PM 4:25: O7, O8, O9...

Connor took a sample from the blood that'd been spilled on the floor and he brought it to his mouth to analyze it. A witness had spotted a man bleeding walking all the way down the street.

The Ambulance had taken him immediately away and he'd be interrogated after his recovery. The Police had blocked the access of cars or any civilian and the officers were inspecting the area.

WILLIAMS, GERARD                  

BORN:7/12/1985
GRADUATED: PHYSICS IN
HERTFORDSHIRE UNIVERSITY

Connor was surprised that he didn't find any other information in his databank about the man. He turned around and he followed the trail of blood.

Small droplets of blood had been spilled on the plaques of the sidewalk. It led him towards a house. Hank was standing by the entrance of the house talking with Ben.

They moved aside so that Connor could enter the house. There were blood traces heading towards the living room. Connor spotted the knife and he analyzed it.

It was surprising that the fingerprints were Mr. Williams'. Connor took a sample of the blood that'd been stuck on the blade and he licked it analyzing it.

He felt confused, his LED turned bright yellow. The blood was the very same person's. Did he stab himself? Connor analyzed the living room. Most of the blood had been coloring the couch. Probably the man was sitting on it.

Connor analyzed the clues and he began to reconstruct. The man's orientation was turned towards the TV. He'd probably seen something in the TV that upset him. He had wrapped the knife that was resting on the table and he stabbed himself three times.

What did he see? Connor removed the skin from his hand and he touched the screen of the TV. He turned the broadcasting a few hours ago and he watched.

The broadcast was about the Deviants' Uprising. They'd showed pictures of Markus, North, Josh, even himself, focusing on how they finally gained their freedom and they'd start negotiations with the Prime Minister.

Connor found difficult to understand why such news forced the victim into suicide. He knew that there were people who still didn't agree with Androids being free, but he also knew that the Public Opinion was 87% in favor for that.

"So... what did you figure out, Sherlock?" Hank asked as he walked towards Connor.

Connor turned and looked at him "According to the blood sample, the victim was sitting on the couch until he saw something in the morning News Broadcast. Something that upset him. He took the knife and stabbed himself three times," Connor explained.

Hank chuckled "Well, it doesn't sound totally ridiculous,"

"It's all I can make out from the clues. There was no one else in the house," Connor said.

Hank shrugged "I guess we should wait for Mr. Williams' recovery and then make our questions..." Hank said as he turned around "...if it's with every motherfucker killing themselves every time they watch TV..." he groaned "...I need a day-off,"

Connor's gaze fell on a piece of furniture. There was a photograph he picked it up. It was Mr. Williams, his wife, and their son. Must have been drawn twenty years ago.

He had broken up with his wife and his son was dead. Connor halted his gaze on the child. It felt oddly familiar. The picture felt... familiar to him.
