in the intensive care unit.

Lorna Dane, wearing a breathing mask on the hospital bed, seemed to sleep very sweetly, and the sound of instruments and equipment ringing in her ears like a concerto could not seem to disturb the sweet dream she was having.

I can't disturb Ruke, who is sitting on a chair next to him, playing with the FBI badge in his hand.

This is when she had just finished eating in the hospital cafeteria, and Rachel said that she had excavated the FBI badge from the rubble of the site.

The badge is genuine.

No doubt.

This was confirmed by Luke after Penning.

There is a clear difference between the weight of a real federal badge and the weight of a counterfeit badge, and almost every federal agent can accurately distinguish it.

There's just a problem.

This federal coat of arms......

Not his!

Luke looked at the badge in his hand, then looked up and looked back at Lorna Dane on the hospital bed.

If he hadn't let Vince follow the Dane family for almost half a month, and had already determined that the Dane family was really innocently implicated, the current rash appearance of the federal badge would be enough to be the reason for his murderous intent to sprout again.

But if the Dane family is really innocent and implicated, then how to explain this federal badge that was excavated from the ruins?

Also, what happened last night?

Luke thought curiously.

Something suddenly occurred to him.

It seems that the ability of mutants to be turned on seems to have the same effect as opening the gene lock or something.

They are all triggered when they are threatened by a fatal threat, or when they are in a moment of life and death, so as to unlock their own genetic locks or awaken their mutant abilities.

This is also the reason why the awakening of mutants mostly occurs in adolescence.

One word.

This is the Federation.

This is the Federation of some school bullying habits.

In this case, boys and girls with X genes in their bodies are easy to awaken their mutant abilities when they are bullied at school.

Could it be that someone ran to Dane's house last night and prepared to bully the Dane couple, and as a result, Lorna Dane lost control of her emotions and awakened her mutant abilities at the same time, and then, blew up the entire Mir community?

Or rather......

It was an FBI agent who ran to Dane's house last night?

Yesterday, Luke had learned from Director Louis why the Washington headquarters was so concerned about Bill Kings' death.

There was even a deputy director parachuted in for this purpose.

Although it will be a few days before the deputy chief will come to Los Angeles.

But what if it's a trick.

For example, on the surface, a deputy director said that he would come in a few days, but in fact, a trustworthy agent had been sent from Washington in advance to find out?

After all, Washington.

Federal Political Center.

The means should not be underestimated.

Luke looked at the federal badge in his palm, which had almost melted more than half of the outward, touched it with his hand, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket, got up from the chair, and walked to the window of the ward.

After a while.

Debbie, who was in the bureau, answered the phone.

"God, boss, are you alright?"

"Okay."

Luke accepted Debbie's exclamation and concern for linking himself to God, and said lightly, "Have you found the surveillance of the Mill community?" ”

Debbie shook her head: "The monitoring of the Mill community was reported for repair more than ten days ago, and there has been no budget in Orange County, so it has not been passed." ”

Don't look at the surveillance in Los Angeles, it's almost everywhere in the city.

But five out of ten of these monitors are broken, and four are also waiting in line for the cost of installation or maintenance to be approved.

The remaining one that is good and running surveillance will also not be filmed at the scene of the crime for various reasons.

This time was no exception.

"Damn the monitoring center, there is a community across the road, which was installed half a month ago, but since they haven't set up automatic backups."

Debbie complained on the phone, and then said: "But don't worry, boss, I'm calling up the surveillance near the Mill community, and I'm comparing the vehicles and pedestrians that appear in the surveillance, if there are any suspicious vehicles or pedestrians, I will tell you as soon as possible." ”

Luke hummed, then asked about the exhumation of bodies in the Mill community.

"Thirty-two identifiable bodies were exhumed at the scene, and after confirmation, they are all residents of the Mill community, and the remaining bodies that cannot be easily identified have been sent to the forensic doctor's office, and our forensic doctor has also gone over to help, and among the current unrecognizable bodies, through the confirmation of dental records, five more residents of the Mill community have been identified."

"Got it."

Luke nodded, gesturing to hang up, then seemed to think of something.

"Wait."

"Boss."

"How's the situation on the other side of the ruins of Dane's house?"

"Boss."

Debbie opened her mouth, as if she didn't want to say something.

Luke knew that Debbie felt that she might not be able to bear it, so she said directly: "It's okay, just say it, I'm already mentally prepared." ”

Debbie thought about it and could only sigh.

"Okay."

"The wreckage excavated from the ruins of Dane's house at the scene was forensically sorted out, and a total of five bodies were found."

"There are two of them, and the news just came from the medical examiner's office, and through the comparison of dental records, the identities of two of them have been confirmed to be Victoria Dane and Suzanne Dane."

Debbie was cautious after she finished speaking.

"Boss, mourn."

"I like to make people mourn."

“…… Top dog. ”

Debbie could hear the depression in Luke's calm words, like before a volcanic eruption.

Luke interrupted directly.

"You just said that it was confirmed that in the ruins of Dane's house, five bodies were confirmed?"

"Yes."

"And three unidentified wreckage?"

"Yes."

Debbie checked the latest information and nodded, "The medical examiner's office hasn't sent the latest information yet." ”

Don't think about it.

The three wreckage, plus the federal insignia recovered from the scene, were largely a no-brainer.

This must have been sent by Chen Cang, who was secretly in Washington, to investigate him, the agent who had made great contributions to the Bill Kings case.

Whoever gains is the most suspicious.

This is the most basic logic.

Who made him make a lot of money in the death of Bill Kings.

Bill Kings's big man is both an uncle and a father, and the more suspicious he is, the more normal it is.

Luke's mind turned, listening to the door opening, turning his head to look at Rachel who walked in from the outside, ending the call with Debbie.

"If there is news, notify me as soon as possible."

"Okay, old ......"

Luke hung up the phone and looked at Rachel who walked in: "So fast, didn't you say, let you go home and rest?" ”

At that time, after he and Rachel finished eating in the hospital cafeteria, Luke looked at Rachel, who had been with him for almost the night and was a little tired, so he asked Rachel to go back and rest first.

Anyway, Rachel stays here and doesn't have much to do.

Rachel walked up to Luke with a suit she had brought from home, sniffed at Luke, and said, "I'm here to get you clothes, you haven't slept all night, you smell all over your body, go to the bathroom and take a shower." ”

Because Lorna Dane is the sister of the deputy director of operations of the FBI's Los Angeles Division.

Nature.

The intensive care unit where Lorna is located is also the kind of VIP suite.

Luke listened to Rachel's words and looked down at himself and sniffed at him.

"Does it smell?"

"Yes, it stinks."

Rachel handed Luke the new suit she had brought, and then pushed Luke towards the bathroom: "Take a shower, change your clothes, you look more energetic, and besides, you don't want your sister to wake up and see you like this." ”

Luke couldn't find any excuse to refute Rachel's reasoning, so he let Rachel push him into the bathroom.

Half an hour later.

Luke changed into a cleanly washed white shirt that Rachel had brought from home, and leather shoes, wearing a black jacket and a bright red tie around his right hand, and walked out of the bathroom.

Rachel, who replaced Luke and sat in his position, took care of Lorna, looked at Luke who came out with his neckline open, smiled, got up, helped Luke tidy up the collar of his white shirt, and then looked at Luke who was looking up, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's back to the handsome side." ”

Luke shrugged: "I've always been handsome. ”

Rachel pursed her lips and smiled, took the red tie that Luke wrapped around her hand, and when she tied it to Luke, she was a little curious: "I noticed that you seem to have a soft spot for red ties." ”

In the master bedroom there is a drawer for putting a tie.

Six of the ten ties are red on a red background.

Luke didn't hesitate: "Red is my lucky color. ”

Rachel glanced at Luke, "That's why you bought me a pair of red stockings a week ago, so you were so excited that night?" ”

It's no joke.

Red is the color that cannot be desecrated.

Lu Ke looked at Rachel, who had arranged his tie for him, with a serious face: "No, as long as it's you, no matter what color of stockings you wear, I'll be excited." ”

The main thing is that Rachel has long legs.

It's smooth and moist.

In particular, I can wear stockings and want to express the meaning.

Rachel rolled her eyes directly at Rock.

I believe you're a ghost.

The last time I wore white silk, you didn't pester me all night, and you didn't call me "Mommy".

Ruiqin thought so in her heart, but she still felt quite happy when she saw that Lu Ke, who had changed into clean clothes and seemed to have come out of that state.

After all, it's a good thing to be able to joke.

"That's right."

"The doctor just came, checked it out, and said that Lorna recovered ...... today"

Rachel was just talking.

Suddenly.

The door of the ward was pushed open directly from the outside.

Leader.

Suits.

“F……”
