Time flies, and a new day is in the blink of an eye. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIt's still early, there aren't many passers-by on Fifth Avenue, and the only cake shop in the area has its doors closed early. Diana brought the bread to the table, Gabriel turned on the TV, and it was time for the morning news. The expressionless female anchor stood in front of the empire and began the morning news broadcast in a beautiful but empty voice.

Randall stared at the screen carefully as he drank milk, for fear of missing a single part, but he didn't see what he wanted to see until the news ended.

THE BODY THAT APPEARED IN THE SMALL TOWN OF LOTUS LAST NIGHT WAS NOT BROADCAST.

This is very abnormal.

No matter how many years have passed, murder is always the most serious crime in the law, not to mention that Emperor Roy IV admired perfection so much, such an ugly crime as murder will be publicized to the whole country once discovered, and the murderer will not need to go through court procedures once arrested, and will be directly exiled to District R.

Since the development of the empire, there is no one who can hide the death of its citizens. When the owner loses his vital signs, the ID card will exchange information with the switchboard, and if it cannot be determined that he died of natural causes, the police department will immediately receive the information from the ID card.

However, in today's morning news, there are only two news about unexplained deaths, one of which occurred in District 2 and one in District 5, and the deceased are all women, so it can be said that they have nothing to do with the body he encountered.

Why wasn't it broadcast?

Randall couldn't figure it out, could this have anything to do with the identity of the other party? He remembered that the corpse was wearing a security uniform that he had never seen before.

Is it a special group of people who cannot be publicized?

Like a border guard...... No, no, the information of the border guard is public, and as long as you enter the official website of the empire, you can find the basic information of any member.

"Randall?"

Seeing him in a daze, Diana called his name, "What are you doing?" Breakfast is going to be cold."

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Randall was a little embarrassed and lowered his head to concentrate on breakfast.

Diana added a freshly fried egg to his plate, "It's the weekend, can you please go buy something with the little one and come back?"

"What do you want to buy?"

Gabriel finished his milk and looked up and asked.

"Well, I want to think about it, you guys take millet with me, I need three bags of flour of 5 kilograms, two cans of whipped cream, and some fruit, I'll lose them in Millet's tip book."

Xiaomi is the only robot in Diana's house, a logistics machine used to transport goods, which can be called the latest technology in Zone D. The half-height square iron box has wheels at the four corners, and an LCD screen is placed on the top of the iron box to set the switching mode, and it can also record the items that need to be purchased, and automatically remind them when they arrive at the destination.

Gabriel and Randall finished their breakfast, said goodbye to Diana and went to the mall, with Millet following them.

On weekends, the crowds in the shopping street become more crowded, and many young couples and office workers who work weekdays appear on the streets, which is very noisy. To prevent separation, Gabriel asks Randall to hold his hand.

"Thanks, but doesn't your hand hurt? I'll just follow you.'"

"Whatever you want, don't get lost."

"Okay, okay."

Randall cautiously followed Gabriel, through clumps of people.

Gabriel is very conspicuous, Randall found that almost everyone who passed by him would involuntarily turn back, after all, no matter how advanced technology is, it can't create Gabriel's sharp beauty, but he himself doesn't pay attention to other people's eyes at all, and focuses on his own path.

Gabriel led him to the end of the alley, where the winding alley was barely big enough for two people to walk side by side, the stones on the ground were broken and uneven, and millet hummed behind them. There seems to be a bar in the alley, and I haven't been walking long before I meet a few drunken men. The main entrance of all the shops in the alley is facing the road.

"Gabi? Why are you here?'

"Buy flour."

"You're here to buy flour?"

The girl who affectionately called Gabriel Gabby was a girl with short brown-red hair, who looked about as tall as them from a distance. She was sweeping the doorway of the shop when Randall poked his head out from behind Gabriel to get a better look.

The other party doesn't have a pretty face, his facial features are slightly more neutral and heroic than ordinary girls, there are some freckles on his face, and he is dressed like a little boy, if he doesn't open his mouth, I'm afraid he will be mistaken for a boy. The other man was also looking at him, his brown eyes moving up and down, although he didn't say anything, Randall felt that she didn't seem to like him.

Randall looked down to avoid meeting her eyes, only to see a long, not deep, new wound on the back of her left hand, holding the broom, and a faint red wound.

He froze all at once.

Should...... No way.

"He's Randall who lives in my house temporarily, like the child of my mother's friend," Gabriel introduced Randall to Shirley, "She's Shirley, my classmate."

"Hello."

Randall nodded.

Shirley didn't look at him, turned to Gabriel and said, "Aunt Diana shouldn't just need flour, ah, millet is there," she squatted down and glanced at the LCD screen on top of millet, "There are so many more things, wait for me, I'll get it for you."

Shirley left with Millet in her hand, and Gabriel and Randall stood side by side in front of the store and waited. After five minutes of silence, Randall was about to speak, when suddenly someone grabbed him by the shoulder forcefully from behind.

"I'm sorry."

There was a man who was a head taller than Randall, and he stood there smiling.

The man was dressed in a police uniform, a black suit, and a silver imperial coat of arms on his chest, which looked ordinary, but was made of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber and a liquid protective material.

The lower the rank, the more police officers wear the uniforms of the Ministry of Police.

Randall brushed the man's hand away and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Are you Randall Szegway?"

"Yes. What is the matter?'

"You just moved here recently, didn't you?"

"That's right."

"How could a B-class citizen come to D-Class 13?"

"My father asked his friend to take care of me for a while."

"Why?"

"It's my privacy, right?"

"Randall."

Gabriel whispered to Randall, as if to exhort him to answer honestly.

Randall was not impatient, but when asked repeatedly and that the question might involve his father, he instinctively refused.

"Take out your ID."

Sensing the defiance in Randall's tone, the man put away his smile and asked them to show their ID cards with a blank face.

Gabriel took out his ID card and handed it to the man, and Randall silently took it out and handed it to him.

"Report your ID numbers in order."

『EGLB21670706-B。』

『ERXB21661123-B。』

The man pulled the ID card from the small reader and nodded at Gabriel.

"Amazing boy, who has been studying in school for so long after school, will have a bright future in the future."

"Thank you."

Gabriel replied with a smile.

Apparently, the man read the location information of their ID card.

Randall had a vague sense that something was wrong.

When it was his turn, a light flashed in the man's eyes, and although the other party still looked expressionless, the excitement in his voice betrayed him.

"As for you, Randall, I think I need to ask you to go to the sheriff's office. SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED IN LOTUS TOWN, AND YOU SEEMED TO BE THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED."

Really.

Randall sighed.

The police officer who suddenly appeared, he should have guessed it a long time ago.

The corpse in the small town of LOTUS can be seen from the fact that it was not broadcast on the news this morning, and it was not simple, and it hurriedly escaped from the scene, presumably leaving traces of its own appearance at the scene. Even if there is nothing, the positioning of the ID card already says it all.

He regretted that he had gone alone to a near-deserted area last night, but regret would not help, and it would be wise to go with the man in front of him now.

"Okay, I see, I'll go with you."

"Can you explain to Lady Diana?" Please, Gabriel.'

Randall said to Gabriel.

"Yes."

Gabriel nodded.

"Let's go. Be a smart kid and be honest.'

Randall was urged by the men from the Public Security Bureau to get into the police car parked at the entrance of the alley. There were two other police officers in the police car, and the man he was escorting was driving, while Randall was sandwiched between the back seats by the remaining two officers.

Outside, the autumn sky was clear, the sun was shining brightly, the birdsong could be heard, the wind was blowing softly, and the peaceful and stable daily life was still running as before.

The car glides slowly through the shopping street.

"The weather is so nice."

The man sitting in the driver's seat said this as he looked straight ahead.

The man to Randall's right nodded and replied, "The weather is better this year than usual."

The man driving suddenly turned around and asked Randall, "What do you think?"

"It's warm."

"Do you like it?"

"There are very few people who don't like it."

"Really? That's great, because I'm afraid you'll never see it again, if you're a member of the Raven."
