A Scientific Urban Detective

Although they weren't in the same class, Misaka Mikoto learned the news immediately.

The disappearance of Sadan Shae was definitely a major piece of news in Tokiwadai Middle School. In comparison, their surprise attack on Director Shelbin yesterday was now completely ignored.

——According to Senior Anonymous, after we left, Senior Sadan Shae also went to the Shelbin Building…

Misaka Mikoto pondered, pinching her chin.

"Misaka-san…" Kesaizai Yukari approached, pretending to be mysterious, and said, "Have you heard about the Shae faction?"

"Of course I've heard," Misaka Mikoto nodded, looking around. "Everyone's talking about it, so you don't have to be so careful."

"As expected…" Kesaizai Yukari sighed exaggeratedly. "There's no way to keep something like this a secret."

Then, Kesaizai Yukari asked casually, "By the way, Misaka-san, you guys seemed to have done something incredible yesterday?"

"Well, it's nothing," Misaka Mikoto waved her hand. "It was just a surprise inspection of a certain building, and then dealing with the owner there."

Misaka Mikoto glossed over it, skipping the truth that they had actually caused the death of a "Board Member."

"Was Misaka-san acting with that Hero-sama?" Kesaizai Yukari pressed. "Was Shokuhou-san also there? By the way, who else participated in the operation?"

"Hey," Misaka Mikoto glanced over. "Are you trying to gather information again?"

"Just satisfying my curiosity a little," Kesaizai Yukari said with a smile. "Anyway, it's already over, it's okay to reveal a little, right?"

"Yesterday, Senior Kazami and Dolly-san's stand-ins were really perfect. Even Director Shikura was fooled!" Kesaizai Yukari praised.

"I see," Misaka Mikoto nodded. She knew very well that Shikura Reiri, like herself, had a strong desire to win, and would definitely be unwilling to be tricked by Shokuhou Misaki's scheme yesterday.

So, Misaka Mikoto didn't hide anything and gave a general introduction to their actions yesterday. Of course, all the key details were omitted.

Kesaizai Yukari listened very carefully, and finally couldn't help but ask, "So, during your actions yesterday, did you encounter anyone else? I heard that Senior Shae seemed to have gone out to act yesterday as well."

In fact, Kesaizai Yukari was subtly trying to find out the whereabouts of her older sister, Sadan Shae.

As for the other topics, they were just excuses to bring up this topic.

You should know that in this world, probably no one is more worried about Sadan Shae than Kesaizai Yukari, not even that loyal Wulili-san.

But unfortunately, limited by her identity as a "spy," Kesaizai Yukari couldn't reveal her true feelings, so she had to use this method to indirectly inquire about information.

Kesaizai Yukari was with Sadan Shae for the first half of yesterday, so she knew best that her older sister was going to find Lin Anonymous and Misaka Mikoto.

Therefore, the most likely people to know the whereabouts of her older sister were undoubtedly them.

After hesitating for a moment, Misaka Mikoto decided to reveal a little information. She lowered her voice and said, "Actually, Senior Shae did go to that building."

"Eh? Really!" Kesaizai Yukari immediately became excited.

"Wait, wait," Misaka Mikoto quickly held her down. "Listen to me, at that time, Shokuhou and I had already left the building to investigate other things. So the ones who actually saw Senior Shae were Senior Anonymous and Houchou-san."

"Houchou-san…" Kesaizai Yukari showed a troubled expression. That girl was not easy to approach.

"Also, Senior Anonymous also told us that Senior Shae didn't stay for too long. She left soon after to investigate other things," Misaka Mikoto continued. "So they don't know where Senior Shae went in the end either."

"Eh! Why is that…" Kesaizai Yukari could no longer hide her feelings, revealing obvious disappointment.

"Eh~ Kesaizai is very concerned about Senior Shae," Misaka Mikoto said.

Of course, Misaka Mikoto just said it casually, out of feeling.

But the listener took it to heart, and Kesaizai Yukari suddenly realized and quickly explained, "Well, of course I'm concerned, after all, she's a classmate from our school. And now the atmosphere in the school is so tense, I'm really worried that a fight will suddenly break out."

"Well, that's true," Misaka Mikoto nodded, but then said, "But don't worry, there won't be a fight—Shokuhou that guy will take care of it."

Because their relationship had become very close, Misaka Mikoto now understood Shokuhou Misaki very well, and even knew about the "External 装代 Brain."

Therefore, Misaka Mikoto knew that as long as Shokuhou Misaki was willing, she could forcibly control everyone in this school at any time!

"Is… is that so…" Kesaizai Yukari nodded blankly—is this the confidence of a level 5?

Seeing that she couldn't get any valuable information from Misaka Mikoto, Kesaizai Yukari said goodbye and left, planning to inquire with Shikura Reiri again.

The disappearance of Sadan Shae had affected the other three major factions. Shikura Reiri and Mizukagami Nagisa had both stated that they would have their members help find her.

Although the factions were in competition, no matter what the consideration, they couldn't sit idly by at this time.

Shokuhou Misaki also issued an order to help find people.

But only Shokuhou's faction's kindness was rejected.

In the corridor at the main entrance of the teaching building, Wulili publicly rejected Shokuhou Misaki's goodwill and even directly questioned her, "Where did you hide Sadan-sama?"

Causing the members of the surrounding two factions to be nervous.

Due to her actions, the atmosphere suddenly became dangerous, and the Shokuhou faction and the Shae faction seemed likely to start a war at any time.

Wulili was Sadan Shae's confidant and strategist. Although her intimacy was definitely not as good as Kesaizai Yukari, she was already considered Sadan Shae's most trusted and relied-upon person in the faction.

Therefore, Sadan Shae's actions would not be hidden from her.

Wulili knew that before disappearing yesterday, Sadan-sama went to find Shokuhou Misaki and the others.

Although there was no direct evidence to show that Shokuhou Misaki and the others were the culprits behind Sadan-sama's disappearance, Wulili, who was forced into a desperate situation and couldn't find any other clues, could only point the finger at Shokuhou Misaki.

To put it bluntly, even if Shokuhou Misaki wasn't a bad person, she definitely knew the whereabouts of Sadan-sama.

After all, just the day before yesterday, the two families had secretly formed an alliance, but then Sadan-sama suddenly disappeared, so this ally seemed very suspicious.

"Shokuhou-sama, please tell me, where did Sadan-sama go?"

Wulili calmed down slightly, but still relentlessly pursued the question.
