Chapter 221 Explosion Attack Case
The next day, although very negative, Hufeng Toumi still cheered up and went to the headquarters with Lin Wuming.

They were greeted by Gu Fa Meiwei, who had stayed up all night investigating information.

Even wearing glasses couldn't hide the dark circles under her eyes.

But she is still young after all, and it is no problem for her to stay up all night occasionally. She can quickly adjust herself while drinking coffee and become full of energy again.

Seeing this, Hufeng Toumi, who had been drowsy all the time, also went to the vending machine and bought a can of black coffee.

In the end, he just took a sip and handed the coffee to Lin Wuming beside him with a frown.

"This is for you to drink!"

"I told you, you won't like this." Lin Wuming complained as he took the coffee.

"Mr. Gufa, have you made any progress in the investigation?"

Gufa Meiwei searched between his brows and said bitterly, "No. Although we found a few suspicious individuals, after verification, we found that they were all unrelated to the case. We need to continue investigating..."

Thinking that he would have to continue struggling in the vast ocean of information today, Lin Wuming felt heavy-hearted and couldn't help but take a big sip of coffee.

Just then, I heard a commotion in the corridor outside.

"Huh? That's the alarm," Gufa Meiwei stood up quickly, his expression serious. "Did something happen outside?"

At the same time, the three people's phones rang one after another, indicating that they all received the email at the same time.

Lin Wuming took out his cell phone to check.

This is a mass email sent by the Discipline Committee to all members. Its main purpose is only one - to remind, or warn all members to pay attention to safety!
Because since last night, there seems to have been a vicious attack on the Judgment Committee members in Academy City.

Initially, only two or three discipline committee members were injured and hospitalized during routine patrols. While this was a unique situation, it wasn't particularly surprising given the discipline committee's position. As a frontline member fighting crime, it was normal to be resented.

Therefore, this attack did not alarm too many people. They were admitted to the hospital for treatment according to normal procedures, and personnel were arranged to conduct a detailed investigation into their injuries.

However, the disciplinary committee members sent out to investigate also encountered the same type of attack and were even more seriously injured.

Then, this morning, another member of the Discipline Committee was attacked during morning exercise - she was not even wearing an armband at the time, and was just jogging as an ordinary citizen.

Then came the second, and the third...

"So far, eight similar attacks have occurred, resulting in a total of 59 victims—24 of whom are our Discipline Committee members, and the remaining victims are their friends and innocent citizens who were implicated nearby."

The chairman's voice echoed throughout the headquarters through the PA system.

"Why are there so many people injured?" Lin Wuming couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this number.

You have to know that the citizens in this city are very special. Most of the people with super powers of level 2 and above have their own ways to avoid danger. Even those with weak level 1 abilities or even level 0 abilities, because they have seen so many things, will make correct self-defense actions in time when encountering emergencies and seek shelter nearby.

Only newcomers to Academy City would get hurt because they were at a loss. "Who is the criminal?" Lin Wuming asked hurriedly, thinking of something. "How did they attack?"

He has attacked again and again, eight times in a row, but he has not been caught yet. It is obvious that the criminal is hiding in the dark and attacking, and there is a high probability that he has set a trap.

"Explosions," the chairman said succinctly. "All eight attacks were explosions, which is why so many casualties were caused."

The two most seriously injured disciplinary committee members are still in danger of death!

It can be said to be a very bad incident!
"It's true..." Lin Wuming was also thinking about the bomb attack. Otherwise, there was no reason why an average of seven or eight people would be injured in one attack.

"We have reason to believe that the perpetrators deliberately targeted our Discipline Committee members. Therefore, everyone should remain vigilant during patrols and daily life. Do not approach suspicious areas or touch suspicious objects without permission. In one of the attacks this morning, an explosive device disguised as a shopping bag was left on the roadside."

The chairman emphasized again, "We have already notified the security forces. They have arranged a professional bomb disposal team. If you find any object suspected of an explosive device, please notify the professionals immediately to deal with it. No one is allowed to approach without permission!"

In fact, the safest way to deal with the situation now is to stop all disciplinary committee activities, have all members take off their armbands, and avoid being exposed.

But this is obviously not an option that the Discipline Committee can accept.

Although it is only an autonomous organization formed by student volunteers, the Discipline Committee, as an officially recognized law enforcement agency, also has its own pride and persistence; plus, its members are all young and passionate students, so how could they be intimidated by the threats of criminals?
Therefore, even the chairman only issued a warning and reminded everyone to pay attention to safety, but did not announce the suspension of the discipline committee activities.

"How could this happen?" Gufa Meiwei crushed the coffee can in his hand, looked at the documents covering the table, then turned to look towards the door, feeling a bit dilemma for a moment.

Her "clairvoyance" is one of the most suitable abilities for detecting explosive devices. If the attacks on the Discipline Committee continue, then her ability will undoubtedly play a huge role.

However, regarding the investigation of the "underground arena"...

On one side are former friends, and on the other side are current companions.

Which side should I help first?

Snapped!
Lin Wuming's high five startled her.

"Student Gufa, don't get stuck on this," Lin Wuming said. "You're just one person, so of course there's a limit to what you can do. But don't forget, whether it's the 'underground arena' or the bombing, we're the entire Discipline Committee fighting against it."

Lin Wuming said: "So, believe in the organization and everyone's strength, and do your own thing well."

"Mr. Wuming is right!" The chairman's voice suddenly rang out again, "Gufa, I know you're anxious, but please remain calm."

After a brief pause, the chairman continued, "I suspect there is some connection between these two events."

"You mean," Lin Wuming asked, "the perpetrators of the bombing are related to the underground arena?"

"That's right," the chairman admitted, "otherwise there would be no reason for an attack on our members just when our investigation had just made progress!"

So, Gufa Meiwei made a decision: "Okay, I'll go out and investigate the explosion case."
