With a light touch, the screen lights up.
There is no password set either.
Su Xiao sat down on the chair and browsed the contents of the computer.
He discovered that a camera installed in the basement was connected to the computer.
But when he clicked to take over remotely, it was completely dark.
Nothing can be seen.
It's like the camera in the basement was broken.
Helpless, he had to check the information first:
"Hey..."
Sender: Rose Horrigan
Recipient: Juliette Horrigan
Juliette!
God, how long have we not seen each other? How are you?
I guess I have something on my mind, so I wrote to you...
Do you remember that old dam we played with as kids? We would shout our names on it and other boring stuff and listen to their echoes...
Our voices carry across the valley...
Sometimes I think I can still hear that voice. All kinds of strange words, as if they floated far away from home, and then came back here...
Isn't it strange? I don't know, Juliette, actually everything is not going well for me, I feel worse and worse, and the worst thing is that I also lost my job (so what is the use of the new prosthetic body specially installed for work?)
I hope I didn't scare you or make too many demands, but I just thought it would be nice to hear your voice again, instead of just an echo...
Maybe this way I can get back on my feet?
Rose

Rose! Of course I remember that dam! Even that time we wanted to kick stupid Benny Dillard and his drone down: P
Yes, I heard about your job. It's really a shame, so unlucky. But listen, I talked to Cy and we both agreed that you could come and stay for a while, at least until you feel better. Come on, just like before.
Juliette
After reading the information, Su Xiao, Lucy, and Rebecca looked at each other in confusion.
"It looks like
Zi, this woman named Rose should be Juliette's sister, but Sai agreed to Rose's coming to live in the first place. It may be that Rose got sick, so Sai couldn't accept it and left home."
Rebecca saw Su Xiao looking thoughtful, and couldn't help but curiously asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I just think that this Rose is also a miserable person who changed his body to a new prosthetic body for work, but lost his job as a result."
Su Xiao watched an issue of <Tonight Talk> before, and the guest invited by Zyg·Q was a former worker at "New America Auto Manufacturing Corporation" named Martin Coleman.
In order to reduce costs, Xinmei Auto requires workers to wear Zeta Tech mechanical prostheses, otherwise they will be fired without severance pay.
Except for young workers who have not yet started a family and started a business, but only one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry.
Most middle-aged workers with families and homes are forced to choose to replace mechanical prostheses because they cannot live without work.
If you think that this pair of mechanical prosthetics are provided by the company for free, you are wrong, my friend, this is Night City, and no matter how magical things are, they will seem so natural here.
Zeta Tech forced workers who were willing to replace mechanical prosthetics to take out loans and pay them off over twenty years, and the money would be deducted directly from their wages.
Although he was burdened with heavy loans, at least he did not lose his job.
The workers can still accept it.
However, less than a year later, they were dumbfounded.
Because Xinmei Auto went bankrupt.
Workers, including Martin, have since been living on the streets.
Martin has a wife who cannot work, and two daughters who are waiting to be fed.
For their sake, and also to be able to repay Zeta Tech's loan.
Martin struggled to find a job.
He has been to every factory of Northside Industrial District and River Valley, and he can pay as much as he wants.
But during that time, Night City's light and heavy industries were in their most difficult period.
Workers are losing their jobs everywhere, and factories are closing down every day.
It was impossible for Martin to find a job.
Without a job, there is no income, and there is no way to repay the loan.
Then Zeta Tech's mortgage recovery team came.
They forcibly removed Martin's mechanical prosthesis and took him away.
In this way, he became a cripple.
Ironically, on the show at that time, in order to promote the new prosthetic body of Militech, Zyg deliberately showed it when Martin was at his saddest.
This gave Martin and the audience present, as well as the audience in front of the television, a wrong signal.
Let them mistakenly think that these prosthetic arms are for Martin.
But in fact, Zyg never said it would be given away from the beginning to the end.
It is said that Zyg left as soon as the show ended, and the pair of prosthetics were naturally taken away by the staff.
Even Martin, who was injured again, was ruthlessly driven back to the street from the recording scene.
Su Xiao recovered his mind and saw the two women looking at him.
He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
"If we look at other emails, maybe that will tell us what happened here."
"About Rose"
Sender: Victor·Victor
Recipient: Juliette Horrigan
Ms. Horrigan,
I'm glad you came to me for help instead of those charlatans from Quick Knife Clinic.
But I'm sorry, I'm afraid what I bring is not good news.
The symptoms you describe indicate that the patient has fallen into a serious disorder that will continue to worsen no matter what follow-up measures are taken.
In this case, I'm afraid no matter how much you try to help your sister, it won't help.
The real "antidote" can only be Riot Control Unit, if you know what I mean.
Good thing you contacted me, but then you'd better contact them. The sooner she gets it done, the safer everyone around her will be. That includes you.
Victor·Victor
"Old Wei?"
The three of them looked at each other.
I didn't expect Old Wei to be related to this matter.
Juliette actually asked Old Wei for help.
"Riot Control Unit..."
Su Xiao was just a guess before, but now I can believe it 100%.
Juliette's sister Rose got Cyberpsychosis.
That's why there is not a single euro in the safe at home.
Because all the money was used by Juliette to buy the medicine to treat Cyberpsychosis.
And Juliette's husband chose to leave because he couldn't bear it.
Chapter 88 Let me clarify, this is not a rumor (4K)
The last two emails on the computer were from the mothers of Juliette and Rose, and from Old Captain.
The former was because Rose suddenly called his mother 40 times. After his mother answered the call, Rose didn't say a word, only breathing heavily.
My mother found it strange that no one picked up the phone when she called her, so she wanted to ask Juliette what was going on.
Juliette comforted his mother and said everything was normal.
The latter is that after Juliette lost contact with Old Captain, Old Captain asked Juliette about Zeta Tech's data and Old Captain still had several jobs here. He could only trust Juliette, while others were worried.
But Juliette did not reply to the last email sent by Old Captain.
I don't know what happened at that time.
Or Juliette because
Rose's relationship has no time for him to take care of.
Juliette's house is not big, there is only so much on the first floor.
Now that the first floor has been explored, let's start investigating the second floor.
The three of them returned to the sofa in the living room.
Follow the stairs against the wall and go all the way up to the second floor.
The space on the second floor is narrower than the first floor, with only two rooms.
First Su Xiao opens the door near the stairs.
Inside is a bedroom.
The bed is like a train sleeper, with upper and lower bunks.
There was a lot of dried blood on the wardrobe door that you could see the first time you entered.
A chair was brought to the ground.
The room was in a mess and miserable.
Through the scenes at the scene, Su Xiao unconsciously restored the situation at that time:
It should be Juliette, or her husband Sai, who wants to control the crazy Rose.
Hug her from behind.
Their backs may have been injured at that time and were bleeding.
Then Rose pushed her hard against the wardrobe.
That would leave those dried blood stains on the closet door.
There was still a bad smell in the room.
There is an open medical kit on the table.
The medical supplies inside are almost used up.
