Chapter 8: The Mystery of the Rich Men Causes of Death
Simon piloted the ship and led the group to the port of Gaia, where the Passage Guards were stunned to see his official bounty hunter, apparently for the first time they had seen an official bounty hunter alive.
The division of Gaia Star is clear, the two districts A and B are the neighborhoods where government functions and various business activities are located, the C area is the area where politicians or government employees live, the D area is the territory of wealthy businessmen, and after the E area, they are all places where ordinary people live.
From Zone D onwards, areas from 0 to 10 are also divided according to the difference between rich and poor, and the people living in the area with the smaller the number are richer ......
The place where the deceased wealthy merchant lived was Area 0 in District D, which shows that this person has a strong family background.
But what's the use? It's not an inexplicable tragic death at home......
Simon drove a hoverbike rented from the port and took Eva and the others to the Regal's villa.
It's a retro-style 4-story villa with robot dogs barking at Simon on the lawn.
Eva scanned the robot dog with a tablet, and quickly docked with the chip that controlled the dog: "Hey, little thing, what's unusual lately?" Let me check it out......"
She crouched down, took out a blue-glowing data cable from the back of the robot dog, and found it on her tablet.
Simon stood behind her, following along with him as he quickly skimmed through the contents of the tablet.
Indeed, as Ida said, one day after the rich man entered the house, he never came out again, and not only that, but no one came to the door......
The robot dog is still programmed, getting up on time every day, patrolling the yard, etc......
"Eva! Uncle! Come on! At some point, Joey entered the backyard of the villa.
There is a muddy swimming pool with algae blooming in the water.
Joey took some pool water and began to do the test on the tablet he carried with him: "This water not only has the common algae of Gaia, but also some components that the instrument can't identify, I need to go back to the Viper Bar, in my room, before I can continue researching!" ”
"Take some pool water with you...... I guess Ida they need it too. Simon threw Joey a test tube.
At this time, Simon noticed that there was a string of dried up marks on the way from the pool to the room.
The part that emerges from the water looks like a large lump of objects, and the footprints are gradually shrinking as the road extends......
What kind of species can have such characteristics?
He blinked twice and recorded all of this on the retinal sensor.
"This dry mark, if I guess correctly, must have been left by the Sirens......" Joey said with some certainty.
"Oh? Are you sure? Simon asked rhetorically.
The sirens are one of the few races in the universe, they are very harsh on their habitats, need clean and unpolluted water, and eat fresh fish every day.
The sirens are in the form of a human body and a fishtail in the water, but when they are on the shore, they can become two legs like a normal person.
Moreover, the Sirens belong to a group that is expressly forbidden to raise households, and if the imprints on the ground really belong to the Sirens, then the owner of this villa must be doing some illegal things......
"Oh! Oh, my God! There's something in the room that even a robot like me can't bear to look at! ”
While everyone was still studying the dry marks on the ground, Oliver had already opened the back door......
There was a foul smell wafting from the room and the smell of rust after the blood had dried up, and after a few people asked, they all ran to the side and vomited......
"Oh! Oh my! How does this dead fat man have no head? Fortunately, the robot had no sense of smell, and Oliver was the first to enter the room to inspect it.
Simon vomited enough, quickly put on a mask, and turned on the air filter to make sure that the air that was breathing into his body was not smelly.
Eva and Joey also hurriedly put on their filter masks, and then dared to follow Simon into the room.
It's strange to say, generally this kind of rich villas are already equipped with super-first-class automation equipment, once there is any strange smell in the room, or garbage, these cleaning equipment will automatically start to deal with it.
However, the equipment in this villa was deliberately turned off in order to let the people around him find the dead rich man who had rotted and smelled.
"Uncle, there are traces on the floor of the room!" Eva held the tablet and looked at the ground, clearly showing the footprints of the perpetrator on the tablet.
"Sure enough, it's a Siren!" Joey leaned over and spoke eloquently.
Unlike the footprints of ordinary humans, the footprints of the Sirens have two more rows of fins on both sides of the soles of the feet, so the footprints on the ground are obviously two more traces of dirty water flowing down from the fins.
"Is there any need to investigate?" Simon looked at Eva and them.
"Investigate! At the very least, you must know where this siren has gone! ”
As soon as Eva finished speaking, she heard a clanging sound from upstairs, followed by a plop......
Well, the suspect didn't have to be caught, and he automatically jumped into the pool in front of them.
"Plug your ears! The siren's singing voice is seductive! And their claws are very sharp, so be careful! After saying that, Joey took the lead in putting the large soundproof headphones on his ears and hid in the house.
"I'm a robot, I'm not afraid ......"
Oliver sped out of the room, and if Simon hadn't caught him and caught the siren, he would have fallen into the pool first.
On the contrary, it was his rush that really startled the sirens who jumped into the pool, and they jumped out of the water at once.
Seeing this, Simon didn't care so much, so he jumped up directly, hugged the siren, and let it show its teeth and claws in his arms.
The nails clawed at Simon's mech, making a high-pitched, shrill sound.
On the contrary, this sound became a weapon against the Sirens, and soon the Sirens in Simon's arms stopped moving and fainted.
"Whew...... Is this a blessing in disguise? Simon looked at his body and touched it, it was the hardest metal in the universe, no matter how much the sirens scratched it, it didn't leave any trace.
However, Simon first tied up the sirens, and then returned to the villa, photographed the pity, and passed it on to Ada.
"Oh, it's disgusting...... No wonder the rich man's son won't let us police intervene, and once his father's private sirens are exposed, their entire family business will be destroyed......," Ida sighed.
"So now ......"
"Uncle! The Sirens are awake! ”
Before Simon could finish his feedback, Eva shouted excitedly.
