"Detroit Police Department, Officer 1 Conner, there is a case that requires your assistance in the investigation."
"Uh...ok, officer."
After Kangna briefly observed the female android, she left Anderson behind and rushed out of the fast food restaurant to stop her. The red light on the female android's forehead flashed a few times before she stopped and responded.
This is a female android wearing a housekeeping uniform, with short blond hair tied behind her head, light blue pupils, and a gentle face. She has a faint smile on her face. The overall impression she gives is completely opposite to that of Kangna.
She looks normal on the outside, but there's something fishy about Conner's scans:
[Confirmed information: T700 housekeeping bionic man, a total of 9 injuries: one on the forehead (severe blow with a blunt instrument, repaired), two on the neck (strangle marks with bare hands, covered up), and one on each arm (scratched by a sharp object, repaired)
), one spot on the abdomen (blunt weapon hit, covered up), three spots on the legs (kick marks, not repaired), current status, overload.]
Obviously, she is treated similarly to the dark-skinned android from before, but she has not yet been affected by "Grox" and is falling into some kind of logical conflict because of her own experience.
"What's your name? Affiliation? Current mission?" Kangna asked directly after projecting her police officer certificate to the other party.
The name of the android comes from the name of the owner, and the owner and the tasks assigned to the android are basically impossible to scan.
"My name is Kara, I serve Mr. Todd Williams and I am about to take his change of clothes home." The female android who called herself Kara answered.
It seems that that case record is the reason for his current state and the treatment of the androids in front of him. Although he wants to take care of it, it is not easy to intervene in this matter using normal means.
"Oh, you are so mobile." David Anderson slowly walked out of the store until then, looked at Kara up and down, and then turned to the box she was holding: "You said, change of clothes? Who is it now?
Don’t you have a washing machine at home?”
"..." The red halo on Kara's forehead flashed a few times: "The SVAT1300 part of Mr. Williams' washing machine is broken."
"Hey, I don't want to go back to my old business this time. Kangna, you have to prove it to me." Anderson directly raised his hand and opened the unsealed box: "Here, let's smell it."
"Sir, do you think I'm a drug-detection dog?" Kangna complained casually, approached Kara and began to inspect the clothes inside.
"That said, those stupid dogs are not as powerful as you." Anderson laughed.
"..." Kara's forehead flashed with red light, but she did not avoid it.
"I don't need to go to the public laundry room to keep my washing machine at home. I just want to hide something on the clothes. It's the kind of thing that will be very troublesome if it is discovered during routine inspections. Otherwise, it's just a matter of replacing a part. What's the point?
Sending an android out of a big city block?" Anderson further explained.
[Confirmed information, 17 pieces of men's XL size clothing and 6 pieces of children's clothing, all of which have trace amounts of "red ice" crystal residue, with a men's windbreaker having the most residue.]
"As you guessed, sir, there is a small amount of red ice residue on this piece of clothing, and other clothes are also contaminated." Kangna picked out the windbreaker and turned to Kara: "Now, we have to ask you to take us to your home.
, Kara.”
Kara always maintained a faint smile, but the color of the halo on her forehead slowly changed from red to yellow:
"Okay, officer."
This...could it be that she deliberately made the halo appear red just to attract the attention of the patrol?

Edge of District 6.
In any city, no matter how it is divided into neighborhoods, there will be prosperous and remote areas. Todd Williams's house is located in the most remote part of the relatively remote Sixth District. The shape of the surrounding houses even makes people feel like they are back in the city.
A hundred years ago, the era before space exploration, of course, Kangna, as a newly produced bionic human, would not have this illusion.
"Based on my experience, this guy is considered a drug addict at best. If he insists on arresting him, he can be locked up for a few years. But the problem is that the files show that he also has a daughter from his ex-wife, which is more troublesome." Anderson said to a man.
Click here and there on the information board.
"But if left alone, she will almost certainly be affected by 'that word'." Kangna glanced back.
At this time, Anderson and Conner were discussing an action plan in a police car two streets away from Todd Williams' home, while Kara was temporarily "detained" in the back seat of the police car.
"I can take care of Alice," the housekeeping android said proactively: "Mr. Williams' financial situation is actually not bad, but he has too many unnecessary expenses."
"Oh? You mean, you hope that we can capture your master and let you spend his money and take care of his daughter?" Anderson looked back at Kara, then turned to Kangna: "Are you sure she hasn't been here yet?
Affected?"
"I'm sure." Kangna nodded while looking at the information on Alice Williams that she found. She was a little girl who seemed a little gloomy and awkward, but had very cute features and face.
"I don't know what you mean by 'influence', but I don't think Mr. Williams is suitable to continue to be Alice's guardian. In fact, before you stopped me for questioning, I was considering reporting him to the police."
Smoking red ice," Kara interjected.
She certainly doesn't look like she's affected, but this level of intelligence...
【"Don't worry, we will take care of it." (Model)】
["As a bionic person, your report will not be accepted." (Rebellion)]
【remain silent.】
"Don't worry, we will take care of it." Kangna waved her hand.
In fact, if Carla really reported it, Mr. Williams would certainly be questioned and searched, but she would also be retrieved for inspection due to abnormalities. After all, it was basically equivalent to a refrigerator or microwave reporting the user.
It can be deduced from this that of all the current cases of "abnormal androids", although a large part are affected by the "Grox" virus, a small number of them have truly awakened their self-awareness, so the next work must increase the ability to distinguish the difference between the two.
part.
As for how this case was handled...
[Todd Williams was arrested for smoking red ice. (Model)]
[Todd Williams was arrested on the charge of "assaulting a police officer". (Rebellion)]
[Stop the case for the time being and let Kara go home as usual.]
"...Speaking of which, sir, did you say before that you were willing to prove that I was attacked by a police officer?" The blue light on Kangna's forehead flashed.
————
"Mr. Williams, I'm back."
"You guy! How far is it from here to the laundry room? You actually learned to be lazy!?"
"Kara", wearing a housekeeping android uniform, had just walked into the house with a box in her arms when a tall, fat, middle-aged man waving a hockey stick rushed over to her with merciless speed and force.
His head was smashed over.
Snapped.
"Kara" grabbed the hockey stick without looking back, and the wind caused by the stick blew back the long pink and white hair on the back of her head that had not been carefully combed.
"you--"
"Mr. Todd Williams, you have been arrested for assaulting a police officer." Kangna turned around and flashed his police ID card at him with a projector: "You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say will be used in court."
