"Hello everyone, I'm your old friend Zhong Xian. The much-anticipated finals of the King of Wisdom Tournament are about to begin. After six days of fierce competition, eight players finally stood out and advanced to the finals. They are..."

Guo Minghao and I are already in place in the contestant preparation room. I received a call from Xiao Ye this morning, he said that he couldn't come over in the morning because of an emergency, let me and Ming Hao have a good game, and he will definitely come over in the afternoon. Xiao Ye, this guy, I don't know what happened at the critical moment.

"Today, the organizers of the King Tournament also came to the scene, let us applaud and please, the head of the North Underworld - the North Underworld Night, the Nangong family - Nangong Cuo, the Donglin family - Donglin Chun, the Xixiang family - Xixiang Yao, the cutting-edge director - Tang Yuan and the principals of the eight schools!"

……

[Song Shicong's office]

Song Shicong was checking the case materials and inadvertently recalled what happened in the Public Security Department the day before yesterday.

"Shi Cong, most of the month has passed, how is the case investigated?"

The afternoon before yesterday, Song Shicong was called to the director's office for questioning.

"Following the line of captivity, we have investigated all the places where the missing persons may be hidden, but..."Song Shicong's face tensed and lowered his head.

"I want to remind you that you're running out of time." Su Zhenhua got up from his seat, walked to Song Shicong's side and patted him and said, "There is a lot of pressure on public opinion today, and the top also attaches great importance to this case. Su Zhenhua's tone was heavy.

"I understand, Sioux Hall. It's just—" Song Shicong's words paused, and at the same time he walked to the window and looked out into the distance.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"There's one place we've never checked, and although there's nothing suspicious there, as a matter of routine, I would like to apply for a search warrant to lead a team into the area to investigate." Song Shicong raised his head and stared at the heights.

"You're talking about..."

Following the direction of Song Shicong's gaze, Su Zhenhua also looked at that place: in the sky in the distance, a huge fortress building floated, it was 12 kilometers above the ground vertically, gorgeous and magnificent, full of high-tech atmosphere. It is the headquarters of the Advanced Research Institute.

"Shi Cong, I understand your eagerness to investigate the case, but it's too outrageous for you to search the cutting-edge, how can the world's leading high-tech research institute have anything to do with the missing and imprisoned case? What's more, Director Tang Yuan is my best friend, and I know his personality best. ”

Su Zhenhua rejected Song Shicong's request for a search warrant to enter the cutting-edge.

"Team Song, there is an important report!" At this time, Shen Fei, a member of the serious crime team and a subordinate of Song Shicong, knocked on the door hurriedly.

"Come on in." Seeing Shen Fei walking in quickly, Song Shicong hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Is it missing again? ”

"Well, nine times out of ten, it has something to do with the 306 incident. Just now, a man named Xiao Ye came to report the case with a creative intelligence machine called Sword Shark, saying that Ye Zihan, the master of Sword Shark, was missing, and Sword Shark had gone through the whole process of the crime. This is the first time we have found direct witnesses, and there may be very valuable new clues, so I hurried to find you. ”

"Take me to them at once!" Song Shicong seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, he hurriedly got up from his seat and ran over with Shen Fei.

[Transcript Room]

"Mr. Xiao and Mr. Sword Shark, I've been waiting for a long time, I'm Song Shicong, the captain of the serious crime team."

Song Shicong shook hands with Xiao Ye and Sword Shark, and then the two sides sat down face to face. Song Shicong wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and gasped lightly.

"Hello, I'm going to help Sword Shark report the crime, his master Ye Zihan was taken away, no, by a creative intelligence machine." Xiao Ye said.

"Taken away? Can you tell us more about the case? At this moment, Song Shicong tried his best to suppress his extremely excited emotions and asked in a tone as smooth as possible.

"Sword Shark, you can talk about what you said to me last night." Xiao Ye grabbed the shoulder of the sword shark and patted it gently.

"It was about 9:50 last night—"

[An alley last night at 9:49]

"Sword Shark, did you have fun today?"

"Well, it's a lot of fun! Thank you hosts! ”

Ye Zihan and Sword Shark had been playing in Robot Joy City all day, and were walking on their way to the space shuttle site home.

"I don't blame you for losing so badly this time, you have to perform well in next year's competition."

"Yes, I will." As soon as the sword shark finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a figure standing at the fork in the road in front of him, "Master, that's..."

"Why is he standing there alone at night? Forget it, let's go. ”

Ye Zihan and Sword Shark didn't intend to pay attention to the figure, but the figure began to move, gradually approaching them.

"Huh?"

The figure approached, and Ye Zihan and the sword shark slowly saw his appearance clearly.

"Master, he is also a creative machine." With a keen sense of smell among its kind, Sword Shark said.

The Zhizhi machine stopped two or three meters in front of Ye Zihan and the Sword Shark, and he didn't speak.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Ye Zihan took a look at the creative wisdom machine, stepped forward and asked.

Suddenly, the machine strode close to Ye Zihan, and then hit Ye Zihan in the abdomen with a punch.

"Ahh

"You!" Looking at Ye Zihan, who was fainting, the sword shark was furious, and immediately turned his palms into blades to prepare the attack mode, "Bastard, die!" ”

The sword shark rushed over and stabbed at the machine, which stood still and stretched out an arm.

"What's going on?" The sword shark suddenly felt the energy in his body suddenly decrease, his legs weakened, and he stopped in front of the machine, and his bladed hands unconsciously returned to their original state.

"Hmph, how do you feel?" That's when the machine spoke.

The sword shark felt that his energy continued to drain for unknown reasons, and he looked up at the machine that had straightened his left arm and his fingers in the shape of claws, and seemed to understand something.

"Your ability is to absorb the energy of other creative machines..."Sword Shark's whole body was weak, and he crouched down to support his unconscious body with his hands.

"Pretty smart. It's a pity—" The machine suddenly clawed down the head of the sword shark, "goodbye." ”

The energy slowly disappeared, and the sword shark gradually lost consciousness.

"Then I found the dying sword shark in the alley, and Ye Zihan was nowhere to be found at that time." Xiao Ye added.

"What an extremely important new clue, thank you!" Song Shicong couldn't suppress his excitement a little, "We have been investigating for so many days, and we have never considered this layer - Chuangzhiji committed the crime. ”

"There have been so many disappearances before, could it be that they were all done by Chuangzhiji?" Shen Fei said as he wrote the transcript.

"Whether it is or not, this clue has undoubtedly opened a new breakthrough for the 306 incident."

"It's unheard of to be able to absorb the energy of other Wisdom Machines." Xiao Ye said.

"Comrade policeman, please find my master and rescue him!" Sword Shark pleaded eagerly.

"yes, definitely."

"Team Song, that creative intelligence machine can make such a clear and thoughtful action, I don't think he is a wandering creative intelligence machine, he must have the master behind his back." Shen Fei finished writing the transcript and put down the pen.

"Well, that's right, his master, must have nothing to do with this case." Song Shicong thought for a moment, and then said, "However, I'm afraid that there is more than one prisoner. Shen Fei, you sort out the transcript just now, and go with me to meet Su Hall. ”

"Yes."

Song Shicong walked out of the transcription room and thought: Since it is all related to Chuangzhiji, there is really a need for careful investigation of that place. Even if it is not related to the case, valuable information may be found in it.
