——AD2155.2.2——

Detroit, 10th District, Billy Zlak House.

"Is this it? Looks like a vampire lives. Hiding in the shadows of the corner, Anderson was contemplating a three-story duplex house with a garden and blue bricks and red tiles.

"Maybe you're right," Connor observed the big house, "the doors are closed, the windows on the first and second floors are boarded up, the weeds in the garden look like they haven't been treated for a long time, and the six hidden surveillance cameras in front and back make it possible that the people inside won't see the light at all." ”

"Door-to-door search? I suspect that under the guidance of the 'owner of the house', we will be like the patrol officer who will not find any clues, or will we arrest them on charges of illegal occupation and then search them slowly? Anderson pressed his waist, where he hung his handcuffs.

"This kind of abduction case has to be taken care of, otherwise, even if we find the remains of an android inside, it won't prove anything, just as finding parts of a locomotive in someone's house won't prove that he stole the car, abducting anomalous androids is not a big deal, and we wait for the next victim to appear before diving in." Connor muttered.

"Well, listen to you," Anderson shrugged, "but I feel like we've been stalking lately." ”

Due to the amount of time it had taken for Anderson and Connor to arrive near the target mansion in the afternoon, and after another five and a half hours of waiting, the sky was completely dark.

On the road directly opposite the house, the street lamps that emitted a cold white light were already on, but there was only a faint light in the cracks of the windows sealed by wooden boards, and the whole house was like a monster lying in the darkness and choosing people to eat.

As the temperature drops around him, Anderson's expression becomes colder, and Connor confirms in the body language analysis module that his attitude has changed from "hurry up and get an abducted android to convict and arrest the guy inside" to "whether you come here or not, the guy inside doesn't have any good fruit to eat." ”

Connor was about to reassure him, but a suspicious figure appeared around the corner of the street and stopped her.

It was a male android in a security uniform, with a simple and resolute appearance, a relatively strong and powerful figure, but a helpless expression, and a few bandages wrapped around his forehead.

If it weren't for the fact that it was already dark and the residents here didn't like to meddle in things, it would have been arrested by the police a long time ago.

"The target has appeared, but where is the abductor?" Anderson leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice of confusion.

"I see," a few yellow lights flashed under Connor's velvet hat, "These prisoners are very shrewd, and only let the androids under their control explain or directly transmit the address of this place to the anomalous androids outside, but they don't lead the way themselves, which is not easy for us to detect while strengthening their persuasiveness." ”

"Uh-huh, looks like we can open tonight." Anderson began to move his hands and feet.

Connor didn't reply, just stared at the android's movements as he turned on the remote listening module.

[Confirm the information, the T850 security android belongs to the "precision parts" factory, and the factory has not yet reported the case. 】

Squeak - Quack -

After the security android made sure several times that he was not being followed, he pushed open the iron door of the garden of the big house, walked to the main entrance, and rang the doorbell with a strange sound due to age.

Boom! Boom!

As the doorbell rang, Connor suddenly heard a subtle metal crash, and their source seemed to be ...... The basement of this house?

He glanced over at Anderson and saw that he was staring at the anomalous android unnoticed, obviously because of his ability to capture voices as a biotic, after all, even dogs could hear them.

Well...... Isn't there something wrong?

Squeak - Quack -

Boom! Boom!

As the doorbell rang for a moment, the security android pressed anxiously again, and Connor heard the crash again.

It shouldn't be possible for the people in the room to start the lathe after hearing the doorbell, so it should be something they're covering, but what's hiding for this weird subtle crash?

Connor thought for a while, but she couldn't get the point, after all, she was a police android and not a detective android, and she couldn't guess the facts out of thin air and then falsify them without clues and information.

"Who are you looking for!"

When the security android tried to ring the doorbell for the third time, the thick door of the mansion finally opened, and a man in an oil-stained orange overalls, with an unusually tall stature, a fierce face, and a full beard appeared in the doorway, and said in a very impatient tone.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Zrak?" The security android himself, who was quite high, was pressed by the other party, and his tone was a lot weaker.

"yes, what's the matter with you?" "Mr. Zrak" began to look him up and down.

[Confirm information, Tyke Miller, former android factory assembler, case record: theft.] 】

"He used to be a worker in a bionic factory, and he had what it took to commit crimes." Connor whispered to Anderson.

"With this guy's physique, it's hard for androids to escape even if they find something wrong," Anderson also whispered back, "Have you confirmed the camera dead end?" We'll follow up later. ”

"Wait a minute." Connor's eyes flickered, and he began to plan a stealth route based on the monitoring position and rotation frequency arranged on the outside of the house.

"Ah...... I hear you can help us here......" At the same time, the security android is answering the question of "Mr. Zrak".

"You're mistaken!" "Zrak" took a step back and planned to close the door.

"Wait! Please! I'm willing to do anything! The security android hurriedly reached out and pressed against the door.

"Hmm......" "Zrak" looked him up and down: "It looks like you're a worker in a certain enterprise?" ”

"Yes, I used to work at 'Precision Parts', and I was -"

"Stop! I'm not interested in your cookie-cutter 'awakenings,' but you seem like you should be able to do me a little favor," Zrak waved his hand out of the way, "Come in." ”

"Thank you, thank you!" The voice of the security android was full of sincere gratitude.

As he entered the room with a thousand thanks, "Zrak" glanced warily outside before closing the door.

This guy's acting skills are really good, expressing his caution and also faintly revealing the information that he has helped many androids, Connor took the time to think after calculating, although for the original owner who treated the androids badly, the revenge of the anomalous androids is very terrible, but their own experience is only equivalent to that of a child who has just become sensible, and they don't know how to survive alone, so they will be deceived by criminals like "Zrak".

"I found a surveillance corner, sir, they obviously didn't consult the professionals, just a random surveillance camera, and then you just follow me." Connor said to Anderson after the calculations.

"Well......" Anderson replied, as if talking to himself, "If you look closely, that guy is a bit big." ”

Where is your previous self-confidence?
