It takes eight Earth days for Xiangshen to fly from Mars to Jupiter Space City. That includes waiting for the asteroid belt to pass through and watching a meteor shower in the constellation of Perseus.

On the third day of departure, Xiangshen entered the waiting stage of the asteroid belt. That morning, the spacecraft's guard robot found Nian Gengyi. The heavily accented man in the stargazing room died, and they asked Nian Gengyi for questions.

"Are you Nian Gengyi?" The question was asked by a guard who’s middle-aged with a beard, a neat beard and neatly combed hair. But his eyes were not sharp, as if he was not very willing to do such a police job.

"Yes," cooperating with the police in questioning, this is the basic rule of the robot.

"Have 30 years of experience caring for people?" The police also knew that the robot's words must be true, but questioning is a necessary process.

"Yes."

"Your owner has passed away, and you are now an independent robot?"

"Yes."

"Did you know that a man died last night?"

"I just heard."

"Do you know who it is?"

"Yes."

"Someone said that the dead man mentioned you in the stargazing room yesterday?"

"Yes. The dead man said 'why this machine boy can sit on this VIP seat', and I think he meant me when he said 'machine boy'."

"You're not angry?"

"Not angry."

"Where did you go out of the bedroom at 8 o'clock last night?"

"Stargazing room." Last night, Nian Gengyi did really not sleep in the bedroom. The robot does not need to sleep.

"What were you doing in the stargazing room?"

"Stargazing and charging."

"When did you go back?"

"12 o'clock at night."

"Then at 1 o'clock at night, what are you doing out again?"

"Stargazing, and then at 6 o'clock, I went back to the bedroom."

"Why are you running back and forth?"

"This period is when my owner used to take medicine. I just went back to take a look!"

"Your owner no longer needs to take medicine, what are you running back to see?"

Nian Gengyi didn't know why he ran back and forth... I might just take a look at the medicine bottle! "Look at the medicine!"

Doubt, will a robot do such a meaningless thing? The police comrade expressed deep doubts. However, Nian Gengyi is a robot and cannot lie to the police. 30 years of no mistakes shows that Nian Gengyi's system is in good condition. There is no precedent for such a robot to kill people without an owner. And the time that Nian Gengyi said is correct, it seems impossible to go to the bedroom of the deceased to kill. Besides, Nian Gengyi has nothing to do with the deceased and has no motive for murder. It is difficult to connect the deceased with him.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

"Could it be that aliens killed someone mysteriously?" A young man with a white suit, black tie, and yellow hair croaked beside Mr. Lin, who was bald and black-faced.

This was the plant sightseeing room, and Nian Gengyi saw the two of them when he entered the door. Mr. Lin sat under a big tree, seemingly sitting in meditation. The young man couldn't sit still, looking around, full of curiosity.

The Xiangshen passed through the asteroid belt, and everyone hoped to see this grand event, so the stargazing room was full of people. Nian Gengyi naturally wouldn't consider joining in on the fun. Instead, the plant sightseeing room is a good place. It is also a good place for people who travel to the stars to relax.

In the plant sightseeing room, there is also a plant carried by Nian Gengyi, the phoenix-tailed yucca. This is a gift from the owner's great-granddaughter on his 100th birthday. Later, it has been taken care of by Nian Gengyi.

On earth, when it comes to the success of life, human beings do their part. But there are many organisms that stand proudly in the forest of successful life on earth with human beings. The phoenix-tailed yucca is one of the best. It is scientifically determined that the life of this plant can last as long as 13,000 years. In terms of longevity, it crushes humans with strength.

This phoenix-tailed yucca from Nian Gengyi is still a young plant and has never bloomed. This does not affect its appearance. He named it Cangpeng, from the name of vigorous,powerful and upward.

"Do robots know how to appreciate plants?" The young man with yellow hair next to the bald head Lin noticed that Nian Gengyi had some time to watch the phoenix-tailed yucca, and specially said loudly to Mr. Lin, "I see, he is helping it find bugs! Hahaha, that robot, don't worry, the organisms in the plant room will remain pure, and it will not be allowed to grow bugs."

The most standard way for the robot to answer this kind of unexplained conversation is to smile at him, saying that it understands, please shut up. The young man with yellow hair was naturally knew it, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward. At this time, a group of people outside rushed in to completely cover up the embarrassment.

Writer Liu and two women came in. "Boss Lin, I knew you were hiding here," Writer Liu greeted Boss Lin when he entered the door, "You really know how to find a place, this plant room is full of flowers and plants, which makes people feel good!"

"Writer Liu, good morning," the yellow-haired young man greeted Writer Liu, "Has the cause of death of the nouveau riche man come out?"

"Xiaobai, good morning," Writer Liu knew them, "How can the result be so fast! The suicide and homicide have not been figured out yet! It is estimated that we have to wait until the detectives of the space station come to solve the case in person."

Xiao Bai finally found someone who could talk to him, "Writer Liu, you are a great writer, you must be open-minded and able to think about what ordinary people can't think. Take a look, we are in this space, is there a possibility of aliens murdering mysteriously?"

"What kind of shit aliens kill? it is obviously that the character for 'lust' has a knife hanging above its head(This Chinese proverb literally depicts the character色(lust) with a knife above it, warning that indulgence in carnal desires will lead to disaster), and Yama urges his reckoning at the third watch(In Chinese folklore, Yama is the king of the underworld. “the third watch”(11pm-1am) symbolizes the darkest hour when supernatural forces are most active.)," The two women who came in after Writer Liu heard Xiao Bai's words, and Woman A disagreed. The two women started chatting like this.

Woman B: "Has that waitress been locked up?"

Woman A: "I don't know, I don't think I saw her today. She 80% could be caught. I heard from Lao Wang that the waitress went to the dead man's room last night."

Woman B: "Didn't the dead man bring his wife with him?"

Woman A: "At the time of death, his wife was not in the room."

Woman B: "Could it be that his wife caught the rape and killed him?"

Woman A: "It's very likely!"

Woman B: "That waitress looks like a newcomer, and she must have been deceived. The little girls are all slender and tender now, and those men are in a commotion, and they should behave inappropriately!"

Woman A: "Let's not talk about men, a whining woman can even be peeked by a robot..."

The conversation between the two women brought the case into a cheesy plot. This is naturally not something that Writer Liu and yellow hair Xiaobai can agree with. After a while, they felt bored, and Writer Liu asked Xiaobai again, "How did you think that this might be a mysterious murder by aliens?"

Xiaobai took out his brick cellphone: "Look at my WeChat, since 6 o'clock last night, there have been people nearby who want to add me as a friend. 'Nearby people', Writer Liu, they are nearby people. We are in space, where do nearby people come from?"

Writer Liu also took out his own brick, "I also think this is strange. Look, I also have so many people adding friends on my phone. Did you add it?"

Xiaobai: "No, I was clubbing last night! I haven't watched it. When I saw it, it was when the man's death information came. I was thinking, fortunately I didn't watch it. This friend may be the beginning of the alien killing. The man added him as soon as he saw his avatar. Then he was killed by the aliens."

Writer Liu's eyes flashed, "So how do you think the aliens killed this man?"

Xiaobai: "Of course it's a mysterious power unknown to humans."
