Without wasting any time, Luke asked, "Are there any signs of drug abuse?"
The nurse shook her head. "I don't think so. There are no old needle marks on her arm, and no illegal drugs have been detected in her body for now. "
Luke asked, "Any external injuries? Scratches, beatings, knife wounds, etc. "
The nurse said, "Basically none."
"Are there any signs of a violation?" Luke asked again.
The nurse's face turned ugly. "Her undergarments are intact, but …"
Luke and Selina waited quietly for the nurse to continue.
"But her undergarments don't look like something an underage girl would wear," the nurse said. "Also, they aren't cheap. They cost at least five hundred dollars."
Luke looked at Selina, asking her if she had heard of this brand.
Selina nodded slightly in response, indicating that it was indeed that expensive.
Luke finally nodded. "I'll call the SVU over right away. The forensics team will come to collect evidence later. Please tell the doctor not to clean her up for now."
The nurse said, "Okay."
Luke said, "We'll follow up on this case. We might need to consult you later. May I know how to address you?"
"Christina Palmer, emergency department nurse," the nurse said and went back to work.
They called the SVU and handed the case over to them. They then urged the forensics team to come and collect evidence, and finally left the hospital at two in the afternoon.
The girl might have had an unfortunate experience, but in New York, a metropolis of eight million people, there were a lot of people who had similar experiences.
It was already a great fortune for her to be rescued in one piece.
There were thousands of similar cases in the SVU, and Luke and Selina couldn't handle all of them.
Looking at the gloomy weather, Selina stretched. "It feels like it's going to rain. I feel sleepy."
Luke said, "You can stay at home with Gold Nugget in the afternoon and do some research. I'm going out to do something."
Selina asked, "What is it?"
Luke said, "I'm going to make arrangements for the three problem girls, and I'm going to visit an 'old friend.'"
Hearing the emphasis on "old friend," Selina didn't ask any more questions.
Luke really didn't have any old friends here. It was more likely that they were "professionals" he knew in the past, or enemies. That wasn't the right time to discuss it.
At five o 'clock in the afternoon, the sky in New York was so gloomy that it looked like it was about to drip water.
Luke drove a secondhand Ford that he had bought with cash to New Jersey.
Arriving at a two-story building, he took out a key and walked in.
After inspecting the facilities here, he nodded with satisfaction.
This was a house that he had commissioned a renovation company to complete through an intermediary.
This place was some distance from the Hudson River, and there were not that many people there. It was a suitable location.
Most of the facilities in the house had already been installed by the renovation company last night. He only took out various equipment and materials from his inventory and quickly installed the necessary equipment in the house.
It only took him a little more than an hour to finish all of this.
Looking at the light rain outside the window and the gloomy sky, he entered Butterfly's basic program into the central control in the house and sent it a message, asking it to inform Stacy and the twins to come to the new base in New Jersey.
The three of them were in their second month of basic training, but they had no complaints. It was time for them to start a new life.
After changing his clothes, Luke left the house.
Driving back to the shore of the New Jersey River opposite his house, he made a call. "I'm here."
A man's voice rang out on the other end of the line. "Five hundred meters northeast, Harim Garbage Disposal. We're there."
Luke hung up the phone and turned the car around.
A few minutes later, Luke clicked his tongue inwardly as he weaved through the mountains of garbage.
This meeting place was really like a movie! If it were anyone else, they would definitely suspect that the other party had chosen this place to silence them.
Walking over to a pile of abandoned cars, Luke's nose twitched, and he raised his head to look at the large garbage crusher not far away. "Still busy?"
"Haha, you're here, V." A young female voice rang out.
With this voice, a small figure in a purple wig nimbly crawled out of the control room of the garbage crusher. She grabbed the steel pipes on either side of the stairs and slid down.
Looking at the still short figure, Luke was lost for words. "You don't seem to have grown much! Mindy. "
The purple-haired loli, Mindy, who was originally very happy, was immediately dealt a heavy blow when she heard this. "Hey, I've already grown an inch taller, okay?" She even gestured with her palm above her head, indicating that the progress was obvious.
Luke was lost for words. With this growth rate, you should be more worried about the future!
He gave up on the topic. From the looks of it, while Mindy's figure wasn't growing rapidly, it wasn't growing horizontally either. That was already her greatest fortune.
If she just put on weight and didn't grow taller, it would be a tragedy if she turned into a strong and muscular woman in a few years.
"Where's your dad?" he asked.
Mindy pointed at the control room of the garbage crusher. "He's taking care of the garbage."
Luke hummed in acknowledgment and took out a box for her. "Long time no see. Here's a small gift for you."
Mindy was instantly delighted. "Thank you."
She took the box and opened it. She was stunned to take out a few thin things from the box. As she examined them, she asked, "What's this?"
Luke said, "An additional protective case for the Titanium phone. There are seven colors in total. You'll be in a different mood every day of the week. "
Mindy pictured the scene in her head and found it very interesting. "Hm, they're very simple, but interesting enough. Thank you."
As they spoke, Damon's black figure came down from the control room.
But he wasn't as crude as Mindy. He obediently climbed down and stood in front of Luke. He stretched out his hand. "Long time no see, V."
Luke shook hands with him and said with a smile, "I didn't interrupt your work, did I?" He had smelled blood just now. Clearly, the "garbage" that Damon was cleaning up was a person.
Damon chuckled and turned to look at the flattened car that the garbage crusher had spat out. "It's fine. I was just finishing up when you called, so this is as far as I can go."
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "You said you were looking for us. What is it?"
Luke said, "I think you're one of the people in New York who knows the most about the drug trafficking gangs in New York."
Damon wasn't too surprised.
The first time he and this mysterious V met, both of them had set their sights on a drug trafficking gang's nest at the same time. It could be considered a partnership.
Although he didn't know what V had been up to recently, it wasn't the first time V had asked for this kind of information.
