Police Detective Bureau.
Robbery and Murder Departnt First Interrogation Room.
Faced with such a large presence, the xican man selling plasma seed sowhat frightened, his face covered in sweat.
"Guys, you've got it wrong, I'm just selling plasma."
Luke asked, "What's your na?"
"Pearce Dom."
"Where did you get your plasma?"
"Bought it."
"Where did you buy it from?"
"From... I don't know who he is exactly, it was just a cash-for-goods deal. I never asked for his ID, and he doesn't know who I am."
Luke advised, "Pearce, the plasma you were carrying has been sent off for testing, you should be aware that it's not just ordinary plasma, and you know what else it contains.
We've done a lot of investigation beforehand, and the Holy Blood you're selling isn't just simple plasma.
If you cooperate with the police, you can beco a cooperating witness and indict other suspects, earning a favorable plea agreent.
On the other hand, if you say nothing,
your accomplices will turn to indict you, and then not only will you fail to get a favorable plea agreent,
you might even be indicted as the mastermind behind the case—you should understand the difference."
After thinking it over, Pearce Dom asked, "What kind of immunity agreent can I get if I talk?"
"You can make a hypothetical statent first. We'll make a judgnt based on the actual situation. If we can reach a consensus on a plea, the plea agreent and the confession would hold.
If we cannot reach a consensus on pleading guilty, hypothetical statents won't be accepted in court and won't be used as evidence against you by the prosecution."
"Will I face retaliation?"
"As long as you're willing to identify the mastermind, our police will naturally provide corresponding protection. Moreover, his sentence will definitely be longer than yours; you don't need to worry about that." Under Luke's persuasion, Pearce was starting to waver.
"You guys are right, this isn't ordinary plasma, it contains a substance that can cause extre excitent and hallucinations.
That's why it's called Holy Blood."
"What substance does Holy Blood contain?"
"I'm not sure, I've just joined recently and haven't gained their trust yet."
"How many people are in your organization, and who is in charge?"
"Darcy is the head. He was the one who approached to sell. I'm not sure if there are others.
But from the way Darcy organizes things, there must be others like in charge of selling."
"How does Darcy deliver the goods to you?"
"He would call in advance to have wait at the place we sell, then he'd drive the goods over."
Luke comnted, "That's not a very smart thod."
Pearce said, "Previously, Darcy handled the sales alone. It was only after his goods started moving well and he beca too busy that he hired to help.
We are still in an adjustnt period."
Luke asked, "On the evening of June 1st, were you also selling plasma at Dracula Bar?"
"No, I hadn't joined yet. This is my first ti selling at Dracula Bar."
Luke smiled, "Of course, whenever you're caught for the first ti, you always say it's your first ti."
"I swear, I really just joined. I started selling for the first ti on June 5th, I have nothing to do with the vampire biting incident on June 1st."
"You're aware of the vampire biting incident that happened behind Dracula Bar."
"Yes, the incident has beco well-known. That's why there are so many custors in the bar. The bar has good business, lots of vampire fans, and that makes the plasma business easier.
Darcy was too busy alone, which is why he recruited ."
"You said your first ti selling was on June 5th. Where did you sell?"
Pearce fell silent.
Luke continued, "If you don't tell us, once we catch Darcy, he will speak, and if the police accept his testimony, it'll be very bad for you. You should understand this."
"OK, we went to a singer's album release party."
"Which singer?"
"Angela."
"And then?"
"Since it was my first ti selling, there was a lot I didn't understand about how to sell. Darcy had follow him, telling how to pick potential custors,
how to sell the goods as quickly as possible."
Luke pressed, "You must know about Angela's murder, right?"
"Yes, this incident was quite a sensation, and we heard about it afterward."
Luke probed, "Did you kill Angela?"
"No, we didn't do that. We were just selling plasma. Everything else is unrelated to us. We just saw Angela from a distance and never had close contact with her."
"How did you sell the plasma to Angela?"
"Angela's agent, a guy nad Jinmu, wouldn't let us near Angela. It was he who bought two bags of plasma from us."
"How much plasma did you sell that night?"
"About twenty or more bags, I guess. Angela's fans are all vampire fanatics, quite crazy, especially when Angela was performing on stage. The atmosphere was really great. Although I don't believe in vampires, I was still stunned."
As for Angela's fans, they were practically going insane.
I have a feeling that Angela was definitely killed by a fan.
Only those kinds of freaks would drink human blood directly."
Luke responded, "Is that how you see your own custors?"
"I just entered this business, to be honest, and I'm already regretting it. I shouldn't have believed Darcy's nonsense.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be in the predicant I am now."
"Do you still rember to whom you sold?"
"Well, there were n, won, black people, and white people. All those folks were dressed eccentrically. Normally, I would rember, but when everyone's dressed abnormally, I just can't recall."
"Where is Darcy now?"
"I don't know."
"Can you contact him now?"
"He's a cautious person. Usually, he contacts . Even if I call him proactively, his phone usually doesn't go through."
"When does Darcy usually contact you?"
"At two in the morning, he would call for to turn in the money."
"Is he still selling goods himself?"
"From what I know about him, he certainly sells himself. He's the type of person who calculates a lot, never hiring one more person than he needs.
If it wasn't for the market expanding and him being too busy to manage alone, he certainly wouldn't have hired ."
Luke retorted, "You seem to know him well, not like soone you just t."
"Yes, we've known each other for a long ti. He used to be a poor kid just like , even worse off than . When he suddenly beca wealthy, I was quite surprised."
"Where does he frequently sell goods?"
"I only know about that album party and Dracula Bar. Other places, I really don't know. Like I said, he's very cautious. Unless it's necessary, he won't tell ."
"What kind of car does Darcy drive, and what's the plate number? You must have seen that."
"A black Volvo, license plate 8Aeb392"
Luke wrote it down in his notebook, "I will verify all the information you provided. You better not be lying.
It not only wastes police ti but also does no good for you."
"I swear, I definitely won't."
Pierce pulled out a dental mold, "Do you hate Darcy?"
"Of course, if it weren't for his misleading, I wouldn't be sitting here."
"Good, then think of this object as Darcy and bite down hard."
"Why should I do this? Can I refuse?"
"Are you the killer who murdered Angela?"
"NO."
"Then, what else are you worried about?"
Pearce hesitated for a mont, but eventually bit down.
The mold was imdiately sent to the technical division for urgent testing.
Subsequently, the Robbery and Murder Departnt's first team began investigating Darcy's mobile number and his car.
The case was urgent. If news of Pearce's arrest leaked, Darcy might likely run away.
Therefore, the police had to track down Darcy's whereabouts with all their might tonight.
Luke had no choice but to work overti.
Soon, the technical division sent a ssage stating the mobile number provided by Pearce was out of contact and temporarily could not be located.
Afterward, the police changed their investigation into two directions: first to track Darcy's black Volvo sedan.
Second, according to Pearce, Darcy would call him at two in the morning to instruct him to et at a predetermined location and hand over the money.
That would be the best opportunity for capture.
