1103, Intellectual Machinery Crisis (20)

——AD.2155.2.2——

"Detroit Police Department, don't move!"

Sensing that the two androids inside the abandoned building seemed intent on leaving, Connor pulled out her gun and rushed in, shouting "Don't move" instead of "You're arrested", as she didn't intend to arrest anyone in the first place.

"Won't you...... ...... chased after him," Tracey honestly raised her hand, her face full of incredulity.

It was too far away to see clearly, and it was only then that Connor noticed that the former dancer had not only changed into a normal outfit, but also dyed her hair in other colors, and even her eyes had changed the color of her eyes through contact lenses - but these disguises had no effect on Connor's scanning.

As for the other "Leif"......

"Come down." Anderson pointed a gun at him.

"The lady won't let Leif move—" he was hanging from the chandelier on the roof.

I have to say that it is also a skill to be able to step on the wall and jump on the roof at the same time as Connor rushes in.

“…… You can move now. Connor directly graded this guy to the lowest danger level.

Whoosh - smack!

Leif directly let go and landed steadily on a somersault, and then bowed around like an actor who had made a wonderful performance, "Thank you~Thank you~"

Unlike Tracy, Leif only changed out of the android's uniform, and did not pry the light off the corner of his forehead, only slightly obscuring it with the hood of the coat on his body, and the face under his hood was quite handsome, and with a smile that could not be hidden.

"Don't be nervous, Tracey," Connor said to Tracey, who was trying to get away from the side, "We're not here to recover the lost property for the Red and Blue Nightclub. ”

"Ah...... Is it? Tracey seemed relieved, even though she didn't have to breathe in the first place.

"Oh~ That's the one who came to Leif ~ Leif knows all the suitable properties in Detroit~" Leif said exaggeratedly, and suddenly made a face at Anderson: "But humans are not welcome to move in!" ”

"Thank you, but I have no plans to buy a house recently." Anderson replied like a salesman, and put away his gun.

"Hmm~ So, what are you going to ask Leif? This officer ~" Reif turned to Connor.

"Is it true that you say you 'know all the places where androids can hide'?" Connor asked another question first.

This may seem unrelated, but in reality, the prisoners who abducted the androids are likely to be somewhere in the area, and if they live in an area with a lot of pedestrians, it is not only difficult to win the trust of the androids, but they are also in danger of being reported by their neighbors.

"Ah~Of course~ Those locations were originally prepared by Leif for himself, do you also want to leave the humans next to you? Leif can recommend some good places to you~" Leif nodded happily.

"Hey!" Anderson looked unhappy that he had been dragged in. Cola Literature

"Also?" Connor was keenly aware of the other questions, "So, you know these locations because you-"

Knowing you were going to be kicked out? Forced to leave? Or have you already decided to leave?

"Ah, it's been discovered~" Leif looked happy: "Just like a little girl who will abandon a doll when she grows up, Leif knows that sooner or later she will be abandoned by her master~ So I investigated the place where I could hide early~"

"If you knew it earlier......" "Could it be?" Connor and Anderson looked at each other.

"The bionic man with a peculiar personality specially customized in order to write the characters in his work, of course, has to return to the factory after the work is written~" Leif showed an exaggerated smile: "But Leif doesn't want to be returned to the factory~"

————

After asking Reif about what places to hide in the vicinity of District 10, Connor and Anderson left the abandoned hospital.

"Speaking of which, I seem to have heard of that work," Anderson said as he walked, "it seems to be a book called 'Funny Man.'" ”

"From a legal point of view, there is nothing wrong with that writer's behavior, it can be summed up as 'material', and after the material is finished, he just wants to eliminate that strange personality and use it as an ordinary android," Connor shook his head, "but after Leif was infected with 'Grox' and awakened himself, he couldn't judge." ”

"That kind of thing is left to Starlink, we just need to focus on the current case," Anderson gestured to the relatively backward neighborhood houses around him, "What are the suspicious places provided by Mr. Funny?" ”

Connor shook his head: "He just checked and confirmed all the unfinished abandoned buildings in Detroit that don't have many dwellings around, and the 'pigeon apartment' we investigated before is among them, although after escaping from the writer, he somehow began to provide shelter for other anomalous androids, but he didn't have time to verify whether those locations were occupied by others, and he only went to explore before recommending a location to an anomalous android, so the information he obtained was not sufficient." ”

"So—" Anderson frowned slightly.

"After synthesizing some complaints from the police database that have nothing to do with androids, I still found a suspicious location." Connor continued: "It was a three-story villa that was still inhabited, and neighbors near it complained that there were frequent metal collisions in it, and when the patrol came to investigate, they confirmed that the owner was a mechanic and had a lathe installed in the basement, and then settled with the neighbor who complained about it. ”

"But?" Anderson raised an eyebrow.

"However, during Reif's investigation, the house was 'abandoned', so when the patrol went to investigate, what they saw was not the original owner of the house at all," Connor reconfirmed: "In the process, Leif, the neighbors, and the patrol officer each ignored its anomaly due to the incomplete information they had and the boldness of the occupiers. ”

"Lathe...... Metal collision......" Anderson touched his chin, "Since it wasn't a case, the patrol officer just confirmed that the noise was coming from the machine and left, but if he did a little more searching the other floors, there should be a surprise." ”

It could have been frightened, or even killed, but according to the dossier, the owner of the house was a very strong, bearded man comparable to a football player.

Connor pressed the hidden firearm slightly: "I don't think those criminals are the type to be scared into raising their hands and surrendering after a few shouts, we have to be ready to fight." ”

"Ha, I've been settling cases peacefully recently, and my bones are moldy, so it's time to open them." Anderson clenched his fists with a clenching of his fists.

Hope is not to be opened......

Connor didn't say anything that discouraged Anderson, instead looking at his own markings on the map.
