A Scientific Urban Detective

Huangquanchuan Aiho's worries were not without reason. Although this wasn't the "illegal experiment" case that Lin Wuming was most concerned about, if the standards were relaxed, the underground arena was actually quite similar to "illegal experiments"—it all depended on how you understood it.

Judging from the conversation just now, Lin Wuming had indeed noticed this.

However, what was reassuring was that Lin Wuming tacitly remained silent, not taking the initiative to mention this matter, which could be regarded as expressing his attitude.

Otherwise, if it were Hubee Toumi who noticed the "underground arena," she might be more actively involved.

——After all, this girl looked like she loved to fight.

"Wuming," Hubee Toumi suddenly said after leaving the police station and arriving at their original destination—Dr. Sakurai's residence, "Just now..."

"What's wrong?" Lin Wuming put down the shopping bag, while looking around the layout of the house, and asked.

"The underground arena that Teacher Huangquanchuan mentioned just now..."

"So you noticed it too." Lin Wuming looked at the girl.

"Of course." Hubee Toumi glared at him, "It was so obvious, how could I not notice it."

"That's true." Lin Wuming nodded, but didn't intend to continue on this topic, and instead asked, "Where do we start? Is there a vacuum cleaner in the house?"

"Wuming!" Hubee Toumi reached out and grabbed his shoulder, "You...aren't you planning to do something?"

"Why do you ask?" Lin Wuming asked in surprise, then slightly reacted, "Eh? Do you think I should investigate the 'underground arena' incident?"

As a result, Hubee Toumi also looked surprised: "Wuming isn't interested? I thought..."

Lin Wuming smiled wryly: "Why should I be interested? Besides, that's not an illegal experiment case..."

Although the underground arena competition was very bloody and cruel, in the final analysis, most of the participants were attracted by the high prize money, which had a bit of a "voluntary" element in it.

Therefore, in Lin Wuming's view, they couldn't be considered completely "victims," so he naturally didn't need to make a special trip to save them...

But in the end, Lin Wuming just didn't want to meddle in other people's business, and it was still a very troublesome and thorny case. The amount of money involved alone was calculated in the hundreds of millions, which was really not something a "former hero" like himself could handle.

Most importantly, Lin Wuming's memory didn't have any relevant original information to refer to.

Without "prophetic predictions," he couldn't directly lock onto the culprit, and he couldn't just go straight to the point, like in the previous incidents, and quickly cut through the mess.

Not to mention the low efficiency, what was even more troublesome was that he couldn't tell who was the enemy and who was the good guy—among the many competitors participating in the arena, there might be those who were bought by the organizers and became accomplices.

Of course, there must also be victims who were forced to get involved among the competitors; and more were probably "neutral" participants who came purely to win the prize money...

He couldn't just kill them all in one breath like he did at the Black Moon Technology underground training ground, right?

Besides, they were all competitors who went to participate in indiscriminate death matches, so they must all be guys who were confident in their strength. If a fight really broke out with such a group of people, it was not certain who would live and who would die! Lin Wuming was not so confident that he thought he was invincible.

All of the above concerns were the reasons why Lin Wuming was unwilling to get involved in this incident.

...But these were all just excuses. In the end, he just didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Lin Wuming could be considered not forgetting his original intention, and still wanted to maintain his low-key and laid-back life.

Therefore, except for "illegal experiment cases" where he really couldn't stand it and had to take action to save people, he didn't plan to expand his "business scope."

"According to the information currently available, it can be judged that the underground arena is operated by a large-scale organization, and undoubtedly has considerable strength and influence—otherwise, it would be impossible to hide it from the security forces for so long without being discovered," Lin Wuming explained, "A target of this level is not something you and I can deal with. So, let's trust the security teachers."

Hubee Toumi didn't insist: "Since Wuming, you said so, then it's better not to care about it."

In fact, Hubee Toumi was not interested in things that had nothing to do with her. The reason why she was willing to be a "hero partner" and participate in various incidents with Lin Wuming in the past was also very simple—just to partner with Lin Wuming and accompany him in his actions.

Now that Lin Wuming himself had expressed no interest, Hubee Toumi naturally wouldn't meddle in other people's business.

Next, Lin Wuming gave Dr. Sakurai's house a thorough "whirlwind cleaning," while Hubee Toumi went into the kitchen to bake a cake.

It wasn't until night fell, after eating the cake, and cleaning the kitchen that Lin Wuming and Hubee Toumi locked the doors and windows and returned to Huangquanchuan Aiho's apartment at Family Side.

Because she needed to investigate the "underground arena" case, Huangquanchuan Aiho had to work overtime again tonight, and wouldn't be home for dinner, and might not even be able to eat supper at home.

After getting this news from the security teacher next door, Lin Wuming returned home and slumped on the sofa, not wanting to move anymore.

"It's really hard work, this security guard job." Lin Wuming began to wonder if becoming a security guard in the future was a suitable choice.

Hubee Toumi brought the two large bags of ingredients back to the kitchen, then also returned to the living room, and also helped Lin Wuming make a cup of tea.

"Thank you." Lin Wuming happily took the tea, then his ability to use Nen was about to move, and he was about to turn on the TV and connect the game console.

Seeing the game controller placed in the drawer moving out little by little, Hubee Toumi frowned: "Wuming, Huangquanchuan Aiho is not coming back for dinner today."

"Yeah, yeah, I heard it just now." Lin Wuming nodded repeatedly.

"So today's dinner doesn't have to wait for her." Hubee Toumi said almost explicitly, "So, it's already time to prepare it."

The girl looked at Lin Wuming, then turned to look in the direction of the kitchen, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Eh?" Lin Wuming had a surprised expression, "Didn't we already eat cake? A whole five! Such a big cake!"

While saying that, Lin Wuming gestured with his hand to show the size of a large bowl.

Honestly, Lin Wuming was surprised that the two of them could eat so much cake when they were at Dr. Sakurai's house before.

To the point that he didn't feel hungry at all at this time, and plus he learned that Huangquanchuan Aiho wouldn't be home for dinner, so Lin Wuming simply thought about skipping today's dinner altogether.

Unexpectedly, this girl Hubee Toumi was urging him to prepare dinner again.

"Cake?" Hubee Toumi also tilted her head and asked, "But that's dessert."

"Dessert and dinner are two different things." The girl's expression was very serious and solemn.

"You...can still eat?" Lin Wuming asked.

"Yes."

Seeing the girl's expression that didn't seem fake, Lin Wuming could only sigh in his heart—is this what girls often say, "dessert is stored in another stomach?"

He originally thought it was just a joke, but now it seemed that, at least on Hubee Toumi, it was a fact.

But thinking about Hubee Toumi's powerful fighting ability, eating so much didn't seem to be a problem.
