A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 456 Director Sherbin

"Hey, you've worked hard, Wuming." A familiar security guard walked in, holding up the thermos bag in his hand. "I've got dinner. Eat it while it's hot."

"Thank you, teacher. Sorry for bothering you." Lin Wuming drove his wheelchair forward and took the thermal bag.

"It's just a simple matter, don't worry about it." The security teacher waved his hand. "Instead, we as teachers are the ones who are bothering you... This kind of thing shouldn't be handled by students."

As he spoke, the security teacher shook his head with great emotion.

Walking to the window, he reached out and opened a gap in the blinds, then glanced at the situation downstairs.

"Tsk, this is troublesome! Our blue-collar comrades are getting serious and have no intention of leaving even at this late hour."

"After all, I'm about to lose my job. How can I give up so easily?" Lin Wuming shrugged, opened the thermal bag, and took out the still hot fast food box from it.

At this moment, Lin Wuming, Gu Fa Meiwei, and two other unknown discipline committee members were resting in this room.

In addition to them, there were five or six security teachers also having dinner and resting.

They were in an office building located on the side of the road. Because it was close to the strike parade site, the offices on the second floor of the office building were temporarily requisitioned as the base for the guard force, for the guards and the discipline committee members who came to help to take turns to rest.

Because the sudden demonstrations that broke out this morning were so massive and almost every school district responded, the security forces were greatly dispersed, so they had to urgently summon the discipline committee members to help maintain order on the road.

Honestly, this was the first time such an incident had occurred in Academy City, so the security forces lacked experience in handling it. They could only treat the demonstration as a festival or a celebratory parade during the Daihaxing Festival...

Fortunately, the participants in the parade were also inexperienced. I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the workers really acted according to the celebratory parade during the New Year celebrations.

Fortunately, this large-scale demonstration that affected the entire Academy City was kept under control, and no obvious conflicts occurred throughout the day.

The biggest inconvenience caused by the march was traffic jams, which paralyzed the ground transportation systems of nearly ten school districts.

Furthermore, these workers were determined and refused to disperse the march.

It dragged on until night fell...

In order to deal with this emergency and support the severely understaffed guard force, the Discipline Committee specially dispatched personnel to provide support.

Considering that the discipline committee members are all students, when recruiting people, we specifically asked for people who are "available" and "good at communication" to provide support.

It just so happened that Lin Wuming was one of those people who had a lot of free time - junior high school courses were not difficult for him at all, and Zhachuan Middle School would not make any requirements on his attendance rate.

On the other hand, although Lin Wuming himself is the type who is extremely bad at "communication", his existence itself has great significance.

Lin Wuming is the bridge of communication between the guard force and the discipline committee - for various reasons, both sides recognize Lin Wuming.

In other words, Lin Wuming doesn't actually need to do anything. It is enough for him to stay in the "Parade Frontline Countermeasures Headquarters" and act as a mascot.

But it was precisely because of this attribute that Lin Wuming couldn't easily leave. He could only stay here like a root until the parade was completely over and the people on the street dispersed...

This is also the reason why the security teacher said "thank you for trouble". Lin Wuming actually shouldered responsibilities far beyond what he should have as a discipline committee member.

"Don't worry about it," Lin Wuming shook his head and said, "It will come eventually anyway..."

In fact, in addition to the summons from the Discipline Committee, Lin Wuming also received a commission from Chairman Aleister. This unprecedented demonstration seemed to have alarmed the chairman, who wanted Lin Wuming to investigate the truth behind the incident.

——That being said…

While eating his late dinner, Lin Wuming thought to himself - I don't believe that guy Aleister doesn't know the truth. Could it be that he saw that I'm very idle lately and wanted to find something for me to do?
Due to the agreement reached with Chairman Aleister, Lin Wuming now needs to work for the chairman in exchange for various resources sufficient to take care of the Misaka sisters.

From this perspective, Lin Wuming felt that he was no different from the group of workers marching on the street downstairs - they all worked for others.

As an evil capitalist, he can't stand his employees being too idle and deliberately finds something for them to do. Isn't this normal?
While complaining in his heart, Lin Wuming took out his mobile phone and checked the news reports.

Although I was at the front line of the parade, I was unable to grasp the overall situation because of this.

If you don't have high requirements for intelligence, the best way is to read the news.

Gufa Meiwei moved his stool over and watched the show with Lin Wuming.

"So, is there any word on when this parade will end?" Gufa Meiwei asked casually.

"This is the evening news, not a prediction program." Lin Wuming rolled his eyes.

"What's the point of watching this? Change the channel quickly!" Gufa Meiwei treated Lin Wuming's mobile phone as a mini TV.

"Don't you have a cell phone yourself..." Lin Wuming said, "Huh? This news..."

After reporting on the parade, the host began to move on to the next piece of news.

— Academy City's first fully unmanned, automated subway line has officially begun operations. Project leader Sherbin Kenshills attended the launch ceremony...

Although Academy City already has driverless buses and taxis, surprisingly, the underground transportation has only just become unmanned?
It is obvious that transportation such as the subway is the easiest to achieve unmanned driving.

——What a strange order of technological development.

Lin Wuming complained in his heart.

That’s right, the reason why he cares about this news is not because the “unmanned subway” is too high-tech, but because he feels that this achievement comes too slowly.

Compared to Academy City’s reputation of being “thirty years ahead of the outside world,” there’s a cute contrast.

"Oh, it's Director Sherbin. This guy is really capable of doing such a thing." The security teacher next to him heard the content of the news report and came over to take a look.

"Tsk, he did it on purpose!"

"It's really too much. They don't even consider our feelings..."

As if they had found a common topic, several security teachers started complaining together.

"Wait, you said this man is... a director?" Lin Wuming caught the key words, "Is this the 'director' I understand?"
