after drawing the mouse priest i had a need to draw basil, so i put him in zootopia, lol
i imagine bogo reluctantly calling basil's department for help after figuring out his own officers aren't going to be able to solve something. bogo doesn't like doing so because basil is kind of a cunt to work with and smokes too much :D

I didn't grow up with the older Disney movies. I've mostly saw ones like Aladdin, Lion King, Mulan, emperor's new groove, etc. The only old ones I remember watching were brave little toaster and I recently watched robin hood which I love. I'll probably go on an Old Disney movie binge sometime to see what I missed out in my childhood especially with all the praise I hear for them.
I always pondered about once Ratigan was gone Basil's cause in life would be lost. With no one of an equal intelligence to compete with he's grown embittered, and thus resorts to helping the police in order to show them up with his expertise...only he'll soon discover Judy is no Inspector Lestrade and could actually be a worthy pupil of his, if only he'd drop the ego and the sour attitude...
Damn I think I just hatched a fanfic idea! *runs to write it down*

(On the phone with Chief Bogo)
Bogo: Hello, is this Basil?
Basil: No this is Ratigan. Basil is currently hanging by his neck in the attic.
Bogo: ...I do hope you're joking about that Basil.
Basil: And I hope one day you won't ask if I'm joking when it's clearly me on the line. Bit of a redundant statement to make to ask if I'm joking and use my name when I'm playacting as someone else, no? I suppose you have an actual challenge for me this time Nogo?
Bogo: My name is Bogo.
Basil: Yes Nogo, because half the time those are the first two words out of your mouth, are they not?
Bogo: *sighs* Yes we have...a bit of an issue. We recently lost track of a rather important shipment of Nighthowler serum still floating around in the streets.
Basil: Dear, dear, you still haven't managed to clean that mess up? I could have told you it was Bellweather MONTHS ago!
Bogo: What the- then- but how did- WHY DID YOU NOT?!
Basil: Elementary, dear Chief Nogo, because it was far too obvious an answer. And because you never asked. I'm not one to simply hand out answers to people, and you should be aware of this by now.
Bogo: *sigh* Look...just...just come down to ZPD headquarters and help us track down this loose shipment. I wouldn't exactly be calling you if this wasn't desperate.
Basil: ...Well I don't have any other plans for the day and I could use a bit of mental exercise, light as it might be. Very well.
Bogo: You'll also be acting as a deputy officer for this one.
Basil: ...Which I'm supposing will also mean I have to wear that horrendous piece of attire you call a police outfit?
Bogo: You can't be to careful, especially with loose Nighthowler floating around.
Basil: Fair point. I certainly hope that whoever you have assigned to this case won't get lost too easily. I'd hate to leave your officers swaying in the wind Nogo.

(At the briefing room a little bit later)
Bogo: Hopps! This is Basil. He's...
Basil: I'm a private investigator currently signed on as a deputy officer for the purposes of locating the missing shipment of Nighthowler serum.
Bogo: ...going to be taking charge of this case, which he has apparently already done. Right then. HOPPS!
Judy: Yessir!
Bogo: You, and if necessary Wilde, are going to work with Basil to track this shipment down and, if possible, arrest any suspects with connections to the Bellweather/Nighthowler conspiracy that is attached to this case. Don't let your guard down, and take some suppression equipment with you when you go to pin down the shipment. There may be some savage animals out there.
Judy: Understood!
(Bogo leaves)
Basil: Right then, I need a map and any information you may have on this 'lost shipment'.
Judy: Right...
(A few moments and a lit cigarette later)
Basil: ...and so, from the warehouse, the shipment had to have gone in this direction...
Judy: ...because there were too many cops around and the only other safe avenue ran through a construction site.
Basil: Correct. Glad to see someone with there wits about them around here. Now from point A they most likely divided the shipment into two pieces because, due to the small size of the shipment and the nature of the operation, this was at most a two person job done without forethought.
Judy: And how did you reach that conclusion?
Basil: Quite simple, really. While we have no idea how long the shipment had been sitting in that warehouse before it was to be moved to a safer location, the lack of any casualties, the method of entry which was a rather sloppy and rushed break in, and the rather haphazard mess...
Judy: ...Means that whoever did this worked by themselves, knew what they were after without knowing where it was, did not have a lot of time to act and didn't have the tools to do such a job on hand at the time. And it couldn't have been one person because someone had to have distracted the officers at the break in point.
Basil: Well it is still feasible to do so as a 1 person job, however your theses are not far off. Furthermore the proof that it is more than one man is in the testimony of the officers on duty...
Judy: ...The one who heard a noise and, before he could investigate it, was punched by that sheep that he'd seen right before.
Basil: Correct again. The sheep likely lived in the area, which is the only way that they could have evaded the police by knowing the nooks and crannies of all the buildings around them. This means...
Judy: ...That it's possible they didn't go very far with their half of the serum, as they would rather hide out in a locale they are intimately familiar with to ensure their chances of not being discovered.
Basil: VERY good, Ms. Hopps. Now we cannot account for the other member of the group yes?
Judy: I'd presume so but it seems you have an idea.
Basil: More than an idea, my dear. Now if you look here, at this intersection, this is most likely where they decided to split the serum, for whatever reasons they may have had, and part ways. However, from here there is only one logical direction the perpetrator would take.
Judy: And that is?
Basil: Elementary, my dear officer. He would head this way, northward. Specifically, here, at this abandoned hospital. It was only very recently condemned, making it a highly unlikely place for anyone else to be. In addition, a hospital has a thousand and one places to hide or otherwise obfuscate you or articles you may be carrying with you, and being condemned makes it unlikely that anyone else would wander inside and find what has been squirreled away. Now our perpetrator would not want to stay in such a building him or herself, in case of any accidents. They'd hide the shipment, make a note of the location, and then escape back the way they came. Why?
Judy: I have no clue- wait...as an alibi?
Basil: Not quite. Lack of evidence. It can be proven they broke into the warehouse. It CANNOT be proven they stole anything if said stolen item cannot be found and ample testimony cannot be provided. Forced entry has a significantly shorter stint in jail than theft. And in addition they may attempt to create a situation of red tape through Double Jeopardy...
Judy: ...where you cannot be charged with the same crime twice. Wow.
Basil: I repeat. Elementary, Ms. Judy.
(I kind of wanted to write a bit of backstory for this picture. Kind of overdid it.
