A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 76 A commission without any suspense

"What place is this?" After writing down the address of the person asking for help, Lin Wuming turned around and asked Huang Quanchuan Aiho and Hufeng Toumi who were napping nearby.

Because the cell phones rang almost all night long, none of the three of them could rest well last night - this was also one of the reasons why Aiho Yomikawa gave them advance warnings.

"Huh? Finally got a serious commission?" Hufeng Toumi instantly perked up, walked up behind Lin Wuming with great interest, and grabbed the handle of the wheelchair, "I'll take you there."

"Wuming..." Huangquanchuan Aihui said listlessly, "You need to rest now."

Lin Wuming smiled and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Our career has just started, and we can't let it down at this time!"

Even if this was just a move to cover up a lie, Lin Wuming didn't intend to get away with it.

The most fearful thing about everything is taking it seriously. Even if the cause of this matter is a lie, Lin Wuming will turn it into reality through action and hard work.

This plan will not end until Shokuhou Misaki escapes from the "Saigong Room" and enters Tokiwadai Junior High School as planned.

Under the guidance of the tiger bee's honey, Lin Wuming successfully found the park where the client had agreed to meet.

Of course, along the way, Lin Wuming also noticed that there was a guard who looked like a plainclothes guard secretly following him not far behind. It was obvious that the security forces were not completely confident in him.

The first client was a female high school student. She looked ordinary and there didn't seem to be anything special about her.

"Is it her? She doesn't look like a victim of illegal experiments." Tiger Bee Toumi commented.

"It's not so easy to come across illegal experiments," Lin Wuming said, not finding it strange. "It should be just an ordinary commission."

Lin Wuming knew full well that the vast majority of those who could call for help were unlikely to be victims of illegal experiments—they had virtually no chance of communicating with the outside world. And as Captain Haiya had said, if someone did have the opportunity to call for help, they would most likely call the police or the security forces first.

When he decided to make his mobile phone number public, Lin Wuming was mentally prepared to become a "jack of all trades".

In other words, even if the client asked him to find the cat, Lin Wuming would not be surprised.

"Hello," the client girl noticed Lin Wuming and took the initiative to walk over, "Is this classmate Wuming?"

"It's me. Are you the client this time, Feili?" Lin Wuming asked back.

"It's me. Thank you very much for coming to help me!" The girl bowed deeply and then asked, "How much do I need to pay?"

Obviously, the client girl who called herself "Feili" also consciously regarded Lin Wuming as some kind of "jack of all trades".

"No," Lin Wuming shook his head, "I don't need any reward. This is a volunteer activity."

"Huh?" Fili looked over in surprise.

"Tell me about your commission first." Lin Wuming asked directly without any nonsense.

"Yes!" Fili said quickly, "I'd like to ask you to help find my friend. She suddenly disappeared last month..."

"Huh?" It was Lin Wuming who was surprised. He didn't expect that his first commission would be of such a serious type.

The disappearance of a friend is a very unusual thing in this era of advanced communication technology, and it is too easy to associate it with "illegal experiments."

Lin Wuming suddenly became serious and looked at the client seriously: "Please explain the situation in detail. Also, provide me with as much personal information as possible about the missing person!" Feili was also prepared and immediately took out an envelope from her bag at the side: "Here is the information, please take a look!"

——This girl is serious!

Lin Wuming thought to himself, but at the same time he couldn't help but complain, since the information is so complete, why not call the police directly?
"I will investigate carefully, please rest assured." After a brief chat, Lin Wuming said, "If you have any other new clues, please contact me in time."

Because it was not something that could be resolved immediately, Lin Wuming decided to say goodbye to the client first, and then go home to ask Huang Quanchuan Aiho and use the power of the security force to conduct an investigation.

"Please!" Fili bowed deeply again.

After separating from the client, Tiger Bee Toumi finally spoke: "How boring! It turns out you're just looking for someone..."

"Finding someone is already a serious commission," Lin Wuming said, "a missing person case..."

"Do you suspect you've encountered an illegal experiment?" Tiger Bee Toumi guessed his thoughts. "But as far as I know, even those illegal experimental institutions select their test subjects from the 'eliminated' group or juvenile reformatory institutions. They wouldn't target students with legitimate school records."

"That's true," Lin Wuming nodded, "but we still need to investigate further."

Just as the two were on their way back, a car suddenly caught up from behind, maintaining its speed and moving forward with them.

"Mr. Wuming, Mr. Hufeng," said the guard who was in charge of following and supervising them. "Don't worry about the previous request."

"Why?" asked Tiger Bee Toumi.

"Because we have found the whereabouts of Fili's friend." said the guard.

A month ago, just as the holidays were about to begin, Felli's school was one of those that had an early holiday break, so her friends applied for travel permits early on and left Academy City to go home and reunite with their families.

"She's on vacation in Hawaii right now," the guard said. "She left her phone at home, so of course Fili can't contact her."

The real reason is so simple, even to the point of being laughable.

The guard suddenly coughed dryly and lowered his voice, saying, "That girl must have heard some unreliable rumors and believed that Academy City could track her location through her phone, so she deliberately left her phone at home."

According to regulations, anyone leaving Academy City must report to the school in advance and apply for travel permits, regardless of where they are going. In theory, long-distance travel across cities is not permitted without permission.

Fili's friend, worried about her Hawaiian vacation being delayed, didn't apply to the school. Then, she abandoned her phone to avoid Academy City's pursuit...

Due to some strange mistake, the illusion of "disappearance" was created.

"Is that girl an idiot?" Tiger Bee Toumi commented bluntly, "Isn't the chip implanted under the skin used for location tracking? What's the point of throwing the phone away?"

In order to manage students leaving Academy City, in addition to a strict application system for leaving, Academy City also requires that all students leaving the city be injected with a positioning chip.

This is not a secret, but it is written in black and white on the application documents for going out.

That's why Tiger Bee Toumi criticized Fili's friends so harshly.
