A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 473 Fans' Request

"So, Senior Wuming really doesn't plan to go to the juvenile reformatory?" Upon hearing this, Sakurai Ryoko immediately showed a disappointed expression.

He took half a step back, looking as if he was deeply shocked.

"I'm not going to juvenile detention center!" Lin Wuming responded reflexively, then shook his head. "I know what you mean, but as I said before, I can't just do anything illegal."

"But isn't that related to illegal experiments?"

"There's no evidence. Urban legends can't be used as evidence."

"As long as Senior Wuming goes there, he will definitely be able to find evidence!" the girl said confidently.

"Don't confuse cause and effect. I've already told you that I wouldn't just break into a juvenile reformatory without evidence." Lin Wuming also acted very assertive.

"Hey~~" Sakurai Ryoko couldn't help but lower her head.

Looking at the girl who didn't hide her disappointment, Lin Wuming suddenly realized something, so he asked, "Do you... know someone in there?"

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why this girl suddenly came to him and tried so persistently to persuade him to investigate the juvenile reformatory, even though they had no dealings with each other before.

After hesitating for a moment, Sakurai Ryoko finally nodded: "I heard that a friend I used to know was locked up in a juvenile reformatory. I haven't been in touch since I started school, so I don't know the details..."

"Is that so?" Lin Wuming nodded and asked, "What's his name? How old is he? I can help you check."

Sakurai Ryoko shook her head: "Because we were in kindergarten when we first met, I only remember her name was Yoko, and she was probably around the same age as me."

"This... is really an ambiguous message." Lin Wuming couldn't help scratching his head.

We only know a nickname or a alias, and no other valuable information. How can people check it?
Lin Wuming was considering whether to ask Shokuhou Misaki to help her "recall" and see if she could find more clues.

Sakurai Ryoko suddenly took a step back, shook her head and said, "Forget it, after all, this is just my one-sided guess. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Yoko may not be locked up in a juvenile reformatory."

"Is that so..." Seeing that the other party had given up voluntarily, Lin Wuming certainly would not meddle in other people's affairs. "Indeed, maybe the other party is also studying on ordinary ground?"

"Well, anyway, thank you very much, Senior Wuming!" Sakurai Ryoko bowed to express her gratitude.

Lin Wuming felt a little ashamed that he was being thanked so solemnly even though he had done nothing.

"Okay, well, I'll help you find out." Lin Wuming had no choice but to add.

"Actually," Sakurai Ryoko continued after standing up again, "I'm just worried about whether Yoko will be in danger. If she really is in a juvenile reformatory, wouldn't it be very dangerous? She might be caught for human experiments or something..."

“…That’s true…” Lin Wuming was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Juvenile detention centers have a bad reputation in urban legends.

After the Shadanshan invasion, such rumors seemed to intensify. Even many people who usually don't care about such matters have more or less heard of the terrible legend of the juvenile reformatory.

While dealing with the little fan in front of him, Lin Wuming's mind was already far away, secretly calculating when to find a suitable time to visit the juvenile reformatory for an on-site "inspection". This had nothing to do with Sakurai Ryoko's request. After all, because they needed to investigate Director Sherbin, Lin Wuming and Shokuhou Misaki had originally planned to start their investigation at the juvenile reformatory.

Of course, just as he said to Sakurai Ryoko just now, Lin Wuming's actions now need to be "legal and compliant."

Therefore, you cannot act arbitrarily.

Now, Lin Wuming is waiting for the "right time" to come.

Looking at the time, Lin Wuming realized that he had been delayed here for a while, so he prepared to say goodbye to the girl in front of him.

Unexpectedly, Sakurai Ryoko took the lead again and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle: "Wuming Senior, I suddenly remembered that I forgot today's homework in the classroom! So I'm very sorry, I have to leave first, goodbye!"

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Wuming's response, the girl turned around and ran at such a fast speed that she disappeared around the nearby corner in almost the blink of an eye.

"Wuming, you're so slow! I've been waiting for you for ages!" Hufeng Toumi came over and followed his gaze. "Who is that girl?"

"She's from the first grade. She must be my fan, right?" Lin Wuming said. "At the beginning of the school year, I helped her get rid of an illegal cram school."

"Really?" Tiger Bee Toumi glanced at the corner ahead expressionlessly. "Never mind. This kind of thing doesn't matter. Let's go home."

"Where are Shokuhou and the others?" Lin Wuming nodded and asked casually.

"They are investigating something and said they will be back later." said Tiger Bee Toumi.

Because he was not good at investigation and did not like doing this kind of work, Tiger Bee Toumi did not join them.

After all, her situation is similar to Misaka Mikoto's. Although she has joined the Shokuhou faction, she has more freedom in her actions, and Shokuhou Misaki will not force her to do anything.

In the Shokuho faction, Tiger Bee Toumi's role is that of a "bodyguard" or "thug", a pure combat unit.

However, the current Shokuho faction does not lack combat power, nor does it have so many combat needs for the time being, so Tiger Bee Toumi lives a very leisurely life.

On the way home, Hufeng Toumi suddenly asked, "Wuming, are you planning to destroy that juvenile reformatory?"

"What do you mean by destroying something? It's just a surprise inspection at best," Lin Wuming said quickly. "Besides, we're acting in an official capacity, so it's completely legal and compliant!"

Lin Wuming had already emphasized his explanation out of habit, but Hufeng Toumi obviously didn't care about this "word game".

"Whenever you take action, remember to call me." Tiger Bee Toumi leaned over and whispered in Lin Wuming's ear, "Don't act on your own again, understand?"

"Of course I won't forget you," Lin Wuming said, "but remember, we're not going to fight, we're going to investigate. A real investigation, okay?"

Lin Wuming raised his head and looked back, only to see the girl pushing the wheelchair behind him nodding nonchalantly.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Wuming didn't expect her to really listen to him - otherwise she would not be a tiger bee exploring honey.

It doesn't matter. If, as expected, there are indeed problems with the juvenile reformatory, then even if Tiger Bee Honey acts a little too radically, it probably won't be a problem, right?
