Bionic Era

"Perhaps you are right. The murderer stands in the perspective of a law enforcement officer, trying to judge those guilty and inflicting pain on them," Lu Wen said.

"But if everyone is a law-enforcer, the order of this world will be chaotic." Wei Bo'an saw that Lu Wen's state was not right, so he said quickly.

"Suddenly I don't want to go after the murderer."

"Xia Chuluo has so many advantages, why did you learn this biggest shortcoming?"

Wei Bo'an also knew that Xia Chuluo liked to let go of people she felt were innocent.

Even if that person has a murder case in his hand.

And Xia Chuluo learned from her father Xia Zheng.

When the slums were cleared up in the summer, none of the heinous ones were left behind, and all of them were executed. Although some had lives in their hands, they did so out of necessity, so they saved their lives to improve the slums, for the sake of order in the slums. Build the skeleton.

"There are two unresolved issues in this case."

Lu Wen turned to look at Wei Boan.

"The first is where the money came from."

"It's been more than ten years, too long. Ordinary city surveillance can only be stored for one month, and special areas, such as the surveillance around the parliament building, will be permanently stored."

It is impossible to know where the deceased was wandering by relying on surveillance.

Lu Wen thought of the young man from the next-door village that the aunt was talking about.

Going to have a look tomorrow.

"There is a second question. The murderer left clues at the lawyer's home last time, telling us where the next dead person will be. He should also leave clues this time. Did you find anything?"

"not yet."

It's almost eleven o'clock at night now.

Even the rural areas that sleep late have started to turn off the lights one after another.

Most of the people from the executive bureau have already driven back overnight, and there is nothing worth exploring in the follow-up here, just leave the relevant personnel behind.

"Found a book of poetry."

Someone posted a message in a public channel.

Wei Boan read it out.

"Oh? Where did you find it? I've looked through several rooms before." Lu Wen asked.

"Put it under the TV and put it together with some children's books. You were mainly looking for two bedrooms just now, and you may have overlooked the most obvious living room."

"Right."

The two hurried back to the scene.

The inspector handed them the poetry book.

"Tagore's collection of poems has also been torn out a lot. The first poem that remains is "Firefly".

Oppression, bullying, darkness.

But there is always a faint light in the darkness, guiding the way forward.

"What do you think the murderer meant? Asked us to find a village with more fireflies?" Wei Bo'an asked.

"No, it shouldn't be a village anymore. The location of the murderer's crime is not fixed. Let me think about it carefully..."

It's hard to say what that firefly actually stands for.

It is now June and the temperature is gradually rising.

Judging from the past years, fireflies are about to start appearing in various places in the countryside and forests.

"Are there any related scenic spots in District 10, which is famous for fireflies in summer?"

"Let me check."

"You actually want to check all this?"

"The head of the executive bureau is very busy. In a district of more than 10 million people, there are a lot of troubles every day. If a child's head is stuck in the fence, he will call him. How can he have time to go to those so-called scenic spots?"

All-round executive.

The main business is to fight against awakened androids.

Side business includes solving crimes, unlocking locks, putting out fires, saving people, finding pets...

"You check first, I'll check again, the murderer left two clues last time, one is a collection of poems, the other is an orchid, this time there may be two..."

"Go and see, I'll tell you as soon as I have news."

There are still many people busy in the living room.

Gathering evidence is a tedious task.

Some murderers with strong psychological quality like to forge the scene, or directly clean up the scene.

Just like when Li Meng asked Lu Wen to clean up the blood.

In order to prevent the blood from being detected, Lu Wen specially washed it with bleach several times, but that method is only effective in the short term, and it will be exposed after a long time.

Li Meng is very smart, and among the bionics Lu Wen has seen, she is considered to have a high IQ, but the original function chip of the housekeeping type limits her performance.

"Is there any blood test elsewhere?"

"The inspection has not yet started. The site has suffered serious damage, and the progress is currently relatively slow."

Lu Wen walked around all the rooms.

If there really is a second clue...

If he is a murderer.

Where would he put the clues?

Last time it was placed directly on the balcony, an obvious place.

It shouldn't be too hard to find this time.

"The balcony is the place you can see when you walk in the gate, it's just outside the living room, but this kind of rural self-built bungalow doesn't have a balcony."

Lu Wen returned to the gate.

"When you walk in the door, the first thing you see..."

The innermost wall.

There is an alphabet on the wall.

"firefly……"

Lu Wen pondered for a while.

A thought, like a kindling in the dark night, suddenly started to burn in his confused mind.

"You all stop what you're doing, and I'm going to turn off the lights once." Lu Wen said loudly to everyone in the room.

"Why?"

"Just do what he said, after all, Boss Wei invited you here."

"..."

Everyone stopped their work in unison.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, when I should have taken a break long ago, I was indeed a little tired from work at this point.

"Snapped!"

Lu Wen turned off the light in the living room.

Total darkness.

The light outside made it difficult for some people at the door to see each other's faces clearly.

"Then what do we do?" someone asked.

"You don't have to do anything, just leave it to me."

Lu Wen walked to the innermost wall of the living room.

He slowly raised his right hand.

The bionic material on the surface slowly retreated.

Purple light shines from the palm, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

"There are words!"

"It's the alphabet!"

Everyone in the room looked at this.

Twenty-six letters.

Under the reflection of the purple light, there are four letters glowing faintly.

"E...C...M...O..."

Not like a word.

More like an acronym.

This should be the second clue left by the murderer.

"ECMO, which is the abbreviation of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, is a medical device, very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it." Wei Boan said standing at the door.

"What does the murderer mean by leaving this? Could it be that the next target is a doctor?"

Lu Wen slowly returned to the door, and turned on the light with a 'snap'.

Can this kind of profession of healing and saving lives have anything to do with sin?

It seems that news of this does occasionally break out.

"How many ECMOs are there in District 10?"

"I'll check again."

"Check again..."

After a while, the result came out.

"Nine units."

"so little?"
