"Before you mention the smell Hank, it was worse when I got here." You said as he made a horrified facial expression, while Ben confirmed what you were telling him.

"Ah Jesus, what do we have here?" Hank said trying to move past the discussion of the smell which made you smirk at him.

"We had a call around eight from the landlord, the tenant hadn't paid his rent for a few months. So he thought he'd drop by, see what is going on... that's when he found the body." Ben explained as you cringed at the smell once more.

You looked just above the victim to see a sentence written there:

I AM ALIVE

"The victims names Carlos Ortiz. He has a record of theft and aggravated assault... According to his neighbours, he was kind of a loner. Stayed inside most of the time, they hardly ever saw him." Ben further explained as you finally got the chance to kneel down and look at the body.

Hank knelt down beside you giving you a look to explain. "You have eyes too you know Anderson. But as you like I'm pretty sure he was stabbed a lot." You say grinning at Hank who shakes his head at you.

"Uh, state he's in... worth calling everybody out in the middle of the night... could've waited 'til morning." Hank said to Ben evidently annoyed he's here.

"I'd say he's been there for good three weeks. We'll know more when the coroner gets here. There's a kitchen knife over here..." Ben states as he points over to a bloody knife just a few feet behind you to your left "...Probably the murder weapon."

"Any sign of a break-in?" You asked trying to get all the facts.

"Nope... the landlord said the front door was locked from the inside, all the windows were boarded up. The killer must've gone out the back way." Ben said as you glanced towards where the back entrance was with a puzzled look while biting your lip. 

"What do we know about his Android?" Hank asked Ben.

"Not much. The neighbours confirmed he had one, but it wasn't here when we arrived." Ben said which made you wonder where the Android could have gone. "I gotta get some air. Make yourself at home. I'll be outside if either of you need me." Ben said making his way for the front door.

You notice Connor moving away from you and Hank towards the knife you follow slowly behind wondering what he's doing, he kneels down as if to get a closer inspection. You watch him looking at the handle, as he looks back up he notices you looking at him.

"Find anything interesting?" You ask as he looks back at the knife and nods as you wait for him to speak but he doesn't. "You going to tell me or keep it to yourself?"

"There's no fingerprints. Which means his Android was most likely involved." Connor says as you nod fascinated by what he discovered. He turns back to the knife looking at the blood.

He reaches his fingers to collect some on them as you go to say something he raises his fingers to his lips and licked the blood off his fingers which caught Hanks attention. "Err, Jesus! what the hell are you doing?" Hank asked in disgust while you just watched confused.

"I'm analysing the blood. I can check samples in real time. I'm sorry. I should've warned you two." Connor said as you just stared at him in amazement.

"No way you can actually do that?" You said with a large smile on your face as Connor nodded in response. "Efficient yet disgusting."
