Chapter 159 Provocation
Chapter 159 Provocation
"Excuse me, are you a Special Investigator?"
Just as Lu An was deep in thought, Officer Jenny, along with her Growlithe and a group of police officers, bypassed the large crevice and arrived in front of Lu An.
Since it was the official police asking questions, Lu An naturally had no reason to be perfunctory.
He nodded, took out the identification document that Shirai had given him after returning to headquarters, which he had kept in his pocket, and handed it to Jun:
"Special Investigator of the Kanto Region, Lu An, this is my partner, Swamp Monster."
"Ratchet."
Swampert smiled at Growlithe, which immediately provoked Growlithe into a rage, leaving Swampert looking completely bewildered.
Officer Jenny took the wad of paper. Compared to Long Ze's investigator's badge, it was practically worthless. She even wondered if anyone would dare to be so casual with a forged badge.
"Special Investigator, sir."
Officer Jenny saluted, then glanced around at the "horrific" scene and swallowed hard.
"Did you deal with all these Gyarados by yourself?"
Lu An shook his head.
Officer Jenny breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, such a scene couldn't possibly have been caused by just one person, could it?
Lu An patted the Swampert beside him, which was still teasing Growlithe:
"I took care of all those Gyarados with my Swampert."
Officer Jenny, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was speechless after being taken aback by Lu An's words.
Long Ze looked at Jun Sha with a sense of sympathy. He had just been tricked like that by his own special agent, but seeing others being tricked didn't make him feel so bad. He even felt like laughing a little.
After Lu An proved his identity to Officer Jenny, he didn't exchange many pleasantries, but instead looked at the group of Gyarados lying across the shore:
"You've come at the right time. I'll leave this to you. When you take these 13 Gyarados back, please check their vital signs, especially their brains for any abnormalities, and then send a copy of the data to the investigators."
Officer Jenny saluted Lu An again.
Although Lu An is exceptionally young and does not belong to the same department as Officer Jenny.
However, the world always holds Pokémon trainers in high esteem, especially a powerful figure like Lu An who can single-handedly subdue multiple Gyarados.
......
While Officer Jenny led the others to clean up the mess caused by the 13 Gyarados, Lu An tossed a Poké Ball, signaling Long Ze to follow him.
"Special Grade, what's the matter that you called me for?"
Lu An stopped tossing the Poké Ball with his left hand and nodded:
"I need you to make your fire-breathing dragon fly into the sky again now."
Without saying a word, Longze took out his Charizard.
Lu An was very satisfied with Long Ze's efficiency:
"After you and your fire-breathing dragon take off, check your surroundings for any suspicious individuals or special environments where you can hide."
Seeing the serious expressions on Lu Ante's face, Long Ze did not say a word. He gave one of the investigators' communication microphones to Lu Ante and then took off and began to circle in the air.
However, after circling for a full half hour, Long Ze, who had been observing the surroundings from the air under Lu An's command, failed to detect anything unusual.
Seeing this, Lu An allowed Long Ze to return to the ground.
Lu An stroked his chin.
It seems that even if the simultaneous evolution of Magikarp was intentional, a simple patrol wouldn't be enough to find them.
It is necessary to have Adu send someone to Yuanshan Lake to conduct a thorough inspection.
Lu An took out his phone, quickly sent a message, and then clapped his hands:
"Alright, Miss Officer Jenny and the others are handling the cleanup here. I've already explained our situation to Adu, so we're not needed here for the time being."
After saying that, Lu An asked Long Ze to take him to find the fishing crowd who had left early after Magikarp evolved.
When Lu An arrived at the long cordon set up by Jun Sha and the others, he heard a noisy commotion.
Wow, looks like it's quite lively?
In front of a few scattered police officers, Lu An deftly used his long legs to cross the police line and walk towards the crowd on the outside.
Long Ze waved his ID at the police officers and followed closely behind Lu An.
"Didn't you say you had already conducted a safety check on Yuanshan Lake before the competition? How do you explain these Gyarados that have appeared now?"
"That's right, that's right! There were more than a dozen Gyarados! If someone hadn't kindly stepped in to stop them, we probably wouldn't even know how we died!"
"Officials, how could you do this to us?! Damn it!"
Looking at the crowd shouting in front of the organization's officials, Lu An touched his nose, not caring much.
After each incident, there would always be a group of people chasing after him demanding compensation. Anyway, these matters were not within Lu An's jurisdiction, so he couldn't be bothered to care.
He is looking for Gosuke and Imai.
"Ratchet."
The Swamp Monster tugged at Lu An's sleeve.
Sensing the Swampert's deliberately restrained power, Lu An looked in the direction the Swampert was pointing and saw that Gosuke and Imai were surrounded by a group of people, talking with unfriendly expressions.
"Uh, no way..."
Lu An scratched his head and stepped forward.
"If it weren't for the carp you caught, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state."
"Those dozen or so Gyarados were all summoned by your Magikarp after it evolved. How are you going to take responsibility for that?"
Even when surrounded by seven or eight people, Gangjie did not back down. His eyes were red.
"F*** you! I just fished it up and handed it to the referee to weigh it. There was no extra movement in between. If you guys hadn't mocked Magikarp, how could it have suddenly evolved at that moment?"
"I'm not in the mood to argue with you guys about this nonsense right now. One of my fishing buddies has gone missing and is still missing. Don't bother me!"
As he spoke, Gosuke pushed aside the two people blocking his way and tried to leave with Imai.
But the crowd around him shouted and surrounded him again, demanding an explanation from him.
"Gosuke, Imai."
Just as he was getting angry, a greeting made him raise his furrowed brows:
"Anzai!"
Imai, who had been shielding Gosuke behind him with a worried expression, was overjoyed to see Lu An.
"Lu An, are you alright!"
Lu An brought the Swamp Monster to the two of them and laughed:
"Of course! After Magikarp evolved, everyone was running around and scattered us. It took me a while to find you all."
Just as Lu An was about to take another step forward, his vision suddenly darkened as a tall, burly man blocked his way, glancing sideways and saying:
"I remember you. You're the guy who was fishing with this kid on the shore just now. You two are in cahoots!"
"It's good that all three of you are here. Let's discuss how you're going to compensate us for our emotional distress and the cost of our fishing gear!"
As he spoke, he brought his large, fan-shaped hand down towards Lu An's collar.
