Chapter 9 Revisited
At the easternmost point of the north-south border of Barton City, wolves in the night beat the reef on the shore, and a yellow-white cordon stretched out of the reef to form a circle. △, ≠ x. stuck between the two reefs is a blue and white patrol car.
It looks like it has been abandoned, with the front and reef fitting, and the front canopy bent up, clearly the result of the impact. The bloodstains that came out of the car door pointed south, but they didn't last long before they were swept away by wolves that had hit behind the reef.
Crowley and the police combined with the news, and it was already known that Chapman had driven here after leaving the Southeast District. Four people surrounded the patrol car, checking around.
"Did you find anything?" James looked at the three aliens, whom he and Corson had checked many times. After a preliminary investigation, the bloodstains on the driver's seat, steering wheel, and surroundings led the police to conclude that the driver was seriously injured and dying. So the case was handed over to him and Curson, who wanted to investigate in a low-key manner.
Now that James knew about the involvement of the Shadowmen, he hoped that the three aliens would see something he knew.
"This Vendel is unexpectedly weak. "The humid air gives the blood on the car and the reef a melting, moist feeling, which is a seduction for vampires. Zach held his bottle, "He doesn't seem to be able to do even complete control over his body." ”
James frowned, the tire marks were not smooth, this was the table of the car losing control before it hit the reef. However, this was reasoned by them as the result of the driving person being too weak, and now listening to Zack, it seems that two souls are fighting for control of the body, causing chaos.
"Is there anything wrong with that?" thought of something bad, "do you think he's Chapman?" ”
"I didn't say that. Zach walked around the van, his nose twitching slightly. The damp environment wasn't good for smelling, the vampire shook his head, "I'm just curious about why Vendall didn't want to go back to Crowley. ”
Grande and James's motives are slightly different, one is to find Wandel and the other is to find Chapman. This is a small difference between aliens and humans, please understand.
James tugged at the corners of his mouth. looked at Benjamin and Matthew, saw that Matthew would only follow behind Benjamin, with a frightened expression, sighed in his heart, and asked Benjamin, "Did you find anything?"
Benjamin didn't answer and looked at his young wolf.
Matthew's face turned pale, and the guy who had no talent for driving was afraid of the scene of the accident with a real enough expression, "I. Uh, I didn't find anything. Only, only the taste of the sea. ”
Benjamin shook his head, a little disappointed, "It's light, but you can tell, go that way." ”
James looked in the direction Benjamin was pointing, the residential area he and Cowson had visited. He frowned. Without saying anything more, he followed Grande's brother in that direction.
There are no lights. With only stars and crescents at night, it's a very dark neighborhood. The night wind and the sound of waves came from the end of Main Street, and the light of the fire came through the unfinished houses. Approaching the 'interior', which was only half a ceiling, the damp wood burned in the middle of the iron barrel, and the flames lit up the surrounding homeless people with a crackling sound. They're using it to dispel the dampness of the seaside.
Knowing Suo's voice, it became quiet as the four approached. Nub and dirty faces looked at them, and as they approached, they gradually retreated, as if they didn't want to talk to these strangers.
"No need. "James watched the vampire walk towards a bunch of homeless people, and he knew what the vampire was going to do. "I asked Corson and they didn't know anything. ”
Zach glanced at James and tilted his head, the red in his pupils that was hidden by the firelight temporarily faded. It must be that James is a little too high on the smell of the alien race, and he probably thinks that there is no need to implicate these already very pathetic people.
But both Zach and Benjamin discovered that the smell had become very blurry due to the humidity of the environment, and that by entering the neighborhood, the smell had become mixed with the terrible environment, making it difficult to track. They need supporting information. But Zach's pride would never allow him to say that, hey.
Zach thought for a moment, patted James on the shoulder, and looked at him sternly, "Either my charm pupil or Alpha's skin, which one do you choose?" ”
Zach knew that Grande had directly used the Eyes of Charm to cover up Susan's memories, which made James a little uncomfortable. Zach was reminding the young detective that this was the interracial way of doing things. The human way James and Corson had already tried, with no result, and now it was Grande's turn to intervene.
James frowned, stared into Zach's eyes, meaning that he understood, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and turned and walked out of the unfinished house. In the dark streets, James looked around with a gloomy face.
In a moment, a vampire's voice came from behind James, as usual with a false smile and a hint of seduction, "It's so comfortable here, how about we join you." We can talk about interesting things in the neighborhood, like you know there's a police car up there...... up there."
James knew that Zach was deliberately so loud that he could hear it. It's naked-naked-naked. James spouted and walked away quickly, he didn't want to hear vampires hack innocent minds and steal other people's memories. Of course, he didn't want to see Benjamin half-wolf and half-man scurrying through the streets, so as Zach asked, he chose it. That doesn't mean he likes his choice.
James walks aimlessly through the dilapidated streets, and the summer sea breeze is very sticky, which is not a fair description, but only to reflect James's mood. He tugged at his neckline irritably, trying to shake off the uncomfortable dampness.
As James walked down the street, the dim light peeked through the entire house, and began to recall the conversation he had with the owner of the house during his afternoon visit. He needs to let his mind be occupied.
Coincidentally, both Grande and his visit to Curson were guided by the bloodstains left by the patrol car, so the path James was taking now coincided with the afternoon visit.
James's gaze followed his footsteps from house to house, recalling the pitiful conversation. Then, James realized what he was missing.
He frowned, paused, and looked back at the street between dusk and darkness, remembering.
Oh yes, 'The Devil'.
Described by a woman as a devil, his home is behind James. Just because there was no light, it was accidentally missed by James.
The void was filled, and James pursed his lips, remembering the guy who was missing half of his front teeth, and turned to move on.
The devil who spoke to the necromancy?James frowned, put down his foot that was about to be raised, turned again, and looked at the house without the light.
It's around eight o'clock, and all the way through, there are dim lights coming through the occupied houses, which means that the residents here do not have a rich nightlife. James looked ahead, roughly visualizing, and the visit in his head corresponded to the house in front of him. He soon realizes one thing, the only thing that does not turn on the lights is this house inhabited by the devil.
The hesitation lasted only a moment. Zach's face was immediately expelled from James's mind.
James walks to the dark house. But he wasn't so fearless, his hand pressed to his holster, and his heart pumped as he tried to touch the dagger. Crowley once made useless comments about his dagger.
Irritatedly, James gave up using the dagger, pulled out his gun, confirmed that it was all silver bullets given by Anthony, and clenched it. Swiftly bypassing the front porch, carefully sticking to the side wall, slowly moving forward, standing by the window eaves that should be the bedroom.
James lowered his body and slowly moved forward, the eaves of the window in his vision gradually lowered, and James managed to see the window.
At night, only the faint moonlight shone on the not-so-clean windows, and the two dots behind the glass blinked.
James's eyes slowly widened. Two points are gone.
James stepped back sharply, and as soon as the arm holding the gun was raised, the window in front of him was pushed open with a 'bang!'! A soft sound came from the inside of James's nose, and the sharp pain made James's hand almost let go!
Unfortunately, the detective's gun still couldn't be raised. In his eyes, which were already misty with tears, a pale body rushed directly out of the window and crashed into him!
Losing his balance, James fell straight back, the weight of a person was completely attached to James's upper body, and the hands holding the gun were stuck by the opponent and could not be lifted. James's vision flipped rapidly, and as soon as he felt his back bottom, his vision was quickly filled with Chapman's pale and bruised face!
Boom!
James's brain shook for a while, and before he could feel anything, his vision went completely black.
"What did you do!" Walter lowered his voice as he leaned in front of the window, glaring at Wandel, who was still sitting on top of James.
"He's found me!" said Wandel with a look of grievance.
Immediately, Wandel's body trembled, and the tone of "Ah......" turned, and Wandel's face quickly turned fierce, this is Chapman!
"You, you......" Chapman stared at James below him, he seemed speechless!
Then, he no longer wasted his precious opportunity to finally get the main control and run!
"Hell," Walter, scolding in a low voice, jumped out of the window, chased a few steps, stomped his foot, came back viciously, and carried James with difficulty, as he was struggling with what to do with this detective, Chap...... No, Vandall is back.
His whole body trembled, and the gauze on his body was slowly reddening, "I, I want to, I can't hold it down, he, he's gone." ”
Walter snorted irritably, "Take this guy!" (to be continued......)
