A Scientific Urban Detective

"What a fruitful result!" Like a farmer during harvest season, Lin Wuming felt a strange sense of accomplishment watching the prisoners being hauled away in vehicle after vehicle.

It wasn't just him; in fact, the security forces and Anti-Skill members in other directions were also arresting many people.

Because the situation was urgent and didn't allow for too much consideration, these two major law enforcement agencies rarely displayed their true "strength."

At least in dealing with these troublemaking "street thugs," they were more than capable.

"Speaking of..." At this moment, a security guard teacher working with them to arrest the criminals wore a troubled expression. "With so many people arrested at once, do our prisons have that much space?"

His concern wasn't without merit. The security forces' prison space was limited because, given Academy City's situation, the number of adult criminals who could be imprisoned wouldn't be too high to begin with. Therefore, not many prisons had been built from the start.

Instead, there were facilities like "detention rooms" used to deal with students who had made mistakes.

However, "detention rooms" were usually scattered among various branches or even schools. In the current situation, it was obviously impossible to disperse valuable manpower to arrange for someone to guard each detention room...

"If it really doesn't work, find an empty warehouse to temporarily serve as a prison or detention center," Lin Wuming suggested. "Anyway, it won't take too long. After we find the time, we can naturally try them one by one."

Among those arrested on the spot today, many were caught up in the surrounding atmosphere and impulsively participated in the brawl.

Lock them up for a night to calm down, and they'll probably sober up. At that time, the security guards can give them a few warnings and have them sign a letter of repentance, and they can be released.

That's why Lin Wuming said it wasn't a big problem.

Lin Wuming had personally gone to the front line to arrest people, so he could naturally see that most of those involved in the fighting were ordinary blue-collar workers participating in the march.

They were probably fighting for the first time in their lives, and they didn't have any superpowers, so they were very weak.

It was purely the atmosphere, the blood was up, and it was a moment of impulse.

In comparison, the underage people mixed in the crowd posed a greater threat and caused more destruction.

Although these delinquent teenagers from armed ability-less groups were "armed ability-less," some occasionally had Level 1 or even Level 2 abilities. These abilities didn't directly cause much destruction, but they were better than anyone at creating and expanding chaos.

In addition, they were "professional" delinquents and were better at fighting than those blue-collar workers.

It wouldn't be so easy to let go of these guys who were trying to fish in troubled waters.

According to the headquarters' orders, these delinquent teenagers from armed ability-less groups would be sent directly to juvenile reformatories once captured!

Thus, the rare spectacle of police cars converging on the juvenile reformatory from all directions was seen next.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and special circumstances do require special responses.

Therefore, Lin Wuming didn't think there was anything too wrong with sending people directly to the juvenile reformatory.

However, Lin Wuming felt that the security guard who was in charge of the scene today, who was able to issue such an order so decisively, might be someone from the "Disciplinary Committee."

If it were Huangquanchuan Aiho and Tetsuou Tsuzuri, they probably wouldn't send people directly to the juvenile reformatory so readily when facing underage people, even if they were proven lawbreakers. At most, they would "educate" them with their fists and then put them in solitary confinement.

As for sending them to the juvenile reformatory, that would be implemented after the judgment result came out.

It was absolutely impossible to "execute first and report later."

...

Shadan Sando, wearing a security force's dark blue uniform, successfully blended into a police car.

As the leader of one of the three major factions, Shadan Sando had plenty of ways to obtain clothing props for disguise, and they were all genuine articles!

The dark blue clothing had an excellent camouflage effect in the night, and the slightly larger size perfectly concealed Shadan Sando's body curves, making her even more inconspicuous.

In addition, Shadan Sando's figure was already relatively tall, so if you didn't look at her face, there was no problem disguising her as an ordinary female security guard.

She didn't even need to use the prepared "Mental Stinger" to successfully achieve her goal.

It was also because it was too busy at this time tonight, and there were too many prisoners who needed to be transferred to the juvenile reformatory as soon as possible. The security guards with limited manpower wished they could split one person into two and were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. How could they have time to confirm the authenticity of the identities of the colleagues around them?

And Shadan Sando, as the leader of Tokiwadai Middle School's largest faction, had leadership skills despite spending the whole day in the infirmary.

At this time, she played her true colors and actually helped the security forces stabilize the situation, methodically escorting the prisoners onto the police cars in batches.

Although these prisoners who needed to be sent to the juvenile reformatory were still underage, they were the real culprits in tonight's large-scale riot, using the strike and march as a cover to take the opportunity to cause trouble, smashing, looting, and burning...

It was not wrong to send them to the juvenile reformatory on an expedited basis now.

Thanks to them, not only the security forces, but also the juvenile reformatory ushered in a peak of busyness tonight. All the staff had to get up and work overtime urgently.

The entire facility was brightly lit, the parking lot area was full of traffic, and people were surging. For a time, it was like a highway service station of a certain transportation hub, which was very lively.

For Shadan Sando, who was conducting a "sneak" operation, there was no more perfect time than this.

The juvenile reformatory was one of the places with the most concentrated AIM diffusion field jamming devices in the entire Academy City, and this parking lot responsible for transferring prisoners was the key target.

From the first moment she entered the juvenile reformatory, Shadan Sando felt that some kind of inexplicable "noise" had been lingering in her mind, making it impossible to concentrate on activating her superpowers.

It wasn't impossible to use her ability forcibly, but the success rate would be greatly reduced.

However, Shadan Sando had expected this, so she wasn't very nervous.

That's why tonight was the most perfect time. She had already successfully sneaked in relying only on conventional disguise methods.

Then, Shadan Sando took advantage of the chaos to leave the parking lot area and entered the juvenile reformatory's official park area behind the parking lot.

Because she was wearing the security force's uniform and there were indeed many security guards coming in here tonight, even if she was seen by the staff of the juvenile reformatory, they didn't say much, only thinking that it was a security guard passing by for work needs.

Shadan Sando patted the backpack she brought—it was filled with various "tokens" she had collected. As long as she took care of the AIM diffusion field jamming device here, she could do whatever she wanted.

"Although I can't use superpowers yet... it's so smooth that it's a bit disappointing."

Noticing that there was no one around, Shadan Sando suddenly quickened her pace, and the whole person was like a phantom, moving quickly with the help of the shadows of the buildings, and soon came to the back door of a building.

According to the information collected in the early stage, Shadan Sando knew that this was the administrative management center of the juvenile reformatory, that is, the office building where the staff were located.

There were no prisoner cells in this building, so except for a few important rooms, there were no AIM diffusion field jamming devices in other areas.
