"The Military Investigation Bureau?"
When he heard this name, Kuroko's face didn't look very good.
"Butei doesn't have the right to investigate in Academy City."
The profession of martial detective is just like that of detective, and is not welcomed by formal departments. Just like no matter how good Sherlock Holmes is at solving cases, he is not liked by the London Police Department. Everyone is annoyed by people who interfere with their work for no reason.
Whether I can solve the problem is my problem, but if you interfere, it becomes your problem. Just because you solve the problem doesn't mean we should worship you as a god.
If anyone can solve a case by reasoning, then why do we need the police? You can just arrest people and lock them up and guard them yourself, and abolish the police position. In the future, let the detectives do the maintenance of public order, and we don't have to do anything. In detective novels, the police are just invisible people who clean up the mess.
Of course, not to mention that there is basically no room for detectives to survive in modern times. Various advanced scientific technologies can fully guarantee the capture of criminals. Therefore, the only value of detectives at the moment is to appear in certain confined spaces to deduce and solve cases.
"I have received permission from the higher-ups in Academy City."
Aria seemed calm, but Kuroko was getting more and more upset.
"Then let me check it first."
As he spoke, Kuroko ignored Fang Zheng and the others and turned back to his chair to start using his computer. This was clearly a local tyrant's way of showing off his power to Guo Jianglong. Although they were martial arts detectives, Academy City was an independent area. It was not under the jurisdiction of the martial arts detectives, and they would not accept their assignments. The maintenance of public security in Academy City was handled by the discipline committee and security guards. A martial arts detective came to the Academy City's territory to cause trouble, and acted so arrogantly.
This naturally made Shirai Kuroko, a member of Academy City, quite unhappy.
But...what is Aria doing here?
Fang Zheng looked at Aria curiously, then narrowed his eyes.
Could it be because of Riko and Frenda? Thinking about it carefully, this possibility is very high. It has only been a few days, and since Aria was able to find Academy City, it means that it is not Riko's fault, which means...
Frenda, you idiot! I told you to be careful!
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly in his heart. He had previously reminded Flanda not to let anyone know of the existence of Academy City, but now, less than a week has passed and they have come to his door? I really don't know what the hell you did, idiot!
I'll settle the score with you when I get back!
Although he was thinking about it, Fang Zheng was not worried about what would happen to Aria's investigation office. After all, Academy City was so big. Besides, he was directly connected to the tree diagram designer. If it didn't work, he could just ask the tree diagram designer to delete some data or something, which would be enough to make Aria run around like a headless fly.
But now, I just happen to have nothing to do.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng concentrated his mind.
Time stopped flowing.
"Okay, let's do it."
Looking at Aria in front of him, Fang Zheng rolled up his sleeves and said, "You happened to come to me by yourself, so let me find where the substance 312 is on you and take it away. I never thought that after searching for a long time, I would find it without any effort. Now I understand the feeling of the hunter who waits for the rabbit to hit the tree by itself."
So Fang Zheng also hummed a song and started to investigate, but...
"No...no...or no?"
He searched Aria's belongings, including her hairpin and wallet, and scanned them with his personal terminal, but could not find any trace of the Triple-One-Two substance.
Is it inside the clothes?
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng looked at Aria again and pondered for a moment.
Well, it’s okay, I’m just taking a look.
However……
"Still no."
Fang Zheng helplessly twirled the skirt in his hands and looked at Aria again.
Could it be that the other party put the 312 substance into the underwear?
This is a bit perverted.
But it is not impossible. After all, Riko said that the substance can allow her to use her abilities, so it is definitely best to carry it close to her.
Now that we have come this far, let’s just continue.
but……
“That’s not even the case.”
Putting down the underwear in his hand, Fang Zheng shook his head, then he stood up again and turned around towards Aria.
There was no place on her body to hide anything now, but her personal terminal still showed that the wavelength was with Aria.
Could it be... in her body?
This is a bit scary.
Fang Zheng knew very well that substance 312 was an inorganic substance after all. It was impossible for such a thing to be completely normal no matter where it was placed in the body. Besides, generally speaking, even if something was stuck in the body, it should be detectable during a physical examination. Even if the instrument could not detect it, the person himself should be able to feel it.
But based on how Fang Zheng had seen Aria operate the parachute before, it didn't seem like she had any physical problems.
Or in the brain?
Scratching his head and looking at Aria in front of him, Fang Zheng was a little embarrassed. It was normal to stop time and take off clothes, but it was a bit abnormal to stop time and then cut a person open. He was only relatively familiar with the human body, but that was the extent.
Besides, Fang Zheng is a planner. He has never studied surgery and has never performed surgery. In the past, when treating others, Fang Zheng usually purifies or cures them. If the condition is more serious, he will directly apply medical glue... Who would want to perform surgery? With Fang Zheng's identity, he obviously does not need to do such bloody things. And if he really can't do it, doesn't he still have the third method and the swarm?
And that thing contains the information left by the Goddess of Order. If Fang Zheng wants to get it out of Aria's body, it will cause a lot of noise. Although he can open the seal, it is probably difficult to smooth things over in this situation. Fang Zheng also doesn't want Aleister and his group to see anything. If it really turns out like this, it will be more troublesome.
Forget it, let's talk about it next time. Anyway, there is plenty of time and opportunity. Since Aria is tracking them, I will find a time to defeat her as Professor Moriarty, and then take the opportunity to find the substance 312 in her body.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, put the clothes back on Aria, and then snapped his fingers.
Time began to flow again.
Afterwards, Fang Zheng left the Discipline Committee with Ming Hu and Alisa.
"Then I'll go first."
Minghu Alisa bowed respectfully to Fang Zheng, and Fang Zheng waved his hand.
"Don't be so polite. By the way, do you want me to take you there? It's hard to carry all the stuff you have."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng pointed at the electronic keyboard and other parts that Minghu Alisa was carrying. These things were not light either. At least when Fang Zheng picked them up just now, he felt that they were heavy enough for ordinary people. And Fang Zheng himself had a car after all, and it was a very high-end one.
After all, it’s not your own money that you’re spending.
"Then thank you very much, Mr. Fang Zheng."
Minghu Alisa didn't act pretentiously, but nodded generously. Then she put the musical instruments behind her into the trunk, and the two got in the car and drove away.
At the same time, Heizi also completed the review.
"...Yes, that's right. Please take a seat, Ms. Kanzaki. Is there anything you can do for us, the Discipline Committee?"
"Well, it's like this..."
As she spoke, Aria found a chair and sat down. However, the moment she sat down, Aria suddenly trembled all over, and the whole person suddenly jumped up stiffly like a puppet. Then her face turned pale, and she reached out her hand to touch behind her, and then her eyes were filled with a bit of surprise and fear.
"Ms. Kanzaki?"
Looking at Aria in confusion, Kuroko frowned and asked, while Aria reached out and pressed the hem of her skirt, then gave a dry laugh.
"Hahaha, um... I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to deal with. Well, let's talk next time!"
After saying this, Aria turned around and slid away like a gust of wind, leaving Kuroko and Uiharu staring at her back in amazement, not knowing what to say.
You came to me on your own initiative, but now you're running away? What does this mean?
What the hell is going on?
The car was speeding on the road, and when Fang Zheng stepped on the brakes, Minghu Alisa almost stumbled out of the passenger seat.
"Wow...Mr. Fang Zheng, your driving skills are really impressive..."
"Really? I think it's okay."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. He didn't understand why so many people who drove their own cars were like this, from the initial driving school instructor to now... After all, he had practiced with Need for Speed many times, and he drove fast and steadily, right?
“All in all, it was an unforgettable experience for me.”
After taking out the instrument and checking it, and taking a few deep breaths, Minghu Alisa finally returned to normal. She would never have thought that someone could drive like this, and Alisa thought she would die on the road a few times... But thank God, or maybe she was lucky enough, she finally arrived at her destination alive.
"Thank you, Mr. Fang Zheng."
"You're welcome. If you have any questions in the future, you can call me or come to the Quantum Neuroscience Institute to find me."
Fang Zheng nodded to Ming Hu Alisa, then returned to the car and put the money in his trouser pocket...
Hmm? What's soft?
Fang Zheng reached out and took it out from his trouser pocket, then unfolded it and took a look.
A triangle with little animals printed on it. Hmm? Why does it look familiar?
Oh, isn't this what Aria was wearing just now...how did it end up in my hand?
…
never mind.
After thinking about it carefully, Fang Zheng quietly put it away.
Just keep it as a souvenir.
