After Calvin entered, the spherical robot locked the console and standing area so that he could not change his route at will. It flashed the warning light and flew all the way to the waiting area in the entrance hall. He stood there blankly, looking at the aircraft in the sky, distracted, as if he suddenly lost the direction of the future.
In the upper pass area of the Star Ring, there happened to be a team of police officers preparing to go on a mission, fully armed and righteous. Standing below, Calvin could only look up, looking up to a height he had never reached before. The transparent top of the upper floor reflected his envious eyes...
Calvin lowered his head and saw through the guardrail the functional units of different colors underground. The Evidence and Archives Department where he worked had a white theme and was isolated from other departments by protective walls. Calvin stared at the wall, feeling like there was an invisible sword cutting his self-esteem hard all the time.
Recalling what Bridge said just now, my heart was filled with dissatisfaction. "I want to prove to everyone that I, Calvin, am a qualified policeman, no worse than my father! No, I will become better than him!"
His eyes changed from envy to determination. He got on another guidance robot and headed deeper into the building. He soon stopped in front of the pure white hall of the Evidence and Archives Department. Calvin gathered his mood, passed the identity authentication, and walked in. Inside the door.
Calvin is very familiar with the environment here, having spent more than 90% of his career here. The entrance is facing a five-pointed star-shaped search area, and behind it is a huge circular archive. The 26 protruding light pillars emit soft white light, corresponding to the English letters from A to Z in order. At the same time, the keyword information of the file is also floating in the light column according to comprehensive factors such as "frequency of occurrence" and "number of citations".
Calvin walked directly to the five-pointed star search area in the center of the space, entered his police number, and activated the search function. The firm eyes gradually became erratic, and his mind began to fantasize uncontrollably: he successfully solved the serial disappearance case, made achievements that convinced everyone, slapped Director Bridge in the face hard, and made him buried. I regret being such a genius... As I thought about it, a confused smile appeared at the corner of my mouth.
The sound of the search area alerted Calvin to focus again. Looking at the cursor jumping on the screen, he entered Monk Bryan's name. All associated file information in the system is displayed in a circle of virtual rings, with a total of 35.
Calvin browsed the electronic documents suspended in the ring at will, and the content keywords kept switching in front of his eyes. He clicked on the latest file file, which was updated on August 26, two days ago. The file details are labeled "Suspicious Behavior."
The determination of "suspicious behavior" is an early warning mechanism developed by the City Security Bureau. If a person appears in the same area three or more times in a row and repeats actions that have nothing to do with daily life, a suspicious behavior determination will be triggered. This determination will automatically be entered into the person's social behavior file and submitted to artificial intelligence as appropriate. Review. But more often than not, "suspicious behavior" is just a reference document for the police and is not important.
Calvin clicked to see the details of the content. It contained a behavioral analysis. Starting from the unveiling ceremony of the Memorial Monument on August 26, 2072, Munch would go to the Memorial Monument and spend a long time in a daze on August 26 every year. This year No exception.
Using the eye-tracking system in the square, Munch's gaze analysis revealed that his focus remained on the photo of Anthony Garcia. "What does this mean? They are all useless program functions, a waste of Tozcana City's financial funds!" He glanced at his mouth and closed the document.
Suddenly, he saw a name with a blue star, Ginger Anderson. Stars are City Safety's simple marking of key populations to facilitate different response procedures.
Simply divided into three categories: First, he/she has made special contributions to the city of Tozcana that are recognized by the city management committee. Marked with a red star. 2. Those who belong to groups that need special attention, including government officials or their families, special scientific research and technical personnel, etc., are marked with a blue star. Third, those with assets exceeding 30 million are marked with a yellow star.
Ginger Anderson, the second wife of Sammy Anderson, the supreme ruler of Tozcana, falls into the latter category.
"How come they have intersection?" Calvin put his finger on the tip of his nose and opened the file in confusion. Inside is a police record from the fifth duty team of the City Security Bureau. The original text is as follows (partial excerpts):
Time: 15:39:28 on May 29, 2073. Location: Perrotin Avenue, at the entrance of Saint-Marie Forest Park. Caller: Ginger Anderson (blue star character)
Contents of the alarm: ...Ginger reported to the police that the gold ring on his finger, the obsidian powder ornament on his arm, and the gem necklace on his neck had been stolen. The designated suspect was a white Bellington holding a hand. A young man of about 20 years old... (The caller spoke in a stern tone, constantly emphasizing her special status, and her sharp screams even shattered the radio equipment. Her voice was really unpleasant.)
Seeing this, Calvin couldn't help but laugh. The content in brackets was obviously the psychological activities of the robot recorder at that time. Due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence, humans have developed some new rules based on the original three laws of robots. Known as the Supplementary Laws of Robots, the first of which is: Official robots must not have the right to privacy under any premise, and their psychological activities must be completely transparent to their first service recipients.
As the manager of the archives, Calvin can naturally see the inner monologue of the robot recorder. "This complaint is too common. It seems that the designers of this program are not very interesting. They are probably a bunch of elderly antiques."
Handling method: ...45 seconds after receiving the alarm, the police patrol aircraft immediately arrived at the scene and found all the stolen items in the boxwood bushes 68 meters away from the caller. Three minutes and 18 seconds later, nearby human police arrived. After investigating the scene and the suspect, it was found that the suspect did not have the theoretical distance to commit the crime, and there were no traces of pulling or contact on the person who reported the crime, nor were any physiological elements matching the suspect found... The subsequent half-hour From hour to hour, I was comforting Ginger who was crying...
Calvin scrolled down to the video attachment. After clicking play, Munch appears first with her dog, and a few seconds later, Ginger enters the scene with her teddy. The two dogs gave each other a friendly sniff.
Seeing this, Ginger quickly hugged Teddy in her arms, "Huh, anyone can really keep a pet now, and you don't know where to choose the right place to walk your dog. Is this kind of rich area where you should come?" "The sharp sound caused Calvin physical discomfort.
Munch ignored her, pulled the dog forward, and disappeared from the screen. Twenty seconds later, the command center received Ginger's alarm call.
"Twenty seconds before and after, is it a coincidence? But there is indeed a physical distance of two or three meters between Munch and her. If it was really him, how did he do it?" Although Calvin hated Ginger's behavior, he I wanted to prove myself even more, so I kept switching the camera lens, looking for the best angle, and played the twenty-second clip over and over again.
From all angles, there seems to be nothing unusual. "Wait, what is that?" In the picture shot from the front in the direction Munch left, a rich shade of trees covered Ginger's body. In the mottled shade of the trees, there seemed to be an unusual black color, which was fleeting. .
Calvin kept enlarging the picture until it reached the limit of accuracy, but still couldn't see it clearly. "This black seems to extend from Munch's feet?"
Just as Calvin was studying carefully, the light beam in front of the archives suddenly flashed continuously. A large number of garbled words appeared in the keywords switched in the light beam. A prompt came from the ring ceiling above: "Affected by the radiation from the parasitic tower, the building suddenly appeared. Please do not panic due to stamping phenomenon, the flashing will disappear after 30 seconds."
"Hey, this is the third time this month. Can the logistics department check it carefully and push it to the parasitic tower if there is any problem? This is obviously because the equipment maintenance is not done properly." Calvin muttered in a low voice. At this time, the five-pointed star in the search area also flashed at the same frequency as the light beam. He inadvertently raised his head and glanced, and the total number of files in the column became 36.
"One more?" Calvin quickly browsed around and found that the newly added files did not have any keywords or any classification attributes. He only saw the name of the file: TS-010628. Before he could click on it, the flashing at the same frequency stopped.
Everything returned to normal, and the total number of files returned to 35.
At this time, Calvin could not regain peace of mind. Having worked with files all year round, he knows what starting with TS-01 means: zero-level confidentiality. In the entire city security bureau, there is only one person with viewing rights, and that is Director Bridge. And 0628 is the police number of his father, Donnie Young. Top-secret files on my father, linked to Monk Bryan?
Calvin stood blankly in front of the search area, holding his hands against the console and holding his forehead. "It should be an instant stamping, which destroyed the stability of the system and allowed deeply hidden files to enter the counting system as statistical units. So only the correlation will be displayed." The total number cannot show any specific content. Although the possibility of such an unexpected situation happening is only one in 100,000.
Another coincidence? But the probability is that you can't lie. For Calvin to discover this document, several prerequisites must be met.
One, he was in the search area of the Evidence Archives Section and happened to be searching Munch's files. Second, instantaneous stamping occurred during the search, and the fault caused coincided with the above guess. Three, Calvin can notice changes in numbers. The above conditions are superimposed, and the existence of top secret files can be exposed.
This is no simple coincidence. Thinking of this, the hairs all over Calvin's body stood up, and bursts of cold sweat soaked his back. Looking around, I feel like there are invisible eyes all around.
Calvin cleared the search records and hurried out of the door of the Evidence Archives Department. Along the way, Calvin's heart beat rapidly and his mind was in chaos.
"Is that file really related to my father? Does it hide the secret of his sacrifice? What is hidden in Monk Bryan? Who is behind all this? What is the content of that file? The most important thing Yes, why choose me?" A series of questions eroded his brain, and he was no longer able to think.
Standing in the long corridor outside the door, haloes of different colors filled the dark space. Calvin straightened the police badge on his chest and walked towards the weapons and equipment area with complicated eyes...
At the same time, Bridge Payton's arm implant received the latest encrypted message from the Parasitic Tower Monitoring Committee, which was a description of the instantaneous stamping phenomenon. The description read:
"... It is currently judged that the cause of the failure is not radiation from the parasitic tower, but an unknown overclocked radio wave. The source is yet to be investigated, and it is speculated that it may come from space outside the upper domain."
