactus.
But no matter what, Lu Yi believed that the most suitable place to bury the bodies must be the desert in the south.
The area is vast and sparsely populated, so it is difficult for wild elves to spread throughout the entire desert. In addition, there are constant sandstorms, so even if there are traces of pits being dug and sand buried, they will soon be covered by sand and dust.
Therefore, Lu Yi planned to roughly observe the terrain, and then go back to rest as soon as possible. He would share his ideas with the police officers early tomorrow morning, and then he could get more people to search for A Pu's whereabouts together.
However, just as he jumped off the back of the Tropical Dragon and was about to ask Rotom to turn on the flashlight, a faint gaze in the distance instantly aroused his vigilance!
"who!?"
Lu Yi turned his head sharply and just caught a glimpse of the figure hiding behind the tree!
The man seemed to be wearing something on his head, which looked like a bamboo hat, but Lu Yi could only see the general outline with the faint moonlight.
The next moment, when the other party saw that Lu Yi had discovered him, he immediately turned around and ran away!
It climbed the mountain in a few jumps, and kept moving on the rock wall! Judging from its athletic ability, this guy is obviously a Pokémon, not a human!
"Absol, Lucario! Chase it!"
Lu Yi immediately released his two companions. Absol is most adapted to this rugged environment covered with dense jungle. It is a natural assassin and an excellent pursuer!
It used its black eyes to lock onto the other party's figure, and then it disappeared!
In contrast, Lucario's pursuit is more direct. With the power of waveguide, it can keep up with the opponent without naked eye observation! And it is faster and more powerful! Every jump is shortening the gap!
The other companions also wanted to come out to help, especially the Tropical Dragon, who was about to flap his wings to grab the sky, but Lu Yi stopped it, blinked and thought for a moment, then called out Aledo!
"Old man, let's go straight to the top of the mountain."
"The place where I carved the message last time."
……
Swish! Swish! …
The Mengge cactus, wearing a conical hat, relied on its familiarity with the mountain terrain to gradually widen the gap between itself and the two pursuers.
Although Absol and Lucario are agile, there are extremely detailed common sense about footing in rock climbing. Some protruding rocks that appear hard are actually not solid, but are only shallowly buried in the soil. If you step on them too hard like Lucario did, you may lose your roots, which will ultimately affect your climbing speed.
On the other hand, the Dream Song Cactus knows the best route to the top of the mountain and is very particular about the landing point of each jump. These subtle movements are difficult to see and imitate in the middle of the night.
Therefore, it was sure that it had gotten rid of the two guys, and after reaching the top of the mountain, it had the leisure to look back and look below.
However, at this moment, a small emerald green figure emerged from under the cloak on its shoulders, looked at the back of the Mengge Cactus and said, "It seems that you still lost this test."
Hearing this, Mengge Cactus was stunned in disbelief for a moment, then turned around and saw Lu Yi with his hands in his pockets in the distance.
"YO!~Hello."
"The Dream Song Cactus that has awakened its ice power, and..."
Lu Yi originally wanted to calmly pretend to be cool, show his reasoning tolerance, and at the same time be comfortable enough in his momentum to take the initiative in this conversation. But he didn't expect that the combination in front of him would be so shocking!
Lu Yi stared, making sure he didn't mistake the caterpillar for something else, but the reality left him dumbfounded!
“And… Zygarde!?”
"YO!~Hello."
Zygarde smiled at Lu Yi, which really proved what it meant that things change over time, and now it was its turn to take charge.
"Young and promising Detective Lu Yi, can you tell me how you predicted that we would come here?"
Hearing this, Lu Yi blinked in shock and replied, "This is very simple. When I first came to the top of the mountain, I found that the trees here were lush and flourishing. Obviously, someone took care of them regularly. Looking at the commission email you sent to the firm, it vaguely expressed your desire to talk to me about something.
So I guessed that you may have initially thought that I was the one who accepted the commission, so you sent the coordinates of the mountain top. But when my companions came here, you hid halfway up the mountain where you could observe the sky, and when you found that the person who came was not what you expected, you immediately revoked the commission and thought about long-term planning.
But no matter what, this must be a private chat place that you value. Plus, the route that the Dream Song Cactus took just now was upwards, so I guess its purpose was to lead me here."
After Lu Yi finished speaking, Zygarde smiled. He was right about the boy's intelligence!
The Mengge cactus next to it remained silent, still immersed in shock, because Lu Yi just said that it "awakened the power of ice"! How could a stranger like him know his most mysterious trump card! ?
