Hearing the name, Ringo didn't react very much.

Because before Russell took her here, he didn't tell Ringo at all who they came here to see and what they were doing.

Russell's heart sank, and he secretly said that it was indeed the case.

But he didn't panic or be overwhelmed.

- Rather, after meeting the two synths last night, Russell had already thought of this possibility.

At that time, he had a premonition in his heart: he would probably not see the dust gap tomorrow.

Russell's conversation with the two synths was under the surveillance of No. 44 and the hotel during the entire conversation. Whoever the side that wanted to kill Russell before would have learned of this information and immediately realized that something was wrong.

It is unreliable to try to stop Russell by means of assassination...... Regardless of Chairman Saar's attitude, Russell and Ringo alone may not be able to solve it easily. And if you make a big deal and bring the dragon back, it will be tantamount to losing both.

Then, the decision to solve the problem from the other end is to be expected.

It's just that Russell didn't think of ...... They're going to be so radical and so desperate.

He originally thought that the dust gap would suddenly receive a business trip and stay away, or that he would be seriously injured and hospitalized due to being attacked. Just keep Russell mouthed in the few short days he has been on Tongshen Island. Russell will not be here for long anyway...... Anyway, he was only asked to solve the problem of the synth rebellion. In other words, when the problem of the synth rebellion is solved, Russell, the "hero of the outer islands", should be driven away.

- But they didn't even give Russell any room to use any means, but directly killed the dust gap.

This is a scientist with private technology specially invited from other sky islands!

Just inviting the dust gap, mainly the "electronic father" that the dust gap comes with, Tongshen Island paid a lot of price.

…… And now, this is cut and cut without hesitation at all?

Russell checked the personal information sent to him by the Rat Mouse Enforcement Department and confirmed that the person who died inside was the dust gap.

He couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure he's dead?"

"If you get his brain or something, can you still salvage it? Or can you be sure that the deceased is the crevice of the dust and not some other substitute? ”

"I guess it's hard."

The nezumi shook his head with an ugly face: "That's eight shots...... Two of them also hit the back of the head. Judging by the burn marks, one of the rounds was still a close-range shot. In other words, someone deliberately made two supplementary shots to the back of the head. ”

- That was supposed to prevent Russell from extracting memories.

Happiness Island has mature memory extraction technology. As long as the head within two hours of death is sent to the Tianen Group branch on Tongshen Island, a considerable amount of memories can be extracted from it.

But......

"Two shots? Are they all close-range shots? ”

Russell keenly captured a strange detail.

Is it necessary to make up two shots to the back of the head?

"Oh, there's a big suspicion here!"

The middle-aged executive department nodded, looking up at Russell with admiration and approval: "Because these two bullets are from two different guns."

"In other words, there are two guns that have been refilled once."

"Can you see the order?"

Russell asked, "How many shots did the two guns fire and in what order?" Where is the fatal wound, how many bullets are fired after death? ”

Listening to Russell's question, the nezumi was thoughtful.

He opened his mouth and suddenly asked, "Is Mr. 'Dust' your friend?" ”

"He and I are both from Happiness Island."

Russell's words were vague, but it sounded like a tacit acquiescence.

When the executive department member heard this, he couldn't help but show pity: "That...... You mourn and change.

"It's too cumbersome for me to talk about, and it's easy to confuse the details. Your permission gives you access to the site to collect leads...... Otherwise, I'll just pass on the bullet mark analysis software to you, right? ”

"Is that okay?"

"Ah, no problem. Moreover, this should be a must-have for all members of the executive department investigating the shooting, right? Before we join here, we will evaluate the performance of this software. ”

The nezumi smiled, his face full of deliberate flattery, but Russell keenly captured more complex emotions from it: "Presumably because your status is too high, and you never have to run a line on weekdays." In other empty islands, this software should have become ubiquitous...... Some cyber detectives also have cracked versions in their hands. ”

"No wonder."

Russell smiled gently, and didn't care about the somewhat yin and yang weird words: "After all, Happy Island is strictly forbidden to guns, and there are very few gun killings that can be encountered on weekdays." Basically, they were directly merged into the crimes of illegal psykers...... Those who can carry guns are either mercenaries or non-psionics.

"And we have very developed monitoring equipment. Although it is not as capable of covering all areas of the island except for the black zone as Sogo Island, it is possible to shoot almost any incident that occurs on the street directly from the scene. As for burglary cases...... In the six months I've been on the job, it seems like it's zero.

"In our Happy Island, simple gun killings are extremely rare. When I was in college, I learned how to use this software. But this software is regulated on our end...... There is only a very small department of four people dedicated to bullet mark analysis. And they don't run the line...... Initial analysis can be done with video recording and artificial intelligence alone, just from sitting in the office. ”

“…… That's pretty good, huh. ”

Only then did the middle-aged man realize that he had misunderstood Russell because of the different customs of each empty island.

While feeling guilty, his face also showed an undisguised look of envy: "Then your life must be very safe and very beautiful." ”

Hearing this, Russell's mind immediately appeared with the bombs arranged by the curtain of ignorance.

Once a month, the directors of the head office personally planted bombs in large shopping malls and downtown areas; and the bomb that was installed on the ground when the sky sent it to fame; The poison chip that the father of the previous inferior person prepared to distribute to the lower city will gradually weaken after only one use; The directors have reformed and trained their own killers to assassinate disobedient company executives, and even Delphinium, the head of the executive department, has been sniped in public......

The merchant wars hire each other's own mercenary groups to engage in auto-chess-like duels with guns and psionic energy in the second half of each night; After the bombardment of the angels is over, a street can be filled with corpses that add up to more than ten tons, and three trucks are piled up without pulling them all; The current "hero" took more than 2,000 innocent people hostage with bombs, just to destroy the fame of another hero......

Coupled with the fact that the crime rate in Uptown has skyrocketed to 5 percent per capita, the number of "evacuees" in Downtown has begun to skyrocket, nearly doubling half a year ago. The most trusted hero of the people in the upper city, "Ultramarine", is even the "godfather" of the largest criminal organization in the lower city, the Brokers......

"The First Evolution"

Thinking of this, Russell nodded sincerely, and said insincerely, but seriously: "That's true." Our Happy Island is still very safe. ”
