Luke didn't waste any time and asked directly, "Does she show any signs of drug abuse?"
The nurse shook her head: "Probably not. There are no old needle marks on her arm, and no illegal drugs have been detected in her body so far."
Luke: "Are there any external injuries? Scratches, beatings, knife wounds, etc."
Nurse: “Basically none.”
"Are there any signs of violation?" Luke continued to ask.
The nurse's face turned grim: "Her underwear is still intact, but..."
Luke and the other man waited quietly for what would happen next.
"But her underwear doesn't look like something an underage girl should wear." The nurse said, "And idsarrieri is not cheap, starting at at least $500 per set."
Luke glanced at Selina, as if asking her if she had heard of this brand.
Selena nodded slightly in response, indicating that this brand was indeed that expensive.
Luke nodded. "I'll call the Special Victims Unit right away. The forensic personnel will come to collect evidence later. Please tell the doctor not to clean up the things on her body for the time being."
Nurse: "Okay."
Luke: "We will also follow up on this case. We may need to consult you at that time. What should I call you?"
"Christina Palmer, emergency department nurse." The nurse said and went back to work.
The two called the Special Victims Unit and handed the case over to them. They then urged the forensic department to come and collect evidence, and finally left the hospital at two o'clock in the afternoon.
That girl may have had an unfortunate experience, but in New York, a megacity with a population of eight million, there are many people who have had similar experiences.
She was extremely lucky to be rescued intact.
There are at least several thousand cases of the same type in the Special Victims Unit, and Luke and his team cannot handle them all.
Looking at the gloomy weather, Selina stretched and said, "I always feel like it's going to rain. I always feel sleepy."
Luke: "You can stay home with Jin Nugget this afternoon and look up some information. I'm going to go out and do something."
Selina: "What's going on?"
Luke: "Make arrangements for the three troubled girls, and also visit an "old friend"."
When Selena heard the emphasis from “old friend,” she stopped asking.
Luke doesn't really have any old friends here. It's more likely that they are some "professionals" he once knew, or maybe even enemies. This is not appropriate to discuss now.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky in New York was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping with water.
Luke arrived in New Jersey in a used Ford that he bought with cash.
Walking to a two-story building, he took out the key and walked in.
After inspecting the facilities here, he nodded with satisfaction.
This is a house that he renovated by a decoration company through an intermediary.
It's a suitable location as it's some distance from the Hudson River and not too crowded.
Most of the facilities in the house had already been prepared by the decoration company's staff last night. He simply took out various equipment and materials from the storage space and quickly installed the necessary equipment in the house.
It only took him more than an hour to do all this.
Looking at the drizzle outside the window and the gloomy sky, he input the basic program of the butterfly into the central control in the house and sent it a message, asking it to notify Stacy and the twin sisters to come to the new base in New Jersey.
The basic training for those three has entered the second month, but they have no complaints. It is time for them to start a new life.
After changing his clothes in the house, Luke left.
He drove back to the New Jersey River bank opposite his house and made a phone call: "I'm here."
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Go 500 meters northeast, Harim Waste Treatment Plant, we are there."
Luke hung up the phone and turned the car away.
A few minutes later, Luke was walking through the piles of various garbage, clicking his tongue in his heart.
This meeting place is indeed very movie-like! If it were anyone else, they would definitely suspect that the other party chose this place to meet in order to kill someone and silence them.
Walking to a pile of abandoned cars, he twitched his nose, looked up at the large garbage crusher not far away, and asked, "Are you still busy?"
"Haha, you're here, V." A childish female voice sounded.
Along with the sound, a small figure wearing a purple wig nimbly emerged from the crusher's control room, grabbed the steel pipes on both sides of the stairs, and slid down with a swish.
Luke looked at the still short stature and was a little speechless: "You don't seem to have grown much, Mindy."
The purple-haired little loli Mindy on the opposite side was originally very happy, but she was immediately shocked when she heard this: "Hey, I've grown an inch taller, okay!" She even gestured on her head with her hand, indicating that the progress was obvious.
Luke: ...With this growth efficiency, it seems you should be more worried about the future!
He dropped the topic. At present, although Mindy's figure has not grown rapidly, it has not developed horizontally either. This is the greatest luck.
It would be a tragedy if she only gained weight but not height, and turned into a pretty, muscular tomboy in a few years.
"Where's your father?" he asked.
Mindy pointed to the crusher's control room. "He's processing the garbage."
Luke said, "Oh!" and casually took out a box and handed it to her: "Long time no see, I'll give you a small gift."
Mindy immediately became happy: "Thank you."
She took the box, opened it, and took out a few thin objects from the box in astonishment. She looked at them and asked, "What are these?"
Luke: "An additional protective shell for the titanium phone. There are seven colors in total, so you can have a different good mood every day of the week."
Mindy thought about the picture in her mind and found it very interesting. "Yeah, although they are simple, they are interesting enough. Thank you."
As the two were talking, Damon's dark figure came down from the control room.
But he was not as rough as Mindy. He climbed down obediently, walked to Luke and stood in front of him, extending his hand: "Long time no see, V."
Luke shook hands with him and said with a smile, "I hope I didn't disturb you from doing your work?" He had smelled blood just now, and it was obvious that the "garbage" that Damon cleaned up was a person.
Damon chuckled and turned to look at the crushed car that the crusher had spit out. "It's okay. I was just finishing up when you called. I can only let you go here."
After a pause, he continued, "You said you had something to talk to us about. What was it?"
Luke: "I think you may be one of the people in New York who knows the latest situation of the illegal drug gangs in New York."
Damon wasn't too surprised.
When he and the mysterious V met for the first time, they both set their sights on the hideout of a drug-selling gang and almost teamed up to commit a crime.
Although it is unclear what V has been doing during this period, this is not the first time that the other party has asked for this kind of information.
