A Scientific Urban Detective

Lin Wuming was ambushed while out buying groceries, and it was confirmed that a dark side organization was involved in the attack. They even engaged in direct conflict with Lin Wuming, resulting in casualties... Various incidents were unfolding in a chaotic mess, but regardless, as Lin Wuming's bodyguard and guardian, Huangquanchuan Aihui had to make a trip.

"Hufeng-san," Huangquanchuan Aihui said apologetically, "I'm very sorry that I can't continue to entertain you today. I'll invite you to taste Wuming-kun's cooking next time."

"That's not the point, is it?" Hufeng Toumi said, "I overheard the phone call just now. Lin Wuming is in trouble and his whereabouts are unknown?"

"Please rest assured, I will find him." Huangquanchuan Aihui had already changed into her bodyguard uniform. "Just wait for my good news... Do you need me to take you home? It seems a bit unsafe outside right now."

"No need, you go help Lin Wuming first." Hufeng Toumi shook her head. "I'll be fine."

The two left the apartment building together.

At the moment of parting, Huangquanchuan Aihui couldn't help but call out to the blonde girl, "Hufeng-san, you... don't do anything rash!"

"Don't worry, Huangquanchuan-sensei," the girl replied with a smile, then turned and walked towards the bus stop, seemingly preparing to take the bus home.

The precocious Hufeng Toumi didn't say much, because she knew that Huangquanchuan Aihui wouldn't agree to let her help; since that was the case, it was better not to say anything from the start, wasting time and adding to both their worries.

However, what Hufeng Toumi did after leaving Huangquanchuan Aihui's sight was her own business.

"Of course, I can't give up." A pair of emerald green eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous gaze like a hunter.

She gently fluttered her nostrils, as if trying to catch a scent.

"Ah... this city has been peaceful for too long after all. Even the slightest smell of gunpowder seems so clear."

As if immersed in the long-lost smoke of war, Hufeng Toumi suddenly turned her head in one direction, swung her legs, and pounced out like a beast hunting.

"The people of this city have also been peaceful for too long, so even the security forces can't find Lin Wuming before I do!"

Hufeng Toumi ran along the route she had determined with full confidence.

Having grown up in a war-torn area since childhood, Hufeng Toumi had an extraordinary sensitivity to "war"—if not for this almost instinctive "talent," she probably wouldn't have been able to survive in that cruel environment.

Therefore, making use of this "talent," Hufeng Toumi was confident that she could find Lin Wuming in the vast sea of people in this metropolis.

Based on the content of Huangquanchuan Aihui's phone call with her colleagues in the security forces, it was not difficult to deduce a few basic facts—

First, Lin Wuming was attacked, and the mastermind was likely the research institution he used to work for, except this time they hired a dark side organization called "Hunter" to carry out the assassination;

Second, Lin Wuming had already engaged in a direct battle with the enemy, and Lin Wuming should have won a great victory;

Third, Lin Wuming was not willing to be beaten passively, so after solving the enemies in front of him, he was preparing to counterattack and attack the enemy's lair.

"Lin Wuming probably has the same concerns as me, worrying that those adults will stop him, so he chose to disappear temporarily and act alone." This was the conclusion Hufeng Toumi drew based on her own speculation.

To be honest, Lin Wuming's performance and decision were very much to Hufeng Toumi's liking. His style of doing things was decisive, and it was very similar to her personality; so Hufeng Toumi decided to help him.

More importantly, the organization that wanted to assassinate Lin Wuming was also an enemy targeted by Hufeng Toumi—Sakurai-sensei was injured by a killer hired by them, and is still in the intensive care unit receiving treatment, without regaining consciousness.

Sakurai-sensei and Hufeng Toumi were like mother and daughter, how could she not avenge such a great hatred!

—This time Lin Wuming defeated the killer sent by the enemy, if he successfully extracts information, then I can also take the opportunity to take revenge!

That's what Hufeng Toumi was planning.

—Of course, if Lin Wuming is not good at "torture," then he needs my help even more.

Hufeng Toumi firmly believed that as long as there were enemy prisoners, she could always ask something.

Using various small roads and shortcuts between buildings, Hufeng Toumi arrived at the scene of the battle even earlier than Huangquanchuan Aihui in her car.

Since this area had already been cordoned off by the security forces, Hufeng Toumi did not rashly approach, but only took a look from a distance, then immediately locked onto a new direction and ran towards the office building more than a hundred meters away.

The situation on the scene was clear at a glance, especially the enemy's extensive use of firearms—this was a bonus question for Hufeng Toumi, who came from the battlefield.

The enemy has a sniper—the bullets that can blow people's heads off cannot be fired by the short, cute submachine guns on the scene.

Based on the posture of the deceased, it is not difficult to deduce the approximate trajectory of the bullet.

And in that direction, only this office building is most suitable for setting up a sniper position.

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Jiu Shu Ba!

—Lin Wuming is not here, he is likely going to solve that sniper.

Hufeng Toumi did not think that Lin Wuming would choose to escape in order to avoid the sniper's attack; because in the same situation, she herself would not choose to escape, but would take the initiative to attack, close the distance and kill the enemy!

Regardless of whether Lin Wuming caught the sniper, chasing in the direction of the office building can at least get more clues.

Crossing the street, it took Hufeng Toumi less than three minutes to reach the vicinity of the office building, and the noise in the environment suddenly decreased, as if entering a no-man's land again.

She keenly felt—she had found the right place.

In Academy City, both the security forces and the dark side organizations have special technical means to drive away idlers. Generally speaking, if you suddenly find a quiet and uninhabited area in a bustling city, it is likely that some organization is taking action to clear the area.

Hufeng Toumi became vigilant, but the speed of her footsteps did not decrease, and she plunged into this "silent zone."

Then, she heard bursts of noise in the quiet environment—

The sound of heavy blows hitting the human body, and...

"...Are you going to talk or not! Are you going to talk or not!"

Hufeng Toumi ran towards the location where the sound came from.

"Lin Wuming is extracting information?" she speculated.

When she ran closer, she saw that in the alley behind the office building, a somewhat slender figure was straddling another person, raising his arms and punching the other person left and right.

It was not difficult to recognize that this young man who was frantically beating the other person was Lin Wuming.
