Chapter 15: Crisis Strikes
"I think my master is probably crazy." The parrot interjected inappropriately and flapped its wings as he spoke.
After the joy, Li Qi was in a good mood, and he didn't care about it, he thought about it and said, "Master? It doesn't seem to be bad, then the owner will give you a name, um~, parrot? Forget it, let's call it Xiao Wu. ”
"Master, this name is so ugly, I want to change it!"
"If you don't change it, get out of here!"
"I want to change~"
"Nope."
……
Just as they were arguing over a name, the doorbell rang, and Li Qi came out to open the door, only to see Spooner walking in from the door in a mess with blood on his head.
"Hey, Spooner, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Spooner's appearance, Li Qi hurriedly supported him, and suddenly thought that he would go to the doctor's house.
Let Spooner sit down first, and Li Qi asked Ace to get some ice cubes and some cleaning potions.
"I just ......" Spooner was about to speak, when he saw Ace walking out with something, he immediately stopped, looked at Li Qi and said: "Can you let your robot out, I don't want to talk in front of him, and what's going on with this parrot?." ”
Li Qi smiled slightly, knowing that Spooner had a bad impression of robots, and he had just been brought back to life by the destructive robot, and he didn't like robots even more.
nodded and said to Ace: "Ace, you go out for a walk first, and I'll call you in later." As for this one, it's my pet, but it's very smart, and it's inevitable that a person will be bored. ”
"Yes, sir!" Ace put his things down and obediently opened the door and went out.
Seeing Ace go out, Spooner himself wrapped himself in a bandage medicine, ignoring the parrot and sitting down, exhaled, "I just went to Dr. Lenny's house, a devastating robot demolished the house while I was still inside." ”
"Didn't you go in and get certified?" Li Qi asked again.
"Yes, yes, I've certified it, and the destructive robot was supposed to start demolishing the house at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Spooner took a sip of his drink.
"In other words, someone changed the setting to destroy the robot after you went in, right?" Li Qi poured himself a glass of water.
"Yes, that's right! I suspect it's the USR guys, Robertson, who wants to destroy the evidence. Spooner Road.
"Evidence?" Li Qi raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, Li Qi, you don't know what I found in Dr. Lanny's room, I found out that there is a sensor line in his room, yes, it's the kind of all-weather surveillance in USR, I suspect Roberson uses the sensor line to monitor Dr. Lanny. Also, in Dr. Lenny's computer speech, I found out that he kept mentioning a "ghost in the machine", Li Qi, do you know what "ghost in the machine" means? ”
Li Qi understood after thinking about it in his mind, but he couldn't tell Spooner so bluntly now, and Snap asked casually and didn't expect him to answer, so Li Qi shook his head, looked at Spooner and said: "In this way, Spooner, tomorrow you check the relationship between Dr. Lenny and Roberson, and check their calls and messages or everything, I think if Dr. Lenny's death is related to Robertson, maybe you will find some clues." And I'll go to USR again tomorrow to see Sonny again, and finish asking what I didn't say today. ”
"Okay, then we'll do it!"
"The future starts today, ladies and gentlemen, starting with the NS-5, more sophisticated, smarter, of course, the three laws, total protection, with daily updates, your robot will never lose contact with the USR, it is perfect for both business and home, trade your old NS-4 for a new NS-5, the future will be even better! But be quick, this promotion won't be too long, USR presents ......"
The next morning, the streets and alleys were sounded with USR advertisements, not only Chicago, but also New York, Washington and other major cities around the world, and all of a sudden, all the NS-4 intelligent robots on the street were replaced by NS-5. In addition to humans, it seems to be another race living with humans.
"Sir, today's USR NS-5 promotion, you can use me to exchange for a more intelligent NS-5 intelligent robot to serve you." At the dinner table, Ace suggested to Li Qi, who was eating.
Li Qi finished eating the last bite of the fried egg, wiped his mouth with the meal paper handed by Ace, and said with a smile: "No need, the food you cook is more delicious." ”
"Thank you for the compliment, sir!" Ace thanked him.
Li Qi smiled slightly, didn't say anything, picked up the key and went out to work at the police station.
Looking at the NS-5 robots all over the street, Li Qi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Of course, he knew that the NS-5 was smarter than the NS-4, but by the evening everyone would know the dangers of the NS-5, which had been controlled by the "wiki", and when it was time to change, the NS-5 would become the "wiki" custom machine to "protect" the human race.
When it came time for the police station to report, Li Qi applied to go out on duty and soon drove to the USR company. After taking the ID and telling the front desk that she wanted to see Susan, Susan came to him.
"Good morning, Agent Li Qi!" When Susan saw Li Qi, she said hello.
"Good morning, Susan, if you don't mind, just call me Li Qi." Li Qi stretched out his hand to shake her and replied.
"Okay, Li Qi, I don't know what you have to do with me?" Susan was very crisp and neat, and immediately changed her words.
"Nothing, it's just that I want to talk to Sonny again." Li Qi said what happened straight to the point.
"Sonny? Sorry, but who is Sonny? Susan apparently didn't know the name Sonny yet.
"It's the robot we caught yesterday." Li Qi said.
"Your name is Sonny the robot?" Susan asked.
"No, it was Sonny himself, it said that Dr. Lenny gave it the name." Li Qi shook his head and said.
Susan's expression flickered, and she said, "Okay, so do you see anything wrong with Sonny?" I think Robertson made it clear yesterday that Sonny is innocent. ”
"Okay, Sonny is innocent, Susan, don't get excited, I just think that since Sonny is hiding in Dr. Lanny's laboratory, he must know more or less about why Dr. Lanny committed suicide, I'm just here to ask a few words, I won't do more, okay?" Li Qi looked at Susan Dao.
Susan looked at Li Qi and pondered for a while, before saying, "Okay, but it's only for questioning, if you have any other actions, I will ask you to leave the USR company." ”
"OK, no problem!" Li Qi nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Li Qi agreed, Susan nodded, then turned around and walked towards the elevator with Li Qi.
