Chapter 30: The Case of the Missing Twins Li An packed up her things and piled them up in her left hand...
Li An packed up her things, with a stack of papers in her left hand and a pile of lightweight clay in her right hand. She threw the draft book to Suibian, leaving her with no hands to hold it.
She returned to the studio and put everything away.
Don’t say it, just sit down here, put the materials in front of you, and inspiration will come to you.
But first we have to put the stone sculpture in place.
Li An picked up the stone sculpture, found a suitable empty space on the corridor, and placed the stone sculpture there.
Adjust the position so that those jewel-like eyes are facing the corridor.
The soft light from the corridor made her eyes look even more beautiful.
Li An nodded with satisfaction.
I followed her casually and asked, "Are you going out now?"
After asking this question, Li An was not in a hurry to go out. There was nothing interesting outside anyway. As for seeing the scenery, there was no beautiful scenery at all. Wouldn't it be enough to look at the cached scenery photos on the computer?
"Well, I'll wait until the next customer comes before I go out."
She was a little impatient to think of new ideas first.

There was a missing person case in Reserve 17.
The person who reported the case said that their twin daughters were missing.
If that were the case, even though it would be a pity, no one from the Hunter Association would come to question us in person.
But the association members came.
Someone knocked gently on the door: "I am a member of the Hunter Association."
He had a good-natured, friendly face, and with his association ID in front of him, he looked even more trustworthy. "This is my ID."
A middle-aged couple pushed the door open a crack, and through the crack appeared two pairs of dark eyes and somewhat rough hands.
"association?"
Zhou Bei heard the couple whisper, "Why is it the association again?"
His expression remained unchanged and he continued to stand there, not refusing to go in without the other party's permission.
In fact, this is exactly why hunters come to pay attention to a missing person case.
Zhou Bei said gently, "We are here for your two daughters. This disappearance may involve vampires."
And the termites within the Hunter Association.
Inside the door, the sound stopped for a while, and then the mother couldn't help but push the door open first. She looked very worried.
"Were Baili and Fei really taken away by vampires?"
Zhou Bei didn't say whether her guess was correct, but simply asked softly, "Would it be convenient for us to come in? Some things might be better discussed face to face."
It was quiet inside the door again, and Zhou Bei vaguely heard the couple arguing.
Both of them are very wary of the association.
You know, in District 17, which is almost entirely governed by the association and is the area closest to vampires in the entire protection zone, it is very rare for them to be on high alert.
The entire District 17 is under the association's umbrella, and most residents have great respect and admiration for the association.
At this time, the neighbors heard the noise and secretly opened their doors to watch the fun.
"Just let them in. How could the association possibly trick your two daughters away?"
After all, the missing child wasn't his, so he couldn't help but feel a bit self-conscious. "If you ask me, maybe the one before was actually a vampire."
"You know shit!" The missing person's father stuck his head out and cursed.
Then he looked at the documents carefully again, hesitated for a while, and finally let them in.
Perhaps they felt that if the other party had ill intentions, it would be unlikely for them to stand outside so calmly. After all, this temporary investigation team consisted of five people, all strong young men. Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to just rob them instead of putting on a show?
Besides...there is nothing in their family that is worth other people's efforts.
Zhou Bei sat on the sofa with his hands on his legs, while the person next to him took out a pen and paper, ready to record the entire conversation.
He said, "Could you please tell me the details of what happened again?"
The middle-aged couple looked at each other with sorrowful expressions.
"They said you could make a lot of money just by standing at the door and saying welcome."
Zhou Bei nodded slightly.
Understandably, the exquisite-looking twins have a natural advantage in this regard.
But new problems arose.
The couple seemed to care very much about their missing daughters and had no intention of ignoring them for the sake of money.
This is very strange. How could such a family let their twin daughters go away with someone like that?
Don’t you want to consider the possibility that the other party is a liar?
The couple was silent for a long while, and then they said, "They said it was a celebration party held by the Hunter Association."
The mother added slowly, "They showed us their ID, too."
Zhou Bei was mentally prepared and was able to remain calm at this moment.
Cha Wu, who was in charge of recording the conversation beside him, couldn't help it at all. Her face turned pale and she wrinkled the notebook.
The expressions of the others were not much better.
Zhou Bei showed a little sadness and sympathy at the right time.
"It seems like this was a pre-planned plot. Taking advantage of everyone's trust in the association to do this is really infuriating."
"Regardless of whether they are members of the Hunter Association or not, we will give you two a satisfactory explanation."
The couple's expressions improved slightly.
"At present, at least thirteen colleagues are out searching for traces of the missing persons. We will find them as quickly as possible."
The couple gradually let down their guard against the temporary investigation team.
"Actually, we don't expect to find Bai Li and Fei anymore. If they were really vampires, they would have been..." The mother couldn't continue here. She stopped with a sob.
My father took a deep breath, his face full of worry, and he sighed deeply.
Zhou Bei continued questioning, "Do you two remember any more valuable clues? For example, their attire, behavior, and facial features?"
The couple began to recall, intermittently stating various uncertain characteristics.

After leaving the residential building, Cha Wu cursed loudly: "A bunch of termites! A bunch of things worse than animals!"
There are indeed vampires who can transform, but it is basically impossible for them to take such a big risk in District 17 for two ordinary humans. You know, this is the area with the largest number of hunters, and there may be a plainclothes hunter among the people passing by on the road.
With this ability, wouldn't it be better to pretend to be a high-ranking official in the association?
Cha Wu expressed the thoughts of several members of the temporary investigation team.
How dare they! Using the identity of a hunter and the name of the Hunter Association to do such a despicable thing, deceiving and harming innocent ordinary people!
Most hunters willing to stay in Area 17 have certain pursuits and hate vampires deeply.
Those who have truly been hurt by vampires are the ones who have the deepest hatred for vampires.
Zhou Bei asked her, "Pass the information you got to the association, and ask those people who went out if they have any new clues."
Cha Wu closed his eyes, and his spiritual tentacles floated in the wind, following the direction of the sparrows returning home, straight to the association.
This is a very special ability, known as superpower. People with superpowers are often more likely to become hunters than ordinary people.
Because superpowers are a kind of ability that can only be born between life and death.
