The next morning.

The conference room of the 1st Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Department.

At nine: five in the morning, Susan held a situation summary meeting on time.

Xiao Hei glanced around, "Where are Raymond and Jenny? Why aren't they here?"

Susan said, "They went to trace the whereabouts of the murderer?"

"Wow...what did I miss?" Xiao Hei said in surprise.

In order to avoid suspicion, Xiao Hei did not participate in the arrest and interrogation of Pali last night.

Luke also did not attend Pally's trial.

Both of them got off work early.

The people responsible for interrogating Pari are the deputy team and David.

Raymond, Matthew, and Jenny are investigating the whereabouts of the murderer.

Susan said, "Deputy team, tell me about the progress of yesterday's interrogation."

The deputy cleared his throat and said, "We reached a plea agreement with Parry Jones, exempting her from the charge of obstructing law enforcement and only charging her with the crime of acquiring stolen property.

In addition, she also promised not to investigate or report on the murders related to Dracula's Bar.

Relevant evidence has also been handed over to the police for processing."

Xiao Hei spread his hands, "Is this the end?"

The deputy asked, "Then what are you going to do? Do you really think you can send her to jail with just a business card?"

Let's be more realistic.

Luke, you can catch people, what do you think?"

"I have no objection." Luke said calmly.

The police investigation of Parry Jones was not to send her to jail, but to prove that she had secretly violated the law while interviewing and investigating the Dracula Bar murder, which affected the police investigation to a certain extent.

In that way, the police can naturally confiscate the video obtained by Parry Jones through illegal means.

To put it bluntly, I just don’t want horrific vampire killings to appear in the news.

Judging from the results, the police's purpose has been achieved.

Xiao Hei asked, "Does Pari Jones know that the business card is stolen goods?"

The deputy asked, "Can you print other people's business cards?"

“Why should I print someone else’s business card?”

The deputy said, "That's alright. Since it is a business card belonging to the deceased, it must have been obtained from the crime scene. As a reporter, how could she not even understand such a simple truth?

It was not unfair at all for the police to arrest him.”

The gangster asked, "What about the charge of obstructing law enforcement? Did Parry Jones warn Meigher not to send the video to the police?"

The deputy captain smiled and said, "You don't look very smart."

Xiao Hei rolled his eyes, "You annoying bad old man."

The deputy asked, "Why are you scolding me?"

"You scolded me first."

The deputy said, "I was just commenting on your appearance truthfully."

The little gangster said, "I think you are just scolding me."

The deputy team leader snapped his fingers, "You see, the same sentence will have different meanings if understood from different angles."

The deputy looked at Luke aside and said the same thing, "You don't look very smart."

Luke smiled, "No one here is smarter than me."

The deputy team leader looked at Xiao Hei, "The same words have different effects when spoken to different people.

You are angry, Luke is indifferent.

Even if the same sentence is spoken by one person, let alone two people holding different opinions."

The deputy shrugged and continued,

"In actual investigations, suspects will try their best to give confessions that are favorable to themselves. If there is evidence, it will naturally be based on evidence, but some details are difficult to judge.

Whoever cooperates with the police will be more likely to accept his confession.

They were very smart, they all understood what I meant, and they all reached a plea agreement with the police.

Plea deal favorable to police.

This is enough."

Susan clapped her hands and said, "Red will really like your efficiency in handling the case, which has saved the police department a lot of overtime and funds." Then, Susan changed the subject, "Now let's talk about the clues to the murderer."

Matthew said, "After they went to the TV station to arrest someone last night, Raymond and I started to check the surveillance of the murder. The murderer had his back turned to the driving recorder when he committed the crime.

We investigated the surveillance in the bar lobby, but due to the light and shooting angle, the video was not very clear. We could only see that the suspect was a white man.

Identify based on height, clothing, gestures, and shoes.

We check the surveillance around the bar.

The murderer fled the scene immediately after committing the crime and was found by roadside surveillance to get into a taxi.

Raymond and Jenny went to the taxi company to investigate the driver who was soliciting passengers nearby at that time. I believe there will be news soon."

David said, "I have also seen the surveillance video of the murder. The murderer jumped out of the back door of the bar, threw himself down and bit the victim. What was his motive?"

Xiao Hei said, "Could it be a prank?"

Luke thought for a while and replied, "It's probably not a prank. Although the wound on the deceased's neck was not fatal, it was not serious and there was a lot of blood.

This is not like any ordinary prank."

Xiao Hei brought up old things again, "Could it really be..."

Although Xiao Hei didn't say anything, everyone seemed to understand what he wanted to say.

David said disdainfully, "Bullshit, I don't believe there is such a thing."

Luke said, "I heard that there is a vampire syndrome, also called aphrodisiac.

It is a blood disorder that manifests as photosensitivity dermatitis, abdominal pain, and neuropsychiatric disorders.

This disease is most afraid of sunlight exposure, and many patients often live in relatively dark places."

Xiao Hei widened his eyes and asked, "Does this kind of patient need blood for treatment?"

Luke shook his head, "The treatment for this disease is mainly bloodletting. However, as the disease becomes more serious, patients will develop psychological disorders, leading to mental abnormalities. They believe that they must drink human blood to recover from this disease."

, but in fact human blood will not help the body in any way.

It can only make them more twisted, depressed and desperate."

Xiao Hei boldly guessed, "In other words, this disease is probably the origin of vampires."

"I think this explanation is more believable than vampires." The deputy nodded and continued, "I suggest that we investigate people with related diseases, and maybe we can find some clues."

Susan thought for a while and said, "Matthew, please check the relevant situation."

"I see."

"Buzz..." Susan's cell phone rang.

Susan clicked on the voice video and said, "Raymon, how's your investigation going?"

Raymond was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, "We found out the whereabouts of the 'vampire' at the taxi company. At 9:35 pm, the suspect got on the bus from Dracula Bar.

Around 9:50, we got off the bus at La Marymount University.

This guy should be a student of the school."

Susan praised, "Good, you go to the university now to investigate, and I will send people to support you."

“Yes,.“

…

After the meeting, David and Xiao Hei also rushed to Marymount University to provide support.

Luke didn't go. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out clearly for a while.

He was not idle even when he stayed. He sat on a chair and silently sorted out his thoughts on the case, and made a criminal psychological profile of the suspect.

Judging from the current circumstances of the case, the suspect is likely to be a murderer.

The preparation before the operation was not sufficient, which is why it was photographed by a parked vehicle.

But on the other hand, if the murderer selects his victims at random, the investigation will be more difficult.

Regardless of what state the murderer was in before committing the murder, he should have been in a relatively sober state after the murder, as can be seen from the fact that he ran away directly.

If Luke were the murderer, he would not run directly back to his home or the place where he lives, but could run to a place where he could easily escape.

University is a good choice. It is a large area, crowded with people, and it is dark. It is easy to escape tracking by changing clothes.

Here comes the problem.

Is the suspect really a student at La Marymount University, or did he deliberately lead the police there to interfere with the police's investigation.

Luke couldn't tell.

It's all possible.

Since Raymond and others have already gone to the university to investigate, one more person is not too much, and one person less than him is not a lot.
