A Scientific Urban Detective

"Teacher, you're the one being taken care of, aren't you?" - Toru Mine pointed out the truth of their relationship in one sentence.

Aiho Yomikawa was embarrassingly silent.

"Please, Teacher Yomikawa!" Toru Mine said bluntly, "Lin Wu Ming is still injured, and he's just a child. You, as his guardian, need him to take care of you instead… Don't you think that's a bit inappropriate?"

Faced with the girl's sharp lecture, Aiho Yomikawa, knowing she was in the wrong, had no power to fight back.

"It's just that Wu Ming-kun is too capable…" Aiho Yomikawa muttered. She had also made comparisons and found that whether it was housework or cooking, she couldn't compare to the child she had adopted.

"And Wu Ming-kun also said that doing housework can help him train his esper ability, so I simply left it to him…"

Seemingly thinking of Lin Wu Ming's meticulous level of esper ability manipulation, Toru Mine also agreed with this.

They had both seen other "espers," but regardless of their ability level, they didn't seem to have seen a second esper who could manipulate their ability as skillfully as Lin Wu Ming.

"Speaking of which, is Lin Wu Ming really just a Level 3?" Toru Mine muttered.

"I took him to do an ability level test before he was discharged from the hospital, and he was indeed Level 3," Aiho Yomikawa said.

Then, the two of them sighed together.

After a moment of silence, Toru Mine looked at her phone again: "Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"Oh right, why not call and ask?" Seeing the phone, Toru Mine suddenly said.

"Wu Ming-kun's phone was only bought yesterday," Aiho Yomikawa said somewhat awkwardly, "I haven't asked for his number yet…"

Although Aiho Yomikawa paid for it, because Lin Wu Ming was very independent, she confidently left everything to Lin Wu Ming to handle himself, except for the payment.

"What kind of guardian are you!" Toru Mine said in surprise, compared to her own guardian, Teacher Sakurai, it was almost a huge gap between Level 0 and Level 5!

Aiho Yomikawa became even more embarrassed.

Fortunately, at this moment, a ringing phone saved her.

"Phone, phone…" She quickly ran to find her phone.

When she saw the caller ID, the expression on Aiho Yomikawa's face suddenly collapsed.

A call from a colleague, one of the calls she least wanted to receive during her vacation.

But helplessly, due to her duties, she had to answer the phone.

"Yomikawa, Yomikawa, something terrible has happened!" As expected, the moment she answered, her colleague's shouting came from the other end of the phone, "The boy living in your house was attacked on the street!"

"What! What happened to Wu Ming-kun?" Aiho Yomikawa exclaimed in shock.

"Lin Wu Ming?!" Toru Mine, who was next to her, also jumped up and moved closer.

Seemingly startled by Aiho Yomikawa's shout, the person on the other end of the phone hesitated: "No… just… he was attacked, in the city park next to the supermarket, by a group of thugs… Sato and the others patrolling nearby have already arrived at the scene…"

"All of that is fine," Not hearing the information she cared about most, Aiho Yomikawa interrupted impatiently, "How is Wu Ming-kun? Is he injured?"

"You don't have to worry about that," the person on the other end said, "Because Lin Wu Ming reported the incident himself, and all the thugs at the scene have been beaten down."

"I knew it," Toru Mine said, crossing her arms and nodding repeatedly, "Lin Wu Ming is so strong, how could he be beaten down by a group of delinquents."

"But," the person on the other end continued, "Lin Wu Ming's whereabouts are unknown at the scene."

"Huh?" Before she could be happy, Aiho Yomikawa was stunned, "Then where did he go?"

"I thought he might have gone straight home, so I called you," the person on the other end said, "If he goes back, remember to take a statement from him."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Aiho Yomikawa hung up the phone, rolling her eyes, "That lazy bum…"

Although she was sure that Lin Wu Ming was okay, the unease in her heart grew stronger.

"I really shouldn't have let Wu Ming-kun go out alone!" Aiho Yomikawa said regretfully, "The enemy obviously hasn't given up!"

Toru Mine narrowed her eyes: "Is it the same group who assassinated Teacher Sakurai in the hospital last time?"

"Probably members of the same organization." Aiho Yomikawa said, "Which is the research institution Wu Ming-kun was in before he lost his memory - it's a pity we haven't found out their true identities yet! Damn it, are they still unwilling to give up!"

Otherwise, how could Lin Wu Ming suddenly be attacked by a group of delinquents for no reason?

Because life had been too peaceful recently, and Lin Wu Ming had been "staying at home," Aiho Yomikawa had forgotten that there were still people chasing him. She was drowsy this morning and didn't think much when she heard Lin Wu Ming planning to go out.

Who would have thought that such a carelessness would almost lead to disaster! Thanks to Lin Wu Ming himself being reliable, he wasn't ambushed by the enemy…

"Huh? What's this email…" When she casually cleared the red dots on various applications on her phone, Aiho Yomikawa suddenly noticed an email in her inbox, from an unknown number.

"Wu Ming?" But when she opened it, it was actually an email from Lin Wu Ming!

Because she hadn't recorded Lin Wu Ming's number yet, it naturally showed as an unknown sender, and the notification sound was eliminated by the phone's do-not-disturb mode for strangers.

"Wu Ming wants to investigate the enemy's headquarters?" Seeing the contents of the email, Aiho Yomikawa couldn't sit still, "That's too reckless! What is he trying to do!"

"What? What's wrong with Lin Wu Ming, let me see!" Toru Mine squeezed closer, trying to snatch the phone.

But a new ringing phone stopped her attempt.

Aiho Yomikawa stopped her, and answered the phone, it was the same colleague as before.

"Things are serious, Yomikawa, you'd better come here quickly," the person on the other end said in a low voice, "There are fatalities."

"Who?" Aiho Yomikawa's heart tightened.

"The identity is being verified. He was shot in the head with a high-powered bullet and can no longer be identified by his face. We can only determine that he is an adult male, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old."

Hearing that the deceased was not Lin Wu Ming, Aiho Yomikawa breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "But what does this have to do with Wu Ming?"

Lin Wu Ming doesn't have a gun, and doesn't need to use firearms to fight, so the deceased shouldn't have been killed by Lin Wu Ming.

"Not only this deceased, but there are also thirteen injured at the scene. According to their account, Lin Wu Ming was the one who injured them." After a slight pause, the person on the other end continued, "Of course, they also confessed that their mission was to capture Lin Wu Ming - being beaten so badly is their own fault."

Aiho Yomikawa immediately reacted: "The dark side?"

"Yes, it's that 'Hunter'."

"I'll be right there!" Aiho Yomikawa said immediately.
