What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Arriving at Nanhua Street, Lao Xia stopped near the place where she was arrested for "attempted kidnapping" directly based on the picture presented in the previous "vampire patient" dream.

Xiang Kun got out of the car and "wandered" slowly on the side of the road.

Lao Xia also turned off the car, then leaned against the car and waited.

She knew that because of the difference in sensory ability and thinking ability, Xiang Kun's way of observing was different from that of ordinary people, and also different from her, so it was meaningless for her to follow Xiang Kun.

However, she is also recalling the dream of the "vampire patient" from her perspective, while comparing it with the real scene on the street, looking for an angle that can be cut into.

For Xiang Kun, if the "mutated parasite" was still nearby, no matter whether it was hiding somewhere or parasitic in the body of humans or other animals, it would be easy for him to find it.

But it was obvious that the chances of the "mutated parasite" still staying nearby at this time were almost zero, after all, almost a year had passed.

On the one hand, Xiang Kun came here to try his luck, on the other hand, he also wanted to observe on the ground to see if he could find some clues so that he could pursue further.

It's past twelve o'clock now, but there are actually quite a few pedestrians in this block. There are two food stalls nearby, as well as some noodle shops and barbecue stalls, which are still open. Occasionally, you can see drunk people after eating. People passed by side by side.

To kidnap people in such a lively place, the "vampire patient" really doesn't have the talent to be a "criminal".

In the "Vampire Patient" dream, the van was stopped by the police and several people were arrested. Xiang Kun noticed that there was a flower shop diagonally across the street. And there are many shop assistants busy in and out.

It is normal for food stalls, barbecue stalls, and supper shops to open after twelve o'clock. Why do flower shops open so late?

But Xiang Kun understood the reason in an instant. He remembered that after twelve o'clock, today is February 14th, which is Valentine's Day in the West, and it is also the day when all flower shops make the most money every year.

At this time, it is normal for the florist to prepare various bouquets and make various arrangements overnight.

After observing the location of the flower shop, Xiang Kun thought for a while, and called to Lao Xia, who was leaning against the Camry in the distance, thinking about something with one hand on his chin, and beckoned her to come over.

After a while, Xiang Kun took Lao Xia into the flower shop.

"Handsome guy, are you buying flowers for your girlfriend?" A middle-aged beautiful woman who looks like the proprietress greeted behind the cash register, "The ones on the right are already ordered by customers, the ones on the left are in stock, and there are more Flowers will be delivered tomorrow morning, you can scan the QR code on the wall, follow our official account, order directly on it, and we will send someone to deliver it when the time is set..."

In the middle of talking, the proprietress was taken aback when she saw the tall ponytailed beauty who was just behind Xiang Kun and was blocked by his generous body, and praised with a smile: "Handsome guy, are you here to buy flowers with your girlfriend? Or did you come here in a hurry? You really have a heart!"

Xiang Kun smiled "shyly" and patted his head: "My girlfriend has more ideas, and she likes to pick out everything she buys by herself."

Although Xiang Kun didn't discuss it with her in detail before coming here, Xia Libing is very clear about Xiang Kun's purpose for coming to this flower shop. Hearing what he said, he understood what he meant, so he put down the matter with one of them "seriously" , stood up and greeted her female clerk to discuss the situation of these flowers, and said that she still wanted to buy flowers for the parents of both parties, and also wanted to look at other products such as "eternal flowers", leaving enough time for Xiang Kun to chat.

"Miss Boss, you are really working hard. You are still busy at this late hour. I guess it will take you all night?" Because most of the space in the store is occupied by flower boxes and bouquets,

There was some space for Lao Xia and the shop assistant who chose the flowers, so Xiang Kun stood by the cash register, chatting with the proprietress seemingly casually.

"Valentine's Day, of course I have to be busy. Today is the most profitable day of the year. You see, I even called my two nieces who are still in middle school to help." The proprietress pointed and sat by the gate two little girls, smiling.

Naturally, as soon as Xiang Kun entered the store, he judged from various information that the proprietress was someone to talk to. At this time, there were five little girls busy in the store, and there was room for chatting.

"It's quite lively here at night, what time do you usually open the store?"

"Usually it's around nine o'clock. Sometimes it may close at eight o'clock, not necessarily. See if there is any busy business, such as weddings, openings, etc., and the products have to be ready overnight."

"If it's open late, there will be a lot of drunks passing by here, will someone make trouble, make trouble or something?"

"That's very few. On the contrary, many of them came to buy flowers to send girls to confess their love after drinking, which brought us a lot of additional sales." The proprietress laughed.

Xiang Kun nodded in agreement: "That's right, our Erythronia's public security has been pretty good in recent years."

He chatted with the proprietress mainly because he wanted to find out if there were any weird and special things happening nearby, and if there were any residents or merchants with special behaviors.

If the "mutated parasite" wants to leave this place, there is a high probability that it will pass through a host or an intermediate host, and it is likely that it will parasitize the nearby residents first.

Of course, the possibility of being able to ask for effective information is not great, but it is just a temporary idea, just try it.

Just as he was about to change the subject and inquire from other directions, a girl who was making a flower box not far from the counter raised her head and said, "Sister Ning, you forgot, someone was kidnapped in our street last year." !"

The proprietress nodded repeatedly as if remembering something: "Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, that incident last year, it was funny to talk about, no, it should be a serious matter, you shouldn't laugh...but it's really funny."

"Oh? What's the matter? Kidnapped in the street?" Xiang Kun asked with a curious and surprised expression.

"Yes, just across the street, outside the Agricultural Bank, a few people drove a van to kidnap a man. But the funny thing is, three or four people tied up for a long time, maybe five or six minutes, but they didn't get anyone into the car The man screamed so badly that everyone in the street heard it. Yes, I even recorded the video, and I also called the police.” The girl who spoke before took over and said, obviously, working overtime so much Tonight, this little girl is a bit boring.

Naturally, Xiang Kun satisfied the little girl's desire for expression, and immediately asked with a surprised expression: "Are you so arrogant? Aren't we all sweeping up gangsters now, and who dares to do this?"

"It's not a black and evil organization. I heard later that it seems to be a few psychopaths." The proprietress said with a smile, and said to the little girl: "Xiao Ma, show the handsome guy the video you took."

The little girl was naturally happy to have this opportunity to be openly lazy, so she immediately got up and took out her phone, found the video she had taken before, and played it for Xiang Kun.

"It was about this time that day, because the next day was the 'Goddess' Day', and many customers ordered products that had to be prepared overnight, so we were still open. If it was another day, we probably wouldn't have seen this. "The little girl introduced enthusiastically.

Xiang Kun knew that the "Goddess' Day" she was talking about referred to March 8th Women's Day. Judging from the date, it coincided with the time when the "vampire patient" Alice found was arrested. It seemed that the case was correct.

From the perspective of video shooting, it is obviously at the entrance of the flower shop, and the shot is at the entrance of an agricultural bank diagonally opposite the flower shop.

A van can be seen parked on the side of the road, and three young men are dragging a man who appears to have drunk a lot towards the van.

It can also be vaguely seen that there is a person on the passenger seat of the van who has not got off. Judging from the outline, it is a woman, and it should be a "vampire patient".

It was obviously the first time for the three young men to do this kind of thing. They were both a little guilty and a little flustered, and the drunk man struggled very hard, so they didn't subdue it for a long time.

The drunk man yelled in dialect: "Tie~gà~! (Kidnapping), tǎi~Lang~la!!! (Killer), giu~Lang~ Oh! (Save)!!Pa Waist and waist spirit (hit 110)!!!—”

Judging from the volume, the whole street was indeed startled, not to mention the people in the flower shop, even the surrounding residents were probably startled.

The drunk man was tossed about for several minutes before he was barely squeezed into the van. Before the van drove far, he was stopped by a police car just opposite the flower shop. .

Thinking about it, the little girl told Xiang Kun that she had already called the police before she took this video. And obviously, with such a big commotion, there will never be one or two people who called the police. It is estimated that someone around called the police earlier. It is not surprising that the kidnapping of the "vampire patients" failed and they were arrested on the street.

But from a certain point of view, perhaps the incompetent "kidnapping" of the "vampire patient" saved her life.
