October in Los Angeles is in Autumn. Despite the sunshine, the temperature is still very low. Uri pulled his jacket around his neck, and took the bus to Neil's house. Neil's house was two blocks from his house, not far from the newsroom. Standing in front of an old-fashioned one-story American house, Uri rang the doorbell."Neil! Neil!" "Are you inside?""Neil! Neil!" "Neil, open the door!" There was not anything sound inside. Uri waited a while, and no one opened the door. He frowned, thought for a moment, then he put on the knapsack, took out a key from inside, opened the door, and entered.In the house, the windows are closed, and darkness covers the space. The house was quiet without any sound. Uri softly called out: "Neil?"Still no one replied.Uri hesitated, went to Neil's room, and opened the door. There was no one inside either.After going around the house for a while, Uri concluded: Neil was not at home. Where could he go? Can it be last night...Uri didn't want to thi
It's barely dark outside. Far off in the distance, the crows sounded every time, which made people not afraid. It signals a dark nights is coming.Uri went to Neil's house, which remained as silent as it was yesterday. He takes the key and opens the door. Having gone into Neil's room, Uri tried to find some clues. His eyes landed on the small table, then slowly walked over. On the table, countless newspapers were scattered, some places marked with crayons. Uri immediately recognized it was newspapers on Neil's desk that day. A thought flashed in his mind, he hurriedly gathered the newspapers, then ran out of the house.Twenty minutes later, he stood in front of an abandoned building. It was dark, around without a sound, Uri only vaguely heard the sound of water flowing in the distance. This is the crime scene where the first victim was discovered, an abandoned building located next to the Los Angeles River.Turn on the flashlight, surrounded by almost exclusively weed, which has grown
Below, a policeman was waiting there. Seeing the two immediately said: "Captain!" Alex nodded and pulled Uri up from behind him, pushing him in front of the policeman: "Take him to the police station."The policeman looked at Uri, a little surprised: "Who is that?""The number one suspect." Alex coldly replied."No! Not me!" Uri immediately turned his head to protest.This guy is so excessive! How can he accuse someone like that? Even though it's true that he was at the crime scene like considered illegal. But he didn't kill anyone!!Alex didn't reply, didn't even look at Uri. He took a pen from his pocket and threw it to the policeman: "Take this pen and check if there is anything unusual." The policeman caught the pen, nodded to Alex, then looked at Uri: "Please follow me.""I didn't really do anything..." Uri shook his head in panic. The policeman seemed to understand Uri's mood at this time, and softly replied: "You are only a suspect, for the time being, so don't worry too mu
Returning to the alley in the old residential area, Uri rubbed his bruised wrist, staggering and taking steps. Suddenly, there was a cold breeze behind that startled him, then he stopped. Uri instinctively turned his head, but there was nothing but the pitch-black darkness.Is it wind? Uri frowned.After that, he didn't care anymore and continued walking.When only a few feet away from home, Uri felt a chill run down his spine again. Without having time to react, his mouth was suddenly covered, and then his whole body was dragged away."Uhm... Uhm.." The sudden ambush made Uri momentarily panic, he could only desperately struggle, his hand constantly punching the arm that was covering his mouth.Uri's figure was small, his strength was not great, so the resistance did not penetrate. His body is dragged away easily. He was shoved hard into the alley, his shoulder blade hitting the rough wall painfully. The hand covering his mouth was gone, but before he could let out a groan, his throa
Doesn't know how long, Uri felt his whole body stiffened by the wind when a cold voice suddenly sounded."Shut up now!"Uri, surprised, raised his head. Alex did not know when he was standing in front of him. The faint moon shone down the dark alley, but Uri could clearly see his impatient expression."You... you..." Uri wanted to ask him why he was there, but his mouth could only move two words."Go home, now!" Alex looked at the red face of Uri, he said coldly.Seeing him turn around, Uri's heart felt a little warm. At least he still cares about him. Uri hastily wiped his tears. Suddenly a thought appeared in his mind. Uri immediately looked up at Alex and said: "Can you... help me find my friends?"Alex frowned slightly, then replied glacially: "I wasn't responsible for helping you." Uri gulped, speaking his mind: "Just now... that guy... seems to be a vam... vampire...""So what?"Uri saw his indifferent attitude, became urgent: "My friend... most likely has been by a vampire..."
The next day, because of being busy all morning, it was not until noon that Uri had time to go to the police station.Standing in front of the police station, Uri realized one thing: He did not have Alex's phone number, so there was no way to contact him.As he was confused and didn't know what to do, a voice sounded behind him."Mr. Wayne?"Uri startled slightly and turned his head. It was Donna Nancy."Hello... hello, Mrs. Nancy." Uri smiled with his quite strained expression. "Why did you come here? A suspect again?" Donna gave a lightly teasing smile."No... I'm here to find your captain... Alex...""My captain? What's the point of you looking for him?""Uhm... he... told me to come here..." Uri sheepishly scratched his head.Donna's face was slightly surprised, and then she quickly said: "My captain has just gone out. If you don't mind, can you go inside to wait for a while?"Uri grabbed his backpack, nodded: "So... bothering you...""Nothing." Donna led Uri into the waiting roo
Almost an hour had passed, rummaging through more than half of the dump, but the two couldn't find anything.Uri wiped his sweat, and was about to change to another place, when Alex said: "Let's go back.""Huh? We haven't found it yet!?" Uri looked at the small piles of trash behind and spoke up."It's useless. We can't find it.""Why... Why do you think so?" Alex took off his gloves and threw them in the dump. Perhaps his speculation was wrong. He seemed to have overestimated Neil Royce's intelligence."Didn't you say the necklace fell here?" Alex faintly replied: "It's just speculation. I seem to have overestimated your friend. Maybe your friend hasn't been there yet. The necklace may have been lost before, while your friend struggles with someone. If he really had come here and intentionally left the necklace behind, we should have found it soon. It hasn't rained these days, the necklace won't drift too far. We've found more than half of the dump, but we can't find it. No one woul
Alex drove away from the dump. Uri thought Alex would go back to the police station but he quickly realized that this was not the way back to the inner city."We don't go back to the city?" It seemed that finding Neil's necklace made Uri feel much better, so he had more courage to ask Alex, but Alex was not interested in answering him.Uri: "...."Okay, if he did not want to answer, he wouldn't ask anymore!Uri lowered his head, clutching the necklace in his hand. He closed his eyes and prayed in his heart.Neil, don't happen anything!Nearly 20 minutes later, the car stopped in front of a building that looked quite ancient. No, it would be more correct to call it a castle. Because it is somewhat similar to the castle that appears in fairy tales. There weren't any other houses around, just empty fields and overgrown weeds. The scene has some parts of wilderness and gloom.Uri was a little surprised, not thinking that Los Angeles would have such a place. He intended to open the car doo
