A Scientific Urban Detective

Due to the “main culprit” Lin Wuming being urgently sent to the hospital for treatment, and the undeniable injuries he sustained, he was able to avoid interrogation and investigation for the time being.

The “accessory” and “accomplice,” Hoshimi Toumi, seemed to be completely ignored, and she was free to enter and exit the hospital every day to visit Lin Wuming.

“Because those two hundred-plus children suddenly rushed to the streets for help, causing quite a stir, ‘Black Moon Technology’s’ illegal experiment project was exposed all at once.” In the hospital room, Hoshimi Toumi peeled an apple while recounting the news she had gathered.

There was a sequence of events. Because Lin Wuming was hospitalized for treatment first, instead of being taken away by the security forces for questioning, the news that first caught people's attention became the illegal experiment project, “Dark May Project.”

Under this premise, Lin Wuming, as a victim of the experiment project and the person who saved all the other experimental subjects, his identity also changed from “a murderer who killed dozens of people” to “a hero who rescued unfortunate children.”

“Is this also Teacher Kiyama’s arrangement?” Lin Wuming asked, “Things seem to be turning in my favor.”

“No,” Kiyama Harumi said as she pushed open the door and entered, “I didn’t do anything—because I am your guardian, and to avoid suspicion, I really can’t do anything.”

But in this situation, for the investigators of the case, the security forces, “doing nothing” was enough.

The security forces only needed to act strictly according to the regulations, without bias—just that alone was the greatest support for Lin Wuming.

Because in the end, the fault lay with the “Dark May” project, and illegal experiments were already a key target of the security department.

If the security forces had handled this incident, the only difference would probably be that they wouldn't have killed all the researchers, and the security forces themselves might have suffered casualties—after all, the strength of those armed security guards was not to be underestimated.

Lin Wuming's actions actually indirectly reduced their casualties.

The attitude of most security force teachers in private was also on Lin Wuming's side. Their only concern was that Lin Wuming and Hoshimi Toumi, these two teenagers, were too ruthless and created such a bloody scene, making people worry about whether there would be problems with their mental health.

“...So, psychological therapy will be arranged for you two, twice a week,” Kiyama Harumi said.

Hoshimi Toumi frowned: “Psychological therapy? No need, our mental state is very good, we don’t need any therapy.”

“That’s not up to you!” Kiyama Harumi said with a stern face, “Arranging a psychologist is also part of the case's disposal result, it is mandatory.”

“Psychological therapy is fine, anyway, I have to be hospitalized for treatment…” Lin Wuming didn't mind. Compared to going to prison or a juvenile reformatory, just receiving psychological therapy in the hospital was already a good result.

Moreover, he would not be able to be discharged from the hospital in the short term.

Perhaps because of the double injury, the fractures in Lin Wuming's hands and feet had become more serious, even alarming the frog-faced doctor Heaven Canceller to personally diagnose him.

Seeing this famous “miracle doctor” personally take action, Lin Wuming immediately felt relieved and was not worried about his injuries at all; but Heaven Canceller was very dissatisfied with his nonchalant attitude.

“If you still refuse to take care of your injuries properly, or just cut off your limbs and replace them with mechanical prosthetics, it would be more convenient.”

—That was Heaven Canceller's warning to him, half-threatening and half-serious.

“That’s fine,” Kiyama Harumi nodded, “You can stay in the hospital for a while, and it won’t be too late to be discharged after the situation has calmed down.”

After chatting, Kiyama Harumi began to talk about serious matters.

“Lin Wuming,” she showed a serious expression, raised her hand and looked at the time, “Prepare yourself, there will be an interview in an hour.”

“Huh? An interview?”

“Yes.” Kiyama Harumi nodded, “You are now the ‘hero’ who destroyed the illegal experimental institution and saved two hundred and thirty-four children. After the case was exposed, of course, the media is following up and reporting.”

“But…” Lin Wuming instinctively wanted to refuse. He was not someone who liked to show off, even in his previous life, he was low-key, or even a social recluse.

Becoming a “hero” and accepting interviews with reporters, just thinking about it made him feel a little apprehensive.

In comparison, Lin Wuming would rather find another illegal experimental institution and fight three hundred rounds.

“Unfortunately, you can’t refuse.” After spending some time together, Kiyama Harumi naturally understood Lin Wuming’s temperament, but she still said mercilessly, “This is part of the ‘price,’ you must appear in the media and become a ‘hero.’”

Kiyama Harumi said patiently: “Wuming, the light on you must be strong enough now to cover up those dark spots.”

Lin Wuming immediately understood her meaning. Being exposed as a “hero” in the eyes of the media and the public was also a means of protecting himself.

Although what Lin Wuming did was the right thing, killing was ultimately a sin, even if it was out of justice.

The security forces might not pursue the matter, but killing, especially killing so many people in one go, would be a dark history that Lin Wuming would forever bear, and it might be used by someone at some point to attack him.

Moreover, the illegal experimental institutions often involve deep connections, and simply destroying a laboratory itself does not mean that things are completely over.

The backers or key collaborators behind the illegal experimental institution may regard Lin Wuming as a thorn in their side, and may continue to attack him.

In this case, moderate exposure, using the public and public opinion to protect oneself is undoubtedly the wisest choice.

As Kiyama Harumi said, no matter what, Lin Wuming must become a “hero,” he could not refuse.

“Don’t worry, we have reviewed the interview content, you just need to tell the truth.” Kiyama Harumi instructed, “But remember, only the underground training ground part, because it involves confidentiality regulations, all content cannot appear in the interview, do you remember?”

Lin Wuming nodded, feeling a lot more relieved: “I see, so it’s a reporter who has been contacted beforehand?”

All the killings he committed were in the underground training ground. Since that place was designated as a confidential area, and no information was allowed to be interviewed and reported, it was equivalent to his identity as a “murderer” being kept secret as well.

Kiyama Harumi shook her head and said helplessly: “It’s not what you think, Wuming. On this matter, our security forces really didn’t favor you.”

After a slight pause, she smiled wryly: “What needs to be kept secret is the specific content of the illegal experiments, not the fact that you killed so many people there… understand?”
