Luke's treatment was special because he had killed one of the terrorists.
The man who was hit in the eye socket by the table knife was killed on the spot. He died a cold death.
Luke wasn't scared.
This guy was one of the two people who had bombs on him. Luke wouldn't be held responsible for killing him.
The other person with a bomb was the one whose face had been dented by Damon.
After Damon, the middle-aged man in business class, was knocked out, the father and daughter took action immediately.
When Luke killed one of the bomb carriers with a throwing knife, and when Luke's father knocked out another bomb carrier, the little girl had thrown the middle-aged man's Nokia phone out from behind the curtain.
The phone, which weighed more than half a kilogram, successfully knocked out the last terrorist.
Both Luke and Damon broke out in a cold sweat after that.
That phone had been the second detonator, and the first detonator had been on the person who had been knocked out by the Nokia phone.
It was safe to say that Mindy had taken care of the two detonators in one fell swoop.
Of course, it was also safe to say that she was the one who hadn't detonated the bomb.
The FBI investigators were mainly concerned about how Luke had been able to detect the bombs on the terrorists.
Luke had used a very metaphysical reason: intuition.
Why was he able to sense the presence of the five of them? Why was he even able to sense the commander in business class?
Luke had also said intuition.
It didn't matter if the FBI believed him or not, since Luke hadn't done anything wrong.
The man he had stabbed to death with a knife had a bomb on him. It wasn't illegal for Luke to do anything about it.
This was probably the reason why Mindy didn't kill him with a flying knife. After she threw out the brick phone, the table knife in her other hand was ready to strike at any time.
Thanks to the LAPD's endorsement and the FBI's confirmation of Luke's information, he was finally freed three days later.
He wasn't a suspect in those three days, but was only cooperating with the investigation.
He was in a pretty good mood during those three days.
That was because he had received a system notification after the plane landed and all the passengers had left.
Mission: Stop the hijacking, stop the terrorists from detonating the bombs, and rescue the passengers. Completed.
Total experience: 5,000. Total credit: 5,000.
Contribution rate: 70%. EXP + 3,500. Credit + 3,500.
As experience has reached 5,000, the host has leveled up to level 8.
Remaining basic points: 4.
Even with such a generous reward, Luke felt that it would be best if he didn't encounter such a thing again.
If he wasn't careful, he'd be game over as well! This was too exciting.
At that moment, he and Elsa boarded a plane to New York again, and Luke couldn't help but sigh in relief. "It's finally over."
Elsa couldn't help asking, "Are you really relying on intuition?"
Luke chuckled and didn't answer the question. Instead, he said solemnly, "Thank you, Elsa."
Elsa was stunned for a moment before she smiled bitterly. "No need. You're my partner, after all."
Luke hummed a response, and felt a lot better about Elsa.
At the very least, when he was investigated by the FBI, Elsa didn't try to protect herself. She even tried to defend him and even asked Dustin to endorse him.
It was hard to say exactly how useful he had been. After all, the FBI was investigating Luke, and a mere captain of the Major Crimes Division of the Westside Los Angeles Police Department wasn't important at all.
However, he still had to remember this favor.
Luke felt that with such a partner and boss, he would be much more comfortable in Los Angeles than in Houston.
The plane landed at JFK Airport three hours later. They left the airport and took a taxi.
The driver was a black woman. Luke couldn't tell how old she was; she might be thirty or forty.
The taxi was very new, and the driver, who was wearing a green tracksuit, was a good driver too. She navigated the traffic with ease.
Luke chatted casually with the talkative black driver for a while, and praised the taxi and her driving skills, which made the driver very happy.
Before they got out, Luke asked for the driver's card.
After all, he might have to use a car on this case. Sometimes, a taxi driver was more useful than a car.
After the driver drove away, Elsa looked at him strangely. "If I hadn't met Selina before, I would've thought that you were interested in the driver."
Luke was speechless. "Elsa, didn't you notice that the driver was very familiar with New York?"
Elsa didn't think it a big deal. "Why would she drive a taxi if she wasn't familiar with New York?"
Luke followed her with his suitcase. "Hehe. Don't forget that she used to be a delivery girl, and that she's kept the record for the fastest delivery time."
Elsa said, "Oh, huh? Wait, are you saying … "
Luke chuckled. "In any industry, those who can stand at the top have their own strengths. If she wasn't very familiar with this place, how could she have kept the record for the fastest delivery time? She's more familiar with New York than a regular taxi driver. "
Elsa said, "Fine, you have a point. But what's the point? "
Luke said, "Just in case. Maybe we'll need a driver who doesn't work for NYPD this time? "
Elsa couldn't help but stop and stare at Luke for a few seconds, before she finally sighed. "You're right. Those who were successful always had something special about them. I've been wondering why you were able to take care of the terrorists for the past two days. I've thought about the situation again and again, and there's no solution at all. But you were able to find the father and daughter and take care of the terrorists perfectly. Now that I think about it, maybe that's your talent. You're always paying attention to things that are useful to you. "
"I'll be shy if you praise me like that." Luke smiled. How can I tell people that I have a cheat code?
Elsa shook her head with a smile. "Alright, give me a card too. Don't think I didn't see that you wanted two cards. "
Luke gave her one of the driver's cards with a smile.
Elsa looked at it and said, "Bell? The number is xxxxx. That's it? It doesn't even have a full name. "
Luke smiled mysteriously.
Elsa noticed it. "Is there a problem?"
Luke said, "If my guess is correct, it's very likely that this female driver is willing to take on illegal jobs, like street racing in the city."
Elsa was lost for words. "… How do you know that?"
Luke said, "She said that she likes street racing. Then, I paid special attention to her license plate, and noticed that there seemed to be some sort of mechanism there. "
Elsa was lost for words. "… She can change her license plate at any time?"
Luke chuckled. "Hehe."
They chatted all the way to the NYPD.
