A Scientific Urban Detective

Carefully reviewing all the information gathered so far in his mind, Lin Wuming became increasingly convinced that this Saburo Shibata was the real culprit behind the theft.

As for his reason for actively reporting the crime, it was likely just a means to clear himself of suspicion.

Lin Wuming remembered that when the chairman described the case, he mentioned that Saburo Shibata had been alone in the office where the safe was stolen for a period of time that morning.

Although it was only a brief two minutes, it seemed impossible to do anything. But if it was just to open the safe, two minutes would be more than enough.

After that, no one entered the office to check, so no one would have noticed that the safe had been opened—until the liquid metal robot went in...

If this conjecture holds true, then Saburo Shibata is at least an accomplice in this case.

Facing the three Disciplinary Committee members who suddenly found him, Saburo Shibata appeared very impatient, fully displaying the aura of an adult and a "superior," sternly reprimanding them to "mind their own business."

If Lin Wuming hadn't stopped her, Toramitsu Hachiho was about to draw her sword.

Miwako Sogo had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, trying to talk to him.

Of course, the result wasn't very good.

Although she usually presents herself as a gentle upperclassman, Miwako Sogo is actually tough on the inside.

You know, before becoming a Disciplinary Committee member, she was a racer in the "Great Spider" gang.

Just as Miwako Sogo was about to lose her temper and clench her fist to punch him, Lin Wuming finally stepped forward.

Because both Lin Wuming and Toramitsu Hachiho were the type who didn't like or weren't good at interacting with people, all the work of talking and negotiating was left to Miwako Sogo.

Originally, Lin Wuming didn't plan to step forward either. He would just wait and see, and at most wait until the Disciplinary Committee's mental ability support arrived, and then everything could be resolved.

However, Saburo Shibata was too arrogant and cursed too harshly, making it unbearable.

If there weren't security guards watching nearby, Lin Wuming would definitely have done something to make him suffer.

It was unclear whether Saburo Shibata had been in a high position for too long and was used to this arrogant attitude, or if he was becoming more agitated because he felt guilty.

But in any case, Lin Wuming didn't plan to continue listening to his elaborate insults.

"Saburo Shibata!" Lin Wuming shouted, interrupting the endless stream of words.

With this shout, Lin Wuming used his Nen ability to create a 360-degree surround sound around Saburo Shibata.

To Saburo Shibata's ears, it was like a thunderclap exploding beside him!

He let out an "Eek!" and jumped up in fright, his face pale.

"Making a false police report is also a criminal act—you should know that, right?" Lin Wuming said sternly.

"Eek... Eh?" Saburo Shibata immediately perked up and hurriedly shook his head. "You, what are you talking about? What false police report? Don't make false accusations! I'll sue you for defamation!"

"Why are you panicking?" Miwako Sogo, who had been enduring for a long time, immediately added, "We didn't say it was you who made the false report, did we? Why are you so eager to admit it?"

"You!" Saburo Shibata took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "You're using clever tricks to trick me into confessing! This is against the rules!"

Lin Wuming didn't intend to argue with him and said directly, "Saburo Shibata, you abused your position and stole the 100 million yen from the safe, right?"

Lin Wuming stared intently at the other party's eyes, trying to see something.

Unfortunately, he hadn't studied psychology and couldn't see anything—but that didn't matter, as long as he made the other party think he had seen through their lies.

Lin Wuming shook his head and continued, "No, I think there was no money in the safe from the beginning, right? You had already taken the money long ago, and today's farce was just to write it off."

Because the briefcase found by the Disciplinary Committee was empty, Lin Wuming boldly guessed, could it be that the thief took away an empty box from the beginning?

Then Lin Wuming naturally thought of the idea of using a thief to write off the debt.

Of course, all of the above were just Lin Wuming's own conjectures based on the currently known information. He didn't actually know what the truth was.

After all, Lin Wuming was not a security guard or a detective. At most, he was just an ordinary fan of mystery novels.

Although he could make some basic inferences based on the known clues, it would be a bit too difficult for Lin Wuming to solve the case and find the culprit through reasoning.

In fact, Lin Wuming didn't want to say his immature reasoning—he was just enjoying the process of reasoning for his own amusement; the correct way to use it would be to wait until the case was solved and get the correct answer, and then compare his reasoning with it to see if he guessed correctly...

That's right, Lin Wuming was treating this case as a real-life mystery novel.

However, Saburo Shibata's verbal abuse was really raising people's blood pressure.

Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Wuming didn't bother to care so much and directly said his reasoning—as long as it could shut Saburo Shibata up and make him feel troubled.

Lin Wuming's accusation immediately had an effect.

After hearing it, Saburo Shibata was stunned for a few seconds, and then he began to shout hysterically, acting like a madman.

The security guards nearby had already noticed the situation here, and when they saw this, they quickly ran over.

After hearing Lin Wuming's reasoning, the security guards also felt that it made sense.

—Although there was still a lack of sufficient evidence, it was at least a line of thought. And more importantly, they had been unhappy with Saburo Shibata for a long time.

"Damn it, damn it! How can you do this, accusing innocent people without any evidence?" Saburo Shibata shouted, "I'm the one who reported the case! How can you suspect me?"

"Evidence is easy to find," although he couldn't see anything, Lin Wuming felt that this guy was becoming more and more suspicious. "I know 'Mental Out'—the one who recently became a Level 5. As long as we let her take a look, we'll naturally know if you're lying."

In fact, Lin Wuming was lying. He had never intended to call Misaki Shokuhou. He just wanted to use the name of "Mental Out" to intimidate Saburo Shibata.

Lin Wuming's strategy was indeed successful.

As a "big shot," Saburo Shibata certainly knew the relevant information as soon as Misaki Shokuhou was promoted to Level 5, and he also knew that Misaki Shokuhou was also the "interrogation consultant" of the security forces.

The thing he was most worried about had happened—logically speaking, the security forces would not treat the person who reported the case as a criminal, so he dared to take a gamble.

But who knew what was going on, he was suddenly entangled by a few kids, who even suspected him of being the culprit unreasonably, and could even use personal connections to bring in that "Mental Out"...

How could he play this game?

Saburo Shibata was anxious and angry, and in a panic, he finally broke down.

"This is wrong! This doesn't comply with the procedures and regulations!" Saburo Shibata shouted hysterically, "I'm the one who reported the case! I ordered you to work and investigate! I'm the employer! You workers can't question me, the employer!"
