Chapter 190: Poison-type Pokémon
Arriving at the location where the fruits were stored, Luo Mu pondered in his heart.
The pie will taste slightly sweeter. The peaches are not only juicy, but the flesh is also softer and not suitable for baking.
On the contrary, the orange fruit has a crisp and sweet taste, and the juice is not too much, which will not ruin the overall taste of the pie.
After making the decision, Luo Mu put down the vegetable basket he was carrying and reached out to the basket filled with oranges, intending to pick up the oranges that exuded a sweet smell.
At this moment, a row of large red characters appeared on his retina.
[Tip: The item the host is about to touch contains toxins, please stop the dangerous behavior immediately]
Luo Mu paused and his heart skipped a beat.
He shouldn't be dazzled, right? The system is telling him that there are toxins in the fruit of the tree?
Luo Mu frowned slightly. If it was true, then it would be a big problem.
"How's it going, Roentgen Cat?"
Luo Mu looked at the Roentgen cat that was sniffing every basket of crops carefully, and his voice was a little heavy.
"Meow."
The Roentgen cat shook his head and pointed his right paw at several isolated baskets of crops not far away.
The only crops it smelled with the same extra fragrance were those few baskets of fruit. Perhaps the guy who poisoned them had a limited reserve of venom and could only contaminate those few baskets of fruit.
"That's it."
Luo Mu suppressed his anger in his calm voice.
He really didn't expect that there would actually be a poisoning incident on the farm. It was almost identical to the incident on Jones Farm next door, except that one was to apply the poison directly on the crops being planted, while the other was to apply the poison directly on the crops that had already been harvested.
Regardless of who the poisoner is, Luo Mu is already furious at the fact that the other party is destroying the crops that the Pokémon on the farm have worked so hard to grow.
The monarch snake was also very angry. Logically speaking, Hualiao Huanhuan, Bai Pengpeng and Aoliniu were all his subordinates.
But the crops that his men had worked so hard to grow were destroyed overnight. The mere thought of this made the monarch snake's tail lash the ground like a long whip.
If its legs had not degenerated during evolution, the monarch snake would have stamped its feet in anger by now.
"Shh." (It's shameful to waste food.)
The dark flames burning in the eyes of the Blue Flame Blade Ghost fluctuated slightly due to its emotional changes. The Blue Flame Blade Ghost, who had been abandoned, had experienced a long period of hunger and satiety.
Perhaps because he had often been hungry in the past, Cang Yanren Guicai gradually became interested in cooking.
To it, wasting food is equivalent to trampling on its precious creed. Such a villain must never be let off!
The Blue Blade Ghost was determined that when he found the clue of the villain, he would strike with his heavy sword and teach him a lesson about the importance of food.
"Puff." "Huanhuan." "Oli."
Luo Mu heard several suppressed cries of sadness, and he looked towards the place where the sound came from. He saw Hualiao Huanhuan, Aoliniu and Bai Pengpeng hanging their heads, and they seemed to be in a very low mood, as if they could not accept that the crops they had worked so hard to grow were treated like this.
The same is true for the heavy mud horses, Hakrons and mosquito-repellent frog kings who came after hearing the news. They are responsible for the daily tillage, soil cultivation, sunlight and irrigation to pray for rain.
The crops are the result of everyone's joint efforts, and they must be very confused that they are being destroyed for no apparent reason.
Luo Mu took a deep breath and said to the Pokémon: "Anyway, let's notify Miss Junsha in Pingdie Town first. She may have suitable clues."
Luo Mu wanted to try to find the perpetrator. Of course, if the situation was not clear, he would not hesitate to use a system that did not belong to him.
Miss Junsha, who came to Luomu Farm without stopping with an inspection report, said seriously:
"That's right. The indicators of the poison applied to the fruit are consistent with those of the poison that poisoned several people at Jones's farm. The color is the same as the object applied, and it emits a sweet and fragrant smell. It can paralyze the poisoned person and make him unable to move, but it will not cause too much harm to the body. The characteristics are completely consistent."
"I think both cases were committed by the same poison-type Pokémon, but we still don't know what species it is or why it did such a thing."
Luo Mu nodded slightly, not surprised: "Is that so? I understand."
He could understand that if the case was handled so smoothly, there wouldn't be an evil organization in almost every region of the world.
However, Luo Mu was very concerned about several points mentioned by Miss Junsha.
The venom applied is the same color as the crop. Does this mean that the unknown poison-type Pokémon has the ability to change the color of the venom?
In this way, the scope of the object seems to be narrowed.
Miss Junsha was very grateful for Luo Mu's generosity and support, which allowed her to handle the case in ample time.
But Miss Junsha was also very distressed. There had been poisoning incidents in Pingdie Town in recent years, but they were only poisonings caused by battles, poisonings caused by mistake and accidental poisonings.
This was the first time she had encountered an incident of food poisoning with such a clear purpose. For some reason, her superiors had issued a strict order that the case must be solved as soon as possible, which put her under a lot of pressure.
The toxins of Poison-type Pokémon are affected by their growth environment, food, and various other factors. Although not every Poison-type Pokémon has a different toxin, there are many different types of toxins with different effects, so it is difficult to quickly lock onto the corresponding Poison-type Pokémon through the toxins.
Detection and analysis often take a long time, but handling a case requires every second counts. Every delay will reduce the possibility of solving the case and make it more difficult to find the hidden criminals.
Although Junsha received Luo Mu's report, she could only let him go back and wait for news.
After all, the perpetrator was very cunning, and even the professionally trained Caterpillar could not detect any clues through its sensitive sense of smell.
Miss Junsha tried to connect the intricate clues in her mind, but she was always missing something, which made her very frustrated.
At this time, Luo Mu's hesitant voice sounded: "Is the Pokémon Tubiaoke possible?"
Junsha's pupils shrank, and she nodded and shook her head: "We have also considered this possibility. These Pokémon can change the color of their venom through the food they eat, which is consistent with the clues."
"But in fact, Pokémon like the Painter are mostly found in places like Guoba Forest Road and Marked Forest. The ecology near Flat Disk Town is not what they like, which is why we didn't consider Pokémon of this species from the beginning."
"But this is also a direction that we are trying to explore in. After all, we cannot rule out the possibility that a single painter came to the vicinity of Pingdie Town due to other factors."
