Yun Yang called.

The man showed up.

"Still want to buy a steel pipe? Just give it to him." Xia Chuluo said to Yun Yang on the other end of the phone.

The two drove and hurried to the machine repair shop.

The machine repair shop was a little busier during the day.

Yun Yang worked the night shift yesterday and should have gone back to rest now.

But just when he had finished explaining things, packed his things, and was about to leave.

The man is here.

Blue plaid shirt, black mask, peaked cap, familiar features.

Yun Yang immediately cheered up.

"I tried to delay it for some time, but he seemed to see something, took the steel pipe and left in a hurry." Yun Yang said with apology.

"fine."

Several people walked to the security room and checked the surveillance video just now.

After comparison, it was the same person who was monitored yesterday.

"Is that person a boy or a girl?"

"male."

"Sure?"

"probably… "

Yun Yang was a little unsure.

Subjectively, he had long regarded this person as a man.

After all, he might be the murderer, and girls are rarely this tall.

"Do you have an Adam's apple?"

"This... I didn't look carefully."

Yun Yang was just a mechanic, so he couldn't imagine so much at once.

And after staying up all night, he was really sleepy.

"It's okay, he can't go far."

The two of them thanked Yun Yang.

Leaving the machine shop, the car started chasing.

District 12.

In Li Jian's luxurious villa.

"Everyone is having tea, do you want to watch TV? I also have a collector's edition game console here, or do you like to appreciate antiques..."

More than a dozen cold-looking executives, dressed in black uniforms, inspected the inside and outside of the villa.

Li Jianke was so happy.

After busy work, tea and water are served.

He is not a rich man in the typical sense. He also came up from the poor step by step, so he does not have the consciousness and airs of the rich at all.

At this moment, a phone call came suddenly.

Li Jian took out the phone from his pocket and found that it was a student he had sponsored.

District 14.

Lu Wen obtained surveillance rights for all streets.

Based on the surveillance locations where the person appeared yesterday and today, combined with the roads in the entire city, the analysis system used an inexplicably complex algorithm to finally calculate three places where the person might be hiding.

The two went to the first place and failed.

Then I went to the second place and still failed.

The third place.

"boom!"

Lu Wen shot the door lock.

Then he opened the door and rushed in first, blocking Xia Chuluo behind him.

This is just an ordinary rental house.

There is no bed, desk, or wardrobe, only a portable floor-standing clothes drying pole.

The desk is by the window.

The window is open.

The white curtains fluttered gently in the breeze.

The murderer is gone.

On the table is a steel pipe.

[letter]

There is a letter pressed under the steel pipe.

Lu Wen looked under the bed to make sure there was no one in the entire rental house.

"This letter is for you." Xia Chuluo picked up the letter on the table, glanced at it, then looked out the window, and said to Lu Wen.

"For me?"

Lu Wen was surprised and took the letter from Xia Chuluo.

There are three words on the letter - Lu Wenqi.

The handwriting is neat and elegant.

Open the letter.

"Number Zero said that he was very happy to have discovered an android like you, and he hoped that I could say hello to you on his behalf."

A sentence without beginning or end.

But it revealed a piece of information.

Does the murderer have accomplices

"This room is clean, but not too clean."

Xia Chuluo took a closer look at the contents of the letter, then lost interest and began to look at the rental house.

The murderer took away a lot of things, leaving an empty room.

And then risking his life to show up just to say hello

"Can you find anything?" Lu Wen asked.

"The murderer lived here for a long time."

"How did you get it?"

"Indentations, the mattress is very soft, and there are two indentations on the head of the bed. Those are the marks left by the dumbbells. Such irreparable marks cannot be left in a short time."

"The wall to the left of the bed has a lot of wall peeling off, which was torn off by tape. The murderer once posted something on this wall, which may be a photo of the victim."

"There were some tiny glass shards in the corner behind the door, which were not cleaned up. The murderer was very cautious. He would put a glass on the door handle when he went to bed at night. This may have been broken accidentally."

"Crack!"

Xia Chuluo pressed the only light switch.

The lights didn't come on.

"The light was broken, but it was not replaced. The murderer spent more time out at night, presumably surveying the terrain."

"The murderer made preparations for a long time before killing those two people in a very short period of time."

"She took the initiative to expose herself and left a letter for another person, which shows that in her subconscious, the next time they meet is in person..." Xia Chuluo suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up, "This makes sense. Follow me, she will definitely take action tonight!"

"Why?"

"This will only be the last time she takes action, so there is no need for time to prepare."

Xia Chuluo said affirmatively.

As for the object of action.

very clear.

The last of the three people who was responsible for supervising the Haicheng Building was Jia Yu.

Jia Yu is 56 years old this year, and his current status is similar to that of semi-resignation, with a leisurely position.

His shares in Blue Land are enough for him to spend the rest of his life leisurely.

But he lived far away, in the third arrondissement, almost at opposite ends of the city from the fourteenth arrondissement.

The city roads are very congested during the day, and the subway is so crowded that it can't even be used for several flights in a row.

The speed of the airship is too slow, and it is only for viewing.

"Drive there? Would it be faster to arrange a helicopter?" Lu Wen felt that now was the time to compete with the murderer.

"No, let's have breakfast first, and then drive over slowly." Xia Chuluo stretched out comfortably, looking at her relaxed look, everything was under control.

"breakfast?"

Lu Wen looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock.

That is to say, he, a bionic person, would not feel hungry, and Xia Chuluo, a human body, did not know how he could bear it.

"You are guessing in your mind whether I am a bionic person." Xia Chuluo glanced at him.

"Is it my fault?"

It's not like something similar hasn't happened before.

The two of them randomly found a roadside restaurant.

"I don't need to eat."

"No, you have to eat. I don't feel comfortable eating alone."

The girl was unreasonable, picked up the menu and ordered two beef noodles.

In this era, the price of meat is quite cheap, and the technology of artificial meat is quite mature.

People take out a very small part of the cow's tissue and put it in a culture container. It doesn't take long... Of course the process looks a bit nauseating, but there is no difference in the taste, and they even say it tastes really good.

Had lunch.

Lu Wen started the car.

"Don't drive too fast, slow down and enjoy the rare afternoon sunshine. She will do it at night anyway."

Xia Chuluo remained stubborn and rested his long legs on the center console.
