Chapter 13: After the Fact
"Mr. Sheriff, this world is not as simple as you see, and behind the bright world there is a dark world opposite it."
The mechanical, emotionless voice made Charlie's eyes narrow slightly, and the man was hiding his voice, whether it was a nearby resident or as it always was.
"Mr. Cowboy, first of all we thank you for your help, no offense, can you take off the veil, I think we need a confession." John interjected cautiously.
"Young detective, I want to keep it a little mysterious, so I'll leave it at that." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but in fact, he was embarrassed to death, and he was very suspicious of pretending to be that when he said this.
Sure enough, Charlie and John, and even a few other passers-by, A, B, and C, all looked at this invisible cowboy with black lines, which was too sassy.
"Sir, please answer my question, what are they, and are there any other in the county? And also...... Other cities have it too?"
Charlie really wants to know what the identity of the person who saved them is, but the other party obviously doesn't want others to know, of course, he can also use his identity as a police officer to ask the other party to tear off the veil and report his name, but comparing the force value of the two sides, this should not be a good idea.
"I can't tell, those monsters just now have a colloquial name called vampires...... Don't laugh and don't doubt that they are real. I advise you to run if you encounter them, pistols can't kill them. β
"And how did you kill it...... Vampire's?" John didn't want to believe Liszt's nonsense, who knows if what he said was true.
"Hey, didn't you see them catch fire and spontaneously combust? Mr. Comeon, I have no authority to ask you to believe what I say, goodbye!"
"It's silver, and the bullet you use is silver." Charlie carefully observed the warhead picked up from the ashes, his voice flat and not calm.
"Silver? Haha, I really use silver, friend, you have a lot of money, I thought it was white phosphorus or something, I mean I saw a case of spontaneous combustion on TV...... ohshitβ
William squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and didn't say a word for a long time, there are too many legends of vampires, he used to like to watch vampire movies, but now when he knows that vampires really exist, many images of vampires in film and television dramas suddenly pop up in his mind.
Bella lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, Charlie went to Mason County on business, but Fox was not far from Mason County, but he didn't come back at night, needless to say, he must have stayed there, what happened?
And Liszt, why did he secretly ride a motorcycle while she was sleeping, and where he went, which was also what Bella was worried about, and he could always hear wolves howling in the mountains these nights.
The next day, Bella was woken up by the alarm clock, groggy and unenergetic, and when she looked at the time, she was going to be late, and the number displayed on the alarm clock made her feel like she was on hormones.
After a simple wash, she hurried downstairs, and Bella wanted to thank herself for not liking makeup today, which saved her a lot of time.
"Good morning Bella, come and have breakfast, I made Chinese buns, try them, I promise you'll love it."
At the living room table, Liszt munched on food while inviting Bella to try his "new dish".
Bella looked at Liszt, who acted as if "nothing happened last night", and suddenly felt a little angry in her heart.
She didn't know why, she didn't know if it was because Liszt went out alone at night or because Liszt was hiding something from her.
"What's wrong with you, Bella, don't look so sick yet?"
Liszt saw that Bella's face was a little ugly, and he didn't know what was going on, and thought that Bella had a cold when he slept last night.
Bella's cheeks were a little hot, she didn't know why she was angry, and in order to cover up, Bella adopted the method that a bear child would use at this moment - to shirk responsibility
"Why didn't Liszt wake me up, I was going to be late for school."
The first time Liszt saw Bella's angry appearance, he didn't hate it at all, but felt a little cute, which made Liszt feel bad: Am I cheap?
"Don't worry, I'll drive today, let you see my driving skills, and make sure to send you to the classroom before the class bell rings."
"Charlie won't agree to you drag racing."
"Charlie isn't here today, or we'll be as fast as we can drive a locomotive...... Heygirl, wait, I haven't had breakfast yet. β
Mason County Police Department, Charlie and John didn't go home all night, they slept directly at the police station, and so far it seems that the murderer of the attack has been eliminated, and the case can be closed, but both of them know that this case can't be closed, at least not now.
A group of vampires caught us last night, and then suddenly a masked western cowboy appeared and single-handedly killed the vampire to save us all...... Only one person died.
It didn't take the director's ass head to think about it, and if the report were written like this, they would probably ...... No, it's going to be sent to Athens, Ohio, a place that no independent thinker wants to go.
There is also a headache, they took back to the police station to record a confession, several young people who were originally sympathetic to the same disease, but they never mentioned the vampire, which made the two police officers who thought about the people even more entangled in whether to tell the truth.
"What a cunning young man." Charlie got up from the desk, thinking of those little ghosts who were afraid of things, and felt emotional, but he was not angry with them.
No one is a fool, vampires have been reduced to ashes, nothing can prove that this thing ever existed, and there are still people who just don't know where to hide.
"Charlie, how should I write this report? The murderer has disappeared from the world?"
"I don't know, that's your job, I'm just here to cooperate with you. I will also send the exhibits to the Forensic Section, so that we may be able to find out his identity. β
"The identity of a vampire? Come on man, they're dead. β
"I want to know the identity of that masked cowboy, is he telling the truth?" Charlie still couldn't forget to find the man.
"That guy just likes to pretend to be a ghost, the truth may not be what he says at all, white phosphorus can also make people self... Burn. β
Well, John himself has no confidence in this.
"Charlie's identification results of those bullets have come out, the bullets are all homemade, and they can't be traced, and those guns are too, the origin of the investigation can't be investigated, and the gun information has not been backed up."
"John, what happened to you last night, the residents near the warehouse said they heard gunshots in the warehouse, what happened all night?"
"Someone from the Identification Department is collecting evidence over there, and that warehouse is now the scene of the crime."
At Fox High School, Liszt fulfilled his promise and finally managed to send Bella to school in the last minutes.
Liszt followed Bella to the biology classroom, and Bella looked at Liszt strangely: "You went to the wrong classroom, classmate." β
"That's right, I switched my physics class to biology, and now I'm interested in it."
