A Scientific Urban Detective

Having heard that the bombing was related to the underground arena, Kouhaku decided to personally investigate the serial bombing case.

While it was still like searching for a needle in a haystack, searching for bombs outside was more effective for her "clairvoyance" ability than sitting here reading documents.

As members of the same group, Lin Wuming and Hahoney naturally acted together—even Lin Wuming was fed up with investigating documents day and night.

Kouhaku had "clairvoyance" and felt that she could detect bombs in advance and avoid risks.

Lin Wuming had "bullet time" as a guarantee, and he was afraid of not encountering a fatal crisis. When the time came, he would stand at the forefront, and if there was an explosion, he could deal with it in time.

As for Hahoney, she was not very interested in this mission, but she unconditionally acted with Lin Wuming, and felt that she had battlefield experience, so she was not so afraid of bombs, but she felt a headache because she had to take care of the other two battlefield rookies.

In this way, the three of them had their own plans, walked out of the headquarters building openly wearing armbands, and began patrolling in a very high-profile manner.

"But, where do we have to go to find the bomb?" Kouhaku asked.

Most of the other Judgment members took off their armbands and acted in a low-key manner to prevent being targeted by the "Bomber."

But the three of them did the opposite, wishing to encounter a new bombing attack immediately.

Indeed, simply waiting for the enemy to attack was too passive. The situation was so urgent now, with more than fifty people injured. Where could they have the time to waste here? That's why Lin Wuming advocated using himself as bait, but the other two girls were unwilling to show weakness, and they ended up acting together like this.

Lin Wuming thought for a while and said, "Let's go and take a look at the scene of the previous incidents first... Since the enemy is launching attacks against Judgment members and has already had similar 'besieging the point to strike reinforcements' behavior, then there is a high probability that they will continue to pay attention to the scene of the incidents."

"That makes sense. Let's do it!" Kouhaku nodded and said, "I have already obtained the locations of the previous eight explosions. We will investigate them one by one from near to far!"

In the end, it was "fishing", luring the criminal to attack them again.

The nearest explosion site was in the nearby abandoned open space, where "Big Spider" had recently conducted club activities.

This place was very close to the Judgment headquarters, which showed that the criminal was extremely arrogant and almost provoking them face to face.

However, this place had already been marked with warning lines by both the security forces and Judgment members, and no one else could approach.

The criminal was obviously unlikely to continue ambushing and attacking here.

So the next location...

In one morning, seven different locations of the eight bombing cases were all investigated, but they did not wait for the enemy's attack.

Moreover, during this period, the "Bomber" did not continue to commit crimes in other places, as if he had disappeared all of a sudden.

After being worried all morning but gaining nothing, Kouhaku was a little frustrated.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and because they were busy investigating, the three of them had not had time to eat lunch.

"In short, let's take a rest first." Lin Wuming stopped Kouhaku, who was in a state of forgetfulness, "Our condition is not good now, even if we find the criminal, we may not be a match. If we can't catch the criminal, then everything is meaningless."

Although they had bought some sandwiches and drinks on the road to fill their stomachs, the mental fatigue was not so easy to eliminate.

Not to mention that Kouhaku had stayed up all night.

"But the problem now is," Hahoney said, "we can't judge whether the enemy has already targeted us. What if he is just waiting for us to relax before launching an attack?"

The side effects of the "fishing" tactic are reflected here. Or rather, in essence, this is a hunt, but the roles of hunter and prey may be reversed at any time.

"Go to the most bustling commercial district," Lin Wuming said, "the criminal's goal is very clear, which is to target us Judgment members. He should not launch attacks in crowded places."

"Using ordinary citizens as cover?" Kouhaku hesitated, "This... is not very good, is it?"

Lin Wuming was also stunned. The reason why he proposed this method was also a subconscious reaction. After all, in the original plot, even a guy as powerful and lawless as Accelerator would deliberately avoid crowds when conducting the "Absolute Power Evolution Experiment" and fight outside people's line of sight.

If Misaka's sisters were mixed in the crowd, he would not directly attack.

Affected by this stereotype of unknown origin, Lin Wuming subconsciously felt that crowded public places were equivalent to some kind of "safe zone" in Academy City, and dark side organizations or other dangerous personnel would not start a war in this kind of place.

But in fact, this was just Lin Wuming's wishful thinking—also in the original plot, during the dark side war, Kakine Teitoku and Accelerator recklessly dueled in the street.

Kouhaku sighed and said, "There is a branch office nearby, let's go there to rest."

She still felt that she should not involve unrelated civilians. However, the Judgment branch office was originally built on a relatively busy street.

The Judgment branch office was equipped with a lounge. Kouhaku, who had not slept all night and had been running around all morning, finally failed to continue to hold on, fell on the bed in the lounge, and soon fell into a dream.

After resting for a while, Lin Wuming got up and said to Hahoney, "I'm going out for a walk."

"I also..." Hahoney also stood up immediately.

"No," Lin Wuming refused her company, "Hahoney, you stay here to prevent enemy attacks."

Saying that, Lin Wuming put on his armband: "I'll walk around to see if I can find anything."

Lin Wuming couldn't sit still anymore. The feeling of being targeted by a thief made him very uncomfortable.

The enemy was in the dark and he was in the light, which was really not a favorable situation for him, making Lin Wuming feel that he had oversmarted himself.

Although, all of this was very likely just Lin Wuming's own suspicious delusion...

Rather, from a purely rational analysis, Lin Wuming could basically be sure that their "fishing" tactic in the morning was completely in vain. The "Bomber" was probably not paying attention to them at all, or had already gone home to rest.

But this kind of thing related to one's own safety cannot be reassured by a simple "rational analysis."

As long as the probability was not 100%, then Lin Wuming could not rule out the possibility of being attacked by the enemy, and he could not truly relax.
