A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Rachel took out the FBI badge that Panning had just given her and handed it to Luke: "This is what Panning gave me when he came over. He said it was also found in the ruins. This is the badge you sent back home when you didn't go home."

Luke frowned slightly as he looked at the badge in Rachel's hand.

next second.

Luke gave a soft "hmm" and took the badge Rachel handed him.

In the intensive care unit.

Lorna Dane, lying in her hospital bed wearing a breathing mask, seemed to be sleeping soundly, the sounds of the medical equipment playing like a concerto in her ears, seemingly unable to disturb her sweet dreams.

It couldn't disturb Luke, who was sitting on a chair to the side, playing with the FBI badge in his hand.

This is the FBI badge that Rachel said she dug out of the rubble just now when we finished eating at the hospital cafeteria.

The badge is genuine.

no doubt.

This was confirmed by Pan Ning and then by Lu Ke.

The weight of a genuine federal badge is significantly different from that of a counterfeit badge, and almost every federal agent can accurately distinguish between them.

There's just one problem.

This federal emblem...

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 had Vince track the Dane family for almost half a month and confirmed that they were truly innocent bystanders, the sudden appearance of this Federation badge would have been enough to give him reason to kill again.

But if the Dane family was truly innocently implicated, how do you explain this Federation badge unearthed from the ruins?

Also, what exactly happened last night?

Lu Ke thought about it curiously.

He suddenly thought of something.

It seems that unlocking the abilities of mutants is similar to unlocking genetic locks.

These abilities are triggered when faced with a fatal threat or a life-or-death situation, thereby unlocking their genetic locks or awakening their mutant abilities.

This is why mutant awakening often occurs during adolescence.

In a word.

This is the Federation.

This is a federation with a strong history of school bullying.

In this situation, boys and girls with the X gene are very likely to awaken their mutant abilities when they encounter school bullying.

Did someone break into the Dane house last night, intending to bully the Dane couple, which resulted in Lorna Dane losing control of her emotions, awakening her mutant abilities, and then blowing up the entire MULE community?

Or……

Was the person who went to Dane's house last night an FBI agent?

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

They even parachuted in a deputy director specifically for this purpose.

Although the deputy director won't be arriving in Los Angeles for a few days.

But what if this is just a smokescreen?

For example, on the surface, they might send a deputy director who says he won't arrive for a few days, but in reality, they've already sent a trusted agent from Washington to come and investigate.

After all, it's Washington, D.C.

Federal political center.

Their methods are not to be underestimated.

Luke looked at the Federal Badge in his palm, the surface of which was almost completely melted. He touched it, then took out his phone from his pocket, got up from his chair, and walked to the window of the ward.

after awhile.

Debbie, who was at the station, answered the phone.

"God, boss, are you alright?"

"good."

Luke accepted Debbie's exclamation and concern, which seemed to link him to God, and casually asked, "Have you found the surveillance footage of the Mill community?"

Debbie shook her head: "The surveillance system in the Mill community was reported for repair more than ten days ago, but Orange County has not had the budget, so it has not been approved."

Don't be fooled by the fact that Los Angeles has surveillance cameras; they're practically everywhere in the city.

However, of these surveillance cameras, five out of ten are broken, and the other four are waiting in line for approval of installation or repair costs.

The remaining good monitoring system, which is still running, may also fail to capture the crime scene for various reasons.

This time is no exception.

"Damn the monitoring center, there's a surveillance camera across the street in the community that was installed half a month ago, but they didn't set up automatic backup."

Debbie complained on the phone, then said, "But don't worry, boss, I'm checking the surveillance footage near the Mill community and comparing the vehicles and pedestrians that appear in the footage. If there are any suspicious vehicles or pedestrians, I'll let you know as soon as possible."

Luke nodded and then asked about the exhumation of bodies in the Mil community.

"Thirty-two identifiable bodies were unearthed at the scene. After confirmation, they were all undoubtedly residents of the Mil community. The remaining bodies that could not be easily identified have been sent to the forensic office, and our forensic doctors have also gone there to assist. Currently, among those unidentifiable bodies, through confirmation of dental records, five more residents of the Mil community have been identified."

"understood."

Luke nodded, making a move to hang up the phone, then seemed to remember something.

"and many more."

"Boss."

"How's the situation at the Dane family ruins?"

"Boss."

Debbie opened her mouth, seemingly reluctant to speak.

Knowing that Debbie thought she might not be able to handle it, Luke said directly, "It's okay, just say it. I'm already mentally prepared."

Debbie thought for a moment, then could only sigh.

"Ok."

"Five sets of remains were excavated from the ruins of the Dane family home and, after being examined by forensic experts, were found."

"Two of them, we just received news from the forensic office, that through comparison with dental records, the identities of two of them have been confirmed as Victoria Dane and Susanna Dane."

After Debbie finished speaking, she was very cautious.

"Boss, please accept my condolences."

"I like to tell others to take it easy."

"...Boss."

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

Lu Ke interrupted him directly.

"You just said you confirmed five bodies in the ruins of the Dane family?"

"Correct."

"Are there still three unidentified remains?"

"Correct."

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

No need to think about it.

Those three remains, plus the federal badge found at the scene, basically mean they're gone.

This must be a covert operation by Washington, sending them here to investigate this agent who made significant contributions to the Bill Kings case.

Whoever benefits is the most suspicious.

This is the most basic logic.

Who could blame him for making a fortune from the death of Bill Kings?

It's perfectly normal for Bill Kings' uncle, who is also his father, to suspect him.

Luke's thoughts raced as he listened to the door open, turned to look at Rachel walking in, and ended his call with Debbie.

"Notify me immediately if you have any news."

"Okay, old..."

Luke hung up the phone and looked at Rachel as she walked in: "So fast? Didn't I tell you to go home and rest?"

After he and Rachel finished eating at the hospital cafeteria, Luke saw that Rachel, who had been with him almost all night and was quite tired, told her to go back and rest.

Anyway, Rachel has nothing to do here.

Rachel, carrying a suit she'd brought from home, walked up to Luke, sniffed him, and said, "I brought you your clothes. You haven't slept all night, you smell bad. Go take a shower."

Because Lorna Dane is the sister of the Deputy Chief of Operations at the FBI's Los Angeles field office.

natural.

The intensive care unit where Lorna was located was also a VIP suite.

As Luke listened to Rachel's words, he lowered his head and sniffed himself.

"Does it smell?"

"Yes, it stinks."
