"Found the vampire!"

Not long after, a knight of the guard came to the lord's bedroom and reported to Baldwin.

"Really, take me there quickly!"

Baldwin was about to go out immediately, but Edmund grabbed his brother: "Don't leave! Who will protect me when you leave?"

"I asked my subordinates to stay. They are all vampire hunters selected from a million."

"No! I just believe in Baldwin!"

Baldwin was very helpless at his brother's coquettish and confusing behavior. He said, "Brother, come down and change your clothes and go together."

"No, I'm so scared that my legs are weak and I can't walk."

The final result was that Baldwin carried his brother on his back, went down from the lord's room, and arrived at the scene where the vampire was discovered.

That was the stable of the castle, and it was now surrounded by hunters and knights of the guard.

This group of young men saw the funny look of the guild master carrying the lord on his back. They wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so they could only hold it in with all their strength.

"Brother, what did you put on your hands to make my neck sticky?" Baldwin was also complaining.

"It's a luxurious perfume imported from the Western Continent. Don't you smell the aroma of cloves and cardamom?"

Baldwin shook his head helplessly, then carried his brother on his back and walked into the crowd.

I saw that a big hole had been smashed into the roof of the stable, and a fat and black body was lying on the ground below.

Judging from the dark silver poison on the corpse, this guy was obviously hacked to death with a silver sword.

"When we found it, it was still in the form of a bat demon, but it only had one breath left. Everyone rushed up and chopped it to death with silver swords, and then it turned back into human form," said a vampire hunter.

"Isn't this Lacy, the lonely chef? He is actually a vampire?!" The Lord, who was lying on his younger brother's back, looked at the black body on the ground and screamed strangely.

Baldwin was speechless for a while. He also knew this cook and had eaten his cooking. Why did this guy suddenly turn into a vampire?

"No wonder he flew here after we found him, but doesn't he usually live in the castle? Why does he appear in the bungalow outside?"

"What bungalow?"

"We found him in a bungalow on Ruby Street. Brother, has he done anything suspicious in the past six months?"

"I don't know. You have to ask the chef Bi Anmi about Lacy."

So Baldwin sent one of his attendants to call Bienmi, the castle's chief cook.

While waiting for the head chef, Edmund suddenly muttered:

"By the way, you mentioned the bungalow just now. Now that I'm thinking about it, it seems that a servant told me that Lacy made a fortune and bought a bungalow in the city."

"That must be that house. Lacy used it as his hiding place."

Just as he was talking, a tall and thin guy ran over. He was Bi Anmi, the chef of the castle.

"Lacy's recent suspicious behavior? Let me think about it, uh, there doesn't seem to be anything suspicious."

"There can be no suspicious behavior. When humans are transformed into vampires, most of them will flee to places where vampires live. Not only did Lacy not escape, but he also bought a bungalow and lurked there. He must be planning something."

Baldwin thought Lacy might even be related to Collins.

But at this time, he had not told his brother about Collins turning into a vampire baron, so he put the idea into his stomach.

"If I really want to talk about suspicious behavior, it was probably last month when I slaughtered a cow in the kitchen and Lashifei wanted to bleed the cow, so she got into an argument with me. Everyone knows that beef without bleeding tastes better."

"Most likely he wanted to release the blood and drink it secretly. It seems that the blood of animals can somewhat alleviate the vampire's hunger and thirst. Are there any other doubts?"

Laci has already used his own body to prove that he is a vampire, so this kind of boring suspicion is actually useless.

Baldwin's main concern was to find out if there were any companions of Lacy in the city.

"And...and...by the way! He likes to sleep in during the day recently, and has delegated the errands of breakfast and lunch to other chefs."

"None of this is important. Has he had any contact with anyone suspicious recently?"

"I have no impression, but he has been going to church more recently."

"Church? Why do vampires go to church?"

At this time, Jiang Xiaotan reminded from the side: "Master, could it be related to the heresy inquisitor a few days ago?"

"Yeah, that makes sense."

"What Inquisitor?" the old knight asked from the side.

There was a vampire among the Inquisitors, which was not a glorious thing, so the church blocked the relevant information.

"It's nothing. A vampire that Kain killed a few days ago is related to the church, but the clergy have to deal with it internally and won't let us interfere."

The church was unwilling to make a big deal out of the matter. It just launched an internal investigation and purge. Naturally, it would not take the initiative to tell Baldwin and others about the results of the investigation.

"When it comes to those gods...the clergy are trouble!" Baldwin complained, and he almost impulsively uttered the ungodly word "gods".

Now that clues point to the church, things get complicated.

"Let's go, take this fat man's body with you, and let's go to that bungalow to look for any clues." Baldwin could only place his hope on what the vampire left behind before his death.

"No! Baldwin, who will protect me when you leave?"

"Okay, brother, isn't this vampire dead?"

"But now that one has been discovered, maybe there are other vampires hiding in the castle."

"It is indeed possible. Well, I can ask Nanny to help and let her personally explore the souls of the guards and servants in the castle to see if there are any vampires lurking inside."

"Okay! This is a good idea!"

"Uh, is it necessary to go to such trouble?" Jiang Xiaotan said, "Can't we just bring a bucket of holy water from the guild and let everyone in the castle take a sip or wash their hands? For vampires, they will burn if they touch the holy water, right?

"

Baldwin slapped his head: "Yeah, there's no need for a laborer anymore, let's do it this way."

After saying that, he sent a hunter to take the castle's servants back to the guild to get holy water, and then sent the timid Edmund away.

Then the group of them took the vampire's body and returned to the bungalow on Ruby Street.

There was almost no furniture in the bungalow. There was a large coffin in the bedroom, and the hunters found a dark red dress next to it.

"This should be that woman's skirt."

"It's really difficult for the cook. This skirt is so tight around the waist. Can he wear it?"

Everyone burst into laughter, but Jiang Xiaotan murmured in his heart.

He recalled the witness testimony of the bar owner. Normally, such a fat man wearing women's clothing should leave a deep impression on people. Why didn't the owner mention a word about the characteristic of "obesity"?

At this time, Baldwin interrupted his thoughts: "Okay, stop laughing, get moving and look for any other clues."

However, there are really no clues to be found in the empty bungalow.

"Is there any mechanism or secret door?" Jiang Xiaotan asked.

This sentence reminded everyone, and the hunters began to knock on the wall with their sword hilts, trying to find the secret door.

"The sound here is different from other places." Evely said suddenly.

She pointed to a piece of ground next to the coffin and said.

Baldwin knocked on that floor, and there was a thump-dong-dong sound, and when he knocked on the floor next to it, there was a dull sound of pop-pop.

"Dig this place up."

The hunters picked up their tools and started chipping away. After digging for a long time, they discovered to their embarrassment that there was a movable cover under the floor, which could be opened by gently rubbing it.

After opening it, there is a small storage space with a small box inside.

"It's locked, it's hard to do."

"Look for Lacy's keys or anything."

Several hunters who didn't mind the dirty work started digging around on Lacy's body, but after searching for a long time, they found nothing.

"Can you break it open?"

"Why don't you let Kain try it?" Everyone still vividly remembers the scene when the door was opened.

So the box was passed to Jiang Xiaotan, and the noble master looked confused: "It's just a coincidence that I opened the door. I'm not a lock-picking machine..."

Unexpectedly, he took the box and pulled it casually, and the lid of the box opened with a click.

"Okay, your nickname from now on will be 'Unlock Machine'." Baldwin joked.

Everyone burst into laughter again. Jiang Xiaotan opened the box a little depressed and took out the things inside one by one.

There was a dagger inlaid with precious stones, a small bag of money, and several letters.

The money was not much, just a few dozen Constantine gold coins, but the dagger seemed quite valuable.

Baldwin and the old knight each took a letter, opened it and read it.

However, these letters were all written in cipher text, and to both of them, they looked like strange ghostly symbols.

Only one letter was written in plain text, but the names of the people in it were all codenames.

The code name is very simple. It uses the first four letters of the world's language to refer to four people. In Jiang Xiaotan's eyes, these four people can be called abcd for the time being.

The letter was written by b to a. It mentioned that c in the Zhuye Empire did not seem to accept a and b, but recently there seemed to be a big shot d in Constantine. B suggested that a find a way to get in touch with this d. This root

The thighs are much thicker than C.

"I didn't expect that vampires from the Zhu Ye Empire would be involved."

If possible, Baldwin didn't want to deal with "civilized" vampires.

It's not because those vampires follow their own set of rules and won't attack humans casually.

Simply because they are too powerful.

Not to mention the rumors that there are a large number of earls, marquises, dukes, and prince-level vampires in the Zhu Ye Empire. The current Queen of the Night alone is enough to shake the entire world.

There is an unspoken rule in the vampire hunter industry, which is to only hunt ownerless wild vampires and try not to provoke vampires from the Zhu Ye Empire.
