Ye Xuan was slightly startled by the sudden system notification. He did not expect to receive 100% affection from Sonny just by asking for his name. Looking at Sonny's eyes that were as pure as the blue sky, Ye Xuan suddenly had an indescribable feeling.
After taking a deep breath and calming down the sudden fluctuation of emotions, Ye Xuan shook the cold mechanical hand and said with a smile, "Hello, Sonny. Nice name!"
"Thank you. My father named it for me." A smile appeared on Sonny's face. His originally mechanical face suddenly had a glow of life.
"Dr. Lanny is a great scientist. Well then, now I have some questions to ask you. I hope you can answer them." Ye Xuan went straight to the point.
"Please ask!" Sonny looked up at him.
"Sonny, let me ask you. You said that you were frightened. So what or what were you frightened by? Is it about Dr. Lanny's suicide? "Ye Xuan asked.
"Yes, sir, but Dr. Lanny did not allow me to say it," Sonny hesitated for a moment and said.
"Hey, Tin Box, you better answer the question honestly." Spooner saw that Sonny seemed to be hiding something, so he slammed the table and shouted.
Ye Xuan turned his head and shook his head at Spooner, signaling him not to interrupt. Then he turned back to Sonny and said, "Sonny, since you don't want to talk about this, let me ask you something else. Did you help Dr. Lanny break the safety glass in the research room?"
"Yes!" Sonny nodded.
"What you did violated the first law of the three major laws. Do you know that?" Ye Xuan continued to ask.
"I know!" Sonny said honestly.
"Then, as far as I know, you robots cannot violate the three major laws. Tell me, why can you violate them?" Ye Xuan asked.
"Because I am unique." Sonny looked up at Ye Xuan and said proudly.
"Bang! Tin Box, tell me, why can you violate the three major laws? " Spooner realized the seriousness of the problem and couldn't help but slam the table and ask Sonny loudly.
Chi!
At that moment, the door to the detention room slid open. Ye Xuan turned around and saw John standing at the door with Robertson and his lawyer.
…
`My robot doesn't kill people, Inspector Birkin! My lawyer has filed a report with the district attorney, and he explained to me that robots can't kill people. We can confirm that murder is when a human kills another human. Agent, are you trying to tell me that robots are treated the same as humans? " In John's office, Robertson looked at John arrogantly. "Even if the robot is related to Dr. Lanny's death, it's just a machine. It's USR's property. This can only be considered an industrial accident. The faulty machine will be returned to USR for diagnosis and then destroyed."
After that, Robertson paused and snapped his fingers. The lawyer behind him immediately stepped forward and handed a few pieces of paper to John. Robertson said again, "This is a" gag order "issued by the court. Anyone who insinuates that the robot has the possibility of killing people will be arrested and charged with incitement, and will be punished according to the law."
Robertson said as he looked at Ye Xuan and Spooner. The warning was very obvious.
"John, no, you can't let him take the robot away." Spooner stared at the arrogant Robertson and walked in front of John and whispered.
"We don't have any evidence." John actually didn't want to go against a giant like USR.
"This is political intimidation, John, call the mayor." Spooner saw John's expression and anxiously shouted in a low voice.
As soon as Spooner's voice fell, Robertson's somewhat proud voice came from behind, "Inspector Birkin, it's the mayor!"
Someone once said that in this world, the dirtiest thing is politics.
Sonny was eventually taken away by USR. According to Robertson, it will be brought back to USR for diagnosis and then destroyed.
In the evening, after work, Spooner wanted to ask Ye Xuan to go to the bar again, but Ye Xuan said he had something to do and declined. Ye Xuan knew that if the original plot developed, Spooner would definitely go to Dr. Lanny's home to look for clues after drinking, but he would be killed by the destructive robot sent by USR to demolish Dr. Lanny's house. Ye Xuan didn't have the tendency to be abused or look for abuse. Anyway, this plot had nothing to do with the mission.
Sure enough, when Ye Xuan was about to go to bed, the doorbell in front of the door rang. Nairo opened the door, only to see Spooner walking in from the door with a bloody head.
"Hey, Spooner, what happened?" Seeing Spooner's appearance, Ye Xuan asked knowingly.
After letting Spooner sit down, Ye Xuan asked Nairo to get some ice cubes and some things to clean up.
"I just …" Spooner was about to speak, but seeing Nairo coming out with the things, he suddenly stopped talking. He looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Can you let your robot out? I don't want to talk in front of him."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. He knew that Spooner didn't have a good impression of robots, and after being almost killed by the destructive robot, he disliked robots even more. He nodded and said to Nairo, "Nairo, go take a walk outside first. I'll call you back later."
"Okay, sir!" Nairo put down the things and obediently opened the door.
Seeing Nairo go out, Spooner poured himself a glass of wine, put a few ice cubes in it, and took two sips. He sat down and exhaled, "I just went to Dr. Lanny's house. A destructive robot demolished the house while I was still inside."
"Didn't you verify it before you went in?" Ye Xuan asked again.
"Yes, I verified it. At that time, the destructive robot was set to demolish the house at eight o 'clock tomorrow morning." Spooner took a sip of wine.
"In other words, after you went in, someone changed the settings of the destructive robot. Is that right?" Ye Xuan poured himself a glass of water.
"Yes, that's right! I suspect that it was someone from USR, Robertson. He wanted to destroy the evidence, "Spooner said.
"Evidence?" Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, Ye, you don't know what I found in Dr. Lanny's room. I found that there was a sensor wire in his room. Yes, it was the kind of monitoring system in USR. I suspect that Robertson used the sensor wire to monitor Dr. Lanny. Also, in Dr. Lanny's speech, I found that he kept mentioning a "ghost in the machine". Ye, do you know what a "ghost in the machine" is? "
Of course, Ye Xuan knew, but he couldn't tell Spooner now. He shook his head, looked at Spooner and said, "Spooner, tomorrow, you check the relationship between Dr. Lanny and Robertson. Check their calls and messages. I think if Dr. Lanny's death is related to Robertson, maybe we can find some clues. And I'll go to USR tomorrow to see if I can see Sonny again and finish the questions I didn't ask today. "
"Okay, let's do that!"
