A Scientific Urban Detective

Of course, that's what she said, but in reality, it was hard to deny that Sha Danshan's violent actions had an element of venting her anger in them.

That's why she specifically used the 'ten thousand swords piercing the chest' method for interrogation, and used Shokuhou Misaki's "Mental Out" only to determine if Schelbing was lying.

Finally, feeling that the "preliminary work" was almost done, Sha Danshan began to ask questions.

The content of the inquiry was, of course, "the whereabouts of Wulin Yexiao."

Unfortunately, Shokuhou Misaki herself had already asked the same question not long ago, and had thoroughly searched Schelbing's memory through deep hypnosis.

As a result, she didn't obtain any valuable information.

Because his purpose had already been achieved, the Director Schelbing at the time no longer cared about Wulin Yexiao's life or death, and left all the "cleanup" work to his subordinates, so he didn't ask any further questions.

The only thing Schelbing could confirm was that he had indeed ordered the "disposal" of Wulin Yexiao.

This answer was certainly not going to satisfy Sha Danshan.

"Ah, is that all?" Sha Danshan sighed, then suddenly shouted loudly, "Senior Wuming, it's okay as long as you don't kill him, right?"

"No!!!" Before Lin Wuming could respond, Director Schelbing seemed to have foreseen his tragic future and screamed sharply.

"Shut up..." Sha Danshan waved her hand, "If you don't want to suffer, then quickly remember some valuable information for me."

--How is that possible.

Lin Wuming silently complained, even the Great Memory Restoration Technique couldn't create something from nothing and make someone recall information that didn't exist.

Shokuhou Misaki personally certified that Director Schelbing really didn't know...

"I... I remember!" Director Schelbing suddenly shouted.

Director Schelbing's fear of death was as strong as his desire for power.

Lin Wuming watched coldly, while preparing to stop Sha Danshan--Schelbing's random lies would definitely completely enrage this girl who was already acting like a madman, and if he didn't keep an eye on her, she would probably kill him directly, right?

"I didn't order the disposal of Wulin Yexiao back then!" As if grasping a life-saving straw, Director Schelbing shouted with elation, "I remember!"

Sha Danshan frowned: "Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."

"Someone wanted to take her away, Wulin Yexiao is an excellent experimental subject! He took her away, he gave me a reward... no, he reneged on the debt, my memory! He didn't pay the reward!" Schelbing shouted excitedly and incoherently.

"Who is he?" Lin Wuming couldn't help but ask, he inexplicably felt that Schelbing's condition was not right, and it had the feeling of a final madness before death.

"Kihara... he is Kihara... Gensei..."

Schelbing ultimately failed to say the complete name, and immediately blood spurted from his seven orifices, then his whole body collapsed on the chair, and he completely lost his breath.

Schelbing's sudden death also caught Sha Danshan somewhat off guard.

"This... I didn't kill him." Sha Danshan looked back at Lin Wuming, "But who was the Kihara he said at the end? There are so many Kiharas in this city..."

"Gensei... that old guy Kihara Gensei?" Lin Wuming pondered, in fact, he couldn't be sure either, but among the Kihara clan he had heard of, the only one with the character "Gensei" was Kihara Gensei.

It could be said that the old guy Kihara Gensei was Lin Wuming and the others' biggest and most troublesome opponent at present; if it was really that old guy, then using some method to make Schelbing's memory deceive Shokuhou Misaki's "Mental Out" was not entirely impossible.

"Kihara Gensei?" Catching this name, Sha Danshan immediately narrowed her eyes, "Okay, next, we'll start with him..."

Since the clues on Schelbing were now completely cut off, Sha Danshan wouldn't let go of even a name that Lin Wuming casually mentioned.

"Hey, Kihara Gensei is not..." Lin Wuming was about to remind her not to underestimate that old man.

But Sha Danshan was obviously unable to sit still, she threw down the bandage in her hand and ran out of the office without looking back.

"Wuming," Kofune Mitsu approached to check, "He's beyond saving. Also, Sha Danshan has escaped."

"I know." Lin Wuming nodded.

"The guard force is also arriving soon," Kofune Mitsu looked outside the door, "I hear footsteps."

"...I know."

In the next second, a team of fully armed heavy guard members rushed into the room, surrounding Lin Wuming and Kofune Mitsu.

"Wuming, this is..." Kofune Mitsu looked over with a blank expression.

"I know," Lin Wuming sighed, "I knew it would turn out like this... Oh well, I stayed behind to clean up this mess anyway."

Captain Haya squeezed in from outside the door: "We meet again, student Lin Wuming."

Although equipped with heavy armor, Captain Haya didn't wear a helmet or mask, and also put away his weapon, walking to Lin Wuming without any precautions.

"Speaking of which, who has my heavy suppression force arrested the most over the past year?"

"It's me, it's me, okay?" Lin Wuming joked with Captain Haya in a somewhat self-deprecating manner.

"Can't you calm down a bit for the sake of teacher Kamijou?" Captain Haya complained, "Or at least don't always cause such a big commotion!"

"I don't want to either." Lin Wuming sincerely said, "Captain, look, I've taken the initiative to stay here to cooperate with the investigation..."

"Stop with that act," Captain Haya rolled his eyes, "Wuming, you've become slippery too. Alright, we won't pursue those girls traveling with you—after all, the pressure from the Tokiwadai Group is quite high."

"Let me see what tricks you've pulled this time, to make our director..." Captain Haya walked over, "Dead?"

"Because of some accidents." Lin Wuming said with a serious face.

"..."

The guards present were all speechless for a while, but none of them were too surprised.

Before arriving at the scene, after learning that it was Lin Wuming who was "in action" again, the guards had already prepared themselves mentally.

Looking back on the past, whenever the "hero" Lin Wuming took action, which time didn't stir up a bloody storm, killing people left and right?

Now that the "target" was indeed dead, it could only be said to be in line with their expectations.

In fact, it was considered restrained this time to only kill people and not set fires.

The only thing that surprised the guards was the identity of the deceased this time—a long-standing, incumbent director!

It seemed that this was also the first unnatural death of a director in their memory.

But that was all, after more than a year of getting along, the guards had long been accustomed to Lin Wuming's actions.

Just like now, the biggest feeling in their hearts was only—Lin Wuming caught a big fish as soon as he "returned to the arena" this time!

However, based on the laws and rules of Academy City, after their feelings, the guard force still legally arrested Lin Wuming and Kofune Mitsu.
