Chapter 85: The Mist of Sin
It was after eight o’clock in the morning but William had no intention of going to the office. He still sat quietly in the study room and stared at the photo of the girl in a red dress.
Thirty years have passed and she is still the same, unchanged except that she knows how to dress and uses a bit of makeup.
– Maris, if you weren’t a vampire, maybe I would keep you by my side, cherish and take care of you like my wife. Unfortunately, you have something I need to get, which is… your blood.
He turned off the phone, leaned back against the back of the swivel chair, and closed his eyes.
That year, he took her home when he saw her in an accident on the road and gradually developed feelings for her.
However, the day he caught her stealing blood from the laboratory to drink, a crazy idea appeared in his mind.
– Dear Sir.
The sudden call did not startle William because he was waiting for this person.
Just now, although he heard a knock on the door, he remained silent, not wanting to answer because he was busy reminiscing.
– Uh, they still haven’t contacted you, right?
– Yes. Perhaps they will try to contact some doctors in the hematology institute. Ah, I heard the news that the police are secretly investigating the activities of the hematology and blood transfusion institute.
– Really? Then the better, it will be difficult for them to buy blood from there. They will soon commit a crime due to hunger and thirst, and the disappearance case that has lasted for decades will soon have an official conclusion.
– At that time, vampire hunters from everywhere will be summoned here and…
Before Henry could finish his sentence, William nodded, and immediately after that, they both burst into laughter, the savage smiles of cold-blooded murderers masquerading as doctors.
– Let’s find that woman and Lucasta as soon as possible.
– Yes. As for the body under the bridge…
– Just wait for the police to conclude.
– Yes.
To be honest, William was also quite confused when he saw the breaking news on the news. The vampires he knew were not yet at the point of running out of spare blood to do that.
Furthermore, because he had disguised the deaths of those two people, he was thinking that maybe someone else did it the same way he did.
Before leaving, Henry put a box down in front of William. After hesitating for a long time, William dared to open it. Inside is a small cross that has been sprinkled with holy water by the priest.
He was originally an atheist, but to protect himself, this was the only and most effective way. Until Samson and Harvey disappeared from the world, he was forced to carry this object with him.
Sharing the same anxiety and fear as William is Bonita. Although Harvey reassured her that Samson and Lucasta had gone to see Michael and that Michael had also said he would release a report concluding that it was done by vampires, she was still very confused because she had not seen the announcement until now.
After delivering the documents to the departments, she returned to Harvey’s office and sat with her hands clasped, her head bowed.
Harvey also hopes to have a conclusion soon because that is the only way to help his assistant feel secure.
– Is Ricky okay? He spoke up to start a conversation.
– Yes. The kid’s fine. She nodded and answered.
Time passed slowly and Harvey’s eyes never left the computer screen. He wants to be the first to see the news related to the information he is looking forward to.
– It’s already there, Bonita, the electronic newspaper has just been published.
Hearing his call, Bonita immediately rushed forward.
His fingers quickly clicked on the computer mouse, pulled the article down and read it quickly. Next to him, Bonita almost held her breath, eyes glued to the screen.
And when the conclusion that the perpetrator was a vampire caught their eyes, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
– The perpetrator is some vampire. Perhaps it is Samson. Harvey burst out laughing.
– Thank you. Bonita quickly wiped away the tears that had just spilled out of the corners of her eyes.
Waiting for her to be happy again, Harvey asked why she knew Henry and bought blood from him when he did not work at the hematology and blood transfusion institute.
In the past, her ancestors bought blood for Harvey from there, this generation introduced it to the next generation, and so on.
– Ten years ago, our old partner quit her job and introduced me to Henry. She said Henry was her colleague. All subsequent transactions went smoothly so I didn’t find out about him. I apologize for this carelessness.
– It will be fine. Michael will help us. Now let’s focus on making money.
Bonita smiled then took the stack of documents from his hand and sat down to check.
Since the night Cole passed away, the amount of work has been backlogged quite a bit.
Her insecure mood made her handle things slowly and haphazardly, causing Harvey to take more time to check and constantly comfort her.
Now that it’s good, she will focus all her energy to make up for the wasted time.
When dusk fell and Harvey and Bonita prepared to leave the company, William arrived at Sunshine restaurant. Today, he has a dinner appointment with police chief Jony.
– Hello William.
– Hello Jony.
The two powerful men happily shook hands and sat down to eat. Both of them have known each other for ten years, and can also be called close friends.
They’re both busy with work, so they haven’t seen each other often recently. Jony proactively invited William to this meal.
Although he said he wanted to have dinner with his friend, the real reason was that he wanted to see if William had revealed any negligence.
Honestly, Michael’s words made Jony unable to stop thinking.
After asking about his friend’s health and current work situation, William immediately asked Jony about the police secretly investigating the hematology and blood transfusion institute.
Although Jony was quite surprised and did not know where William heard the information from, because he was an experienced person, he understood that the person opposite him would not ask if the news was not true.
– Right. We received a secret order. There’s going to be a general inspection of the health sector and the government wants us to help them investigate a little first. According to reports from subordinates, their violations were not too many.
Jony answered while silently scolding the policeman named Michael. He was sure that Michael did this.
What is Michael investigating anyway?
He wants to dismiss his subordinates.
– So today you asked me to meet you…
– Yes, let you know in advance and also want to have a meal with you. People often say that if we don’t meet often, relatives will turn into strangers, let alone friends.
William laughed, quickly raised his glass invited Jony, and asked Jony to allow him to pay for this meal.
Inspections will usually be notified to agencies and units a few days in advance, but there will also be unexpected, unannounced inspections.
Therefore, this information is very valuable for a unit full of errors like the Institute of Medical Sciences.
While William smiled happily, Jony’s heart was churning. Michael’s actions forced him to lie and to cover up that lie, he revealed the secrets of the General Department of Inspection and Investigation.
Although William is his friend, he is also a very honest police officer.
Dinner is the end of the working day, but for Samson and Lucasta it is the beginning of their working time.
After changing clothes, he and she quickly moved to the suspects’ addresses and hid to observe them.
Of course, he and she only went to the private homes of those whose daytime movements Michael’s teammates felt were unusual.
It is also a way to eliminate unsuspicious subjects, shorten the process, and avoid wasting time.
If it weren’t for the fear that someone would break into the house and kidnap Lucasta, Samson wouldn’t have taken her with him.
Even if she followed him, it was not certain that she would be safe, but at least she was in his sight and he believed he could protect her. At most, she would suffer minor injuries if something unexpected happened.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
– The delivery vehicle looks suspicious. Lucasta whispered into Samson’s ear.
– Wait a minute, we’ll break into the warehouse when they leave.
Both of them stared at the truck backing up to the warehouse behind the villa.
Strong men from trucks quickly moved suspicious boxes into the warehouse. They act quickly and leave quickly.
As for the homeowner, after locking the warehouse door and checking around, he immediately went into the house, closed the door, and turned off the electricity.
When Samson was sure that the homeowner would not return, he and Lucasta approached the suspicious location.
Samson took her to the roof and broke the glass window used to let in light during the day, just enough for one person to get through.
– Careful. The temperature here is a bit low. Samson put Lucasta down and said.
Samson used a knife to cut a few boxes and realized they did not contain blood but contained animal organs and meat.
If Lucasta remembers correctly, this morning, the news talked about unclean food sources from abroad being brought into this country in large quantities.
Although the police are actively pursuing and preventing this crime, this criminal activity is still going on vigorously because the profits are too much.
– It stinks. Lucasta grimaced and frowned.
– Yes, but after being marinated with chemicals, they will become delicious fresh meat and make Lucasta salivate. Samson smiled, and wrapped his arms around her waist, preparing to take her out.
– Are you still teasing me? Can’t harvest anything. Lucasta lightly pinched him, pretending to be angry.
Before he took her away from the smelly warehouse, she took a few photos. She did not want her and Samson’s efforts to be meaningless.
Just consider her gathering evidence to help Michael destroy another dirty food consumption ring.
To her, this is also an act of murder, slowly killing people with rotten food.
He and she continued to go to other places. The routes they would travel on were planned and, of course, there were no hunters present. Michael directed the hunters to patrol on other roads, away from where the couple would travel.
Because of the specific nature of their work, they sleep during the day and stay up at night.
Lucasta felt like she was learning to adapt to vampire living habits rather than her husband learning to adapt to human living habits.
She suddenly felt that she was greedy, if only she could move fast and strong and still be human.
That’s all she wishes for, she doesn’t wish to be forever young and immortal.
