“Do you remember it very clearly?” Xu Huo said.


    Mr. Yue smiled and said, "Of course, after this incident, Matri Dorati pushed for several pieces of legislation, including implanting tracking chips into living people, heavier penalties for minors'' crimes, and improving the quality of all robots." The safety of minors is a priority in the agreement. In any case, robots should give priority to protecting minors compared to other people.”


    "The protection of minors is being improved every time the law is revised. The biggest change is tracking chips. This technology was not allowed in the past, because in the minds of ordinary people, unless forced to do so, they will never be easily The surgery was performed, but surprisingly, there was not much opposition at the time.”


    “Maybe it’s because I’ve done too many bad things.”


    The old gentleman does not seem to have such a strong sense of belonging to District 019. He looks at the current situation and past of District 019 indifferently.


    “What is the name of Matri Doleti’s little daughter?”


    "Xiaxi Duolaiti." Mr. Yue said: "I met that little girl twice when I was following the government''s movements. She was a very beautiful girl. After she disappeared, the government secretly sent people to search for her for a long time, but as far as I know As far as we know, her body was never recovered and the matter was settled."


    Xu Huo nodded, "Is it true that more than a hundred years ago, the district government and the mining group jointly caused a mining disaster just to obtain human bone gems?"


    Mr. Yue gave him a surprised look, "I didn''t expect you to even find out about this matter."


    "It''s just a coincidence." Xu Huo said, "The disappearance of Xiaxi Duolaiti should be related to the mining accident."


    “There were a lot of gossips at that time, players were not as safe as they are now, and government personnel were the focus of attacks. Anything could happen.” Mr. Yue lamented: “If it was because of the mining disaster...that would be a pity.”


    "I got some vague information from some of the victims'' families back then, and the economic situation in District 019 at that time was really not optimistic. After tracing it, I vaguely guessed something." He paused here, and then He said: "But I didn''t go any further. It wouldn''t do me any good to investigate further, so I rejected some of the victims'' families'' requests for help out of conscience."


    “I didn’t expect to find out later that I was also a beneficiary of those massacres.”


    The old gentleman should know a lot of inside information, he just chose to obscure some information.


    Xu Huo did not force him to tell them all, but selected some questions related to Xia Xi Duolai.


    “The place where she disappeared was called Funiu Village, a small place. This place was later merged into a nearby city and renamed Sanhui City.”


    “Xiaxi Duolaiti was on an outing with her classmates at the time and disappeared at night. Her companions fell asleep and had no idea when she disappeared, so they only discovered her and called the police the next morning.”


    “After that, government officials searched for several months with no results.”


    The old man gave the detailed time and the specific place where Xiaxi Duolaiti disappeared, and then looked at him, "Do you think Xiaxi Duolaiti is the Ember girl?" Xu Huo did not answer this question, and the old man did not Obsessed with the answer, he looked ahead and sighed, "If she is really the Ember girl, it doesn''t matter if you can find her. Many innocent people have sacrificed for Area 019, and she is one of them. If you find her, it will count." ”


    “It’s been too long,” Xu Huo asked again, “Did Matri Duolaiti have the power to veto proposals within the government when he was in office?”


    Judging from the information on the Jixin Terminal, the power of the role of the Chief Consul of District 019 fluctuates. Although there has been no change in the past hundred years, his power can be weakened and increased through voting. The one-vote veto power is also included. The chief consul may not have had this power last year. When voting at the beginning of this year, he accidentally added an extra vote, and the one-vote veto power returned to his hand. After a year of pulling and pulling, he felt that this " "One-vote veto power" means that people who are in the way will vote this power down again, which sounds wonderful and absurd.


    Mr. Yue gave him a definite answer.


    Xu Huo sighed secretly, maybe it was because of this one-vote veto power. If the truth had been guessed at that time, or if the people in the district government were simply angry because of the high incidence of mining disasters, the first person to look for would definitely be the chief consul. As the second person in the government As a spokesperson, he is of course obliged to exercise the "veto power" for the dead. It is precisely because he did not and allowed so many people to die that he became the target of revenge.


    Of course, the disappearance of Xiaxi Duolaiti was long after the period when mining disasters were common. The wave of revenge for the deceased should have gradually subsided. This does not mean that her disappearance must be due to a man-made accident. After all, there are too many possibilities. .


    This is a good clue.


    "If you have relevant information, can you lend it to me?" Xu Huo asked.


    Mr. Yue took out an old-fashioned USB flash drive from the box under the armrest of his wheelchair. "Don''t connect it to the letter collection terminal. I will keep these things as a souvenir."


    ? Xu Huo took the device he brought from Area 014 and read the contents.


    Not only did we get a glimpse of the faces of Xasi Duolaiti and Matri Duolaiti from scattered messages and photos, but we also directly saw the Funiu Village at that time and the hotel where Xasi Duolaiti disappeared. It is very clear that there will be some follow-up interviews with nearby residents.


    The time coincides with Solan''s transformation, but Funiu Village is still a little far away from the site of Solan''s father''s accident, and she probably never left Tintinhua Town during that time. From these two aspects, it is impossible for her to appear. In Funiu Village.


    Xu Huo opened the map again and compared it. The current Sanhui City was merged and rebuilt from several places. The original places were not very eye-catching, but the neighbor of Sanhui City was originally called "Enbeer Town".


    “Ember Town?” He raised his head, “Do you have any impression of this place?”


    “It’s a bit far from Funiu Village,” Mr. Yue recalled. “It used to be a poor place, but it was later bulldozed and built into a big city, and its name was changed to...”


    “Wine Mulberry City.” Xu Huo said. More than ten years ago, this place changed its name back to “Ember”, becoming one of the places where Master Solan followed the trend of changing names after he announced the name of the painting.


    "Did Xiaxi Duolaiti die in Enbeier Town?" Mr. Yue was confused for a moment, but soon regained his composure, waving his hand and saying: "It has been more than a hundred years, and there is no use in investigating the cause. Life is all about fate, starting as a person and ending as a person. The process is not that important." (End of this chapter)
