Bionic Era

Chapter 24 The Shadow of the Light Chaser

"A wealthy family."

Lu Wen said with deep emotion.

The two followed Li Jian to his home.

This Li Jian actually built a villa in a circle of land in the city. The Western-style building is as gorgeous as a palace. A huge crystal chandelier runs through the stairwell from the first floor to the third floor.

The appearance of the villa is very similar to the manor in The Great Gatsby.

"With so much money, why don't you just hire a hundred or ten bodyguards?" Lu Wen walked past each calligraphy and painting, and analyzed it with his own analysis system, only three of which were fakes.

"Li Jian, who was the first to die, thought so too. Be careful of the dangers around you." Xia Chuluo sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, and picked up a photo under the coffee table.

In the photo are a group of children, and in the center is an adult. Judging by his appearance, he is Li Jian when he was young.

There are words of thanks behind the photo.

There are many more photos like this.

Some are framed and hang on the wall, others are stored in a drawer, under the coffee table.

Photographs are also displayed on some of the display cases.

"Two distinguished guests, wait a moment, I will take off the body armor first."

Li Jian's voice came from a certain bedroom.

"Bullet armor?"

Is the protection when going out so comprehensive?

No wonder he was sweating profusely after just jogging for a while. It was already May, and he was still wearing a body armor. After all, Li Jian was not a soldier, but a fat middle-aged man. It was really not easy.

"Why are there so many photos at home?"

Lu Wen also picked up a photo.

The contents of the photos are roughly similar, a group of children and Li Jian.

The words of thanks behind it, the meaning expressed, is basically to thank Li Jian for his donation, so that these children can complete their studies.

"Sure enough, rich people like to engage in charity."

Lu Wen felt that there might be too much money.

There is nowhere to spend it.

"Lu Wen, go online and check things."

"OK."

Lu Wen understood, and began to search for information about Li Jian on the Internet.

Soon, a series of data was downloaded and packaged by him, and sent to Xia Chuluo.

"To be honest, you are much easier to use than those bionics who have not awakened." Xia Chuluo was obviously very satisfied that she and Lu Wen had a tacit understanding so quickly.

Change to those ordinary androids.

Only one reply: what to check?

Lu Wen also looked through Li Jian's information, and found that this person was really not what he thought.

"When this person was very young, before his career started, he started to support those poor children as soon as he was poor."

"From this point of view, apart from being a little cowardly and showing off at home, he is still a pretty good person."

Xia Chuluo quickly flipped through a file on the phone, and came to a similar conclusion.

Not long after, Li Jian changed into light clothes.

The body armor is two pieces thick, and after taking it off, the guy's belly still doesn't shrink, as if he didn't take it off.

There are hidden advantages to being fat.

Before they could say anything, he started to work again, taking out the tea set and making tea for them.

"There is no servant in such a big family?" Lu Wen asked.

"Hey, I used to hire bionics, who would have thought that such a thing would happen." Li Jian sighed with a sad face.

The bionics are obedient, perform tasks according to instructions, and have passed the Turing test, so they are very intelligent.

But the last three Li Jian were all killed by bionics.

Only one died this morning.

According to the murderer's habits, it was only two days before the next Li Jian was cool.

In this city, anyone named Li Jian who knows the news is now in a similar state to this Li Jian, full of worries.

This Li Jian can think of changing his name, but he really has no choice but to do so.

"You're the only one at home?"

Lu Wen was in charge of most of the interviews.

He is not used to this kind of empty big villa, and prefers to stay alone in a small room.

Of course, I had no money in my previous life and never experienced a big villa.

After experiencing it in this life, I realized that I am not very used to it.

"Hey, this... I..." Li Jian hesitated.

"Understood, it's not unreasonable for a widow to have an illness." Xia Chuluo said it directly as usual.

Li Jianpang blushed and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

Several people chatted a few words.

It turned out that Li Jian had a failed marriage when he was very young.

Although he didn't say why, Lu Wen speculated that it might be because he didn't have children.

"Once I went to those remote towns for inspection. It was winter, and I saw many children, all dressed in tatters, and their faces were blue from the cold. At that time, I felt uncomfortable and wanted to do something. I don’t have much money, so I can donate as much as I can, and I’ve come here after so many years.” Li Jian told them the origin of these photos.

He took out a few photos from his pocket, and said with a smile: "I put a few photos in my clothes. Actually, I don't really believe in those gods and Buddhas, as long as I have the blessings of the children."

"You are a good man, and you will surely live a long life."

Lu Wen said with a smile.

As soon as he said it, he felt something was wrong.

This is not a flag for Li Jian...

"Well... I changed my name... Can I keep the rest of the Executive Board from knowing..."

As Li Jian spoke, he took out a white bank card from his pocket and pushed it in front of Lu Wen, but his eyes remained on Xia Chuluo.

It was obvious that Xia Chuluo was in charge.

A third-level executive officer is close to the authority of the chief executive, and it is quite simple to change a person's name.

"Your character design also collapsed too quickly." Lu Wen held his forehead speechlessly, "Can't you stand up to praise?"

"This... this... people have two sides, and life is not a TV series, so there are no absolute good guys and bad guys." Li Jian smiled helplessly, "I really haven't lived enough."

"Put the card back." Xia Chuluo said lightly, "The murderer has a very strong purpose in committing the crime, and he may have chosen his target long ago. If he really wants to attack you, even if you change your name now, it will be useless. "

"Then... what should I do?"

"I'll send someone over to protect your safety. Don't worry, in the executive bureau, except for the interns who don't have a handle, everyone else is the elite of the elite."

Xia Chuluo put down the teacup in his hand, retracted his crossed legs, and stood up.

She looked around for a week, as if she wanted to record the layout of the entire room.

"Lu Wen, connect to the network of the executive bureau, and issue a reward, 200,000, for traces of the murderer."

"no problem."

No reward was issued before, mainly because of fear of causing social panic.

But now, it doesn't matter so much.

Anyway, it's the executive board's money.

soon.

The news is out.

Looking out through the glass window of Li Jian's house, outside a skyscraper, a huge projection news scrolled.

Among them is the reward message.

They chatted for a while and comforted Li Jian.

Half an hour later, seeing that it was getting late, the two left Li Jian's villa.

Evenings are especially charming after rain.

The golden glow reflected in the cold steel city, elongating the shadows of pedestrians on the road.

The shadow can't speak, it has been chasing the light all its life.
