Gao Chengyu was in the dark and no one knew where he was, but he could easily find out where Liang Jing worked.
In order to get rid of Liang Jing, he sent the pen holder containing Lilith.
Liang Jing placed the pen holder on the table in the laboratory without any doubt. The dormant body Lilith inside influenced her thinking, and she, who was always cautious, no longer locked the door of the laboratory.
As a dormant body, Lilith does not have the strength to kill Liang Jing directly, nor does she have the strength to possess Liang Jing directly. She can only wait for an opportunity - waiting for someone to break in and then create a conflict.
A few days later, the intruder arrived. - Weng Zichen
Lilith was overjoyed and quickly exerted her mental influence, making Weng Zichen even more irritable and violent.
However, the situation developed out of control - the dormant body Lilith's original plan was to let Liang Jing be knocked unconscious or even killed by Weng Zichen, and then take the opportunity to possess her.
Unexpectedly, Weng Zichen was bitten by a poisonous snake first and lost consciousness.
Lilith certainly didn't want to waste this opportunity. Moreover, Weng Zichen had snake venom in his body, making him the most suitable target for a snake demon to possess.
Therefore, Lilith changed her plan and decided to possess Weng Zichen directly and then kill Liang Jing.
The possession was successful, but the subsequent actions were a complete failure.
Weng Zichen's character is really too arrogant, too self-centered and too impulsive. After being possessed, he actually refused Lilith's control! Instead, he recklessly followed his own ideas and set up an illusion and a puzzle for Liang Jing.
Lilith wanted to kill Liang Jing, but Weng Zichen had no intention of killing Liang Jing at all. He just wanted to take revenge on her, make her understand his art, and make her apologize!
Li Yuebai had no time to analyze the emotional entanglement between Liang Jing and his wife. All his thoughts were focused on one question - where was Gao Chengyu?
"When you received the express delivery, did you pay attention to the sender's address?" he asked Liang Jing.
"I took a quick look and only remember that it was sent from a neighboring city. I didn't even keep the express packaging." Liang Jing shook her head.
In fact, even if you save the express delivery slip, it is impossible to find out anything from it. It is very convenient to send express delivery nowadays. The address and mobile phone number on it can be fake, and the sender can simply not show up. He can just leave the items and money at the agreed location and let the courier pick them up. It is impossible to find any clues.
According to Liang Jing's personality, if the truth was not told to her, she would definitely continue to investigate alone, which would cause more trouble. Therefore, after considering it, Li Yuebai briefly explained everything about vampires to her.
"In other words, the murderer has come back to life and is still alive?" Liang Jing slammed the table in disbelief and bit her lip tightly: "I will not accept this. He must get the punishment he deserves!"
She was not in good health, her blood sugar was very low, her face was pale, and when she spoke excitedly, her body swayed and she almost fainted.
"That is the mission of our bureau. You should have a good rest first and provide us with help when necessary." Li Yuebai sighed, signed the transcript, asked Liang Jing to put his fingerprints on it, and after completing all the formalities, he took Ye Qing out of the interrogation room.
Now, Weng Zichen has been sent to the isolation ward of the Military Region General Hospital, and Liang Jing has been assigned a special officer to protect her, so her safety should be guaranteed.
The higher-ups have also begun to pay attention to the defense against vampires and have even started planning to set up a special agency.
Li Yuebai brought Ye Qing back to the rental house, and after a short rest, he started the conversation with the system again.
"Where is Gao Chengyu now?" Li Yuebai asked the system in a deep voice.
"I don't know." The system gave a crisp and clear answer with a grin.
I didn't expect it to be of much help, so this answer was not surprising.
"You should at least provide me with the vampire race that Gao Chengyu belongs to?" Li Yuebai's tone became more and more vicious, as if he was trying to destroy the system.
"Ah! I know this!" As soon as the system mentioned this topic, its voice became so excited that it rose several degrees: "He doesn't belong to any race. He is unique!"
"Unique?" Li Yuebai frowned.
So far, as far as he knew, whether it was Countess Karnstein or the maid Ampsha, they were all races with countless individuals, and none of them dared to say that they were unique.
"He is Vlad III!" The system lowered its voice mysteriously.
"Vlad III?" Li Yuebai felt that the name was very familiar.
"A vampire among vampires, a king among kings." The system said, "I think it would be better for you to die sooner rather than later."
GG is the abbreviation of GOODGAME, which means to admit defeat and quit the game.
Whether in "Blood Charm" or in many other materials, there is a lot of information about Vlad III. He was active in the 15th century, was the ancestor of vampires, and was the ruler of Wallachia. He was powerful and invincible; he was cruel by nature, not only did he often massacre enemy captives on a large scale, he also liked to use cruel methods to execute the people and nobles under his rule... He lived in the tail end of the Middle Ages, leaving a bloody ending to the dark Middle Ages.
Li Yuebai's eyes scanned line after line of text introducing Vlad III, and a word that appeared frequently stung him - piercing.
All sources state that Vlad III's favorite method of killing was impalement.
Use a sharpened wooden stake or a sharp spear to impale the victim alive, and then watch the victim struggle.
In a certain war, in order to shock the enemy, he ordered the entire plain of Wallachia to be used as a execution ground, and 20,000 captives were impaled on spikes. The whole land was dead silent, filled with blood and the smell of decay, and crows pecking at the corpses with a smile. After witnessing all this, the enemy king was so frightened that he said: I am not afraid of any enemy, except the devil.
Li Yuebai felt uncomfortable for a moment and couldn't help but recall the scene when Liang Tian's body was found. Liang Tian was indeed killed by countless sharpened iron pipes piercing his body. The iron pipes were removed from the iron bed in the morgue, and then they were sharpened into a sharp end by some unknown external force... This is very consistent with Vlad III's behavior style.
Moreover, before his death, Liang Tian said on the phone that the hole in the back of Gao Chengyu's head had become smaller and was obviously healing.
When exactly did the dormant body of Vlad III possess Gao Chengyu's corpse?
The morgue building is newly built, with a concrete structure, and is clean from the inside to the outside. I haven't heard of any cultural relics in it. If there were any cultural relics more than 500 years old, they would have been handed over to the state long ago.
The bureau carefully checked Liang Tian's personal belongings and found only modern items such as cell phone and computer keys, and no cultural relics.
Of course there is no problem with the body transporter, it is brand new.
Perhaps this dormant body floated here from somewhere else.
The body transporter brought the corpse here and had to pass through countless places along the way. Perhaps when it passed by an antique shop, the dormant body smelled the scent of the corpse... and followed the body transporter.
At this point, there is actually no need to trace how the dormant body came about, but Li Yuebai still found the dash cam of the body transporter and looked at it with Ye Qing.
The journey recorded in the dashcam was normal at the beginning. The car drove on the avenue, passed various commercial streets, overpasses, and red light intersections... At 23 minutes and 45 seconds, the camera seemed to flash abnormally, and a small black shadow appeared in the corner of the field of vision, but it only appeared for a moment and could not be seen clearly.
Even if you magnify the shadow and enhance its clarity, you can still only make out a rough outline.
Based on his intuition, Li Yuebai believed that there was a 70% chance that this was the dormant body of Vlad III.
"Judging from the trajectory of the black shadow, it is very likely that it came from the car opposite." Ye Qing tapped the screen.
The car opposite was a black extended Lincoln with a special logo on it. The logo looked a little familiar - it was the logo of the City Museum!
Li Yuebai immediately called the Municipal Museum.
It turned out that on the morning of the day Liang Tian had the accident, the Municipal Museum had used the black Lincoln to transport a batch of important cultural relics, including precious items such as gems, gold crowns, and daggers from Wallachia in the 15th century. Due to their small size, they were all placed in a password box and transported personally by the curator and several experts, accompanied by people from the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, as well as armed police escorts and bodyguards from the museum. It can be said that the security measures were very well done.
It seemed to be the curator on the other end of the phone. When he heard that it was a call from the Municipal Bureau, he immediately asked to answer the call in person.
"Hello, police officer, hello." The curator's voice was very kind and elegant. "It just so happens that I have been thinking about whether to report the case. Since you called me, I will tell you about the situation. If you need to take a statement, I can also go to the police station."
"Go ahead." Li Yuebai smiled politely and let the other party speak quickly.
"It was the day I personally transported the Wallachia artifacts. Something strange happened, but nothing was lost. I didn't want to trouble the police, so I didn't make it public." The curator's voice was full of confusion: "Not long after I got on the car, I looked at my watch. It was nine o'clock, not a second more. I looked out the window, turned my head, and looked at my watch again. It was already nine ten!"
The secretary's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Director, you are too nervous. How dare you bother the police with such a small matter?"
"Not only that, I looked at the password box in my hand and it was actually open!"
"Are the cultural relics inside intact?" Li Yuebai asked.
Of course, I knew it wasn’t lost without asking, otherwise I would have reported it to the police long ago.
"No, that's the weird part. None of the valuable cultural relics are missing!" the curator said. "I was so anxious that I sighed. The comrades from the Cultural Relics Bureau and the experts nearby helped me check. In the end, they concluded that not only is nothing missing, but they are all original and have not been replaced."
"Who holds the password?" Li Yuebai asked.
"I personally know the first three digits, and the last three digits are each known by one of the three experts in the same car," the curator replied.
"Are you the only one who lacks time?" Ye Qing interrupted.
"Did other people also jump from nine o'clock to nine ten in the blink of an eye?" Li Yuebai asked.
"I also asked other comrades, some said the time seemed to have sped up, and some said they didn't notice it, but the driver said everything was normal." The curator sighed, "The armed police comrades were more serious, so they asked the driver if they passed any important landmark buildings between 9:00 and 9:10. The driver said yes, at 9:05 they passed a large shopping mall, which was just opening, and had a stage, with music and dancing blaring. We should have seen and heard it when we passed by, and the driver subconsciously glanced at the dial at that time and remembered the time was 9:05."
"Um."
"I have recalled it over and over again, but I have no recollection of passing by the mall. I asked other people, but they also had no recollection." The curator's tone was full of doubt: "Well, now the cultural relics have been exhibited and returned to Zhao. I have not done anything wrong and I have no responsibility. Anyway, I will retire soon, so there is no need to hide it. I might as well report this matter and seek peace of mind."
"Yes, you are right, thank you for your honesty." Li Yuebai said this sincerely.
People in this position tend to be very cautious about everything. They will not say anything if they can avoid it and will cover up if they can, for fear of being questioned about something. The reason why this curator dared to tell everything was, first, because he was about to retire, second, because all the cultural relics were intact, and third, because everyone in the car saw the safe magically opened, and he couldn't keep it a secret for the rest of his life. Maybe someone would tell it to others one day, so he might as well take a step ahead and inform the police first, so that he would appear more innocent and aboveboard.
