A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 343: Fraud Case Using the Name of "Learning Device"

"With Sister Junko protecting me, you don't have to worry about my safety." Shokuhou Misaki seemed even more confident than Hokaze Junko herself.

But Lin Wuming was still a little worried. Although Fanfeng Runzi was very strong, it was good enough for her to protect herself when facing the volley of more than ten sniper rifles. It was impossible for her to protect Shokuhou Misaki.

After all, we still need to find a way to strengthen our defenses...

Lin Wuming looked at the tiger bee beside him.

"I won't protect this guy." Tiger Bee Toumi said immediately, "I'm just your partner, Wuming, and I never protect others."

"makes sense."

"Hmph, I don't need any protection other than Junko-sister," Shokuhou Misaki said, "I'm level 5!"

"Anyway," Lin Wuming said, "since the criminal might be Tongdong Junsan, he might have also targeted you who just escaped from the artificial room. I'm telling everyone to be vigilant and stay safe during this period."

"I know." Shokuhou Misaki nodded, then asked, "Wuming-senpai, what are you going to do next?"

"Of course, I have to find a way to find Dundong Junsan. After all, there's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days." Lin Wuming said loudly, "Of course, more importantly, I have to find a way to improve my own strength."

"Oh?" Shokuhou Misaki showed an interested look, "Wuming-senpai, do you want to reach level 4?"

"Yes," Lin Wuming nodded. "I know this is difficult, but in order to cope with the challenges ahead, improving my strength is necessary. If there are continuous attacks like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out for long with only my current level 3 strength and luck."

"I understand," Shokuhou Misaki nodded and patted her chest to assure him, "Don't worry, Wuming-senpai, I will help you find a suitable research institute to help you develop your Nen ability."

"Thank you very much." Lin Wuming nodded. "Also, if it's convenient, please introduce me to Mitsuki Kaihara - I mentioned it before."

"I'm already thinking of a way to do that." Hokaze Junko raised her hand and said, "Some of the seniors I know at school know Senior Kaihara. I can ask them to introduce him to me."

"That's great, thank you so much, Fanfeng!" Lin Wuming said excitedly.

True or false, although this "plot" was performed for the hovering loop, Lin Wuming's desire to improve his strength and become stronger is real.

Even if someone with the ability to read minds could see this, they wouldn't be able to find any flaws... Oh, and Shokuhou Misaki is right in front of me.

After all, Lin Wuming's wish is also the common wish of the vast majority of super-powered people in Academy City, and no one can say that there is a problem with it.

It’s just that Lin Wuming’s possibility of realizing this wish is slightly higher than others.

——Although, it’s not the ability level that’s improved.

After two days of hospitalization, Lin Wuming was discharged again.

This time his discharge from the hospital was even more uneventful. No one came to pick him up, let alone celebrate.

Even Yomikawa Aiho was busy investigating the attack in District 12, so Lin Wuming had to drive his wheelchair home by himself.

Fortunately, Lin Wuming has now memorized the route from the hospital to the apartment building, so he doesn't have to worry about getting lost.

I also stopped by the supermarket to restock the fridge. When I made it back to the Family Side apartment building, I happened to see Mr. Yuanfeng Ye Li coming out of the security office on the first floor.

Family Side is an exclusive dormitory building for the guard force, so the so-called gatehouse here is actually a police station with complete functional facilities, which is responsible for policing work in several surrounding blocks. Usually, the residents of the apartment building take turns on duty.

However, since everyone knows that this is the "nest" of the guard force, the public security in this area is quite good, so that this police station can only be reduced to a guard's communication room.

Then, I saw two security teachers also walked out of the office, bowed to each other with Teacher Yuanfeng Ye Li, and said daily polite words such as "I'm sorry to bother you", "I'm very sorry", "No, no".

It didn't look like ordinary neighborly chit-chat.

"Hello, teacher." Lin Wuming thought as he walked up and greeted the three teachers.

"It's classmate Wuming, you're back?" The teachers were all very kind, and because they knew the inside story, they did not bother asking about Lin Wuming's physical recovery.

In order to keep the topic going, Lin Wuming thought for a moment and asked, "Teacher Yuanfeng Ye Li is here. Did something happen?"

"It's true, but it's nothing particularly important," said one of the security teachers. "We just want to consult with Teacher Yuanfeng on some professional matters, um, regarding a case that's currently under investigation."

Yuanfeng Ye Li, about the case?
Lin Wuming noticed it and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Has the whereabouts of Chundong Junsan been found?"

The two security teachers quickly shook their heads: "No, no, don't misunderstand, Wuming, we are not responsible for the case in the 12th school district."

After thinking it over, the security teacher decided to reveal a little more: "What we consulted with Teacher Yuanfeng about is a new technology called 'learning device.' This technology was developed by Teacher Yuanfeng when he was in the talent workshop, so..."

"You can't say I was in charge," Yuanfeng Ye Li said modestly, "it's just..."

However, the other key R&D personnel have either fled for fear of punishment or are still in the hospital, their lives uncertain.

As a result, Yuanfeng Ye Li became the only expert at present.

"Learning device?" Lin Wuming exclaimed in amazement.

In the original story, this thing is an essential prop for the rapid cultivation of Misaka sisters. If we can use this as a clue, we may be able to catch the flaw in the "mass production type ability user" plan!

"There's nothing wrong with the learning device itself," the security teacher said. "But we recently received a report that someone is using the name 'learning device' to engage in fraudulent activities."

"That's why we want to consult with the developer of the learning device to learn more about it."

"Huh? So it's just a scam?" After hearing the security teachers' description, Lin Wuming's interest was almost extinguished, but he still refused to give up. "So, did the informant mention what the scammer did with the learning device?"

"What else could it be? They're lying about it helping students improve their grades and avoid failing a course." The security teacher shrugged. "That's why it's called a 'learning device.'"

"It seems that he is indeed a liar." Lin Wuming immediately concluded.

"Actually," Yuanfeng Ye Li said, "Academic performance can indeed be improved—through learning devices."
