A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 211 Wrong Judgment
"So... what should we do next?" After finally finding a suspicious target, Gufa Meiwei frowned and asked in distress, "Should we go straight up, or notify headquarters? Or should we find the nearest security officer?"

The Discipline Committee members do not actually have the authority to conduct surprise searches outside the school area, but under normal circumstances, citizens will choose to cooperate and not take it so seriously.

Although Gufa Meiwei is the captain in name only, he is still a newcomer in essence, and he would feel unsure if he encountered such a situation.

"Why don't we just go over and ask him to open the box and check it?" Lin Wuming said.

Lin Wuming simply suggested a routine procedure: "Everyone does this."

Gufa Meiwei nodded: "That makes sense."

So she took the lead and walked towards the man in the white coat...

"No! You absolutely cannot open it!" The man held the suitcase in his arms, a look of nervousness and vigilance on his face. "Even if you are really members of the Discipline Committee, you cannot open it!"

"What do you mean even if it's true..." Gufa Meiwei pointed at his armband. "If you don't believe me, you can log on to the Discipline Committee website to verify. But before that, please open the box and let us inspect it. Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time, and we won't touch the contents—as long as there aren't any prohibited items."

The man hugged the suitcase tighter.

"It seems..." Gufa Meiwei pushed his glasses up, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, "Is there really something hidden inside that cannot be discovered?"

"Just grab the box and check it." Tiger Bee Toumi said from the side. Her hands were wrapped with ribbons, and she was ready to draw her sword at any time.

"Hey, are you really the discipline committee members?" The man became even more nervous, wondering if he was being held up by a robber.

Suddenly, he felt something light in his arms, as if the suitcase had lost its weight.

"Huh?" The man in the white coat looked down quickly, only to find that the suitcase was still intact in his arms, heavy and no different from before.

——How strange, was that an illusion just now?
"Hey," Lin Wuming suddenly called him, "What are you going to do after you get a large sum of money?"

"Huh? What?" The man in the white coat was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

"Sure enough..." Lin Wuming sighed softly - they were wrong, this man was probably misunderstood.

Just now, Lin Wuming used his telekinesis to weigh it. The suitcase only weighed 7.42 kilograms, which did not match the weight of million yen... At least it was impossible for all million yen to be in it.

Then Lin Wuming suddenly tried again, but the man was not moved at all by the keyword "money".

It was even more certain that the suitcase did not contain cash. Or perhaps the man himself did not know what was inside.

"What are you guys doing here?"

Suddenly, a figure in a navy blue uniform reached out and pressed Lin Wuming's shoulder.

Looking back, I saw that it was a four-member guard team that had arrived here at some point.

Perhaps noticing the conflict here, the security teacher came forward to inquire about the situation.

Gufa Meiwei briefly explained the situation.

"Huh? One hundred million yen in cash?" The man in the white coat suddenly shouted, "You must be joking! How could I possibly have that much money..."

"Then this suitcase..."

Not only Gufa Meiwei, but the security teachers who were passing by also became alert after noticing the suitcase - it was not similar to the suitcase that appeared in the surveillance footage, it was exactly the same!

Gufa Meiwei and the other three had only heard the description from the communicator, but the four security teachers had just left Yincheng Insurance Company. They had seen the surveillance video with their own eyes, so they were naturally more certain. "We must check!"

Seeing the guards had spoken, the man in the white coat dared not resist. On the one hand, he trusted the uniformed guards even more. As for the three clumsy boys and girls, he didn't believe they were actually the discipline committee members. At least, the discipline committee members wouldn't do something like "snatching in the street."

The man in the white coat still held the suitcase tightly. "I can accept an unpacking inspection, but it must be done in a vacuum and low-light laboratory environment."

According to his description, the box contained biological samples that he personally developed and cultivated, and they could not be exposed to the air.

At this point, Gufa Meiwei also realized that they might have mistaken their target and misunderstood others.

She noticed that Lin Wuming had been keeping his distance and did not step forward to fight for the box, so she quietly approached: "Wuming, did you find anything?"

"The weight of the box is wrong. It doesn't look like it contains 100 million yen in cash." Lin Wuming said.

"This kind of thing should have been told earlier!" Gufa Meiwei couldn't help but shout out.

"No, I just figured it out." Lin Wuming said, "Besides, I'm also very curious about what's in the superpower box that can stop you."

"So cunning, Wuming-san!"

Finding a suitable laboratory environment in Academy City wasn't difficult. With the help of the security forces, the group quickly found a suitable location nearby.

Under dim light, the silver-white suitcase was placed in an experimental box simulating a vacuum environment and opened remotely by a robotic arm.

As expected, there was no money in the box.

In fact, the entire interior of the box is almost filled with a flexible rubber material, leaving only space for a test tube in the center. The test tube contains the biological sample that the man in the white coat mentioned.

This shows that he did not lie.

Gufa Meiwei apologized to the other party very embarrassedly.

"No wonder I couldn't see through this box," Gufa Meiwei complained after returning to Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi, "It turns out this box is actually solid!"

In fact, she had seen all the contents of the box from the beginning, but she failed to recognize the essence of the contents, which led to her prejudgment.

The security teacher also apologized to the man in the white coat and thanked him for cooperating with the investigation.

The man in the white coat waved his hands repeatedly, without any intention of blaming: "If it weren't for the special nature of this sample that can't be opened casually, I wouldn't refuse your investigation..."

The leading security guard suddenly asked, "Think of it as meddling in your affairs, but could you please explain the nature of this biological sample?"

Inspecting dangerous goods is also one of the duties of the security force. Seeing the man in the white coat carefully preserving the sample in the test tube, her professional instinct made her ask this question.

I am worried that the test tube contains some dangerous bacteria or viruses.

"No, no, no, it's not dangerous!" The man in the white coat shook his head quickly. "It just has a short lifespan. Once exposed to light and air and becomes active, it will wither and decompose within an hour... This is the specimen I worked so hard to cultivate, and I was just about to use it to attract investors. How could I let it die so easily?"

"Artificially manipulated synthetic cells?"

"To be precise, it's a chimera formed by combining the cells of a certain fungus and a herbivore," the man in the white coat corrected. "It hasn't been officially named yet."
