A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 222 Lure the snake out of its hole
After hearing that the explosion was related to the underground arena, Gufa Meiwei immediately made a decision to go out and investigate the serial explosions in person.

It's still like looking for a needle in a haystack, but rather than sitting here reading documents, going out to search for bombs is a better way to use your "perspective ability".

As members of the same team, Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi naturally acted together - even Lin Wuming was fed up with investigating documents day and night.

Gufa Meiwei has the ability to see through things and thinks he can detect bombs in advance and avoid risks.

Lin Wuming had "bullet time" as a backup, just in case he encountered a fatal crisis. If he did encounter an explosion, he would be at the forefront and be able to deal with it immediately.

As for the Tiger Bee Honey, she was not very interested in this mission, but she would act with Lin Wuming unconditionally, and she felt that she had battlefield experience, so she was not so afraid of bombs. She just felt a headache because she had to take care of two other battlefield rookies.

Just like that, the three of them, each with their own plans, walked out of the headquarters building wearing armbands in broad daylight and began patrolling in a very high-profile manner.

"But where can we find the bomb?" asked Gufa Meiwei.

Most of the other discipline committee members took off their armbands and kept a low profile to avoid being targeted by the "explosive demon."

But the three of them did the opposite, wishing they would encounter a new explosion immediately.

Indeed, simply waiting for the enemy to attack would be too passive. The situation was so urgent, with over fifty people already injured, there was no time to waste. That was why Lin Wuming suggested acting as bait. The other two girls, unwilling to show weakness, also acted together.

Lin Wuming thought for a moment and said, "Let's go check out the scenes of the previous incidents first... Since the enemy is targeting the Discipline Committee members and has already engaged in similar 'encirclement and attack' tactics, they'll likely continue to monitor the scene."

"That makes sense. Let's do it!" Gufa Meiwei nodded and said, "I've got the locations of the eight previous explosions. Let's check them one by one, from near to far!"

In the final analysis, it is "fishing" to lure the criminals to attack them again.

The site of the recent explosion was in the abandoned lot nearby, where "Big Spider" had held community activities not long ago.

This place is very close to the Discipline Committee headquarters, which shows that the prisoner is extremely arrogant and is almost provoking us in person.

However, this place has been cordoned off by both the security forces and the discipline committee, and no one else can get close.

It is obviously unlikely that the criminals will continue to ambush and attack here.

So the next location...

In one morning, the seven different locations of the eight explosions were all checked, but no enemy attack came.

Moreover, during this period, the "explosion demon" did not continue to commit crimes in other places, as if he had disappeared all of a sudden.

After being anxious for the whole morning but getting nothing, Gufa Meiwei felt a little frustrated.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and because they were busy with the investigation, the three of them had not had time to eat lunch.

"Anyway, let's take a break first." Lin Wuming pulled Gu Fa Meiwei, who was in a state of trance, "We are not in good condition now. Even if we find the criminal, we may not be a match for him. If we can't catch the criminal, then everything will be meaningless."

Although they had bought some sandwiches and drinks to fill their stomachs on the way, the mental fatigue was not so easy to eliminate.

Not to mention that Gufa Meiwei had already pulled an all-nighter. "But the problem now," said Tiger Bee Toumi, "is that we can't tell if the enemy has already set their sights on us. What if they're just waiting for us to relax and then attack?"

This is where the side effects of the "fishing" tactic come into play. In other words, this is essentially a hunt, except that the roles of hunter and prey can be reversed at any time.

"Let's go to the busiest commercial district," Lin Wuming said. "The criminal's target is very clear: our Discipline Committee members. They probably won't attack in a crowded place."

"Using ordinary citizens as cover?" Gufa Meiwei hesitated. "Isn't this... not a good idea?"

Lin Wuming was also stunned. He had come up with this method out of instinct. After all, in the original story, even someone as powerful and lawless as Accelerator would deliberately avoid the crowd when conducting the "Absolute Esper Evolution Experiment" and fight out of people's sight.

If Misaka sisters were mixed in the crowd, he would not attack directly.

Influenced by this stereotype of unknown origin, Lin Wuming subconsciously felt that crowded public places were equivalent to some kind of "safe zone" in Academy City, and that Anbu organizations or other dangerous people would not start a war in such a place.

But in fact, this is just Lin Wuming's wishful thinking - in the original plot, during the Anbu War, Emperor Kakine and Accelerator fought unscrupulously in the street.

Gufa Meiwei sighed and said, "There's a branch activity room nearby. Let's go there and rest."

She still felt that unrelated people should not be implicated. However, the Discipline Committee's branch activity room was already located on a relatively busy street.

The branch of the Discipline Committee is equipped with a lounge. After not sleeping all night and running around for a whole morning, Gu Fa Meiwei finally couldn't hold on any longer. He fell on the bed in the lounge and soon fell asleep.

After a short rest, Lin Wuming stood up and said to Hufeng Toumi, "I'm going out for a walk."

"Me too..." Hufeng Toumi also stood up.

"No," Lin Wuming refused her company. "Tiger Bee, you stay here to prevent the enemy from attacking."

As he spoke, Lin Wuming put on his armband and said, "I'll walk around and see if I can find anything."

Lin Wuming could no longer sit still. The feeling of being targeted by thieves made him feel very uncomfortable.

The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, which is not a favorable situation for our side. Lin Wuming feels that he has made things worse.

Although, all of this could very well be just Lin Wuming's own paranoid delusion...

Rather, from a purely rational analysis, Lin Wuming was basically certain that their "fishing" tactics in the morning were completely in vain. The "explosive demon" probably did not notice them, or had already gone home to rest.

But when it comes to matters concerning one's own safety, one cannot feel at ease simply through "rational analysis."

As long as the probability is not 100%, Lin Wuming cannot rule out the possibility of being attacked by the enemy, and he cannot truly let go of his worries.
