Chapter 6524
The Charismatic Charlie Wade
Duncan said, âItâs a pity that Miss Lin didnât join the police.â
âWhat this industry lacks most is talents like you.â
However, he also knew that Mariaâs identity was mysterious and she must have a great background.
It was definitely not someone he could persuade,
So he didnât say anything more about this issue, but simply said,
âThe method Miss Lin just mentioned should be very reliable.â
âI will arrange for the technicians to try it hard.â
âIf it works, it will also be of great help to the criminal investigation of police around the world.â
Duncan added, âHowever, this requires too much computing power and is too expensive, so it is probably difficult to popularize.â
âBut we have sufficient computing power,â
âSo it should be no problem to monitor and warn a certain group of people.â
Maria said, âThe speed at which computers have improved in recent years can be said to be like the Big Bang of the universe.â
âMaybe the computing power problem will be solved in a few years.â
âThat makes sense.â
Duncan smiled and said,
âI wonât worry about my colleagues all over the world.â
âI believe that it wonât be long before the computing power they can allocate will increase exponentially.â
Then he said, âIf there is nothing else, I will hurry up and implement Miss Linâs idea and try to put it into use as quickly as possible!â
Marven looked at Maria and gave her a thumbs up, then said to Duncan,
âOkay, Inspector Li, you go ahead,â
âAnd weâll contact you if we have anything.â
After hanging up the phone, Marven couldnât help asking Maria,
âMs. Lin, Inspector Li recommended a university major for you.â
âYou wouldnât have already studied it, right?â
Maria has lived for so many years and has obtained countless degrees.
Itâs not surprising that she studied criminology when she had nothing to do.
When she heard Marvenâs question, she smiled and said,
âI have studied it at school, but not in my major.â
After that, she explained in detail,
âThe UCI that Inspector Li mentioned is the University of California, Irvine.â
âThe predecessor of the University of California was called California College.â
âI was the first Chinese student of California College.â
Marven nodded as if he hadnât expected it, and said with a smile,
âI guessed that you must have some connection with this school.â
After that, he asked her, âBy the way,â
âIn which year did you study at that California College?â
Maria thought for a long time, and said uncertainly,
âItâs been a while, and I donât remember it very clearly,â
âBut it was before the Civil War,â
âBecause I left North America after the Civil War broke out.â
After saying that, she said hesitantly,
âIt should be 1854 or 1855â¦â
Marven couldnât help coughing twice, and said awkwardly,
âAhem⦠I knew this would have happened a long time ago,â
âBut I didnât expect it to be so far back in the pastâ¦â
Maria smiled and said, âAlthough you think itâs a long time ago,â
âEven at that time, I was already more than 200 years old.â
âIt was also around that time that many state universities were established in the United States.â
âI was really bored, so I applied to some schools to study.â
âBecause my appearance has not changed,â
âI dare not study in college for too long.â
âI could only finish the courses as quickly as possible,â
âAnd then move to the next place and find the next university,â
âJust as a kind of entertainment on the way to escape.â
Speaking of this, Maria said: âBy the way, there is a group photo of the first batch of students and teachers in the historical archives of this school.â
âI am in it, but the photo is too old and the clarity is not enough.â
âI guess you wonât recognize me after seeing it.â
Marven searched the university website with curiosity.
In the introduction of the website history, he found the group photo of the earliest batch of students.
The photo from more than 100 years ago has long been blurred and yellowed,
But he still found Mariaâs figure among many men dressed in Western clothes.
Maria in the photo looks quite thin, and the overall tone of the photo is yellow,
Which looks a bit like an Indian girl.
He was able to recognize her because she said she was there,
Otherwise, just looking at the photo, he really couldnât tell.
After carefully looking at the group photo,
He asked her in surprise: âIt seems that there are only a few female students in this school.â
âYes.â Maria said: âIn that era, men and women were still very unequal.â
âWomenâs social status was not very high,â
âAnd they were not valued by their families.â
âThere were indeed only a few who could go to university.â
As she spoke, she came over to take a look and pointed to one of the middle-aged white men and said to Marven:
âThis was a very prestigious professor in the school at the time, and one of the co-founders of the university,â
âBut in fact, he was an orphan adopted and raised by my family in the UK.â
âWhen I brought him from the UK to North America, my public identity became his adopted daughter.â
âWhen I later went to Japan, it was he who wrote the recommendation for me allowing me to go to Japan and study there.â
Marven couldnât help but sigh: âYour life is so colorful.â
Maria smiled and said: âYoung Master is destined to be able to seek immortality in the future,â
âAnd then you can also experience that kind of colorful life.â
Marven shook his head and said: âSociety is progressing too fast.â
âEven if I live forever and donât have to hide from Victoria like you did in the past,â
âI will have to try my best to hide from the whole world at that time.â
âIt is no longer possible to travel around the world with different identities and integrate into the life of these places as you did in the past.â
