A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 220 Helping with the Investigation
Hearing Gufa Meiwei's plea, Hufeng Toumi beside him couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

Of course, Hufeng Toumi actually didn't want Lin Wuming to be involved in this incident, because Lin Wuming looked very reluctant - Hufeng Toumi herself hated being forced to do something, and also hated Lin Wuming being forced to do anything; and Gufa Meiwei's relationship with them was not close enough to the point where she could help unconditionally.

But Hufeng Toumi agreed with Gufa Meiwei's evaluation of Lin Wuming.

From an observer's perspective, Lin Wuming's performance has always been consistent with the role of a famous detective.

"Please, Wuming! My former companions have also been dragged into the underground arena. If we don't take care of them, they might die in the competition!" Gufa Meiwei bowed deeply and begged, "As for the reward, I..."

At this point, Gufa Meiwei paused, thinking of the deposit amount in his account, and then thinking of the huge amount of money in billions involved in this "underground arena" case, he suddenly felt depressed.

But she didn't hesitate for too long. She just paused and continued smoothly: "Hei Qi and I will give you a number that satisfies you!"

"Stop, stop, stop," Lin Wuming interrupted her quickly, "Don't mention things like compensation anymore..."

Sighing helplessly, Lin Wuming said, "Let's first summarize the information we have now, and then I'll think about how to break through."

Gufa Meiwei's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed: "Wuming, you agreed? Thank you so much!"

As he spoke, he bowed deeply again. Thinking of Lin Wuming's previous title of "hero," he felt that it was indeed well-deserved—willing to help others without asking for any money or benefits, if that wasn't considered a hero, then who else could be considered one?

However, Lin Wuming also has his own considerations. If he charges a fee, it will become a job, and there will be pressure to "complete it".

To put it simply, it means "taking money from others to help them eliminate disasters."

Of course, he wouldn't be blamed if he took the money but didn't get the job done, but this didn't fit Lin Wuming's beliefs.

Most importantly, not receiving any compensation also means absolute freedom. Lin Wuming can say "no" at any time and refuse to continue with the commission.

Because Lin Wuming does not have any financial worries now, he pays more attention to this freedom and autonomy.

"Student Gufa, let me make it clear that I may not be able to find any valuable clues, so don't hold out too much hope." Lin Wuming took precautions in advance.

Gufa Meiwei nodded repeatedly, but his expression clearly showed that he didn't believe that Lin Wuming couldn't find out anything.

So, the three of them set up a temporary investigation center in an empty room in the Discipline Committee Headquarters and moved all the collected information into it.

Among them, the focus is the interrogation record of Saburo Shibata yesterday - he is the person who has provided the most intelligence so far.

According to Saburo Shibata, as far as he knows, the "underground arena" competition has been held six times, an average of once every two to three months, so there is the term "season".

However, before him, the organizer must have had other partners who provided prize money, so it can be judged that the competition must have been held more than six times.

This means that at least six final winners have emerged in the underground arena.

Moreover, in this kind of unrestricted and unregulated deathmatch, people with super powers naturally have an advantage. Therefore, the ultimate winner is likely to be a super power person.

A multi-billion dollar bonus... a superpowered person... a very capable superpowered person...

Lin Wuming asked, "Is there any way to find out who has suddenly become rich recently? It would be even better if they are very good at fighting."

"You mean, start the investigation with the winner of the underground arena?" Gufa Meiwei asked. "Right now, it seems this is the only way," Lin Wuming said. "Also, we can search the list of policyholders at Silver City Insurance Company. The winner should be the only one who survived and didn't receive compensation—of course, they probably didn't use their real identity information when they took out the insurance."

But at least it's an idea.

Moreover, Lin Wuming felt that the organizers might not be so meticulous. It was difficult to forge an identity in Academy City. Unless there was someone at the level of the Board of Directors, it would be extremely difficult to forge fake identities in such a high frequency and in large quantities, and to conceal it from the professional system of the insurance company.

"That makes sense. I'll check it out right away!" Gu Fameiwei ran out in a hurry.

I don't know how she got a hard drive through various channels, but she soon ran back excitedly with a hard drive.

"I'm about to get the information. Come take a look!" Gufa Meiwei said, "Also, the chairman said that we can focus on investigating this case and don't need to patrol the streets for the time being."

Now I know where the information came from... Lin Wuming also gained a little more confidence. With the support of the entire Discipline Committee, he could just find a similar direction to investigate. With a lot of investigation, he would eventually find something.

The investigation was carried out in an orderly manner. Not only Gufa Meiwei, Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi, but in fact, under the instructions of the chairman, many discipline committee members who were good at investigation also joined this work.

In less than a day, more than 300 insured competitors were screened - and their death certificates of "accidental death" were also found.

However, there has been no progress in finding information about the most crucial survivor, the ultimate winner of the underground arena.

At the same time, the security forces were also contacting the insurance company to conduct a secret investigation, and they did gain some results, but they were also unable to directly connect with the underground arena.

This made Gufa Meiwei even more anxious.

Until night fell, Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi were ready to go home after "get off work", but Gufa Meiwei decided not to go back tonight. She wanted to stay and continue investigating the information.

Seeing that she was so persistent, Lin Wuming did not try to persuade her much, but he also had no intention of "working overtime" with her.

"Tiger Bee, let's go back first." Lin Wuming called out.

Hufeng Toumi had long been impatient with these paperwork and fell asleep on the table halfway through.

Hearing Lin Wuming's call, the girl instantly woke up and shook her ponytail: "Okay, let's go!"

Gufa Meiwei sighed, but didn't say much. After all, this wasn't the Disciplinary Committee's job, and she couldn't force them to do their job properly.

"Wuming." On the way home, Hufeng Toumi suddenly spoke.

"I understand," Lin Wuming said, "You can do whatever you want tomorrow. I can accompany Gufa to investigate."

"How is that possible!" Tiger Bee Toumi responded without hesitation, "I was saying that we should get paid. It's really a loss to waste her time."

"It's not a loss, is it?" Lin Wuming couldn't help but smile. "If we do find out something here, it can be considered as helping Teacher Huang Quanchuan and the others."

Although he was afraid of trouble and didn't want to investigate further, to be fair, if something like the underground arena could be destroyed, Lin Wuming would definitely support it.

So, if you can help, please help...
