"Didn't you tell me everything you knew?" Lu Wen looked at him lightly.
"Sir Lu, this... this matter is related to my life, I really can't say anything." The wanderer looked helpless.
"Let me think about it, someone gave you a sum of money and asked you to stay away from those streets for a few days, and you must prevent other homeless people from entering, and you must not tell others."
Lu Wen looked at the homeless people around him.
Since those streets were empty, the homeless people on this side of the street had become denser.
"If you tell others about this, will those people not only take the money given to you, but also your life?"
"This this… "
"Actually, he could have had a better way, such as killing you directly, but there are endless homeless people to kill. If he kills you, another group of homeless people will enter those streets. Every homeless person may became a witness, so he chose another way, using homeless people to manage homeless people."
The homeless man in front of me is one of the people responsible for management.
"Are you afraid? Are you afraid of death?" Lu Wen asked lightly.
"Sir Lu... you... you better stop asking and leave quickly. Your life is at stake."
"Okay, come with me. You'll be living in the 13th 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 Thirteenth District Executive Bureau.
This counts as a witness.
In the middle of the trip, Lu Wen took him to take a shower, change into new clothes, and called the Executive Bureau to free up an empty room.
"I... do I really want to live in the Executive Bureau?" Yunhe stammered, seemingly having a natural fear of this kind of place.
"You didn't commit any crime, so what are you afraid of?"
"When I was a kid, I stole the sheep herded by the kid from the Li family next door."
“…”
Lu Wen took him to the executive bureau.
He warned him seriously, saying that this person was a very important witness, and then left.
What follows is a lengthy analysis.
"That old guy had his mind set on Wei Bo'an several days ago. This is a premeditated case. He will definitely arrange for people to check out the location in advance."
"There must have been suspicious vehicles on these streets last night."
But these streets are no longer under surveillance.
Therefore, Lu Wen could only observe the people entering and exiting these streets through surveillance on other streets.
After observing for a long time, the effect is very little.
There was a lot of traffic all day yesterday. There are three underground parking lots and two sky parking lots in the community on these streets, and there are a huge number of private cars.
With Lu Wen's authority, he could apply for satellite monitoring.
But the strange thing is.
It can be said that the parliament's in-orbit satellites now cover the entire planet, but there was something wrong with the two satellites that were supposed to pass over this area yesterday.
"This old guy is really particular about what he does. He won't leave any clues behind."
Yunhe could only be regarded as a semi-personal witness. He only knew that someone paid them to leave the area, and he didn't even know the name of that person.
Time slowly came to night like this.
After a full day of investigation, the progress is almost zero.
The night is getting darker.
on the other side.
Yin Liuyue received the call again, telling her that the birth had started and she no longer had any worries.
Around ten o'clock in the evening.
Lu Wen returned to the executive bureau of District 13 and looked at Yun He.
This guy made himself at home.
At first, he didn't dare to talk to people, but now he has become close to the cleaning aunts and uncles, and he helps clean the house whenever he has nothing to do.
In his words, after all, food and accommodation are included here, so he can't help but do things.
"Sir Lu, how long can I stay here?"
"There are still two or three days. It's almost time. I will call you then."
Lu Wen gave a few instructions and drove back.
At night, District 13 became as cold as ever.
The number of pedestrians on the street gradually dwindled, and homeless people in twos and threes leaned on the streets and alleys.
The thick fog slowly came over.
Although it is summer, the temperature at this night can still make people feel cold.
Lu Wen slowed down the car.
Something a little abnormal.
“It’s so quiet…”
He looked around.
The gray-white fog is getting thicker and thicker, and visibility is quite low.
"Are you going to attack me?"
This road now is the only way Lu Wen must pass home every day.
Lu Wen has surveillance authority in the Thirteenth District.
He called up the current real-time monitoring of the street.
as expected.
There was something wrong with the surveillance. The surveillance video showed footage from after ten o'clock last night.
Lu Wen smiled faintly, opened the door and got out of the car.
He leaned on the car and said seriously: "Call you stupid, but you are also a veteran who has lived for decades. You can make Wei Boyan disappear silently, but call you smart... I have told you today Yes, I have a data backup. How stupid do you have to be to send someone to kidnap an android? "
Empty streets.
No one responded.
Lu Wen seemed to be talking to himself.
But shortly after he finished speaking, the surveillance video suddenly resumed.
The picture changes to real-time monitoring now.
"Just leave like that?"
Lu Wen frowned.
"It seems like a warning, telling me not to interfere again."
But this time the warning failed.
Lu Wen's attitude was quite tough, so the old guy probably thought of other countermeasures.
What method can be used to kill an android who has hidden a data backup
Lu Wen thought for a while, if he were that old guy, he would definitely start with the people around him.
Data backups must be kept by the most trusted people.
That was 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.
A lot of insects can be heard on summer nights.
A middle-aged man sat beside the hospital bed, looking at the night outside the window, with wisps of summer night wind blowing in from the window.
The windows are equipped with protective bars.
It's not to prevent theft, but to worry about patients like them running away.
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 diligent, frugal, striving for the benefit of the people, and of high moral character, has a mentally ill younger brother.
"Ding ding ding..."
Very strange sound.
Quite weak.
The sound comes from outside.
Zhen Yingcai was about to get up and look for the source of the sound when he saw a spider lying outside the window. The spider's eyes were closed at first, but now they opened slowly, glowing red.
This is a mechanical spider, and the spider's body can just pass through the protective fence.
"You..." Zhen Ying just opened her mouth and was about to ask the other party's purpose.
"Don't worry, I'm not sent by your brother or the mental hospital to test you, nor am I a hallucination caused by taking drugs. I just want to ask some questions."
"There is surveillance here." Zhen Yingcai pointed to the corner of his room.
He knew that his brother would not be so bored and send someone to test him.
And with surveillance, there's no need to worry about him doing anything outrageous.
"It's not just your brother who can break the surveillance system."
The spider jumped from the window and jumped to the bed in a few clicks.
"Close the windows and draw the curtains."
Zhen Yingcai did so.
He's here alone or bored.
Other mental patients can still go out for fun every day, but he has been kept here, like a prisoner.
The spider slowly raised its two metallic shiny mechanical legs.
Two beams of light emitted from the bottom of the legs and slowly intertwined into a human shape.
This is what Lu Wen looks like in person.
He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Zhen Yingcai.
"My purpose here is relatively simple. I want to bring down your brother. If you agree, then answer my questions and tell me everything you know."
Lu Wen paused.
"If you don't agree, I will kill you."
Zhen Yingcai smiled bitterly and asked, "Why are you threatening so directly?"
"Because the situation outside is quite urgent right now."
"Okay, I agree, just ask."
Zhen Yingcai moved a stool in his room and sat opposite Lu Wen.
"first question."
Lu Wen looked at him with a calm expression.
"I found that your brother really does anything for money. Whether it is small money or big money, as long as he has a chance to get his hands on it, even if it is only a few thousand dollars, he will touch it. After all, he is now a mayor. One of the only nine great people in this world... How poor were you when you were young?"
This mayor has no so-called bottom line for money.
In fact, when he is in his position, he just needs to wave his hand and the money will come automatically.
For example, Du Changqing, the former executive director of the 15th District.
Du Changqing's way of making money is quite consistent with his status. Usually he will not ask for money, but waits for others to take the initiative to give it to him.
But Zhen Yingjie...
"I've never seen someone with such no limits."
This little old man really has the mentality of a small citizen.
"It seems you have also investigated. My family was indeed very poor when I was a child."
Zhen Yingjie did not deny it, but said everything.
"My brother has been fond of money since he was a child, but he is very frugal, or... stingy."
"Yeah?"
"You won't believe it. He tried every means to get so much money, but until the day I entered the mental hospital, he didn't spend a penny of that money."
When the mayor is mentioned, the first impression that comes to everyone's mind is that he is taking the blame for the council.
As for the second impression, it must be thrift.
A piece of clothing can be worn for more than ten years, even if it is washed until it turns white or even has holes, it will still be worn.
Only when attending formal occasions, Zhen Yingjie would wear the few formal suits he had.
That's why ordinary people felt relieved and handed over such a large city to his management.
Zhen Yingcai sighed and spoke slowly.
"It's a sense of satisfaction, the satisfaction of collecting money, and that feeling... If you've experienced living in poverty, you'll understand."
