Chapter 47 Coming Back From Vacation & Finding Out Who Shot Him
Two weeks later.
Nova's half of her computing power was being spent on the internet collecting data as usual.
As for the remaining half it was split into doing many things.
Some of it was on Aron's phone for smooth communication, some of it was doing other things like monitoring Aron's surroundings.
Of the many parts one of them was investigating Aron's case. She started by analyzing all the footage she could access from the ten kilometer radius with the house as the center of the circle.
She was using nearly 20% of her server's computing power to analyze hours of the footages, creating a profile for every person appearing on the thousands of footages.
When the creation of the profiles was done, she started removing the people who were living in the neighborhood from the list she followed with those who were just passing in the neighborhood, this continued with more and more people being removed from the list.
After thousands of rounds of deduction and people being removed from the list, seven people remained in the list as suspects.
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Six of the seven remained as suspects because they started living in the neighborhood two months before the attack and they left the neighborhood just days before it happened.
As for the remaining one, he was the most suspicious, as he came to the neighborhood frequently and linger around Aron's neighborhood without doing anything of significance to show his need of being in the neighborhood frequently.
For now she hit a block in her investigation as her computing power was still limiting her capabilities to move further than that.
[Looks like I will have to ask father for an upgrade much sooner than expected]
She said this looking at the images of the suspects while adding the upgrade request among the important things to talk to Aron when he returns from the vacation.
With that she postponed her investigation in that case as she reallocated the freed up computing power to her other tasks to prevent wasting resources.
.....
Jan 15 2014.
A day after the French government announced the controversial plan to reform France's pension system Aron and his family were finally back from their vacation.
Henry, who was sad that the trip came to an end but happy that it happened at all, went to sleep the moment they arrived.
Aron and his parents did the same too as they were also tired.
Later that day Aron woke up and cleaned himself, did his quest, cleaned himself and after that he went to his work room to receive the summary of what happened during the vacation.
Since Nova didn't contact him during the vacation it meant nothing of emergency that needed his immediate response happened.
He entered the room and was welcomed by Nova as his screen powered up.
[Welcome home sir] Nova said as the screen showed a firework animation which caused Aron to smile as he sat down.
"Thanks, how are you doing?"
[Nothing changed other than the amount of the projects being postponed due to inadequate computing power increasing.] Nova immediately went with an uppercut without wasting any time.
"I will solve that soon, don't worry too much"
[Okay, Also here are the suspects of your case.] Said Nova while showing him the picture of the suspects.
Aron looked at the 3D characters of the suspects. And they were very detailed since Nova collected the images data from hundreds of footages. It allowed her to create 3D characters of the suspects with realistic details that were very accurate.
"Put a mask on them and also make their clothes black and add a hat" He said after seeing the suspects.
The moment he said that all the characters' clothes changed to black with a black hat and a mask.
After it was done he looked at the character but he was still having difficulties identifying the suspects.
After taking a look again and again and still not identifying who the suspect was, he stood from his chair and went to the corner of the room.
He took his phone from his pocket and started taking pictures of the room. After he was done he went to the other corner of the room and did the same thing.
He repeated this until he had pictures from all sides of his work room.
"Nova take the pictures I took and create a 3D model of the room to scale"
[Yes Sir] Nova replied and immediately accessed Arons phone and downloaded the pictures to her servers.
Then she quickly set to work using the photographs to create a 3D rendering of the space.
After analyzing each image, Nova began to build a detailed model of the room, reconstructing its dimensions, layout, and features with astonishing accuracy.
Soon, the room had come to life in Nova's virtual environment, its walls and furniture taking on a digital existence.
[Sir It's done] Nova Said shortly after she was done.
"Now create a model of me too" He said after looking at the model of the room.
[Here] Nova replied showing his 3D model the moment he said.
"That was pretty fast" He said as he was surprised by the speed.
[I'm a state of the art AI so being fast is nothing but expected] Nova said in pride.
"Ohhh" Aron gave a suspicious reaction to her bragging as it was as rare as girls fart.
[But in this case it was done before you asked. I made it at the same time I made the suspects ones] She added while her cartoon on the screen was looking away.
"HAHAHA" Aron couldn't help but laugh at her attempt at being funny.
"Anyway, put the models in the room" He said after laughing for a shırt period of time.
Nova did as asked. She took the suspects and Aron's model and put them in the room.
"Now put my model on the chair and make them stand behind me with guns one by one"
Nova did as asked by creating seven different windows showing different suspects in each of them.
Aron looked carefully at each window trying to remember and come up with who it might be.
"Remove him, him, him and him" With that he removed 4 leaving only three suspects behind.
He looked again and again to try and eliminate even more people but he still couldn't find any difference.
"Look at my case file and put my body model on the location he was shot and put the suspects according to where they were supposed to be standing based on the footsteps evidence."
Nova did as he was asked.
Aron looked at them then added "Show me from my perspective on the scene."
Nova immediately changed the perspective to the one of Aron's shot model laying on the ground.
"Him" The moment he looked at the new perspective he immediately remembered the look of the man who stood looking down at his shot body.
The moment he said that Nova removed all other models and brought up video footages of the named suspects.
Aron watched about five minutes of footages then Nova interrupted him by asking him
[Do you want me to send the information to the police?]
"How will I explain how I'm so sure? When I already said that the suspect was wearing a mask. Another reason is because I want to deal with the man and anyone behind him myself"
[Yes Sir] Nova agreed with his fathers decision to deal with it himself. Because leaving things in other people's hands means you are under their mercy and whims, plus it's better to solve things by yourself.
"We will come back to the case when our plan is completed" He said indicating the end of the investigation for the moment.
"Now let's look at ways we can upgrade you as we wait for the report from the PI(private investigators)"
[YES] Said Nova with enthusiasm while making her character on the screen jump from excitement.
Aron couldn't help but smile and shake his head at her childishness sometimes.
