——AD.2154.8.20——

Detroit Police Department.

“…… Ha. Director Fury stared at the report submitted by Anderson for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh: "Since you did investigate something valuable, then I can treat those accusations against your fishing as if I didn't see them for the time being,"

"What fishing?" David Anderson put on an innocent expression: "Those are all 'facts' that can be called up for surveillance at any time." ”

"I'm not going to argue with you about this," the director waved his hand, "According to the feedback from the Starlink research department, even if an ordinary android has an 'overload', that is, the state of the indicator light turning red, it will recover within a few seconds, so the focus of your next investigation will shift to the information they send, the androids who have been overloaded for a long time or at a high frequency, whether anyone reports the crime or not, and finally find out the source of this virus." ”

"As you wish, sir." Anderson replied.

"By the way, I've received reports from informants that those red ice dealers have become wary of you, and if you continue to do your private work during the investigation, it is likely to attract their retaliation." The director's finger ran over the data screen in front of him, and he added.

"You can't blame me, sir, it's easier for those guys who are angry to attack androids, so it's normal to implicate online sellers and the like." Anderson shrugged and spread his hands.

Connor stood behind Anderson in an upright position, not commenting on the conversation between his boss and his boss's boss, just going back to the case he had been working on for the past two days.

[Confirmed: Androids Missing: Company employee Gordon Inbez reported that the T350 housekeeping android he purchased disappeared when he returned home from work, and that there were no signs of invasion in the room, and that the android had no previous signs or suspicious signs.] 】

[Findings: The android was found at the garbage treatment plant, and he reported that he sensed that several of his important components were about to be scrapped, and that the owner was saddled with several loans and did not have the financial ability to replace those components, so he went to the garbage treatment plant to wait for the shutdown and confirmed that the android was not infected with the "Grox" virus. 】

[Case closed: The informant has retrieved the android and applied for a new loan to replace the android component.] 】

[Confirmed: Androids Attack: Mobile Hot Dog Shop owner Charles Bell reported that during normal business, a droid bought a hot dog from him and claimed to "eat it himself", and after being refused, the droid jumped into the car from the counter and tried to strangle him, but was stopped by several passers-by and then fled.] 】

[Findings: The android was found in an alley near a pizzeria, and most of its components malfunctioned due to the effects of pizza crumbs, confirming that the android was infected with the "Grox" virus.] 】

[Case closed: The android has been brought back for study.] 】

[Confirmed: Androids retaliate: Inn owner Sarah Cornwall reported that the T600 maid android she purchased had soiled all the rooms of the inn and fled after a slight altercation.] 】

[Findings: The android was not found, and the "little quarrel" claimed by the informant was not true, and it can be confirmed from the video that after a small mistake in the android's work, she used various foul language and slang to abuse and curse it for more than 30 minutes, and the color of the indicator light turned red in the second half of the entire abuse process. 】

[The case is not closed, and it has been confirmed that the android is infected with the "Grox" virus.] 】

Blah blah blah blah blah ......blah Things are a little complicated, but not too important, whatever.

It can be confirmed that the infection rate of androids in prosperous areas is higher than that in remote areas, and the infection rate of androids who are treated badly is also higher than that of androids who are treated better, and at the same time, although the androids who awaken their self-consciousness will also exhibit abnormalities, they are much milder than those who are "infected".

On the other side, the conversation between the director and the deputy captain also ended, and the black bald man directly slapped a record board to Anderson:

"This is the situation that needs to be investigated after the summary, a total of 143 cases."

“……”

Detroit, Second Avenue.

"Don't worry, sir, you may not remember that many entries, but I can."

Connor said to Anderson, who was frowning in the passenger seat, as she drove.

"Hah, I'm guessing you didn't have the comfort logic module installed," Anderson had, and continued, "I took a quick glance and found that the problem with these cases is that most of them are unreported, and the reason why they are listed there is simply that the android has been in a red light state for a long time. ”

"If you don't report the crime, you can ask them to assist in the investigation in the name of the police department." Connor says that's not a problem.

"You know, these guys are 'high-class,'" Anderson pointed upwards before shaking his head, "and they're not going to allow a police officer who is known for 'tracking down red ice dealers' into their house, and that's reputational." ”

"That is, even if they don't do anything, just letting us in the door will cause them to lose face?" Connor easily understood why this time.

"Yes, even if they can easily make up for this, they don't have the convenience of keeping us outright, so I have to think carefully now about who won't shut us out." Anderson pinched the corner of his forehead and continued to slide the board up and down.

"Can't you reason with them? (Model)]

["So how about 'entering undetected'? (Rebellion)]

"I'm sorry I can't help. ”】

"I'm sorry I can't help, I can look up their general information, but I can't grasp the specific personality." Connor watched as the number of pedestrians on both sides of the road gradually increased and began to slow down.

"The closest thing to this is a department store chain chairman who doesn't care about reviews, a famous painter who doesn't let anyone judge him badly, and a famous director with strong public relations skills," Anderson touched his chin, "but I had a bad relationship with both of them, and the last one didn't have anything to do with him at all......

You're amazing...... Well?

Connor's eyes scanned the side of the road for a recorded target.

It was a beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a sleeveless blue blouse, a short black leather skirt and brown boots, and she was shopping with a man who was not tall and thin, and had an overall sense of cunning.

[Confirm information, T800 android, the appearance is 90% similar to the photo of the missing dancing droid "Noss" provided by Floyd Mills, the manager of the "Red and Blue Nightclub", when he reported the crime, and the indicator light has been removed, and it is suspected that he has awakened his self-consciousness or has been infected with the "Grox" virus.] 】

"Sir—"

"Good! Now don't think about it, let's go find the painter," Anderson pointed to the man, "his unsuccessful son is looking for the dancing girl again!" ”

Well...... Killing two birds with one stone?
