Bionic Era

"Yezi, why did you come back so early today?" Duan Tiannan smiled gently, looking at the girl.

"The boss said that rainy days are suitable for sleeping, so he didn't come to open the door." The girl smiled sweetly and said hello to the group of middle-aged people.

Everyone responded with a smile.

Residents in urban areas often do not know each other even if they are next door.

On the contrary, this slum has retained good neighborhood relations.

It was only then that Lu Wen realized that the middle-aged Duan Tiannan and the young girl were actually a father and daughter.

But Duan Tiannan's face belonged to the kind of people who couldn't remember it at a glance, and couldn't remember it even after a few more glances. Didn't everyone say that daughters follow their father's appearance? This is too outrageous...

"The two of you are here for dinner. Hey, I thought they were here to shelter from the rain." The shopkeeper noticed Lu Wen and the two, and handed over the menu with a smile.

"fine."

Xia Chuluo didn't look at the menu and ordered two beef noodles.

Lu Wen scanned the girl beside him.

【Duan Hongye】

[20-year-old human female]

【unemployed】

Working in a milk tea shop is considered unemployed in the system?

Lu Wen thought about it, maybe it was because of the labor contract.

"Sister, what do you do for work? It's really enviable that you can bring a bionic person with you to assist you in your work."

"private detective."

"Ah, no wonder my sister can tell what I do at a glance."

"This area is not safe recently, so don't go out at night."

"Uh-huh."

Lu Wen always felt that the content of the chat between the two was a little weird.

It's obviously normal, but it always sounds like something is wrong.

The rain came quickly and stopped quickly.

Before the noodles were finished, the rain stopped.

After a while, several people finished their meal.

The girl Duan Hongye said goodbye to the two, and then left the noodle shop with Duan Tiannan.

Lu Wen looked at the backs of the two leaving, groped his chin, and thought for a while.

"That girl is the murderer?" He said suddenly.

Xia Chuluo was startled, and looked up at Lu Wen.

She pulled out a tissue and wiped her mouth, but there was no immediate response.

"Let's go back to District 13, the doctor told me to rest well."

"Then I'll take it as you admit it."

...

Outside the low bungalow.

The girl Momiji took out the key and opened the door.

The room is always a little dark, and a single energy-saving lamp does not brighten the living room.

"Why are you going to see her?" Hongye threw her backpack on the sofa, her plain tone seemed to be a different person, completely different from the girl in the noodle shop who always had a smile on her lips.

"Meet the daughter of an old friend."

Duan Tiannan smiled, walked to the kitchen, and took out a bottle of cold beer from the old refrigerator.

Although this middle-aged man escaped the blessing of middle-aged fat, his stomach gradually became smaller.

"If she is that person's daughter, how could she live to such an age?"

"A matter of principle, you, you still don't understand our generation..."

Duan Tiannan smiled and turned on the TV, holding a beer in his hand, leaning on the sofa, leaning down, half lying down.

It's those old westerns again, with a strong sense of history.

Hongye also likes to watch a movie from the last century.

"Do you know "This Killer Is Not So Cold?" she asked.

"What's so interesting about it? You little girls like to watch it."

"Heh, you still don't understand our generation!"

"..."

The corners of Hongye's mouth curled up slightly, pulling back a round.

She turned and walked into the kitchen, took out a bottle of milk, and sat on the sofa as well.

In this small room, it seems that it has not changed for more than ten years, the same old objects, the same old movies, but some people have grown up, and some people are getting old slowly.

"Xia Chuluo knew it was you."

"Today I……"

"She knew it yesterday, and even the bionic man next to her may have seen it."

"Why?"

The girl Hongye obviously didn't believe that she had done well enough.

She and Xia Chuluo are the same age, and she is confident that she will not lose to anyone of the same age.

"The deliberately made milk tea stains have already cost you a trick."

"anything else?"

"The murderer likes to return to the scene after committing a crime, some to observe whether the scene is perfect, some to appreciate his masterpiece, and some to show off in front of the executive officer... You belong to the third type."

Duan Tiannan paused, took a sip of beer to moisten his throat.

"You want to see how Xia Chuluo finds the murderer, you want to see her helpless, you show up in front of her, it gives you a sense of accomplishment... But you still don't know her, Xia Chuluo is best at It is to analyze the psychology of others.”

"I remember I told you before, after the end, leave immediately, the farther the better, in this way, you can live longer, only two kinds of people will return to the scene, one is a fool, and the other is a peerless genius , and you... are not a genius."

Hongye was silent, holding a milk bottle in her hand.

Duan Tiannan always smiles gently on weekdays, he looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, and he rarely criticizes Hongye.

But this time is different.

"If she really wanted to catch you, you wouldn't be able to come back yesterday."

"But this is a slum, and anyone looking for someone on the street may be a wanted criminal. She dare not arrest me!"

"This is indeed a slum." Duan Tiannan looked at the handsome cowboy on TV and said calmly, "Her father's slum..."

...

A black car gallops down the city road.

While driving, Lu Wen explained his analysis to Xia Chuluo.

"The feeling of you chatting with her is like... You have known each other for a long time, either she has known you for a long time, or you have known her for a long time."

"Have you become wiser recently?"

"I'm already very smart, otherwise why would you ask me to be your assistant?"

"Because I promised to protect you from death at the time, and it just so happens that my family lacks someone to cook."

"..."

Before the car entered the thirteenth district, the rain fell from the sky again.

Lu Wen turned on the wiper, but his vision was still blurry. The gray clouds in the distance looked like strange beasts crawling under the sky, wandering among the tall reinforced concrete buildings.

"I've found that analyzing things becomes more proactive once you know you're in debt."

"This... Could this be your conspiracy?"

Lu Wen suddenly felt menacing.

Of course, Xia Chuluo was also doing it for his own good. From the first day they met, he had been instilling various life-saving knowledge in him.

"By the way, you and that Hongye really knew each other before?"

"I don't know her, but she should know me from some channel."

"Why didn't you catch her? Because it's a slum?"

"No, because there is no evidence. The evidence should... all be in that middle-aged man's house. The two of us are not the opponents of that middle-aged man yet."

Lu Wen thought about Duan Tiannan, the middle-aged man whom he had met twice.

Suddenly, he realized that he couldn't remember what he looked like with his own memory, and had to rely on the image left by the memory chip.

This person is really too ordinary.
