A Scientific Urban Detective

Under the manually operated "updraft" effect, the flower-crowned girl's skirt fluttered...

"Kya!!!" Immediately following, her scream was heard.

"What are you doing! Why do you always do this to me!" Kazari Uiharu was on the verge of tears, holding down her skirt while hitting her friend's head with small fists.

"It's such a cute style today, I saw something good~" Even though she was also a cute and beautiful girl, Ruiko Saten was acting like a terrible pervert at this moment.

If she were a different gender, she would probably immediately attract the attention of the bucket-shaped robots or Judgment members patrolling the roadside, right?

"Ma ma~" Ruiko Saten stood up with a bright smile, as if the harassment just now had nothing to do with her. "It was just a little greeting, and Uiharu should be used to it by now, right?"

"I'll never get used to it, okay?" Kazari Uiharu hit her a few more times with her small fists, but quickly stopped.

Then she quickly composed herself, her expression returning to normal: "Good morning, Saten-san."

"Yeah, yeah, good morning, Uiharu-san." Ruiko Saten raised her hand and waved.

"Isn't she already used to it..." Wuming Lin couldn't help but complain as he witnessed this scene.

"Eh? It's Wuming-senpai!" Kazari Uiharu recognized him and quickly ran over to bow and greet him. "Good morning, Wuming-senpai!"

"Oh, oh! Good morning, Wuming-senpai!" Ruiko Saten also greeted him, but then her eyes lit up as she darted to Wuming Lin's side. "Wuming-senpai, I heard the latest rumor, the 'incident' yesterday, is it true?"

Should I say, as expected of Ruiko Saten? Wuming Lin wasn't surprised by her reaction at all, and even had a sense of relief that "Ruiko Saten should be like this."

"Saten-san, you also know that those are just 'rumors'." Wuming Lin said.

"Yeah, yeah," Ruiko Saten nodded repeatedly. "So is it true? Wuming-senpai, did you really kill that unscrupulous director?"

Because it was an urban legend-level rumor, without any pictures or video evidence, Ruiko Saten didn't have any particular feelings about the fact that "someone was killed," just like listening to a legendary story—"the hero kills the bad guy," which is a good thing, not a heavy topic.

"..." Wuming Lin thought for a while, and finally shook his head. "You should continue to treat it as an urban legend."

"But many urban legends are true." Ruiko Saten said relentlessly. "So, as expected..."

After all, Ruiko Saten herself had personally experienced and witnessed many "urban legends," so Wuming Lin's statement was almost equivalent to admitting it.

"Okay, Saten-san, don't cause trouble for Wuming-senpai!" Kazari Uiharu stepped forward in time to stop her friend, who was full of curiosity.

After saying goodbye to the two girls, Wuming Lin sighed heavily once again.

—This rumor seems to be even more exaggerated than expected, even receiving Ruiko Saten's endorsement.

Sure enough, after arriving at school, Wuming Lin saw the principal and a group of teachers collectively "welcoming" him at the gate.

Then, they immediately invited him to the principal's office to inquire about the "incident" that happened yesterday.

It wasn't until Wuming Lin repeatedly assured them that "rumors are just rumors, I didn't kill anyone myself" that the teachers were relieved.

Although the security forces also made a special explanation and clarification, after all, a "Director" had died; such a big figure was not something that an ordinary school like Sakugawa Middle School could provoke.

Therefore, it was only after Wuming Lin himself personally guaranteed it that the school finally felt relieved.

Looking at Wuming Lin, who was as calm as usual, slowly returning to the classroom in his wheelchair, the principal and all the faculty members suddenly had a feeling that "our small temple can't accommodate this great Buddha."

But then they thought again, regardless of whether that "Director" was killed by Wuming Lin or not, since Wuming Lin was able to handle it and it wouldn't involve the school... then it seems that accepting this great Buddha is a good thing!

"In short, from now on, we will act as if we don't know anything, neither promoting nor denying it." The principal instructed, "Also, no matter what Wuming Lin wants to do, this school will cooperate unconditionally."

—Anyway, calculating the time, Wuming Lin will graduate and leave next year. For the remaining period, our main goal is to serve this great Buddha well and earn enough influence for the school.

The principal calculated it very clearly. Even such a big thing as "killing a Director" could be settled, so probably nothing could bring down Wuming Lin in the future.

This isn't a student, it's clearly a thick thigh that won't fall!

Because of the school's almost meticulous care, Wuming Lin's daily study life returned to calm.

On the other side, Tokiwadai Middle School was in a tense and chaotic atmosphere.

Toumi Himegami noticed a certain sense of tension lingering in the air as soon as she entered the campus.

"Are the three major factions finally going to war?" Toumi Himegami muttered.

Of course, it definitely had nothing to do with the Shokuhou Faction.

After all, Toumi Himegami herself was the main fighting force of the Shokuhou Faction. If there was really going to be a war, then she would definitely be notified immediately.

Because she discovered that the matter had nothing to do with her, Toumi Himegami felt a little bored.

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

Arriving at the classroom and sitting in her seat, Toumi Himegami rested her chin on one hand and began to space out, but all kinds of news actively floated to her ears.

Even the noble girls' school where rich young ladies gathered could not escape the fate of liking gossip.

After listening for a while, Toumi Himegami finally understood what had happened.

—Misaki Shatai has disappeared.

The leader of the Shatai Faction, the "Empress of the Infirmary," Misaki Shatai, did not return all night last night and was not in the infirmary.

The members of the Shatai Faction searched everywhere, including the dormitory, the campus, and even the entire School Garden, but they did not find their leader, and her phone was also in a state of no answer.

Therefore, the entire Shatai Faction is now in chaos and panic.

As Misaki Shatai's confidante and strategist, Riri Utazume is a first-year student. Although she is very capable and loyal, she cannot win people's hearts and it is difficult to control everyone in the faction.

Therefore, this largest faction now has an ominous trend of about to go berserk.

As direct competitors, the other three factions have naturally become the primary suspects of the Shatai Faction members.

If the situation is not controlled, I am afraid that a faction melee will be launched, right?

"Misaki Shatai disappeared?" Toumi Himegami whispered to herself.

—If that's the case, then yesterday me and Wuming should be the last people to see her.

Looks like that guy had an accident while investigating Kihara Gensei?

Toumi Himegami suddenly got up and walked to another class.

—Sure enough, I should go find Misaki Shokuhou to inquire about information.
