I checked the map and found that this coordinate did not exist on the map. I originally wanted to contact He Xin, but for some reason, her phone was always unreachable.
Xia Hou tried it and found the same. We discussed it and decided to ignore it for now and get the person over the fence first, as the criminal might have gone within the range of the iron net.
We walked around the iron net but found no damaged areas. Since all the people I brought were criminal investigators and they didn't have any tools to cut the iron net, one officer suggested, "Why don't we just climb over it ourselves?"
"No, didn't you see the glass tiles overhead!"
"Right, if we climb over like this, our hands will be scrapped!"
The police started discussing. I was observing everywhere and suddenly noticed a bit of blood on the edge of a section of the wire mesh. I collected it with a cotton swab and looked up to see bloodstains on the glass tiles above. Xia Hou came beside me and said, "It seems that guy crawled over here!"
I didn't answer. Not caring what the other police officers decided, I immediately climbed up myself. At this point, the other police officers and Xia Hou didn't hesitate either. Even if they got injured, everyone gritted their teeth and crawled over the iron net.
When we got down on the other side, our palms were injured to varying degrees. Even more unfortunate, it started to rain heavily at that moment. Seeing everyone drenched and looking tired, I suggested, "Why don't you all take a break?"
"No need, Section Chief He, let's proceed immediately!" Encouraged by my earlier actions, the officers dared not delay any longer. Of course, I wouldn't hesitate either and immediately moved forward at the fastest speed. However, this rain came at the worst possible time. The soil that originally had traces was now washed away by the rain, leaving no marks. Fortunately, we had collected blood and taken photos earlier, otherwise, if we had been a moment slower, we would have gotten nothing.
I told everyone to spread out, forming a fan shape and searching the surroundings. We didn't know where that guy had escaped to. But halfway, I took out yellow wine and sprinkled it continuously. Gradually, a lot of blue reactions appeared on the ground!
That guy was bleeding!
We followed the blood, accompanied by a slight scent of blood, and soon found a treehouse-like building. Everyone immediately became vigilant and surrounded the treehouse with their weapons.
At the same time, a clear moonlight shone through the gaps in the trees, illuminating the trunk.
I asked a few criminal investigators, including Xia Hou, to climb up with me along a tree trunk. After passing some stairs, I shouted into a large hole, "I know you're in there. We are the police. If you surrender now, you might have a sliver of hope. Otherwise, we will open fire!"
There was no movement from inside the treehouse, as if no one was there. But something seemed to be lurking in the leaves, with pairs of blood-red eyes staring at the approaching intruders. After about a second, countless bats suddenly flew out from the gaps in the trees!!!
We near the treehouse were instantly surrounded by bats. The bats flapped their wings with a loud 'pat-pat-pat' sound, and their sharp teeth bit into our bodies. Several officers cried out, and many officers opened fire towards the trees!!
A moment of chaotic gunfire echoed back and forth through the gaps in the trees, rippling everywhere. The dense sound almost made our ears split. Just then, Xia Hou suddenly shouted, "Be careful!"
From the eaves of the treehouse, a woman dressed entirely in black leaped down. Her body was snow-white, her face gaunt, and her limbs like yellowed bamboo poles. But she seemed to possess considerable strength, and with one move, she pushed me to the ground. At this moment, even more bats swarmed over, as if Duke Herbert himself had descended upon the world, darting through the heavy rain and exposed in the moonlight.
Under the projection of the moonlight, I saw a face wearing a vampire mask. The woman opened her cavernous mouth, revealing purplish-yellow fangs, and lunged directly towards my neck!
I screamed, and two large bloody holes immediately appeared on my neck. Just as the woman was about to suck my blood, I forcefully flipped her over and pressed my hands on her shoulders, pulling her head away from my body!
At this moment, Xia Hou forcefully pulled her up. Even though bats were all around, he didn't hesitate and handcuffed the woman!
Strangely enough, upon seeing the woman being arrested by us, the bats were all frightened and flew away.
It was as if they had sentience.
This was the first time I had ever seen such bats.
After all, I had already considered turning on my flashlight just now.
We escorted the woman down from the treetop and then returned to enter her home.
This place was full of weeds. The room was very narrow but contained several high-stemmed glasses with residual bloodstains inside. There were also circular rings, which I recognized had once been bound to the woman's body. I didn't know their purpose, but I took them all with me. Additionally, there was an oil painting on the wall, depicting the appearance of the vampire progenitor, Lilith.
In the weeds, we found a lot of the woman's long hair, and even some excrement. She really thought she was a vampire, eating, drinking, and defecating in the tree. Why didn't she find a castle?
After bringing her back to the provincial department, before entering the interrogation room, Liu Yuning somehow pulled me aside and gestured a few times on my palm. I felt like she was writing: "This woman does not have porphyria." A few words. I was a bit surprised.
Because if she wasn't a porphyria patient, why would she live like this?
Actually, I didn't believe what Liu Yuning said at the time, but I couldn't openly contradict her, so I just nodded to show I understood.
Before the interrogation, I conducted a detailed investigation of the woman's background. But to my confusion, we couldn't find any information about her through household registration facial recognition. Her face had no data even in the large database. I guessed she had undergone plastic surgery.
There was no way. I couldn't definitively identify the person in front of me for the time being. Without knowing her identity, it was even less likely to obtain her medical records. But to confirm her physical condition, I could directly ask a doctor to examine her.
The doctor's conclusion was that she indeed did not have porphyria, and her body seemed to be quite good. Her physique was stronger than that of an ordinary person.
After understanding her situation, I said, "You're quite impressive. Even our police can't find any information about you. May I ask how you managed to do it, Miss Vampire!"
