Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City - #534 - Chapter 532 “Turing Test”

The peaceful days continue and everything seems to be heading towards a better future.

The time came to half past six, and Li Lin and Caitlin had just gotten up and were preparing to go for morning exercise.

Zoe left as early as last night. This girl doesn’t like to sleep and will always drag her away to other places afterward.

Most of the time, Caitlin would not interfere with them, but Li Lin had promised her last night that he would train in fighting skills this morning, so he did not leave with Zoe.

In fact, with their current physical fitness, there is no need to do such “meaningless” things anymore.

Just adhering to her good habits from the past, whenever Li Lin had nothing to do at home, Caitlin would take him to practice fighting skills.

But this morning, Caitlin had just put on her tight training clothes when she received a call from the Piltover police officer on duty, who needed her for interrogation.

But when she was about to ask for some details, the signal on the other end of the phone suddenly lost.

Caitlin looked confused, “Strange…”

Li Lin hugged her slender waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and gently rubbed her face, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s the law enforcement officer on night shift.” Caitlin said, “He said that there was a criminal who refused to cooperate and asked me to interrogate him, but he didn’t reveal any more details… Although I am the police chief now and have the right to know the police station’s information. It’s a matter of course, but it doesn’t comply with the rules and procedures.”

“Maybe it’s an emergency?”

Li Lin retracted his hand around her slender waist and patted Caitlin lightly. She rolled her eyes and said, “Don’t make trouble.”

Then, she pursed her lips and sighed, “Let’s cancel our training today, I’m sorry…”

“What’s there to apologize for? Business is more important.” Li Lin raised his eyebrows and smiled, “So do you need my help? When you encounter a tough-talking guy, my Veritaserum is very ‘curative’.”

“I’ve always felt that your stuff is unethical.”

“They are all criminals. They don’t even care about the law. Why do you ask them about morality?”

As he said that, Li Lin patted Caitlin at the same spot, causing her face to blush, and she slapped him on his “slutty hand”.

“Stop making trouble, or I’ll get angry!” She took a deep breath, calmed her pounding heart, and continued: “To be precise, before the other party’s guilt is confirmed, he can only be punished. Defined as a suspect, this is your city now, and you don’t want to get a bad rap from the public that you’ve been beaten into submission, right?”

“I don’t care. Anyway, there is a saying in Ionia: ‘If you don’t do anything bad, you won’t be afraid of Azakana coming to your door.’ Although this is biased, I think most people will still support me.”

Caitlin couldn’t tell him off, “Humph, you’re the only one with a poor mouth.”

“What I’m telling you is the truth.” The smile disappeared from Li Lin’s face and he raised his eyebrows at her. “Anyway, I have nothing to do today. I’ll go to Pi City with you to guard the place. I haven’t been there for a long time.”

“What? Is this the leader going to inspect?” Caitlin’s clothes have been transformed into future armor.

“I want to take advantage of someone’s rest…”

“…”

Before Li Lin finished speaking, Caitlin’s azure eyes turned dangerous on her face, which wasn’t even covered by her upper armor.

“Hiss—don’t pinch my waist!”

…

…

After a while, the two of them teleported to the Stellar Avenue together and arrived in front of the Piltover security gate.

It’s still early before work, and there is almost no one on the main road. The security gate of Piltover is ajar, and the civilian staff in the duty room at the door are dozing off.

The on-duty officer who had called just now disappeared somewhere. When he learned that the police chief had arrived, another law enforcement officer took the two of them to the interrogation room.

Opposite the one-way glass, a middle-aged man was handcuffed to an interrogation chair. His short and medium-length gray and black hair was slightly messy. His hands shackled by the forbidden magic stone covered his lowered face, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

The clothes on my body are quite old, like they were from two years ago. My family may not be very rich…

Caitlin quickly looked at the middle-aged man and quickly made a judgment in her mind based on the first impression.

Of course, this apparent feeling cannot be counted in the interrogation process, because some criminals are best at disguising.

“What did he commit?” Caitlin asked the law enforcement officer next to her without moving her eyes.

“This…” the law enforcement officer scratched his head and glanced at the man next to the police chief with some embarrassment, “This is a criminal sent by Chairman Li’s mechanical engineers. Zhinao did not clarify his information with us.”

[This gentleman’s information is not registered, but his genetic sequence test matches that of a fugitive Black Rose fugitive from Noxus. 】

As soon as the police officer finished speaking, Zhinao showed his genderless “personalized” facial projection next to them and spoke.

“Is there any match? With Li Lin’s genetic technology and your computing power, there shouldn’t be such uncertain factors, right?” Caitlin questioned, Zhinao was silent for an instant, and the avatar disappeared.

She frowned slightly and looked at Li Lin with doubtful eyes as if nothing happened. She seemed to be aware of something.

“What’s going on…you don’t want to use me to test something, do you?” Caitlin thought thoughtfully, “I remember that you often ran to the academy recently, and talked with Professor Heimerdinger and Jace. Victor is studying something.”

“Hey, you are the police chief. You have to provide evidence when you speak! Otherwise, I will sue you for defamation.”

“Hey, you guy…”

The police officer on the side was obedient, bowing his head in embarrassment and not daring to speak, pretending that he didn’t hear anything.

Her immediate boss was “flirting” with her own man who was now the Speaker of the entire Piltover and rumored to be more likely to be the man behind the Twin Cities. He didn’t dare to interrupt at this time.

Caitlin noticed the police officer’s embarrassment, glared at Li Lin, and hummed: “I’ll settle the score with you later!”

Then, she opened the door and walked into the interrogation room, walked straight to the interrogation table opposite the interrogation chair, crossed her arms and crossed her chest, leaning lightly on the table.

At the same time, hearing the sound of hard-soled boots touching the ground, the middle-aged man’s sad face left his hands and looked at the young and beautiful woman in front of him.

The man’s appearance is indeed a bit rugged and Noxian, with a thick beard, skin that seems to have been exposed to wind and sun, and has been marked by time. He is wearing Piltover clothes. At first glance, Clearly out of place.

“I am Caitlin Gilaman, the captain of the Piltover Police. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will become evidence in court.”

Caitlin paused for two seconds, giving the man some time to think, and then said, “I heard that you were arrested because you resembled the fugitive from the Black Rose of Noxus?”

“This is all a misunderstanding, Miss Gila Mann…” The man obviously knew Caitlin.

“This is the police station, please call me Chief.”

“I’m sorry, Chief Gila Mann…” The man cried sadly and was so anxious that he couldn’t speak. “I, I’m not a criminal!”

“Every guy who gets caught will say this, but in the past two years we have had artificial intelligence systems, and few people have been misunderstood.”

Seeing the man becoming more and more excited, Caitlin gave him a gentle smile and changed her rhetoric: “Okay, I was just joking. We all make mistakes sometimes, and robots are no exception.”

She stood up straight and walked around the anxious man, “If you are willing to cooperate with me, I will investigate the results and restore your innocence… Since you know me, you must have heard of me handling cases. name.”

“Thank you, thank you so much, Chief Gila Mann!”

Caitlin returned to the interrogation table, clicked the power button in front of the projector, then called up the brain’s recording system, and looked at the man again.

“Name, age?”

“David, David Black, I’m 47 years old, Mr. Sheriff.”

“Where do you live? What is your job?”

“Well, it started at No. 121A, Alchemy Workshop Street, in the lower city area of ​​the middle-level square in the lower city. I was a handyman there at first. Later, Chairman Li advocated the comprehensive replacement of alchemy technology, so I was assigned to the south city area in the upper city, where I worked at a dock robot Work in a manufacturing plant.” David answered truthfully.

“How long have you been working?”

“This question…” David hesitated and thought for a few seconds, “It should have been at the dock robot manufacturing factory for more than a year, and at the alchemy workshop in the lower city… If I remember correctly, it has been around for 5 years. .”

“Aren’t you from the Twin Cities?”

“How should I put it? I fled to the Twin Cities.” David sighed, “I originally lived in the southern plains of the mountains on the east side of the magnificent barrier of Noxus. A few years ago, the mediocre Emperor Darkwill set off a War on multiple fronts, conscription across the country, in order to avoid military service…”

He didn’t finish the sentence, but needless to say, Caitlin knew what happened next.

“I heard, don’t all Noxians value strength?” She asked casually, “If you participate in the war, you may be promoted to an official position, and there is no need to work to make a living like you do today.”

“Not every Noxian is a barbaric believer in war. Who would sacrifice their life for that stupid and incompetent emperor!”

David’s tone suddenly became excited, “Back then, the iron hoof of Noxus conquered my country, and my family members were hit and died by the stones thrown by the catapults, and they didn’t even say sorry!

“It is clearly the king who insists on resisting. It has nothing to do with us ordinary people. We did not resist Noxus and even welcomed this powerful country to replace our equally decadent royal regime. But I cannot accept this result!”

His eyes were red, and there were faint tears, and he was helpless.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have mentioned this.” Caitlin apologized, her tone slowing down a bit.

“It’s been more than twenty years, it’s all gone.” David sniffed and smiled bitterly, “I have already passed my prime. I want to spend the rest of my life smoothly, but I don’t want to be the one Darkwill puts on the battlefield. cannon fodder.”

Caitlin was silent for a moment, reflecting the interface of the projection screen in her eyes. Then she turned slightly and shifted her gaze to David again. She said doubtfully: “According to you, since you have been in the Twin Cities for many years, you should know what’s going on here.” Variety.

“Over the years, before Speaker Lee took office, Congressmen Gila Mann and Myrdalda began advocating that all citizens go to the law enforcement offices in Piltover or Zaun to register their personal network information.

“After Chairman Li took office, he stepped up efforts to implement it in all aspects, sending mechanical engineers to go door to door to ask for registration. Why is your name not on it? Or…”

Caitlin called up an information system that could not be called up with the power of ordinary law enforcement officers, projected it in front of David, and showed it to him.

The system information clearly stated that the owner of the name “David Black” had died in the alchemy explosion planned by Renata Gorask in the Zaun trench area two years ago.

“…Is this?” David looked blank.

“Except for people from other countries, the information files of deceased people in the Twin Cities will be deleted by the system, but with the authority of the police chief, I can still investigate the personal information of some deceased people.

“There has always been only one named David Black in the Twin Cities. His native place is Noxus. There is no other person with the same name and surname. He happens to be a visitor from Noxus. Unfortunately, your name is on On the death list.”

Caitlin changed the topic and her tone became cold, “I remember that Black Rose happens to have a magic called ‘Trick’, which can transform into other people’s appearance.

“Next time I pretend to be an ordinary person to escape capture, can you, Black Rose, trouble you by disguising yourself as a person with identity information from the Twin Cities?”

“This… this, this, this is impossible!” David was stunned and immediately shouted: “I didn’t die in that accident! And later on, I went to the Law Enforcement Agency to register my personal information normally!”

“Unfortunately, I have compiled employee rosters for several wharf robot manufacturing plants in Nancheng District, but your name is not included in them.”

“I’m… in the factory under Speaker Li’s name! The name, the name is… it’s called Future Pioneer Factory. It used to be the former member of Parliament’s family, Voslaton, who made steam ship mechanical parts!”

As David said, Caitlin switched the screen and projected the arsenal employee roster interface he mentioned in front of him.

As each name passed by before his eyes, David’s face became paler and paler, until the last name disappeared. He panicked and explained: “No, no, no…there must be something wrong with this!”

Before Caitlin could continue the interrogation, there was a soft knock on the door leading to the monitoring room on the other side of the one-way glass, and Li Lin walked in.

“Why are you here? Get out quickly.” Caitlin stood up immediately and said with dissatisfaction: “Even if you are the Speaker, you cannot break into the interrogation room during the interrogation. This is against the rules.”

As soon as he saw Li Lin, David seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and immediately shouted with a cry: “Li Lin… Speaker Li, you must help me prove my innocence! I…”

Li Lin just waved his hand, stared straight at the crying middle-aged man, and asked an inexplicable question: “Can you play chess or chess?”

Jianqi is a chess game popular in Noxus and Demacia, while chess is a chess and card game brought to the world by Li Lin and is popular in the Twin Cities.

Not only David, but also Caitlin looked confused, not expecting that he would ask such a question.

“Don’t make trouble for me…”

Before Caitlin could finish her words, she was blocked by a look from Li Lin. She seemed to see something and poked him a few times in the air with a finger.

“You are really…sigh.”

Then, she sat back on the chair with a somewhat unhappy pout, leaving the situation to Li Lin to control.

“Can you play chess or chess?” He asked David this irrelevant question again.

“Uh… I know how to play Noxian chess. As for chess, I once watched my coworkers play it, so I know a little bit about it…”

“Can you play chess or chess?”

“Chairman Li, didn’t I answer your question just now?”

Li Lin didn’t say anything else. He still stared directly at David’s slightly cloudy gray-blue eyes and asked a repetitive question again: “Can you play chess or chess?”

David looked at Caitlin with a confused expression, “This…is this?”

She originally guessed that Li Lin was using David to test something on her, but she was confused by his question.

“That’s enough for you, what do you want to do?”

She stood up and walked to Li Lin, trying to pull him out to ask for details, but Li Lin didn’t move at all.

At this time, he changed to an even more bizarre question: “Are you human?”

Caitlin couldn’t help covering her face and sighing, while David was uncomfortable with Li Lin’s eyes and said cautiously: “What are you talking about… I am not a human. Could it be that I am a vastaya or a tauren?” What?”

“Are you human?” Li Lin said reluctantly.

“Uh…” David didn’t know what to say.

“Are you human?”

At this time, David even forgot about his current situation and couldn’t help asking with concern: “Chairman Li, are you…are you okay?”

Caitlin couldn’t bear it anymore, “That’s enough Li Lin, I’ll be angry if you do this again!”

However, Li Lin ignored her and just took a deep breath slowly, with an excited smile on his face, and said to David: “Congratulations, Bionic Robot Zero, you passed the ‘Turing Test’ we set up.”
