Clues from the Blood Clan

“Can we find any other clues from him?”

Yuan Shirui had been investigating here specifically.

Winnie walked forward and continued to ask.

Su Ran, who was following beside Winnie, also took this opportunity to walk over to the vampire corpse and observe it.

Su Ran couldn’t detect the power of a Holy Stone from the corpse, but its drained blood told her that their methods had some similarities.

“It’s difficult. Everything on this vampire that could prove his identity is gone. All that’s left is a worn-out white shirt. We haven’t found any clothing or weapons. It’s really hard to find clues from him.”

Faced with Winnie’s question, Yuan Shirui shook her head.

She could use magic to determine the time of death, but when it came to finding clues, she was still no match for those security officers.

“He must be at least a noble, or rather, he belongs to a class that doesn’t worry about food and clothing.”

Just as Winnie and Yuan Shirui were at a standstill, Su Ran suddenly spoke up.

“Why do you say that?”

Hearing Su Ran speak, Winnie, who had temporarily found no other way forward, began to ask her for her reasoning.

Yuan Shirui, who was beside her, also showed a curious gaze, wanting to know where she had found the clue.

Su Ran squatted down, pressing down on her skirt to avoid any mishaps, and flipped open the vampire’s collar, revealing fair skin.

“I’m not particularly familiar with the vampire class system, but if he were someone who often had to do manual labor, his hands wouldn’t have such fair and delicate skin.”

The collar flipped open by Su Ran revealed smooth skin to everyone, confirming Su Ran’s earlier idea.

The vampire before them certainly didn’t look like someone who often did manual labor.

“Those with human slaves are a minority. There are indeed commoners among the vampires.”

“Little Ran, I didn’t expect you to have a talent for investigation!”

If not for the limited space, Yuan Shirui really wanted to give Su Ran a big hug.

“I just thought a little more than others.”

Shaking her head, Su Ran continued her actions.

She then lifted the vampire’s arm, and five fingers of varying thickness appeared before her eyes.

“How about it? Is there a problem with his hand too?”

Seeing Su Ran’s actions, Yuan Shirui couldn’t contain her anxious thoughts and immediately asked.

“Is it the calluses on his hand?”

Winnie spoke up from behind them, pre-empting her.

After Su Ran had given her own idea, Winnie tried to offer a little of her own insight.

“People who frequently use weapons will develop thick calluses on their hands. From this point, it seems this vampire rarely used magic.”

After Winnie spoke, Su Ran nodded, clearly thinking the same thing.

Being able to deduce this far, Winnie already had a rough idea in her mind.

Nobles were basically accustomed to using magic.

Even if they used weapons, they wouldn’t develop thick calluses.

So, the identity of the vampire before them was most likely a knight.

No need for manual labor, but needing to frequently hold a weapon to protect his master—this completely fit the deductions about his body.

“Since he was accustomed to holding a weapon, it’s very likely he slipped in during the chaos of the northern border battlefield. He might even have companions.”

Given his identity as a knight, there was a high possibility of a master behind the scenes.

A clue to remind them.

“I won’t cancel the mission to search for the vampire. Let’s just keep it posted.”

This suddenly appearing vampire corpse was, under Winnie’s arrangements, taken to a hospital that cooperated with the Blood Hunters to be stored and guarded.

Coincidentally, this hospital was the same one where Su Ran had been hospitalized after her car accident.

It made her feel that the world was indeed a small circle.

Late at night, Su Ran, unable to sleep, lay in bed staring at the ceiling.

She had already changed out of the alluring maid outfit and was now wearing a pink silk nightgown.

It seemed her resistance to dresses was getting smaller and smaller.

Su Ran was sorting through the recent events.

Through the appearance of the vampire this time…

Su Ran had confirmed one thing: Li Ming had definitely come to kill her that day.

Combined with the murder case in Hermel, Li Ming probably wanted to perform a sacrifice similar to the magic formation that had appeared in the processing plant.

That meant the person who had leaked her information at Beizhou Academy was very likely aware of what Li Ming was doing.

Or rather, he was the one hiding behind the scenes, controlling everything.

“I hope the officer has some good news.”

Su Ran placed her hopes on Li Shanhai.

As a police officer, he had many ways to investigate Beizhou Academy, and it was also more legitimate.

Su Ran sighed helplessly.

“If the Hermel incident hadn’t been so major, I would have gone back to investigate if there were any other clues in those two houses.”

Isa and the others had already left Hermel.

According to their schedule, they should be able to reach Tukulu in a few days.

At that time, with the help of the Witch of the Book, she could find Shadow, and then Su Ran would have a chance to interrogate Shadow for relevant information.

The magic formations used by the two were similar to varying degrees.

The other party definitely knew something.

There was also the mission given by the system: the Primordial Witch needed fifty Shallow Believers.

When they reached Tukulu, the headquarters of the Witch’s Society, there would surely be many witches who held a devout heart for the Primordial Witch.

Isa’s life was at stake, and Su Ran could not afford the slightest carelessness.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep as soon as possible, because she still had to go to work at the Sakura Cafe tomorrow.

“Your Highness, those are the details.”

In the secret room of the Sakura Cafe, Winnie was reporting the day’s events to Eve.

“I already know. I’ll have Aunt Cecia look into the knight’s identity. The troops returning from the northern border city are under Aunt Cecia’s responsibility to be disbanded and integrated into the army. It’s most appropriate for her to investigate.”

“As for the puppet magic, I will personally investigate it at Prandène. I’ve already received their notification recently.”

Eve had arrangements for both of the current leads.

With her words, Winnie was also relieved.

As it concerned the royal family, Winnie also hoped to find the traitor within the vampires as soon as possible.

“However, before I graduate from Prandène, it will probably be difficult for me to leave the vampire territory. Mother, honestly…”

Speaking of Prandène, Eve couldn’t help but complain to Winnie.

Regarding this, Winnie could only listen quietly to Eve’s grumbling, not daring to say much.

Although Her Highness the Princess couldn’t leave the territory, that didn’t mean Su Ran couldn’t go over.

Of course, this thought of Winnie’s also remained in her heart, unspoken.
