Chapter 71 Administrative Leave
Luke and Harris watched the ambulance carrying Shirley go away.
Harris said to Luke:
"It's really all thanks to you this time."
Luke said calmly:
"We did this together. Don't let the media report me."
Harris smiled and nodded and said:
"I know, don't worry."
The forensic department's evidence collection process also takes a long time. They need evidence that the suspect kidnapped Shirley and imprisoned her.
The gray car used to kidnap Shirley was found in the backyard.
Luke's gun was also registered by the forensic department.
It was already afternoon when Luke arrived here.
After Harris finished his work, he took Luke to the hospital.
The media have left, and now only Shirley's family is left.
When Harris brought Luke to the ward, Shirley's stepfather Carl was the first to come out to thank Harris and Luke.
Especially Luke, Carl held Luke's hand and cried bitterly.
While thanking Luke, he told him about the pressure he had been experiencing recently.
After Shirley disappeared, the police also suspected that he, the stepfather, had ordered someone to kidnap Shirley.
But when Collins and his team were investigating, they even used a lie detector when questioning Carl.
Although Carl was cleared of suspicion, there are still many people who doubt and blame him.
After all, Shirley was kidnapped right under his nose.
Luke couldn't say anything, that's human nature.
Seeing a grown man in his thirties crying, I could only pat him on the shoulder helplessly.
When I walked into the ward, Shirley was lying on the bed sleeping.
But you look much better, and the 250 points for saving your life are still very useful.
Medical staff performed a full body examination on Shirley and found that except for malnutrition, all other indicators were normal.
Not abused, not violated.
Harris and Shirley's parents talked about the follow-up of the case.
After learning that it was Luke who rescued Shirley and killed the criminal, he expressed his gratitude again.
Luke could only smile and comfort:
"The best news is that Shirley is safe. The bureau will arrange for a child psychologist to counsel Shirley. Everything will be fine."
After Harris explained some more things, he took Luke away.
At the hospital entrance, Harris said to Luke:
"There will be a press conference tomorrow morning, mainly to report on the case. If you don't want to be in the spotlight, go on vacation."
Luke nodded and said:
"Okay, I just want to take a few days off. Do you have any particularly difficult cases?"
Harris smiled and said to Luke:
"You solved the most urgent case. If those people can't handle the remaining cases well, they should stop working in the FBI."
Luke nodded and said goodbye to Harris.
"Then I'll go back for vacation. Call me if you have anything."
Looking at his watch, Luke felt that there would be no food to eat if he went back home at this time, so he just found a fast food restaurant to get a bite.
When they got home, the sisters were watching TV in the living room while Elsa was cutting fruit for them in the kitchen.
Luke looked at Natasha, who was still a little reserved sitting on the sofa, and said:
"Hey Lisa, how are you today?"
Angela immediately said to Luke:
"Elsa took Lisa to do some shopping today. We came back early this afternoon to help her decorate her room."
When Natasha saw Luke coming back, she smiled and responded to him:
"I had a good day today. I was very happy."
Beth said to Angela and Natasha:
"How about we celebrate tonight and have a pajama party in your room."
Seeing Natasha looking at Beth with a silly expression, Luke wanted to laugh.
This was definitely not taught in the Red House, but this kind of thing could promote friendship between girls, so Luke didn't stop it.
Back in his room, Luke opened the system panel.
This time, Shirley's rescue incident only gave 800 order points, and now Luke's total points have reached 2 points.
However, the progress of the technique increased by 1%.
Luke looked at the panel and finally clicked the lottery button.
"Ding~ Do you want to spend 1 Order Points to participate in the lottery?"
"Yes~"
"Ding~ You have new items, please check."
Instead of checking the items, Luke clicked the lottery button again.
The sense of satisfaction from consumption and the joy from opening blind boxes occupied Luke's mind.
The first item is a golden apple.
Item Name: Golden Apple
Item Description: After consumption, the knowledge stored inside can be obtained.
Luke looked at the golden apple in his hand, which was not even as big as his fist, in confusion.
Is this something to eat? After much hesitation, Luke still ate it anyway.
Mm, full of apple flavor, sweet and sour.
Then Luke felt dizzy.
Luke tried hard to stay awake, but his eyelids were getting heavier.
Finally, before Luke fell down, he complained: This is not a golden apple, it's a knockout drug, right?
An hour later, Luke opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.
Master, are you making fun of me?
I was given a method to create artificial intelligence, but I was not given a method to create hardware.
This golden apple gave Luke all the artificial intelligence manufacturing technology.
With the current level of human hardware, we can only create basic artificial intelligence.
Advanced artificial intelligence like the Kree's highest intelligence requires terrifying hardware facilities.
The Kree people originally gathered all the good things they plundered from all over the universe to create the highest wisdom.
Sighing, Luke clicked on another item.
Item Name: WALL 2.0
Item description: A robot with a soul, remade with vibranium and nanometal, with an internal cabin connected to the dimensional space.
Luke in his previous life had never seen that movie, so he didn't know what this robot did.
So Luke got up, quietly drove away from home and returned to his ocean view villa in Malibu.
Coming to the underground tool room, Luke took out Wall-E.
A square metal box less than 30 cm in size, khaki in color, with a matte paint finish.
Although it is a square, it is easy to distinguish the front and back.
There is a small rectangular display screen on the upper part of the front, with the words "WALL-2.0" on the lower part.
On the back is an arc-shaped protrusion that occupies the entire back, and there is an arc-shaped hollow extending from the top, like a handle, which is just right for picking up this small thing.
Putting it on the tool bench, Luke was still thinking about how to start this little guy.
Then he was surprised to see the lid of the "box" quietly rise up, revealing two "big eyes" looking at Luke.
Luke was a little overwhelmed by the cuteness of this "little guy".
He smiled, pointed at himself and said:
"Hi, my name is Luke, Luke Qin."
The little guy raised his "head" and looked at Luke. He extended a mechanical arm from the side and pointed at the word WALL in front of his body.
Luke understood, then nodded and said:
"can you speak?"
Wall-E moved its "big eyes", and then Luke heard a prompt sound that was obviously a computer error.
A red X symbol appeared on the display screen on Wall-E's chest.
Luke nodded again, but complained in his heart: It’s made of vibranium, why not install a voice device?
And so Luke spent the entire night chatting with Wall-E in this way.
But I did understand Wall-E's basic situation.
The hatch on Wall-E's chest can be opened.
Looking inside, you can see the internal structure of a normal metal box.
But it can hold things. Not too big ones. But as long as they can fit in, they can be recycled by Wall-E into its own dimension.
