A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 96 Found the money
This time, the security forces cut off Lin Wuming's mobile phone communications, which gave him a chance to choose - whether to continue to play the role of the "hero".

But in fact, there is only one choice...

As the saying goes, three times is enough. After rescuing innocent children who became experimental subjects from the research institute three times in a row, Lin Wuming's identity as a "hero" has been solidified and gained public recognition.

The situation has already changed. If you want to quit at this time, you will actually face considerable resistance.

The guard force was also unwilling to interfere so simply and crudely - to be honest, it was very convenient for them to have a "hero" like Lin Wuming to cooperate with them; of course, it could also be a headache sometimes.

The best way is to let Lin Wuming make his own decision, then take action step by step, and then slowly let his "fans" accept it.

But now it seems that Lin Wuming even enjoys it and will not "quit" easily.

"Okay, Wuming, Hufeng, let's go home~" Tetsujo Zuiri greeted with a smile, while taking the car keys from Yomikawa Aiho.

Because of the "Border Exploration" case, Yomiuri Aiho needed to work overtime, so she had to ask Tesso Juuri to take the two of them home.

After saying goodbye to Yomikawa Aiho, Hufeng Toumi naturally pushed the wheelchair and followed her towards the parking lot.

"How is Teacher Huang Quanchuan going to get home?" After noticing that they were going to take Huang Quanchuan Aiho's private car, Lin Wuming asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, there are plenty of security guards living on Familiy Side. Just ask someone to take you there," Tiezhuang Zhuili said. "Just go back and have a good rest!"

"Before that," Lin Wuming said, "we're almost out of flour and cooking oil at home. Can we stop by the supermarket on the way?"

Tetsujo Zuiri said, "Come to think of it, Wuming is also responsible for cooking for Teacher Huang Quanchuan. That's really amazing! Everyone is envious of her for taking in such a capable child like Wuming!"

Having said that, Lin Wuming continued, "If you don't mind, Teacher Tiezhuang, please come have dinner with us tonight."

"Okay!" Tiezhuang Zhuili was instantly moved, and then took the initiative to say, "I'll pay for all the groceries today!"

As a single working woman, Tiezhuang Zhuili is almost tired of eating at nearby restaurants and takeout.

"No need for money..." Lin Wuming wanted to be polite out of habit, but he immediately thought of the fact that he was almost penniless, and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Lin Wuming used all of his scholarship this month to buy various limited edition Kuatai peripherals, and then he rejected Huang Quanchuan Aiho's offer of pocket money, so now he only has a few hundred yen in change.

Usually, Huang Quanchuan Aihui is responsible for the purchase of groceries for the family, but today, she is busy with a series of cases and obviously has no time to buy groceries, so Lin Wuming has to do it himself.

"It's okay, don't worry about it." Fortunately, Tiezhuang Zhuili didn't take his politeness seriously. "When we usually go to Mr. Huangquanchuan's house for a party, we always bring our own drinks and snacks."

Lin Wuming breathed a sigh of relief. He really had no money on him. If Teacher Tiezhuang took it seriously, he would have to let Hufeng Toumi pay.

Thinking of this, Lin Wuming couldn't help but look back at the girl behind him.

Although Hufeng Toumi is younger, she's a Level 4 esper, so her monthly income is significantly higher than that of Level 3 Lin Wuming. Strictly speaking, it's even higher than Yomikawa Aiho's monthly salary!
Tiger Bee Toumi is the richest lady in the family.

However, being from a war-torn area, she had no real sense of money and no habit of spending money lavishly. Moreover, she also had to save money for her own surgery, so her "wealth" was not obvious in normal times.

For Hufeng Toumi, the amount of money beyond four digits is beyond her intuitive understanding. Instead of the string of zeros in her account, she is more sensitive to the currency below 0 yen in her wallet.

"Ah, I found money, lucky~" Tiger Bee Toumi suddenly let go of the wheelchair, squatted down and picked up something on the ground.

They were walking outside the hospital building, on the road leading to the parking lot. While it wasn't as busy as the road leading to the main entrance, there were still plenty of medical staff and patients passing by. "Someone must have accidentally lost it, right?" Tetsujo Zuiri said.

What Hufeng Toumi picked up was a 1,000 yen bill. It wasn't too much, but it wasn't a small amount either, especially for the student group, which was mostly minors.

"Send it to the hospital's lost and found office," said Tetsujo Zuiri.

"Hey..." Tiger Bee Toumi stretched out her voice, very reluctantly, "The things I pick up on the road should belong to me!"

"That's not what a good kid would do," said Tesso Zuiri. "And it's not nice to keep the money you found in front of the security guard."

Tiger Bee Toumi was also very persistent: "If no one comes to claim it, won't the money be wasted on the Lost and Found Office?"

"How about this, we notify the lost and found office first, but keep the money in our own hands. If no one comes to claim it, it will be considered that Tiger Bee has good fortune today." Lin Wuming chose to compromise.

"That's a good idea." Tiger Bee Toumi nodded in agreement.

Tiezhuang Zhuili said helplessly, "That's not what a 'hero' would say."

"Well, it's appropriate to turn a blind eye," Lin Wuming said, "We didn't say we wouldn't pay it back, we just didn't want it to be wasted."

Tiezhuang Zhuili sighed and didn't insist. To be honest, if she wasn't still wearing a police uniform and in front of two children she knew, she wouldn't have bothered with these matters.

It's only one thousand yen, so subtle that it's not a big amount.

Next, Tiezhuang Zhuili drove to the supermarket near the apartment building - the same supermarket where Lin Wuming went shopping for the first time - and bought ingredients for tonight with Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi.

"Ah, I found money again." Tiger Bee Toumi's eyes were sharp, and he squatted down again to pick up something from the ground.

This time there were three coins, one 500 yen and two 100 yen coins.

"Lucky~" Tiger Bee Toumi said in a good mood, "I'm lucky today."

Lin Wuming looked at Tiezhuang Zhuili and said, "Teacher Tiezhuang, should we notify the lost and found office about this as well?"

Compared to the 1,000 yen bill, these coins appear more subtle.

After a moment of silence, he looked down at his uniform and said, "I'll notify the lost and found."

Tiger Bee Toumi also sighed deeply: "Well, how boring..."

As she said this, she handed the money she had picked up twice to Tiezhuang Zhuili.

"Huh? Tiger Bee-san?"

"It's not wrong for the teacher to stick to his principles, so I'll leave all the money I found to you for you to handle." Tiger Bee Toumi said, "Anyway, I've already felt lucky to have found money on the ground twice."

In comparison, the cash picked up was less than 2,000 yen. Thinking about it calmly, Hufeng Toumi really didn't look down on this little amount of money.
