A Scientific Urban Detective
#260 - Money, not fame
Just as Hahni said, thinking about it carefully, Metokou Kama was completely used as a tool by the "organizer"—to make her personally carry out the serial bombings, and especially attack Lin Wuming's team to prevent them from continuing to investigate the "underground arena."
This was to buy time for the "underground arena" to transfer and hide, and to take certain countermeasures to resolve this "crisis."
Even if this goal failed—like now, the serial bombings were quickly solved, the attack and assassination of Lin Wuming's team also failed, and even Metokou Kama herself was arrested and imprisoned…
For the real "organizer," this is not much of a loss.
—It's just using a borrowed knife to kill.
For the "organizer," Metokou Kama was never "one of them" from the beginning.
Looking back, the reason Metokou Kama was allowed to join the "organizer" was only to prevent her "three consecutive championships."
Although she was no match for the leader in challenges, Metokou Kama's superpower and strength were overwhelming in the arena.
As long as she participated in a match, the outcome would be without any suspense.
For a competition whose main selling point is "excitement," losing suspense is the most fatal flaw.
Not to mention, the main way the "underground arena" makes a profit is through betting; when the outcome of the arena is obvious and there is no suspense, everyone will naturally flock to bet on Metokou Kama's side…
Undoubtedly, this had a huge impact on the "underground arena's" profits.
Therefore, the "organizer" tried every means to prevent Metokou Kama from continuing to win, and the final result was "amnesty"—promoting Metokou Kama's identity from "competitor" to "organizer."
But without a doubt, Metokou Kama's so-called "organizer" status was just to fool her. They never regarded her as one of their own.
No wonder, Metokou Kama is warlike, arrogant and conceited, and greedy for money—the first thing she did when she "joined the job" was to challenge the leader, trying to subvert her superior.
It would be strange if anyone could like her.
To be honest, the "organizer" probably wanted to get rid of this troublesome guy long ago.
If they weren't afraid of her "high-pressure vessel," they might have really taken action directly, right?
As for Metokou Kama, she actually knew that she was being excluded. However, her personality has always been like this. Since she was a child, it was common for her to be disliked, isolated, and excluded, so it was not worth paying attention to.
In addition, she felt that she had shown enough strength. Except for the leader, "Virgin Wood," no one in the "organizer" was her opponent.
Since this was the case, she firmly believed that the "organizer" had no reason to "fire" her.
Therefore, Metokou Kama had always been conscientious, and could even be said to be "desperate" to work for the "underground arena" and contribute her strength.
Even this task of diverting the attention of the security forces and the disciplinary committee was taken without hesitation, and she personally completed it…
Even if she was caught, she was determined to resist to the end and never reveal any information.
Who knew she would encounter the unreasonable "Mental Out"…
It is not difficult to see that Metokou Kama sincerely regarded the "underground arena" as her own career.
"Although she is very good at fighting, she is a reckless character," Lin Wuming concluded, "She doesn't seem to be very smart."
"In short, to prevent the 'organizer' from sending someone to silence her, we have transferred her to the juvenile detention center," Aiho Yomikawa said, "Next, we plan to dig deeper into the 'Virgin Wood' clue. In addition, we will conduct a more in-depth investigation of the venues that were once used as underground arenas…"
"By the way," Aiho Yomikawa said again, "During the investigation, it may be necessary to conduct a more detailed consultation with the person in charge of arresting Metokou Kama. At that time, I hope Wuming can act as a bridge and help contact Kinuhata-san's side."
More accurately, it is to contact Mugino Shizuri, the leader of "Item," through Kinuhata Saiai—in the actual battle and arrest process, Mugino Shizuri's role cannot be ignored.
"Okay, I…" Lin Wuming subconsciously wanted to agree, but suddenly realized that Kinuhata Saiai was easy to talk to, but was her boss, Mugino Shizuri, really that easy to persuade?
However, Aiho Yomikawa just mentioned it casually as a precaution and did not immediately ask to find Mugino Shizuri. This made Lin Wuming slightly relieved and decided to find a chance to sound out Kinuhata Saiai later.
The conversation came to a temporary end. At this time, Aiho Yomikawa pressed the prompt bell on the side and called the waiter outside to serve the dishes.
"It's my treat today, eat as much as you can," Aiho Yomikawa said, "It's also a reward for your efforts today."
Within a short day, they captured the "Bomb Devil." Lin Wuming and his team made a great contribution. It is said that the security forces have already applied for special scholarships and honorary medals for them. And the bonus amount has also been increased to the million level.
The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!
"The bonus has increased again? That's great, this can be considered a benefit of being 'on the payroll,' right?" Lin Wuming joked, "I didn't have this kind of treatment when I was a hero myself before…"
"How can this be the same?" Aiho Yomikawa rolled her eyes, "What was the situation before, and what is the situation now? Do you think our efforts and your own efforts these days have been in vain?"
Lin Wuming nodded. He could understand that it was already good enough to be able to cover up his black history before. How dare he ask for too much?
Now that he has finally been officially employed and the past storms have gradually subsided, he naturally has the qualifications to accept awards…
Moreover, to be honest, the security forces' awarding them medals this time actually meant settling all of Lin Wuming's previous achievements together.
Otherwise, just a certificate of honor or an award would be enough—after all, the security forces issue bonuses rather than bounties, and do not encourage student citizens to become bounty hunters.
Of course, Lin Wuming and Hahni didn't care about these false names, and they didn't quite understand what such "honor" meant.
In comparison, they were more concerned about the million-level bonus.
Aiho Yomikawa saw this, but didn't say much. Originally, the "honor" system was a means to save bonuses. As an insider, she felt that being realistic was not a problem.
Lin Wuming and Hahni didn't seem to have any ambition for "power," so "honor" was not so important to them.
