Chapter 887 The Detective Suddenly Popped Up

"The breath of a living person?" Vivian's words made Hao Ren immediately alert, "Human? Alien?"

"It's not clear, it's very weak," Vivian lowered her voice, "Let's go over and have a look."

Hao Ren didn't expect that there would be anyone active in this deserted area outside the town. He looked back at the town on the other side of the fence, and then at the shadowy building silhouettes in the distance. There was no doubt that normal people would not be there. At this time, cross the fence and head to the place in the darkness. The first thing he thought of was the Ancatero family that had been active here and the guys who might be attracted by this incident, such as demon hunters - only this kind of people are most likely to appear here at this moment.

After all, that's why he and Vivian came here.

He and Vivian hid their auras and quickly moved towards the dark hut under the cover of darkness, and soon arrived about ten meters away from the hut. He could clearly see the details of the house. It was an old house built of bricks and tiles, with a total of two floors. It had a steeple and a half-broken chimney. You can see clumps of weeds and potholed roads around the house. The ground near the house should have been smooth and once paved with bricks, but now the force of wind, rain and plant growth has completely destroyed those roads. It was destroyed, and now only some broken masonry can be seen buried on the ground with soil, and clumps of weeds are growing vigorously from the gaps between the masonry and stone.

Hao Ren's eyes fell on the plants. He saw that several clumps of weeds and shrubs in front of the house showed signs of lodging, and the plants at the door had obviously been cleaned up: "Look over there, they should have been cleaned up just now, and they should be the same ones. We are all here to investigate."

Vivian frowned and carefully distinguished the smell in the air, and squinted her eyes to look at the house. In her vampire vision, the house slowly took on a cold blue tone, and a little red trace was printed on it. At the door of the house and on the windows on the second floor. She observed intently, and finally caught a live target in the room, with the smell of warm blood. The target emitted a faint red light like a beating heart.

"It's...a human being," Vivian's voice sounded a bit unbelievable, "At least judging from the aura, it's just an ordinary human being."

"Human? Come to investigate this kind of place in the middle of the night," Hao Ren was greatly surprised, but he trusted Vivian's judgment, "I thought it was a demon hunter."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light suddenly appeared on the second floor of the abandoned house. The light moved slowly in the darkness and looked like the light of a flashlight. Judging from the moving speed and path of this weak light source, it seemed that the people in the room were moving cautiously. Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other: "Shall we go in for a face-to-face meeting? Or should you send a bat over to test it out..."

Before he finished speaking, a loud collision suddenly came from the abandoned house, followed by a terrified scream from the second floor. When Hao Ren saw this, he didn't want to test anything anymore. Considering that there was just an ordinary human being in the house, he immediately pulled Vivian and ran towards the abandoned house.

The door to the abandoned house was indeed ajar, and opened when someone pushed it. After Hao Ren and Vivian entered the house, they first saw an empty living room. The few broken furniture left in the living room had been moved to the corners and were covered with dust and cobwebs. Opposite the living room was a path leading to the second floor. Floor folding staircase. When they ran into the house, the screaming had stopped and was replaced by deathly silence. But after Hao Ren concentrated, he still heard a weak breathing coming from above. It seemed that the guy above was still there. alive.

He and Vivian ran to the second floor and saw a flashlight dropped to the ground at the end of the dark corridor. The beam of the flashlight illuminated a man lying on the ground. The man was wearing a black loose suit and looked to be in his forties. He fell to the ground with a pale face and was pressing his chest painfully with his hands, with a look of horror on his face that had not yet dissipated. After hearing the footsteps of someone going upstairs, the man looked dimly in the direction of Hao Ren, and his lips moved twice as if he was asking for help.

It was important to save people at this time. Hao Ren immediately stepped forward to check the man's injuries, but he found that the man did not have any external injuries, so he waved the data terminal out and said, "Let's see what happened to him."

"No need to look, it's just a heart attack." The data terminal had already finished scanning the man, and it floated over and landed on the man's chest. "Get out of the way, and this machine will give him an electric shock resuscitation... 1, 2, 3. Let’s go!”

After the data terminal finished speaking, a small arc of electricity burst out from the casing. The man in black immediately twitched violently, but his expression softened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon he opened his eyes and nodded to Hao Ren and Vivian with a grateful expression: "Thank you... thank you, I owe you my life."

The data terminal took advantage of the man's recovery from his hazy state and slipped back into Hao Ren's pocket without anyone noticing.

Hao Ren picked up the flashlight that fell on the ground, helped the man in black to a pile of debris in the corner, and asked him to sit against the wall, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The man in black had just escaped death and was rescued by Hao Ren. At this time, he was in the easiest state to ask questions, so even though he glanced at the man and woman in front of him doubtfully, he still nodded and answered: "My name is Pierre. , is a...freelance detective, just here to find some clues."

"Looking for clues? Detective?" Hao Ren didn't expect that this place would attract such people. "Can I ask what clues you are looking for?"

The freelance detective who called himself Pierre hesitated slightly. He looked at Hao Ren and Vivian: "Can I ask first what you do?"

"Oh, we are detectives too," Hao Ren said casually, "but we don't know if what you are investigating is the same thing as what we are investigating."

An alert and cautious expression immediately appeared on Pierre's face. He carefully considered his words and said slowly: "I'm here to investigate a disappearance case, but due to professional ethics, I can't tell you too much. I'm sorry."

This person is not telling the truth.

Even without Vivian's reminder, Hao Ren could tell at a glance that Pierre wanted to hide something.

He can understand the other party's caution and concealment: investigating this key place at this critical time, if it is not a coincidence, then it can only be for the Ancatero family. If it is the latter, it is related to the aliens. Of course, things must be done very carefully. There are also some ordinary humans who know about the existence of aliens. They live in the shadow zone of human society and supernatural society, leading extraordinary lives like those in thrillers and supernatural stories. The human servants of Hesiana and the people in the church A small number of hermits fall into this category. In addition, there are also those "retail investors" who have entered the world of aliens or demon hunters by chance. Such people will be more vigilant. The Pierre in front of me might be the last one.

Hao Ren looked into Pierre's eyes and clearly expressed his inquisitive attitude: "You are lying."

Pierre rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "I'm very grateful to you for saving my life, but I really can't reveal the secret. And even if I tell you some things, I'm afraid you will think they are crazy words."

What the other party said was a tacit admission. Hao Ren followed up and asked: "What you are investigating...could it be some kind of supernatural power?"

Pierre's eyes suddenly widened.

"Then you admit it, right?" Hao Ren looked serious, "Are you here for the Ancatero family?"

There was a doubtful expression on Pierre's face that didn't look fake: "Ancatello? I don't know what you are talking about. I am indeed investigating some surreal things, but it has nothing to do with the family you mentioned."

Hao Ren frowned. He didn't know whether this man really didn't know or had excellent acting skills, but since he knew about the supernatural field, many things would be easy to handle. He patted Vivian's shoulder gently: "Get some special effects."

Vivian understood immediately. Her eyes were instantly stained with blood-like red light, and she was surrounded by cold blood that was visible to the naked eye. The vampire's fangs slowly emerged in the darkness: "What are you investigating?"

Vivian usually has a gentle personality, but after all, she has more than 10,000 years of experience here, and she is also good at scaring people, and this performance was very effective: Pierre had another heart attack on the spot...

After finally rescuing the "freelance detective", Hao Ren said from the bottom of his heart: "To be honest, your physical condition is really not suitable for this - this is the first time I have seen a heart attack to investigate supernatural phenomena. .”

Pierre didn't bother to listen to what Hao Ren was saying. He stared blankly at Vivian in the vampire state, and suddenly confessed everything in a trembling tone: "Please forgive me for hiding it - I said, I As I said, I am looking for the legendary golden manor..."

Hao Ren was stunned: "Golden Manor?"
