The coffin was empty.
"That's the end of the box's clues." Looking at the coffin, Li Yuebai felt that his train of thought had come to a dead end, and he had to find another way: "Just now Xu Lili wrote about the necklace in her diary, start with the necklace, and look it up again. Maybe the clues can be connected."
"But we don't know where the necklace is." Ye Qing said.
They have carefully checked the ordinary necklaces in Xu Lili's jewelry box, none of them have any mechanism, and they are not the necklaces mentioned in the diary.
"Recall that photo and have a look." Li Yuebai said.
He faintly felt that when he saw the photo, his eyes were all attracted by the dormant vampire body, and he missed something very important.
The photo that frightened Wu He and Ma Xiaoting fainted appeared on the computer screen again.
"Look." Li Yuebai pointed to Xu Lili's neck on the screen.
There was a thin silver necklace worn there.
The style is simple and exquisite, with only one chain and no pendant. After careful comparison, it is different from the few ordinary necklaces in the jewelry box.
"Very likely, this is the necklace mentioned in her diary." Li Yuebai frowned: "It's just that I don't know where it went."
The necklace that Xu Lili was still wearing when taking pictures disappeared inexplicably after she died.
There are so many doubts that I don't know where to start.
Suddenly, Li Yuebai's cell phone rang.
"Hello, Officer Ye, hello, I'm Xiaowan's parent, I'm really sorry to call you so late." There was a hearty and strong female voice on the other end of the phone.
Officer Ye
Li Yuebai glanced at Ye Qing, who concentrated on examining the corpse.
"Thanks to your help to send Xiaowan back a few days ago, I haven't had time to thank you properly!" The matriarch continued to be enthusiastic.
It turned out to be the parents of the little girl rescued in the underground parking lot of the community a few days ago.
That time when Ye Qing sent the little girl home, the parents asked Ye Qing for a contact number, but the brat kept Li Yuebai.
"You're welcome, this is what we should do." Now that the tragedy was beside him, Li Yuebai couldn't smile, so he could only be stylized and polite: "Is the child okay?"
"But it's about this matter, Officer Ye, you can help us with ideas. Since Xiaowan came back, she has been crying all the time and dare not see people. When she saw an aunt wearing a red dress on the road, she was so scared that she hid , How can this be good, how much it will affect my schooling in the future!" The parents were anxious and worried.
The little girl encountered a female vampire who claimed to be Countess Karnstein, and of course she was terrified. Such a psychological shadow can only be repaired slowly.
"Children are too young, it's normal to be afraid." Li Yuebai remembered that when she met the little girl for the first time in the basement, she was so dazed that she didn't even know she was afraid. normal.
"Xiaowan said that as long as the aunt in the red dress gets close, she can control her thoughts." The parent asked anxiously, "How is this possible? Officer Ye, when you sent Xiaowan back, didn't you mean that the bad guys had been arrested?" Arrested?"
The female vampire Wan Fang had been reduced to ashes, but of course she couldn't tell her parents about it, only that she was arrested.
"Yes, the sentence has been sentenced, don't worry, but usually don't let the child go out alone." Li Yuebai comforted: "Xiaowan needs trust and consideration now, no matter what she says, you have to believe it, even if you don't believe it, Also pretend to believe."
After a lot of instructions back and forth, the call was considered over.
Li Yuebai hung up the phone and wrote down all the doubts and clues on paper.
1. Vampires Have Some Kind of Mind Control
2. Xu Lili's diary mentioned boxes and necklaces
3. The box is the castle stone
4. There are obvious strangle marks on the coffin in the box
5. Xu Lili once wore a certain mysterious necklace, but the necklace disappeared
6. Xu Lili has obvious strangle marks and burn marks on her hands
7. A silver ring was left on the ground
…
Li Yuebai read these together three times, and couldn't help but shudder.
He jumped up and found the clear evidence bag containing the silver ring.
"Xiaoye, tell me, is this ring really a ring?" Li Yuebai waved the evidence bag in front of Ye Qing's eyes.
"It looks like a ring." Ye Qing judged conservatively.
Wearing plastic gloves, Li Yuebai took out the ring, pinched one side with both hands, and made a movement of pulling it out: "Also
May… "
He exerted force with both hands, and the ring was deformed by him, and it stretched to both sides.
At the same time, a purple light flashed on the ring, emitting something crackling like an electric current, and at the same time, the color of the entire ring became as red as burning.
Plastic gloves can insulate electric current, but not heat. Li Yuebai's hand was scalded so hard that he immediately loosened it, allowing the ring to return to its original shape.
"This is not a ring." Li Yuebai didn't care about his burned hand: "This is a necklace."
"what happened?"
"I can probably guess the whole story." Li Yuebai said: "But there is still no basis, and..."
He glanced at the corpse on the ground and was shocked again.
Originally, Xu Lili's head was facing inward, facing the corner of the wall.
But now, someone turned the direction and turned her face outward, and she could clearly see the struggling and twisted expression on her face.
There is only one thing that can do such mischief.
"Xiaoye." Li Yuebai put his hand on the gun at his waist: "Pay attention, the dormant vampire body...is still in this room!"
Before this, no one had seen a dormant vampire body.
It was clearly captured in Xu Lili's terrifying selfie.
So, this creates a short-term misunderstanding—they take it for granted that the dormant body of a vampire is visible.
However, there is still such a possibility-the dormant body of vampires cannot be observed by the naked eye, but can only be photographed by electronic cameras.
It would be great if there is an electronic camera here, and you can also call up the video to watch it.
"That, Master." Ye Qing tapped the keyboard calmly: "I forgot to tell you, I brought a portable camera with me from the beginning, and turned on automatic shooting."
"Look quickly!" Li Yuebai suppressed his nervous heartbeat, and leaned in front of the computer.
There is an extra folder on the computer, which contains the photos that were just taken automatically.
After seeing these photos, Li Yuebai felt really disgusting and weird.
In the first one, he and Ye Qing are observing the corpse, while the dormant body is floating in the air, floating in front of his face, staring at him ferociously.
In the second picture, I stood in front of the computer to decipher the code, and the dormant body floated behind me.
The third, fourth, fifth... Zhang Zhang is like this.
From the beginning to the end, it was proudly observing the whole process, but he and Ye Qing couldn't see it at all.
Even though he knew that the other party was not human, Li Yuebai still felt angry in his heart.
I can't cure you anymore!
Li Yuebai held the gun in his right hand, took out his mobile phone with his left hand, pressed the side button, and the camera turned on.
Since you can't see it with the naked eye, use a camera to see it.
I scanned the phone left, right, up and down, but I didn't see the dormant body. Maybe it hid first when it saw something was wrong.
Li Yuebai frowned, looking around fiercely with his mobile phone, feeling like a Pokémon player, but what he was looking for was not an elf, but a demon.
Suddenly, a black shadow flew across the screen!
Li Yuebai turned his left wrist abruptly, adjusted the angle, and followed closely... It is it, I saw it, it was floating in the air, twisting, a bit like a bat, a bit like a person, and like a cloud of smoke... Hope pure silver Bullets can kill it.
Before he had time to hesitate, Li Yuebai raised his hand and shot, but unfortunately he missed, only forcing it to dodge to the left suddenly.
After this flash, Ye Qing's gun also fired.
Through the phone screen, Li Yuebai clearly saw Ye Qing's bullet penetrate the left chest of the vampire's dormant body. The dormant body let out a silent scream, then fell to the ground, turned into a wisp of black smoke and drifted away.
"Solved?" Li Yuebai didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and it felt a little unreal.
"It's resolved." Ye Qing put the gun back calmly.
The muzzle of the gun was equipped with a silencer, but the sound was still there. Ma Xiaoting, who was lying on the sofa, screamed and sat up from the sofa. After a short time in a coma, she finally woke up.
"Brother policeman, what's the matter?" She asked with her eyes wide open in horror.
Li Yuebai didn't know how to answer her for a while, and finally he could only say briefly: "Move out as soon as possible."
It's not a big deal that Xu Lili's body has been kept here, Ye Qing called the bureau and asked them to send someone to take away the body, do an autopsy, and wait for the case to be fully resolved before they can be buried.
"Don't stay here tonight, we will take you to the hotel later, or you can take the train home directly." Li Yuebai thought about putting Ma Xiaoting in order first, so that no more accidents would happen: "We have to eat dinner too." One o'clock, there are still Liangpi on the table."
Upon hearing Liangpi, Ma Xiaoting's face turned pale again, and tears rolled down her face: "I... I'd better not eat it, and I'll think of Lili again..."
For her, this night was really difficult. Fear and sorrow were intertwined, and she had no relatives to rely on. Of course, she didn't have any appetite, and she couldn't sleep.
"Brother policeman, can you pass me a tissue?" Ma Xiaoting cried with snot and tears, but the tissue was still on Li Yuebai's side.
Li Yuebai squinted his eyes, and suddenly felt that the whole world was different.
The originally clear surrounding environment became blurred, the walls were melting, the floor was melting, and the ceiling was disappearing... I was no longer in the living room of the rental house, but outside.
The sky was covered with leaden gray clouds, the air was humid, and all around was a wilderness, desolate.
The horizon is far away, and the forest is also far away. The cold wind blows over, and the whole body is cold.
It seems that I am the only one in the world... No, there is another person in front of me.
Li Yuebai clearly remembered that the person in front of him was Ma Xiaoting, but he didn't want to change now.
It was a teenage boy, with a very handsome and lovely appearance, but a very gloomy expression. He stretched out a hand to himself and said, "Brother, come here."
He couldn't refuse such a request.
Li Yuebai took a step forward and walked towards the boy step by step.
This feeling is too familiar, it seems that I have often had this dream before time travel, always the same boy, the same request, the same irresistible.
Before holding the boy's hand, Li Yuebai asked: What's your name
"..." The boy was speechless.
Suspicions arose in Li Yuebai's heart.
In the past, in every dream, the teenager could accurately report his name, but he would forget it every time.
Li Yuebai asked again: What's my name
"Your name...Mr. Police Officer?" The boy smiled mischievously.
wrong!
The self before time travel had nothing to do with the word police officer.
Li Yuebai closed his eyes abruptly, struggling desperately with the power of his mind, trying to pull himself out of this terrible dream.
Far away in the sky, he seemed to hear Ye Qing's voice, which became clearer and clearer.
Finally, he opened his eyes, breathing heavily, with cold sweat streaming down his brow—waking up, finally waking up, there was no sky, cloud, or wilderness anymore, and he returned to the rented house!
And the situation in front of him has also taken a turn for the worse.
Ma Xiaoting's soft body was already wrapped around her, her lips moved to her ears, and she let out a charming laugh.
This laughter was definitely not Ma Xiaoting's.
"Mr. Police." Ma Xiaoting's voice was cold and soft: "Give me a little drink of your blood."
