Chapter 1 New case
"Director, please think of a solution anyway. Is there really no other outcome?" In the office of the municipal bureau director, a young superintendent in his twenties was standing next to the slightly bald director in his fifties.
Begging in front of me.
"Aaron, it's not me who makes the decision, but someone higher up. I'm just a tool to execute orders. I know that you are one of the best on-site investigators in the bureau, and I also know that you insist on going to the scene in person because you have your own concerns.
, times have changed, you are much younger than me, you should accept the reality." The director's attitude towards this stubborn young man was still polite, but he didn't do anything that he should insist on.
Let go.
"But..." Aaron opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something more, but then fell silent again.
"Wait a minute, I'll answer the phone." The director just sighed.
The director could be seen closing his eyes, nodding for a while and frowning for a while. This scene, which looked very funny to others, lasted for three to five minutes before it ended.
"There is no need to hand in the investigator's qualification certificate yet. You are lucky. The automatic chip factory in District 22 just reported a case. It may be a murder involving virtual intelligence." Opening his eyes again, the director said.
"It's not an accident?" Aaron looked surprised.
"Yes, it can't be an accident. You will understand when you arrive at the scene." The director nodded.
"Murder cases involving virtual intelligence have been assigned to the Intelligence Management Bureau. Is it appropriate for the police department to intervene now?" Aaron asked slightly worriedly.
"Those nerds in the Intelligent Management Bureau know nothing about solving crimes!" Hearing what the young superintendent said, the director suddenly cursed, "We have been protecting this city since the day it was born, how can we hand over such an important responsibility to
A group of rookies who have only established an organization for less than three years? You can go check it out, if the management has any objections, I will support you!"
"Okay, I'm relieved because of what you said, Chief." With this reply, Aaron secretly laughed at what the Chief, an old fox, told him every day. The bounden duty of the police is to obey the orders of superiors. The orders of superiors really threatened the value of his existence.
He was not lenient at all.
"Wait, we haven't finished talking yet." Thinking that the young superintendent was leaving next, the director quickly stopped him, "You have to bring a terminal with you."
"Director, you know I can't trust those things, why don't I bring them with me?" Aaron frowned upon hearing this, with a look of reluctance on his face.
"No, a cross-department joint investigation must have representatives from all parties involved. This is a strict rule. The bureau cannot give people any excuses in such a place." The director shook his head solemnly.
"...Okay, when will the terminal be in place?" Knowing that the director's expression meant that the matter was really not negotiable, Aaron had no choice but to accept it.
"They said they were waiting outside the door." The chief pointed to the door behind the superintendent.
"Ah?" Aaron turned his head in surprise and opened the door. Sure enough, there was a humanoid mobile terminal belonging to the Intelligent Management Bureau standing outside.
It was a mobile terminal with the appearance of a young woman with short hair. The background color was black, and the hair reflected back a mysterious purple tone when it was illuminated by the sun. The figure and appearance were both 3D printed products.
It is a type that is stunning at first glance but becomes more and more attractive the more you look at it. If it weren't for the breathing light just above its eyebrows that flashes a faint blue light regularly, it would be impossible to tell the difference between it and humans with the naked eye.
One of the reasons Aaron doesn't like humanoid mobile terminals is that they look so much like humans that they evoke an inexplicable fear deep in his genes.
"Affiliated to the Jincheng City Intelligent Management Bureau, the investigation-type intelligent activity terminal, Blue 228, reports to Superintendent Chen Long." The terminal showed a perfect smile on its face and gave Aaron a standard military salute.
Blue 228 is the eighth "blue" model mobile terminal in Area 22. Chen Long can roughly guess the naming method of this terminal, and sincerely feels that the nerds in the Intelligent Management Bureau do not understand romance.
"Along, cooperate well with the administration." Seeing that Aaron didn't seem to want to deal with the terminal, the director warned from behind.
"Okay, okay, I'm Chen Long, are you a remote control type or a self-disciplined type?" Aaron asked the terminal with a depressed face.
"Self-discipline type, you can switch to remote control type when necessary." Blue 228 gave a precise answer.
"Since it is a necessary step for cross-department cooperation, I will accept it. However, when you switch from self-discipline mode to remote control mode, you must notify me in advance. I don't want the other party to be unaware of the change of people while talking." To one.
An angry machine will only make you look stupid, so Aaron just said what he cared about most.
"Confirm, the request has been recorded in the memo." Lan 228 nodded seriously.
"Director, I'm going to go now." Aaron turned around and said to the director.
"Go ahead and be careful on the road."
I went to the basement to find an idle automatic car. After inputting the coordinates, I went straight to the automatic chip factory in District 22 on the outskirts of the city.
"Has the Administration investigated the scene before?" Sitting alone on the road was bored, so Aaron asked Lan 228 about the situation at the scene.
"No, according to the joint investigation regulations, before this case is determined to be a case directly related to virtual intelligence, the Administration and the Police Department have equal law enforcement powers. Therefore, a formal investigation can only be launched if investigators from both parties are present."
"Ha, it's not easy for your administration. It's obviously your own case, but we have a hand in it." Aaron sneered.
"However, the on-site information provided by the person reporting the case does not need to be investigated, so it can be provided directly." Lan 228 ignored Aaron's sarcasm and continued.
"You should have told me this earlier." Aaron, who felt that he was very boring, complained, "Tell me, what is going on at the scene?"
"The scene of the crime was the third printing workshop of the Jincheng Branch production plant of Narumi Chip Company, a subsidiary of the Narumi Consortium. The victim, Xing Ming, was a 42-year-old male, a national of the Pan-Continental Federation, and his identity was the company's executive manager.
No criminal history or financial debt." Lan 228 did not see any movement, and various pictures and information appeared on the front windshield of the automatic car.
"Since it is a workshop that prints automatic chips, it must be a 'three-no workshop', right?" As a human field investigator who is very rare in this era, Aaron has very keen observation skills. He immediately noticed the short
A few sentences of information that require attention.
"Yes, the third workshop where the victim was killed is a highly sealed printing workshop that is oxygen-free, dust-free and electromagnetic-free."
"Since it is a three-nothing workshop, in theory it should be completely closed during operation so that humans cannot enter at all. How could the victim get there? Or is it that the workshop was not in operation when the victim was killed?" Aaron continued to ask.
doubts about the case.
"This requires an autopsy report to confirm the real time of death of the deceased. However, according to the recent operation records of the third workshop, at least the third workshop was in normal operation from the last time the victim was witnessed by the surveillance video to the time the deceased was found dead. The victim was
It was found that the direct cause of death was that the batch of goods produced in the third workshop was found to have huge defects, and the factory discovered the scene only when it was conducting troubleshooting." Lan 228 gave follow-up information.
"In other words, even though biomass pollutants were mixed into the workshop, the workshop's self-checking system did not directly alarm?" Aaron raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, traces of oxygen corrosion were also found, proving that a small-scale gas leak occurred in the workshop."
"It's interesting, but it doesn't mean anything. Maybe there's just something wrong with the sensor in the workshop." But Aaron quickly denied his previous association, "Why does the administration insist that this case may be related to virtual intelligence?
"
"Because no biomass residue of the second person other than the victim himself was detected at the crime scene."
"Wait, how do you know? Didn't it say that people from the police station can't survey the scene before they arrive?" Aaron immediately noticed the contradiction in what he just said.
"This is not the result of an investigation by the administration, but the data obtained by the Narumi Group engineers in the third maintenance workshop who used remote operation to scan the biomass on site."
"That means that some group knew that this was the scene of a murder and carried out scanning and inspection without authorization?" Aaron's brows knitted into a knot.
"Yes, maybe they think it will help them cut their losses as quickly as possible."
"Damn these capitalists who eat human blood steamed buns." Aaron was furious after hearing this.
"In view of the fact that remote biomass scanning does not constitute damage to the scene, we recommend that Superintendent Chen not make a formal complaint against Narumi Group for this matter. Narumi Group is a Japanese foreign-invested enterprise. If judicial proceedings are activated, it may trigger ten
Level 6 to Level 7 political incident." Blue 228 gave advice with an indifferent expression.
"Ah, I know." Aaron scratched his head angrily, "It doesn't matter if I go to the scene and complain to the person in charge there, right?"
