Machine Memory: Chapter 1
In the bathroom, the bath water trickled down on Xu Hezhi's skin. She stared blankly at herself in the mirror, but sometimes felt like a stranger. At this time, she seemed unusually calm, but after something like that, she didn't feel that uneasy. She looked down at her hands, no different than usual. But she pondered.
"You don't have to worry about your normal daily life, the only problem now may be eating, because your body doesn't feel hungry, so you may not need to eat, and other things like sleeping and bathing shouldn't have much effect." This was instructed by Xu Hezhi's doctor before returning to his home.
Xu Hezhi felt that it was a little incredible to be able to memorize every word of the doctor's words as if he were a tape recorder.
At that moment, the doorbell rang suddenly. Xu Hezhi immediately subconsciously reached out and turned on the monitoring equipment installed in the bathroom, What caught her eye was a man in a black coat with a strong physique, but looking at him walking back and forth at the door, she felt that he was very uneasy. "I'm taking a shower, you can sit down first." With that, the door opened. He Zhi turned off the water, dried himself, and changed into the pajamas he usually wore.
Xu Hezhi recognized him at a glance, his name was Hao Wu, he was Xu Hezhi's colleague, and he was also her boyfriend.
When I got out of the bathroom door, I saw Hao Wuduan sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking dull. It should have been seeing his girlfriend's relationship, the muscles on his face suddenly relaxed, and a smile appeared. "What do you think of now?" He asked. Xu Hezhi slowly sat on the sofa and tidied up his beautiful short hair. "I don't feel like there's a noticeable change, except that my long hair is suddenly gone." Hao Wu laughed, probably amused. But for a moment, he recalled He Zhi's long hair not long ago, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
"What about other things, is there anything you don't fit into?" He asked.
Xu Hezhi was stunned for a moment, "If you want to say that there is, it should be that you feel that you can adapt to everything, obviously such an incredible thing happened, but I am very calm." I feel like I'm getting farther and farther away from humanity. He Zhi smiled bitterly. At this moment, Hao Wu stretched out his hand to hold He Zhi's hand, but when he was halfway through, he paused and took his hand back. "Xiao Wu, I've always wanted to ask you. He Zhi asked suddenly, and Hao Wu felt nervous. What's the problem? ""Why. . . Didn't give up on me at that time, but made such a decision? ”
Hao Wu sighed after hearing this, and said slowly: "The situation was critical at the time, and I didn't think much about it, I just wanted to save you, and there was no other way at that time, so I accepted the doctor's advice." ”
He Zhi didn't say anything after hearing this, slowly leaned over to him and kissed him lightly on the cheek. This was the way she had been comforting Hao Wu, and He Zhi felt that now was a good time.
"Don't blame yourself Xiao Wu, I don't blame you." He Zhi said softly.
Hao Wu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then hugged He Zhi tightly, "I'm sorry, He Zhi!" It's all my fault! At this moment, Hao Wu couldn't hold back his mood anymore, and said humbly vigorously.
. . . . . .
Early the next morning, Hao Wu came to the office of the criminal police team early. "Yo! It's been a long time since the captain came so early today! Zhou Xun, who spent the night in the office last night, quickly got up from the sofa. He saw Hao Wu come in with a relaxed face, and he was relieved a lot. After all, Captain Hao Wu has taken a month off and has not come to work, and the entire criminal police team has not taken any action during this period.
"What's the matter, Xiao Zhou, haven't you been home recently?" Hao Wu asked as soon as he came in.
"Hey, it's far away to go home, and there is no one at home these days, so they have all gone out to travel, so I simply don't go back." Zhou Xun's house is in the east of Aixing, and it usually takes 30 minutes to take the direct subway home, because the ticket is very expensive, so he simply doesn't go back these days and sleeps directly in the office. Captain Hao Wu nodded, after all, he and Zhou Xun had known each other for several years, and knew that he would sometimes not go home, so he didn't ask more. He sat down at his desk and placed his briefcase against the side as usual.
It didn't take long for the other members to arrive.
At half past nine in the morning, Captain Hao Wu and his team members sat around the table. "Now that everyone is here, let's get started!" The captain announced. There are a total of 6 members in the criminal police team that Hao Wu is the captain of, and there were 7 people a few weeks ago, and the absent team member is Xu Hezhi.
At this time, Hao Wu stood up and bowed his head to the members of the criminal police team.
"The last action, and the recent absence, is really sorry for you. I'm in good shape now, and hopefully we'll be able to resolve the case this time. The captain said solemnly.
When one of the team members saw this, he immediately said, "Captain, we can all understand you, you don't have to apologize to us." The person who spoke was named Li Zhe, a new police officer who had just joined the company. He is not very tall, and he looks a little immature from the outside. After he finished speaking, the other members also agreed.
Hao Wu raised his head, looked at the new police officer with a smile, and asked, "Li Zhe, are you okay lately?" ”
Li Zhe was startled and replied in a panic: "I'm fine, don't worry about me." Li Zhe suddenly avoided Hao Wu's eyes.
Hao Wu hesitated for a moment, then continued to talk about the next topic: "As you can see, we are still in charge of the case of Lidao Sheng, and we must catch him this time!" The team members felt the captain's consciousness from their tone at this moment.
"I have a question." I saw one of the team members raise his hand, "Why didn't the boss hand over this case to other teams to deal with this time, but waited until now?" "This team member's name is Lu Jian, and he is a newcomer who has just joined the company. Because of his super insight and analytical ability, he was recognized by Hao Wu.
"I don't know the specifics, this is the arrangement from above, and there is no way to do it. Since we are being asked to continue investigating this case, we must get to the end. As soon as he finished speaking, he continued to ask, "Xiao Lu, what do you think about this case?" ”
"As we know by now, Katsu Rishima, who is a major criminal who illegally bought and sold armed robots, has been responsible for more than 10 robot injuries, and he is likely to be lurking in that slum now. He was lucky enough to let him escape when he destroyed his stronghold, and he also sacrificed one of our important members. From this point of view, his arrest is an immediate priority. Lu Jian analyzed in an orderly manner.
The slum in Lujiankou is located in the southernmost part of Aixing City, along the coast. Many of the people here have fled from across the sea, and half of them are illegal immigrants. In addition, there are many black market vendors and criminal organizations here.
Hao Wu nodded, "Your analysis is very good, it has been almost a month since he escaped, and he should have found a new stronghold." Judging from the reports sent by reconnaissance drones in the last month, he has not appeared on the other side of the slum. But that doesn't mean he's gone. After all, there's no way someone who can make that kind of thing doesn't know to be on the lookout for our tracking. So now we have to speed up our actions and report to me immediately if there is any movement of him.
The meeting lasted until noon, and everyone dispersed to eat in the cafeteria.
In the cafeteria, the team members are sitting around eating.
"Why did you buy a hamburger again, be careful of malnutrition, look at your system, if you don't exercise and eat more, it's not as useful as a machine patrolman." The gray-haired criminal policeman was called Liu Haitao, and he accused Li Zhe, who had just sat down.
"Uncle, didn't you buy a small sandwich?" Zhou Xun answered, and everyone laughed.
The uncle frowned, "What are you talking about, I'm almost 50 years old, it's normal to eat this." ”
"Ah, I have a small appetite, uncle." Li Zhe smiled awkwardly and ate it. Everyone likes to call the eldest cop uncle, and he's used to it.
But after Li Zhe didn't eat a few bites, he suddenly stopped, "Then again, Sister Xu, she doesn't know what's going on now?" ”
At this time, the female criminal policeman sitting on the side suddenly paused.
"Don't worry, the captain went to see her yesterday, and he was in a good mood early in the morning, so he should be in good condition." After Zhou Xun finished speaking, he slowly took a sip of seaweed soup.
"He Zhishe, she is already dead. . . " The female detective sitting on the side suddenly said something, then got up and left with the plate. Only the rest of the team members were left with a dull expression.
