Chapter 811: Capturing the Vampire
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Wen had not expected the criminal to be a vampire.
Two puncture holes could be seen in the female corpse’s neck. It was a mark that only fangs could make. The female corpse’s blood had been sucked dry from this puncture wound.
Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly. There had been two similar cases in the neighborhood. The victims were both young and beautiful women. It was a classic rape and murder case.
Mo Wen had been thinking that the city was not particularly safe at the moment, but now it seemed that the culprit was no ordinary person.
“This person has come to Hua Xia to harm its people. He’s seeking death.” Mo Wen’s eyes were extremely cold. The first murder in the neighborhood had happened on the day he moved in. He found out that someone had died the moment he arrived. The second murder occurred on the third day after he moved in. Even he did not expect to encounter two murders just three days after arriving.
Mo Wen had to cultivate at night and could not keep an eye on the entire neighborhood at the same time. Furthermore, releasing his deified soul expended too much of his energy and he could not keep on stretching it out. He had thought that the police would be able to solve the case quickly and apprehend the murderer. But it now seemed that the ordinary police would be incapable of handling this case.
The ambulance whistled past, carrying the body. The police secured the scene and left after gathering data and samples. The place where the murder occurred had been cordoned off to prevent residents from entering and destroying the scene.
Mo Wen appeared in the resident’s home without a sound. The place was about a hundred meters square and was empty. It was very clean and orderly. It was evident that there had not been a struggle during the murder.
“Indeed…”
Mo Wen’s nose twitched. He smelt something odd. It smelt like blood.
Mo Wen harrumphed coldly. “How dare a Westerner come to the East and create trouble.” Some supernatural beings of the west might be hiding in Hua Xia, but they usually did not dare to be so arrogant. To do something like this, again and again, was practically issuing a challenge.
“Oh?”
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and he disappeared. The door was pushed open from the outside by someone.
A group of people entered the room. They were all women. The person leading the group was a beautiful woman with a horn. She seemed extremely handsome. It was none other than Jin Ying, the leader of Huatian Palace’s Yeyuan team.
“Jin Ying, we just received news that the previous murders were all committed by vampires. There must be a vampire hidden close by.” A woman who was in her 30s held a report that had various tests listed on it.
“Vampire. Hrmph! How dare he!” Jin Ying harrumphed coldly. The police station had immediately sent the examination report of Miss Yang Chenlin of the Yang family to the other departments of Huatian Palace. The police could not do anything about such cases and they were usually handled by Huatian Palace.
“Leader, according to the patterns we can now see, the vampire will probably strike again. It is difficult for us to seek him out. How about we just wait here for him to turn up?” a member of Yeyuan team suggested. This was the third murder in the neighborhood. The previous two cases were treated as usual criminal cases and were not reported to Huatian Palace. Now that Huatian Palace had taken over the case and a professional had done the autopsy, they had been able to determine that the previous two murders were committed by the same vampire.
“Then let us wait. That Western rat had better not get caught by me, or I’ll make his life a living hell.”
Vampires liked to suck the blood of virgins. Yang Chenlin was a rule-abiding girl who was focused on her studies. She had never dated and was a virgin. That was why Yang Chenlin was the only victim out of the three to have her blood sucked.
“The Martial Arts Circle Convention is about to be held. Some foreign powers have entered the country under the guise of attending the convention. They appear to be here for the convention but all have secret plans. According to what I know, the Gods Alliance and the Demon Gods Alliance have both sent men over. Furthermore, these people are not average warriors. Don’t let your guard down,” Jin Ying said gravely.
Trouble always occurred in Hua Xia every time the Martial Arts Circle Convention was held. It was the busiest period for Huatian Palace as they not only had to restrain the foreign powers inside the country, but they also had to guard against them as well. Of the four major halls of Huatian Palace, almost 70 percent of the executors were on missions around the country and had never been busier.
“Lady boss, rest assured. Leave everything here to me. The neighborhood is not big and I am certain that I will be able to immediately find out even should a mosquito enter.”
“Alright, Xiao Yuan. You organize a team that will be in charge of the surveillance in the area.”
…
The group searched around the room and then left. They disappeared from the neighborhood completely moments later.
“Huatian Palace is indeed efficient. The vampire is so reckless. I wonder who he is.” Mo Wen emerged from the corner. He was not surprised by the appearance of the members of Huatian Palace. Their network covered all corners of the country. Something like this could not be hidden from them. However, he did not expect that Jin Ying would bring her Yeyuan team here personally. They were the elite of Vermilion Bird Palace Hall and were all at least five stars executors. Some of them were even six stars executors. They would not come out for any ordinary matter. It was obvious that Huatian Palace was treating this matter seriously.
Night fell. Mo Wen cultivated in the room above the clinic. To him, cultivation was something that he had to do every day. He must not stop even for a day. If he did not practice consistently, he would not be able to go far. It was as though he were a small stream, aiming to collect himself to form the sea. Every powerhouse cultivated step by step.
However, Mo Wen was not especially focused on his cultivation tonight. He had sent out a large portion of his deified soul to cover the neighborhood.
At night, the cold wind whistled. It was especially cold at night in winter.
Due to the murders, people in the neighborhood were not leaving their homes and kept their doors tightly shut at night. Families with beautiful daughters had sent them away to relatives, afraid that they would meet with harm if they stayed.
Mo Wen did not discover anything after waiting for an entire night. Just as the sky was about to brighten, Mo Wen recovered his deified soul which he had spread throughout the neighborhood. There was a hint of tiredness and disappointment in his eyes. The vampire who had committed those crimes had not come tonight.
The members of Huatian Palace who had been hidden in various corners of the neighborhood had also waited for an entire night in the cold.
The vampire did not come on the second day…
Or on the third day…
Jin Ying and the others had almost lost all patience, and some of them could not wait any longer. However, the surveillance department of Huatian Palace had not managed to find out where the vampire was. As such, they could only wait here.
On the fourth day, a black figure appeared in one of the areas Mo Wen’s deified soul was covering. The figure flew silently through the night sky and appeared in the neighborhood with a shimmer.
“You’re finally here!” Mo Wen slowly opened his eyes. A glint of light flashed through them.
It was 2 am and all was dark in the neighborhood. There were a few street lamps that were emitting a dull yellow light. The black figure sped through the sky, preparing to enter someone’s home through the window.
Before it could do so, a cold voice sounded.
“Beast, go to hell.”
A flash of golden-colored light appeared before the black figure, blocking it. There was an enormous flow of power that knocked the figure back through the air.
Jin Ying was suspended in mid-air, her eyes extremely cold. She was furious, and she stared at the dark figure coldly.
At the same time, a number of figures emerged from the darkness, one after another. The auras of these people were all very strong and they surrounded the dark figure.
“Who are you all? How dare you attack me!”
The black mist that enshrouded the person dispersed and a young man emerged. The young man was very tall and handsome. He had blond hair, blue eyes, and a hooked nose. It was obvious that he was not from Hua Xia.
“Why have we attacked you? You really do know how to act as if you are stupid,” Jin Ying said with a cold laugh. “Do you not know that you have to pay a price when you commit a crime? This is especially so when you’ve broken the laws of Hua Xia. An eye for an eye. You were the one who committed the three murders in the neighborhood, weren’t you?” Jin Ying knew that the young man in front of her was a vampire.
“I don’t know what you are saying. I am a law-abiding citizen. When have I killed anyone?” the young white man asked. “If you slander me, I will bring you to the international courts. Your behavior has already affected bilateral ties.” His expression was very calm and it was evident that he was psychologically strong.
“You’ve never commited a crime! Then why are you breaking into someone’s home furtively in the middle of the night?” Jin Ying asked lightly.
“When have I broken into anyone’s home? Lady, you must have evidence for what you are saying or I will sue you for slander. You people from Hua Xia have a saying that it is easy to find a stick to hit a dog. I have truly learned this here today. Nothing happened, but you insist that something has. Are the people of Hua Xia all so shameless?”
The white young man laughed coldly. He had not broken into the home because they had stopped him before he could. He would not admit to that, of course. If they wanted to catch him, they should have stopped him after he had broken in. No wonder they say that Chinese women grow their hair long, but are short-sighted. It was obvious from this incident.
“My foreign friend. I think you must be mistaken. I have no interest in arguing about semantics with you and I will not reason with you. What evidence are you talking about? That is useless here. You have to follow the rules of Hua Xia when you are here. You have committed a capital offense, so you will pay with your life.”
Jin Ying could not be bothered to argue with the young man. Those who created trouble in Hua Xia would be killed. Huatian Palace had always operated like this. Talk about the law with you? Talk about rules? One ought to first look at where they were.
There was a flash of gold light. A chain flew out from her sleeves and shot toward the young man.
“Damn it! You unreasonable barbarians. You people of Hua Xia are really barbarians who have not evolved completely.”
The White young man cursed loudly but also emitted an extremely powerful aura. Rays of blood-red light shone around him. A startling change occurred. His pupils turned blood red and black wings tore out from his back. A cold and evil aura sprang forth.
