That group of thugs who beat up Chou Feng should be hired by your father Shao Hui, right?"

  Shao Mei Yun didn't say a word, which Gu Han Hao had already anticipated. He continued to talk to himself, "When did Ou Feng come back to find you? Did he become a vampire when he came back?"

  Shao Mei Yun stubbornly covered her ears and turned her head away.

  "Was it he who suggested killing your father? Because if your father finds out you're still in contact, he'll just try to kill him again."

  Shao Mei Yun finally reacted, "It's not him, it's me. I want to be with him, I want to be with him forever. He originally wanted to elope with me, but we didn't have any money, we couldn't make a living."

  "Can't help but sneer, 'Isn't he a vampire? Still worried about money?'"

  Sha Mei Yun slammed her hand on the table, "Without money, where would there be blood? Without blood, Ou Feng will die! Ou Feng is very kind-hearted, he can't bring himself to harm innocent people and suck their fresh blood, he only buys it from the blood bank."

  Gu Hanhao nodded solemnly, making a soothing gesture to calm down Shao Meiyan. "I understand, so you're saying that you suggested finding someone to kill your father, which would prevent anyone from stopping you two from being together, and since you inherited the estate, there will be enough blood supply for Chou Feng?"

  Just as Shao Mei Yun was about to speak, a police officer knocked on the door and came in, "Captain Gu, Shao Mei Yun's lawyer is here."

  The police officer's voice had barely fallen when a middle-aged man walked in and sat down beside Shao Meiyan, "Miss Shao, from now on you don't have to say anything. I'll take you back soon. Captain Gu, do you have any more questions?"

  Gu Hanhao couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You want her to keep silent and yet ask me if I have any questions? Alright, I still have one last question. Who is Ou Feng's accomplice? Is it this lawyer?"

  Gu Hanhao paused for a moment, and saw that the lawyer's face changed color in an instant, but Shao Meiyan didn't react much.

  "Is it still your Dr. Huo?" Gu Hanhao almost spat out one word at a time.

  Sha Mei Yun blinked and turned her head to look at the lawyer, who shook his head at her.

  "So it's that uncle who rushed back from abroad?" Gu Hanhao still stared tightly at Shao Meiyan's face, trying to find the answer in her expression.

  The lawyer stood up, "Captain Gu, are there any other questions? If not, my client wants to leave. You also know that her physical condition is not good, and your big fanfare will only worsen her illness."

  Gu Hanhao made a polite gesture and then saw the two of them out.

  Ling Lan walked into the interrogation room and sat down opposite Gu Han, "This observation experiment seems to be not very successful, you didn't filter out that target person from Shao Meiyan's facial expressions, did you?"

  Gu Hanhao sighed and nodded in agreement, "However, it can be confirmed that one of these three people must be Ou Feng's accomplice. Because after the case was exposed, Shao Meiyan only saw these three people."

  "There's also Li Wenzong, Shao Mei Yun and he live under the same roof." Ling Lan reminded, "And what makes you think that the person Shao Mei Yun saw is Ou Feng's accomplice?"

  "Just this." Gu Hanhao pulled out a small bottle from his pocket, the kind used to hold contact lenses, but instead of being transparent, it was filled with a thick, bright red liquid.

  Ling Lan blinked her curious big eyes staring at the little red bottle, "Is it blood? Where did you get it from?"

  "Inside Shao Hui's coffin." Gu Hanhao said as he walked out of the interrogation room, calling over a police officer to take the bottle for testing. "Give it to Shi Rou and have her compare it with the victim's blood type. Tell her I want the results tonight."

  Ling Lan followed behind him, eagerly asking, "Are you saying that there's Shaohui's blood in Shaohui's coffin? How is that possible? Who put it in there? And when did you take it out?"

  Gu Hanhao turned around with a smile, facing Ling Lan, and pointed to the tea room on the other side of the corridor with his eyes. "If you want to know the answer, go make me a cup of coffee, I'll wait for you in my office."

  Ling Lan pouted and walked towards the tea room with a sense of discontent in her heart.

  Ling Lan twisted open the instant coffee can while thinking, next time she must find out something before Gu Hanyu does, if Gu Hanyu asks her a question, she will ask to drink milk tea.

  "Ling Lan? It's so late, why haven't you gone back yet?" a clear voice rang out.

  Ling Lan looked up to see that it was Qu Xiang, the lively and lovely policewoman in uniform. She couldn't help but complain, "Yeah, I feel like I haven't had a good night's sleep for ages. Being a police officer is really tough."

  Qu Xiang smiled slyly and said, "You've been staying here for several days now, do you know what everyone calls you behind your back?"

  "What?" Ling Lan suddenly became excited, she had a premonition that it was definitely not good.

  "They all said you were Captain Gu's personal assistant. It seems they were right, and here you are, making coffee for Captain Gu."

  "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not his assistant, just...” Ling Lan was at a loss for words. She and Gu HanHao's relationship was hard to put into words. "Never mind, if they say anything else about me, please tell me."

  Qū Qíng mysteriously winked his left eye, "Don't worry, if there's a chance, you should also speak well of me in front of Gu Duì."

  Ling Lan returned to the office and found Liu Fan and Yuan Jun were also there. She sullenly placed the coffee in front of Gu Hanhao, thinking that she had lost face in front of Yuan Jun and Liu Fan.

  "How about it, did Cui Qiang give you any useful leads?" Gu Hanhao asked Yuan Jun and Liu Fan after taking a sip of his coffee.

  Liu Fan quickly replied, "Welcome to Jiupin Literature! You can enter our website by searching 'Jiupin Literature' on any search engine. We provide free and high-quality downloads in txt format without pop-up ads!" Cui Qiang said that he had once encountered someone with the username "Avenger" online. This Avenger seemed to be very concerned about the "Red Sacrifice Alliance", often posting negative comments on their website's message board. For a period of time, Cui Qiang had to delete his posts every day.

  "What's wrong?" Gu Hanhao asked, although he was asking Liu Fan, but didn't look at her, and instead carelessly looked at Ling Lan, "It's too sweet, how many sugar cubes did you put in?"

  Ling Lan didn't respond, she could see that Gu HanHao was still holding a grudge against Liu Fan and Yuan Jun, he was doing it on purpose. This Gu HanHao sometimes really seemed like a vengeful child.

  Yuan Jun continued, "They were all saying things like the alliance was ignorant of the heavens and the earth, that they would provoke the true vampires. The most important thing is that Cui Qiang said this avenger seemed to be very clear about their inside story, and also knew that Shao Hui was their backer."

  Ling Lan interrupted, "It seems that this avenger is likely to be Qiu Feng. No, no, Qiu Feng has no reason to do so, and doing so would easily expose himself. This avenger should be Shao Mei Yun, she wants to intimidate these people and disband the alliance."

  "How did you come up with this idea?" Gu Hanhao seemed very interested in this statement.

  "Shao Mei Yun had known all along that the Alliance was founded by her father, and she wanted it to disband because she couldn't bear to let her father spend more money on her, or perhaps, she thought the existence of the Alliance was an insult to the true vampire, Ou Feng."

  Liu Fan and Yuan Jun did not know what the two people were talking about, nor did they know who Qiu Feng was. Just as they were about to ask, they were stopped by Gu Hanhao's gesture.

  "I think it's the first one, she can't bear to let Shao Rui spend money on her and work hard for her. Shao Mei Yun has feelings for Shao Rui, this is not difficult to see. If it wasn't like that, she wouldn't have put the blood that Shao Rui lost at the murder scene into the coffin in the living room."

  "How did you know that Shao Mei Yun put Shao Bi's blood in the coffin?" Ling Lan repeated the question he had just asked before getting coffee.

  "Let's start from the beginning. When I first entered the Shao family living room, I noticed the coffin was not placed quite right, it was tilted at an angle of about 5 degrees."

  When Ling Lan heard "5 degrees", she secretly despised Gu Han in her heart, able to see the 5-degree tilt, Gu Han was really perverted.

  "At that time, I became interested in this coffin. Later, I found a small palm print on the edge of the coffin lid. The size of the palm print showed that it was from a girl. The only girl in the Shao family was Shao Mei Yun, so she must have tried to push the coffin when Li Wen Dong was not around."

  Liu Fan chimed in, "Is it because Shao Mei Yun wants to lie down and taste the thrill of being a vampire?"

  Gu Hanhao looked at Liu Fan's expression as if he was the teacher and Liu Fan was a student who had answered a question incorrectly. "I just said that Shao Meiyan has feelings for Shao Bei, she wouldn't have such thoughts, and my later discovery also confirmed that her purpose in pushing the coffin lid was not about this. From a daughter's perspective, even if she had to participate in the plan to harm her father for some reason, she would still feel some sadness and guilt inside. So I think she wouldn't allow her accomplice to throw away that part of Shao Bei's blood. She pushed the coffin lid to put Shao Bei's blood in it because his body couldn't be buried on time, so she wanted to personally pay respects to her father's blood. Of course, this was just a bold idea I had at the time. When I found out that after the case broke, Shao Meiyan only met with three people she was very familiar with and didn't show any resistance, I made an inference that one of these three people brought back Shao Bei's blood according to Shao Meiyan's strong request, and this person is A Chong's accomplice. To verify my inference, I specifically asked Li Wenzhen how big the bags were when the three visitors went to the Shao residence, because the lost blood was about 2.5 liters, which would require a large enough bag to carry."

  "What's the result? Whose bag can hold 2.5 liters of blood?" Ling Lan asked with some urgency as she saw Gu Hanyu bowing his head to drink coffee at this critical moment.

  Gu Hanhao put down his cup, "According to Li Wenzhong's words, all three of them brought packages that could hold 2.5 liters. To verify whether my guess was correct or not, I deliberately sent Li Wenzhong away and had you all wait for me by the car. I went back to the Shao family's bathroom to remove my makeup, but that white foundation was really hard to wash off, so it took a bit longer. Then I prepared a small bottle of beautiful pupil drops, went to the living room, pushed open the coffin... and found only an exquisite large flower vase inside. But inside the flower vase was a large transparent glass jar, sealed with thick dark red liquid."

  Ling Lan suddenly felt desolate, for Shao Mei Yun this girl, "She hid Shao Hui's blood in the flower vase, when Shao Hui's body was placed in the coffin, she could say that this was Shao Hui's favorite flower vase before his death, and wanted the flower vase to accompany Shao Hui into the coffin."

  "To answer your second question just now, why Li Wenzhong is not suspected..."

  Ling Lan interrupted Gu Hanhao, "Because if Li Wenzhong was an accomplice, he would have anticipated that Shao Meiyan hid the blood in the coffin and it's impossible for him not to notice the tilt of the coffin, let alone the palm print of Shao Meiyan on top."
