In the bustling area, several police cars were parked in front of a club named "Yan". The entrance was isolated by a bright yellow warning tape. More than a dozen policemen came and went in and out in the rain.Witnesses talked.

There was no lack of good media to spy on with long guns and short cannons, but they were all stopped by the security personnel of the clubhouse.Deng Huailing showed his bounty hunter ID and returned it to him after the security check. He glanced at Rosie behind him: "You can enter, but..."

"He is my bionic partner." Deng Huailing said.

"I was a little distracted, and I didn't see it all at once." Anbao apologized, "He looks like a human being."

Deng Huailing didn't say any more, and entered the clubhouse after pulling off the security tape. Rosie followed, turned around and smiled gently at the security personnel: "Thank you."

This is an elegant clubhouse that claims to be a Chinese-style building, but the people who designed it didn't have the patience to examine the lost documents, so many elements are a strange mixture of Chinese and Japanese styles.There were pale yellow lanterns hanging under the eaves, and the two passed by on the wet cobblestones, with holographic cherry blossoms falling at their feet.

The word "banquet" was formed by blue and purple LED lights in front of the door. Under the signboard, Deng Huailing once again showed his ID to the police officer who was docking with him. The other party nodded and told him: "I am the person in charge of this case, TakasakiYuuya. Please follow me, Mr. Tang."

Cesina's situation is extremely special, and the police are often assisted by the bounty hunter as the main investigation.This is because the crime rate in the city is rising year by year, bloody cases emerge in endlessly, and due to the relationship between body modification, the murderer has become complicated and dangerous.The police force is not enough to deal with these special cases. After many police strikes, the government finally established a bounty system, and hired hunters with stronger individual strength to chase the real culprits with high rewards.

Takasaki is such a policeman, and his role is more like a civilian, providing information and assistance to the bounty hunters.

"After we received the report and surveyed the scene, we entrusted Igor to contact the appropriate hunter." Takasaki said while leading the way, "This case is beyond the scope of the police station, and we need your help."

"Do you think it has something to do with 'skill'?" Deng Huailing was thoughtful.If it was an ordinary murder case, there was no need for Igor to call him over in the early morning. The deceased must have been involved in a major way.

"It seems so at the moment," Takasaki said. "You may be surprised when you see the dead."

They continued along the teak floor, and all the guests in the "banquet" had been cleared, and the celadon cups contained cold tea.At the end of the corridor, Takasaki pushed open a paper door, and a strong fishy smell came out immediately.

On the paper door and the wall, spray-like blood stains were like exclamation points, and there were traces of dragging on the ground. Obviously, the deceased did not lose consciousness immediately and wanted to flee the scene.However, they all noticed one thing—the blood stain was dark blue, and the smell that filled the room was not blood, but a smell similar to motor oil.

Deng Huailing frowned: "The one who was killed was a bionic person?"

"Not only that, she is the most famous bionic actress of Cecina." Takasaki couldn't help sighing, "You've probably heard of Mary Ellis, her smile is known as the 'smile at the beginning of the century'.”

The body of the killed actress was lying on the ground, her face turned sideways.She kept her hands on the ground, and there was a bullet hole in her back, and blue blood flowed from it.As if struggling to crawl out, the murderer shot her again in the back, and then completely stopped moving.

Deng Huailing remembered her. At the charity reception at eight o'clock last night, he saw the name of Mary Ellis listed together with the mayor's name, and there was also a large advertising screen for her in Jinyin Square.In recent years, as a popular superstar in Cesina City, she has frequently appeared in the public eye, leaving a mark on the hearts of the public with her sweet and pure smile. Even a person like Deng Huailing who knows nothing about the entertainment industry,I also have some impressions of her.

"Are you her fan?" Deng Huailing squatted down next to the corpse.Although grammatically it is a question, there is no doubt in reality.

"Ah... yes, but I will try not to bring my personal emotions into my work." Takasaki touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "However, from Cesina's point of view, she also has a very important symbol."Meaning, people looking at her smile, it's like returning to the quiet life before the war; but now that she is dead, there must be many people like me who are upset."

"CyberRose can fix her, and make a thousand more of her if they want."

"It can't be repaired, her memory center has been taken away." Takasaki's tone was a little depressed, and he grabbed his hair, "Mary is special, she has a temperament that machines can't imitate. The company tried to copy it, but all failed.No one can laugh like she does."

"But she is just a bionic person, not the only special existence." Deng Huailing hit the nail on the head.He began to feel that the fan was being overly sentimental.

Takasaki still wanted to explain something, but finally gave up, and just said with a lonely expression: "You will understand." He stood there in a daze, but there was a touch on his shoulder. It was the bionic man brought by the bounty hunter.hands on his shoulders.

Rosie said: "I understand your feelings. We will assist the police to find the murderer. After regaining the memory center, maybe Miss Ellis can recover as Mr. Deng said."

"I asked you to come here not to compete with the companion bionics." Before Gao Qi could show his grateful expression, Deng Huailing reminded, "Come here and do business."

Rosie followed obediently.Takasaki handed them the initial report of the scene and the autopsy. There were no fingerprints, no hair loss, and the surveillance was hacked and deleted. The murderer wiped all the traces, and then escaped through the wide open window.

"This bullet model," Deng Huailing rubbed the screen, and the 3D bullet model on it kept rotating, "it is the same specification as the one used by the rebels in the attack on the reception."

"Yes, so we judged that after the terrorist attack, Mary Ellis came to this club for some unknown reason, and was killed by 'shu' while taking advantage of the chaos." Takasaki said, "However, there are severalquestion……"

Deng Huailing nodded: "Why did she come here after the terrorist attack and during the dangerous time of the curfew? Did she come alone? If not, who invited her?"

When Deng Huailing and Rosie walked out of the "banquet", it was already daylight, and there were still reporters hovering outside the door in twos and threes, but the number was much smaller than at night.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the curfew was lifted on time, and Cecina woke up from her deep sleep.After screening and monitoring all night long, the police finally determined the identity of the murderer. He was the same as the rebels who appeared in Jinyin Square. He was a tall, thin young man wearing a white armband.Video, but there are always omissions in the rush.

For the rest, the police entrusted CyberRose to help locate the murderer.The super artificial intelligence Rose developed by the company is in charge of the monitoring and identification of the entire city. She is like a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, and its roots penetrate every corner.

As for Deng Huailing, if the police are responsible for "investigating", he is responsible for acting as a thug.However, the whereabouts of the murderer were still being traced, so he had to find a room in the "banquet" to rest and wait for the part he was responsible for.

From four o'clock to seven o'clock, there was still no movement. He told Gao Qi that he was going out to buy breakfast, and he would not leave too far, so he took Rosie out of the door.As soon as they went out, they were immediately surrounded by the rest of the reporters, and a series of questions were thrown over their heads:

"Hi, are you a staff member of 'Yan'? Can you briefly describe the case to us? Is the deceased an extremely prominent figure as the rumors say?"

"Is it Mr. Deng Huailing? I had the honor to see you in the "Hunting Group" magazine. Are you commissioned by the government to investigate this matter?"

"Sir, please give me a moment, I would like to conduct a short interview with you..."

Deng Huailing turned a deaf ear to the media's offensive, put on the sunglasses hanging on his neckline again, and squeezed past with a defiant look.Rosie had never seen such a scene before, she was in a daze, and Deng Huailing pulled her out of the crowd together.

"They seem to have been waiting all night, Mr. Deng, don't you want to say something?" Rosie asked tentatively.Deng Huailing dragged him into the car, slammed the door, and started the engine.

"If I say so, those reporters will die." Deng Huailing feels that he has explained more and more times recently. Rosie is like a curious child who doesn't understand human affairs, and he never refuses to explain, "The government will never allow this to leak out, and once the identity of the deceased is publicized, it will cause panic."

"But my program says not to hide from humans, any details, any secrets." Rosie said, "Can humans hide from humans?"

"That's right," Deng Huailing casually replied while holding the steering wheel, "Human beings are a hundred times more cunning than you, especially me."

Rosie smiled."Mr. Deng, you are the most sincere human being I have ever seen."

Deng Huailing was noncommittal: "How dare you say that after seeing a few humans?"

They happened to be rush hour, and the road was jammed with vehicles as far as the eye could see.The rainy day has passed, the dark clouds have cleared, and the sun is shining on these steel monsters who shout at each other.In the traffic flow, several maverick cars slowly floated into the air, and flew away along the air track.

Cesina has popularized the automatic driving system. The vehicles equipped with this system are uniformly deployed by the artificial intelligence Rose, and theoretically there will be no traffic jams and traffic accidents-in theory.The fact is that self-driving models are too expensive, and a considerable number of people are still driving manually, which seriously disrupts the rhythm of the system and causes more frequent congestion.

So the suspension car came into being. Although the price is frighteningly expensive, it can get out of the predicament under such circumstances.Rosie tried to read the model information of the surrounding vehicles, and was surprised to find that Deng Huailing's car was not only driven manually, but also the cheapest gear.

"Still the strangest human being I've ever seen." Rosie added.Deng Huailing must be keeping a secret, the other party's salary is so high, but life is so tight; but this secret may not be explained, he gradually understands that the obvious difference between human beings and bionics is that human beings are born to hide.

Just as the bounty hunter was about to answer, he suddenly froze.Rosie looked in the direction of the other party's gaze, and there was a huge advertising screen.

No, more than one.In addition to hundreds of screens, the holographic display windows projected by shops on the street, the ever-changing wide-screen advertising columns on the platform, and the car TVs in traffic jams all started playing the same TV program in unison just after half past seven.video.

It seemed to be a promotional video, and the overlapping background sound echoed over the city.The subtitles were played as the screen changed: "The past ten years have witnessed the tragedy of this beautiful city..."

In the picture, the square intertwined with gold and silver is so familiar.Deng Huailing was stunned for a moment, a bad premonition flashed through his mind, and then he saw the burning building, and his own figure passing by in the ruins.

—and then, along with the whole city, he saw Rosie.
