Chapter 74: Believe
It wasn’t until four o’clock in the morning that Michael got home. He feels very lucky because he is not married.
If he gets married but doesn’t have a single moment to spend with his family, his wife will leave him.
What can he do, he is the captain of the criminal police team and until he has finished handling the cases of missing people and vampires, he cannot live for himself.
This is an obligation and responsibility, not simply working to make money.
Seeing someone sitting in a hidden corner, he immediately pulled out his gun and approached slowly.
His house is surrounded by gates and walls, so how could anyone sneak in? Who in this whole city doesn’t know that this is his house?
– Lucasta. Michael quickly put away his gun and ran to Lucasta’s side.
Discovering that her forehead was hot, he quickly opened the door, carried her in, gave her fever-reducing medicine, and applied a cold towel to her forehead.
Bevis said the encounter between the parties that occurred last night originated in Lucasta.
She escaped from the hospital, William’s bodyguards chased her, then Samson appeared, then police and hunters also appeared, creating a mess on the street.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Fortunately, there were people injured but no one died.
William asked the police to keep Lucasta’s disappearance a secret. The reason he gave was because he did not want her to fall into the hands of kidnappers and blackmailers. He just wanted to secretly find her.
Bevis said the last person to take her away was Samson but why is she here?
As a good and experienced police officer, Michael believed that there was a serious problem going on between Lucasta and William, so he decided not to notify William until she woke up and explained everything clearly.
Patrolling all night made him exhausted and fell asleep next to her. It was only when he felt someone’s hand touching his shoulder that he woke up.
– Are you awake? Has your fever gone? Michael stood up, and put his hand on her forehead to check her temperature.
– Michael, I remember everything. Lucasta trembled, tears continuously flowing from her eyes.
– Calm down, I’m here, I will protect you. Stay calm, wash your face, change into new clothes, then eat breakfast, take medicine and slowly tell me everything. He put his hands on her shoulders, gently reassuring her.
Lucasta nodded, quickly wiped away her tears, and obediently did as he said, took the dress and went to the bathroom.
She remembered that he had a younger sister, so she wasn’t surprised to see that he had women’s clothes in the house.
Although Michael rarely eats at home, that doesn’t mean Michael is clumsy in the kitchen.
Only ten minutes later, he had finished making two sandwiches with fried eggs, tomatoes, and some lettuce. He even carefully made her a glass of warm milk.
– Is your sister not home? Lucasta asked as soon as she sat at the dining table.
– She came to visit me for a few days and then flew to France, her work is there. Luckily she left some clothes behind, otherwise, you would have had to wear mine. Michael replied humorously.
Looking at the sandwich on the table, Lucasta remembered Samson and when she took a bite, tears fell from her eyes, unable to control herself.
Next to her, Michael patiently kept silent because he knew that once he spoke up, this child would burst into tears of self-pity.
At the end of the meal, Lucasta told Michael everything that had happened to her, what she had heard, seen and what she remembered about the tragic accident ten years ago.
The police officer kept changing his face because what she said was like an action movie.
Turns out, her uncle is scarier than a vampire. He planned to kill her entire family just because he wanted to inherit that huge fortune.
When he found out she was still alive, he tried to kill her. However, when he learned about the provisions noted in the will, he wanted to destroy her nervous system so that he could have full rights to use the property left by her parents in the name of a lifelong guardian.
According to what she said, Samson was not bad at all. The blood that he and the president of Star Corporation used was purchased from the hematology and blood transfusion institute through a person who specialized in smuggling blood out from there, not capturing people and biting their necks.
The fact that she accidentally heard the conversation between two bodyguards made Michael suspect that William was the devil behind the large-scale disappearances.
– Can you re-investigate the accident from the past? I want to get justice for my parents. Lucasta held the hand of the person opposite her, her eyes seemed to be begging him.
– As you said, Ben has been killed. The truck driver also lost his life at that time, and the guy who was with Ben, I don’t know his name or where he is from, and I’m afraid he is no longer in this world. To convict someone, there must be evidence.
– So what should we do?
She let go of his hand, blankly looking at the space in front of her.
No other way? The police will not be able to rely on her empty words, what they need is evidence and it is difficult to investigate when the relevant witnesses are dead.
– Okay, for the time being, just stay in my house, absolutely don’t go out. I will quietly investigate this. Michael patted her shoulder and said.
– Yes.
Samson had left her here, so she had no choice but to trust and wait for Michael. She also couldn’t go back to Harvey’s apartment.
Maybe Harvey was angry and if she went back there, she was afraid she would be chained by him.
After instructing Lucasta on how to use the equipment in the house, Michael continued to go to the police station.
During this time, he and his teammates were no different from pandas, their eyes were dark due to lack of sleep, but the pandas were fat and they were getting thinner and thinner.
– Dried blood? Michael squinted his eyes and looked at Bevis.
– Yes, Captain, we expanded our investigation according to your words and discovered that in an abandoned construction area near the outskirts of the city, many bottles of dried blood had been used up, and this bottle remained unused.
Michael picked up the bottle of dried blood and looked at it.
He knew that the person there was Samson and guessed that with such serious injuries, the vampire would run to the house of Dr. Aurora, the person who condensed these bottles of blood.
However, he could not send his teammates to her house to check. The reason is because that person did not kill anyone and if it were not for the forced situation, perhaps Samson would not hurt anyone.
Michael knew clearly that although he had faith in Samson, the police chief and his teammates would not have the same thoughts as him.
For the time being, he has no evidence to convince them. If there was a public investigation, the blood from the hematology and blood transfusion institute would not be able to be released and the two vampires would die of starvation.
At that time, maybe they would kill people to suck blood, no joke.
– Okay, I will directly report the results to the police chief. Please arrange for some of us to go to the hospital to visit the vampire hunters. Hospital expenses will be paid by the police department.
As soon as Bevis left, Michael also turned on the computer and diligently wrote a detailed report about what happened last night as well as the investigation results obtained after a sleepless night.
Although Jony is William’s friend, he is also a man who distinguishes between public and private matters and Michael believes that Jony is always on the side of justice.
However, there must be convincing evidence. If he just talks, he will be cursed until he is full.
An hour later, Michael was at Jony’s office door. When Jony gave permission, Michael quickly walked in and placed the report on the desk.
Jony took a look and then asked Michael to continue searching for the vampire and Lucasta. Jony also revealed that last night, William called him, crying and begging him to devote all his efforts to finding his beloved niece.
– Sir, actually this morning I met Lucasta in front of my house. She said she remembered everything and she confirmed that her parents’ accident was William’s plot, which is why she tried to escape. Michael ventured to tell the truth.
– Is there any proof? An empty word? Michael, we cannot rule out the possibility that she was manipulated and hypnotized by that vampire. He was the last person to take her away. Jony said seriously.
– We can investigate…
– Don’t forget your immediate urgent task is to capture that vampire. Jony growled, interrupting Michael.
Michael’s hands clenched and he reluctantly nodded. He also wanted to say more about Lucasta seeing William’s two bodyguards take Ben away to kill him, but Jony’s attitude made him silent.
– Where is Lucasta?
– She’s gone. I brought her into the house and planned to bring her here when the sun rose, but she had disappeared. Michael lied without blinking an eye.
– See, I guess the vampire took her away. Jony firmly affirmed.
At the same time, at William’s villa, the bodyguards were kneeling in front of him, their heads bowed. One of them spoke up on behalf of the group and begged him to give them another chance.
They sold their lives for him because of the high salary, because they had a whole family to take care of.
They already knew their fate when they followed him, but they could not bear to abandon their loved ones.
They work for him. If they die while on duty, they will have a death benefit, enough to support their family for decades, otherwise, they won’t have a penny.
If it were the former, William would not hold back and would eliminate them immediately. But the situation is not good now, he needs experienced and trained people to accompany him on the final journey of his ambition to reach ultimate wealth and eternal immortality.
It would take a lot of time if he were to recruit new close bodyguards for himself.
– Last time. Listen, we have never failed before. This is my last identity and I can’t burn it all, okay?
– Yes sir, we will be more careful and strict with ourselves. The bodyguards replied in unison.
– Okay, go see the housekeeper and receive this month’s salary. You guys are allowed to take turns visiting home for a week.
The group of people prostrated themselves in front of him for a minute before standing up and leaving one by one.
It was no coincidence that William captured both their bodies and their absolute loyalty, that was his way, a little affection and a lot of money.
– Sir, the hunters are seriously injured, it will probably take a week for them to continue their work. Henry leaned down and whispered into William’s ear.
– Take advantage, and send another group to find that vampire before the hunters get better. I don’t want him to fall into their hands. He’s seriously injured. This is our last chance.
– Yes.
William still couldn’t be sure whether Harvey was a vampire or not, so he could only focus his sights on Samson, who had been confirmed.
Furthermore, based on Samson’s diamond, William believes that Samson is the vampire cursed by the Sun God a thousand years ago in legend.
That half-human, half-vampire bloodline would be more compatible with a human than pure noble vampire blood.
William wants to shorten the time spent researching immortality to the minimum because his health has recently shown a clear downward trend despite taking medication.
