A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 512 Peace Talks
With the help of wings, Kakine Teito brought the two girls, Gang Ringo and Ruka Chika, to the battle scene first and "received" the two "Corpse Eater Corps" killers who were nailed to the ground by Lin Wuming.

A little later, Yuwang Wanhua also flew to the roof by controlling his telekinesis.

"I'll leave this to you," Kakine Teito said immediately upon seeing Yuwang Wanhua arrive, "I'll go to the next place."

After saying that, he took the two girls and flew to the place where Lin Wuming had just defeated the third enemy.

Then, as expected, he saw the same scene - this time, the one nailed to the ground by Lin Wuming was the enemy's space user.

Due to the excessive consumption of his mental energy, he could no longer use the "Material Exchange" to escape and was easily captured by Lin Wuming.

However, it seems that this guy took the initiative to stay behind to cover the retreat.

After catching him, Lin Wuming could no longer find any clues about the fourth member of the "Corpse-Eating Army".

But it doesn't matter. The person is still alive. I'll ask Shokuhou Misaki to come and take a look later. There's no need to worry about not finding any clues.

Lin Wuming stopped and did not continue to chase, but stayed here and waited for Emperor Yuangen to come and join him.

As "bodyguards", the four people from "School" appeared very unprofessional in this mission.

Because all the enemies were defeated by Lin Wuming himself.

The greatest role played by Emperor Kakine was actually to treat and recover the enemies defeated by Lin Wuming!

According to previous "customs", at this time, after thwarting the assassination attempt against him, what Lin Wuming has to do next is to launch a counterattack and take crazy revenge on the mastermind who wants to kill him!

However, the appearance of Emperor Kakine interrupted Lin Wuming's revenge rhythm.

"Lin Wuming, the employer of our mission this time wants to see you." said Emperor Kakine.

Lin Wuming was very interested in hiring people from the "school", so when he heard this, he agreed immediately without thinking too much.

After all, there is no need to rush for revenge.

Soon, the ambulance arrived downstairs first and carried away the three injured members of the "Corpse-Eating Army" for treatment.

A few minutes later, a helicopter flew over and landed in front of Lin Wuming and Kakine Teito.

The hatch opened and the employer of the "school" jumped out of the helicopter hatch.

Lin Wuming knew her—it was Kumokawa Qinya.

Unexpectedly, it makes sense.

Anyone who can hire the Anbu "school" and be deeply involved in this assassination must be at the level of a general director.

Although Kumokawa Seria is not a director herself, she is the think tank of Director Kaiji Tsutomu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the brain that oversees the board of directors.

So, Lin Wuming was just surprised for a moment, and soon felt relieved.

"Long time no see, Lin Wuming." Yunchuan Qinya stroked her iconic big forehead and greeted her naturally.

"It's been a long time since we last met." Lin Wuming nodded and said, "So, should I thank you for hiring someone to help me this time?"

"No need to thank me." Kumokawa Qinya shook her head, "I just want to save your favorability towards the Unified Council a little bit. After all, if the situation becomes too ugly, it will be difficult for me to deal with it." You know, the recent series of assassination attempts against Lin Wuming were all launched in the name of the "Unified Council".

The reason was to eliminate dangerous elements that threatened the status of the general directors and to test the new member Lin Wuming.

"But to be precise," Kumokawa Seriya explained, "no specific director actually gave the order to assassinate you."

The girl shrugged. "Except for the late Director Sherbin, no other director would use such a crude and simplistic method to eliminate potential competitors."

After hearing what Kumokawa Qinya said, Lin Wuming immediately realized that this girl came for "peace talks" and was considered a middleman sent by the General Council.

However, she is also a member of the governing council and naturally has her own stance, so Lin Wuming naturally cannot completely believe what she says.

But what is certain is that the person in front of him, Kumokawa Seria, and Director Kaiji Jimin behind her, should be the group of people who have nothing to do with this assassination attempt.

Lin Wuming had no reason to turn against them.

"So, what is your purpose?" Lin Wuming asked as he took out his cell phone, ready to summon Shokuhou Misaki and Misaka Mikoto.

Although one of the killers from the "Ghost-Eating Corps" has escaped, three people were eventually captured, and they are all alive. As long as Shokuhou Misaki takes action, she will definitely be able to obtain valuable information.

Then, by following the clues, we can always find the mastermind who hired them.

As for the "anonymous account" mentioned by the guard force, Lin Wuming did not think it was a problem - as long as there were clues, something could always be found.

Kumokawa Qinya showed a helpless expression and walked forward to hold Lin Wuming's hand. "Don't rush to find Shokuhou-san. If you really insist on revenge, I can provide you with a list right away."

Hearing this, Lin Wuming put down his phone and asked, "Oh, really?"

"Of course, I'm just an intermediary and have no obligation to keep their secrets." Kumokawa Seria spread her hands and said indifferently, "But the list may be different from what you imagine - because the names of none of the general directors are on it."

Lin Wuming raised his eyebrows and picked up the phone again.

"Even if Shokuhou-san were to investigate personally, the result would probably be the same," Kumokawa Seria said. "I've already said this—no single governing board member ever ordered your assassination. These actions were simply the whims of subordinates..."

"Do you think I will believe this reason?" Lin Wuming complained.

Although this is the truth, Lin Wuming simply cannot believe that the big guys above are completely unaware of this.

Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. As long as you keep investigating, you will always find their name.

Kumokawa Seria said, "Strictly speaking, this can actually be considered a kind of 'system,' or a tacit understanding among the Unified Council. Unless the entire Unified Council is eradicated, it's impossible to change this system."

After explaining, Kumokawa Qinya didn't give Lin Wuming a chance to speak. She raised her hand to stop him from saying anything else. "So, why don't you listen to another solution? As long as you, Lin Wuming, are willing to give up the pursuit and revenge, then the other party is willing to pay a huge compensation."

"Oh," Lin Wuming sneered, "Now that things have come to this, you want to spend money to buy peace..."

"It's 10 billion."
