A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 206 Cake Doesn’t Equal Dinner

Huang Quanchuan Aihui's worries are not unreasonable. Although this is not the "illegal experiment" case that Lin Wuming is most concerned about, if the standards are relaxed, the underground arena is actually quite similar to "illegal experiments" - it all depends on how you understand it.

Judging from the conversation just now, Lin Wuming did realize this.

However, what makes people feel reassured is that Lin Wuming tacitly remained silent and did not mention the matter on his own initiative, which also made his attitude clear.

Otherwise, if it was Tiger Bee Toumi who noticed the "underground arena", perhaps she would have intervened more actively.

——After all, this girl looked very belligerent.

"Wuming." After leaving the police station and arriving at their original destination—Dr. Sakurai's residence, Hufeng Toumi suddenly said, "Just now..."

"What's wrong?" Lin Wuming put down the shopping bag in his hand and asked while looking at the layout of the room.

"The underground arena that Mr. Huang Quanchuan mentioned just now..."

"So you noticed it too." Lin Wuming looked at the girl.

"Of course." Tiger Bee Toumi glared at him, "How could I not have noticed something so obvious?"

"That's true." Lin Wuming nodded, but had no intention of continuing the topic. He asked, "Where should we start? Do you have a vacuum cleaner at home?"

"Wuming!" Tiger Bee Toumi reached out and grabbed his shoulders. "Aren't you... going to do something?"

"Why do you ask?" Lin Wuming asked in surprise, then he realized a little, "Huh? Do you think I should investigate the 'underground arena' incident?"

As a result, Tiger Bee Toumi also looked surprised: "So Wuming is not interested? I thought..."

Lin Wuming smiled bitterly and said, "Why should I be interested? Besides, it's not an illegal experiment case..."

Although the underground gladiatorial games are bloody and cruel, in the final analysis, the vast majority of contestants are attracted by the high prize money, and there is a certain "voluntary" element in it.

Therefore, in Lin Wuming's opinion, they could not be considered complete "victims", so naturally there was no need for him to go out of his way to save them...

But in the final analysis, Lin Wuming just didn't want to meddle in other people's business. Moreover, this was a very troublesome and difficult case at first glance. The amount involved alone was in the billions, which was not something that a "former hero" like him could handle.

The most important thing is that there is no relevant original information to refer to in Lin Wuming's memory.

Without a "prophetic prediction", it would be impossible to directly identify the culprit, and it would be impossible to get to the heart of the matter and cut the Gordian knot as in previous incidents.

Putting aside the inefficiency, the more troublesome thing is that it is difficult to tell who is the enemy and who is the good guy - among the many competitors taking part in the gladiatorial contest, there may be some who have been bribed by the organizers and become accomplices.

Of course, there are certainly victims among the competitors who were forced into this; but there are probably more “neutral” contestants who are there simply to win the prize money…

We can't just kill them all in one go like we did at the Black Moon Technology underground training ground, right?
Besides, these were all competitors participating in an indiscriminate deathmatch, so they were definitely confident in their own abilities. If they were to fight a group of people like that, it was uncertain who would live and who would die! Lin Wuming wasn't confident enough to think he was invincible.

All the above concerns are the reasons why Lin Wuming is unwilling to intervene in this incident.

...But these are just excuses. In the final analysis, he simply doesn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Lin Wuming has not forgotten his original intention and still wants to maintain his low-key life.

Therefore, apart from "illegal experiment cases" where he really couldn't stand it and had to take action to save people, he had no intention of expanding his "business scope".

"Based on the intelligence we have so far, we can conclude that the underground arena is run by a large-scale organization, and undoubtedly possesses considerable power and influence—otherwise, it would be impossible for it to remain undetected by the security forces for so long," Lin Wuming explained. "A target of this magnitude is beyond the ability of you and me to handle. So, let's trust the security guards."

Tiger Bee Toumi didn't insist: "Since Wuming said so, then just leave it alone."

In truth, Hufeng Toumi had no interest in matters unrelated to her. Her previous willingness to act as a "hero's partner" and participate in various events alongside Lin Wuming was purely motivated by a desire to partner with him and accompany him. Now that Lin Wuming himself had expressed no interest, Hufeng Toumi naturally decided not to meddle in his affairs.

Next, Lin Wuming gave Dr. Sakurai's house a thorough "whirlwind cleanup", while Hufeng Toumi went into the kitchen to bake a cake.

It was not until night fell that after eating the cake and cleaning the kitchen, Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi locked the doors and windows and returned to Family Side Huang Quanchuan Aihui's apartment.

Because she needs to investigate the "Underground Arena" case, Yomikawa Aiho has to work overtime tonight and will not be back for dinner, and may not even be able to have a midnight snack at home.

After hearing this news from the neighbor’s security teacher, Lin Wuming returned home and collapsed on the sofa, not wanting to move anymore.

"The job of a security guard is really hard." Lin Wuming began to doubt whether becoming a security guard would be a suitable choice for him in the future.

Hufeng Toumi brought the two large bags of food into the kitchen, then returned to the living room and made a cup of tea for Lin Wuming.

"Thank you." Lin Wuming happily took the tea, and then his telepathic ability was ready to turn on the TV and connect the game console.

Seeing the game controller in the drawer being slowly moved out, Tiger Bee Toumi frowned: "Wuming, Huang Quanchuan Aihui will not be back for dinner today."

"Yeah, I heard it just now." Lin Wuming nodded repeatedly.

"So you don't have to wait for her for dinner tonight." Tiger Bee Toumi said almost explicitly, "So, you can prepare it now."

The girl looked at Lin Wuming, then turned to look towards the kitchen. The meaning was self-evident.

"Huh?" Lin Wuming looked surprised. "Didn't we already eat cake? Five whole cakes! Such huge cakes!"

As he spoke, Lin Wuming gestured with his hands to show the size of the mouth of a bowl.

To be honest, when they were at Dr. Sakurai's house before, Lin Wuming was surprised that the two of them could eat so much cake.

He didn't feel hungry at all at this moment. In addition, he learned that Huang Quanchuan Aihui would not be coming home for dinner, so Lin Wuming simply thought about skipping dinner tonight.

Unexpectedly, the girl Hufeng Toumi urged herself to prepare dinner again.

"Cake?" Tiger Bee Toumi tilted her head and asked, "But that's a dessert."

"Snacks and dinner are two different things." The girl's expression was very serious.

"You...can still eat?" Lin Wuming asked.

"Yes."

Seeing the girl’s genuine expression, Lin Wuming could only sigh in his heart - is this what girls often say, “The dessert is in another stomach”?

I originally thought it was just a joke, but now it seems that, at least for Tiger Bee Toumi, it is a fact.

But when I think about the powerful fighting ability of the tiger bee, eating so much seems to be no problem.
