A Scientific Urban Detective

Having heard that Lin Wuming and the others lived with a group of security guard teachers, Kazari Uiharu immediately dared not continue to "entice" them to return late. If their guardians were to come knocking on their door, that would be terrible!

Lin Wuming and Kozaku Mitori didn't care about curfew times. Even if they were caught by the security guard teachers in the apartment for returning late, nothing would happen. The lectures would be limited to a few casual reminders.

And to be honest, the security guard teachers were more concerned about whether they were "causing trouble" than their safety.

However, neither Lin Wuming nor Kozaku Mitori were the type to enjoy socializing—even if the other party was an important character from the original work, Lin Wuming was against bringing work relationships outside of work hours, so he decisively turned down all social engagements and went straight home.

As a senior, Kazari Uiharu insisted on taking them to the nearest bus stop.

This time, Lin Wuming didn't refuse her kindness. After all, Kozaku Mitori wasn't too familiar with the routes around the headquarters; with Lin Wuming's level of being directionally challenged, it might be a bit difficult to find their way home with just Kozaku Mitori checking the phone map.

As night fell, Academy City revealed a different side from what it showed during the day.

"Speaking of which," Lin Wuming suddenly asked, "do our Judgment members have night shifts?"

According to the organization's setup, Judgment was, after all, a student self-management organization, with its authority limited to the school districts, and its "work" hours being the time students were at school.

Even extending further, areas outside the campus and leisure time after school also fell within the range of Judgment's activities.

The routine patrol they were conducting today belonged to this category.

But further than that, after dark and late at night, when students had generally returned to their dormitories, Judgment's work theoretically ended.

Unlike the Anti-Skill, who often had to work overtime, ordinary Judgment members didn't have "night shifts."

This directly led to the emergence of Academy City's "special product"—armed skill-less groups, commonly known as "juvenile delinquents" or "gangsters," who would appear at night.

Judgment didn't have a tradition of night shifts, so even in areas not far from Judgment headquarters, there were some oddly dressed young men and women with strange hairstyles active at this time…

Kazari Uiharu certainly knew what Lin Wuming was talking about. She simply shrugged: "Don't worry, although they dress quite uniquely, they aren't bad people at heart. You can think of them as…"

Kazari Uiharu thought for a moment, carefully choosing her words: "Well, like special hobby groups and club activities that aren't recognized by the school? They're active at this time, but they won't cause trouble for ordinary citizens."

What she said wasn't wrong. After all, this was near Judgment headquarters. If they were truly delinquent groups who had done bad things and were on the wanted list, they wouldn't come here to be caught.

While explaining, Kazari Uiharu calmly led them through a group of delinquents.

Lin Wuming and Kozaku Mitori certainly weren't afraid of these flashy young men and women.

Rather, it should be these delinquents who were afraid of them.

Of course, this had nothing to do with their "Judgment" identity—Lin Wuming and the others weren't wearing armbands right now.

"Pfft! It's the female madman!" Someone in the crowd having fun suddenly noticed Kozaku Mitori behind Lin Wuming.

"It really is her! Damn it, she's here again!"

"Not good, run!"

"…"

In the blink of an eye, the colorful figures around them disappeared completely.

Lin Wuming and Kazari Uiharu turned to look at Kozaku Mitori.

"Kozaku, you…" Lin Wuming asked, "Did you do anything to those people?"

"I didn't do anything," the girl said with a straight face, expressionless.

Lin Wuming nodded, but he could already feel faint phantom pains coming from his body—the bad habit of drawing her sword and stabbing people at the slightest disagreement still hadn't changed…

"I really didn't do anything," Kozaku Mitori emphasized again. "No one bled or got hurt at the time! And it's been so long…"

What Kozaku Mitori said was true. With her swordsmanship, she could indeed avoid harming the target at all.

However, from a deterrence perspective, that was even more terrifying.

Looking at the delinquents fleeing in panic, Lin Wuming silently expressed his deep sympathy.

Kazari Uiharu, who was traveling with them, also looked at Kozaku Mitori in surprise and speechlessness—even though she had prepared herself mentally, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart every time this happened that these two, male and female, were definitely not ordinary characters!

But since it was determined that the groups gathered here weren't bad people in essence, Kozaku Mitori wouldn't continue to bully them.

Their departure happened to make the surroundings much quieter, so the three of them set off again, walking forward silently.

On the way to the bus stop, the same scene happened twice more.

It wasn't until they reached another street that the delinquent groups active here finally didn't run away as soon as they saw Kozaku Mitori.

The most novel novel is first published in 6 9 books!

But this time, Kazari Uiharu let out a small exclamation.

In an open space by the roadside, a group of about twenty or thirty people were gathered.

They were racing, or rather, just using this open space to show off their motorcycle skills.

There were no residential areas nearby, and the area they were active in wasn't a road, so from a purely rule-based perspective, there wasn't really a problem.

Although this was a bit of a loophole, for a group of delinquents, this was already a model of law-abiding behavior.

The bus stop was not far away, and neither Lin Wuming nor Kozaku Mitori had any intention of meddling, so they decided to ignore the group, as long as they didn't provoke them.

"That's the bus stop," Kozaku Mitori said, pointing to the bus stop across the road.

Lin Wuming looked down at the phone map, and after careful comparison, he also nodded in agreement.

But Kazari Uiharu suddenly hesitated, slowing down, her steps hesitant, as if she didn't want to continue walking forward.

"What's wrong, Uiharu-san?" Lin Wuming asked, turning his head.

Kazari Uiharu shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just…"

It's just that she had met someone she knew, someone she used to know, someone who could even be called a friend and companion.

But she had betrayed them…

"Great Spider"—a club organization that was also quite famous among delinquents, and their leader, Kurozuma Wataru…
