The lights came on again in Grande's van, and in the dim light, James expertly opened the paper bag packaging, and the smell of fast food immediately spread through the car.

It's not that there aren't seats in the cafeteria, it's that James really doesn't want to see vampires eating in the middle of a group of unsuspecting humans, and those suspicious red vials, James has a bad premonition. So he took it out.

It didn't seem to be the first time James had eaten in such a narrow space in the car, he quickly spread a tissue on his legs, habitually tore the ketchup, and before he could fully squeeze it out, the dark red goo suddenly made James frown, snort, and threw it back into the bag.

"What is this. James's appetite had been worn to the brim by the suspicious red vials that were swaying around the vampire.

Zach raised an eyebrow and smiled at James, who was obviously hungry but had a hard time eating, and his fingers were clasped on the metal iron cap that sealed the vial, with a slight force.

After a slight click, the cap relaxed, but Zach closed his eyes, as if inhaling slightly.

As I said before, Zach will be ready for anything.

James looked away in disgust, grabbed the interference throat under the wet drink, ignored Zack's movements, and began to recount the news he had 'swindled' from the police station.

"'Valmina' at Barton is like Rippert's notes, with Woody's band at its source. James tried his best not to look at Zach's movements, the organized language.

"The two guys, afraid that I would charge them with other crimes, directly confessed the source of the channel, Woody's grandfather, Hardy. All the goods were brought in from Newton. James tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It's your client!"

Zach curled the corners of his mouth, the loose cap never opened, but he had something else on his hand. A metal wine bottle that he would always carry with him when he was out, a sharpened piece of wood.

The wood was the size of a thumb, and it looked like a branch that Zach had broken in someone's garden. But at this time, the sharpened tip was pressed inward against the palm of the vampire's hand, and watching Zack's slightly contracted fingers clamping the end adjust the direction, it seemed that he had the consciousness of piercing himself......

"I said it. The clues to 'Valmina' are generally clear, and now that I'm focused on finding Woody, I've ruled out the news and left it to No. James, how about saying something I don't know. Zach smiled, he adjusted his position, and the metal bottle was already in the easiest place to reach.

James was inevitably distracted, as Zach's preparation had to remind him of a time in the Grande basement, where the vampire's wrist was secured by a stake, and Benjamin and Hank Sr. carried out Ian, who was bound in chains. Let's change the blood of the 'poisoned' Zack!

"What the hell are you going to do?!" James lost his appetite completely, staring at the loose vial, "what the hell is this?!"

Zach gave James a relaxed look, "Do you want to hear my guess?"

James frowned, trying to say no.

"I hope it's just Eli Torredo's blood. "Zach has already said it.

The disgust of discomfort only appeared on James's face for a moment, and James fell into thought unexpectedly. After a moment, he actually nodded. "So, that's what those two guys call a 'bonus.'" ”

"Go on. Zach raised an eyebrow. Sure enough, as Nou said, James knew more than they did, "Nou speculated that the contradictions brought about by 'Varmina' had nothing to do with the incident, because, as you asked, the real source channel was with Hardy, and Woody, as his grandson, could not be replaced in the 'band'." There is nothing good to get rid of Woody. ”

Zach smiled, "On my second visit to Wèn Hardy, he told me that Woody was in correspondence with Eli Toredo, and that Woody seemed to be hiding it from the rest of the band. Before Woody 'disappeared', Hardy heard that they had an argument over the matter. ”

Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth. Looking at the vial in his hand, "Since we all know what 'Toledo' actually is. "I made a gesture that we all knew," and for this so-called 'reward,' ......" Zach had an eerie smile on his face, "I think anything can happen." ”

James took a deep breath, and after all, the incident went in the direction that disgusted him the most. But now is not the time to complain. James adjusted his feelings, and the dinner had been completely abandoned, and Zach insisted on it anyway, and he didn't care about wasting it.

James's expression was a little strange, and there was a sense of disappointment with the world, "The two men claimed that they had discovered their idol. ”

James glanced at Zach, "Eli Toledo, what he meant in the lyrics." James shook his head, pulled a folded piece of paper out of his pocket, spread it out and tossed it to Zack, "They felt the 'call of their hearts' and began to share the same faith as their idols. ”

Well, about this 'call of inner desire', in the old Hardy basement, there is an original tape with 'Ode to Blood' written on it, and the title of the song created by this Woody band clearly indicates something.

Zach looked at the paper James handed over, all of them were marked lyrics - 'I want your blood', which is more straightforward, 'Let me feel the surge that makes you alive' is more subtle......

Without exception, they are all saying one thing, I want to suck you.

Zach raised an eyebrow, and the corresponding melody sounded in his head! He had heard these songs on the radio, but he had never paid attention to them. The surname 'Toledo' is too much of a distraction, and our vampires have never noticed these brainwashing hints.

Zach frowned, realizing that Benjamin had probably noticed something, but before he could express it, he scrapped it.

James glanced at Zack, "They send their own blood and 'contribute' according to their own interpretation of 'idol', hoping to get ......" James's gaze swept over the vial in Zack's hand, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he didn't want to continue.

People who don't know the whole truth will think it's a sick table, and James, who knows the whole truth, uh, has a deep disgust after thinking it's sick.

The detective shook his head, "It wasn't until five days ago that they didn't know that what they were supposed to get was all taken by one person. ”

"Woody. Zach tilted his head, and the answer was obvious.

James's investigation revolves exclusively around the missing Woody, and although it is unknown how he got the hell out of it, it will definitely fall back to Woody in the end.

James paused, "But I don't think they did anything to Woody. He shook his head, the irritation on his face not to hide, "I used all the hints I could think of to test if they knew who Toredo really was. ”

James glanced at Zack, "They didn't even know there was such a thing as a vampire. He pointed to the blood vial in Zack's hand, "So this thing is just proof of being recognized by their idols for them, and it is enough to appear, and it has no practical meaning at all." ”

Zach pursed his lips and thought for a moment, before his thumb finally lifted the cap and put it to his mouth and tilted his head. (To be continued......)
