The nightclub where the incident occurred was a little different from what Xiao Fei imagined.

"Is this a nightclub?" Xiao Fei looked at the space in front of him, "I think this is more like a virtual reality Internet café." ”

"Or else? You didn't think you'd see a pole for dancing here, did you? It's a long time, and nightclubs are keeping up with the times. ”

“…… So? ”

As Xiao Fei muttered, Amber tugged at his cuffs and sent a picture through the communication channel.

"What's this?"

"The screenshot of the virtual space, the corresponding virtual space access here looks like this."

Xiao Fei smacked his lips: "So now the nightclub is mainly engaged in virtual space escort business?" ”

Several of the officers around laughed. Deputy Captain Xiao shook his head: "There is indeed a chatting business, but it is provided to those who are not familiar with it to hide people's eyes." The real business is that kind of thing. ”

"How is this going to be done?"

Xiao Fei had already thought of the answer when he asked, after all, he was an expert in prosthetics, so he replied himself: "I see, it is through the synchronous translation technology of neural signals......

"Yes, your prosthetic body is also moved with this technique. It's just that the use of this technology here is not as deep as yours. Guests here have a sensor device inserted into the nerve of the spine, which is so small that it is almost impossible to detect and is not perceived as a prosthetic person. Then use this device to neuro-synchronize with the equipment here, come, Xiao Liu, open a virtual cabin for the comrades of the army to see. ”

So a police officer quickly opened a capsule-shaped virtual pod.

Unlike a normal virtual reality login pod, this virtual pod is equipped with a robotic arm.

"So, the guests are stroking the woman lying in the cabin through this robotic hand?"

"That's right, the feeling of touch is fed back to the customer, and as for 'entering', it's achieved through that fake thing."

"But as far as I know, the level of sync — I mean, the thrill of synchronisation — can't be done right now."

"So the guests have to prepare their own airplane cups."

"And,Actually, there's no need to actually enter, right.,As long as the girl pretends to be like that, won't it be over?"

"There are indeed such things in actual operation, but if you don't have good acting skills, you can only rely on this thing, and some of them are girls who take the initiative to use them, after all, men and women are equal, and everyone has seven emotions and six desires."

Xiao Fei nodded with a look of understanding.

Deputy Xiao continued: "There are quite a few people who come to 'work' in such nightclubs, and many of the ladies we asked after the case have serious identities, from female college students to OL and full-time housewives. They don't think doing this is cuckolding their husbands, and some even think that it doesn't mean selling their bodies. ”

The deputy captain said and patted the mechanical arm in the capsule: "After all, there is a difference between being touched by this thing and being touched by a real person, at least they think there is." ”

Xiao Fei smiled: "Then can I casually insult the girls who pass by on the road?" ”

"Then you'll be hyped up by the media as a negative example, and the army will sacrifice you to Pulitzer, the god of modern journalism, in order to maintain your reputation."

"Do you mean the big capitalist and big villain who instructed his subordinates to fabricate the news, even at the cost of ruining the peaceful lives of a small number of people, to create news hotspots?" Amber asked.

"Who else is there besides him, half of our current troubles are the bane left by this old man back then." Deputy Team Xiao sighed, "Let's go this way, take you to see the scene." ”

Xiao Fei nodded.

Go inside from the "virtual reality Internet hall" just now and get into the passage.

"I smell it." Xiao Fei frowned.

"The nose is very smart."

"It's the smell molecule detection device, not my nose. But every time the device detected something, I felt like I was smelling what it described, and the psychiatrist said it was a normal reaction, similar to the phantom limb reaction that I had from time to time after I had a prosthetic fit. ”

"What does it feel like to have a phantom limb react to the ground?"

"It's probably because you have an extra pair of invisible hands, and at the same time your brain keeps telling you that 'the current hand is not real', so there is a serious sense of disobedience when you grasp something, and the brain doesn't want to admit that the nerve signals coming from the 'arm' are like that."

"What then?"

"It's just a distraction, it's not a big deal. It's supposed to be this door, right? ”

Xiao Jian didn't answer, and pushed the door open.

There was already a small bouquet of flowers in the corner of the door.

The whole scene is well protected, in other words, all the victims who died tragically are still in the room as they were when they were found, but they are sprayed with gel spray to protect them from corruption.

"It's tragic." Xiao Fei couldn't help but say, "This killing method, could it be an extreme religious terrorist?" ”

"It's not particularly clear at the moment, but according to the memories of many survivors, they didn't hear Alahuagua, and it's not okay if this kind of slogan is not shouted loudly, right?"

Xiao Fei nodded.

At this time, Xiao Jian said to the police officer who was still pacing back and forth with frowns in the room: "Boss, I brought it to you as a prosthetic expert." ”

The "leader" nodded, and then went straight to the point: "What do you guys think?" ”

Xiao Fei pointed to the surveillance equipment in the room: "Those didn't shoot anything?" ”

"It's out of order. In the whole case, only the surveillance equipment in this house failed, so the murderer should not be able to hide his body while doing such an exaggerated crime. ”

"That's ......"

Xiao Fei smacked his lips and began to walk around the scene on his own, checking on the victims who were visiting the scene.

"It's brutal, but it doesn't look like it's something that only a prosthetic person can do." After watching a circle, Xiao Fei said, "Ordinary people can do this kind of thing." ”

"Yes, ordinary people can complete the crime within the time frame we have set a time frame with a little preparation of the right tools. The question is his motivation for doing this, and how he managed to get out. ”

Amber: "Pleasant offender? ”

"Boss" nodded again: "There is this possibility, and recently there have been more such bastards with abnormal pleasures in my country." In addition, this may also be a sacrifice made by some kind of cult, and we have checked the files of cult organizations recorded in the last 30 years, and we have not found any cults with such sacrifice rituals. ”

Xiao Fei smacked his lips.

"If it is to increase the public's antipathy towards prosthetic people, it should be more high-sounding to let everyone know that they are prosthetic people." Xiao Fei made a speculation that it was related to his field of work.

The officers all had expressions like "worthy of being a member of that maid shop."

At this time, Amber suddenly tugged on Xiao Fei's sleeve again.

Xiao Fei lowered his head and saw Amber raising his finger to the ceiling: "Look there, the grid coordinates ......"

"I see it." Xiao Fei interrupted Amber, "As soon as I looked up, my computer caught anomalous pixels. ”

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jian asked hurriedly, and at the same time looked up at the ceiling.

"Sign, very small. It should have been printed on it with a hand-held laser stamping machine, an ultra-miniature version. The prisoner left his mark at the scene, maybe he was a guy who went crazy reading a strange thief novel or something. ”

Amber: "Pleasant offender, I guessed right. ”
