Chapter 287: Scarlet

 Before entering the hotel, Yi Xing reminded everyone that this investigation should not make a big fuss.

Try to pretend to be an ordinary tourist.

Otherwise it may cause unnecessary trouble.

On this point, the hotel and the police also have a consensus.

Therefore, they were not asked to go to the police station to see the information they needed to know. Instead, a plainclothes policeman was sent to bring it.

Not long after they opened the room, the policeman came to the front of Yi Xing's house, handed them the materials, and had a conversation.

Afterwards, he took everyone to the scene to have a look.

This case happened yesterday.

A man died in a room on the third floor of the hotel, with all his blood drained from his body.

On the walls of the guest room, there were many words "death" written in blood. But they were not written in the blood of the deceased.

Judging from the autopsy results, he died at about two o'clock in the morning. The cause of death was excessive blood loss. The only wound was a bite mark on his neck. According to the identification, it matched that of a vampire. However, it was not certain that the murderer was of that race.

There were no signs of a fight or forced entry. The murderer may have entered through an open window.

The deceased did not even wake up, he died in his dream.

The hotel corridor was monitored, but no abnormality was found. There were no obvious outsider footprints at the scene.

Currently, all known vampire residents nearby are being investigated, but nothing has been gained yet.

When the police introduced this place, Imamura Shigei snorted and said that this was an important reason why she hated vampire crimes.

Every time they did something, she would easily be treated as a prisoner by the police and questioned to death, which would make her extremely annoying. She really didn't like being presumed guilty.

There are also some police officers who are just crazy, insisting that she go to the police station to record a statement. They know clearly that she has difficulty moving during the day, but they still insist on letting her come right away. It is really inhumane.

Jiuyi thought that if he really couldn't wait until night and wanted to hear the confession right away, he should come to her instead of causing her unilateral trouble.

The plainclothes policeman was also very embarrassed when he heard this. He apologized for his colleague and said that the police in Yangmu City would never do this and asked her to rest assured.

After hearing this, Yi Xing really felt that something was wrong.

After all, Shiuyi didn’t live here in the first place!

Whether the Yangmu City police would do this or not seems to have nothing to do with her in the first place.

In this case, what should we worry about?

The policeman left shortly after showing them the scene.

Before leaving, he asked everyone how they planned to solve this case. Since Yi Xing didn't have any ideas yet, he could only say that he was still thinking about it.

After watching the police leave, Yi Xing closed the door of the scene and said so.

"So, this is the only clue we have right now. It's almost like nothing. There seems to be no chance of solving the case without using magic. Do you have any ideas?"

Erina and Shigei Imamura both had ideas.

The breakthrough point lies in the word "blood".

Since it was not written with the blood of the deceased and the murderer was a vampire, these blood words were probably formed by magic.

It hasn't been long since they appeared here, so by performing spell analysis on these blood words, you may be able to get some clues.

After confirming that they wanted to do this, the two of them cast spells together, and quickly separated the spellcaster's own aura from the spell aura, and further analyzed his emotions when creating these blood words.

The murderer was extremely angry and filled with hatred when he committed the murder.

However, the hatred was not directed at the victim himself, but something else.

In addition, Imamura Shigei also analyzed the identity of the murderer in this breath.

He is a vampire, not a vampire.

Both are vampires, but the difference is that vampire demons are undead, and their consciousness is often not clear, and they will be driven to action by the obsessions and resentments of their lives.

Vampires are alive and have free will. It doesn't matter if you want to live very diligently or if you want to be a loser.

The conclusion that Erina could draw was that this was an undead soul, and she could not draw the same detailed conclusion as Miss Shigei.

This is because Dioyi is a vampire and is more familiar with the aura of his own race. Moreover, these blood words are also created using the spells of the vampires, and Dioyi has a higher resolution on them.

So far, the analysis of this information has reached its limit.

Shigei still needed more information to continue the investigation. She was already so sleepy that she yawned and desperately wanted to take a good rest.

Based on the characteristics of the vampire spirit and the fact that the murderer had no grudge against the deceased, after discussion, several people decided to investigate in this direction: Is there any deceased who had any grudge against the hotel and its owner?

The death time of the deceased cannot be too long, the location of the body cannot be too far away, and the cause of death must be a sudden death or directly related to the boss and this store.

This does not mean that if you violate the above rules, the deceased will not turn into a vampire spirit and come back to take revenge. But it means that the possibility is relatively low. We will not consider it for now.

Now that we have these investigation directions, of course everyone starts taking action immediately. Only Imamura Shigei wants to stay and sleep.

After asking the boss and going to the police station to check the information, everyone came to the following conclusions.

It seems that the boss has indeed done something bad, but the police have no relevant records.

The reason why it is said that he should have harmed someone is because he was obviously a little nervous when asked related questions such as "Does he have any grudge against anyone?"

The police also noticed this, but there was no evidence so they could not investigate further.

This caused the investigation to temporarily stall.

Since the boss was really suspicious, Asakura, who was always good at breaking rules, immediately came up with this idea.

"Hey, how about we sneak into the boss's room and look for any diaries that record his crimes?"

"It's not good." Yi Xing felt a little helpless after hearing this: "I'm not talking about breaking the law, and I'm not saying that he is just a suspect. We can't be sure that this matter is related to him. Just talking about what we are looking for is not enough.

It’s very possible.”

"That's right! For example, if you killed someone, would you write it down in your diary?" Erina complained: "Normal people would not leave such evidence! They must want to eliminate the secret more and more.

The more radical the better!”

"That's right." Yoshiyuki continued: "Of course, I'm not saying that there will definitely be no evidence. The victim's personal belongings may still be preserved for some purpose. In short, you can't just enter other people's rooms and look through them now.

If you look for it, you will alert the enemy."

"Okay! We're not going." After hearing this, Asakura looked depressed: "Then what are we doing now?"

"Perhaps we should change our thinking." Yi Xing pondered for a moment and then put forward: "Compared with the police, it is better to ask the people around the boss... Listen, let's do this."
