A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 259: Mito Takafu Being Used

The logic behind Mito Takafu's behavior is also very simple. If he attacks Lin Wuming and his group of three, if he succeeds, he can directly eliminate the group of members with the fastest progress in the investigation. Even if he fails, he can divert the attention of the guards and the discipline committee members, taking up a lot of their energy and forcing them to have no time to continue investigating the "underground arena."

"What simplistic logic," Lin Wuming sighed. "That guy's really straightforward. So, it seems that Mito Takafu must be connected to the underground arena?"

Otherwise, there would be no reason for her to fight so hard to stop the investigation.

"That's right," Yomikawa Aiho nodded. "Meto Takafumi was the two-time champion of the underground arena in the past two seasons, and now he has even joined as one of the organizing committee members."

In this way, her motives are obvious.

"Is this information reliable?" Lin Wuming asked with a frown.

The boss of the organizer personally came out to carry out a terrorist attack just to divert the police investigation... Is this really appropriate?

Being able to host such a large-scale event with funds involved in the hundreds of billions, the organizers should have no shortage of people to do the work. How could they ask the leaders to do it personally?

"Don't worry about that. Her information is absolutely reliable," said Yomikawa Aiho. "After all, with the help of our upstairs classmate Shokuhou, she can't possibly be hiding anything."

"Huh? Shokuhou Misaki?" Lin Wuming asked in surprise, "Did she go to help with the interrogation?"

Mito Takafu was determined and determined not to give in. No matter how he was tortured, he would not say a word.

But unfortunately, the guard troops had no intention of "torturing" him at all.

Moreover, due to the extremely serious nature of Mito Takafu's case, the security forces had no intention of taking care of her. They did not even bother to complete the procedures and used the "mind-reading" interrogation method without hesitation.

Facing level 5's "psychological mastery", any resistance is meaningless.

"So, have you found the whereabouts of the 'underground arena'?" Lin Wuming asked hurriedly.

"We found it, but unfortunately it's an old site." Yomikawa Aiho shook her head. "It's just an abandoned library. A huge space was dug out underground in the center and converted into a colosseum. But the venue has also been abandoned by the organizers. According to investigations, the last time anyone was active in the library was four months ago."

A lot of information about the "underground arena" was dug out from Mito Takafu's mind, but without exception, all of it was outdated information and had no direct effect on catching the organizer.

"Those places were where Mito Takagama competed when she was a competitor," Yomikawa Aiho explained, "but after she became a member of the organizing committee, there's been no updated information."

Lin Wuming's doubts grew stronger, and he asked again, "So, what about the other organizers? Did Mito Gaofu provide any information in this regard?"

But just as he asked, Lin Wuming shook his head: "If I'm not mistaken, then I must have gained nothing, right?"

"That's right," Yomikawa Aiho nodded. "According to her account, every time we met with the other organizers, everyone wore masks and used voice changers to disguise their speech, so we couldn't see anyone's true face at all."

"The only thing that is certain," Yomikawa Aiho added, "is that the leader of the organizer is very strong. Mito Takafu tried to challenge that leader, but was defeated cleanly. She doesn't even know how she lost." Mito Takafu came from a place like the "underground arena" and has been the champion for two consecutive seasons. Her strength is unquestionable.

Lin Wuming has also experienced this personally. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of waves would be caused if a competitor who can rub "bombs" with his hands anytime and anywhere suddenly appears in an arena that is closer to a fighting competition!
It is no wonder that Mito Takafu was able to win the championship twice in a row and win a 10 billion bonus.

But can such a strong man only be defeated miserably when facing the leader of the organizer?

Lin Wuming suddenly thought of something and asked again: "Do you know the name of that leader?"

"It's said they didn't introduce themselves," Yomikawa Aiho shook her head, then added, "But Mito Takafumi speculated that the leader's name contained 'privet wood'—a name accidentally leaked by the organizers during their conversation, so it should be credible."

Lin Wuming nodded: "It is indeed like this..."

When Mito Takafu was captured by the Anbu "tool", she blurted out a sentence as expected - if it was privet wood, it would be this and that...

This small detail was passed on to Lin Wuming by Juanqi Zuiai.

Originally it was just a seemingly plausible name, and Lin Wuming did not pay much attention to it. But now, combined with the information obtained from the interrogation, the name "privet wood" may be the only clue of practical value that Mito Takafu confessed.

"We're already checking everyone whose names contain 'privet wood' or similar pronunciations," said Yomikawa Aiho. "However, we can't rule out the possibility that it's a code name or nickname, so we can't hold out too much hope."

When Lin Wuming was talking about serious matters with others, Hufeng Toumi always kept a low profile and remained silent.

At this time, seeing that Lin Wuming and Huang Quanchuan Aihui had almost finished talking about their "business", Hufeng Toumi said, "That Mito Takafu, was he being used by someone?"

Although Hufeng Toumi did not directly participate in the discussion, he was always listening to their conversation carefully and accurately grasped the important details.

From an outsider's perspective, Mito Takafumi was simply unable to integrate into the "organizer" group.

Otherwise, he wouldn't wear a mask and speak through a voice changer when meeting with others, and he wouldn't even refuse to reveal his name... This shows that he doesn't regard Mito Takafu as his own at all!

Moreover, from other details, it can be seen that the real "organizers" know each other, and the only person they keep secret is undoubtedly Mito Takafu.

Of course, such "confidentiality" did work - at least now that Mito Takama was arrested, even the "psychological master" Shokuhou Misaki personally took action, but was unable to dig out any information about the organizer.

"Of course, you can understand it this way..." After a brief pause, Tiger Bee Toumi sneered and continued, "From the very beginning, Mito Takara was just cannon fodder pushed out by them, so..."

Tiger Bee Toumi spread out her hands and shrugged: "That's why I said she was being used."
