A Scientific Urban Detective

The scene of the “street murder” was unusually tense, the atmosphere so sinister it was on the verge of erupting!

Guards and Disciplinary Committee members rushing in from the surrounding area had practically sealed off the entire zone. At the center of the encirclement was a pale white figure—Accelerator!

Though alone, and surrounded, the feeling was more that Accelerator was threatening everyone else.

Wary of the “Number One”'s fearsome reputation, the enforcers didn't dare to act rashly for the moment.

But Accelerator, surrounded, grew increasingly agitated, the aura emanating from him becoming ever more ominous…

This wasn't just a figure of speech, but a reality. With Accelerator at the core, the air currents were becoming increasingly bizarre and dangerous, like the eye of a typhoon about to unleash a storm.

The strongest esper's patience could run out at any moment, and then… carnage would ensue!

The security teachers who first arrived on the scene were secretly lamenting their misfortune. They hadn't expected things to escalate to this point.

Now they were stuck between a rock and a hard place!

As for the cause and the truth of the matter, those were no longer important…

Just then, Lin Wuming and Mifune Awaki descended from the sky.

Such a high-profile entrance nearly triggered a battle between the two sides on the spot!

But Lin Wuming didn't give them the chance, using his psychic ability to create a sound amplification structure and shouting loudly—

“Stop!!!!”

“Do you want to start a war in the streets?” Lin Wuming didn't care about anything else, directly blasting the enforcers, “I heard there was a street fight, are you telling me it's our Disciplinary Committee and security teachers?”

It wasn't Lin Wuming's fault for siding with Accelerator; he was forced by the situation.

Lin Wuming had seen it while still in the air—Accelerator was about to lose it! So the top priority was to stabilize this strongest esper.

Otherwise, in the worst-case scenario, the Disciplinary Committee members and security forces present would likely suffer heavy casualties!

Sure enough, Lin Wuming's clear stance stunned both sides present.

Leaving aside the security forces and Disciplinary Committee members, at least the murderous aura on Accelerator's body did dissipate.

Sensing the tense atmosphere easing, Lin Wuming finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Accelerator.

“Lin Wuming, you…” Accelerator felt he had finally found someone on “his side” and was about to say hello.

“Accelerator,” Lin Wuming rubbed his temples, asking wearily, “I heard you killed someone?”

“So, even you, Lin Wuming, think that I, this lord, killed that guy?”

A whirlwind suddenly rose behind Accelerator.

Although his expression remained unchanged, the feeling he gave off seemed even more dangerous than before!

Lin Wuming kept a straight face, staring into the other's eyes, then nodded: “Okay, I understand, you're innocent.”

Then, Lin Wuming forced himself to ignore the sense of crisis coming from all over his body, pretending not to know the danger, and turned around defenselessly, leaving his back to Accelerator.

“Where's the unfortunate guy?” Lin Wuming asked loudly, “Has an autopsy been performed on him? Are there surveillance cameras near the scene? Let's see what exactly happened at the time!”

“Y-yes, that's right.” The Disciplinary Committee members present immediately reacted and actively responded to Lin Wuming's orders.

Then, Lin Wuming found the security teacher who had called for reinforcements: “Teacher, it's against the rules to accuse innocent citizens without obtaining solid evidence.”

“Huh?” Faced with criticism and lectures from a student, the security teacher was taken aback but not angry. Instead, he earnestly accepted it, “What you said makes sense, but…”

“But what?” Lin Wuming was a little curious.

“I remember now, we also came after receiving an emergency call. At the time… the victim's companion directly accused Accelerator!” the security teacher recalled.

Because there was indeed a body lying on the scene, and realizing that this was a major case involving human life, the security teacher's measures were understandable—first, control the scene and detain all personnel related to the case to cooperate with the investigation…

And Accelerator was “infamous,” coupled with his lack of active cooperation with the security forces' investigation, it was not surprising that he was suspected. Who knew this guy had such a violent temper, looking like he was about to start a fight at the slightest disagreement, which only made him seem more suspicious.

Seeing that the security forces were also willing to cooperate with him, Lin Wuming was even more relieved, and then he had the energy to pay attention to other things.

For example, the corpse of that unfortunate victim…

Because the scene was chaotic before, no one had paid attention to the deceased—after confirming that he was completely dead and there was no possibility of saving him, the security forces' main attention was focused on Accelerator.

Therefore, this unlucky guy was still lying in the same spot, and no one had disturbed the scene for the time being.

Lin Wuming only glanced at him and felt that he hadn't died at the hands of Accelerator.

Because the deceased was very “clean”—his body was intact, there were no signs of fractures or twists in his hands and feet, and there wasn't a trace of blood on his body.

If one didn't look at his slightly distorted face, probably due to pain, this deceased could be considered the type who “passed away peacefully.”

Call it Lin Wuming's prejudice if you will, but he didn't think that a guy personally killed by Accelerator would look so peaceful.

The case is solved. The person really wasn't killed by Accelerator!

Lin Wuming felt relieved, thinking that his plan was completely fine and was still proceeding as expected.

Turning to look at Accelerator, noticing the armband he was wearing on his left arm, Lin Wuming was even more satisfied, smiling and nodding.

“What are you smiling about, you bastard!” Accelerator walked over, his eyes narrowed.

However, the terrifying aura around him had disappeared at this time.

Accelerator was grateful—Lin Wuming was indeed on his side, and the only one on his side.

From the moment he appeared, he had clearly taken a stand on this side…

So Accelerator was grateful, so he…

“What are you gloating about!”

He stepped forward, threw a punch, and hit Lin Wuming's cheek.

“?”

Lin Wuming couldn't understand, but he didn't have time to think about these messy things.

At this moment, he only felt surprised and astonished—he was actually fine! Except for a slight pain in his face… but after all, he had been punched, so this feedback was normal.

Because Accelerator didn't use his esper ability, but just used his own right hand, his own strength, to throw this punch.

To be honest, it was much lighter than Lin Wuming had expected; if this was Accelerator's full strength… then his physical fitness wasn't much stronger than Shokuhou Misaki's.

“You bastard!” Seeming to sense Lin Wuming's malice, Accelerator's eyes narrowed, and he directly activated “Vector Transformation.”

So Lin Wuming flew out.
