Newsom regretted his decision to enter the Pelos Police Department.

It turns out that the sheriff's deputy is just a good-sounding errand: he has no contact with other colleagues at the police station, and he has no tough cases to work on.

Even so, Newsom still had to come to the police station every day to report, even if it was just sitting in the sheriff's office reading the newspaper and drinking coffee. Even if it seems to him to be a waste of time.

What's even more infuriating is that the bastard in Porto actually wants Newsom to stay in the office until midnight every day before he can leave work. Although the income was not stable when I was a private investigator before, I was far more comfortable than I am now.

After three days, Newsom felt that he would go crazy if he stayed one more day.

Just before midnight, Sheriff Porto appeared in the office again. It was the only time he was seen each day and the only chance Newsom was able to see Porto.

At this time, Newsom had already fallen on his desk and dozed off comfortably. There was only one reason why he didn't do it today, and that was to ask the sheriff to get out.

Sure enough, a free life is more suitable for you.

And just when Newsom was about to resign from his post to the sheriff, he was gagged by the other party with a sentence.

"Follow me!"

It's midnight, where are you going?

Newsom didn't ask the question, but was grabbed by the sheriff's big strong hand and pulled forward.

Porto's hands were not small, and Newson screamed in pain as he ran wildly.

In response, the sheriff said to him, "Be quiet. ”

It's really a boss who doesn't know how to empathize with his subordinates.

After some time, the two came to an alley in a carriage and got off one after another.

It is worth mentioning that because there were only two people in the carriage, it was the sheriff who knew the location. So this time Porto personally played the role of groom for Newsom.

This is undoubtedly an honor, and it is estimated that there are only a few people in the whole of Pelos who can let the Commissioner of the Pyros Police Station personally drive for him. Newsom didn't know if the idea of resigning was being penetrated by the sheriff, so he deliberately did it to make him change his mind.

As it turned out, it was indeed he who thought too much.

"Remember, whatever you see next, keep it a secret from anyone but me. Clear?"

The sheriff threw out such a sentence.

Before he had time to think about it, Newsom nodded subconsciously.

The two began to walk deeper into the alley.

I have to say that this alley is very remote. There were few residents around, only a magic crystal lamp that was almost running out of energy flickering, and it was extremely deserted.

Although Newsom is a detective, he can't help but shudder. It's midnight, and he doesn't know what the damn sheriff is going to do with him in a place like this.

Soon, Newsom's doubts were answered.

In front of me, a man was lying on the ground not far away.

Porto stood next to the man: "You come and see, and then tell me what you think." ”

Maybe it's just a drunken passerby.

That would be the case with Newsom to the sheriff. So he approached and crouched down to examine the man.

He realized his mistake almost the moment he crouched: perhaps it was no longer appropriate to use the word "human" to describe it, and it should be called another word.

Corpse.

What happens if tree wilting happens to a person? It is probably because the skin loses its elasticity and luster, and is overly constricted, exposing the meridians and bones.

And that's what Newsom sees now.

No pulse, no heartbeat, no temperature. There is no aspect that proves that he is still alive.

Notably, Newsom found two round hole-like wounds on its neck, with a small amount of clotted blood next to it.

Judging by the appearance of the wound, the arrangement of the two round holes should have been perfectly matched to the shape of the fangs of some animal.

There was only one wound on the deceased's body, and it seems that this was the cause of death. Although there are many animals that can kill people with a single bite, Newsom doesn't know what animal can bite people like this.

I'm afraid it's a rare and dangerous animal.

Newsom told the sheriff his idea.

"The basic idea is good, but the murderer is not any kind of animal. ”

What it was if it wasn't an animal, Newsom couldn't guess the answer.

Porto didn't continue to embarrass him: "It's a vampire. ”

Newsom was shocked to hear the name, and his mind just went around in circles in human society: "As far as I know, they are scarce in number, and they all live in the northern city of Clayme, when did they come so far to Pelos?"

Although there were doubts, Newsom also agreed with the answer in his heart. To be able to turn into such a withered appearance is indeed very much like being sucked by a vampire with blood from all over his body.

"A city gate can't stop them. You may know about the Ode massacre, and that's what vampires do. Now Pelos has also appeared. All we have to do is fix it before it turns into the Pelos Massacre. ”

Porto's tone was solemn, and the importance of the matter was evident.

Newsom pursed his lips.

The Ode tragedy is well known in the detective world. The case is extremely bad, the murderer is nowhere to be found, and its extreme difficulty is too difficult for all Ode detectives to start.

Thankfully, someone finally cracked it, and the news that the culprit in the case was a vampire came out. However, it is a pity that the detective seems to have been imprisoned in St. Oder's prison for other crimes. If he's still outside, maybe you can ask him to come and deal with it.

With such a difficult and responsible case, Newsom didn't know if he would be up to it.

"Why me? When it comes to the supernatural, Eric is the head of the police station, and there should be no better person than him... This case is too important for the people of Pyros, and I think it's better to leave it to someone who has a good grasp of it. ”

Newsom is sane.

But this move made Porto, who was opposite, frown, which was not a good sign.

"I said it was a secret mission, and now only you and I know about this case in the police station. I have a reason to choose you to do it, don't mention anything more Eric! You just have to tell me, do you accept this job?"

Newsom asked rhetorically, "But why should such an important case be kept secret?!"

"You know it's a stupid question. If I could give you the reasons, there would be no need for the case to be kept secret.

Maybe you have concerns, but I know you have the ability to track it down. I need you to find it, of course, you don't have to fight, you just need to find its fixed cache and notify me to solve it. ”

Only two people know... Could it be that his abilities are really so trusted by the sheriff in front of him? Newsom began to think... If not fighting vampires, many of the cases he's worked on before have involved tracking down the killer, and he never missed.

Maybe... Feasible?

Porto's words seem to have a magic that cannot be denied.

Newsom hesitated.

Today's Porto is clearly different from the past: "If you can do it, I'll promote you to be a detective." ”

"Leave it to me!"

Faced with the last straw thrown by Porto, Newsom said he would be happy to be crushed by it.
