A Scientific Urban Detective

Suwa Akiko was very enthusiastic, calling out "Senior" with every other word, making her quite conspicuous in the classroom.

"Uh, even so, you don't have to be so polite," Lin Wuming said, feeling a little uncomfortable with all the attention he was getting. "We're classmates, right? Just use a normal form of address."

"Okay," Suwa Akiko nodded with a smile. "Then, please take care of me, Lin Wuming!"

The Disciplinary Committee members viewed Lin Wuming through multiple filters, naturally showing great respect to this legendary senior.

However, in the eyes of ordinary students, Lin Wuming, who was officially attending school for the first time today, seemed a bit abnormal.

"Abnormal" in the literal sense—because Lin Wuming really seemed dull and reacted rather slowly today.

Coupled with all the rumors from before, many people believed that Lin Wuming had been driven silly by being confined for too long.

Even Lin Wuming's homeroom teacher in Class 7 was worried and had a special talk with him.

Of course, Lin Wuming wasn't "driven silly by confinement." At most, he had just suffered a bit of cultivation-related qi deviation.

After being reminded by the teacher, Lin Wuming finally came back to his senses, temporarily interrupted the calculation of the "application" in his brain, and returned to his usual reaction speed.

Seeing Lin Wuming suddenly "come alive" and become lively, the homeroom teacher was a little surprised, but didn't ask too much.

Lin Wuming was originally a student with many mysteries, and she didn't need to and didn't have the authority to interfere too much.

Fortunately, Lin Wuming was only "dull" for half a day. His sudden change didn't arouse the students' suspicion; they just thought it was the aftereffects of post-holiday syndrome.

Lin Wuming also smoothly integrated into his new class.

Of course, he continued to sit in his wheelchair and didn't directly stage a medical miracle. After all, it was really convenient, and it would be difficult to explain otherwise.

Most importantly, Lin Wuming's persona was now firmly tied to the wheelchair… one could even say that the wheelchair was his true form! If he suddenly stood up, it might cause people trouble instead.

So, Lin Wuming continued to play the role of a "disabled person with impaired mobility" and began his new school life.

Everything was so calm that Lin Wuming had the illusion that Academy City was truly a peaceful and serene city.

Also, as a side note, although he hadn't been formally appointed, Lin Wuming had effectively become the leader of all the Disciplinary Committee members at Sakugawa Middle School, the de facto head of Branch 177.

Thus, Lin Wuming's Disciplinary Committee activities quietly restarted.

Because of Lin Wuming as an "idol" and "role model," the members of Branch 177 were all very active and proactive, even no longer satisfied with the affairs within their original jurisdiction and began to expand their business to areas outside the school, quite like the Branch 177 in the original work.

On the third day of classes after the start of the new semester, near the end of the school day, Suwa Akiko suddenly approached Lin Wuming.

"Lin Wuming, we have something we want to discuss with you." The female student's face was tense, and her expression was a little nervous.

Behind her, in the direction of the classroom door, other figures wearing Disciplinary Committee armbands could be seen, craning their necks and peering into the classroom.

Lin Wuming understood—it seems this girl was chosen to come to me directly because she's in the same class as me.

"You guys… caused trouble?" Lin Wuming asked in a low voice.

Otherwise, there would be no need to be so cautious as Disciplinary Committee members.

"No, no!" Suwa Akiko quickly shook her head. "We're Disciplinary Committee members, how could we cause trouble?"

"It's just that we encountered a little problem. Please help us, Senior, at least give us some advice!" The girl put her hands together and bowed her head in request.

"I see…" Lin Wuming nodded, noticing that other students were curiously looking over. "Let's talk somewhere else."

With that, Lin Wuming pushed the joystick, driving his wheelchair out of the classroom.

Arriving at the "Disciplinary Committee Temporary Activity Room" specially allocated by the school, Lin Wuming noticed that a total of seven Disciplinary Committee members had followed him in.

Including himself, there were eight people in total, which was already more than half of the Disciplinary Committee members at Sakugawa Middle School.

—It seems they really encountered a big problem.

Lin Wuming became interested.

"Here's the thing," Suwa Akiko began to introduce the situation on behalf of everyone. "During our patrol, we discovered that a first-year student seems to be getting extorted by delinquents."

"There are delinquents in our school?" Lin Wuming asked in surprise.

With such a high density of Disciplinary Committee members at Sakugawa Middle School, how could there still be such creatures as delinquents? Even if there were, they probably wouldn't dare to expose themselves on campus.

"Not on campus, in the neighboring district…" the girl said softly.

The latest novels are available on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"No wonder…" Lin Wuming immediately understood. These guys were bold and daring, directly running to patrol areas outside the school.

"We didn't deliberately overstep our boundaries," Suwa Akiko said. "A classmate told us about the situation."

At this time, another Disciplinary Committee member said, "Yesterday, we followed them a little, and then we discovered…"

"We discovered that the kid was giving money to some delinquents!" Suwa Akiko took over the topic again.

Lin Wuming nodded: "So, they're being extorted off campus? So, what are you planning to do next?"

The Disciplinary Committee members looked at each other: "Actually, we plan to continue following them today, then save the person and arrest all those delinquents!"

"But, if we act without authorization like this, will we be criticized by the security teachers?" Because they were still new to the Disciplinary Committee, Suwa Akiko was unsure about such an overreach of authority.

It was because of such concerns that they couldn't make up their minds, so they decided to ask the experienced senior, Lin Wuming.

Lin Wuming clicked his tongue: "A very bold plan, but have you considered what to do if you encounter danger?"

Although they were Disciplinary Committee members, Suwa Akiko and the others were not high-level ability users—in fact, among everyone present, only Lin Wuming was a Level 3.

"We've all learned arrest techniques and self-defense techniques, so it should be fine, right?" Suwa Akiko said. "After all, the delinquents are basically all Level 0s, right? And they're all afraid of us Disciplinary Committee members…"

As she spoke, her voice became lower and lower. Obviously, she herself realized the problem and knew that their thinking was too naive.

"It's because we know there's danger that we came to Senior Wuming," a second-year student said quickly.

The others nodded together, looking at Lin Wuming with expectant eyes.
