It was already afternoon when Wells returned to the police station, and he had other work to deal with. It was not just the case of the Scotts, there were all kinds of crimes in this city, and they all needed the police to solve them.
"Mr. Wells, you are finally back! In tracking the batch of drugs some time ago, the informant said that the ringleader has been identified and we are ready to close the net."
"Mr. Wells! This is the investigation report that just arrived today and needs your signature."
Wells rubbed his somewhat swollen head and said, "Put them all in my office."
"Mr. Wells, please, please wait a moment." The person who stopped him was the police officer who went to the hospital with him last time to take notes for Lilina. Wells still had the memory and remembered that the other party handed it to him.
A cigarette.
"What's wrong?"
"It's like this. I said before that the person handling the case of Mr. and Mrs. Skart has arrived in the afternoon. The director originally planned to ask you to pick him up at the airport, but because he couldn't contact you, he has already sent someone."
"Well, is there anything else?" Wells waited for the other party's next words.
The young police officer was a little embarrassed and said with a shy face: "The chief said he wants you to go to his office when you come back..."
Wells knew he couldn't escape, and he thought with his buttocks to know what the director would say to him. When Wells arrived at the director's room, the fat director inside had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Hey, Wells, you still know that when you come back, you leave a lot of cases to deal with, but you want to take care of something that is not yours. Do you have too much time to spare, or have you stopped taking care of me?
You take it so seriously that you think you can do whatever you want?" The fat director sat on the fine leather sofa and looked at Wells as if he was interrogating a prisoner.
Wells' expression remained unchanged, his eyes met with the fat director's, and he said: "I don't dare, I will listen carefully to the director's instructions."
"Yes, you will listen carefully, but whether you do it or not is another matter!" The fat director said in a weird voice, his whole body heaving together like a pinball. Every time he saw the director angry, Wells would
I find it very interesting.
Later, the fat director suppressed his temper and softened his tone a lot: "Listen Wells, I know you are not convinced, and I am not convinced either. The superiors took over the case from us without saying a word, and it was indeed very unfair.
But we have no choice, after all, it is not easy for us to suppress people to death if they are higher up."
"Director, don't you have any idea about this case?" Wells said suddenly.
"What do you mean?"
"Director, don't you think the cause of death of Mr. and Mrs. Scutt is too bizarre? The clues and footprints we found in the wooden house can confirm that Mr. Scutt was not killed by an ordinary animal. The autopsy report shows that the person who killed Mr. Scutt
The animal has a huge mouth and wants to eat half of a person's body from top to bottom. It is at least two meters tall, and the black liquid we found in the forest has 60% of unknown substances in the test results. At the same time
, Lilina Skater did not
To be honest, from the analysis of the footprints in the forest, she was chased by some kind of huge creature. This may be explained by the fact that the forest was too dark to see clearly, but after being attacked, Lilina obviously struggled for a while.
During the process, she must have clearly seen the full picture of the animal chasing her, but in the transcript she insisted that she was attacked by a wolf." Wells sneered, "Although it was a primeval forest
, but I’m sure there’s no wolf inside…”
"That's enough!" the fat director shouted.
Wells quickly shut up, realizing that he had said too much.
"It seems you didn't listen to what I talked to you about last time. I originally thought you wouldn't investigate this case again!"
Listening to the director's tone, Wells secretly thought, "It's not good. The director is really angry."
"I have decided that you should just rest at home for a while now! Your case bureau will be handed over to other people to handle, and after a while, after your heated brain has calmed down, I will let you come back to work!"
"But Director!" Wells couldn't accept this punishment.
"Nothing to worry about, just put your gun and police badge here, and you can just take a break at home!"
In this way, Wells was suspended and returned home disappointed, and his wife Bena had already prepared dinner to reward her husband after a hard day outside. Poor Bena, she didn't know her husband yet.
Recently I have been spying on other women like a stalker.
"Wow, Bena, what kind of festival makes you cook so many dishes today?" Wells brushed off the bad luck outside and did not bring those bad emotions into the home.
However, before he could pick up a ham, his wife slapped him aside with her hand. Bena said: "You haven't come back yet and you are so anxious to take action?"
After hearing this, Wells asked strangely: "Is that brat coming back today?"
Beina rolled her eyes at him, "I said you work at work, but you don't even know you have a day off today?"
Only then did Wells react. He smiled and sat down at the dining table. "Not anymore. I may rest at home for a while recently." Beina, on the other hand, returned to the kitchen and continued to prepare the things she had not yet taken.
There was no food on the table, and Wells was chatting with him.
"Did something happen at the police station?" Beina asked casually.
"It's nothing, it's just that the fat man has too much to do." Wells waved his hand and suppressed his thoughts. Obviously, he didn't intend to stop investigating the case.
"I think he is also worried about you, afraid that you will get into too deep..." Beina thought for a while and said. "And this case may be very dangerous. Didn't you say that the death of the deceased was very miserable? If you go
I'm a little worried about the investigation..."
Bena slowly stopped her hand and looked at Wells worriedly.
Wells was stunned. Before that, he had been focusing on investigating the death of Mr. and Mrs. Scott, and completely forgot to care about his wife's feelings. "Bena, don't think too much, what can happen to me?"
The atmosphere was a little weird. Wells quickly changed the topic, intending to change the tense atmosphere, "By the way, we just captured a group of drug gangs a few days ago. Did you know that when we rushed in, that
A group of grown men actually engaged in sex. Although I am not discriminating against homosexuals, the scene really made me unable to eat. After all, they were like human centipedes at the time..."
"Yes, that's it..." Beina's voice sounded a little unnatural.
After a while, she seemed to have made a decision and said, "Wells, listen to me, I hope you will stop taking care of that case."
Wells was silent for a while, "You don't want me to intervene either..."
"Too dangerous!"
"Someone always needs to take risks," Wells said calmly.
"The person who can take risks doesn't have to be you!" Beina said loudly.
"It doesn't have to be my father!"
Beina was stunned after hearing this.
After Wells vented his emotions, he immediately regretted it. He comforted Bena and said, "I'm sorry, Bena. I didn't mean it. You know, my father's death had a great impact on me..."
"Yeah." Beina responded softly without saying anything, as if they never had much to talk about on this topic.
At this time, a young man walked in at the door and shouted to the two people in the kitchen: "Mom, Dad, I'm back."
At the same time, in the fat director's office, the young police officer looked at the gun and police badge on the fat director's desk and understood something keenly. He asked curiously: "Chief, why does Superintendent Wells care about this?"
Is this case so serious?”
"You should have heard that Wells' father once died in a gun battle with gangsters."
The little police officer nodded.
"Wells's father was not killed by a gangster's bullet. When my teammates and I arrived at the scene, half of the old Wells' body had a layer of skin torn off, and his death was very strange..."
Having reached the point, the fat director said nothing more, believing that this smart little police officer had already understood something.
Then he turned to the little police officer and asked, "Have you received the call?"
The young police officer replied neatly: "We have been picked up at the hotel."
"Well, you go back."
On the other side, in the hospital, Esther was sitting beside Lilina's bedside, talking to Minerva about various things in a friendly manner. From the looks of them, they looked like old friends who hadn't seen each other for several years.
"I have to say that Chanel's perfumes are really great. Although they didn't sell perfume at the beginning, both the exterior design and the content are impeccable. I like their jasmine scent the best. Do you know the flower language of jasmine?
Loyal, simple, and pure, but if you ask me, Lilina is more suitable..."
Esther spent most of the time listening to the side, smiling from time to time and saying something he knew, but it still made him feel dizzy. Even if he was a human in two lives, oh no, he was not a human in this life, but this didn't matter.
Influenced by his minimal understanding of women's products.
Lilina was sitting on the hospital bed with a look of despair on her face. She didn't know what kind of magic Esther cast to turn Minerva like this, but she knew that it wouldn't be long before Esther would live in an open and honest manner.
Come into their home.
"By the way, Esther, I heard that you just came back from China..."
Lilina complained crazily in her heart: Where did you hear that?
"I think you can come over to stay with Lilina and help enlighten her. You know her parents just..."
"No problem, I'm happy to."
"Thank you so much. I know you are more experienced in this area. When my uncle and aunt passed away...ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..." Minerva, who suddenly realized that her words were inappropriate, hurriedly
stop.
Esther waved his hand to show that he didn't care, "It's nothing, I know you don't mean that, don't worry, I will enlighten Lilina properly."
"..." Minerva suddenly fell silent.
Esther narrowed his eyes, looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"...No, I just thought that Esther is still the same as before." Minerva said as if sighing.
Esther smiled and did not answer.
Seeing that it was getting late, Minerva got up and prepared to go out and buy some food. She first asked Lilina: "Lilina, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll buy some."
"I don't care." Lilina shook her head.
"Okay, you gave me a difficult answer. What about Est? What do you want to eat?" She turned around and asked Est.
Esther thought for a while and replied: "Just like Lilina."
"You two are colluding, right?" Minerva pretended to be angry and put her hands on her waist. I have to say that Minerva is very beautiful, full of youthful vitality, and has a cheerful and lively personality.
Girls get along easily with boys and must have many suitors in school.
"Okay, okay, then I'll go buy some food. If you don't like it, don't blame me." After saying that, Minerva picked up her shoulder bag and went out.
After Minerva went out and they were the only two people left in the ward, Lilina finally spoke: "What did you do to Minerva?"
"It's nothing. Xiaoxiao added a memory I programmed in her mind. Although it's not my area of expertise, it seems to work pretty well," Esde said.
Before Lilina could say anything else, Esther said, "Let me ask you whatever else you want to ask. It just so happens that you have calmed down a little now."
Lilina was silent for a while, then asked knowingly: "What are you?"
"Vampire." Esther replied calmly. "Although those nobles have always called themselves vampires."
In fact, Lilina already had the answer in her heart. She was not a fool. How could she not feel the changes in her body? She wanted to drink blood and was sensitive to sunlight. Isn't this just like the legendary vampire? It's just that she
But she couldn't accept that she had become a monster, a blood-sucking monster. For a girl, this physical change was too nerve-wracking, let alone at such a sensitive time.
"In that case, I am too." Lilina's voice was trembling.
"Yes, I gave you my blood, and you became a vampire, you can also be said to be my dependent."
"Then my mother..."
"Your mother turned into a werewolf on the night of the full moon in June. Obviously, they knew about the existence of werewolves and brought you to that small room. It was a wise choice. Otherwise, the news might not have been an accident to Mr. and Mrs. Skart."
Instead of death, monsters are wreaking havoc in the city." Esder glanced at Lilina and continued: "But unfortunately, they underestimated the power of the Said Balai hybrid. The iron chain is not enough to tie up a crazy Said Bale hybrid.
Debale species.”
"I said before that your mother was not born a werewolf. It would be better to say that the Sedbalai species are not born with werewolves. They are usually infected into werewolves. But your mother was obviously not infected by other werewolves. She
It's because of the curse of this pendant." Esder pointed at the pendant around Lilina's neck and said.
"The Banshee's Blessing, even though I have lived for so long, this is the first time I have seen this thing. Very few people can die after the transformation of the Banshee's Curse is completed. Its blessing is to protect the designated person from harm by evil spirits. Obviously
, your parents want to protect you."
"Why do my parents think I will be harmed by evil spirits?"
"It's not that I think it, but it will definitely happen." Esther insisted. Then he continued: "Your father or mother signed a contract with the witch. Since ancient times, witches have served the devil. Although I don't understand why now
Witch has become synonymous with pornography, so when I search for the word witch on Google, all I see are a bunch of pornographic pictures. In short, signing a contract with a witch is equivalent to selling your soul to the devil."
Esther cleared his throat and moistened it, and a wicked smile slowly appeared on his face. He continued: "But obviously, Mr. and Mrs. Skart did not choose to sell their souls to the devil, otherwise they would not be able to
Still alive and looking like a human being. Instead, whose soul do you think they promised to the devil?"
"....mine."
Lilina lowered her head, her lips and teeth were trembling, and her hands were scratching the bed. At this moment, she looked extremely fragile, like a child abandoned by her parents. Lilina felt that her mind was very messy. Esther told her the truth.
, is undoubtedly telling one thing - her parents sold her soul to the devil.
How is this possible!
She doesn't want to believe it!
Seeing Lilina's expression, Esther felt very amused, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was enough. If it continued like this, his puppy might be spoiled.
He continued: "But in the end, it was clear that Mr. and Mrs. Skart loved you more than they loved themselves. They decided to protect you and sacrificed their own lives to protect your soul. That's why you can still sit here and talk to me now, so
, thank your parents, they did not abandon you." Esde said.
"Is...that's it?" After hearing this, Lilina's expression calmed down. Suddenly, a drop of water fell on the bed sheets.
When Esther told Lilina everything, Lilina's tense nerves finally calmed down. She knew many truths about the world. It turns out that there really are vampires and magical creatures like werewolves in the world, and there are magical creatures like werewolves.
The price that allowed her to learn the truth about the world was the death of her parents.
After Minerva came back from buying food, the tired little girl had fallen into a deep sleep, just like a baby. Her red eyes seemed to hint at something. Minerva did not disturb her. Esther sat on Lily's desk.
Minerva seemed to be guarding her by her bedside. For some reason, Minerva felt very at ease when she saw such a scene.
