Chapter 8: Meet the Bureau
Richard knew that he had to go back to the Criminal Investigation Bureau today.
Richard got into his red sports car and went out into the street.
Looking through the car window, the whole city is planned in an orderly and magnificent manner. The roads are straight and wide, criss-crossed, and the streets are full of traffic and are very lively. There are no skyscrapers in the city, most of the buildings are only 20 stories high, and the overpasses are four or five stories high, curved and coiled, and fly through the air. There are a lot of cars, and the style is similar to that of modern country M.
The streets are lined with overhead transparent pipes with many light rail trams running through them. Below is the moving walkway, where people are standing on conveyor belts. The people here wear clothes made of high-end fabrics, and their expressions are peaceful and happy, and their appearance is basically the same as that of modern humans.
There were many large and small airships in the air, flying slowly and leisurely, and some even landed on the roof platform of a certain building.
Richard involuntarily compared the two capitals, and in his own opinion, Posedonia was inferior to H.
After crossing a few streets, he parked his car in front of a large office building, locked it and headed upstairs.
He pushed open the door to the bureau's office, and the bureaucracy looked up from the table, and a fierce gaze shot straight at him.
The bureau seat is a middle-aged man with white hair and a pair of discerning blue eyes.
"Richard, I haven't heard anything from you for two days, I'm really worried about you."
"It's all right," he leaned back in his chair as if nothing had happened, "and there were some unpleasant hiccupes, but they were all over." I've basically figured out the inside information of the robot family. β
"Oh, yes? Let's talk about it. The bureau handed over a cigarette.
Richard is the favorite general of the bureau, so he is very casual in front of the bureau. He took the cigarette and took a puff, "In the past month, I have investigated and secretly investigated some suspected robot companies, and found that there are two large companies that have broken through the technical bottleneck and invented super-intelligent biochemical cycnicians and programmers. β
"Oh, which companies? What are the features? β
"The 'Metco' company is one, and they produce the 'biochemical cyborg', which is equipped with an artificial brain, an artificial heart, a blood circulation system, a respiratory system, a urinary system, and also implants artificial kidneys, electronic ears, retina and other components. All physiological functions of a human have been achieved. The recently developed simulated bones, simulated skin, and simulated muscles have been successfully tested and have reached complete real-life. β
"Oh, that's a big discovery. What about the other one? β
"The other is the 'Gao Jian' company. They invented a kind of 'programmer', which is a kind of black technology that transforms real people into robots through medical means. That is, through a surgical operation, a very small chip is implanted into the human brain, and various instructions and a large amount of information have been entered on this chip, and the original autonomous consciousness of the human brain has been completely lost, and all actions will be acted in accordance with the instructions issued by this chip. That is, robots that are completely controlled by brain chips. The appearance is exactly the same as that of a real person, but the brain has been modified. β
"OMG! Robots have come to this point?! This, this, this...... Oh my God...... This...... Isn't it close to the brink of losing control? β
Richard smiled bitterly: "My lord, it's not close to the edge, but it's out of control." β
"Huh?! Already out of control? β
"Yes. Do you think, if anyone can install a new brain chip through this kind of surgery, then will our future human beings be divided into 'pure humans' and 'semi-humans'? Or 'real people' and 'cyborgs', or 'primitive real people' or 'programmers'? β
"yes, that makes sense...... Makes sense...... It's terrible......" Realizing that the problem was extremely serious, he scratched his scalp with his little finger, stood up, walked to the window, stared out of the window, and did not speak for a long time.
Suddenly, he thought of something, walked quickly to the telephone, grabbed the phone, "Hey, is the chief of the security section?" Come to my office right away. β
Before he put down the phone, the chief of the public security section pushed the door in.
"George, what's going on with your recent investigation of missing persons?"
Section Chief George said: "Report to the bureau, I have checked, the recent more than 1,000 cases of missing persons are not simple kidnapping cases or private vendetta at all, but an organized, planned large-scale operation. β
"What? Large-scale operations? The chair frowned, his face solemn, and he sat back in the executive chair heavily.
George said: "Bureau, I ask for more manpower to increase the intensity of the investigation. β
The bureau stared into his eyes and said, "Yes, transfer another 50 officers from the operations department to you, and you must find out the whereabouts of these missing persons as soon as possible!" If someone kidnapped them, who did it? Where are they all locked up? Alive? β
George immediately got up and said, "Yes!" I'll do it right away. "Leave quickly.
The bureau turned his head and asked Richard, "Are you going to connect with Martin these two days?" β
"Yes. However, the first two joints were not safe, there were suspicious people, and the two joints were unsuccessful. Martin said on the phone that there was important information for me, and I was going to wait for him at the alternate joint location today. β
"Martin also called me, and he said that he got a copy of the minutes of the meeting of the senior management of the 'Metco' company, and their robot clan is ready to attack us humans!" The missing people were taken by them and kept in a hidden place for the purpose of human experimentation. I've said it a long time ago: if these robot companies are allowed to develop independently and uncontrolled, sooner or later, they will come to change the lives of our human beings. This has come true, right?! β
Richard suddenly realized that the situation was not good, and said a little nervously: "I think Martin is probably exposed." Seat ...... Uh, is it necessary for me to see him? β
The bureau said sharply: "You have to see him, no matter how big the risk is, it's worth taking!" The minutes of the meeting in his hand are a document concerning the fate of all mankind, and he must find a way to get it! β
"Yes!" Richard immediately got up, saluted, and turned to leave.
Old Captain's Cafe. 3 p.m. sharp.
To be on the safe side, Richard arrived at the cafΓ© on Garden Street half an hour early.
The cafΓ© is decorated with a maritime style, which is quiet and elegant. Because it was daytime, there were few guests.
Richard picked a window seat near the back door, and when he sat down, he took off his trench coat. It has a wide view and can be seen from the front, back, left and right, so if something goes wrong, you can evacuate quickly.
The waiter came over, and he ordered a coffee and a snack.
Richard glanced down the hall and saw a few sporadic guests quietly drinking coffee and refreshments.
Richard glanced at his watch, 3 o'clock was 5 minutes, when a middle-aged man walked in from the entrance of the cafΓ©, the man was a little fat, with a round face, walking a little shaky, and holding a newspaper in his hand.
The man came to Richard's table, made eye contact with Richard, and sat down generously on the side of the table.
"Old Ma, what happened, why didn't you show up the first two joints?" Richard asked in a whisper.
Martin glanced around, lowered his voice and said, "Lao Li, since I stole this meeting minutes, the killers of the 'Meike' company have been following me, and I have to be careful when I even go to the toilet." β
Richard smiled and said, "Don't, you're a ** lake, you eat more bullets than I eat rice grains." β
"That's not what I said, ah, brother, 'Meike' takes the loss of this 'Summary' very seriously, and in order to recover it, six killers were sent, which shows how crazy they have been."
"Is there anything unseemly in this summary?"
"Conspiracy, a big conspiracy! The very existence of humanity has been threatened! "They are discussing the gradual transformation of human beings, the improvement of human races, the installation of brain crystal chips on living people, and finally the rule of the country by robots." β
"Oh, it's embarrassing! Brain crystal chip! Did you bring the minutes, hurry up and hand them over to me!" This also mitigates your risk. β
Martin opened the briefcase, took out a file bag, and handed it from under the table, "You have to hand it over to the bureau seat as soon as possible, and ask him to take precautions as soon as possible." β
"Don't worry, I will." Richard took the file bag and stuffed it into his briefcase.
The two were just about to get up, when suddenly, several suspicious men wearing peaked caps and black trench coats appeared at the front and back doors at the same time. The men looked sneaky, talking to each other, frequently watching in the direction of Richard and Martin.
Richard "chuckled" in his heart, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Oh no, the 'guest' is here!" β
Martin glanced at it, but was not nervous, but said calmly: "Lao Li, you withdraw first, I will drag them down." β
"No, you withdraw first, I'll break later!"
"Don't make a fuss, brother, there's no time, you go! Let's go!! β
Richard wanted to put it off, but seeing that the situation did not allow delay, he had to pretend to go to the toilet and hurriedly walked to the bathroom.
A man with black-rimmed glasses walked up to the table and said to Martin, "Are you Mr. Martin, please come with us." β
Martin raised his head calmly and said, "With you?" Who are you? I don't know you, do I? β
The man in glasses smiled fiercely: "You don't need to know us, we just know you." You've been arrested! β
"Oh, arrest? Can you show an arrest warrant? β
"What arrest warrant? CHITοΌ What the! The man with glasses said arrogantly: "You stole our company's trade secrets, have you ever shown me a voyeur card?" β
"I haven't spied on you guys, anything? I don't believe you can search! Martin opened his arms with an innocent expression on his face.
"Search? We'll search for it, but you'll have to go back with us first! Two men came up, one on each side and put their arms around Martin. Martin tried to struggle, but was firmly grasped and couldn't move.
The other two snatched Martin's briefcase, rummaged through it, and shook his head at the man in glasses.
The man with glasses seemed to understand something, pointed to the men's toilet and said, "Quick, that person is inside, one person blocks the door, and the others go in and arrest him!" β
Four men rushed to the men's restroom.
