"Wang Wei is usually quite withdrawn and keeps to himself. Even when he works with us, he seldom talks."
The fourth deceased was named Wang Wei, a pipeline maintenance worker.
According to the description of colleagues, the deceased was introverted.
"He lives a very simple life. He just goes to work and goes home between 2:00 and 1:00 every day, and he doesn't have a family or a career," said a colleague.
"On weekdays, he won't even come to dinner parties on holidays. He is an honest person, and he does his duty. He does whatever needs to be done. He will also help other colleagues when he sees they have problems."
Although he is lonely, his colleagues do not reject him. "
Life is simple and there is no family fortune.
"How could he have enemies? No one would make enemies with an honest man like him."
Two hours had passed since the body was found.
Based on the comments of colleagues around him, Lu Wen gradually got a general understanding of the deceased.
"We are on a rotation system, and today should be his day off. According to his habits, he will probably stay at home all day, playing games, cooking two side dishes, drinking some wine, etc."
Colleagues also revealed a piece of news.
The deceased liked to drink.
"But he is very self-disciplined. He will definitely not drink during work hours. Generally speaking, when it is time to get off work, he will take out the small wine bottle from his pocket and take a few sips."
This statement was confirmed.
The executive officer of the 15th District found an old-fashioned hip flask in the deceased's pocket.
This hip flask is palm-sized, just right for carrying around.
There was some wine in it.
Liquor has a high alcohol content.
"The deceased needed to drink to numb himself?"
Lu Wen looked at the body.
After simply disposing of the body, the cause of death became clear.
There were many wounds on his body, but none were fatal.
"As usual, he bled to death. The deceased was also tied up and unable to resist, but this time the murderer did not take away the binding rope."
In many of the previous cases, strangulation marks could be found on the bodies of the deceased.
But no rope was found at the scene.
This time the rope stayed.
"It's a very common nylon rope, sold in many shops in the market... The murderer actually left the knife behind. Is he really planning to make the final move? Or is he not going to need it for the subsequent targets?"
In the last unjust case twelve years ago.
The murderer also left the knife when the fourth person died.
The fifth person who died after that was hung from chains and burned to death in prison.
"Let's go and see the deceased's home." Lu Wen said to Wei Boyan.
"Go after lunch?"
“If you want to go to the beach, just say so…”
There are many seafood food stalls next to the beach.
Beer is the best-selling drink during this hot season.
Even though many experts are saying that you should not drink beer when eating seafood, then there are a bunch of terms like purine, gout, and stones.
But there are always those who are not afraid of death.
"I used to be in the health-care circle." Wei Boyan opened a bottle of beer, "but then I discovered that none of those guys who spent all day in health care lived to be sixty years old, and then I realized it."
We cannot use the simple word "enlightenment" to describe the great enlightenment.
While eating seafood, Wei Boyan told Lu Wen about the meeting in no man's land.
"... Mr. Ling and Ling talked about thirty-five demands for a full ten minutes... "
"... There was a chance to reverse it, but it's a pity that those androids are fools... "
According to Wei Boyan.
From beginning to end, the pace of this unprecedented meeting was firmly controlled on the human side.
Humanity first proposed thirty-five.
Then in the next two hours, the two sides started arguing around these thirty-five articles, and they have been arguing until now.
During several times when the quarrels were particularly serious, veteran councilor Gong Liangyu intervened to mediate.
"Those bionic people didn't realize at all that this should be a fair meeting, with both sides putting forward their own requirements... But now, they are all led astray. Focusing on the thirty-five items, they want to get rid of these three. Find peace in fifteen articles.”
Wei Boyan took a sip of beer.
Although he prefers to drink white beer, he has to say that drinking cold beer is indeed a pleasure in this hot weather.
Except for people with bad gastrointestinal problems.
"How many requests have they agreed to now?" Lu Wen asked.
"The first thing that was agreed was to allow humans to install surveillance cameras in the android city. This is the only complete requirement that has been agreed to so far."
Put yourself in the perspective of an android.
Anyway, everything is at peace, so it doesn't matter if the other party installs surveillance, just take a look.
After all, they have bionic people who replace their identities in the city, and they can keep track of the trends in Mowu City at any time.
"What does that monitoring say? Is it guaranteed to monitor every android?"
"Yes, so those androids are all fools."
In addition, half of the requests were agreed to.
"The two sides argued about handing over all weapons for more than an hour. Finally, under the mediation of Gong Liangyu, both sides backed down a step... Tsk, this old guy named Gong Liangyu is pretending to be a nice guy. ." Wei Boyan said.
"Then what?"
"The androids agreed to hand over all their heavy weapons, which are just some heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. These androids outside Mowu City are very poor."
Sure enough, they handed over their weapons. Lu Wen felt that these mentally retarded people had never seriously considered the future.
Why does it have to be recognized by humans? The picture is justifiable
Or are you worried about being found by humans after building a city privately
Eden has also been building a city for more than ten years. It is so smooth and stable that the floating city can't do anything about it.
"Although Mowu City is developing very well and has been suppressing the androids in the no-man's land, those androids are actually not without opportunities." Lu Wen said: "According to the original pattern, all the android organizations were scattered in In the countless cities around Mowu City, there is no need to worry about being wiped out. "
That great man's strategic thinking is quite applicable to the situation of the androids outside Mowu City.
Lu Wen has a map in his mind.
The huge blue dot in the middle is Mowu City, and there are countless small red dots around it, which are all bionic human organizations.
In fact, it only required small-scale harassment, attacking from all directions, and then retreating. This continued for more than ten years, which made Mowu City feel exhausted.
When the time comes to negotiate, the androids will have much greater initiative.
"But now, these android organizations have gathered together under the call of the so-called alliance. They are just seeking death."
Baker City gathers together because the android group over there can fight it.
The Eden in the north gathered together because the two northern cities had a very friendly attitude towards androids and ignored the floating city at all.
As for Mowu City... human sympathy is not reliable, it is just charity, charity that can be taken back at any time.
"What are they arguing about now?" Lu Wen asked.
"Regarding the issue of military garrisoning." Wei Boyan took out a tissue and wiped his hands. "The requirement from the human side is that at least two armies must be stationed, one in the android city and the other not far outside the city. "
"There's nothing to argue with about these conditions. Not to mention two, not even one."
Letting other people's troops garrison your own city... This kind of operation is difficult to understand.
Lu Wen sighed lightly.
In fact, he also knows that the current negotiation is probably fake and of no use.
But even if it is fake, the performance of these androids is too unqualified. If it is a real negotiation, then from the moment the negotiation begins, the prospects of the entire androids outside Mowu City will be a lot gloomier.
"Did the android really not make any demands from the beginning to the end?"
"not yet."
The sun at noon is very strong.
It was already mid-June, and a large number of tourists gathered along the sparkling coast.
The two had lunch and drove to the deceased's home.
Minutes away.
The destination is a commercial building, thirty-four stories high.
The deceased Wang Wei lived in a small single room on the 33rd floor.
"Six suites have no living room. Except for the master bedroom, the other single rooms are very small. Most of them are young people who have just graduated."
Lu Wen opened the door.
The entrance is a long corridor.
On both sides of the corridor are the doors to each bedroom.
"People from the Executive Directorate have already arrived. There are no other clues except a piece of paper on the table."
A young man is cooking in the kitchen.
He turned to look at the two of them, then returned his gaze to his pot.
Wei Boyan went up and asked a few questions, but he didn't get any useful clues.
This young man had moved here for a year and a half. He rarely went out on weekdays and had no deep impression of the deceased.
Occasionally we would meet each other.
Wei Boyan left the kitchen and came to the door of the small single room.
"Didn't you get any useful information?"
"No... you have lived in the same place for a year or two, and you don't even know the name of the person who lives across from you. The relationship between neighbors of your generation of young people is not as good as it used to be. I think back then... "
"I'm not a human, I'm a fifth-generation bionic..."
