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 knee-high. Uri looked at the guard ropes that were spun entangled on the outside and hesitated a bit. He swallowed, took a deep breath, and then entered.Uri cautiously stepped on the ground, each step as if his heart rate increased by a beat. The inside was filled with scraps and construction materials. Some of the places are numbered, presumably left by the police.This building has three floors. Uri went all the first two floors without discovering anything strange. As soon as he reached the third floor, he was startled by a figure painted in white paint on the ground. Uri clutched his chest and took a few steps back. On his face was a look of extreme horror. It seems this is a real crime scene.Uri suppressed his hasty breathing, trying to regain his composure. Trembling hands shone flashlights at every corner of the room. Five minutes later, he depressedly dropped his flashlight. He didn't find anything out of the ordinary, because the police work too carefully.Uri sighed a little disappointed, about to go down, when suddenly something in the corner of the room flashed. He quickly flashed his flashlight and approached. He found a red object stuck between two small bricks.Uri clamped a flashlight to her arm, pulling the object out forcefully. It took a while for him to hold it in his hand. Looking at the object in hand, Uri was briefly taken aback.This is Neil's fountain pen, which Uri gave him for his birthday. The top of the cap also has Neil's name engraved on it.Why did it fall here?Did Neil leave it on purpose? What happened to Neil?Clutching the pen in hand, Uri's breathing became quickened by his thoughts. Maybe this time he couldn't deny his thoughts anymore.Just as his mood became confused, a voice behind him made Uri startled."Who's there?"Uri instinctively turned off the flashlight, daring not to breathe heavily, he crouched in a corner, hoping that the person would not see him."Who are you? What are you doing here?" The sound of leather shoes touching the ground made a "clattering" sound, the voice getting closer and closer.Uri was both nervous and panicking, sitting motionless on the ground, not daring to move, nor respond. He gripped the pen tightly in his hand, his palm already wet with sweat.If he was caught sight of, it would be very troublesome!Suddenly a light flashed in front of him, Uri instinctively reached out to cover his face."Who are you?" Alex Dominic shone a flashlight at him, coldly asking.Uri in his heart was worried, his voice unable to hold back and became trembling: "I'm... I'm not..."Alex Dominic had just seen Uri's face clearly, and was not surprised, only to say, "Is it you again?"Huh?Uri was surprised. Does the person in front of him know him?Wait, this voice sounds a little familiar...In Uri's head, speculation arises. He slowly opened his eyes. In the vague darkness, in front of him was a body. Although he was half-submerged in darkness, Uri could still feel his physique very tall.Silver hair and dark blue eyes in the glowing darkness.Expectedly he! Uri's heart trembled slightly, he was shocked and involuntarily exclaimed: "Why... why are you here?"After saying it out loud, Uri realized how stupid his question was. He is a policeman, of course, he's here to investigate. What else is there to do?!Alex glanced at Uri: "Two times you appeared at the crime scene were caught by me. It seems that God has not helped you!"Caught red-handed, Uri didn't hide it anymore. He slowly stood up, at this time Alex's cold eyes glanced at him, Uri shivered slightly, stammering: "I... I just...""Looks like you're quite capable of being the killer," Alex said coldly."No... I'm completely innocent..." Uri shook her head, hastily replying."Innocent or not, go to the police station and say." Alex coldly walked over and pulled out the handcuffs from his belt.Uri heard a "jingle" sound coming out, panicked, and backed up, shaking his head non-stop: "I don't have anything to do with it... I just... want to investigate a little bit...""Stop talking nonsense." Alex snorted coldly, without any effort grabbing Uri's hands, and twisting his arm backward."Ah... I'm in pain..." The arm was bent backward, causing Uri to let out a small scream, physiological tears instinctively spilling out of his eye sockets. The pen in his hand also fell to the ground.In the shadow, there was a "clicking" sounded clearly.Alex stopped moving, looked at the pen on the ground, and frowned: "Where is it?""N...not mine..." Uri took a breath of cold air and hastily contested it.Alex crouched down, picked up the pen and took a look, said nothing, then put it in his pocket.Because he turned his back on Alex, Uri couldn't see what Alex was doing. He just felt his hands clenched in pain, then heard an emotionless voice from Alex."Donna, tell someone to go to the first crime scene... There's a suspicious person..." Then there's the sound phone hang-up.Uri was handcuffed. In the dark, he looked up at Alex, his voice like he was about to cry: "Let me go..." Alex didn't care about him. He looked and shone the torch into the room, seemingly searching for something."What are you looking for?" Uri asked slightly.Alex didn't respond.Uri saw him sitting down in a corner of the room and looking at it for a long time. Uri's curiosity arises. What's there? Why didn't he see it before?Almost ten minutes later, Alex stood up, walked over to push Uri, and coldly said: "Let's go, go down.""Wait... I don't want to go to the police station..." Uri tried to keep his feet on the ground, his whole body struggling slightly.Alex frowned, slightly increasing the strength in his arm. This time, Uri was easily pushed away by him.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
Alex left the building and returned to his car. As soon as he opened the door, Uri leaned forward, hastily asking, "How's it going?"Alex sat in the driver's seat and coldly replied, "You don't need come on tomorrow." "Huh? Why?" Uri asked incomprehensibly."Your friend is still alive." Alex pulled his seatbelt and replied. "Rea... Really? He... Where's he? Is he safe? How do you know he's alive?" Uri asked aggressively, his zealous appearance like hatred could not climb upwards to directly ask. "You just need to know that! The rest is the police's. You're not involved!" Uri looked at Alex through the rearview mirror, his hand clasped into the seat wall, and said quietly, "Can... let me join...""No!" Alex coldly interrupted him, "You should remember your identity and know where your limits are." Uri clenched his hand. Alex's right, he is just an outsider, he is not related to the police. Today Alex took him to the scene just because he asked him to help him. Alex glanced at hi
Two days later, Uri was almost always " looking at" the phone, whether he was working, taking a shower, going to the toilet, or even sleeping, he set an alarm in case someone called. Anyway, the police have always preferred to work at night. However, there was not any call from Alex or the police department.Fortunately, Nail didn't come back because he had a business trip. Uri pretended to tell him that Neil was sick, so he couldn't contact him. Nail was suspicious at first, but perhaps because he was too busy, he didn't say anything more.Because of being so anxious, Uri finally couldn't wait anymore. He decided to go to the police station again.That afternoon, Uri tried to finish his work and asked Simon's permission to leave work early, then took the bus to the police station. Standing in front of the police station, Uri felt that today's atmosphere was a bit different. It seemed that the police station was a bit deserted."Who are you looking for?"A sudden voice from behind ca
