Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

But this morning, she received a signed divorce agreement at her bedside.

The guy was a jerk to begin with, Blakelyn had the corresponding social status, and what she gained also came at a price.

John Blakely could always be seen with various young women, with some of whom he flirted with.

After all, he is a man with strong sexual desire.

Before the incident, no matter how many conflicts they had, they never talked about divorce. Therefore, in some occasions attended by lovers together, whenever Lucy unexpectedly saw Blakelyn's suave appearance, she felt uncomfortable all over.

Every time she saw him with a petite woman on his arm, it was because he had never established a formal relationship with any other woman except Lucy.

So, Blakelyn consoled himself that this was a good thing, because it meant that Lucy was the only woman in his life.

And those disgusting frivolous sluts are just a way for him to consume the excess male hormones in his body...

However, it is difficult for you to see, and even more difficult to imagine, the loneliness and tears that she had to shed when she was alone at home with only her pet dog to keep her company.

However, I recently took over a new research project, which is to try to miniaturize mechanical joints. Not only must the weight be reduced on the original basis, but the bearing capacity of the joints must also be increased. In addition, the reliability of the original design must not be reduced.

An impolite request like this forced her to put aside all these little personal considerations.

This kind of assignment made her firm in her belief. Lucy told herself that even without Blakelyn, she could continue his work and even surpass him.

Here she had the opportunity to see everything from detailed information on small high-power drives to large steam turbines for nuclear power plants.

She felt both terrified and encouraged by the recognition of her thesis and work by her colleagues at the institute and the offer of a new research position.

She was afraid because it was her first time to participate in a major scientific research project, which was completely different from the research conducted under the guidance of a supervisor. Any slight mistake would lead to a series of problems that usually would not erupt immediately.

She was encouraged because she immediately learned that even with the most optimistic view, it would be difficult to overcome the difficulties and produce a finished product that met the requirements.

She vaguely knew that this scientific research project was directly related to the special project of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

If that is the case, then this miniaturized object will become a key influencing item.

Lucy took one last look at her ex-husband's office, walked out with her personal belongings, turned left along the wide corridor, and walked up the stairs to her parking lot.

Twenty minutes later, she locked the car door and walked back into the institute.

However, as soon as she passed through the main gate, she heard a security guard calling her.

"Doctor, you have a visitor today!"

"...Looking for me?" She pointed at herself in surprise.

The security guard said, "Yes, she claims to be your sister."

Lucy was confused, where did her sister come from.

No, if I really want to talk about my younger sister, there was one more than ten years ago, but she has fallen asleep due to illness and it is impossible for her to appear again.

Using this excuse to find her, I think the other party must have spent a lot of energy and resources.

Trying her best not to offend the other party, Lucy followed the security guard to the reception room.

When she walked into the house, Lucy saw a girl who was about 15 or 16 years old. She was wearing casual clothes: a white short-sleeved shirt, a loose but fitted jacket, and overalls. She exuded a youthful and energetic aura.

If her sister had survived her acute illness, she would probably be around this age, Lucy thought.

"Is she?" the security guard confirmed.

"um, yes."

Lucy answered unconsciously for some unknown reason.

"Oh?"

Asuka gave a playful smile and looked at the woman in front of him.

"Although this is the first time we've met face to face, I've actually been observing you for a long time, Dr. Lucy," she said.

"Who are you? FBI or CIA? Or a member of some unknown intelligence agency?"

"Whatever you speculate, I neither deny nor confirm."

Asuka said with a smile:

"I came here today to confirm something with you."

"What is it? If you want to confirm my research progress, please show me the official letter from the Advanced Research Projects Agency."

"No, I have no interest in your research."

"Then what do you want?"

"Mr. Blakelyn, your husband's whereabouts, ma'am."

Asuka showed her ID, which showed that she was an active-duty soldier of the Advanced Research Projects Agency, responsible for the security of the headquarters.

At least that's what Lucy saw on the document.

She did not speculate too much about the value of the certificate. For this kind of certificate, you can tell whether it is real or fake by looking at the material, the coding pattern and understanding the meaning of the specific numbers in the code.

"How is he?" asked Lucy.

"According to regulations, Mr. Blakelyn is required to report his whereabouts to us twice a day. In fact, he has not made regular reports for 36 hours, or three times."

"Then you might be a step too late."

"How to say?"

"This morning, I received the divorce agreement he left by the bed, and Blakelyn had signed his name on it."

"Oh, it seems he has left."

Chapter 185 Little White Rabbit

The safe house is a gray-brown four-story building that was built during the real estate boom more than 30 years ago.

Now it has been bought by someone and renovated into a high-end apartment.

The main residents of this building are employees of large companies, and it has quickly established a reputation among them for its excellent service, emphasis on privacy, and security.

From the outside, this building is no different from other small buildings, but it has an extremely strict security system inside. Two of the small rooms are set up as monitoring observation rooms, which also have the responsibility of security dispatch.

It is equipped with an ordinary table and several chairs that are much more comfortable than ordinary chairs. There are also two independent weapon storage cabinets, one for lethal and the other for non-lethal control weapons.

The latter mainly include batons, Taser guns and police shields, while the former are much more violent, with all UMP series submachine guns and pistols.

As long as the security team's brains are not offline or they are remotely mentally controlled by Yuri, there will not be an embarrassing situation where security guards massacre residents.

The activation of the lethal weapon cabinet requires the presence of two people and the simultaneous insertion of two keys, otherwise it can only be forcibly pried open by pure violence.

Asuka returned to the apartment, first walked to the apartment on the 3rd floor and entered, then went down to the same location and room type apartment on the 2nd floor through a secret passage.

After disposing of her assets, she immediately purchased 12 safe houses like this in cities across the United States that were worth staying in, all of which were operated in the form of small apartments.

That afternoon, Lucy Hidalgo arrived near the apartment as informed, and was then taken into the apartment building by Asuka.

She took Lucy to a windowless interview room on the top floor, which was usually used as a room for tenants and real estate agents to interview and sign contracts.

This time, Asuka temporarily turned it into an interrogation room.

When Lucy saw the camera, recorder, and separate microphone placed in the corner of the room, her brows were furrowed and she never relaxed.

Fortunately, this was just a recorded conversation, not an interrogation so severe that it required the presence of DICS criminal investigation agents.

"Don't be nervous. We are here just to get some truth from you, Doctor. This is not an interrogation of the criminal."

"Excuse me."

"Everyone has a first time, I understand that."

Asuka put on an impeccable smile and introduced the equipment in the room to Lucy. She also took this opportunity to activate the microphone, turn on the reel-to-reel recorder, and the video recorders arranged diagonally in front and behind also started working.

"Okay," Asuka said, "05/24/2034, time 1503, Safe House 01 of the Research Bureau Security Department in Annapolis."

After stating the date, time, and place, she went on:

“With me is Dr. Lucy Hidalgo. The subject of this interview is DARPA Information Security.

I am Fushimi Asuka, an information officer in the Research Bureau, with the rank of second lieutenant. Also present are—"

"Second Lieutenant Fushimi Suzune."

"Suzune" stood in the corner of the room, nodded towards the camera, and then said to Lucy: "I am Fushimi Suzune, an information officer in the Research Bureau."

"In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the number of people required to conduct an interview has reached the minimum legal and effective standard."

Asuka took a seat across from Lucy, and she continued according to procedure, "Do you have any objections, Ms. Lucy?"

"no problem."

From Lucy's first few minutes of speaking, it can be felt that she is a little nervous.

In the first half hour, the lieutenant standing motionless in the corner and the girl sitting in front of him showed the same doubts, until Lucy talked about the scientific research project that her ex-husband had been involved in recently.

"The contact person you mentioned? What's his name?" asked "Lingyin".

"I think it should be Cork, or maybe Kurt. I just heard Blakelyn say that on the phone. Anyway, it starts with the letter K." Lucy replied, "They always argue about some mechanical structure design. I think you know that the main business direction of the institute is industrial robots."

"It looks like it should be him." Fei Niao confirmed softly, "Did you notice anything unusual before Dr. Blakelin left?"

"abnormal?"

"For example, if you feel anxious or uneasy, if you see strangers wandering around the community when you are out, or if there are other phenomena that concern you."

"No." Lucy was sure. The residence they chose was very close to the institute, and most of the people who settled there were colleagues in the institute, not outsiders.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Lucy believed that the capable young man in front of her could think of this level.

Outsiders coming into the community must be extremely conspicuous to her.

If possible, she would be willing to describe all the appearance and details of the suspicious person accurately and meticulously, even the length of his hair and the color of his eyes.

This ability, acquired through long-term scientific training, helped her deal with one unexpected problem after another.

"Ms. Fushimi, I can assure you that no suspicious people appeared in the community in the past few days before the incident."

"indeed so."

Asuka nodded her confirmation, she had done a quick check of all the public surveillance videos in the community and hadn't seen any suspicious people or vehicles.

She looked back at the fake "Lingyin" who was standing in a straddle position, and decided not to have too high expectations for such a fool.

At least before the birth of her "self", let her nascent mind use the data left by Raphael to learn by itself.

"Well, let's move on to the next step," Asuka said.

"please say."

"According to your previous confession, Dr. Blakelin suddenly told you by email that he had received a special scientific research project and had to leave urgently, right?"

"Yes, he also provided a completed divorce agreement."

Lucy was a little confused. She had already said all this once before, so why did she have to mention it again?

Asuka noticed Ms. Lucy's confusion, but she didn't need to explain.

This is a common tactic used by police to interrogate suspects, where they repeat what the suspect said previously during the conversation to determine whether the suspect is lying.

A similar technique is to require flashbacks, asking the suspect to speak from the outcome of the event forward.

As long as it is not a personal experience, the fabricated facts will immediately expose the intention to conceal because of the discrepancies between the two statements in the confession.

Basically, few people can resist such tricks. Even veteran detectives find it difficult to resist, let alone this woman who got the opportunity through marriage.

According to the detailed information obtained by Fei Niao, Lucy's life before marriage was very dull, and the credit card spending records clearly told her how ordinary this guy's daily life was.

Although she got the opportunity to apply for a PhD after marriage, she studied hard and was determined to change her destiny, but she still lived an ascetic life with a revolving door and door.

A harmless little white rabbit, that's what she looked like to Asuka.

Chapter 186 Why?

Rafael drove as if he was on autopilot.

She held the steering wheel with one hand out of boredom, her feet never stopping, but it felt like the car completely obeyed her ideas, moving forward in the most suitable way, and she was just a passenger.

Lingyin squatted in the back cargo box, looking after the poor tied-up creature, who looked like a prisoner awaiting execution, and completed his work in a funny posture.

Just like the researchers they found, they were wrapped in tough and thick transparent plastic sheets. Apart from twisting like earthworms to bring joy to people, they were just thawed meat on the chopping board waiting to be processed.

Dr. Blakelin is a short man.
