from night city

Su Xiao frowned.

If River wasn't exhausted by the case, then why was he?

Also, why did he show himself the video of this case?

River's current terrible state is not like he is pretending.

He didn't go home and have a good sleep, but instead called himself out. There must be a reason for this.

River is not a random person.

So Su Xiao is waiting for River's explanation.

"My nephew, Randy, he disappeared not long ago."

Hearing River's heavy tone, Su Xiao quickly realized something.

"Your nephew's disappearance? Is it related to this criminal named Harris?"

"Yeah, I didn't know it at first, until in this video, I saw the kid in the same car with Harris, and the shoes he was wearing were my nephew Randy's."

The news mentioned that in addition to LeVar Martinez, who has unfortunately passed away, there are seven children who are still missing.

River's nephew is among the seven missing children?

No wonder River was in such a distressed state, now Su Xiao could understand.

Anyone would be very anxious if something happened to a loved one.

"The case has been handed over to Gonargar - this guy is too lazy to catch maggots, and he hasn't found anything yet."

Gonagal... Su Xiao had never heard of this name, but since River didn't like this guy, it was probably true.

However, what Su Xiao found strange was...

"They didn't give you the case? Why? Are you afraid that you can't control your emotions?"

River tapped the steering wheel impatiently: "It's more like a restraining order - I won't be allowed to touch anything."

Lidya Su understood.

Because the superiors did not allow River to investigate Harris's case, he asked Su Xiao to come over.

Think about it, even a case like the death of the mayor, which has nothing to do with him, he wants to get to the bottom of it.

Now Harris's matter is related to his nephew, and even though Harris has been arrested, his nephew's life and death are still unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown.

How could he not be in a hurry?

That’s why I hope Lidya Su can help him, just like last time.

Su Xiao was willing to help River without any hesitation.

River is one of the few good police detectives in the city, and Su Xiao is happy to help him, even if there is no reward.

It’s just that Su Xiao didn’t know how River planned to help him.

Harris, who was suspected of abducting River's nephew, has been arrested by NCPD.

Now he is lying in a hospital guarded by police officers.

As mentioned in the news just now, Harris has not yet woken up from his coma.

Could it be that River's purpose in calling him here was to sneak into the hospital with him and dig out information about the missing children from Harris' electronic brain?

"No, that's not the case. In fact, they have already seen Harris's brain. They don't know why. Harris's electronic brain is no different from a computer that is about to be scrapped. The data is complicated and the information is confusing."

"Even the hackers in the bureau don't dare to go deep into his electronic brain. For example, his electronic brain is like a shaky and dangerous house. If it is touched casually, it may collapse completely."

"So, I have another way, maybe I can find clues, which is to check his dreams."

Su Xiao suspected that River was wrong.

"What, a dream?"

"Let's go, I'll explain it to you in detail on the way."

River got out of the car and walked on the sidewalk with Su Xiao.

In the evening, there were not many pedestrians on the streets, and the vehicles on the road began to turn on their lights. The light signs that flashed 24 hours a day projected a colorful psychedelic light on the passers-by.

"This technology is still in the experimental stage, but it has already achieved initial results. They will record dreams.

environment, and then use Mewtwo to replay it. "

Lidya Su understood it as soon as she heard it.

This method is quite good. Compared with directly entering the target's electronic brain, recording dreams is much gentler.

The only problem is that I don’t know if this technology can induce dreams in the target.

If not, that's a bit troublesome.

After all, not everyone dreams when they sleep.

Glancing at River who was walking forward unswervingly, Su Xiao said thoughtfully: "So, are we going to get these dreams now?"

"Yes, they are all placed in the laboratory we are going to now."

River led the way, and Su Xiao followed him, walking across the zebra crossing and walking less than 200 meters before arriving in front of an NCPD building facing the street.

After taking a look at the NCPD laboratory written on it, Su Xiao knew this was the destination.

No wonder River asked him to meet nearby, eliminating the need to rush over.

Standing outside the gate, Su Xiao waited for River to open the door.

As a result, River unexpectedly said.

“It’s impossible to enter through the gate.”

Su Xiao said in surprise: "What? Aren't you also a detective of the NCPD? Just swipe your work badge and you can go in?"

River said matter-of-factly: "As I said before, I won't be allowed to touch the border, so my work badge is useless... Su, what's your expression?"

Lidya Su’s eyelids twitched.

"If we can't get in through the front door, and your badge doesn't work...River, do you know you're doing something illegal?"

"This is not called breaking the law, this is called handling cases flexibly. If you have worked in the NCPD, you will know that for many things, nothing can be accomplished by sticking to strict rules."

"On this point, I reserve my opinion."

River wanted to intervene in this case for the sake of his nephew, which Su Xiao could understand.

If someone he cared about disappeared, of course he would do the same thing as River and do things around the rules.

But what Su Xiao didn't expect was that River wouldn't even let him in.

What did he do to be ostracized like this?

Lidya Su had a vague premonition that was not good.

But he didn't say anything.

If River didn't want to mention it, there was no need for him to get to the bottom of it.

In Night City, everyone has their own secrets, that's normal.

River didn't know what Su Xiao was thinking, but seeing Su Xiao's silence, River thought Su Xiao was angry, so he apologized.

"I'm really sorry, Su, find another way to get in, and evacuate as soon as you find it. I have never been to this place, so I have to trouble professionals like you."

Su Xiao nodded, turned on the scanning of the tactical eyepiece, and soon discovered that there was more to the NCPD laboratory than just the entrance door.

After confirming, he waved to River.

"follow me."

River was still leading the way just now, but this time it was Su Xiao who walked in front.

He led River in a circle and came to the alley next to the building.

There is a side door here, and if it can be opened, it will undoubtedly be possible to enter.

But after River stepped forward and pushed it, he found, as expected, that the side door was locked.

In desperation, River could only look at Su Xiao with expectant eyes: "It seems that we can only open the door by hacking in. Su, how are your hacking skills?"

"Don't look at me. I don't know how to hack. If you had said earlier that we needed an electronic warfare expert, I would have brought my friend here."

River scratched his head.

"Does your friend live far from here? How long will it take for her to get here?"

"Don't think about it, it will definitely be too late. Besides, if it really doesn't work, there is still a place you can go in."

Su Xiao took River ten meters further, climbed over the wall with the help of a trash can placed on the ground, and came to the back of the laboratory.

It is also a parking space for employees.

River was stunned.

"It turns out you can enter from here."

The two climbed up the fire stairs, opened the window, and finally entered the laboratory.

"Finally we're in." River swaggered at the front, "They are doing an audit today and there is no one around. It doesn't matter if they make some noise."

Su Xiao asked strangely: "How do you know about the audit?"

It was obviously River's first time to come to the laboratory, but he knew that the people in the laboratory were doing an audit today, and no one was there...

He deliberately avoided everyone coming in. Although he said that his superiors would not allow him to touch the case, was it too...

"I did my homework."

"Okay," Su Xiao decided not to dwell on this, "then do you know where the dreams he had are placed?"

From the outside, this NCPD laboratory is not small.

If you have to go from room to room, you will be exhausted.

"Probably in the Mewtwo editing room for autistic children, it says Anthony Harris."

River's words were as good as unsaid.
