Volume 2 "Vampire" Visit Chapter 2 Mysterious Wound

  Lü Cong and others entered the villa, a servant came up: "Are you police officers from the fourth criminal investigation team? A female police officer asked me to tell you that all participants in the party have not left the scene, waiting for your inquiry. The crime scene is on the second floor, she asked me to take you upstairs."

  "Female police officer? Is he talking about Captain Xu?" Liu He whispered in Chen Chen's ear.

  Chen Chen also looked suspicious: "I think so, but how does Captain Xu always manage to arrive at the crime scene before us?"

  Liu He rubbed his chin: "The BMW is just faster than the police car!"

  Li Kexin walked at the end, stretched out his hands and made a strong push on the waists of the two people. Liu He and Chen Chen had painful expressions but didn't dare to make a sound, turned their heads and saw Li Kexin's triumphant expression, could only secretly curse their bad luck.

  As the crowd walked up the stairs, they indeed saw a woman standing at the door of the room on the right side. Her black off-the-shoulder evening gown set off her fair skin, her long hair was piled high, and the sparkling diamond necklace made her slender neck even more elegant. Her makeup was subtle and understated, yet amidst its beauty, there was an air of restraint.

  Liu He was taken aback for a moment, then looked around strangely: "Where's Captain Xu?"

  Chen Chen kicked him hard and at the same time Li Kexin also stretched out his hand to hit his head: "Are you stupid? Isn't that Captain Xu?"

  "What? How can Xu's team be so tall..." Liu He's words trailed off as he saw the shoes on Xu Nuo's feet, which had a heel of almost ten centimeters.

  Xu Nu reluctantly moved his ankle, feeling a bit uncomfortable about appearing in front of his colleagues in this state. He forced a smile and briefed Lv Cong on the situation before the body was discovered, then said: "That's roughly what happened. When I arrived, Liu Ruying had just found the deceased and hadn't touched the body yet. I didn't bring gloves, so I came out with her to wait for you all. The police from the local station have already searched the second and third floors and haven't found any suspicious individuals."

  At this time, Wang Fa Yi brought a young man upstairs: "Little Lü, why are you running so fast? My old bones can't keep up with you! Oh, let me introduce you, this is Xiao Zhang, who has just been assigned to the forensic department. I'll be in charge of him from now on, and you'll probably be interacting with each other often."

  The young man with a neat short haircut took off his mask and gave everyone a bright smile: "Hello, my name is Zhang Xinyue. You can call me Little Zhang or Little Yue. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

  "It's hard to tell she's a girl if she doesn't smile." Liu He muttered in the corner, "Ahh... oh dear, Ke Xin, don't get upset, I wasn't talking about you..."

  "Hurry up and take a picture, it doesn't matter if the person is male or female!" Li Kexin calmly lifted her foot which was heavily stepping on Liu He.

  "Yes, madam!" Liu He hastily grabbed his camera and ran into the scene of the case.

  Xu Nu slightly frowned, perhaps because she was too rigid herself, and couldn't get used to their joking and ease at the scene of the crime, maybe they had seen too much and learned how to mix it up.

  Lü Cong also followed Wang Fa and Zhang Xinyue into the study, which was not very large. The two sides of the wall were lined with tall red wood bookshelves that reached the top of the house, where various books on history, business, and other subjects were neatly arranged. On the opposite side of the door was a window, in front of which was a desk with several stacks of documents and an LCD monitor. The window was open, and the night wind blew the curtains back and forth, fluttering them constantly around the body, set off by the cold moonlight, making it look particularly eerie.

  "Huh? Why isn't the light on?" Liu He fiddled with the switch a few times, but the light still didn't turn on.

  "It seems to be broken, it wasn't lit before you came." Xu Nu stood at the door and shrank his neck, although it was already May, but in W City, a northern city, the night wind between the mountains was still a bit chilly.

  At this time a coat was draped over Xu Nu's shoulder, she turned her head and said: "Dad, how did you get here?"

  Xu Jinhong said: "I originally wanted to take a look at Lao Yan, but I saw you standing in the wind wearing so little. You're so big now and still don't know how to take care of yourself."

  Xu Nu wrinkled her nose, but didn't see Lü Cong's hand holding the police uniform already stretched out. Lü Cong awkwardly withdrew his hand with the police uniform, and all of this was seen by Zhang Xinyue standing beside them.

  At this time, Wang forensic suddenly called out: "Little Lü, Little Xü, you come and take a look."

  The two walked closer and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. On the left side of Xin's neck, there were two circular holes about 3 cm apart, with blood congealed into blackness. Xunuo subconsciously blurted out: "Vampire?"

  "How is that possible, Officer Xu? Get it straight, we're investigating a case, not filming a ghost movie." Zhang Xinyue said with a hint of sarcasm.

  Xu Nu looked at her in surprise, and Li Ke Xin glanced at Zhang Xinyue and said: "Indeed a vampire, you come see this."

  A few people turned around to see Li Kexin pick up a note from under Xun's body with tweezers. In the upper left corner was a side silhouette of a man wearing a top hat, and on it was written: "The Vampire Judgment Book: The bright full moon shines into the corners, the red rose dances lightly in the evening wind, and the hidden evil has nowhere to hide. The lord's hatred finally erupts, the prince issues a hunting order, and the enforcer stretches out his pale palm. Those who betray the discipline will receive the most severe punishment." At the end was a red rose and the word "Ventrue".

  Lü Cong also furrowed his brow, and at this moment his mobile phone suddenly rang: "Hello, Criminal Investigation Team 4 Lü Cong. Oh, Deputy Director Yu, yes, we are already at the scene of the crime, yes, Dr. Wang is examining the body, right, we will go back and report to you immediately, okay!"

  Hanging up the phone, Lü Cōng took over Li Kěxīn's note that had already been put into an evidence bag. With one hand on his chin and the other rubbing his lower jaw, he asked: "What does this mean?"

  "The Ventrue are one of the thirteen clans of vampires and leaders of the Camarilla, primarily responsible for enforcing and overseeing the Traditions."

  "What is precept?" Dr. Wang suddenly interrupted.

  "The full name is 'Kamariel's Six Laws', which are similar to laws promulgated by the vampire secret society, namely: Secrecy, Dominion, Progeny, Responsibility, Guest Respect, and Filial Piety." Xu Nu wanted to continue explaining, but when she looked up, she found that everyone was staring at her with a gaze as if they were looking at a rare animal.

  "Who says detectives can't like watching vampire movies?" Xu Nuo felt a little embarrassed, but still forced himself to say.

  Zhang Xinyue disdainfully curled her lip.
