A Scientific Urban Detective

The clues had run dry again, and Misaki Shokuhou glared at Director Sherbin with an unfriendly expression. If she didn't see how miserable he already was, she would have definitely cursed him as a "useless guy."

But she was also helpless. After all, "Mental Out" couldn't dig out information that others didn't even know.

"Okay, don't be angry. After all, it's someone who disappeared four years ago," Keisaku Misaka advised. "And speaking of which, why are you so concerned, Shokuhou-chan? Shouldn't that be Sadanzan's business?"

Misaki Shokuhou sneered, "Sadanzan~ Hmph, with her personality, if she's certain that Takehaya Yoshibi is really dead, she will definitely continue her revenge."

Sadanzan's revenge plan was too grand. She wanted to take revenge on Tokiwadai Middle School, even the entire Academy City!

Regardless of the reason for her 'revenge,' if it really came to that point, then it would inevitably make her an enemy of Misaki Shokuhou and the others.

"Takehaya Yoshibi's state of life or death determines how we should treat Sadanzan," Misaki Shokuhou explained.

If Takehaya Yoshibi was still alive, then naturally everyone would be happy, welcoming a happy ending.

But if it was confirmed that she was dead…

"Then I'll have to strike first and eliminate this unstable factor in advance~" Misaki Shokuhou played with the remote control.

Therefore, Misaki Shokuhou wanted to get the latest news one step ahead.

Kogane Tousu didn't think much of it: "Why make things so complicated? Since she might become an enemy, then just take her down first. Why are we the ones agonizing over it?"

"Hmm~ Kogane-san makes sense," Misaki Shokuhou nodded with a smile. "But that's not my style."

Misaki Shokuhou held the remote control and pointed to her head: "Precisely because I have such a powerful ability, I must do things more perfectly."

Kogane Tousu shrugged and didn't continue to argue. She was just casually expressing her thoughts, and she didn't care whether or not others would adopt them.

Mikoto Misaka nodded silently the whole time. Although she refused to admit it, she knew very well that she and her sisters were beneficiaries of Misaki Shokuhou's adherence to this style.

Now that she had to deal with other people's affairs, Mikoto Misaka naturally had no position to criticize.

"Right now… Sadanzan is probably starting to take action, right?" Misaki Shokuhou turned to look out the window.

"I'll handle things here," Lin Wuming said. "You guys continue to investigate Takehaya Yoshibi's whereabouts. At least get the definite results before Sadanzan does."

Lin Wuming, of course, completely agreed with Misaki Shokuhou's decision; even if Misaki Shokuhou hadn't taken the initiative to propose it, he would have made the same decision himself.

This was the right and just thing to do, and their side had the ability to do it well, so what reason was there not to do it?

In the end, Lin Wuming had always cared about his image in the hearts of these girls, especially Misaki Shokuhou.

This was not only to maintain his "hero" persona, but also because he didn't want Misaki Shokuhou to be disappointed and think he was a selfish and hypocritical person.

Misaki Shokuhou was a person of noble character, so to be her companion, one must also be a person of noble character.

—Even if it was just feigned nobility.

Misaki Shokuhou took a deep look at Lin Wuming, and then left with the other girls.

Kogane Tousu remained by his side, completely ignoring Misaki Shokuhou and the others.

Lin Wuming looked over: "Kogane…"

"I won't leave."

"I know, what I mean is," Lin Wuming nodded, and then pointed to Director Sherbin in front of him, "Do you have spare bandages? I want to help him deal with it first, so he doesn't die here."

Director Sherbin had been pierced through the body by Kogane Tousu's sword, and was nailed to the chair. His blood had already soaked through the bandages stuck to his body, and now it was flowing out along the bandages.

But in any case, this time Kogane Tousu did listen obediently and didn't directly kill him, leaving him alive. Since that was the case, Lin Wuming certainly didn't want himself and Kogane Tousu to be stained with this guy's life.

Kogane Tousu handed over a section of bandage that she had already cut off.

Lin Wuming bandaged Director Sherbin's wound, and also tied up his hands and feet.

Not letting him die and not letting him escape were not contradictory.

"So," Kogane Tousu had nothing to do and sat down at the table, somewhat bored. "Wuming, are we just waiting here for the security teachers to come over?"

"Yeah," Lin Wuming nodded. "Wait for the security forces to take over the scene."

After all, this time they had almost killed a director, which, in ancient times, could probably be compared to a major event like assassinating the king.

Therefore, this time they couldn't just walk away after finishing the job like they used to. Someone had to stay behind to clean up the mess.

In addition, this was also an important step in vying for public opinion.

That's why Lin Wuming stayed behind. His relationship with the security forces was the closest, and he also had the reputation of a "hero" to rely on. With him coming forward, he could persuade the security forces to the greatest extent…

Theoretically, that was how it was.

Or rather, Lin Wuming hoped that things would develop as he expected.

To be honest, Lin Wuming was also a little uneasy at this time. After all, the crime committed this time was too big, and even if the security forces were on his side, it might not be easy to clean up.

"Chairman, you said that even if we killed a director, it would only be a trivial matter…" Lin Wuming muttered.

"Hmph, we didn't do anything wrong, so what's there to worry about," Kogane Tousu said.

"Being not wrong doesn't mean 'correct'," Lin Wuming sighed. "Well, hopefully this is just my unfounded worry."

But unexpectedly, the first to arrive here was not the security forces.

But a girl wearing a Tokiwadai Middle School uniform. She had long black hair, a peony-shaped hairpin on her head, and wore asymmetrical glasses, with a teardrop-shaped protrusion under the left frame.

Seemingly to conceal her identity, she wore a white coat outside her uniform, and only took it off and threw it aside after entering the office.

After the white coat was removed, her outstanding figure could be seen, and with the black stockings under her uniform, she exuded a mature charm that far exceeded that of a "middle school girl."

Contrary to her temperament, the girl had a harmlessly sweet smile on her face, and a panda doll was held in her arms, inexplicably showing a bit of "cuteness."

Not at all like someone who had suddenly intruded here, the girl bowed calmly to Lin Wuming.

"Good day, Lin Wuming-senpai."

"Wuming, she is Sadanzan," Kogane Tousu introduced in Lin Wuming's ear.
