Is this a trap?

Facing the black muzzles of guns, Li Yuebai's first reaction was that he had been set up.

After Ye Qing disappeared, Director Yang asked me about Ye Qing's whereabouts no less than three times, but I never answered once, always saying, "I don't know."

Could Director Yang believe such an answer? Repeated questioning yielded no results, so he could only look at himself with suspicion. The more he looked at himself, the more suspicious he felt. Why did he always get involved in vampire-related cases with Ye Qing? Why didn't he say a word about Ye Qing's disappearance? Why did he go to Liang Jing in the middle of the night? Why... why did he hide so many secrets?

Therefore, the bureau is likely to make a decision - to capture me and interrogate me thoroughly.

How to catch him? He is so elusive that it is hard to tell where to go.

The best way, of course, is to be alone and show up at the city bureau at a special time like five in the morning when everything is quiet.

But how could I possibly obey the order and come here obediently?

"Director Wang, have you and Director Yang... discussed this long ago?" Li Yuebai did not resist, but just stood there, lowered his eyes, and raised his hands to indicate that he had no weapons on him: "Director Yang is my most trusted and respected superior, so he assigned me a fictitious mission - to take the dormant body from the safe, and then you will bring people to surround me..."

Director Wang did not answer immediately, but looked at Li Yuebai through his glasses with a serious and meaningful look, as if he wanted to see through all his thoughts. Director Wang was old, and his health was not as good as before, but the lines on his face were getting deeper, and his eyes were full of sorrow. When he looked at someone like this, the pressure was not easy for young people to bear.

After a long while, Director Wang sighed and said, "Xiao Gu, asking such a question shows that you understand in your heart that at this point, you can only cooperate with the bureau and explain things clearly. Don't be evasive or dodging."

"If you were the one who made this arrangement, I would have nothing to say, but Director Yang..." Li Yuebai felt a surge of anger at being betrayed. "Until just now, I trusted Director Yang and thought he was really willing to give me the task."

"Gu is talking about other things and has no remorse." Director Wang's face was full of disappointment and condemnation: "Little Gu, although you are no longer an official of the Municipal Bureau, you are still an important witness in the Ye Qing case. You have been avoiding investigations and not cooperating with the Municipal Bureau. Now you blame Lao Yang for not protecting you? I ordered Lao Yang to make that call. He was also very conflicted and didn't want you to go to this step. But if he didn't do this, you might have been able to escape. Who can take this responsibility?"

"Director, did you guys predict that I would come?" Li Yuebai smiled bitterly.

"You are too obsessed with the dormant body. As long as Old Yang said that he would give it to you for safekeeping, how could you not come?" Director Wang said with deep helplessness and condemnation in his tone: "This is also one of the doubts about you. When you are interrogated, you must explain it clearly."

Two policemen approached Li Yuebai cautiously with guns drawn.

"No need for that." Li Yuebai sighed, took off the silver-plated long sword with vine pattern on his back, and threw it on the ground, making a loud clanging sound: "My sword is used to deal with vampires, not you..."

The two men looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they still couldn't let their guard down. They still held the gun in one hand and took out handcuffs with the other, and walked towards Li Yuebai step by step.

"Search him first." Director Wang ordered in a deep voice.

"Body search?" Li Yuebai suddenly asked back after hearing these two words: "Is this what you are looking for?"

With a crisp sound, something fell from Li Yuebai's body to the ground. It was a small black coffin tied with a sealed silver rope.

Li Yuebai pointed at the small black coffin and raised his eyebrows. "Ye Qing committed a crime. I have no intention of protecting him. It's just that he is my apprentice after all. I was holding my breath and just wanted to get him back myself. In a fit of anger, I didn't cooperate with the bureau... I didn't expect that the director would misunderstand me. I'm very sorry. From now on, I am willing to cooperate with the bureau. We are all doing things to fight crime, and I don't want to cause any more trouble."

Gu Xisha has always had a strong character, so although the content of Li Yuebai's words seems to be submission, his tone is still very firm and he does not show any weakness.

Director Wang nodded slightly: "If you admit your mistakes and can correct them, there is still hope. However, for safety reasons, we still have to temporarily restrict your personal freedom..."

Before Director Wang could finish his words, Li Yuebai moved his feet and kicked the small black coffin next to an armed policeman.

The policeman was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was an important item that must be kept safe, so he continued to point his gun at Li Yuebai vigilantly while bending down to pick up the coffin.

"Wait." Director Wang stopped him, "This is a dangerous item, don't touch it."

As the head of the Municipal Bureau, Director Wang had some understanding of the dormant body. He stepped forward and picked up the black coffin himself with his gloved right hand.

The police officers present were all aware of the vampire incident and knew the importance of dormant bodies, but none of them had come into contact with them personally. Seeing Director Wang doing it himself, they couldn't help but turn their attention to Director Wang.

So, at this moment, there was a one-second gap in attention.

Director Wang's attention had been distracted since the moment the small black coffin fell from Li Yuebai's body to the ground. Now, holding the black coffin in his hand, he gave almost all his attention to it.

Whether it is from the appearance of the coffin or from the silver chain sealing it, this is all real, there is no doubt about it, and there is no possibility of falsification.

The other policemen, who were originally pointing their guns at Li Yuebai, couldn't help but take a second look at the black coffin in Director Wang's hand.

A one-second lapse of attention is enough.

Of course Li Yuebai would not miss this opportunity.

No one saw his movements clearly. All they knew was that the two policemen closest to him fell first, followed by the others behind them. Director Wang did not bring many people with him, and without a unified commander, they all fell to the silent anesthetic bullets in a very short period of time.

Ye Qing is good at long-range precision shooting, but Gu Xisha is better at such close-range rapid shooting.

But no matter how powerful he was, he still failed to hit Director Wang - Director Wang reacted quickly, opened the door of the Sonata at the first moment, hid back in the car, and avoided the anesthetic bullet.

Li Yuebai had no intention of continuing the fight. After several anesthetic bullets hit the target, he jumped back into his car as fast as he could. With the engine roaring, he pushed through several roadblocks and escaped in a loud manner.

The anesthetic gun was left by Ye Qing, and I didn't want to use it so soon.

"Captain Gu... Captain Gu..." Inside the Sonata, the driver's face was pale. He was Director Wang's exclusive driver and did not participate in the arrest of the criminals, so he sat in the car the whole time and witnessed everything: "I clearly heard him say: This knife is used to deal with vampires, not you... Doesn't this sentence mean that he won't take action against us? Why is he still..."

To everyone, Gu Xisha's words were not conducive to a tragic hero speech. Such a person should have surrendered without a fight.

"The knife is used to deal with vampires, and the tranquilizer gun is used to deal with us!" Director Wang angrily slammed the dashboard in the car, "This Gu Xisha is not simple, not simple!"

Director Wang had been a leader for many years and thought he was the best at finding people's weaknesses. However, he didn't expect that today, he was found to have the same weakness as others - that is, his attention to the black coffin.

"Then...should we hunt him down?" the driver asked.

Director Wang did not comment.

Syria, Damascus, 1 a.m.

In a deep underground cave, there is an entire wall covered with LCD screens, on which a vast amount of information is scrolling. If anyone sees this, they will definitely be confused - is this a vampire's lair or a stock exchange center?

Of course, there can be no living human beings here.

As soon as the clock struck one, the big screen suddenly went haywire.

The massive amount of information that was originally scrolling was instantly covered by a personal resume.

When Gao Chengyu saw the man's resume, he couldn't help but frown.

The person on the resume was very familiar; it was the policeman who killed him, Gu Xisha, but now he was a former policeman.

"You Majesty." The subordinate stepped forward respectfully and reported: "Gu Xisha's importance has been raised again."

"Before, due to Gu Xisha's obstruction, the people you sent did not get the Joker, but lost contact." Another subordinate reported: "Therefore, Gu Xisha's importance level has been increased, but it has not yet increased to the point where he must be dealt with immediately, but now..."

"What happened again?"

The LCD screen is run by a well-defined program that automatically calculates the importance of certain people. When the program displays this person in a full-screen format, it means that this person is extremely important and must be dealt with or captured immediately.

Even when Gu Xisha snatched Joker away, his importance was only ranked in the top ten. As the king of vampires, there were too many things that needed to be solved and too many humans that needed to be eliminated. Gu Xisha was in China and could not pose a threat to the situation in Europe for the time being, and it was not easy to take action. Therefore, the plan to eliminate him was repeatedly postponed.

"You Majesty..." The subordinate's voice was extremely excited, and his body under the black robe was even trembling slightly: "I must point out one thing to you - Gu Xisha's resume displayed on the big screen does not have any photos, especially his latest photos."

"Get to the point."

“That’s because if his photo is posted, everyone in this underground palace will go crazy for him.” The subordinate explained: “Gu Xisha is now the only vila in the world.”

This sentence alone is enough to drive all vampires crazy.
