Early morning, Mochi Burger Diner.
This diner is quite famous in the area and has been around for decades, with the average age of the chefs and waitstaff around fifty.
An elderly man with white hair, yawning, walked into the diner.
"Good morning, Vincent, what would you like to eat?" a Caucasian middle-aged woman in decent shape approached him.
"The usual." the deputy glanced at the middle-aged Caucasian woman and wrinkled his nose, "You put on perfu today, haha, you didn't do that just for , did you?"
The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes, "I can't believe you still have a working sense of sll at your age; it's unbelievable."
The deputy "..."
Can't we have a normal conversation?
Soon, the middle-aged woman brought over a beef burger al.
Beef burger, fries, coffee.
The deputy took a big sip of coffee first, to wake up.
Since yesterday afternoon, he had been studying that blood pattern and had looked up a lot of information about vampires, but co evening… he actually couldn't sleep.
Damn it, at his age and still a police officer, he was suffering from insomnia over vampires.
He wasn't a cowardly person.
But after reading too much about vampires, whenever he closed his eyes, he felt as though a pair of crimson eyes were staring at him; even though he knew it was fake, he still felt uneasy.
It was embarrassing.
At his age, to be afraid of vampires, he felt a bit red-faced himself.
But this eerie culture is truly oppressive— fangs, coffins, blood-sucking, darkness; dealing with all this all day, it would be strange if there weren't any problems.
Looking at it this way, the death of the singer Angela was not an accident, but rather the result of long-term exposure and spreading of negative emotions.
The deputy ate his burger while glancing at the news, an old habit of his.
However, as he watched, he was stunned.
The victim's manager Jinmu, dressed in a black suit, was being interviewed by reporters.
"Isn't this bastard supposed to be missing? How did he end up on TV?" the deputy asked, pointing at the screen, "Katila, is this news from today?"
The middle-aged woman nodded, "Not only is it from today, but it's also live."
...
9:30 AM.
Robbery and Murder Departnt conference room.
Susan glanced at everyone, "Everyone is here, let's start the eting."
Little Black asked, "Where are the deputy and David?"
Susan countered, "Do you miss them?"
"No, I can't wait to be happy without those two annoyances."
Susan said, "This morning, the deputy found a trace of Jinmu and called David to investigate together."
Luke yawned, "How did the deputy find the lead?"
Susan pointed to the TV hanging overhead, "This morning, Jinmu accepted a live interview from a TV station."
Little Black said, "This guy has been avoiding the police, hasn't he? How did he suddenly show up on the news?"
"It seems he wasn't avoiding the police," Luke recalled those crazy fans, the word 'perverts' flashed through his mind.
Susan pressed on, "Yesterday, when you took statents from Angela's fans, did you find anything?"
Yesterday, Luke and Little Black rushed to the agent Jinmu's house and didn't find Jinmu, but instead ran into a group of Angela's fans.
Most of these fans were die-hard ones who attended the new album party the night before.
They were also the last group of people who had contact with Angela, possibly witnesses to the case, so Luke took their statents.
With just Luke and Little Black, they certainly couldn't handle it alone, so they called Raymond and Jenny.
It took the four of them over three hours to complete statents for Angela's fans.
Luke said, "Many of those fans attended the album release party last night, and many of them had been drinking, so their recall of the events isn't very clear.
But they all had one thing in common: none of them liked Jinmu much.
Additionally, these fans belonged to that rather fanatical type, which was quite morable.
Quite a few of them believe in real vampires."
Little Black continued, "Yeah, this crazy group wore earrings, nose rings, lip rings, chest piercings, belly rings; one nutjob even tattooed Angela's portrait on his girlfriend's back.
Holy moly, what was he thinking?
If I were his girlfriend, I would go insane."
Luke was sowhat amused, "You really do pick out the oddest things."
Little Black laughed, "They're all interesting folks; I wouldn't mind getting to know them better."
"Ahem..." Susan cleared her throat and glared at Little Black, "Raymond, tell us about taking down their statents."
Raymond said, "Many of Angela's fans have priors; they are a group that glorifies bloodshed and violence.
Moreover, according to a fan with a lip ring, he witnessed Angela and Jinmu arguing in the backstage hallway.
If Angela hadn't held him back, he might have beaten up Jinmu."
Susan nodded, "It seems like the deputy and his team might have gotten sowhere this ti."
"Thud thud..."
The conference room door knocked.
"Co in."
Tech departnt's Mary entered, "Everyone, I have the latest forensic report.
The substance found in the victim's body was a hallucinogenic drug.
Additionally, the blood found in the victim's stomach, after DNA comparison, has identified the blood owner."
