I'm a Pokémon Master from School City (by mistake)

There was also an unfortunate store clerk in the bombing who, strictly speaking, wasn't the first victim.

But in this case, she is the very first victim!

What annoyed her most was that she had seen the person and knew that this person was going to do something bad, but because she thought that the person wouldn't cause any trouble for the time being and might not even be able to enter the schoolyard, she didn't pay any attention to it.

This one oversight made me the first victim!

That's truly devastating! Absolutely devastating!

Thinking back to both his past and present lives, it was he who chased the murderer across thousands of miles. He could blame the shop assistant for not cooperating, but this time he could only blame himself for being careless. He knew there was a problem, but he got pecked in the eye by the swallow because of his own fault.

"bother!"

Chiyo uttered those two words.

“Misaka-senpai.” Just then, a girl from Tokiwadai approached the door of the medical room. She looked a little timid and said, “The branch has already checked, there are no cameras at that intersection.”

Chiyo blushed immediately and wanted to greet him.

But in the end, she held back...

In this world, at least in Academy City, the density of surveillance cameras is nowhere near that of the previous life. Many shops don't have surveillance cameras installed, and even if they do, the owners don't maintain them often. Moreover, the disciplinary committee members don't have the authority to directly investigate those private surveillance cameras.

"Big Sister." Kuroko finally stopped laughing. Seeing that everyone was alright, she patted her chest and assured Chiyo, "Kuroko will definitely catch that prankster as soon as possible."

"You guys?" Chiyo asked, looking down and glancing sideways.

The efficiency of the disciplinary committee members.

Really.

Chiyo remembers this part of the plot because the case-solving in this part was really...

Solving cases with metaphysics!

The reason she remembered it was because it was too mystical!

This person had done it more than once, and yet there was absolutely no evidence! The entire Disciplinary Committee was full of scumbags, and in the end, the case was solved thanks to Mikoto's flash of inspiration during the investigation.

Of course, there was also the fact that there was a mirror when Saten was attacked. She was physically strong and managed to withstand the attack without immediately losing consciousness, thus seeing the real culprit.

If it weren't for these two points, Chiyo would have no doubts.

If disciplinary committee members can't even solve such a simple case, it can easily become an unsolved case, leaving generations of disciplinary committee members to ponder it.

"How did you investigate?" Chiyo asked, though she didn't believe it.

"Hmm." Kuroko answered confidently, "Have Hatsuharu investigate all those with invisibility abilities, and then question them one by one..."

"Asking them one by one..."

Chiyo was speechless; she really didn't want to say anything.

Because of the existence of the Imagine Breaker, there are discrepancies between the ability levels listed in the data. Checking based on this is simply...

never mind...

The Tokiwadai branch is probably in a similar predicament.

"Do you have a map?" Chiyo asked the girl directly.

"Huh? Yeah." The girl from Tokiwadai nodded.

Chiyo stood up, her face grim, and said, "Can I ask you to help me check the surveillance footage? I'll teach you how to solve cases quickly."

"By the way, Kuroko," Chiyo said, glancing at Kuroko. "There's no need to go through all that trouble asking everyone individually, but I do need your help with something."

"I need information on all those who can make themselves invisible, including those who can become invisible and reduce their presence."

"In short, don't limit yourself to any specific ability; we want anything that has this effect!"

Chapter Forty-Three: Following the Map

There weren't any particularly big cases or conspiracies for Chiyo here.

Because I've seen the plot.

Of course, aside from someone's plan, Chiyo didn't know what that person was planning.

The rest of the cases she knew about were things that seemed incredibly difficult to solve for so long.

Although for me now, my job is less about investigation and more about following a map.

Because we already know who committed the crime, as well as the method and motive.

Just follow this method to collect evidence.

The problem lies in the evidence.

Unlike that first arrow of the journey.

Kiyori Hatsushiro has a history of committing crimes, and this time it is extremely serious, so the disciplinary committee and the security forces must take it very seriously.

Previous cases all had existing evidence; the only thing missing was to arrest the perpetrators.

But this girl is different.

Chiyo had seen this girl at the gate before. If she were an experienced criminal, she wouldn't have hesitated. So this must have been her first time committing the crime. Besides, what she did seemed more like a prank by an acquaintance.

So now there are two questions.

First piece of evidence.

The second question is how to handle it.

Jielvchu is easy to deal with because this person is a real criminal who actually caused injury.

The girl mainly used a stun gun to knock people down, and then endured having her eyebrows drawn on her face.

If you say she went too far, using a stun gun could be considered malicious assault; if you say she didn't go too far, the victim really didn't suffer any loss except for having thick, unsightly eyebrows on their forehead.

It can be said that the situation is neither good enough nor bad, falling into a state of being neither fully satisfied nor fully satisfied with the civil procedure.

This is very tricky.

Chiyo, the researcher, was working on the map, her mind racing.

"This..." Mikoto asked curiously, "Chiyo, what can you figure out just by staring at the map?"

She was really curious about Chiyo's talents. Kuroko had told her that Chiyo could go from being bombed to being captured in less than a day.

Although the process of Chiyo's torture was omitted, they caught the person so quickly.

Although Mikoto wasn't interested in Detective Conan, she was curious about how Chiyo solved cases as quickly as Conan.

"The path," Chiyo said, looking at the map without looking up, "People can't appear out of thin air, nor can they disappear into thin air..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Kuroko, and thought, "Hmm, anything is possible in Academy City."

However, it still adheres to the basic rules.

"A person can only have one ability." Chiyo said, "Hmm..."

Chiyo was a little speechless. The abilities in Academy City were all kinds of strange and unusual, and some things couldn't be judged by common sense.

but...

"Never mind." Chiyo tapped the map and said, "It's actually very simple. First, the motive, second, the method, and third, the means of transportation. So I need to think about whether I've offended anyone. If I analyze it, I spend most of my time in the hospital, so I shouldn't have offended anyone. So, is this person committing the crime randomly, or is she targeting a specific group of people based on their clothing, appearance, or other characteristics?"

"Secondly, how did she commit the crime? Was her ability a direct tool for committing the crime, or a means to help her complete it?"

"Thirdly, how did she come to be with me, and how did she leave?"

Chiyo took out a Poké Ball and said, "Based on the above points, let's start to reverse the process of the crime. First, how did she commit the crime? My Poké Ball does not block Pokémon's perception of the outside world. Even if I don't feel it, they have a very sensitive intuition for danger and suspicious people."

"So this person's ability must have a way to bypass me and the Pokémon to attack. If it is to bypass perception, then her ability may be invisibility or concealment, so she cannot use her ability to move quickly."

"In conclusion, she must have come in, followed me, and then attacked me. As for her motive, my range of activities and the people I associate with are very narrow. It is possible that my personality may have accidentally angered someone at Tokiwadai and made them want to play a prank on me. But at this time, Tokiwadai had already let out for the day, and there were no Tokiwadai students around. I have also asked people with similar abilities, and they all have alibis."

"That's what the students from outside did. As for why I'm so sure..."

Chiyo drew a circle on her map, then circled the entrance to the schoolyard, saying, "See? I'm not far from the entrance. The walking time between the crime scene and the gate is no more than 20 minutes. If it was a random crime, then I should be the first victim. As the first perpetrator, the criminal should be very nervous at this time. Her actions would probably be to come over quickly, knock me unconscious, and then leave quickly. It's unlikely that she would linger there."

"Therefore, there should be someone who quickly enters the gate and then quickly leaves."

"Oh~" Mikoto felt that what Chiyo said was undeniable, but it didn't completely convince her either.

After a brief "oh," she asked, "How can Chiyo be sure that what you said is all correct?"

"How should I put it?" Chiyo shook her head with her arms crossed and said, "Actually, we can't be sure that what I said is correct. We can make assumptions based on the motive, method, and tools used in the crime. We can make many assumptions, and then eliminate them one by one through clues and evidence, leaving only the most likely correct assumption. Then, we continue to search for evidence and conduct interviews based on the situation that the assumption appears. If new evidence can support the assumption at this time, that's the best. If the new evidence overturns the previous assumption, we have to make a new assumption and repeat the process."

"As countless hypotheses are overturned by one piece of evidence, and then one piece of evidence builds up a new hypothesis, this process continues until finally one hypothesis that is closest to the truth and can form a complete logical chain with the evidence remains."

"Oh~" Mikoto scratched her head and said, "This feels so troublesome."

Watching Conan and the like doesn't seem so complicated; you can do it all by yourself.

“Yes.” Chiyo nodded and said, “Criminal investigation is actually very complicated. It’s the result of a whole team’s countless days and nights of meticulous searching for evidence at crime scenes, and the clues collected by countless rank-and-file officers through both overt and covert investigations. It’s not impossible that some people are particularly smart and can see things that ordinary people overlook.”

"But criminal investigation is definitely not something that one person can suddenly understand by shining a white light on someone."

"Eh?!"

Just then, Kuroko noticed that the camera at the gate was indeed recording a person.

A strange girl kept hesitating and acting suspiciously at the gate.

Only after Chiyo went inside did she seem to make up her mind and then go in herself.

The important thing is that she went in with Chiyo, not through normal channels.

Then, about 40 minutes later, he hurriedly left through the exit.

What surprised Hei Zi even more was that the security guards at the entrance and exit did not stop her!

Chapter Forty-Four Dishes

"Chongfu Shengfan, Ability: Visual Obstruction, Level 2".

Because there are special cameras at the gate, the footage was very clear, and the person's information was retrieved after comparison with the library.

Mikoto frowned as she read the description: "This ability directly hinders a person's perception of objects in their eyes. Originally, because the ability was only Level 2, it only meant that its presence was relatively weak. Only Level 2? It only reduces its presence?"

The data is different from reality. If it's just about reducing her presence, Chiyo couldn't possibly not notice her. Even if Chiyo has something on her mind, her Pokémon wouldn't be able to notice her.

However, the surveillance footage shows that she was very close to Chiyo without Chiyo noticing at all.

That's really hard to believe.

They're so close, they're practically touching.

Even the most oblivious person would notice it.

Why didn't Chiyo notice?

"That's incredible!"

Mikoto said incredulously, "Could it really be this person?"

That can’t be?

Kuroko suddenly tensed up, and looked at Chiyo cautiously, saying, "Um, Big Sister..."

Let's see if, if we get Jielv Chuyi to confess today, our eldest sister won't want to go through the same thing with this girl again, right?

"You're not mistaken, are you?" Mikoto asked doubtfully. "Well... if we follow your theory, there aren't that many pieces of evidence and clues... wouldn't you call this a case-solving stroke of genius?"

"No, that doesn't count." Chiyo rubbed her temples and said, "It's just that this person is incredibly stupid."

Another advantage is knowing the plot in advance.

Knowing the plot means knowing who the murderer is; seeing the person allows you to know her route. And it's safe to say that someone who doesn't even do any prior reconnaissance and just acts recklessly based on their abilities is utterly stupid.

This means you have some confidence in your abilities, but not too much.

Knowing his strengths but forgetting his weaknesses, this guy could easily bypass the area if he scouted it beforehand and paid attention to cameras.

result...

"Big Sister..." Kuroko advised, "Um... her ability is only LV2..."

Although her behavior cannot be explained, her current abilities are too limited to meet the criteria for being a suspect.

If someone entered here for some other reason and the boss arrested them.
