The little tail named Dora secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound. After saying "Follow me", he didn't dare to look at Quins and turned around to lead the way.
Arriving in front of a wooden door on the second floor, Dora pushed the wooden door ajar, lowered her head and did not dare to stay one more step, and exited the second floor.
Pushing open the wooden door, Quins walked in calmly. He was not worried about any ambush inside. Even if there was one, he would always be prepared.
The furnishings in the room are very monotonous, with a table, two chairs, a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses.
Sitting behind the table was a man with a bald head and two guards standing behind him.
Seeing Quins come in, the iron-faced bald man stood up and said, "Sir, please sit down."
Quins was not polite and walked directly across from the bald head. He looked at the bald head with an incomprehensible expression: "Sir? How can you be sure that I am an adult?"
The bald man said with a slight reserve on his face: "Sir, don't be ridiculous. Although I am in the underworld, I still know some secret things. In fact, I didn't expect that there will be a visit from the investigation department. If it happens in a few days,
If you don't ask, I will temporarily move to another place to avoid it."
"You actually guessed that I came from the Investigation Department?"
The bald man smiled bitterly: "The royal secret guards don't bother to come to such a barren place, and the Third Intelligence Division doesn't bother to take care of it even if it knows about it. Only the Investigation Department..."
Quins didn't expect the bald man to say these words, so he couldn't help but ask: "I didn't know your name?"
The bald man stood up and poured a glass of wine for Quins, with a hint of respect in his movements: "My name is Bert Gary, and I am the boss of the Black Hand Gang."
"The Black Hand Gang?" Quins murmured subconsciously. Of course he had never heard of such a small gang. Even the famous big gang in Taopaphi was not familiar to him: "Since you have heard about it,
You should be able to guess the purpose of my coming to you."
Bert Gary replied: "Yes, and the other homicide case was also reported to the police by my men."
"Oh? Why?" Quins was a little surprised. According to the gang's logic, no matter what problem was solved, there would be no option to call the police.
Bert Gary sighed, "Just because I heard something, I know that I can't solve this murder that happened on my territory. Of course, you can say let things continue as they are, it doesn't matter to me.
It won't affect me. But I don't think so. When something happens, it will inevitably affect all aspects. If the situation is allowed to develop, there is no guarantee that the people behind it will kill us all in order to ensure that the secret is not discovered.
Kill him. Or, if things continue to develop, something weird will be born. In this case, we will all die."
Quins looked at Bert Gary with strange eyes: "You have very clear thoughts and ideas. I'm wondering why you are just the boss of a small gang now."
Bert Gary: "No, this is not surprising at all. Expansion without strength guarantee is just looking for death. I once... I almost..."
Quins nodded: "Understood." The man in front of him is a man with stories and experiences that ordinary people don't have. For some unknown reason, he hid in Taopaphi and lived a life of "being rich and content". If he was like Uncle
Like Tejili, you may have similar thoughts to him. There are too many unknowns in this world, and your own strength is always the first priority.
After taking a deep look at Bert Gary, Quins had some ideas in his mind, but it still remains to be seen: "Okay, enough gossip, I need clues."
Bert Gary nodded: "I only found out about the first murder case after the fact. I went to survey the scene as soon as possible after I had suspicions. However, the scene was almost destroyed at that time, so no clues were found. And the second murder case
In the third murder case, after I specifically instructed my men, I rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and the scene was also kept in good condition."
"The most important clue is that judging from the bodies of the two boys, they were not drained of blood."
Quince: "Not sucked dry?"
"Yes," Bert Gary glanced at Quins and said, "If it is some kind of blood-sucking creature, a large amount of blood must be concentrated in a certain outlet. This feature is very obvious on the corpse, but I found it in two corpses.
We didn’t see any on the corpses, their blood looked more like..."
Bert Gary thought for a while, sorted out his words and said: "It's more like something was taken out of the body through the pores in an instant."
"Bring it out of the pores in an instant?" Quins thought thoughtfully, thinking about some secret technique or strange object.
Burt Gary: "I think this method can only be used at night."
"Oh? How come you can see that?"
"Because all three cases occurred at night."
Quins shook his head: "Because of this? Do you want to know how likely all murders are to be committed at night?"
Bert Gary: "So did you see the bodies of the three boys?"
Quins was silent. In the information, the bodies of the three boys were marked as missing. Who would take the bodies? This was one of the reasons why Quins insisted on finding the local gang.
Bert Gary: "I don't have the bodies of boys here, because at dawn, all the boys who were sucked into mummies turned into powder, right in front of me."
"What?" Quins looked at Bert Gary: "Turn into powder? You didn't lie?"
Bert Gary shook his head firmly: "I swear in the name of the Lord of Winter that I didn't lie."
Lord of Winter? Quins took a deep look at Bert Gary. This is a famous evil god, but the main place of worship of the Lord of Winter is in the Neo-Ottoman Empire, which is not far away from Taopafi.
.Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are believers of the Lord of Winter among Taopaphi.
This is interesting, the body turns into ashes.
"So if you judge from this, the prerequisite for the boy's blood being sucked dry is night."
Bert Gary nodded.
"Your idea is very likely." Quins agreed: "Apart from these, is there anything else?"
Bert Gary: "The final clue is that the traces all around are normal traces."
"Normal traces?" Quins' face moved slightly: "You mean there are no traces of the murderer?"
Bert Gary nodded: "Yes, not at all."
"I understand."
"There are no other clues."
Quins stood up and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your answer."
Bert Gary responded: "Sir, walk slowly."
Quins took a deep look at Bert Gary, moved his fingers slightly, and the mark of witchcraft was already imprinted on Bert Gary. He was interested in this guy who was more like a policeman than a gang boss. If possible,
He wanted to try to develop him into his informant. If he could take it one step further and develop him into a subordinate... let's talk about it. Quins secretly thought to himself that it seemed necessary to develop an informant because he was unfamiliar with the place. As for the candidate,
Gang boss, isn't this better? One informant can be used as dozens of informants. But this matter needs further observation.
After walking out of the tavern, Quins went back to his cabin without any further delay this time.
When I came back, Buddy was already back.
Buddy: "How was it? Did you gain anything?"
Quins: 'It's a great gain, but you may be doing nothing.'
"How to say?"
Quins didn't waste any time and directly told the story of how he met Bert Gary in the Black Hand Gang.
Buddy touched his chin: "If what the man named Bert Gary said is true, the possibility of being a vampire has been reduced to a minimum. Instead, this is more like the work of an extraordinary person who practices vampire secrets."
Quins agreed: "That's what I thought."
Buddy: "It's a bit difficult. Do you know which vampire faction's secrets can cause such an effect?"
Quince shook his head. Although he could query the Book of Endlessness, at most it was just some secret introductions, and it was impossible to view specific introductions such as the effects of secret techniques.
Buddy: "Without a clear target, it's impossible to identify the murderer. And with the frequency with which the murderer kills, he will commit another crime within a day or two."
Quins frowned: "Now we can only use the stupidest method, station directly at the Black Hand Gang. The murderer will not expect that the Investigation Department will get the information so quickly, and we can catch him off guard."
"That's it. Without further ado, we'll go there today and we'll take turns guarding the place in the evening."
