A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 480 Check the Juvenile Reformatory First

Chairman Aleister seemed unwilling to waste any more time on these "trivial matters." He continued, "I can guarantee that the Unified Council will remain absolutely neutral. So, don't waste my time on such trivial matters. Go back, Lin Wuming."

Although Chairman Aleister did not express his support directly, but only acquiesced and remained neutral, this was enough for Lin Wuming.

Chairman Aleister's "tacit consent" was the insurance he wanted.

After leaving the "windowless building", Lin Wuming reunited with Shokuhou Misaki and others who were not far away.

"How is it?" Misaka Mikoto asked impatiently.

"I've got the insurance," Lin Wuming made an OK gesture, "We can move now."

"I know the location of Director Sherbin's office!" Misaka Mikoto said immediately.

"No," Lin Wuming shook his head, "Let's go to the juvenile reformatory first."

"A juvenile reformatory?" Misaka Mikoto thought for a moment. "That's fine. Aren't there rumors out there that we invaded a juvenile reformatory? So why not just break in for real and show them!"

The result was another speechless look from Lin Wuming and Shokuhou Misaki.

"I always feel like...Misaka-san has been too lively lately." Shokuhou Misaki complained.

"What do you mean by 'too lively'?" Misaka Mikoto also noticed that her reaction was too intense, and her face suddenly turned red, but she still argued, "I'm just helping you!"

"Who said that yesterday - these things are ultimately for my sisters...how come it's become doing things for others now?" Shokuhou Misaki said immediately.

"..."

"Okay," Lin Wuming quickly interrupted the two girls' argument, "To ensure everything goes well, there are two more things to do before going to the juvenile detention center."

"Wuming's preparations this time are really cumbersome." Tiger Bee Toumi couldn't help but complain.

Looking back, Lin Wuming always left on a whim, so why would he have to prepare so many messy things?

"After all, this time we're going to take the initiative to deal with a director," Lin Wuming explained patiently. "I need to first contact the Discipline Committee and the security forces to try to get their cooperation."

"That makes sense," Misaka Mikoto nodded, "And the second thing?"

"Theoretically, this investigation into the juvenile reformatory is my personal operation, Lin Wuming, and has nothing to do with the Shokuhou faction," Lin Wuming said. "Shokuhou, Misaka, as the two iconic figures of the Shokuhou faction, it's best if you don't act with me."

……

"...That's it, Chairman. I'm sorry to trouble you again this time." Lin Wuming informed the chairman of the Discipline Committee of his next investigation over the phone.

"How bizarre," the chairman said in a surprised tone, "Student Wuming actually informed me in advance?"

"Ahem!" Lin Wuming knew he was in the wrong, so he had to explain, "In the past, it was always an emergency, so there wasn't enough time to inform you. This time, it was planned in advance, so I'm reporting specifically..."

"Alright, alright," the chairman said, "you've already decided to act anyway—it's useless even if I object, right?"

“…” Lin Wuming could only remain silent.

"Don't go too far," the chairman warned. "But even if I say so, it won't be of any use, right?"

"..."

"You don't have any objections?" The chairperson was speechless. "Anyway, I'll arrange for patrols around the juvenile detention center and can provide you with support if necessary." After a brief pause, she continued, "However, that area is now under the jurisdiction of the security forces. It would probably be more convenient for Wuming-san to get support from them, right?"

The Chairman is right.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Wuming stood up and walked into a large police car in front of him - a comprehensive command vehicle specially used when the guard force was deployed on a large scale for outdoor deployment.

As a thorough investigation of the juvenile detention center has been carried out over the past two days, the area has been surrounded by security forces.

Although the juvenile detention center was not forcibly sealed off and its staff could still go to get off work as usual, every person or vehicle entering and leaving the gate was strictly monitored.

Lin Wuming and his team's actions of entering the juvenile reformatory to conduct an investigation will definitely not be hidden from the eyes of the security forces.

Moreover, if something is really discovered and causes an extreme reaction from the staff inside the juvenile reformatory, the nearby security forces may be needed to help suppress it.

So it’s always a good idea to say hello first.

The security teacher in charge of on-site command was someone Lin Wuming knew - Captain Haiya.

This commander, who is in charge of the heavy-armed suppression force, also seems to hold a high position in the guard force system.

Therefore, Captain Haiya was one of the few people who knew that Lin Wuming was working for Chairman Aleister.

Therefore, when Captain Haiya heard that Lin Wuming planned to enter the juvenile reformatory to conduct an investigation "in a private capacity", he did not object to this obviously unreasonable request.

He had already tacitly accepted that this was a special task assigned to Lin Wuming by Chairman Aleister.

"We will cooperate with you," Captain Haiya said in a businesslike manner, "but under what pretext do you intend to go in?"

Captain Haiya himself knew that Lin Wuming was carrying out a "secret mission", but no one else knew it.

Especially the staff of the juvenile reformatory. If there is no justifiable reason, they probably won't allow an ordinary middle school student to enter the campus and conduct a so-called "investigation", right?

"What excuse?" Lin Wuming thought for a moment. "There are many reasons... I have one. There have been rumors circulating for the past few days that I broke into the juvenile reformatory. As the victim of the rumor, I entered the juvenile reformatory to investigate in order to prove my innocence. How about that excuse?"

Captain Haiya couldn't help but complain: "Are you trying to prove your innocence or to prove their accusation?"

"That's about right. It doesn't matter." Lin Wuming shrugged. "It's just an excuse anyway. And since it's already been spread like this, wouldn't it be a big loss if I don't do something?"

After greeting the guard troops, Lin Wuming left the police car, called his companions who were waiting outside, and walked towards the gate of the juvenile reformatory together.

"Who are those?" In the command vehicle, Captain Haiya also noticed the companions around Lin Wuming.

"You can tell she's the daughter of Tokiwadai Junior High School, even though she's not wearing their uniform," said the guard nearby. "It's no secret that Lin Wuming-san has a close relationship with the Shokuhou clique."

"Of course I know that," Captain Haiya said, "but why do they dress like that?"

There were five girls around Lin Wuming. Except for Hufeng Toumi who was pushing the wheelchair behind him, the other four girls were wearing loose white hooded sweaters and their heads were covered tightly with the hoods, looking very mysterious.

If they hadn't known about the relationship between Lin Wuming and the Shokuhou faction for a long time, the security forces probably wouldn't have been able to guess their identities right away.

"Tokiwadai High School has strict school rules, and there's a complicated system of factions within the school," a security teacher said. "Perhaps they're hiding their identities to avoid getting into trouble?"
