Chapter 685: Drowning Incident in the Diving Club (Part 2)
The woman who accidentally drowned was named Hannah. She was a junior student at Suizhou University and a member of the diving club.
Her companions were Lance, Qiao and Lurina, all of whom were classmates from the same club, and had no alibi during the time of the crime.
This outing was mainly to change the mood of the students who were eliminated in the preliminary round of the championship.
The four of them are all certified diving veterans, and they are protected by elves. Even in the event of an accident, it would have been impossible for them to cause an accident.
However, for some unknown reason, Hannah's elf, a spiny barracuda, did not appear and protect her trainer when the accident occurred.
…
Let me state in advance that Hannah’s pike was definitely not the one caught by Arthur!
"Hannah's Barracuda is a rare heterochromatic elf with a bluish-gray color. It shouldn't be easily ignored."
Looking at the classmates who were rescued (resurrected) in a stable state in time, Lulina analyzed in a calm tone: "The four of us know that there must be a diving partner by our side when diving. There must be a special reason for Hannah to dive alone in the coral reef."
Seeing his classmate's tone being so cold, Lance subconsciously shuddered as he squatted next to Hannah to examine her.
Lu Lina said such words as if she was sure that this was not a simple accident.
"Isn't that natural!" Joe, who has a crush on Hannah, pointed to the diving suit that the other party had changed into, "The scorch marks are basically what they look like after being broken down by electric current!"
Hannah must have been stabbed in the back by an electric-type move underwater!
The reason why her Barracuda is missing now must be because it was persecuted by the murderer!
After hearing this, Lu Lina secretly shook her head.
There are electric petrels living in that sea area, and there is no evidence to show that she was stabbed in the back. Even if Miss Junsha is found, it will be difficult to open a case immediately.
Normally, in this situation, one only needs to wait until the sleeping Hannah wakes up to learn the truth, but now she is in a deep sleep and there is no sign of waking up for the time being.
The consequences of drowning are varied. It may cause hypoxia and damage to the brain. Even if you survive, it may cause damage to memory and other aspects.
In addition, Hannah showed no signs of waking up and had to be sent to the hospital immediately.
If the correct judgment cannot be made in time, the possible murderer may dispose of the evidence.
Not only that, but even Hannah’s heterochromatic barracuda may not be recoverable…
Seeing the other party's thoughtful look, Lance couldn't help but be curious: "Lulina, is it possible that in addition to being a trainer, model, and student, you also work part-time as a detective?"
"No...not..."
I just simply like the legend of a certain Pokémon detective.
After finding the drowning companion, Zhou You has been watching until now. It was not until the dark-skinned girl in front of him was called by her classmates that Zhou You realized her identity.
Lu Lina, the gym leader of Shuizhou Town, is also a model comparable to Xiao Ju'er.
The team's lineup obviously includes Armored Warrior, Swamp King, Super Bad Star, and Big Mouth Gull, but the ace elf is a Gigantamaxing Turtle... which is impressive.
"Excuse me, can I say a few words?"
Zhou You kindly reminded: "I saw electric petrels preying on barracudas near the coral reef. Will your friend's barracudas also be caught?"
The three of them looked at each other and realized that the possibility was indeed high.
Lurina recalled for a moment and remembered the habits of the electric petrel: "This kind of elf will build a nest on the cliffs of the coast. It is very likely that Hannah's too conspicuous heterochromatic pike was brought back to the nest."
If the Barracuda is still alive, you can ask what happened to it, but if the Barracuda is eaten by the electric petrel, the truth will probably be completely buried!
Thinking of this, Lulina looked at the cliff in the distance and immediately plunged into the water!
The Suifune Gym's competition uniform is essentially a swimsuit, and she can enter the water directly without changing.
But it would be too difficult to swim from this distance to the bottom of the cliff.
Just as everyone was thinking this, they saw her riding a violent turtle to the surface of the water and riding the waves towards the cliff hundreds of meters away at an astonishing speed!
A turtle can swim faster than a dragon?
Arthur, who was in the elf ball, couldn't help but be eager to fight with the opponent.
It's just that it seems a bit inappropriate to say this in this case.
After a while, the ambulance arrived in a hurry and took the unconscious Hannah to the hospital.
Lance and Qiao wanted to follow each other there, but they remembered their suspicions just now, so neither of them left the scene and kept watching Lurina approaching the cliff.
Finally, Lurina, who arrived at the cliff on the Devouring Turtle, released her big-billed gull and flew up the cliff to look for the different-colored spiny barracuda near the electric sea bird's nest.
Not long after, he actually found it in the nest of a giant electric petrel.
However, Hannah's impression was that it was just a heterochromatic barracuda, but what was picked up by the big-billed gull was its evolved form - the heterochromatic bucket barracuda.
※Try the new features.
By the way, the long-winged gull is just in the diet of this elf.
This moment is just like that moment...
Everyone present looked surprised when they saw the bucket-pointed shuttle brought back by Lulina.
It was covered with burn marks and fell into a coma like its trainer.
I am afraid that he evolved during the battle with the murderer, but was still defeated and lost his fighting ability.
There were burn marks on both the bucket and the trainer.
Considering that the electric petrels in that area of the sea do not have much ability, and the large electric petrels are not good at diving due to too little oil in their feathers.
Could it be that a murderer really attacked them?
When they thought of this possibility, the three of them were full of fear.
"You seem to be a little embarrassed, so how about letting me, an outsider, tell you my reasoning?"
Seeing that Qiao, Lance and Lulina were all a little suspicious of others, but never spoke.
Zhou You had to speak out his own thoughts first to start the discussion: "I think the murderer is among you."
"First of all, as a certified scuba diver, the presence of a diving partner is necessary.
"Since the four of you are traveling together as companions of the club, Hannah theoretically has no need to dive alone.
"In other words, at the time of the incident, she must have had a trustworthy companion by her side, and that person should be one of you."
"Reasonable inference." Qiao, who has a crush on Hannah, nodded, "If it were me, I would also find three other people as diving partners."
Considering this level, it is easy to conclude that the person who backstabbed Hannah was the diving partner she found.
In that case...
"Then let's see who has a Pokémon that can use fire or electric moves?"
Zhou You gave a simple and rough conclusion: "The power of the electric petrel is not enough to make humans dizzy, and the probability of electric fish appearing in shallow waters is also very low. Whoever has a corresponding Pokémon is the most suspicious."
Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other.
The problem is that none of the three of them has a Pokémon that can use electric moves.
