A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 205 A Really Serious Case

"Underground gladiatorial arena? Are there really such exaggerated competitions?"

In Huang Quanchuan Aihui's office, Lin Wuming and Hu Feng Toumi also learned the specific content of the "interrogation" just now.

They were both surprised by this, but they quickly accepted it.

In Lin Wuming's opinion, this was Academy City after all, so anything that happened wasn't surprising. Even in other ordinary cities, there were underground boxing matches, let alone a metropolis like Academy City.

Besides, it is hard to say which one is more inhumane, the underground gladiatorial arena where the lives of the competitors are at stake, or the illegal experimental institution that uses humans as experimental subjects.

"They actually went to the gun bank just to collect the bounty..." Lin Wuming felt speechless. During the previous battle, he thought that the trio were not stupid, and were even quite smart and cunning.

But now it seems that what kind of brain circuit can come up with this method?

"It's said that a member of their club, SKILL OUT, was dragged into that underground arena and has since disappeared," Yomikawa Aiho said. "They were trying to gather intelligence about the underground arena in order to rescue their companions."

In fact, professional matters should be left to professionals. Hattori Hanzo, who was born as a ninja, was a master at gathering intelligence.

In fact, he had already collected all the information he could find on the market, which was why he was able to confirm the existence and basic operating model of the "underground arena".

What remains is how to find this underground arena and sneak in to search for the missing companions.

This is not something that can be covered by "urban legend" level intelligence.

Due to the leader's personality, SKILL OUT cannot have as many friends as "Big Spider" and have many personal connections to borrow from.

The "Big Spiders" under the leadership of Kurozuma Mianliu can barely be classified as an "unregistered enthusiast club". The biggest "evil" they have committed is staying out all night and then gathering to race cars on empty streets. Strictly speaking, they have not engaged in any illegal or criminal activities.

Otherwise, Gufa Meiwei would not have joined in the first place.

But SKILL OUT was different. Even though they were only committing the lame crime of "stealing iron plates" and reselling them, it was still a crime. Furthermore, because their fundraising method was so foolish, even other similar criminal groups looked down on them.

This resulted in SKILL OUT being a loner and having no friends even among many "armed powerless groups".

The reason why they were not bullied by their "peers" was entirely due to the fact that their leader, Komaba Reido, was a good fighter and had a strong deterrent effect.

So, naturally, at this time, they could not get effective intelligence support from other societies.

In desperation, they could only choose the most direct and brutal method - offering a large reward and soliciting intelligence.

Then, things developed like this.

"...Anyway, this is the truth." Yomikawa Aiho said, "We will continue to follow up on the investigation. Thank you two for what happened today."

"Don't worry, it's just a small favor." Lin Wuming said, "If you need help in the future, you can come to us directly."

Tiger Bee Toumi also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Mr. Huang Quanchuan, Wuming and I will help."

Despite failing to defeat Hattori Hanzo and even suffering a minor setback at his hands, which left Tiger Bee Toumi feeling unhappy, she was generally quite satisfied with today's activities. Compared to the Judgment Committee activities, which consisted of patrolling the streets all day, helping people find things, giving directions, and so on... The thrill of combat was definitely more suited to her.

——Even if it’s Wuming, he would definitely be more willing to fight, right?

Tiger Bee looked at Lin Wuming through the honey, but saw that his eyes were empty and he was daydreaming. He didn't know what he was thinking.

"By the way, is Tiger Bee-san planning to go back home?" Aiho Yomikawa asked again.

"Yes." Tiger Bee Toumi nodded, "We are going to go back and do some cleaning because Mr. Sakurai may be coming home soon."

After thinking for a moment, Tiger Bee Toumi added, "Of course, Wuming and I will still go back tonight. Besides, I may have to continue to disturb Mr. Huangquanchuan for a while before Mr. Sakurai fully recovers."

"Don't worry, you can stay as long as you want," Yomikawa Aiho waved her hand nonchalantly, "I'll have Tetsuzo-sensei take you there later. The things you bought are still in my car."

At the beginning, Toumi Hufeng moved into Aiho Yomikawa's house mainly for the purpose of finding a strong guardian for her to prevent this mentally unstable girl from going berserk again.

This is actually a disguised "restraint" measure; therefore, strictly speaking, even if Dr. Sakurai recovers, it will not be so easy to regain custody.

Of course, considering that Hufeng Toumi has been behaving well recently, has a stable mood, and has also joined the Discipline Committee, it can be judged that she will not lose control easily again, and it may not be impossible to let her go home.

"We're leaving first, Teacher Huang Quanchuan." Lin Wuming said goodbye to her again at the door before leaving the office.

"Yeah, be careful on the road." Aiho Yomikawa nodded.

Their eyes met, and then naturally separated.

After they left, Huang Quanchuan Aihui exclaimed in amazement: "Sure enough, I still can't get away with it..."

A colleague next to him asked, "What did Mr. Huang Quanchuan say that he couldn't get away with?"

"Of course it's about that underground arena," said Yomikawa Aiho. "Although I tried to change the subject naturally, Wuming still noticed it."

She just said it lightly, as if the "underground arena" was just a footnote to the ATM theft, but in fact, it was just the opposite.

The three stupid thieves of SKILL OUT will not receive too severe punishment - after all, all the stolen money has been recovered, and they actively cooperated in admitting their mistakes and repenting, so they can be given a lighter sentence.

The "underground arena" that they involved is the real big boss.

A colleague has just started investigating the relevant information about the "underground arena". A lot of information that was previously ignored has finally been connected with the help of this intelligence.

Apart from anything else, based on the intelligence that has been sorted out so far, there are at least thirty cases of missing persons and "accidental deaths" that have reason to be suspected to be related to the "underground arena"!
There is no doubt that this will be another major case, and the security forces will definitely get to the bottom of it.

Before that, Huang Quanchuan Aihui was worried that Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi would not be able to help but want to intervene to help.

After all, Lin Wuming is a "hero", so maybe he will take action?
