Bionic Era

"Sir, what were you doing from ten o'clock to eleven o'clock last night?"

"I'm in the hotel. It rained heavily last night, so I can't go anywhere." The doctor lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and answered truthfully.

"Were you in your room, or in the lobby on the first floor?"

"My own room."

"Anything to prove?"

"I think the hotel owner can prove it. There must be surveillance here, why don't you ask him?"

So the mechanical deacon found the innkeeper at the front desk.

The hotel owner put on a sad and painful look, and said: "I don't want this kind of thing to happen. Which boss would want this kind of thing to happen at his door? The business will not be good for a while. , Alas, those student couples who have opened rooms will probably find other hotels."

"We need the monitoring of the hotel, I hope you can provide it truthfully."

"Huh? This is troublesome."

The innkeeper let out a long sigh, drooping his head, and said: "The monitoring circuit was bitten by a mouse last month, and I haven't had time to repair it during this period. Alas, it's all my fault, and I don't want to part with the money. If I had known earlier... "

"Please take me to see the damaged line, thank you."

The other mechanical deacons were not idle either.

They're going to pull up surveillance cameras from the streets around here.

However, it is a pity to find that the surveillance system in this area was broken more than 20 years ago, and the cameras were stolen and sold as scrap iron.

The breakfast shop opposite the hotel is not monitored either.

"The person who shot and killed should have been standing at the front desk, face to face with the deceased, and may have had a conversation. The deceased was not a tenant of this hotel."

"The murderer should be someone in the hotel. Did the boss say anything?"

"He said that he went to the toilet and heard a gunshot halfway. When he came back, he found someone dead at the door. In order to protect the scene of the crime, he didn't do anything all night."

"How long did it take you to hear the gunshot?"

"Let's block this hotel first..."

During the investigation, more and more people surrounded the door.

The roads in this city are already narrow, and now there are no roads. People even stood on the second-floor rooftop of the opposite building.

There were people driving to work and yelling and cursing, and the scene was quite noisy for a while.

This is not the first time Lu Wen has seen these mechanical deacons.

They are not bionics, and there is a considerable gap between them. They are closer to the robots in old-fashioned science fiction movies, and their shells are all metal.

But the years have peeled off the paint on those metals, and rust spreads all over the bodies of those robots.

These machines also make toothsome "squeak" sounds when walking, which is particularly uncomfortable to hear. It may be that there is not much lubricating fluid between the joints.

"Sir, where were you last night?" A mechanical deacon asked Lu Wen.

"I've been staying in the hotel and haven't gone anywhere." Lu Wen replied with a smile.

"Is there any proof?"

"You can call the monitoring, the monitoring of the hotel, and the monitoring of the nearby streets. If you take a closer look, you will know that I am not lying."

Lu Wen's attitude is very good, quite sincere.

"The surveillance around here is broken."

"Then I'm sorry, but I really didn't go anywhere last night."

"Did you hear the gunshot last night?"

"I didn't pay much attention to this. There was a lot of thunder last night, and I was watching a movie with headphones on all the time. Even if someone actually shot, I probably wouldn't be able to hear it."

These old robots hit a dead end.

They started to get together, synthesized the clues they got, and discussed them slowly.

The people in the hotel were very cooperative, and they didn't walk around casually.

"The time of death was around ten o'clock."

"Many people reported that they heard gunshots, but others said that there was a lot of thunder at the time, and they were not sure if it was gunshots."

"One shot kills, the murderer is a veteran."

"There are no shell casings and warheads left at the scene..."

People with guns are definitely the prime suspects.

But these mechanical deacons were embarrassed to find that more than half of the people in the entire hotel were armed with guns.

Now is a very special time, there are quite a few foreigners, and they know this.

"The Floating Void City is about to take action. These outsiders are probably here for the Floating Void City. It's very troublesome."

"Has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?"

"It's confirmed, the identity information is valid and correct, I have notified the family of the deceased, they are coming here."

But the family members of the deceased were not the first to arrive.

Several black cars were parked on the side of the crowded street, and more than a dozen people got out of the car.

These people are very special, as long as the arms are exposed, you can see a tattoo of a city on the forearm, and the appearance of the tattooed city is very similar to the city floating in the sky.

The crowd dispersed more than half immediately, giving way to a passage.

"It's a person from the temple."

"The dead guy also had tattoos on his arm, and he was also a member of the temple. It must be that the two forces are fighting again."

People were whispering.

People in Central City often talked about these two organizations after dinner, but no one dared to speak out loudly in person, unless they resented themselves for living too long.

Not long after, people from another organization also arrived.

Of course it was for the show.

The secret door, this organization has always opposed the floating city, telling people that the floating city restricts the development of the central city below, controls everyone's thoughts, and prevents people from accessing a complete education.

"Gentlemen and ladies, please do not leave the hotel for too long these days, we may still conduct certain inquiries and investigations."

These mechanical deacons bowed slightly to apologize, and then lifted the blockade.

Being idle is not an option.

Road congestion is a big problem, so they have to go back first and investigate slowly.

They took the body at the door.

The family members of the deceased who had just arrived also left together.

It's just that the family members of the deceased were more particular about their work. In less than half an hour, they bought a wreath and placed the big wreath at the entrance of the hotel.

The innkeeper's face turned green.

How do you do business?

He was about to go out and remove the wreath a little, when someone from the temple walked in.

Then there's the cheesy plot.

Threats and things like that.

"Our two brothers died last night, if you let me know..."

With a fierce look on his face, he swung the gun around twice from time to time.

Those clichés are probably learned from some movies.

Lu Wen can even deduce the epilogue based on their preamble.

He talked harshly for half an hour.

The people in the lobby on the first floor were full of food and drink, belching and wiping their mouths, and the guys from the temple were willing to leave.

Before leaving, there was a guy still holding the boss's collar.

He repeated the essence of those cruel words before.

The boss nodded repeatedly, and said that if he knew who did it, he would tell them immediately.

"It's almost the same. If you hide anything, you know what will happen!"

After the harsh words, these guys turned around in a cool manner.

Ordinary people are more afraid of them and hide far away.

The weather was already bad, and the sky was gloomy. The sense of oppression brought by this group of people was quite great for ordinary people, making the already gloomy streets seem a bit darker.

They didn't get entangled with the guys from the secret door who came to watch the show, they got into the car directly, and drove away.

After more than ten seconds.

Those cars hadn't driven very far.

Just heard a few loud bangs.

This black and white gloomy world suddenly has some colorful fire lights.

Scarlet blood and shattered limbs flew across the sky, accompanied by countless blown car parts.

If only this scene could be stilled.

Must be quite a beautiful work of art.

...

Good night, fellow readers!

Thank you book friends for the ashes that are out of stock, and the rewards of a few dollars in life.
