Chapter 408 Midnight Bounty Hunter 36
Xiang Yi didn't reveal much about the content of the three-way conversation to his subordinates. However, his furrowed brows betrayed his inner thoughts.

This matter is indeed somewhat tricky.

All bounty hunters were ordered to go on high alert in preparation for any eventuality.

However, something even more serious happened that very night.

A student has died at Foster College.

The death was horrific.

The student's blood had been completely drained. Since blood and water are difficult to separate in the human body, this mummified corpse contained almost no moisture. Its face was shriveled, resembling a dried-up corpse.

Humans have no hair on their skin, so the gruesome state of their deaths is far more terrifying than that of stray cats.

Bounty hunters and paranormal investigation teams arrived at the scene immediately.

The scene of the crime has been cordoned off by the police, and the entire area around it has been surrounded.

When Xiang Yi and Yu Muhuai arrived, members of the investigation team were already there.

And the people who came were not ordinary people.

Xue Wenqi, leader of the paranormal investigation team.

She is in her forties and is a successor of a magic sect. She is proficient in magic to exorcise demons and monsters, and used to be a soldier.

With this dual identity, Xue Wenqi also takes a two-pronged approach to dealing with supernatural creature incidents.

If magic can't handle it, then concentrate your firepower.

If firearms can't eliminate it, then magic can be used to purify it.

They truly achieved a balance, ensuring both aspects were handled well.

Judging by appearance alone, one would never guess that this gentle-looking woman possesses such ruthless and decisive methods.

Xue Wenqi was also one of those who suspected the Fan family was the culprit.

Upon seeing Xiang Yi, Xue Wenqi nodded and greeted him.

Xiang Yi squatted down in front of the corpse and carefully examined it from all angles.

Yu Muhuai followed Xiang Yi and also examined the body carefully.

Because his blood had been completely drained, the student's face was withered, resembling a zombie.

The only thing that could be seen was that the other person was a girl; it was difficult to discern her appearance.

Because the body's water was lost along with the blood, the skin on her face clung tightly to the bones, becoming completely sunken.

Finally, her identity was determined through the items she carried with her.

She is an ordinary junior in college, from an ordinary family, with an ordinary social status and simple social connections.

It's unclear why she was chosen as the first target.

However, this is only a preliminary investigation, and it cannot be ruled out that the girl may have had some unknown experiences. All of this still needs to wait for the detailed investigation results from the police.

There were two red spots on the deceased's neck.

Vampires can grow their fangs longer; these two red dots look like bite marks from fangs.

Xiang Yi and Xue Wenqi were discussing something on the side, while Yu Muhuai squatted down next to the corpse, wearing gloves, and began to examine it on his own.

She sniffed and detected an unusual smell.

This is a scent that only vampires can smell.

The corpse carried the scent of other vampires.

Yu Muhuai frowned.

This is different from my memories of my previous life.

In Qu Qingci's memory, the corpse found near Foster Academy in her previous life was only in a manner similar to that of a vampire, but it did not leave any scent.

Moreover, the deceased was different from the one in his memory.

In her memory, the first person to die was a boy. Qu Qingci remembered it so clearly because that boy was one of the most popular figures in the school.

The boy was handsome and came from a good family. Although he couldn't compare to Fan Xinze, he was still quite well-known at Foster College.

Moreover, the boy is very promiscuous; he has an apartment rented off-campus and often brings different girls home.

He died in his apartment.

But now, this girl has died in the grove of trees within Foster College.

Before the investigators arrived, the only footprints found in the grove were those of the young couple who discovered the body, and the deceased's own.

This also differs from the humanoid creature that Yu Muhuai and Xiang Yi had previously guessed.

What kind of creature doesn't leave footprints after killing someone?

Most importantly, there is this faint, almost imperceptible scent.

While Xue Wenqi was away, Yu Muhuai quietly pulled Xiang Yi aside and told him what he had discovered.

Xiang Yi frowned. "Are you sure?"

Yu Muhuai hesitated for a moment, "It does have the scent of a vampire, but I can't recognize who it is."

Moreover, the smell was very faint, much fainter than the lingering odor after ingesting blood; it was almost imperceptible if one didn't sniff carefully.

Xiang Yi crossed one arm and rested his chin on the other, muttering to himself, "It really is made by vampires."

Yu Muhuai stood to the side, her expression conflicted. She carefully recalled Qu Qingci's memories, comparing the two death cases, trying to find some clues.

Xiang Yi noticed Yu Muhuai's unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find anything else?"

After thinking for a moment, Yu Muhuai finally voiced his confusion.

"Team leader, the previous deaths of small animals didn't leave any scent. And last time, I tracked them down immediately after the incident, and we all deduced that they left in human form."

Why has everything changed this time? Shouldn't one be more cautious when committing murder? Isn't this situation very strange?

Xiang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Could it be because the murderer treated humans and animals differently?"

"Wait a minute, team leader. Think about it, even when killing animals, the perpetrators try their best not to leave any trace. How come when it's a human, they leave their scent instead?"

Xiang Yi put one hand on her hip and said, "That's possible. The killer isn't the same person?"

Yu Muhuai nodded, leaning towards this view.

However, because of his memories from his previous life, Yu Muhuai was convinced that the same organization must be behind the murderers who killed the small animals and the girl.

However, the criminal who personally carried out the crime may have changed.

As for the reason for the change, she doesn't know at the moment.

Xiang Yi informed Xue Wenqi of Yu Muhuai's discovery, and then they contacted the Fan family.

Upon hearing this, the Fan family immediately took it very seriously.

Soon, Van Boleyn arrived at Foster College with a group of vampires.

Among them was Van Boli's son, Viscount Van Xinze.

Fan Xinze hasn't come to school for the past week or two, and Yu Muhuai hasn't seen him for a long time either.

Foster College is really lively tonight.

Vampires, bounty hunters, and a paranormal investigation team—three giants—meet at a human university.

They share the same goal, but their perspectives are completely different.

Xue Wenqi became even more suspicious of Fan Boli, believing that the matter was inextricably linked to the Fan family.

Fan Boli, of course, strongly opposed it, defending the vampires and the Fan family, and trying to distance himself from them.

Xiang Yi stood to the side, unusually silent.
