Chapter 15: A Wave of Unsettled
After talking to Abigaia about the new equipment, Liszt returned to the dining room and met Alice and Jasper head-on, and the gentleman Liszt turned sideways to let Alice go first.
Alice stopped in front of him: "Liszt, there is something I want to tell you, do you have time?" ”
"Of course, I also have something to talk to you about." Liszt knew the Cullen family, and the Cullen family also knew very well that Liszt had a vampire hunter profession behind his identity as a student on the surface.
The two sides who were originally hostile, in the same school and in the same town, knew each other's identities, and they were still safe and sound for two years, just like the werewolves in the Indian reserve.
The vegetarian Cullen family may not be popular with them, but they are not enemies, and they can live in peace as long as they don't cross the line.
"Or now? Where are we going?" Liszt was curious about Alice's purpose.
"You'd better eat first, your friends seem to be waiting for you." Alice's eyes gestured to Bella's group, who was sitting together.
"Okay, call us" Liszt took two steps, thinking that it would be better to remind him, and turned to stop Alice: "Alice, it is better for you and your family not to go to Mason County lately, I don't want you to have more misunderstandings with those Indians." ”
Alice didn't answer immediately, as if thinking, and after two seconds Alice nodded: "I'll remind them to pay attention, remember our agreement." ”
"Of course, I have no enmity with you, as long as your tastes remain the same."
"Liszt, do you know them well?" Bella looked at Alice and Jasper as they departed.
"I'm not very familiar with it, I've dealt with it, you must have heard of it, the Cullen family has always been alone, who I am, it's difficult for others to integrate into their lives, and I've only been in contact with them because of certain things." Liszt replied half-truthfully.
"What did you just do?" Bella couldn't have asked Liszt and Alice what they had met, but she was just curious about why Alice, a charismatic girl who supposedly didn't deal with anyone outside of her family, who had boyfriends and was attracted to the opposite sex, would take the initiative to talk to Liszt.
"I answered the phone, and Ms. Maria called, you know, she was always worried that I wasn't doing well." Liszt was sorry to use Dean Maria as a shield, but it was time to call back and greet this kind old lady who had helped him a lot.
Mason County, Office of the Commissioner of Police.
Will sat on the director's throne and looked at the report with a displeased expression, and Charlie and John sat across from Will nervously, waiting for the coming storm on the other side.
"Western cowboys? One person killed a dozen gunmen, Charlie, John, are you insulting my IQ? You're trying to tell me that Zorro's resurrection helped you kill the monsters that attacked humanity?"
Will is a middle-aged white man with a blonde Mediterranean hairstyle, a blonde mustache that is very British, but like many Americans of his age, his body has long been blessed.
After leaving the frontline for many years, sitting in the office for too long, it is inevitable that the body shape will be out of shape.
However, for many years, he has been a veteran police officer promoted by a front-line police officer, and his style is capable, and his authority is not comparable to those civilian bureau chiefs.
"But that's the case, we've seen it with our own eyes, and the few people who were arrested with us can prove it."
Compared to John Charlie, he is much more comfortable with Will, although he is only a small town sheriff, but he is not appointed by the Mason County Police Department because he is voted by the residents of Fox, in other words, Charlie only needs to be responsible to the residents of Fox Town.
"Sheriff Charlie, thank you for coming to support County Masonshire, but look at this, this is the confession of your so-called witnesses who claim not to have seen any of the shootouts, nor to see any blood-sucking monsters and Zorro, who were in a coma."
Will unceremoniously threw a document in front of Charlie and John.
"I knew it was going to happen, Charlie, I said no one would believe us." John was unobtrusive, apparently disappointed by the passers-by who opened their eyes and told nonsense.
"I think we staggered the report, John, where did you put the report, we'll go find it, I'm sorry for wasting your time."
Although Charlie is only a small town sheriff and does not usually show much outstanding communication skills, decades of experience are not in vain.
John was surprised to look at Charlie, who could be called "unrecognizable", he never thought that Charlie would have such a good communication side.
Out of the director's office, John looked at the senior and said helplessly: "Charlie was right by you, and no one believed our words at all." ”
In the office just now, although Director Will picked out a lot of problems in the report, he did not mention the obviously unreasonable description of the strange phenomenon in the report after the kidnapper was shot, this is Will's attitude, this matter is rotten in the stomach and cannot be reported.
Maybe Will believed the Charlies' report, maybe not, but in either case, the news of the vampires in Mason County couldn't get out there.
Ten minutes later, John entered the Commissioner's office with another report on the shootout at an abandoned warehouse, while Charlie was gifted back to Fox after receiving verbal praise.
Liszt drove the owner Bella back to Charlie's house in an old pickup truck.
"Bella, that's Charlie's car, right, it looks like things are settled in Masonshire." Liszt had a very pitiful expression.
Bella looked at Liszt strangely: "What do you know?" What's going on in Mason County that you don't seem to want to see the matter resolved?"
"Of course, if there is a big case, the Fox Police Department is understaffed, and I can hope to be a police officer."
"Where did you go last night? I saw you sneaking out on a motorcycle. Bella still asked the question that had been lingering in her mind all day.
Liszt suddenly realized: "So you are angry with me because of this incident?"
Bella's unusual performance in the morning has an explanation, is this angry that he didn't tell the truth?
"I'm not angry." Bella's expression was a little unnatural.
Liszt felt amused, but also sounded the alarm bell in time, it seems that the long period of comfortable life has made him slack off on the work of secrecy, and he actually ignored such a big flaw.
"Beautiful and kind Princess Bella, equally kind and handsome Liszt begs that you do not tell King Charles I what you saw last night, or Liszt will bid farewell to his beloved mount forever."
"Then tell me where you went last night, and, good and handsome Knight Liszt, what are you going to use as hush money for the princess?" Bella Le's cooperation with Liszt is addicted.
Strange to say, Bella's personality is very similar to Charlie, they are the kind of people who are quiet and unsociable, but Bella is very relaxed in front of Liszt, and she herself is aware of it.
Just like now, she can naturally play the game of princess knight with Liszt without being uncomfortable, and this feeling makes her very comfortable.
After a few days of calm, Charlie was not seen again from the Mason Shire, and just when Charlie thought that the case would end in a beast attack, another incident made Charlie doubt himself.
John called Charlie without explicitly informing the Fox Police Department for help: "Charlie, something happened, someone found the body of the guard at the Jackson Flour Mill, fatally wounded a tooth hole in the carotid artery, followed by a suck...... It's the same as the beast attack case. ”
