A Scientific Urban Detective

“I know some of the names on there; they all seem like big shots.” Looking at the list, Flanda said, “No wonder there isn’t more detailed information. It seems there are a lot of concerns at the top.”

“Hmph, I couldn’t care less about their concerns!” Mugino Shizuri said. “Flanda, pick out the people you recognize. We’re going to find them right now.”

She was clearly preparing to use simple and brutal hard tactics.

Thinking about the status and position of those big shots, Flanda clicked her tongue in amazement, but she didn't refuse.

Their dark side organization was originally used to do this kind of dirty work, so they didn't care who the target was.

Again, the list was provided by the voice on the phone, which meant they were allowed to take any measures against the people on the list.

“Okay, let’s set off immediately and grab them!” Mugino Shizuri ordered decisively.

“Huh? Is it already this late?” Flanda complained.

“Didn’t you hear the conversation just now? We’re racing against the Guard,” Mugino Shizuri said. “The reward is at least 10 billion yen.”

“I see. Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go now!” Flanda said, her spirits lifted.

—Come to think of it, this is the perfect “simple and easy to earn” mission she had been thinking about!

Thus, the dark side organization called “Item” began to operate like a huge machine…

The next morning, Lin Wuming and Komaba Tsumi left home at the usual time, preparing to go to the Judgment headquarters.

According to the plan agreed upon last night, before the official action tonight, they would first inform the chairman and agree on the relevant matters of cooperation.

At that time, Judgment would also arrange for people to respond outside. The two sides had to discuss an agenda and cooperate with each other.

“It feels a bit unenthusiastic to mobilize so many people.” Komaba Tsumi said.

In the previous incidents, she and Lin Wuming had always partnered up, and there were no other clear reinforcements in advance.

This time, suddenly having an entire huge organization as a backing made people a little unaccustomed to it.

“Isn’t this a good thing?” Lin Wuming said. “Everyone is relaxed, and the case can be solved smoothly.”

Although he said that, Lin Wuming also felt a little unsatisfied in his heart. In any case, the experience of “breaking into the enemy camp alone” was definitely more exciting than this time's coordinated acting…

Because there was plenty of time, Lin Wuming and Komaba Tsumi were not in a hurry to hurry, and they did not stage another “street racing wheelchair” scene.

Moreover, Lin Wuming didn’t make breakfast today, and the two decided to try the food in the breakfast shop outside.

“Speaking of which,” Lin Wuming said, “Teacher Kiyama hasn’t returned all night.”

“Yes, it seems that escaped prisoners are really difficult to deal with.” Komaba Tsumi seemed very touched. “And to be able to escape from the Guard, it’s really amazing.”

“Uh… Komaba, could it be that you also…” Lin Wuming asked.

“I haven’t been locked up,” Komaba Tsumi immediately guessed what Lin Wuming was thinking and said, “But I have a lot of experience as a person of interest, so I probably have some understanding of the defense level there.”

Although she didn’t say it, Lin Wuming felt that this girl must have planned the “escape” thing.

“However, those three SKILL OUT members… it’s not impossible to imagine.” Lin Wuming thought for a while and said.

Perhaps recalling the battle when they were captured, Komaba Tsumi also nodded, expressing her recognition of their strength.

But Lin Wuming knew that this had nothing to do with whether they could fight or not. The biggest reason for the trio's escape was probably Hattori Hanzō.

That was a highly skilled ninja. In terms of ninjutsu, he was much better than Chakin Charyō, who came from the Kōga ninja clan.

Moreover, because all three of them were level 0s with no abilities, the security measures for them were at the level of ordinary middle school students.

Under this premise, with Hattori Hanzō's ninjutsu, plus Hamaura Shiage, who was best at picking locks, it was really easy to sneak out of the cell without the Guard noticing.

“There are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the delinquent organizations, which should not be underestimated.” Lin Wuming sincerely sighed.

“I agree with that, Lin Wuming.” Someone suddenly chimed in from the side, echoing.

Lin Wuming and Komaba Tsumi turned their heads together and saw a tall and sturdy man walking beside them very naturally.

As if he had been a companion from the beginning.

“You are…” Komaba Tsumi frowned slightly. She couldn't quite remember the man's name, but she still had some impression, so she didn't draw her sword.

“Kurozuma Wataru—if I remember correctly.” On the other hand, Lin Wuming called out his name quite accurately.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

“That’s right, it’s me. I’m glad you remember me, Lin Wuming.” Kurozuma Wataru nodded with a smile.

Komaba Tsumi looked at Lin Wuming with a look of surprise. It was hard to imagine that Lin Wuming, who was never good at recognizing people, could remember the appearance and name of someone he had only met once!

“Cough, after all, people as strong as Kurozuma are relatively rare.” Lin Wuming explained.

What is called a tiger's back and a bear's waist probably refers to people like Kurozuma Wataru?

The leather jacket he was wearing was almost torn by muscles, but there was no sculpted feeling deliberately cultivated in the gym.

Lin Wuming's first impression was that he was "very good at fighting" and was the type who was very good at fighting.

It can be said that, apart from the adults in the Guard, Lin Wuming had only seen one person stronger than him since he crossed over.

That was the leader of SKILL OUT, Komaba Ritoku.

The characteristics were so obvious, and he was also a character with a name and surname in the original plot. It was not surprising that Lin Wuming could remember and recognize him.

“What a coincidence to meet here again.” Kurozuma Wataru said with a smile, “I heard just now that you haven’t had breakfast yet? I know a breakfast shop that is very delicious, why don’t I treat you!”

“Is it really a coincidence?” Lin Wuming complained unceremoniously, “Also, when did you start following us?”

Lin Wuming remembered that he and Komaba Tsumi were still discussing breakfast when they just walked out of the apartment building.

“Haha, as expected, you saw through it.” Kurozuma Wataru scratched his head, but he didn’t feel much embarrassment for being exposed. “Indeed, I came to find you—but, the apartment building is full of Guard teachers, so it’s really not easy to get close, so I had no choice but to resort to this…”

Controlling the wheelchair and walking forward for a while, Lin Wuming suddenly opened his mouth: “I remember, Kurozuma, you have recently been investigating the ‘underground arena.’”
