A Scientific Urban Detective

“Captain Hiyama has already told me about the case,” Aiho Yomikawa said. “Although there are still some details I need to ask you two about, he has assigned this task to me. So… let’s go home first.”

After returning home, Lin Wuming pushed the wheelchair out from the corner of the room again.

“I’m back again…” Patting the armrest of the wheelchair, Lin Wuming felt a sense of mixed emotions.

Skillfully using his Nen ability to drive the wheelchair, he left the room and went to the living room.

“Wuming-kun…” Seeing him like this, Aiho Yomikawa also had a complicated expression. “Although I feel a little sorry, I still think this image suits you better.”

“Okay, I get it…” Lin Wuming couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “Even I am more used to sitting in a wheelchair.”

This wasn’t Lin Wuming mocking himself. After all, he had spent more than 70% of his time in a wheelchair in the two months or so since he came to this world, and he was really used to this lifestyle.

“How does your injury feel? Does it still hurt?” Aiho Yomikawa asked with concern.

“Of course it still hurts,” Lin Wuming said, “but I’m used to it, or rather, I’ve adapted to it, so don’t worry.”

“You, try to get injured less often,” Aiho Yomikawa sighed.

“I don’t want to either,” Lin Wuming said with a wry smile.

If possible, who would want to get injured and suffer pain? The best outcome is to defeat the enemy without getting hurt at all.

“As long as there is a battle, injury and bloodshed are inevitable,” Toumi Hachisuka said.

She herself had prepared herself for injury and bloodshed before engaging in combat, so she was much more calm about Lin Wuming’s injury.

In Toumi Hachisuka’s opinion, as long as you don’t die or become disabled, even the most serious injuries can be recovered from, so there’s no need to worry too much.

Seeing that Lin Wuming had settled down, Aiho Yomikawa hesitated for a moment, then said, “Alright, Wuming-kun, although you might be very tired, please cooperate with us to complete the investigation.”

“Of course, no problem,” Lin Wuming agreed readily.

He wasn’t actually tired, and his mental exhaustion wasn’t great either. The only problem was that his legs were injured, so he had to return to the wheelchair.

But for Lin Wuming, this wasn’t unacceptable.

On the contrary, as he himself said, it gave Lin Wuming a familiar feeling.

“I’m fine, let’s start directly,” Lin Wuming sat up straight, ready to cooperate with the investigation.

This wasn’t the first time he had experienced something like this, so he was quite familiar with it.

Seeing Lin Wuming quickly get into the zone, Aiho Yomikawa was speechless. “You… when did you become so skilled…”

Although it was a routine inquiry and investigation, Aiho Yomikawa also wanted to take the opportunity to understand what exactly had happened today.

Due to work reasons, Aiho Yomikawa was busy elsewhere, so she couldn’t get to the scene immediately and didn’t have first-hand information. This made her feel uneasy, and she was very worried that the situation would develop beyond her expectations.

Fortunately, according to Lin Wuming and Toumi Hachisuka’s accounts, although their experiences today were very eventful and the final battle was very intense, nothing too out of the ordinary happened in the end.

Lin Wuming and Toumi Hachisuka’s actions were in line with the Disciplinary Committee’s guidelines, and they eventually caught the suspect, Mito Kouma—this achievement and merit fully qualified them to be awarded an “Outstanding Citizen Medal”.

“And a bonus of no less than 500,000 yen,” Aiho Yomikawa said. “Don’t worry, I’ll help you get the reward!”

“That’s not bad.” Remembering that he was penniless and couldn’t even afford to buy drinks for the girls, Lin Wuming was very interested in this windfall.

Toumi Hachisuka said calmly, “Considering the dangerousness of the criminal, 500,000 is not much.”

“After all, this is just a bonus and not a bounty,” Aiho Yomikawa retorted. “It’s to reward citizens who have contributed to maintaining the peace of the city. If the amount is too high, wouldn’t it be encouraging people to become bounty hunters…”

Aiho Yomikawa was in a good mood and explained the bonus and honorary medal system within the security forces to Lin Wuming and the others in detail.

What she was most worried about, besides Lin Wuming and Toumi Hachisuka getting injured or even dying in battle, was that the two of them would lose control and cause another “bloodbath”...

Now it seemed that, apart from Lin Wuming being slightly injured, the overall development of the incident was perfect. Lin Wuming was a genuine hero, with only merits and no faults.

Letting out a long sigh of relief, Aiho Yomikawa even wanted to open a can of beer to celebrate.

But unfortunately, thinking that she was still working, Aiho Yomikawa had to endure and opened a can of soda instead.

That’s right, although she had returned home, Aiho Yomikawa was not off work yet.

Escorting Lin Wuming and Toumi Hachisuka home and taking their statements—this was her job.

After completing these tasks, she would need to continue to go out and work with other colleagues to handle the follow-up work of the case.

Just as Aiho Yomikawa finished resting and was about to get up and set off again, a phone call came in.

“Hiyama? Why is that guy calling? Didn’t I already send the inquiry record over?” Muttering to herself, Aiho Yomikawa answered the phone.

“Ask a few more questions for me…” Captain Hiyama said.

Aiho Yomikawa turned on the speakerphone. “Just ask directly, they’re right next to me.”

“Tch, okay…” After what seemed like a sigh, Captain Hiyama said, “Lin Wuming, the following questions will not appear in the final case report, so please don’t hide anything.”

“During today’s operation, you sought help from Kinuhata Saiai, and in the end, she was the one who caught the suspect, Mito Kouma, and handed him over to you, right?” Captain Hiyama asked.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Then, do you know how Kinuhata Saiai caught the suspect?”

“…” Lin Wuming thought for a moment, then turned to look at Toumi Hachisuka. “I really don’t know. At the time, I was in a hurry to go to the hospital, and Kinuhata Saiai seemed eager to leave as well, so we didn’t have much communication. We separated after a hasty handover of the criminal.”

This was the truth, but Lin Wuming was still withholding something. The reason he didn’t continue to ask at the time was because he already knew that Kinuhata Saiai had the assistance of Mugino Shizuri and others, so it wasn’t strange to catch a Mito Kouma.

As for the girls who were also at the scene at the time, they didn’t ask much because they had completely handed over the right to negotiate to Lin Wuming.
