Chapter 288: Cute Pokémon
Heath was stunned for a moment after hearing what Ms. Lori said, and then he remembered the girl in the Quartz Alliance, Karenya. The other party did make Heath her witness and created an alibi, leaving Junsha and others with no way to deal with Karenya.
"Well, yes. Although I vaguely remember that Karenya left at around two o'clock in the afternoon that day, I just glanced at my phone casually that day and don't have a very clear impression." Heath parked his food truck in a parking space on the side of the road and sighed.
It was the first time Heath experienced what it felt like to be cheated by someone. The little girl said it casually, and Heath filled it out naturally without even thinking about looking at his phone. As a result, he was cheated. But why did Ms. Lori know about this? You know, investigators are often not responsible for these small cases. Most of these small cases are handed over to Junsha and others.
"No wonder. But actually you don't have to blame yourself too much. I have heard from Ye that the fire scene and the surveillance footage prove that the girl was not there at all. That's why Junsha and the others have no way to deal with it. It might really be an accident." Ms. Lori smiled. No matter from what angle, the girl was innocent, and all the evidence proved this. However, Junsha and the others still noticed something unusual.
Originally, this girl had two insurance policies with relatively large amounts of insurance. The death of her adoptive parents earned her a large sum of compensation. The insurance company also initiated an investigation, but it was of no use. The girl seemed innocent.
Moreover, according to the investigation of the insurance company, the girl has a super large insurance policy, and the beneficiaries of the insurance are her adoptive parents. If the girl dies in an accident, the girl’s parents will receive a compensation that is enough for three generations to live a life of ease and comfort.
"Ms. Lori, would you like something to eat?" Heath asked Ms. Lori. Although there were not many edible ingredients in his dining car, there were still some. It was not a problem to make some simple meals, but there were some restrictions on the types of dishes.
"Well... just give me anything to eat." Ms. Lori glanced at Heath's food cart and smiled. Heath nodded. There were not many ingredients left in the kitchen, but it was still possible to make a basic pickled vegetable fried rice.
Heath also started pickling other pickles. Some unique dishes require these pickles, and the taste would always be a little worse without them.
Looking at the busy Heath, Ms. Loli sat on the table and chairs that Heath had moved out. Strictly speaking, Heath's stall was illegal, but the Junshas who were passing by just smiled and left after seeing Heath and Ms. Loli, with no intention of interfering. Anyway, with Ms. Loli here, it would not affect her even if she wanted to eat hot pot here.
"Hmm... this little guy..." Ms. Loli looked towards the bottom of the food cart, where a cute little guy was trembling under Gengar's pressure. Ms. Loli looked a little curious. This little guy should be Mimikyu, but Ms. Loli didn't know what the relationship between Mimikyu and Heath was.
"Ms. Lori, this is your pickled vegetable fried rice. Please enjoy." Heath came to Ms. Lori with a plate of hot and fragrant fried rice and put down a spoon.
Heath provides chopsticks and spoons for guests to use free of charge, but these chopsticks and spoons will be carefully cleaned by Heath until they are completely clean before they are given to guests to use, and they also need to be disinfected in a sterilizer.
"Heath, what's the situation with the Mimikyu under your car?" Ms. Lori asked curiously. Her Gengar was secretly observing Mimikyu, but Mimikyu seemed to have discovered Gengar and was trying to shrink itself even smaller.
"Ah, it's been following me since the Quartz League, and it seems that it wants to ask me to help find its trainer." Heath said calmly. Mimikyu is very small and soft, so after Heath found that Mimikyu didn't want to come out at all, he gave up the idea of letting Mimikyu come out.
"Looking for its trainer? Do you have a name?" Ms. Loli frowned. She hated people who abandoned Pokémon. If the Pokémon was stolen because they were targeted by Pokémon poaching groups, then that could be forgiven. However, if the trainer abandoned his own Pokémon, then that was a purely moral issue.
Looking at Ms. Loli's dark face, Heath knew what Ms. Loli was thinking, but this was also normal. After all, this was Ms. Loli. In addition to being an alliance investigator, Ms. Loli was also a senior member of the psychological counseling center for preventing Pokémon abandonment and adopting and caring for them after abandonment. So everyone in Evergreen City knew that if someone wanted to abandon a Pokémon and was discovered by Ms. Loli, then they should pray silently in their hearts for that unlucky guy, praying that he would be alive.
"I don't know who abandoned it, but Mimikyu is very shy. I've fed it many times in the Quartz Union, but it's still wary of me." Heath shrugged. If it was a stray cat, it would have come over to give him a rough time, but not Mimikyu. This little guy is still as timid as a mouse.
"This is normal. Pokémon like this that have been abandoned but still want to find their original trainer often develop a peculiar mentality and are afraid of being captured by others or released back into the wild." Ms. Lori's expression was still very bad. Pokémon are such cute and kind little creatures, smart, cute, naughty and willful, but as long as a Pokémon is captured by humans, it will basically develop a bond with its trainer.
Some naive Pokémon will develop a serious dependence on their trainers. They want to stick to their trainers every day and trust their trainers unconditionally. Even if they are abandoned, they will still be loyal to their trainers and always want to return to their trainers and be with them.
But even so, the Pokémon League still finds tens of thousands of abandoned Pokémon every year. Some of them simply have personality problems. These Pokémon with personality problems cannot trust humans and will hurt their trainers, so they are abandoned.
But more of them are due to boredom after a momentary impulse, and abandonment of Pokémon after they get sick because they don't want to bear the cost of treatment.
Ms. Lori sighed. She didn't have any better solution.
