811 Capturing the Vampire (1/2)

Mo Wen had not expected the criminal to be a vampire.

Two puncture holes could be seen in the female corpse's neck. It was a mark that only fangs could make. The female corpse's blood had been sucked dry from this puncture wound.

Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly. There had been two similar cases in the neighborhood. The victims were both young and beautiful women. It was a classic rape and murder case.

Mo Wen had been thinking that the city was not particularly safe at the moment, but now it seemed that the culprit was no ordinary person.

”This person has come to Hua Xia to harm its people. He's seeking death.” Mo Wen's eyes were extremely cold. The first murder in the neighborhood had happened on the day he moved in. He found out that someone had died the moment he arrived. The second murder occurred on the third day after he moved in. Even he did not expect to encounter two murders just three days after arriving.

Mo Wen had to cultivate at night and could not keep an eye on the entire neighborhood at the same time. Furthermore, releasing his deified soul expended too much of his energy and he could not keep on stretching it out. He had thought that the police would be able to solve the case quickly and apprehend the murderer. But it now seemed that the ordinary police would be incapable of handling this case.

The ambulance whistled past, carrying the body. The police secured the scene and left after gathering data and samples. The place where the murder occurred had been cordoned off to prevent residents from entering and destroying the scene.

Mo Wen appeared in the resident's home without a sound. The place was about a hundred meters square and was empty. It was very clean and orderly. It was evident that there had not been a struggle during the murder.

”Indeed…”

Mo Wen's nose twitched. He smelt something odd. It smelt like blood.

Mo Wen harrumphed coldly. ”How dare a Westerner come to the East and create trouble.” Some supernatural beings of the west might be hiding in Hua Xia, but they usually did not dare to be so arrogant. To do something like this, again and again, was practically issuing a challenge.

”Oh?”

Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and he disappeared. The door was pushed open from the outside by someone.

A group of people entered the room. They were all women. The person leading the group was a beautiful woman with a horn. She seemed extremely handsome. It was none other than Jin Ying, the leader of Huatian Palace's Yeyuan team.

”Jin Ying, we just received news that the previous murders were all committed by vampires. There must be a vampire hidden close by.” A woman who was in her 30s held a report that had various tests listed on it.

”Vampire. Hrmph! How dare he!” Jin Ying harrumphed coldly. The police station had immediately sent the examination report of Miss Yang Chenlin of the Yang family to the other departments of Huatian Palace. The police could not do anything about such cases and they were usually handled by Huatian Palace.

”Leader, according to the patterns we can now see, the vampire will probably strike again. It is difficult for us to seek him out. How about we just wait here for him to turn up?” a member of Yeyuan team suggested. This was the third murder in the neighborhood. The previous two cases were treated as usual criminal cases and were not reported to Huatian Palace. Now that Huatian Palace had taken over the case and a professional had done the autopsy, they had been able to determine that the previous two murders were committed by the same vampire.

”Then let us wait. That Western rat had better not get caught by me, or I'll make his life a living hell.”

Vampires liked to suck the blood of virgins. Yang Chenlin was a rule-abiding girl who was focused on her studies. She had never dated and was a virgin. That was why Yang Chenlin was the only victim out of the three to have her blood sucked.

”The Martial Arts Circle Convention is about to be held. Some foreign powers have entered the country under the guise of attending the convention. They appear to be here for the convention but all have secret plans. According to what I know, the Gods Alliance and the Demon Gods Alliance have both sent men over. Furthermore, these people are not average warriors. Don't let your guard down,” Jin Ying said gravely.

Trouble always occurred in Hua Xia every time the Martial Arts Circle Convention was held. It was the busiest period for Huatian Palace as they not only had to restrain the foreign powers inside the country, but they also had to guard against them as well. Of the four major halls of Huatian Palace, almost 70 percent of the executors were on missions around the country and had never been busier.

”Lady boss, rest assured. Leave everything here to me. The neighborhood is not big and I am certain that I will be able to immediately find out even should a mosquito enter.”

”Alright, Xiao Yuan. You organize a team that will be in charge of the surveillance in the area.”

...

The group searched around the room and then left. They disappeared from the neighborhood completely moments later.

”Huatian Palace is indeed efficient. The vampire is so reckless. I wonder who he is.” Mo Wen emerged from the corner. He was not surprised by the appearance of the members of Huatian Palace. Their network covered all corners of the country. Something like this could not be hidden from them. However, he did not expect that Jin Ying would bring her Yeyuan team here personally. They were the elite of Vermilion Bird Palace Hall and were all at least five stars executors. Some of them were even six stars executors. They would not come out for any ordinary matter. It was obvious that Huatian Palace was treating this matter seriously.

Night fell. Mo Wen cultivated in the room above the clinic. To him, cultivation was something that he had to do every day. He must not stop even for a day. If he did not practice consistently, he would not be able to go far. It was as though he were a small stream, aiming to collect himself to form the sea. Every powerhouse cultivated step by step.

However, Mo Wen was not especially focused on his cultivation tonight. He had sent out a large portion of his deified soul to cover the neighborhood.
