A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 217 Detective Lin Wuming
"Calm down, Mr. Shibata Saburo," a security teacher said soothingly, "This student is just raising a possibility. Don't worry. We won't do anything to you until we have sufficient evidence."

"Evidence?" Shibata Saburo suddenly laughed. "Won't there be evidence once we get that 'psychological mastery'? There's no point in you saying this now!"

"..." The security teacher looked at him speechlessly, then shrugged at Lin Wuming and the others, "This... counts as his admission, right?"

It's no wonder that Saburo Shibata suddenly acted so defensively. After all, Academy City has a unique style of handling cases, and the intelligence and testimony obtained through "mind reading" can be used directly as evidence in court.

This alone is enough to make most suspects collapse.

After all, they themselves know best whether they have committed a crime. In the face of such unreasonable power as "superpowers", any sophistry and persistence are meaningless.

Not to mention the level 5 one, who is definitely the strongest mind-reading master, and no one can resist her ability.

If Shokuhou Misaki really comes, it will be meaningless for him to be tough or not.

"In other words, you admit that you stole the money and then made a false police report to mislead us?" The security teacher confirmed again and turned on the recorder to collect evidence.

At this time, Saburo Shibata finally calmed down a little from his emotional breakdown, but he also realized that the situation was hopeless - he had been in the business world for many years, but in the end he was cheated by this little brat!
But now, it was too late to regret. Even if they were boasting and couldn't bring in a Level 5 "psychic master," they could always find someone else with the ability to "read minds." Unless he immediately lost his memory and found a way to erase the relevant memories, there was no way he could escape the investigation.

From the outset, Shibata Saburo was gambling that he wouldn't be investigated for telepathy. After all, he was the caller, not the suspect. Furthermore, due to various regulations, the security forces were extremely cautious about using telepathy to investigate and collect evidence.

"This damn city!" At this point, Saburo Shibata could only curse this abnormal environment.

If it were any other city, as long as he was determined and refused to speak out, he would not have encountered such a predicament.

Or perhaps from the very beginning, a "big shot" like himself would not be forced to make a false report to the police.

"Damn it!" Shibata Saburo knelt on the ground with a look of frustration, pounding the ground with his fists and cursing over and over again, "Damn Academy City, damn espers, damn those stinky brats..."

However, at this time, even Tiger Bee Toumi didn't care about his curses of a loser.

The three members of the Discipline Committee all had an expression of "the case was successfully resolved", relaxed and proud.

"Student Wuming, well done!" Gufa Meiwei gave a thumbs up and praised generously.

Gufa Meiwei knew it all too well; Lin Wuming hadn't actually asked Shokuhou Misaki for help. Lin Wuming explained that the situation was still uncertain, so he decided to go to the scene and check on Shibata Saburo first.

As a result, after meeting the suspect, Lin Wuming actually used careful reasoning and powerful words to break down the suspect's psychological defenses in one fell swoop, forcing him to confess his crime!

Furthermore, going back further, the "liquid metal robot" hypothesis was also first noticed by Lin Wuming, and the student Jing Ce Kanqu who provided the important key clue was also found through Lin Wuming's connections...

It can be said that in this case, the most critical stage of solving the case was almost entirely driven by Lin Wuming's own efforts!

Gufa Meiwei was deeply impressed - she finally understood why Wuming was strongly recommended by the guard unit to join the discipline committee. It was not only his sense of justice and fighting ability, but his reasoning and solving ability was also excellent!
In fact, Gufa Meiwei felt that if Lin Wuming was not too old, he should have joined the guard force directly.

Only Lin Wuming himself knew best that all this was just a coincidence.

If solving the case was really that simple, there wouldn't be so many guards running around. However, Lin Wuming also had some personal thoughts and feelings.

Amidst Saburo Shibata's incessant cursing, Lin Wuming suddenly realized that Academy City was indeed a different place. Because of the existence of super powers, many aspects of this city were "abnormal".

Since "superpowers" are a normal, everyday part of Academy City, it's like having shortcuts and "cheating tools" when solving crimes.

Lin Wuming realized that Shokuhou Misaki, or any other person with the ability to "read minds", was really useful.

All you need to do is roughly identify a few suspects, and then ask someone with the ability to "read minds" to come and take a look.

——As long as someone possesses the ability of "Consultant Certificate", the information obtained through their super powers can be used directly as evidence.

There is no need to actually use the "mind reader" to take action. Just showing an attitude of "we are ready to use mind reading" can form a sufficient psychological deterrent to the suspect.

Just like Saburo Shibata this time, he collapsed and exposed himself.

And it's not just the "mind-reading ability", there's also Gufa Meiwei's "clairvoyance ability", which is also extremely useful in investigating and solving cases.

And the Discipline Committee's ability to track and locate the suitcase...

After introducing the "superpower" system, Lin Wuming found that solving cases had become completely different.

It's like in a detective puzzle game, frantically inserting all kinds of cheats will inevitably make the game difficulty drop sharply.

It seems that the chairperson who leads the entire discipline committee is equivalent to the player with the most cheat codes. It is no wonder that she is so actively involved in the case investigation.

Because of its super powers, it is really useful!

Just as the guards handcuffed Saburo Shibata and prepared to escort him to the police car, the "support" sent by the Chairman finally arrived.

A level 3 "telepath" person, who is affiliated with the Discipline Committee, but has also obtained the "consultant certificate" of the guard force and is also a long-term partner of the guard force.

Although she is not the level 5 Shokuhou Misaki, her actual role is no less effective.

After recognizing the reality and giving up resistance, Saburo Shibata cooperated very well and confessed the whole truth of the case.

Suddenly, the key word "underground arena" was heard in Shibata Saburo's confession, and Gufa Meiwei hurriedly pulled Lin Wuming and the others to follow, wanting to listen to the interrogation process.

Because they were the ones who solved the case, the security teacher just glanced at them and did not refuse them from attending the class.

"Underground Arena?" Gufa Meiwei approached the telepathic reader and asked quietly, "Is he related to the underground arena?"
