A Scientific Urban Detective

#63 - Discharge and return home

“In any case,” Aiho Yomikawa said, removing the electronic shackles from Lin Wuming's ankles, “please be sure to restrain yourself in the future. There's no problem with acts of bravery and legitimate self-defense, of course, but try not to kill anyone again…”

“Don't worry, I'll be careful…” Lin Wuming nodded, then couldn't help but complain, “This conversation is so strange, it's like I'm some kind of murderer…”

“Aren't you?” Toumi Hanzou suddenly retorted from the side.

Even Toumi Hanzou, who came from the battlefield and was long accustomed to death and slaughter, still felt palpitations at Lin Wuming's madness in the underground training ground that day—although Toumi Hanzou's own kill count was actually not low at all, and she had taken out most of the armed security guards.

But as the saying goes, the anger of an honest person is the most terrifying, and the scene of a law-abiding good citizen going on a killing spree is also quite terrifying.

“Hanzou…” Aiho Yomikawa glared at her helplessly, “Starting today, I will temporarily serve as your guardian in place of Dr. Sakurai.”

“Yes, yes, I know. The doctor has already told me.”

“You're not injured either, so go to Judgement tomorrow to report and participate in training!” Aiho Yomikawa said, “Wuming-kun, you should wait until your injuries heal before participating in training. Before that, do some written training.”

As an officially recognized law enforcement agency, Judgement of course has strict "on-the-job training." Not only do you need to apply and go through multiple selections, but students who are selected to participate in Judgement need to sign 9 agreements and pass 12 adaptability tests and 4 months of training to be finally qualified.

The whole process is exceptionally strict and cumbersome, but undeniably, the students who ultimately pass through the layers of selection and are competent in Judgement are undoubtedly elites.

Toumi Hanzou only felt that participating in training was troublesome, but Aiho Yomikawa was her current guardian, and the doctor who had been helping her recently also told her to be obedient, so she could only nod in agreement.

As a Level 4 esper, Toumi Hanzou's mind is very smart, and her physical fitness is also outstanding beyond ordinary people. As long as she studies hard, it will not be difficult to pass the Judgement assessment, so there is no need to insist on refusing.

However, these are all things for later. The most important thing today is to welcome Lin Wuming home from the hospital.

Aiho Yomikawa and Toumi Hanzou hurriedly took Lin Wuming's meager luggage and pushed the wheelchair out of the hospital.

Because of two consecutive hospitalizations and recent media interviews and reports, Lin Wuming was considered a little famous. Along the way, the doctors and nurses who knew him greeted him and said goodbye, making it very lively.

“It's like being an idol,” Aiho Yomikawa exclaimed.

“He is an idol,” Toumi Hanzou continued, “Some hospitalized children even come specifically to ask Wuming for his autograph.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw two little girls in hospital gowns running up with autograph boards. Lin Wuming also skillfully signed his name and wrote a blessing for each of them.

“Hey, you're very skilled,” Aiho Yomikawa said in surprise, “What exactly have you been through while I've been running around outside!”

Lin Wuming shrugged: “I don't know either. Is it because the media coverage you arranged was too hot?”

“No,” Aiho Yomikawa said, “We just found a cooperative newspaper and conducted interviews and reports according to normal procedures.”

The purpose of doing so was only to help Lin Wuming gain public opinion support and prevent him from being sent to a juvenile reformatory for his actions in the underground training ground.

However, in the subsequent judgment, Lin Wuming had already escaped the danger of entering the juvenile reformatory. The "punishment" he received was only a symbolic electronic shackle, so there was no need to use the media to create momentum anymore.

In fact, in order to avoid someone being interested and digging into Lin Wuming's "heroic deeds," and then digging out the underground training ground, traffic restrictions were imposed on relevant news reports in the later stage.

So, in Aiho Yomikawa's opinion, Lin Wuming's popularity was somewhat incredible.

“Maybe,” Toumi Hanzou suddenly said, “it's because everyone really expects such a hero to appear?”

After a moment of silence, Aiho Yomikawa said: “Our work was not done well.”

Logically speaking, protecting and saving those children should be the responsibility of their security forces; but now, the people who should be protected by them are yearning for a “hero”...

Noticing Aiho Yomikawa's low mood, Lin Wuming advised: “Don't blame yourself too much. The nature of the security forces determines that your actions are bound to be delayed, and they will be subject to various restrictions and supervision. That's why there are organizations like the dark side.”

Amidst the enthusiastic farewell from the doctors and nurses, Lin Wuming left the hospital.

“So much enthusiasm.” Lin Wuming sighed and looked back at the hospital where he had stayed for many days.

Aiho Yomikawa pushed the wheelchair quickly towards the car parked on the side of the road: “Don't go back to the hospital because of their enthusiasm! You're clearly seriously injured, yet you're still so active, spending more time in the hospital than at home…”

She complained fiercely, also containing a warning. Although Lin Wuming had safely passed the test, as a person with a "criminal record," if he caused another big news in a short period of time, not to mention anything else, she, as the "guardian," would also be under great pressure!

Therefore, Aiho Yomikawa would rather Lin Wuming stay at home and recuperate quietly than have him go out to accumulate any more "social practice experience."

“Listen carefully, Wuming-kun, although it's a bit strict, but if you want to go out, remember to say hello to me!” Aiho Yomikawa repeatedly urged, “Even if you go out to do justice again, telling me in advance will be good to bring people to support you!”

—Of course, depending on the situation, it may also be to stop you!

After a long absence, after many days, Lin Wuming returned to Aiho Yomikawa's apartment again.

I originally thought I would be in a juvenile reformatory for a while—Lin Wuming was very satisfied with the current situation.

To celebrate Lin Wuming's discharge from the hospital, Aiho Yomikawa had bought a lot of ingredients and snacks in advance, and even a huge cake.

However, seeing the fresh vegetables piled all over the entrance, Lin Wuming's heart moved, and he quickly crossed the vegetable basket on the ground and went straight to the kitchen.

Sure enough, after being away from home for more than ten days, Lin Wuming's usual kitchen utensils were put away, replaced by Aiho Yomikawa's rice cooker cooking style.

Five rice cookers of different sizes were neatly arranged on the cooking table, bubbling with heat.
