Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Xiao Meng, Xiao Shi, what happened?"

"Where's your dad?"

At this moment, Luo Wenjun also came to the door of the laboratory, holding the food he had just packed in his hand. Looking at Lin Shi and Su Qimeng who came out of the laboratory, he hurriedly asked.

Seeing Luo Wenjun, Su Qimeng immediately walked up to her, took her hand, and spoke anxiously, with tears in her eyes.

"Mom, Senior Brother Liu is dead, and we don't know where Dad is. Let's go find him."

"what?"

Luo Wenjun was startled when he heard this, and the bag in his hand slipped and fell to the ground.

"Professor Luo, don't worry. Captain Qin has already sent people to seal off the base and look for Professor Su."

The man who had just insured the injured guard member said to the two that he was also a member of the guard team. Lin Shi remembered that his name seemed to be Peng Pai.

At this moment, the injured team member had been taken away by medical staff, and Senior Brother Liu's side had also been blocked.

"What exactly is going on?"

Lin Shi walked forward and asked in a deep voice.

Peng Pai swallowed, his hands were still stained with blood.

"I don't know the details either. Just now, Jiajie suddenly contacted us using the communicator and said that someone was going to kidnap Professor Su Yu and kill someone, and asked us to chase him quickly."

"When we arrived at the scene, we found him lying in a pool of blood. Another archaeologist had already lost all signs of life. Upon seeing this, Captain Qin immediately arranged for all personnel to seal off the camp and search for him."

"Kidnapping?"

Lin Shi wondered if he had heard it wrong. They were now in a secret realm, and outside was an endless desert that stretched as far as the eye could see. How could someone be kidnapping someone here?

"The captain is back."

In the corridor in the distance, Qin Feiyun was walking towards this side with his guard team members, with a gloomy look on his face.

"Captain Qin, have you found Lao Su?"

Luo Wenjun walked towards Qin Yunfei immediately, his eyes full of anxiety.

Listening to Luo Wenjun's words, Qin Yunfei shook his head with a grim expression.

"I'm sorry, Professor Luo, we are a step too late. It seems that the other party has already taken Professor Su out of the camp."

"Why don't you chase after him?" Luo Wenjun asked quickly.

"Captain Qin, is it because of the beast tide?"

Before Qin Feiyun could speak, Lin Shi spoke first, saying that according to the time, the herd of desert beasts should be here soon.

"Tide of beasts? What tide of beasts?"

Luo Wenjun, who had been staying in the camp, obviously had no idea about the situation outside.

Qin Yunfei gritted his teeth.

"For some unknown reason, all the elves in the desert have escaped from the desert. Now our camp is completely surrounded and there is no way out."

"what?"

"So, aren't we trapped here to death?"

"No, I don't want to feed the elves..."

Qin Yunfei's words frightened the staff around him, and they discussed the matter in low voices.

"Be quiet!" Luo Wenjun's words were full of seriousness.

"Captain Qin, what should we do now? We have to find a way to rescue Lao Su."

"This……"

Qin Yunfei was a little speechless. He didn't have any solution for the moment in this situation. Apart from the troublesome beasts outside, they were completely unaware of the identity of the people who kidnapped Professor Su. They wanted to investigate whether there were any clues.

"Professor Luo, please don't worry. The most important thing now is to get you out of the secret realm. It's too dangerous here. Those elves may rush in at any time."

"Leave? Impossible!"

"Old Su's whereabouts are unknown. I can't leave him now."

Luo Wenjun refused without thinking.

"Professor Luo, it's useless for you to stay here now. We don't have any clues..." Qin Yunfei advised anxiously.

"Captain Qin."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Shi, who looked at him in confusion.

At this moment, Lin Shi was half-squatting in front of Senior Brother Liu's body. After he finished speaking, he stood up with a somewhat cold voice.

"You want a clue, don't you? Maybe I can give it to you."

It seemed like this was the first time Qin Yunfei saw Lin Shi with this expression.

"Lin Shi, what do you mean?"

"follow me."

After saying that, Lin Shi left the corridor and walked towards the stairs without looking back.

Qin Yunfei and his companions immediately followed.

Lin Shi came to the second floor, walked straight along the corridor, and finally stopped in front of a room. There were voices coming from the room.

Lin Shi reached out and gently pushed the door open. A strong smell of alcohol hit him in the face. This was the camp's infirmary.

The team member who was just injured is receiving treatment here. His injury is not very serious. He was just stabbed in the shoulder and lost a lot of blood. He is weak, but not in danger of life.

"Captain...Captain, why are you here?"

The injured team member ignored Lin Shi who entered the house first, and instead looked at Qin Yunfei who came in later and said.

"Are you okay, kid?" Qin Yunfei walked up and looked at his shoulder.

"It's okay, thank you for your concern, Captain..."

Lin Shi observed the situation around him, and when he saw the team members' Poké Balls on the table, he felt relieved and walked towards the bed.

"Lin Shi, why did you bring us here? Didn't you say you had a clue?" Qin Yunfei was confused by Lin Shi.

"Isn't this the clue?"

Lin Shi pointed at the injured team member lying on the bed and said.

"You...what do you mean?"

Obviously, he was a little angry after hearing what Lin Shi said.

"Don't get me wrong, can you tell me again what happened in the laboratory?" Lin Shi said, staring at him intently.

"Ahem..." The team member turned his head away, not daring to look into Lin Shi's eyes, and spoke in a tight voice.

"I... I was on my daily patrol. When I was near the laboratory, I suddenly heard the exclamation of the archaeologist."

"I ran over immediately, but unfortunately I was a step too late. When I arrived, I saw that he had already fallen in a pool of blood. Then someone came out of the laboratory carrying the unconscious Dr. Su Yu."

"I immediately rushed over to rescue him, but I didn't expect that the other party had an accomplice who suddenly stabbed me when I was not prepared. Maybe he thought he had stabbed a vital part and left, saving my life."

The team members were a little hesitant at first, but later they spoke more and more fluently, and soon presented the entire story to everyone.

"Is that right?"

Lin Shi nodded and continued without any expression.

"Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Since you said that the other party came out of the laboratory after Senior Brother Liu was stabbed, but we just saw that there was already a layer of Senior Brother Liu's blood on the ground at the door, why is there no footprint on it?"

"Or... maybe, the other party doesn't want you to know his whereabouts, so he deliberately avoided you."

The team member swallowed and answered calmly.

"Yeah, that makes sense."

"Second question, I just observed that Senior Brother Liu's wound was also a knife wound, but there was no murder weapon. I remember that your wound should have been stabbed by a dagger."

As Lin Shi spoke, he used toilet paper to pick up the blood-stained dagger on the table. The bloodstains on it had already solidified.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the same sword that stabbed Senior Brother Liu to death. What do you think?"

"I don't know, but... maybe."

"What a frugal killer." Lin Shi said with a sneer.

"Lin Shi, what do you want to say..."

Qin Yunfei was completely confused by Lin Shi and had no idea what Lin Shi was going to do.

"Don't worry, Captain Qin, I have one last thing to do."

Lin Shi waved his hand, interrupted Qin Yunfei, took out his mobile phone, found a picture, and placed it in front of the injured team member.

"One last question, do you know what this word is?"
