"You think my sister's death might not be an accident?" Liu Ru's eyes shone with a complicated light.
Mofan nodded and continued, "That old man was a very powerful sorcerer. I don't think he's lying. Besides, are you sure your sister really had heart disease?"
Liu Ru thought for a moment and said, "My sister's health was not good, but I only heard about it after she left. Even I thought it was unbelievable."
"I'm still quite concerned about it. I want to know more about it, so if there's anything unusual about your sister in your memory, or if there's anyone strange around her, please tell me as much as you can, especially if it's a man," Mofan said.
According to Huo Tuo, only male vampires would lay their hands on women. When they locked onto their prey, they would usually tail them for a period of time. They would even have direct contact with their prey. Mofan thought that if Liu Xian had too much contact with an unknown man before her death, then this person would be the most suspicious.
"If there's such a man, then you fit the description," Liu Ru said.
Mofan felt a little awkward. So the person he was pretending to be was interested in Liu Xian and wanted to pursue her.
However, this also gave him a more important clue. He could investigate this person later. Who knows, he might find something useful.
"Is there anyone else other than me?" Mofan asked.
Liu Ru shook her head. She glanced at her watch and said, "It's getting late. I should go back to school. If you have anything else, you can find me at Qingyuan Women's High School."
Mofan didn't ask any more questions. He watched Liu Ru leave.
Not long after Liu Ru left, Mo Fan's figure turned into a black shadow. He weaved through the vines and silently sneaked into Liu Xian and Liu Ru's room.
The room was filled with feminine things. There were pink, blue, powder blue.
There were many dolls in the room. They were stacked on the bed, the table, or hung on the wall. Mofan looked for clues with his professional eyes. Unfortunately, other than a variety of underwear, he didn't find anything interesting.
"Looks like I can only check on Ling Ling's situation," Mofan mumbled to himself.
…
Not long after, Mofan met up with Ling Ling.
"The body was cremated too early. If it's still there, we can determine if she was really attacked by vampires. I didn't expect something like this, which is very secretive in the West, to come to our country. Don't even care about it! "Ling Ling said.
"So what did you find?" Mofan asked.
Ling Ling flipped through her notebook. She said after organizing her thoughts, "All the documents show that she died of an illness. There's nothing wrong with her body. The doctor's death certificate is fine, too. To be honest, if Huo Tuo didn't insist that he saw it with his own eyes, I don't think it would be listed as a case of demon creatures. No wonder no one is willing to accept the quest."
"That's tricky. We don't have any clues. Besides, if the vampire just attacked a random girl, we won't be able to find him in a sea of people even if we can confirm his existence. What a headache, "Mofan said.
"I've already gone to the police station to retrieve the footage from the subway. I haven't studied the footage yet. Hopefully, there'll be some clues," Ling Ling said.
"If there's nothing else, we'll have to talk to her sister, Liu Ru," Mofan said.
"I guess that's the only way."
Mofan and Ling Ling played the footage of Liu Xian's sudden death in the subway.
In order to find out the details, Mofan and Ling Ling purposely waited until nighttime before going to the subway station where Liu Xian was. They replayed the case according to the route she took and the time she entered the subway station.
…
There were not many people around the subway station at night.
Walking to the entrance of the subway, there were no pedestrians in sight on the long staircase that extended underground. The entire subway tunnel appeared a little gloomy under the dim lights, and there were some strange metal knocking sounds coming from afar.
"Mofan, did you notice? All the subway lines are gone at this time. The last train left five minutes ago. In other words, everyone in the subway had boarded the last train five minutes ago. Liu Xian clearly knew the time, why did she still go to the subway station?" Ling Ling said while walking with the laptop in her hand.
The laptop showed a scene that was cut from many camera footage. In the grayish and somewhat dark image, Liu Xian was walking slowly into the subway station in a pair of black high heels. At that time, there was no one in the subway station or around Liu Xian.
Ling Ling was following Liu Xian in the video. Wherever Liu Xian went, Ling Ling would follow her path and even imitate her movements. It was a common detection method used by the police. The City Hunters also knew the basic technique.
"Indeed, the last train had already left, but she still went down. Look at her pace, it doesn't look like she's chasing after the train, "Mofan said, pointing at Liu Xian, who looked exactly like Liu Ru.
"So she was lured here?" Ling Ling speculated.
"That's very possible. Let's find the surveillance footage before she went into the subway. There are shops and traffic lights nearby. They should be able to capture her coming into contact with something before she went into the subway," Mofan said.
"It's a little scary all of a sudden. If the vampire really has some tricks up his sleeve, ordinary people won't be able to escape from his evil claws," Ling Ling said.
Mofan recalled the Bewitching Magic Spider in Jinlin City. It was a creature with the ability to control a person's mind. The vampire was able to hide in the city to hunt for food, so it was not strange for him to have some tricks up his sleeves.
"Besides, the vampire is a lot smarter than the demon creatures we've encountered before. If Liu Xian was really attacked by a vampire, the creature would know how to disguise the cause of death. If Liu Xian was diagnosed with a sudden heart attack, the City Hunters wouldn't be able to handle the case, and the vampire would be able to rest easy. There are over ten million people in a city. It's not unusual for people to die in accidents every day. "
…
"Mofan, look … she stopped here, as if she had bumped into someone!" Ling Ling suddenly exclaimed.
