A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 210 Suspicious Target
"That's why I specifically placed you in this crucial position!" the operation's commander said. "Student Gufa, please, demonstrate the strength of our Discipline Committee!"

"Gufa...how strong is senior sister?" Hufeng Toumi looked over in surprise. Although it was a bit rude, to be honest, she didn't think Gufa Meiwei was very "strong".

At least in terms of "combat power" and "lethality", this senior is just at the level of an ordinary person.

Although he knew that Gufa Meiwei was a level 3 powerful ability user, Hufeng Toumi was not sure what his specific abilities were.

Moreover, not every level 3 is as good at fighting as Lin Wuming.

"My ability is level 3 'clairvoyance'." Gufa Meiwei didn't get angry at her attitude. She simply pushed her glasses and explained, "I think this kind of investigation work is just right for me. That's why the chairman placed me in a key position, right?"

"I see." Tiger Bee Toumi nodded repeatedly, expressing his deep agreement.

"Strength" does not necessarily mean "combat effectiveness," and superpowers cannot only be used for fighting; diverse applications like this are where the true value of superpowers lies.

In the system of discipline committee members and guard forces, "clairvoyance" can be said to be one of the most practical superpowers - if ranked, it would definitely be in the top three.

It can be said that it is precisely because of this "ability of perspective" that Gufa Meiwei has received special attention from the chairman, and now the most critical task has been entrusted to her.

However, superpowers such as "clairvoyance" and "mind reading" are similar in nature and are abilities that can easily offend and cause displeasure, and are often met with vigilance or even malice and hostility from others in daily life.

Therefore, Gufa Meiwei would deliberately avoid exposing his abilities.

But...Gufa Meiwei looked at her two companions beside her - Wuming and Hufeng, and felt that there should be no problem.

Without further elaboration on this topic, Gufa Meiwei immediately assumed his "captain" responsibilities: "Alright, let's rush to the designated location immediately! When the time comes, if there are any suspicious people or packages, I will use my super powers to take a look..."

This task is not difficult at all - for a person with "clairvoyant" super powers.

In the world of superpowers, solving cases is as simple as that. In fact, if it weren't for the insurance company's Executive Vice President, Saburo Shibata, who possessed an undisputed alibi, the security forces would have even considered asking Special Advisor Shokuhou Misaki to perform a lie detector test...

After arriving at the block where the insurance company was located, Gufa Meiwei immediately started working.

She pushed up her glasses from time to time - this was her subconscious preparation for activating her superpowers.

"No... no... this one isn't either..."

Gufa Meiwei was like a human X-ray machine, staring wide-eyed and "scanning" every person he saw.

"Wow..." She suddenly took off her glasses and rubbed her eye sockets vigorously, "I should prepare some eye drops..."

Although activating the "perspective ability" will not cause additional burden on the eyes, it is still dry and uncomfortable to stare at the front with eyes wide open all the time.

"Student Gufa, you don't have to work so hard." Lin Wuming shook his head, "There's no need to check every single person."

"Not every single one of them," Gufa Meiwei waved his hand. "I wasn't looking at human bodies, but the packages and similar items they were carrying."

Although this can reduce the number of inspection targets by more than half, the remaining number is still a considerable one.

As I've said before, this is Academy City, and there are far too many people carrying backpacks, handbags, or suitcases. These are all potential suspects, and even if Gufa Meiwei is dazzled, it's impossible to scan them all.

Lin Wuming continued, "One hundred million yen in cash is a considerable sum of money—not just in terms of the amount, but also in terms of physical size. I checked, and one hundred million yen in cash weighs over ten kilograms."

"I understand!" Gufa Meiwei's eyes lit up. "Normally, even if ordinary citizens carry bags when going out, they wouldn't carry such heavy things. So, I only need to focus on checking those packages that look very heavy..."

After this round of screening, Gufa Meiwei's workload was reduced again.

Furthermore, Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi would help screen suspicious targets—after determining which person's package was heavier, Gufa Meiwei would use his superpowers to conduct a focused inspection...

This went on and on, and to passers-by who were not aware of the situation, it seemed as if the three discipline committee members were doing nothing and were just slacking off, wandering back and forth on the same section of road.

But in fact, Gufa Meiwei wanted to vomit after using her super power - this was the first time she used her "clairvoyance" at such a high density, and it seemed that her skill proficiency had improved a lot.

If superpowers could be upgraded through accumulated proficiency, Gufa Meiwei felt that it would not be impossible for him to be promoted to level 4 today.

"No... I still can't find it!" Gufa Meiwei complained as he closed his eyes to rest. "Even if I had my superpowers, searching aimlessly like this is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack, right?"

"Besides, so much time has passed," Tiger Bee Toumi also said, "The criminal may have escaped long ago and would not be waiting for us here..."

Just as he was halfway through his words, Hufeng Toumi suddenly grabbed Lin Wuming's arm and said, "Wuming, look at that man!"

Without pointing rashly, Tiger Bee Toumi cautiously signaled with his eyes.

Fortunately, Lin Wuming had been with her day and night for a period of time, and could understand Hu Feng Toumi's temperament, personality and thinking mode to some extent.

Following the girl's gaze, Lin Wuming immediately noticed a man in a white coat.

The man was walking hurriedly, carrying a heavy silver suitcase.

However, the suitcase was obviously very heavy, and his upper body involuntarily tilted to the other side to balance the weight of the suitcase.

"Student Gufa..." Lin Wuming called softly.

"Understood!" Gufa Meiwei, who had also cooperated tacitly, immediately pushed up his glasses and looked over...

"Huh? I can't see through it!" Gufa Meiwei exclaimed in surprise. "That box is very strange. It looks almost like a solid cube, with only a small gap in the center..."

Probably like lead plates can block X-rays, "clairvoyance" can also be blocked by certain materials - it's not surprising that such materials appear in Academy City.

However, in this situation, the point of "not being able to see through" becomes the most suspicious point, which is like trying to cover up one's own mistake.
