Chapter 412 Midnight Bounty Hunter 40
Yu Muhuai turned to look at Xiang Yi beside him, "The smell of this corpse is the same as the lingering smell around the corpse in the grove the night before last. The murderer should be the same person."

The preliminary investigation results at the scene are in; the window was opened from the outside.

This is the 10th floor. The apartment management is generally good, and there are many security cameras in the complex, so it's normal not to lock the windows at night.

Besides, the weather is nice right now, so there's no need to turn on the air conditioner.

Zhao Lele locked the doors and windows before leaving the house, so there are signs that her windows were forcibly opened.

No useful traces of the criminals were found in either room.

The only clue was that smell.

"The saliva from the neck of the first corpse has been extracted, but because the genetic structure of vampires and humans is different, it will take a long time to find the corresponding gene sequence."

Furthermore, vampires are extremely averse to this kind of medical research, considering it an insult and a form of spying on them. They fear that humans might use this research to develop biological weapons specifically targeting them.

Therefore, humans possess very little of the vampire's genetic sequence, making it even more impossible to determine their identity through saliva.

Xiang Yi's subordinates reported from the side, and Yu Muhuai listened to the whole thing.

This is a point that vampires repeatedly emphasized when they signed a peace treaty with humans a hundred years ago.

Not to mention living vampires, they don't even allow humans to take away vampire corpses, or even some organs, hair, or other parts.

Two days ago, Xue Wenqi suggested that all vampires should be examined and their saliva compared with that found at the crime scene.

Fan Boli refused.

Even though all the negative comments and evidence are pointing to the Fan family, Fan Boli remains steadfast in his principle and will absolutely not allow it to be crossed.

His concerns are justified.

The current balance between vampires and humans is mainly due to the vampires' formidable strength.

Whether it's their innate physical structure or the family heritage passed down for thousands of years, they have a foothold in the world's economy and people's livelihood.

However, the number of vampires is far too small compared to the number of humans scattered throughout the world.

The first criterion for negotiations between the two sides is a balance of power and mutual checks and balances.

If one side is too weak, then it is not negotiation, but suppression, a one-sided compromise.

Human technology is developing rapidly these days. If we were to develop a biological weapon specifically designed to counter vampires, they would certainly be unable to defend themselves.

This is a bottom line that vampires cannot cross. Even if everyone misunderstands and thinks he killed someone, Fan Boli will never agree to it.

Xue Wenqi knew the vampires' insistence, and she was merely offering her opinion. As expected, she received strong opposition from the vampires.

Before everything is clear, it is impossible for humanity to break the treaty and start a war against vampires.

A century of peace is hard-won. If things really break down, then humanity's enemies will certainly not be limited to vampires alone.

Instead, they are countless supernatural beings.

For many years, humans have become accustomed to their current lives, and most ordinary people have only heard of, but never seen, those supernatural creatures.

Supernatural beings possess a wide variety of abilities, and some have ways to silently infiltrate ordinary people's homes.

If war were to break out suddenly, humanity would certainly suffer enormous losses.

Xue Wenqi was unwilling to become a historical sinner.

As the leader of the supernatural creature investigation team, she has been mingling between humans and otherworldly beings for many years.

She knows when to use a tough approach and when to slow down.

We've done and said everything we needed to to the vampires before, so we can't push them too hard now.

Xue Wenqi agreed to give the vampires two weeks to conduct an internal investigation and find the culprit. Fan Boli did not come in person today; instead, Fan Xinze and several high-ranking vampires came.

On behalf of his father and the Fan family, Fan Xinze agreed to the two-week deadline.

Zhao Lele and the others were kept outside the cordon, so although they could see Fan Xinze, they could not hear their conversation.

When Zhao Lele saw Fan Xinze, she was dumbfounded and extremely surprised.

She asked Zhao Sujie in a low voice what was going on.

These are extraordinary times, and the Fan family is highly suspected of murder.

After considering it for a while, Zhao Sujie decided it would be better for his daughter to avoid the other party, so he didn't hide it.

"That's a vampire viscount, a direct descendant of the powerful Fan family."

Zhao Lele had already stopped sobbing. Her red eyes were wide open, her mouth slightly agape, and she was still a little dazed.

But she quickly realized what was going on.

Yu Muhuai is a vampire, and Fan Xinze is a vampire too. That's normal!
Otherwise, how could those two date?
After figuring it out, Zhao Lele immediately had a look of sudden realization.

The gossip temporarily extinguished her inner fear and diverted some of her attention, making her less panicked now.

However, Zhao Sujie still took Zhao Lele away from the apartment building.

If I'm not mistaken, the killer's initial target was Zhao Lele.

Zhao Lele was spared because she had drunk too much and wasn't home.

But the murderer went so far as to kill the person in the next room.

Such a somewhat deranged murderer might find another opportunity to harm Zhao Lele.

Not to mention Zhao Lele next door, everyone in the entire apartment building packed up and left after hearing about the murder. Some stayed with friends temporarily, while others moved out without even asking for their deposits back.

Zhao Sujie not only plans to bring Zhao Lele home, but he also doesn't want her to go to school anymore.

However, Zhao Lele strongly objected, not wanting to be confined at home.

Therefore, Zhao Sujie had no choice but to compromise.

However, he insisted on personally picking her up and dropping her off at school every day, and forbade her from going out for late-night snacks.

Zhao Lele was distressed, but all she could do was pray that the murderer would be caught soon.

Yu Muhuai and Xiang Yi continued their on-site investigation, but Fan Xinze, finding no further clues, turned and left the apartment building.

Refusing to be followed by his subordinates, Fan Xinze returned to his apartment alone.

This place is also not far from Foster College, but it's in the opposite direction from Zhao Lele's apartment.

This place is very expensive and has a very large area; there is only one household on each floor.

Fan Xinze lives on the top floor, in a duplex with two floors.

After leaving the crime scene and returning to his apartment, Fan Xinze, who has severe mysophobia, immediately went to take a shower.

When he came out wearing a bathrobe, he saw an unexpected person in the bedroom.

Fan Xinze's facial expressions have been changing quite a bit lately, and he looked at the other person with great surprise.
