A Scientific Urban Detective

The next day after school, Lin Wuming once again arrived at the "Top Student" training class on time to participate in the activities.

The result only further proved his judgment from yesterday: "As expected, there's no surprise at all. How disappointing."

"Yeah, so disappointing!" Just as Lin Wuming was lamenting his disappointment, he didn't expect someone to chime in beside him.

At this moment, Lin Wuming was standing at the very back of the crowd, complaining. Unlike the other students who were already deeply engrossed, he had seen through the essence of the "Top Student" scheme from the start and was not swayed by the speech on stage.

You should know that at this moment, the other students were crowding forward, eager to rush directly to the podium. Therefore, Lin Wuming had distanced himself considerably from them, not worried about his complaints being heard by others.

But he didn't notice that there was also a girl who was keeping her distance from the others, standing in the corner at the back.

Lin Wuming looked down and saw that the speaker was a petite girl with a well-behaved appearance and long, straight black hair.

"Elementary school student?"

Lin Wuming was a little surprised. This girl should be the youngest student present. Because most of those who signed up for this training class were high school students who faced greater academic pressure. Middle school students like Lin Wuming were in the minority.

"I'm already in fifth grade," the girl responded, blinking her eyes. "In two more years, I'll be a middle school student!"

Contrary to her quiet and well-behaved appearance, this girl's personality seemed surprisingly cheerful and lively.

It was hard to imagine such a person coming to participate in this kind of training class.

So, Lin Wuming asked directly, "Why did you come to this training class? It costs a lot of money, right?"

"Yeah, 20,000 yen," the girl said with a distressed expression. "All the pocket money I saved for a long time has been invested in this, and the result is this..."

"Twenty thousand?" Lin Wuming exclaimed. "But that grandson charged me 200,000!"

It was obvious that they were tailoring the price to the individual, not even letting go of an elementary school student's wallet!

"So, this place is really a scam?" the girl nodded seriously. "Looks like Chuchun-san was right."

"I knew it, an urban legend that's so easily found definitely wouldn't be real..." the girl muttered. She seemed to have already realized that she had been deceived, but for some reason, there wasn't much frustration in her expression.

Chuchun-san? Urban legend?

Lin Wuming sensed something important. He moved slightly away, re-examining the girl in front of him.

Wearing a five-petal white plum blossom hairpin on her head, now that he looked closely, it did seem much more familiar.

"Saten Ruiko?" Lin Wuming tentatively called out the girl's name.

"You really do know me!" Saten Ruiko said excitedly. "Lin Wuming-senpai!"

Lin Wuming was shocked: "How did you recognize me?"

His disguise was supposed to be flawless!

"Hehe," the girl laughed triumphantly. "Don't underestimate my urban legend radar! It's rare to see a living legend appear before my eyes. It would be a lifelong regret to miss it!"

"It doesn't have to be that regrettable..." Lin Wuming said. Anyway, he was now a student at Sakugawa Middle School. He and Saten Ruiko should be classmates in the future, and there would always be opportunities to meet.

So he had been classified as an "urban legend" by this girl. No wonder she looked so excited.

It was also no wonder that Saten Ruiko didn't seem to care so much about losing a huge sum of 20,000 yen. After all, she had indeed seen a living urban legend—"Hero" Lin Wuming. For her, it could be considered a blessing in disguise, a worthwhile trip.

"Moreover, the heroic Wuming-senpai will definitely be able to help me get back that 20,000 yen, right?" Saten Ruiko looked over with sparkling eyes.

"I'm not even sure if I can get back the 200,000 I paid. Don't have too much hope. These scammers don't have the habit of saving money."

"Eh? How could this be!" The girl finally started to worry.

"So," Lin Wuming couldn't help but flick her forehead. "Don't fall for this kind of thing again."

After saying that, Lin Wuming took out his hidden phone and notified his Discipline Committee companions who were lying in wait outside: "Okay, let's move in!"

That night, the illegal training institution called "Top Student" was shut down by the Discipline Committee, and the related criminals were handed over to the Anti-Skill for disposal. The students who had been deceived were also awakened by a round of criticism and lectures from the Anti-Skill teachers, and their losses were recovered to varying degrees.

Most importantly, there were no casualties in the incident, so it could be said to have been resolved satisfactorily.

...

"This is the method you came up with? Hiring assassins to kill Lin Wuming?" At the same time, Tenjou Yau was furiously questioning his trusted assistant.

"Y-yes." The trusted assistant kept wiping his sweat. Of course, he knew that he had messed up.

Because this kind of assassination request had a lot of uncertainty, and there was almost no way to give an accurate completion time, he temporarily stopped paying attention after posting the task on the dark web.

As a result, the trusted assistant suddenly heard about a murder case not far from the research institute that day, and when he went to join the fun, he realized that someone seemed to be assassinating someone in the street.

It couldn't be that coincidental—the trusted assistant thought as he immediately logged into the dark web to contact the "Biological Era" mercenary organization.

But there was no response from them, and then news came that the entire organization had been wiped out.

Only then did he realize that he had messed up.

Fortunately, although he was already furious, Tenjou Yau was not Kihara Gensei after all, so his trusted assistant was able to save his life.

"Idiot, idiot, idiot!" In his anger, Tenjou Yau slapped his trusted assistant left and right, turning his face into a pig's head. "Not only did you not solve the problem, but you also attracted those troublesome Anti-Skill guys. Do you not want to live!"

Although he had a lot of complaints he wanted to make, the trusted assistant remained silent and endured it.

Like Tenjou Yau, the trusted assistant already knew a lot about the new boss, Kihara Gensei's personality and temperament.

So he knew very well that if Kihara Gensei were to deal with the mistakes he had made, he would definitely be shot and dragged out to feed the dogs.

So... let Tenjou Yau hit him, it was better than losing his life.

After severely beating his useless subordinate, Tenjou Yau calmed down slightly and then bolstered his courage.

"I'm going to report the situation to Kihara-sensei. Now..." Tenjou Yau said, "Start praying, hoping that he won't execute us for this mistake."

Gulp...

The assistant made the sign of the cross on his chest.

"Will the god of the Christian faith protect us?" Tenjou Yau muttered, turning and walking out of his laboratory.

Ten minutes later, Tenjou Yau returned here.

His face was pale, and he was covered in cold sweat, as if he had been seriously ill.

"The judgment is out," he said, "Let us continue the operation."

"Ah? What operation?"

"Find a way to kill that Lin Wuming."

The trusted assistant quickly asked, "Could it be that Lin Wuming really discovered us..."

"That's not the case," Tenjou Yau shook his head. "That guy... Kihara-sama probably just doesn't like him? He wants us to find someone to kill Lin Wuming without being discovered... or find a way to make trouble for him. The good news is that he doesn't insist that we must kill Lin Wuming."

"Ah?"
