A Scientific Urban Detective

Because she was closest to the door, Misaka Mikoto proactively went to open it, unexpectedly seeing a familiar figure.

Misaka Mikoto looked at her roommate, then at Lin Wuming, and a look of realization dawned on her face: "You ran into Senior Wuming on the way, right? I told you to come up."

Early this morning, in order to rush to Family Side for breakfast, Misaka Mikoto woke up very early. Seeing her senior's expectant look, Shirai Kuroko offered to escort her. At that time, Misaka Mikoto asked her to come up together, but Shirai Kuroko refused.

Shirai Kuroko said seriously: "After all, this is Senior Wuming's home. I think it's more appropriate to visit after you and Senior have discussed it."

"Come in quickly," Misaka Mikoto said, "The breakfast at home is plentiful, and I'm having a headache trying to finish it by myself."

"Then I'll intrude." Shirai Kuroko didn't dwell on it too much and walked into the house decisively.

At this moment, Kohachi Mitsubachi walked out of the bathroom with a body full of moisture: "Wuming, you're back so soon?"

"I haven't had time to go to the supermarket yet, I just brought a guest back." Lin Wuming turned his head to look.

"Shirai-san, welcome, welcome." Noticing the visitor, Kohachi Mitsubachi showed a rare smile.

"Uh… Good morning, Senior Kohachi." Shirai Kuroko looked at Kohachi Mitsubachi with admiration.

Compared to Misaka Mikoto, Kohachi Mitsubachi seemed more like the master of this house—no, she originally lived here.

Having fully learned from Yomikawa Aiho, Kohachi Mitsubachi, fresh from her shower, wasn't particularly guarded, simply wrapping herself in a bath towel.

"My morning exercise just finished, I'll go out with you later," Kohachi Mitsubachi said.

"Okay." Lin Wuming responded, then looked at the other two, "Mikoto, Shokuhou, do you want to come along too…"

"Yes, yes!" Misaka Mikoto raised her hand quickly, but then remembered Shirai Kuroko beside her and hesitated.

"It's okay, I'll go with Senior Misaka." Shirai Kuroko seemed very sensible.

Shokuhou Misaki lazily propped herself up from the sofa: "Okay, I'll go out too…"

—Because Kohachi Mitsubachi suddenly decided to move back in, it meant I had to wake up early too, which is really annoying…

Every day after breakfast, Shokuhou Misaki would rest on the sofa like this for a while; while Kohachi Mitsubachi had her unwavering morning exercise routine, so they always missed Lin Wuming's time for grocery shopping.

However, today, due to some unexpected events, everyone happened to have time to go out together.

"By the way," Shirai Kuroko looked left and right, then lowered her voice and asked, "Senior Misaka, where's Teacher Yomikawa?"

The true owner of this house was nowhere to be seen. According to etiquette, for a first visit, one should always greet the host.

"Teacher Yomikawa left very early," Kohachi Mitsubachi answered her, "The security forces have been very busy lately."

"That's certainly true." Shirai Kuroko immediately agreed, "The Disciplinary Committee's activities are also much busier than usual."

"Is that so?" Kohachi Mitsubachi looked at Lin Wuming with some doubt.

"Maybe?" Lin Wuming scratched his head, "It seems like that's the case."

Looking at the two Disciplinary Committee seniors she admired, Shirai Kuroko sighed silently from the bottom of her heart.

It could only be said that Lin Wuming and Kohachi Mitsubachi were exceptions and had now separated from the ordinary Disciplinary Committee group.

Some trivial matters, such as routine patrols, would not be assigned to them.

"Speaking of this," Shirai Kuroko looked at Lin Wuming, "Senior Wuming, shouldn't we go check out Misawa Cram School?"

"You really did hear about it." Lin Wuming said with a wry smile.

Lin Wuming had originally planned to gloss it over. Misawa Cram School did have problems, but someone would naturally deal with it when the time came…

But looking at Shirai Kuroko's expression, if he really didn't care, this girl might go into action herself.

You should know that in the original work, Disciplinary Committee member Shirai Kuroko was known for her sense of justice and initiative.

"Misawa Cram School?" Catching the keyword, Shokuhou Misaki suddenly woke up, her gaze like lightning, sweeping towards Lin Wuming.

—Tsurigane Teahouse? In a place I don't know about, there's actually a woman with ill intentions approaching Senior Wuming? It seems Senior Wuming really can't be left alone…

"Senior Wuming, you're far too lenient with women, aren't you?" After quickly searching for relevant memory information, Shokuhou Misaki commented unceremoniously, "You actually let Tsurigane Teahouse off so easily?"

"She hasn't done anything to harm our interests yet," Lin Wuming said.

"Huh? What happened again?" Misaka Mikoto asked quickly.

The situation just now made it clear—this queen bee must have directly read information from Senior Wuming's mind again.

This wasn't something that needed to be strictly kept secret, so Lin Wuming explained what happened when he met Tsurigane Teahouse on the road.

"Is that Tsurigane Teahouse really trustworthy?" Kohachi Mitsubachi also found the person who approached Lin Wuming while disguising her identity to be very suspicious.

"She may have her own secrets, but she shouldn't be harmful to us," Lin Wuming said.

"Can't be too dogmatic and rigid," Shokuhou Misaki certainly knew that Lin Wuming's judgment was based on the original plot, but reality was different from the original work, "I'll have a chance to check her out…"

"I'll go with you." Kohachi Mitsubachi said immediately after.

"Be careful," Lin Wuming only instructed, "Also pay attention to the other party's safety. We don't need to make enemies for no reason right now."

"Don't worry," Shokuhou Misaki said, "We're not the kind of people who start wars with others for no reason… well, at least I'm not."

Kohachi Mitsubachi might really have a big fight with that ninja.

"So, are we going to investigate Misawa Cram School?" Misaka Mikoto's focus was on another aspect.

"Don't rush," Lin Wuming shook his head, "That should just be a cram school suspected of illegal courses. Strictly speaking, it's not within the scope of our Disciplinary Committee's management."

This was a reminder to Shirai Kuroko not to act impulsively on her own.

"I'll notify the security forces and the regulatory department of off-campus training institutions and let them send people to check it out first," Lin Wuming proposed his plan.

If Misawa Cram School had already been occupied by the alchemist Aureolus Izzard, as in the original plot, then it would be safest to have ordinary people's regulatory agencies conduct a surprise inspection.

After all, Aureolus didn't want to easily expose his existence. If it was just ordinary people going for a routine inspection, there was no need for him, the mastermind BOSS, to personally take action.
