A car drove quickly through Mission Hill and passed the hospital where Joshua once stayed. After driving not far, it stopped on the side of the road.
"Master, would he really hide in a place like this?"
Fei Chi looked out the car window, "There's a church over there, and it's not far from the hospital where he stayed before. This place isn't too remote, so he can be found easily, right?"
"It was dark under the lights," Chi Feichi looked at the buildings on the left side of the street. "He left the hospital at night. It was not until the next morning that the hospital discovered that he was missing. He was never found. Later, the hospital called the police and told
The church, the police and the church started looking for him, and it's easy to ignore a place like this because by the time they wanted to come, one night was enough for Joshua to be far away, and the police are now considering the possibility that he might have been killed by someone else."
"Is it possible that he was really killed?" Feimo asked.
"Yes," Chi Feichi said, "but putting aside the possibility of him being killed, he might be hiding here. In that case, the murderer was shot dead on the spot because he resisted when he was arrested. After the case was closed, there was
There are many doubts, such as where the murderer's weapon was purchased. The police have never obtained the corresponding testimony. Moreover, judging from the old photos, the deceased was stabbed to death by a spear nailed to the ground, but there were a large number of lacerations on his body, and the scene
The blood left in the room does not match the amount of bleeding between the two people..."
"The murderer received the blood?" Feimo smacked his lips.
When human beings become distorted, it is terrifying.
"The police also judged this way, and also did a blood reaction test at his home." Chi Feichi paused, "No, except for the room at the crime scene, there was no blood reaction anywhere or on any container, so the police guessed,
He spoke directly..."
Feimo: "..."
Fei Chi was confused, "What's wrong with talking directly?"
Feimo: "Feichi, shut up."
"Pay attention to a few details."
Chi Fei did not compete with the two pets for a long time and continued to analyze.
"In the photos we looked at before, there was a photo of a study room. There were some books about vampires on the bookcase. From the book covers, you can see that the books were turned. The books that were barely turned were some books about vampires that were reckless and vulgar.
The ones that have been flipped more frequently are ‘The Vampyre’, ‘Carmil’, and ‘Dracu’.”
"These three books are classics."
""The Vampyre" was written by the personal physician of a British poet in 1819. In the book, the protagonist of the vampire was transformed from a murderous corpse into the image of a British aristocrat."
""Carmil" is a novella written by a British weird writer from 1971 to 1972. The female vampire protagonist in the book is described as beautiful and full of charm."
"'Dracu', Dracula, is a Gothic horror novel written by an Irish writer in 1897. The protagonist Dracula in the book is a gentle, elegant and decent gentleman. This is also the basis for many vampire film and television adaptations."
"The second detail is that there is a set of traditional Romanian costumes on the collection shelf. Romania has always been a place with the most complex vampire superstitions. In "Dracula", Dracula's residence is also in Transylvania, Romania.
Nia, and in the description of the case, the two victims had nails driven into their heads. This is an old Romanian custom to prevent the deceased from turning into a vampire, which means that he went to Romania specifically."
"The third detail, judging from the introduction on the post, the murderer was also a very successful businessman. Looking at the situation in all the photos, the room is very tidy, things are placed very carefully, and the clothes in the wardrobe are ironed without any wrinkles.
, the decoration has a retro charm, and even the crime scene does not have too much messy blood stains. The photo was taken after the place was abandoned, and the condition of the body was not photographed. However, there was only a little blood left on the ground under the spear at the crime scene.
, other places are too clean.”
"Coupled with the fact that the murderer used puncture to kill, it can be roughly seen that this is a person who pays great attention to the quality of life after losing his brain and worships elegant vampires, especially Dracula."
Chi Feichi concluded, "It's hard to believe that such a person would speak directly, especially since I heard that the two deceased... were both homeless."
This case was also a representative example of the madness. That year in Boston, the vampire-related culture was also attacked to a certain extent.
It's really hard to explain this kind of thing. Some people just watch some works for fun, while a very small number of people just become snake spirits.
However, people are also good at forgetting. This case was only discussed for a while that year. Later, the popularity was replaced by various cases, and related posts almost sank to the bottom of the sea.
If he hadn't been patient enough to search, he really wouldn't have been able to find the details of this case.
"The blood and the things containing blood..." Fei Mo tilted his head and thought, "Did he throw them away? No, if the murderer really worshiped vampires fervently, he probably wouldn't have thrown them away..."
"There is a place in this house that the police have not discovered, which may be a secret room," Chi Feichi concluded. "After the murder occurred here, Joshua once came here on behalf of the church. He may have discovered the secret room left by the previous owner.
Secret room."
"It's dark under the lamp again, and it's the mystery of the case a few years ago. It's really not easy for Joshua to think so much." Fei Mo looked at Chi Feichi, "But, Master, could this be your position?"
What choice would Joshua make from his standpoint? In fact, he didn’t think so much and ran away long ago..."
"No, I won't make this choice. There is no food to hide here, and I have to go out. If I go out, I will be discovered. If I want to run away, I will choose to leave here early, even if the police will target me based on taxi information and other information.
Where to go, but just find a remote place and walk around a few times, and try to get rid of it. Moreover, Joshua did not commit any serious crime, he just said some remarks that the church did not like. He can completely change places. After being found by the police,
Just say that you want to live a peaceful life and retire in that small place." Chi Feichi looked at the building complex, "I judged that he was here because the police did not find any clues that he left Boston, and he has never been taught
Found, the church searched other places very strictly. If he is in other places, it is very likely that he has been found. Those places can be eliminated, only here..."
"Without food, would he have died?" Feimo asked.
Chi Feichi opened the car window, "Then you have to go and take a look."
"Master, aren't you coming with me?" Fei Mo said awkwardly, "I don't know human language, so I can't communicate."
"No wonder you insisted on letting me send you here..."
Chi Feichi is not very interested in this kind of pretense, and as a human being, his appearance may destroy the mystery, but he is willing to help Feimo when necessary.
"Okay, let's go take a look first and find the hidden place."
Chi Feichi made a decision, and without further delay, he went to the trunk of the car to find a black robe and mask, put them on and walked into the alley.
…
There were not many residents near the old house, and there was not a single soul on the street late at night.
Under the dim street lights, melted snow dripped from the eaves and walls, and from time to time a sharp and piercing cat meow could be heard in the distance. Not only did it not bring any life to the place, it made it look even more eerie.
Chi Feichi walked through the unlocked gate, looked up at a car parked in the courtyard, and approached quietly.
There is still heat left on the car hood...
There are no signs of cars repeatedly coming in and out of the yard...
It’s not the godfather’s car, nor is it a car that a 60-year-old would choose. There are still hanging ornaments in the car from a popular band in Boston five or six years ago...
There are small black gravels stuck on the wheels...
The sun marks on the car, the slight scratches on the rear of the car, the mud on the fenders, the distance between the car seats, the faint smell coming from the car, the stains under the rear windshield...
A male guest who is about 30 years old, visiting for the first time, and just arrived from the port beach...
"Master," Fei Chi, who was hiding under the black robe to keep warm, revealed directly, "There is someone in the attic, not under the triangular point of the roof, but under the sloped roof on the right. It seems that during the design, the top of the room below was specially pulled down.
Some, leaving a space for, well… two people.”
"A guest is here." Chi Feichi left the car and walked toward the house. He repeated Feichi's words to Feimo in a very soft voice.
Feimo consciously flew into the air and circled around the top of the house, trying to find a place where he could observe the situation inside first.
Chi Feichi raised his head and looked at the layout of the roof. He stretched out his black robe and gestured to Feimo in the air.
chimney.
…
In the chimney leading to the fireplace on the third floor, there is a wooden ladder leaning crookedly.
The wall tiles in the middle section were removed, and a small space inside was lit with weak candlelight.
When you enter the door, there is a large and complex pattern made of black and white bricks on the floor.
The wall was filled with tools stained with black stains and rust, as well as some biscuits and bread with relatively new packaging, and two small long black boxes.
Near the corner, Joshua, who had gray hair and was still wearing a hospital gown, was kneeling on the ground, looking down at the ground motionless, like a sculpture. Only the weak rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.
A middle-aged man in a black robe stood with his back to the door. He put down his hat and had a tough face full of anger. He looked around boredly, "Father, it's really hard for you to find this place."
"You also found this place." Joshua still didn't move, "And I'm not a priest anymore."
"I wanted to go around Mission Mountain. I was passing by here and I followed you when I saw you." The middle-aged man walked to the wall and looked at the two long black boxes. "Consider my proposal, Joshua."
, you were able to get the bomb by yourself, or when you were being searched everywhere by those outside, I admire your ability, and you are looking for this thing, don’t you have the same purpose as us? The pagans outside are really disgusting.
After all, we should send them to hell and accept..."
"Is Belial your god?" Joshua suddenly asked.
The middle-aged man was stunned and said, "No, our god is Satan, and there is only Satan."
Joshua couldn't help but glance up at the man, his eyes focused on the large white pattern of an inverted cross on the man's black robe.
Middle-aged man: "..."
He didn't know why, but he saw...contempt in Joshua's glance?
Just as Joshua was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of a crow at the door from the corner of his vision, and was suddenly stunned.
The crow had jet-black feathers with bluish gleams, and its scarlet eyes looked at them with a careful look that only humans can have. Furthermore, it stopped right in the middle of the pattern at the door!
While he was stunned, the crow tilted its head and looked at him, flapped its wings and flew out, then flew up the chimney.
"Joshua?" The middle-aged man saw Joshua suddenly turning his head to stare at the door. He turned his head in confusion and heard the flapping of wings, "What is it..."
