A Scientific Urban Detective

This time, the security forces cutting off Lin Wuming's mobile phone communication can be considered giving him a chance to choose—whether or not to continue playing the role of "hero."

But in reality, there is only one choice…

As the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times. After rescuing innocent children who had become test subjects from the research institute three times in a row, Lin Wuming's identity as a "hero" has been established and recognized by the public.

The momentum has already been built, and if he wants to say he doesn't want to do it now, there will be considerable resistance.

The security forces are also unwilling to interfere so simply and rudely—honestly, having a "hero" like Lin Wuming to cooperate is very convenient for them; of course, it can also be a headache sometimes.

The best way is to let Lin Wuming make the decision himself, then take action gradually, and slowly let his "fans" accept it.

But now it seems that Lin Wuming is even enjoying it and probably won't easily "resign."

"Okay, Wuming, Hufeng, let's go home~" Tetsu-zuri happily greeted, taking the car keys from Yomikawa Aiho's hand.

Because of the "Exploring the Border" case, Yomikawa Aiho needed to work overtime, so she had to ask Tetsu-zuri to take the two home.

After saying goodbye to Yomikawa Aiho, Hufeng Toumi naturally pushed the wheelchair and followed her towards the parking lot.

"How will Yomikawa-sensei get home?" Noticing that they were preparing to ride in Yomikawa Aiho's private car, Lin Wuming asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, there are many security guards living in Family Side, just find someone to give her a ride," Tetsu-zuri said. "You guys should go back and rest!"

"Before that," Lin Wuming said, "the flour and cooking oil at home are almost used up, can we stop by the supermarket?"

Tetsu-zuri said, "Speaking of which, Wuming is also responsible for cooking for Yomikawa-sensei, that's amazing. Everyone is very envious that she took in such a capable child as Wuming!"

Since she had said this much, Lin Wuming continued, "If you don't mind, Tetsu-zuri-sensei, why don't you join us for dinner tonight?"

"Okay!" Tetsu-zuri was instantly tempted, and then proactively said, "I'll pay for all the groceries today!"

As a single working woman, Tetsu-zuri was almost tired of the nearby restaurants and takeaways.

"No need for the money…" Lin Wuming habitually wanted to be polite, but immediately thought of the fact that he was almost penniless, and swallowed the second half of his sentence.

Lin Wuming's scholarship for this month was all used to buy various limited edition Gekota merchandise, and then he rejected Yomikawa Aiho's offer to give him pocket money, so now he only has a few hundred yen left.

Usually, Yomikawa Aiho is responsible for the household purchases, but today, she is busy with a series of cases and obviously can't spare time to buy groceries, so Lin Wuming has to go himself.

"It's okay, don't worry about it," Fortunately, Tetsu-zuri didn't take his politeness seriously, "When we usually go to Yomikawa-sensei's house for gatherings, we all bring our own drinks and snacks."

Lin Wuming breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't have any money. If Tetsu-zuri took him seriously, he would have to let Hufeng Toumi pay.

Thinking of this, Lin Wuming couldn't help but look back at the girl behind him.

Don't look at Hufeng Toumi being younger, but she is a Level 4 esper, so her monthly income is much higher than Lin Wuming's Level 3. Strictly speaking, it's even higher than Yomikawa Aiho's monthly salary!

Hufeng Toumi is the richest little rich girl in the family.

However, coming from a war-torn area, she doesn't have a real sense of money, nor does she have the habit of spending money lavishly; and Hufeng Toumi also needs to save money for her surgery, so she usually doesn't show her "wealth."

For Hufeng Toumi, amounts of money exceeding four digits are in a realm that she cannot directly understand. Compared to a string of 0s in her account, she has more feeling for the currency in her wallet below 10,000 yen.

"Ah, found money, lucky~" Hufeng Toumi suddenly let go of the wheelchair and squatted down to pick something up from the ground.

They were walking outside the hospital building at this time, on the way to the parking lot. Although it wasn't as crowded as the road in front of the hospital entrance, there were still many medical staff or patients passing by here.

"It should be someone who accidentally lost it, right?" Tetsu-zuri said.

What Hufeng Toumi picked up was a 1,000 yen bill, not too much, but not a small amount either, especially for student groups, mainly minors.

"Let's take it to the hospital's lost and found," Tetsu-zuri said.

"Eh…" Hufeng Toumi drawled, very unwillingly, "Things found on the road should belong to me!"

"That's not what a good child should do," Tetsu-zuri said, "and it's not good to pocket the money you found in front of a security guard."

Hufeng Toumi was also very persistent: "If no one comes to claim it, won't the money be wasted on the lost and found department for nothing?"

"How about this, we'll notify the lost and found department first, but keep the money with us. If no one comes to claim it, then consider Hufeng lucky today," Lin Wuming chose a compromise.

"That's a good idea," Hufeng Toumi nodded in agreement.

Tetsu-zuri said helplessly, "That doesn't sound like something a 'hero' would say."

"Well, turn a blind eye appropriately," Lin Wuming said, "we didn't say we wouldn't return the money, we just don't want the money to be wasted."

The newest novels are first published on Liиgqiushuba.com!

Tetsu-zuri sighed and didn't continue to insist. To be honest, if she wasn't wearing a police uniform at this time and in front of two children she knew, she wouldn't have bothered with these trivial matters.

It's just 1,000 yen, a very subtle amount that doesn't count as much.

Next, Tetsu-zuri drove to the supermarket near the apartment building—the same one Lin Wuming went to for shopping for the first time—and went with Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi to purchase groceries for tonight's meal.

"Ah, found money again," Hufeng Toumi's eyes were sharp, and she squatted down again to pick something up from the ground.

This time it was three coins, one 500 yen and two 100 yen.

"Lucky~" Hufeng Toumi looked happy, "My luck is good today."

Lin Wuming then looked at Tetsu-zuri: "Tetsu-zuri-sensei, should we also notify the lost and found about this?"

Compared to the 1,000 yen bill, these coins seemed even more subtle.

After a moment of silence, looking down at the uniform on her body, Tetsu-zuri still said, "I will notify the lost and found."

Hufeng Toumi also sighed a long sigh: "Okay, how boring…"

Saying that, she handed all the money she had picked up twice to Tetsu-zuri.

"Eh? Hufeng?"

"It's not wrong for the teacher to stick to her principles, so I'll leave all the money I picked up to you to handle," Hufeng Toumi said, "Anyway, I've already felt the luck of picking up money from the ground twice."

In comparison, the cash she picked up was less than 2,000 yen. Calming down and thinking about it, Hufeng Toumi really didn't care about this little bit of money.
