Bionic Era

"Didn't you say you know everything?" Lu Wen looked at him lightly.

"Mr. Lu, this... It's something that concerns my life, I really can't open my mouth." The homeless man looked helpless.

"Let me think about it, someone gave you a sum of money and asked you to leave those streets for a few days, and you must prevent other homeless people from entering, and you cannot tell others about it."

Lu Wen looked at the homeless people around.

Since those streets were empty, the homeless people on this side of the street became denser.

"If you tell others about this, those people will not only take your money, but also your life?"

"This this……"

"In fact, he could have a better way, such as killing you directly, but the homeless can't be killed. If you kill you, another group of homeless will enter those streets. Every homeless person may became a witness, so he chose another way, to manage the homeless with the homeless."

The homeless man in front of him is one of the people in charge of management.

"Are you afraid, are you afraid of death?" Lu Wen asked lightly.

"Mr. Lu...you...you better stop asking, just leave quickly, your life is at stake."

"Okay, come with me. You are living in the Thirteenth District Executive Bureau these days. No one can kill you. I need you to testify in two days. What's your name?"

"I...my name is Yunhe"

"This name is not bad, Yunhe. If nothing happens, your name will be recorded in some historical materials."

"Really?"

"certainly."

Lu Wen carried him and drove back to the Executive Bureau of the Thirteenth District.

That counts as a witness.

Halfway through, Lu Wen took him to take a shower, changed into new clothes, and called the executive bureau to vacate an empty room.

"I... Do I really want to live in the executive bureau?" Yunhe stammered, seeming to have a natural fear of this kind of place.

"You didn't do anything wrong, what are you afraid of?"

"When I was a child, I stole the sheep that the kid next door from the Li family kept."

"..."

Lu Wen brought him to the executive bureau.

He gave a serious warning, saying that this person is a very important witness, and then left.

What follows is a lengthy analysis.

"That old guy has been thinking about Wei Bo'an several days ago. This is a premeditated case, and he will definitely arrange for someone to visit the site in advance."

"Suspicious vehicles must have appeared on these streets last night."

But the monitoring of these streets is gone.

Therefore, Lu Wen can only observe the people entering and leaving these streets through the surveillance of other streets.

After observing for a long time, the effect is very small.

There was a lot of traffic all day yesterday. There are three underground parking lots and two aerial parking lots in the community of these streets. There are a huge number of private cars.

With Lu Wen's authority, it is possible to apply for satellite monitoring.

But it's weird.

Now the parliament's satellites in orbit can be said to have covered the entire planet, but the two satellites that were supposed to pass over this area yesterday had problems.

"This old guy is really particular about what he does, and he refuses to leave any clues."

Yunhe can only be regarded as a half-personal ID. He only knows that someone paid them to leave this area, and he doesn't even know the name of that person.

In this way, the time slowly came to night.

After a whole day of investigation, the current progress is almost zero.

The night is getting darker.

on the other side.

Yin Liuyue received a call again, and she was told that the production had already started, and she had no more worries.

Around ten o'clock at night.

Lu Wen returned to the executive bureau of the thirteenth district and looked at Yunhe.

The guy is quite comfortable here.

At the beginning, he didn't dare to talk to people, but now he has become one with those cleaning aunts and uncles, helping to clean up if he has nothing to do.

In his words, after all, room and board are included here, so he has to do things.

"Mr. Lu, how long can I stay here?"

"There are still two or three days, soon, I will call you naturally."

After a few words of advice, Lu Wen drove back.

The thirteenth district at night became as cold as ever.

The number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, and homeless people in twos and threes leaned against the streets and alleys.

The dense fog slowly hit.

Although it is summer, the temperature at night can still make people feel cold.

Lu Wen slowed down the speed of the car.

Kind of abnormal.

"It's so quiet..."

He looked around.

The gray-white mist is getting thicker and thicker, and the visibility is quite low.

"Are you going to hit me?"

Now this road is the only way for Lu Wen to go home every day.

Lu Wen has the monitoring authority of the thirteenth district.

He called the real-time monitoring of the current street.

as expected.

Something went wrong with the surveillance, and the surveillance video showed the footage from past ten o'clock last night.

Lu Wen smiled faintly, opened the door and got out of the car.

He leaned on the car body and said seriously: "Call you stupid, but you are also an old fritter who has lived for decades, and can make Wei Bo'an disappear without a sound, but say you are smart...I have already told you today You, I have a data backup, how stupid do you have to be to send someone to kidnap a bionic person?"

Empty streets.

No response.

Lu Wen seemed to be talking to himself.

But shortly after he finished speaking, the surveillance video suddenly resumed.

The screen has changed to the current real-time monitoring.

"Just leave like this?"

Lu Wen frowned.

"It seems to be a warning, tell me not to interfere again."

But this time the warning was ineffective.

Lu Wen's attitude was quite tough, so the old guy probably thought of other countermeasures.

What's the best way to kill a android who's hiding a backup of his data?

Lu Wen thought for a while, if he was that old guy, he would definitely start with the people around him.

Things like data backup must be handed over to the most trusted person for safekeeping.

That's only Xia Chuluo.

"Do you have the guts to attack Xia Chuluo?"

Lu Wen shook his head and returned to the car.

...

late at night.

You can hear a lot of insect chirping on summer nights.

A middle-aged man was sitting by the hospital bed, looking at the night outside the window, wisps of summer night wind blowing in from the window.

Windows are fitted with guardrails.

It's not to prevent theft, but to worry about these patients running out.

This is a mental hospital.

His name is Zhen Yingcai, the younger brother of the current mayor.

Many people feel that it is a pity that the current mayor, who is thrifty, strives for the benefit of the people, and has noble morals, has a mentally ill younger brother.

"Ding ding ding..."

Very strange sound.

rather faint.

This voice is from outside.

Zhen Yingcai was about to get up to look for the source of the sound, when she saw a spider lying on the window. The spider's eyes were closed at first, but now slowly opened, glowing red.

This is a mechanical spider, and the spider's body can just pass through the protective fence.

"You..." Zhen Yingcai opened her mouth, and was about to ask the other party why she came.

"Don't worry, I'm not sent by your brother or the mental hospital to test you, nor is it a hallucination after you take drugs. I just want to ask something."

"There are surveillance cameras here." Zhen Yingcai pointed to the corner of his room.

He knew that his brother would not be so boring and send someone to test him.

And there is monitoring, so there is no need to worry about him doing something out of the ordinary.

"It's not just your brother who can break the monitoring."

The spider jumped out of the window and jumped to the bedside in a few strokes.

"Close the windows and draw the curtains."

Zhen Ying did it.

He's here alone or bored.

Other mental patients can still go out every day to let the wind go, but he has been locked here, like a prisoner.

The spider slowly raised its two metallic mechanical legs.

Two beams of light shot out from the bottom of the legs, slowly intertwined into a human shape.

This is what Lu Wenzhu looks like in person.

He sat by the bed and looked at Zhen Yingcai.

"My reason for coming is relatively simple. It is to bring down your brother. If you agree, answer my question and tell me everything you know."

Lu Wen paused.

"If you don't agree, I'll kill you."

Zhen Yingcai gave a wry smile and asked, "Why are you threatening so directly?"

"Because the situation outside is quite urgent now."

"Okay, I agree, you can ask."

Zhen Yingcai moved a stool from her room and sat opposite Lu Wen.

"first question."

Lu Wen looked at him with a calm expression.

"I found out that your brother really does everything for money, whether it's small money or big money, as long as he has a chance to get his hands on it, even if it's only a few thousand dollars, he will move. He's a mayor anyway. One of the only nine big men in this world... how poor were you when you were young?"

The mayor has no so-called bottom line at all for money.

In fact, when you are in his position, you only need to wave your hand, and the money will come automatically.

For example, Du Changqing, the former head of the executive bureau of the fifteenth district.

Du Changqing's way of getting money is quite in line with his identity. Usually he will not take the initiative to ask for money, but wait for others to send the money.

But Zhen Yingjie...

"I've never seen such a man with no lower limit."

This little old man really has the mentality of a petty citizen.

"It seems that you have also investigated. My family was indeed poor when I was young."

Zhen Yingjie didn't deny it, he just said it out.

"My brother has liked money since he was a child, but he is very frugal, or... stingy."

"Yeah?"

"You won't believe it. He used all kinds of methods to get so much money, but until the day I entered the mental hospital, he didn't spend any of that money."

When it comes to the mayor, everyone's first impression is to blame the council.

As for the second impression, it must be frugal.

A piece of clothing can be worn for more than ten years, even if it has been washed until it turns white, or even has holes, it still continues to be worn.

Zhen Yingjie would only wear his few formal suits when attending formal occasions.

That's why the common people felt at ease and handed over such a large city to him for management.

Zhen Yingcai sighed and spoke slowly.

"It's a sense of satisfaction, the satisfaction of collecting money, this feeling... If you have experienced poverty, you will understand."
