Nick led Judy to a place called the Mystic Spring Oasis. The scent of incense wafted through the air inside the gates, and a yak named Yax sat in meditation. Flies buzzed around his unshowered body. "Oooooooohmmmmm," he chanted. The tone of the buzzing flies seemed to match the tone of his voice. "Oooooooohmmmmm."

Judy approached Yax. "Hello! My name is --"
查看中文翻译
"AH-CHOO!" he sneezed, and flies scattered everywhere before returning to their place, hovering around him. "Yep, Ol' Emmitt. Haven't seen him in a couple weeks. But hey, you should talk to his yoga instructor. I'd be happy to take you back." Yax nodded toward a different area of the club.

"Oh, you know, I'm gonna hit the pause button right there. We are all good on Bunny Scout Cookies," said Yax, who talked slowly, almost as if he wasn't quite there.

"I am Officer Hopps, ZPD. I am looking for a missing mammal, Emmitt Otterton" -- she showed him the picture -- "who may have frequented this establishment."
查看中文翻译
Yax looked at the photo and his eyes widened, as if he was about to say something important.
查看中文翻译
"Nanga's on the other side of the pleasure pool," offered Yax. "Right this way, folks."
查看中文翻译
"Thank you so much," said Judy. "That would be a big --" Yax came around from behind the counter, and Judy was unable to complete her sentence when she saw what he was -- or wasn't -- wearing. "You are naked!"
查看中文翻译
"Yeah, in Zootopia anyone can be anything…," said Nick, grinning, "and these guys, they be naked."
查看中文翻译
"Huh? Oh, for sure, we're a Naturalist Club," said Yax nonchalantly.
查看中文翻译
Judy's jaw dropped as she wondered what a pleasure pool was. When they got there, naked animals were sunning themselves, playing, and lounging around. Judy's eyes nearly popped out of her head at the sight. Nick leaned over to her. "Does this make you uncomfortable? Because there is no shame in calling it quits. We could end our deal right now."

Out in the courtyard, Judy tried to act normal. Her eyes darted around, looking for a neutral place to land.
查看中文翻译
"Yes, there is," she said. She was determined more than ever to stay on the case.
查看中文翻译
"Boy, that's the spirit," joked Nick.
查看中文翻译
"Yeah, some mammals say the naturalist life is weird," said Yax. "But you know what I say is weird? Clothes on animals! Here we go. As you can see, Nanga's an elephant, so she'll totally remember everything."
查看中文翻译
"No," Nanga said again.
查看中文翻译
"I have no memory of this beaver," Nanga stated.
查看中文翻译
But the elephant just shook her head. "Nope."
查看中文翻译
"Emmitt Otterton," Yax prompted. "Been coming to your yoga class for like six years."
查看中文翻译
"Yeah, he's an otter, actually," Judy corrected, looking over at Nick in dismay.
查看中文翻译
Nanga looked curiously at the newcomers.
查看中文翻译
"Yeah," Yax continued. "He was wearing a green cable-knit sweater-vest and a new pair of corduroy slacks. Oh, and a paisley tie, sweet Windsor knot, real tight. Remember that, Nanga?"
查看中文翻译
"He was here a couple Wednesdays ago. 'Member?" Yax prompted Nanga.
查看中文翻译
"Hey, Nanga, these dudes have some questions about Emmitt the otter," said Yax.
查看中文翻译
"Uh, ah, you didn't happen to catch the license plate number did you?" Judy asked.
查看中文翻译
"Who?" Nanga asked.
查看中文翻译
Judy couldn't believe her luck. Yax was a gold mine! She scrambled to write everything down.
查看中文翻译
"Gimme the pen, please," said Nick.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, for sure," Yax nodded. "It was 29THD03."
查看中文翻译
Judy's pen moved quickly. "--03. Wow. This is a lot of great info. Thank you."
查看中文翻译
Judy held out the pen, but as Nick went to reach for it, she realized something. She pulled it back before he could swipe it. "The plate… I can't run the plate… I'm not in the system yet." She put the pen back in her pocket and smiled at Nick.
查看中文翻译
"Rabbit, I did what you asked; you can't keep me on the hook forever," said Nick.
查看中文翻译
"What was it you said? 'Any moron can run a plate'? Gosh… if only there were a moron around who was up to the task…," she said.
查看中文翻译
Yax smiled. "Told ya Nanga had a mind like a steel trap. I wish I had a memory like an elephant."
查看中文翻译
Outside the club, in Sahara Square, Nick smiled smugly. "Well, I had a ball. You are welcome for the clue. And seeing as how any moron can run a plate, I'll take that pen and bid you adieu."
查看中文翻译
"No, not forever. I have"-- Judy paused as she checked her phone --"thirty-six hours left to solve this case. Can you run the plate or not?"
查看中文翻译
Nick stared at Judy, and then slowly grinned. "I just remembered, I have a pal at the DMV."
