A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 213: Suspects' Warning

As she spoke, Hufeng Toumi had already reached the wall and leaned against it, attempting to imitate the movements on the computer screen. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull off that movement—moving with one side of her body completely pressed against the wall, and her feet moving in a nearly straight cat-like gait—which defied the laws of physics, not to mention carrying a suitcase on the other side.

So, there is only one possibility - superpowers.

In Academy City, anything that cannot be explained by common sense has an ultimate answer - superpowers.

This is also the characteristic of Academy City - superpowers are like a basket, anything can be thrown into it...

Therefore, Hufeng Toumi reasonably speculated that the thief this time was a person with super powers. He used some kind of super power effect to allow himself to move along the wall...

"That's about right," the security teacher fast-forwarded the video to the later part. "We think it's definitely related to superpowers, but..."

In the video, the thief came to the large trash can in the bathroom, threw the silver suitcase in, and then took off his clothes and threw them away.

Under the black robe used for camouflage, there was actually a silver-white body shining with metallic luster!

Recalling what the guard teacher had said just now, "prisoners are not human beings," Lin Wuming and the others immediately understood.

——The “person” who left with the suitcase was actually just a stand-in made of unknown material.

"We judged that this was some kind of liquid metal."

As the security teacher explained, I saw the human figure in the picture suddenly melt, "collapse" downwards into a pool of liquid, and finally flow down the drain and disappeared...

"No wonder, we found this suspect no matter what..." muttered another security teacher.

"Yes. Because it's not human at all."

The security teachers exchanged glances, each revealing a bitter expression. This was a common occurrence when investigating crimes in Academy City. Because of the existence of superpowers, there were always all sorts of criminal methods and techniques that defied ordinary people's imagination...

This is also the reason why the male guard agreed to let Lin Wuming and others intervene - the case is related to superpowers, and maybe they will need the help of the Discipline Committee?

"Wuming!" Tiger Bee Toumi gently poked Lin Wuming's flank with his finger and whispered, "This ability..."

Lin Wuming knew what she meant and nodded: "Have you thought of it too?"

Noticing their little movements, the security teacher looked over and said, "Student Lin Wuming, do you have any clues?"

Lin Wuming thought about it and decided to speak: "It's not a clue, but I know a girl with similar superpowers, so I was thinking if I could ask her for advice."

"The same type of superpower..." Another teacher who was looking up information in the library took over the conversation, "Are you referring to 'liquefied human figure'?"

As expected, any superpower that has been clearly demonstrated will be recorded in the library.

On the day of rescuing Dolly from the talent workshop, Jingce fought a fierce battle with the puppet that once controlled her, and her abilities were completely exposed from that time on.

It was also at that time that Tiger Bee Toumi remembered her superpowers.

So, the group went straight to the hospital - at this time, Jingce Kanqu should still be in the hospital.

It’s not that she has any unhealed physical problems, she is simply accompanying and protecting Dolly.

Because of Dolly's special situation, Keisaku Kantor and Shokuhou Misaki didn't dare to fully trust the hospital's security measures, so they agreed to take turns caring for her. Shokuhou Misaki had a lot of things to do, so most of the time, Keisaku Kantor was the one who took care of Dolly, and she simply stayed in the same ward.

Only when Dolly fully recovers and is discharged from the hospital will Jingce Kanqu leave with her.

With police cars leading the way, Lin Wuming and his team quickly arrived at the hospital, and under the guidance of Hu Feng Toumi, they found the ward where the police officer was.

"...Hahahahaha, I'm rich now!" Before the door even opened, a girl's loud laughter came from inside the room. "I'm rich, Dolly! From now on, you don't have to worry about that queen bee's mood anymore. I can take care of you myself!"

When the people outside the door heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other strangely.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Wuming raised his hand and opened the door of the ward.

I saw a purple-haired girl standing on the hospital bed, one foot on a small silver suitcase, with her hands on her hips and laughing triumphantly.

On the floor beside the bed, there was a silver-white doll about half a meter tall, posing in the same posture as the girl, looking up at the sky and laughing wildly.

"..."

Lin Wuming lowered his head, held his forehead and sighed.

"Oh my, oh my..." Gufa Meiwei also showed a subtle expression.

Noticing someone suddenly breaking into the ward, Jingce Kandu's smug laughter stopped abruptly, the expression on his face seemed to freeze, and he turned to look towards the door.

Silence fell on the ward.

After a while, the adult security teacher took the lead in breaking the deadlock: "Uh...how should I put it? The similarity is so great that it's not so suspicious."

A liquid metal doll, a silver suitcase, and a girl laughing wildly, claiming to be "rich"...

Almost all the elements are gathered together. At first glance, it seems that he is the thief who stole 100 million from the insurance company!

"Don't talk nonsense, are you kidding me? I didn't steal any money!" After hearing the security teachers' explanation of their purpose, Jingce Kanqu suddenly jumped up, "There are only 20 million in my box..."

Indeed, if you look closely, you can see that the suitcase under Jingce's feet is a size smaller - it is impossible to fit 100 million yen in cash into this size.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Jingce Kanqu quickly hugged the suitcase in his arms and looked at the uninvited guest with vigilance: "Are you here to confiscate my money?"

Because the girl's movements and postures were exactly the same as those of the man in the white coat not long ago, Gufa Meiwei and the security teachers couldn't help laughing.

"Calm down, Jingce," Dolly, who was sitting on the other bed, said with a smile, "Sensei won't do that. And Wuming-senpai is here too. He won't let us get hurt."

According to the security teacher's request, Jingce Kanqu agreed to open the box for them to check.

The suitcase was indeed filled with bundles of 10,000 yen in cash, and the total amount was indeed only 20 million.

But the question is, how did a girl of twelve or thirteen get so much money?
"I earned this with my own wisdom." Jingce Kanqu quickly closed the box and held it in his arms again.
