Chapter 10: Your 'Accident'

"About half a month ago, a strange man came to the neighborhood where I often stay. His style of dress is not consistent, boots, formal wear, cowboy hat ......"

Louise began to recount what she knew.

"I hadn't seen him before, so my friends and I accosted him in a group of three. ”

As you might think, the profession of 'single women' is not secure, and they have to learn to take care of each other and protect themselves.

"It was normal at first, he didn't mind that there were three of us. We went to his residence with him and at that time I started to have bad feelings. Because of his residence, I used to be. Louise glanced at Zach.

"I remember the owner there was a divorced man in his fifties who lived alone. I found that all the photos had been taken down, even one of the original owner's pets had disappeared. I tried to trick him into words, and his answers were all lies. ”

Alice's breakfast was actually just Benjamin's one, and there was a difference between the banshee's ability to predict death, not the future. So, Benjamin stared at the sandwich in King's hand: "Do you want to eat it or not?"

Kim came back to his senses, and he was listening very carefully to Louise's story. The man, who is still unidentified, is evaluating the Grande Funeral Home. The funeral industry is an excuse, he wants to know what these two people really do, and the woman who is narrating may be able to give him a clue.

Now Barton City is completely different from what King had envisioned, and believe me, he needs such an assessment.

Kim shook his head, put the untouched sandwich on the plate Benjamin handed him, and said to Louise, "Didn't you call the police?"

Louise glanced back at Kim and shook her head: "No police officer would believe a girl's report." Unless a body is found. ”

Zach is undeniable that the disappearance was brought to the attention of the police and the media after someone found a missing female body four days ago.

Of course, people who really belong to Barton's upper class will not pay attention to this. After learning that the woman who died was X woman, they lost interest, and they focused more on the visit of the two senators.

Louise continued: "Already wary, I made an excuse, broke the man, and explained the situation to my friends and wanted to get out. ”

"And then you got out?" Zach asked.

"Yes, I left with a friend, and the one who stayed there never showed up again. Louise's eyes darkened.

"You should call the police. I don't know why, this guy Kim seems to be very obsessed with calling the police, "This is already illegal invasion, and potential kidnapping!"

Zach looked at Kim with a stern face and asked, "How long have you been in that woods?"

"A week or so, what's the matter?"

Zach stood up, walked over to the hanger, and pulled a rolled-up newspaper from his hanging coat pocket. That's right, it's the Barton Daily last night for 0.5 dole. Zach opened the newspaper, folded it, and put it in front of Kim: "You read it yourself." ”

The first thing that caught my eye was the horrible photo of the corpse! Jin's stomach churned, glad he hadn't eaten anything!

Benjamin, who had put down his coffee cup, swept the picture, "Where did this happen?

"Yes. Zach returned to his seat, "What do you think?"

Benjamin ignored Jin Zheng's reading of the newspaper in his hand, pulled the newspaper and approached the photo to observe carefully: "It's not a werewolf, we're only interested in internal organs, this guy doesn't seem to be a picky eater." It's not a vampire either, this scattered bloodstain is a waste for you. ”

Kim and Louise's expressions were wonderful, and in this room where there were only two of them, their eyes met, and from each other's eyes, they saw the same horror as themselves.

It's one thing to know the scientific name of a living thing, it's another thing to hear that creature judge its food!

"Yes. Benjamin muttered for a moment, "It should be the shapeshifter." I can't think of anything more messy than theirs, it's a lot like their style. ”

"Easy, shapeshifter, shapeshifter!" Kim suppressed the churning of his stomach, feeling a little excited.

Benjamin lost interest in the photo and threw it back to Kim, "literally." Each creature has its own form, some have two, like me and Zach, while others have an infinite number of kinds, like the shapeshifter, who can transform into various forms. ”

Hearing Benjamin's explanation, Louise suppressed her curiosity about what Benjamin's other form was, and said with a 'so it was' expression: "This can be explained." ”

Zach's gaze returns to Louise, and it seems that the story is not over yet.

"After my friend went missing, I made myself more cautious. About ten days ago, another man appeared, but I had seen that face. My other friends used to trade with him. But something strange happened, he didn't seem to be interested in my friend and came to talk to me. ”

It is indeed strange that between peers, friendship and competition are only between the lines......

"I didn't want to have anything to do with him, so I kept refusing it, but he was very persistent. In desperation, I still brought my friends with me. ”

"Let me guess the end of the story. Zach smiled at the corner of his mouth: "You're out again, but your friend isn't so lucky." ”

Louise was silent for a moment, the sadness on her face was not fake, you know, in this industry, it is not easy to find friends. She nodded, recovering from her momentary sadness, and continued sternly, "But I also perceived something......"

"Why don't you call the police!" all eyes were on the man who had suddenly interrupted Louise, and there was no doubt that it was Kim. "You should go to the police station!"

Louise's expression stiffened. The three men here are all very eye-catching, but after knowing that Zack, who is a humorous gentleman, is a vampire, and Benjamin, who is tall and rugged, is a werewolf, the man who seems to be a human is the most popular in Louise's heart, but now, this favor is almost consumed!

Zach touched his chin: "Kim, are you a police officer?"

"I ...... I'm Kim Grande. Being looked at by others, Jin was a little uncomfortable: "I just think that at least I should call the police and try to get help from the right channels, this is a citizen's right, and it's not a bad thing!"

Be quiet.

Silence is not a satire on the Patton vigilante, on the contrary, the work of the Patton Police Department is very popular. At least Louise relied on the two detectives to keep an eye on her, so she dared to leave with Zach and go to the hotel. This silence is the helplessness of the man named Kim, who still wants to lead the solution to the police, after just commenting on the food preferences of werewolves and vampires, and involving the 'shapeshifter who is not a partial eater'.

If Louise had done so, perhaps the subject of the newspaper photo would have been a man in a police uniform.

"Okay Louise, please continue. What do you perceive?" Zach asked, turning back to Louise.

"Body temperature, he, the man's body is cold. Louise looked into Zach's eyes: "Even in the hot water, his body is still cold. ”

There was a sudden realization in Zack's eyes, and the rest of the story didn't need to be said.

Louise was already vigilant when she went to the hotel with Zack, so she deliberately reminded Zack that there were police officers behind her, and used 'hot water' to test Zack's reaction when going up the stairs, prepared a bathrobe for Zach to enter the bathroom naturally, and confirmed whether Zack's body temperature was normal in the hot water......

Quite unlike what Curson had in mind as a 'swing cow', Louise's revealing outfit was just an excuse, an introduction to 'I need a warm place' to trade. If Zack doesn't bring it up, she will do it herself, she wants to ensure her own safety, and guide the other party step by step so that she can confirm that the other party has the temperature of a normal man!

The corners of Zack's mouth curled, leaned back in his chair, and actually applauded: "Louise, I'm officially your fan." Zack's expression became stern after laughing, "Still, I'm going to tell you bad news." Benjamin, come on. ”

The werewolf's thick fingers tapped on the wooden table, and his dark brown eyebrows furrowed: "Low temperature, is one of the characteristics of the shapeshifter. In the same way, a strong sense of purpose is also characteristic of them. Benjamin made a look of misfortune: "Miss Louise, it is very unfortunate to tell you that you have been taken by him as his prey." Benjamin pointed to the newspaper photo: "If nothing else, that's your end." ”

Zach stood up, walked over to the pale-faced Louise, and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we're your 'accidents'." ”
