Li Yuebai drove the car onto the sparsely populated outer ring road.

In less than half a day, he and Ye Qing were trapped in the same dead end - both became fugitive criminals.

Ye Qing is a vampire with the ability to control minds. Therefore, when passing certain levels, even if he is wanted, he always finds a way to get away with it.

But I don't have such ability. Once Director Wang starts to set up a tight net, I won't be able to escape.

What is the crime of assaulting a police officer?

The tranquilizer gun used was a prohibited item...the silver-plated long knife with rattan pattern was also a prohibited item. It had already fallen into the parking lot of the Municipal Bureau and there was no time to retrieve it.

After thinking it over, Li Yuebai took out his walkie-talkie and sent a call request to Director Wang.

Soon, the call was picked up.

Director Wang probably had never seen such a daring suspect who dared to make a phone call right after escaping.

"Director Wang, don't hunt me down." Li Yuebai made an incredible request with confidence.

"What? A fugitive suspect asks the police not to issue a warrant for his arrest? This is simply an unprecedented event!" Director Wang must have been banging his head on the table again, making a loud bang.

"I have always hated snitching." Li Yuebai said helplessly, "But if you want to formally arrest me, I will have no choice but to snitch on you to the National Security Department."

"My dear, I advise you to pull back from the brink." Director Wang suppressed his anger and his tone became more serious.

"You should be the one to pull back from the brink." Li Yuebai's voice became lower and lower: "Do you really want to become a vampire?"

In the original plot of this world, people in the human camp constantly try to be possessed by dormant bodies and become vampires because they fear death and desire eternal life.

The current Director Wang is exactly this kind of person.

When we were young, we were full of vigor and energy. As we aged, panic began to creep into our hearts. The most terrible and powerful weapon in the world is time. No matter how strong a person is, he or she has to bow down to it. After several decades, everything that was once easy to obtain, even health, has become a luxury. The shadow of death is gradually approaching. At this age, too many people have begun to have a crazy pursuit of health preservation. Various medicines, skin care products, and treatments are popular. No matter how expensive they are, there will be people willing to buy them. This kind of human nature is not worth laughing at, but just a kind of helplessness. No one is not afraid of aging, no one is not afraid of death. At this age, coupled with the temptation of "eternal life", if you are not careful, you will be addicted to it and unable to extricate yourself.

Most of them were scared off by order and law - although being a vampire is great and allows for eternal life, they run the risk of being killed by human violence in the next second.

Director Wang is the leader of a violent organization. He has certain power and personal strength, and he has the opportunity to contact the dormant body. Once he is driven by desire, it is almost natural for him to do things to seize the dormant body.

When Li Yuebai was blocked by Director Wang in the parking lot, he almost mistakenly thought for a moment that Director Wang and Director Yang had colluded with each other to lure him here.

But when I calmed down and thought about it again, I found the loophole.

First of all, if this was a trap set by Director Yang, and if their purpose was entirely to arrest me, then why didn't they set up the ambush in the Municipal Bureau building, why didn't they set up the ambush at the gate of the Municipal Bureau, why didn't they set up the ambush near the safe - any place would be easier to surround me than a parking lot, so why did they wait until I arrived at the parking lot and was about to drive away before they surrounded me?

Then, if this was a trap, why did Director Yang actually use a real black coffin as bait? He could have put a stone or something else in the safe instead of taking risks with important items.

Then, Director Wang was clearly in a meeting outside the city at this time, so why did he rush to arrest me? When I asked him tentatively, Director Wang thought about it and really followed my train of thought and admitted that he and Director Yang had conspired to trick me into coming. If it was a real conspiracy, Director Wang could have just gone ahead and arrested him without saying a word or revealing any information. How could he reveal the trap in front of his subordinates?

Finally, Director Wang's attention was too focused on the black coffin. Although he had been using the superficial purpose of arresting himself to cover it up, it was still clear that his deeper purpose was only one - to obtain the black coffin and the dormant body.

It's not that Director Wang is not experienced and shrewd enough, or that he didn't hide his intentions deeply enough, but he was driven by strong desires. No matter how cautious a person is, he can't conceal his intentions under the surging desires.

From the beginning to the end, everything Director Yang told him was true. Someone tried to decipher the safe password, someone tried to snatch the dormant body, and someone tried to defect to the vampire camp - and this person was Director Wang.

"Director Wang, you haven't committed any actual crime. It's still not too late for you to stop. I won't say a word." Li Yuebai said sincerely, "There are several people in the National Security Department who already suspect you. If I report you, they will immediately come to watch you. Even if you successfully change, they will immediately assassinate you with silver bullets... So, how about we both take a step back?"

"Hibernating body." Director Wang did not respond to his words, but just uttered three words.

Director Wang knew very well that their conversation would be recorded and could be used as evidence to threaten him in the future, so he kept his words to himself. No matter how Gu Xisha teased him or set his traps, Director Wang would not admit that he had any intention of becoming a vampire, and every word he said was flawless.

In order to escape successfully, Li Yuebai threw the small black coffin to Director Wang. Now Director Wang has the small black coffin in his hand, which means he has a certain degree of initiative. His "dormant body" is a hidden message, which means "the dormant body is here with me". The further hidden message is: What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me when you are in Xisha? Since the dormant body is here with me, I have the initiative and can turn into a vampire at any time. It takes some time from you reporting to the National Security Department to the time when the people come. During this time, a vampire is enough to escape. Therefore, you are completely in no position to negotiate with me.

"Yes, if you have the dormant body, things will be very difficult." Li Yuebai said helplessly: "You can immediately turn into a vampire and then escape. Before you leave, you may leave a suicide note or something, pointing directly at me as the murderer. Not only can you ignore my threat, but you can also trick me again and make me wanted by the police forever... But unfortunately, the one in your hand is a fake."

Fake?

Director Wang frowned and looked at the small black coffin in his hand.

Whether it is the material of the coffin or the silver chain sealing it, they are exactly the same as the evidence in the previous case. These craftsmanship cannot be replicated by modern human technology. It is so real that it cannot be more real.

"The coffin and the silver sealing rope are real, but there is no dormant body inside." Li Yuebai said.

Director Wang immediately became alarmed.

He did not hang up the intercom and walked into his private office in the Municipal Bureau with the black coffin. There was a small compartment in there that was extremely well sealed, which was most suitable as a place for possession. He took off the glass glasses he usually wore and replaced them with electronic display glasses - this kind of glasses was specially made for performing special tasks, and the lenses were all electronic displays, through which he could clearly observe the dormant body.

After making all the preparations, Director Wang opened the small black coffin.

There was nothing in there.

Even when observing with electronic display glasses, no trace of the dormant body can be seen.

On the other end of the intercom, Li Yuebai heard the crackling sound of the silver rope being pulled open, and immediately said, "Do you believe it now? Sorry, I used that to trick you."

In the parking lot, the small black coffin he kicked to Director Wang was actually the coffin from the museum that had once been used to hold Xiao Chou and Vila.

As for the coffin containing the dormant body that was taken out of the safe, it is still with me.

Not to mention Director Wang, even Director Yang and other colleagues in the Municipal Bureau, no one knew that there was a dormant body of Xiao Chou in the museum. The only people who knew about it were Li Yue, Bai Yeqing, Zhuo Zhuo, Wang Wen and Xiaotian. The latter three were probably still in a coma and could not have told Director Wang about it. Therefore, Director Wang could not have known that there was a second black coffin on Gu Xisha's body, and it was actually empty.

"Where did you get those extra empty coffins?" As expected of Director Wang, he did not lose his temper in anger, but was able to organize his thoughts and continue asking.

"Recently I've been investigating various vampire-related cases. There are too many of these things, as many as you want." Li Yuebai said nonsense.

On the other end of the intercom, Director Wang seemed to light a cigarette and took a long puff.

Without the dormant body as a bargaining chip, he had to start considering Gu Xisha's request of "taking a step back". In fact, this was very simple. As long as he did not order a manhunt for Gu Xisha, the people who were shot with the tranquilizer gun were all his confidants and would not say a word. Given Gu Xisha's character, he would naturally not push people too far and would not report his dangerous intentions to the National Security Department. He could still be the head of the Municipal Bureau and pretend that the previous events had never happened. Everything could be calm.

I have to say that this is a good, fair and win-win deal.

"Director Wang, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as your tacit agreement to my compromise plan." Li Yuebai sighed, "That's it, goodbye."

The call was disconnected.

Director Wang finished smoking a few cigarettes, but he was still angry. He was really embarrassed to be tricked by Gu Xisha.

Even if we cannot openly hunt down Gu Xisha, we must find other ways to take revenge on him.

In this day and age, if you want to destroy someone, you don’t necessarily have to use public power to “hunt” him.

Gu Xisha has many enemies. As long as his recent situation is spread, someone will come to seek revenge.

Just as Director Wang was thinking about the best way, the phone rang. It was from Building 39 of the Military Region General Hospital.

"Hello, Director Wang, I have something to report to you." On the other end of the phone was the guard who was watching over Weng Zichen. He would record everything every day and report to Director Wang: "Just at two o'clock this morning, your former police officer Gu Xisha came to our place. He first went to see Liang Jing, and then visited Weng Zichen with Liang Jing."

"Is there anything suspicious?" Director Wang frowned.

"Yes, when he and Liang Jing went to the ward to see Weng Zichen, Weng Zichen was very excited and almost wanted to rush up and fight Gu Xisha." The guard was also puzzled: "I don't know what happened, but Gu Xisha has a high authority, so we didn't stop him."

"Although this matter is small, it must be taken seriously." Director Wang ordered: "Send me the video data and I will investigate it myself."

There is very little video footage, only a photo taken by a camera at the door when Gu Xisha drove into the Military Region General Hospital.

The photo clearly captured Gu Xisha’s face and the license plate number.

Once such photos are posted online, they will expose Gu Xisha's recent whereabouts. If someone wants to kill him, they can just track the license plate number, which is more time-saving and labor-saving than issuing a wanted warrant.

Director Wang clicked his mouse and sent the photo anonymously.

Of course, Director Wang would not have thought at this time that this trick of his would be more effective than he imagined.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just an ordinary photo. At most, they would say: Oh, this is the former policeman who was released on bail and was in the news before.

And in the eyes of a vampire...even through a photo, he can see through Vila's true nature.

Soon after the photo was sent out, at 1 a.m. in Damascus, Gao Chengyu's underground vampire kingdom received the message and raised Gu Xisha's importance level to the first place.
