Mechanical Memory: Chapter 7
The command vehicle was driving along the coast, and Li Zhe and the others were looking at the sea scenery in the distance. Due to the lack of management of the coastal environment here in the slums, the nearby sea water is a little black and smelly, and you can't help but feel like you want to leave quickly. At the other end of the sea level, which can be seen by the naked eye, it is extremely clear. Due to the sunlight, you can see a faint green glow on the sea in the distance. Li Zhe looked at the black and green sea, and couldn't help yawning, and at the same time, a sense of sleepiness surged in his body.
He glanced at his phone and exclaimed, "It's almost there, we haven't even eaten lunch." ”
"Luckily, we had some food when we just watched the show. No way, let's find a restaurant on the way back to the road. Uncle replied.
At this time, Lu Jian sat in the front row. I kept my head down and looked at the tablet. So Li Zhe curiously leaned his head up from the back of the car and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
"When I was looking at the location of the Katsuzo robot in Rishima, this area felt quite small, and it used to be a factory for a large company that produced drones, but it was closed for technical reasons. It may take some time to get there, but now we have to narrow down the search as much as possible. Lu Jian was still looking at the screen intently.
After about 10 minutes, they came to the abandoned factory. It's a sparsely populated area, and a few drunks can occasionally be seen lying on the ground. There is also a group of homeless people who have made this place their gathering place.
After the three of them got out of the car, they split up to look for them. Previously, Lu Jian divided the search area into 3 equal parts, Li Zhe searched the northern region, Uncle searched the central region, and Lu Jian was responsible for the rest of the southern region.
Li Zhe traveled all over the large and small workshops, as well as warehouses, but did not find anything valuable. At most, all he saw was a few homeless people curled up in the corner of the warehouse and sleeping, and nothing was gained. Soon, news also came from the uncle and Lu Jian. Not surprisingly, they didn't get anything either. Even the insightful Lu Jian did not find any valuable clues.
At this time, Li Zhe was almost giving up, and he casually entered an inconspicuous warehouse, but there was a sudden low ** from inside, like a ghost: "Why are you here again, didn't you say that you will never come again?" ”
Li Zhe was startled, and at the same time looked for the location where the voice came from, and found a thin old man slumped on a stool, and a lamp was still on next to him.
The old man turned around and glanced at Li Zhe, "It turns out that it's not him, who are you and what are you doing here?" Again, a deep voice sounded.
After Li Zhe revealed his identity to him, the old man was startled. I thought he had committed something and came to arrest him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to get you, I'm looking for something else." Li Zhe explained as he observed the warehouse. To his surprise, the warehouse felt much more new than the others, and it still looked like it was being used.
Out of curiosity, Li Zhe asked the old man about the reason why he stayed in this warehouse.
The old man may have felt that the other party was a policeman, so he said truthfully: "I have been living here all along, but this warehouse was not mine, but someone else's." I just stumbled upon this warehouse a week ago and decided to stay here for the time being. And the man came out of nowhere today, took some of the things he had left here, and gave me the storehouse. But he was not bad, and left me with this practical lamp, so that I could read some books in the evening. ”
Only then did Li Zhe notice that there were still a few very old books on the table, and even the book covers were about to rot. Since people now use tablets to read, paper books are still rare for Li Zhe.
But now these are not important, he immediately opened the phone, handed the photo on the phone to the old man's eyes, and asked, "Is this the person in the photo?" ”
The old man frowned and replied, "Yes, yes, yes! That's the man! ”
Li Zhe was suddenly a little overjoyed, but he didn't expect that he would accidentally find the warehouse where Rijima Katsu was hiding robots. So he didn't say a word and informed the other two team members.
The old man suddenly sighed and said, "Hey, I feel that he is a very good boy, why did he become like this." Young people nowadays are really confusing. Could it be that he's the fugitive who people have been talking about peddling robots lately? ”
Li Zhe was silent, he didn't want to reveal too much news to the old man, he just nodded symbolically. At the same time, he began to search the warehouse. It didn't take long for him to realize that they were a step too late. It is very likely that the place was cleared by the time Katsu Lijima came today, so I didn't find any information that could be used as a clue.
The old man spoke again at this time: "I didn't expect it to be true, I was still a little suspicious before." When I first discovered this place, there were still some huge footprints on the ground, and I was a little puzzled. It seems that my suspicions are true. ”
"Didn't he leave anything behind? Except for that lamp. Li Zhe asked.
The old man shook his head. At this time, Lu Jian and Uncle hurried here, but even if they came, it was too late.
Soon after, the three of them returned to the command car tiredly and sighed deeply.
"It didn't turn out to be anything, except for this computer that couldn't be unlocked." Li Zhe glanced at the computer in the trunk and felt that he had received some comfort.
"Then it's time to see our weekly notice." After the uncle finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator.
On the other side, on a commercial street in the center of Aixing. Since it was a Saturday, the streets were full of pedestrians. At this time, Hao Wu took He Zhi's hand and admired the scenery in front of them.
"It's really strange, you usually hate how many and mixed places this kind of person has." Hao Wu said to He Zhi.
"It doesn't matter now." He Zhi smiled.
"You're so calm now, thinking that you were in the mechanical room that day. I was really shocked to hit the bullseye with 10 shots. I still remember when you first joined the company, you couldn't even hold your hands steady when you held a gun. And your current strength is comparable to that of an entire police force. Hao Wu also smiled.
"I was surprised myself." He Zhi said, "That day, I tried to exercise on the treadmill at home, but I didn't expect that I could easily run to the highest speed that the treadmill could reach. ”
When Hao Wu heard this, he couldn't help but sweat. I also have points in my heart about He Zhi's condition.
At this time, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, He Zhi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Come to my house for dinner tonight?" I haven't cooked in a long time and want to review it in the evening. ”
Hao Wu smiled shyly, but at this moment, the mobile phone suddenly rang. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and showed that it was Liu Haitao's phone.
"Hey, Captain, it's me." From the other side of the phone came the uncle's voice.
"Oh, Brother Tao, how's the situation?" Hao Wu asked.
At this time, Lu Jian, Li Zhe and his uncle were eating noodles in a small noodle restaurant. They were already hungry, and while they were waiting, they almost collapsed in their seats, not even wanting to move a finger.
But when the waiter brought the noodles, they suddenly pounced on them like cats seeing mice.
After eating about the same time, the uncle called Hao Wu and reported to him the results of today's search. When Hao Wu heard that Lidao Sheng collided with Li Zhe today, he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart.
He Zhi saw that he suddenly held his mobile phone tightly with both hands, and couldn't help but worry about him.
After a while, Hao Wu put down his phone. "What's going on?" He Zhi asked.
"Today, Li Zhe and the others went to the slum to investigate the scene, and they accidentally bumped into Lidao Sheng." Hao Wu said.
"Did you catch him?"
"No, he ran away."
"It's good that a few of them are fine." He Zhi replied. She remembered the night of the accident, and a stream of heat rushed over her head. She looked at Hao Wu, and after noticing his tense look, she took the initiative to hug him.
"He Zhi, what's wrong with you?" Hao Wu came back to his senses at this time.
"Don't think about it so much, stay here with me tonight." He Zhi raised his head and looked at Hao Wu and said softly.
Hao Wu looked at her in surprise. This was the first time He Zhi invited Hao Wu to stay overnight after the operation. Hao Wu's face turned red and asked shyly, "He Zhi, you... . Are you there, okay? ”
He Zhi smiled after hearing this, and said, "What are you thinking!" My external anatomy is basically the same as before. ”
Hao Wu couldn't help but laugh at once. He put his hands on He Zhi's shoulders and slowly leaned his face over. In this way, their lips fit tightly together.
