As Liu Xing expected, the Ghoul statue had disappeared.

However, Liu Xing finally found a family photo in the study room - a family of five.

Most importantly, in this family photo, a young boy was holding a strange little statue - a red Ghoul statue!

A red Ghoul?!

Liu Xing frowned, suddenly remembering the strange red Ghoul.

An agreement?

Liu Xing seemed to have guessed something.

What a coincidence.

Liu Xing shook his head, picked up the photo and went to meet with Wesker and the others.

At this time, Wesker and the others were still investigating in the living room.

"Chris, did you find anything unusual in the room?" Wesker asked without looking back.

Liu Xing shook his head and said, "There was nothing unusual in the room. It seems this family of five did not return to the room at the time, but were forced to leave the house for some reason. However, I saw a rather strange photo."

Wesker stood up and directly took the photo Liu Xing mentioned and looked at it.

"Interesting, it seems this missing family case is more complicated than I thought," Wesker muttered.

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, realizing that Wesker might know more than he imagined.

At this moment, Leon suddenly said, "Captain, come and take a look at this."

Liu Xing and Wesker followed the sound and found that Leon had turned over the fallen table.

On the front of the table, there was a terrifying claw mark.

It looked very similar to the claw marks on the corpse at the manor entrance.

"Damn, could it be..." Wesker cursed in a low voice.

It seems Wesker knows about the existence of mythical creatures, and he might also know what a Ghoul is.

"Leon, don't touch anything at the crime scene for now. I need to go and consult the headquarters on how to handle the current situation," Wesker said, taking out his mobile phone and walking to a corner.

"Isn't it the serial killer again? But there's no trace of blood at the scene," Jill said in a low voice.

Liu Xing sighed and shook his head, saying, "It seems this case is more complicated than we thought. I suspect the killer may not be human."

"Not human?" Leon frowned and said, "Could the story from the Police Academy be true?"

The "Police Academy story" that Leon mentioned can be said to be an urban legend that exists in every Police Academy in England. It tells of a group of terrible non-human creatures that roam the dark corners of the subway cemeteries and prey on lone humans, and that the London Police Department, although aware of the existence of these non-human creatures, has covered up their existence to avoid public panic.

Liu Xing nodded and pretended to be worried, saying, "It seems some urban legends are not unfounded. I just found a photo in the room, and in the photo there was a very strange statue, a blood-colored monster figure, and if the claws of that monster were enlarged to human scale, they should perfectly match the claw marks on the table."

Liu Xing's words made Leon and Jill fall silent.

After all, Jill and Leon are strictly speaking ordinary people, and mythical creatures are far from their previous lives.

So Liu Xing suspects that Leon and Jill are now making sanity points checks.

At this moment, Wesker walked back with a serious expression and said, "Everyone, we are going back to the London Police Department immediately. I will tell you some things on the way."

Hearing Wesker say this, Liu Xing can now guess what Wesker wants to say.

It seems this module is about to enter the main topic.

After briefing the local police, Wesker led Liu Xing and the others into the police car and began to return to the London Police Department.

On the way, Wesker said seriously, "First of all, what I'm going to tell you must not be revealed to outsiders in any form, otherwise you will be directly dismissed from the police force, because the fewer people know about these things, the better. And after I tell you all these things, you will face a very important choice, that is, whether to stay in my team. If you choose to leave the team, I will arrange for you to work in some clerical positions in the London Police Department, but I think you won't choose to leave."

"Okay, let's get to the point. Chris, you must have heard an urban legend when you were studying at the Police Academy, that there are a large number of non-human creatures in the city of London. When I was studying at the Police Academy, I also heard about this urban legend, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, after all, the legends of werewolves and vampires have been circulating in England for over a thousand years, and there is still no substantial evidence to prove their existence... But after working in the London Police Department for a year, I realized that some things do exist."

"At that time, I was just a patrol officer. One night, I had already gone home, but I received an order from my superior to go to a nearby residential area to provide support, because a large-scale brawl had occurred in the underground parking lot of that area, and the surrounding police force was not enough to handle the incident, so I didn't think much and went directly. When I arrived at the underground parking lot of that area, I saw a lot of severed limbs and blood everywhere, including two police officers who had arrived earlier than me."

"To be honest, I was completely frightened by the scene in front of me at the time, because I was just an ordinary patrol officer and had never seen such a terrible scene before. But when I regained my senses, I found a pair of blood-red eyes staring at me from the darkness, and I could clearly see the outline of the body of the owner of those eyes, so I was sure it was not a human."

"But the most important thing is that I knew that thing was about to attack me. Fortunately, I was not destined to die, and the reinforcements arrived in time to save the dazed me. Then I was taken to the Chief's office, and the Chief told me that the thing I saw was called a Ghoul, a very terrible creature, and that ordinary handgun bullets could not penetrate their skin, and their claws could easily cut a police officer wearing a bulletproof vest in half."

"Most importantly, these Ghouls really eat humans as food, so we believe that the Blood Hand Print Killer is a Ghoul, which is why the higher-ups issued that special order, because we police officers would not last half a minute against a Ghoul; as for the killer of the unfortunate reporter, based on the current situation, it is very likely that it is also a Ghoul, and one of the missing family of five, because in the photo Chris found, there was a blood-colored Ghoul statue."

"According to the research of professionals, Ghoul is very likely to have the special ability of the legendary Vampire, to assimilate some of the humans they have set their sights on into Ghoul. Therefore, although our police have been blocking the related news, there are still a number of ordinary people who know of the existence of Ghoul, and among these people, some have chosen to believe in Ghoul, and their devout prayers have indeed received a response from Ghoul, just like the missing family of five, they have really become Ghoul!"

"Alright, now I've said everything I wanted to say. Chris, you all have to make a decision before returning to the London Police Department. If you choose to stay in my team, you will be secretly transferred to become a special police officer, and you will be responsible for investigating cases related to Ghoul with me in the future. However, I must remind you here that there are currently a total of 63 special police officers in the London Police Department, and among the 58 police officers who died in the line of duty last year, 52 of them were special police officers, which means the annual mortality rate of special police officers is close to 50%."

After saying these words, Wesker drove the car in silence, allowing Liu Xing and the others to ponder.

However, at this time, KP Time did not forget to join the fun, "Because you just heard a shocking news, you will now lose 1 sanity point."

Liu Xing chose to ignore this expected loss of sanity points and began to ponder a question... Well, this was not really a question, because he now had to stay in Chris's team, otherwise his module would be declared a failure.

So after pretending to ponder for a moment, Liu Xing said, "I choose to stay in the team, because I must avenge my parents, so I have no other choice now."

Wesker nodded without saying anything.

At this time, Leon sighed and said helplessly, "I knew Chris would say that, so I also decided to stay in the team. After all, Chris and I are good brothers, so I can't choose to retreat at this time. And by the way, I think dealing with Ghoul is really exciting. You know, my childhood dream was to become a Vampire hunter like Van Helsing."

As for Jill, she was still pondering.

So Liu Xing and the others also fell silent.

When they were about to arrive at the London Police Department, Jill finally spoke up, "Well, since Chris and Leon have chosen to stay in the team, I can't be a deserter now. And I remember my parents telling me that as long as I don't go to the military, I can live to be a hundred years old."

Seeing that Jill had also decided to stay in the team, Wesker smiled and said, "I knew you would all choose to stay in the team. It seems that Chief House and I didn't misjudge you. Originally, we planned to wait until you had been on the job for a year before finding an opportunity to recruit you into the special police officer team. But unexpectedly, you encountered a suspected Ghoul murder case on your first day of work. It seems that this is destined by fate."

"But you can rest assured, our team is a reserve team, and in normal circumstances, we will not have direct confrontations with Ghoul, because other more professional teams will be responsible for hunting down Ghoul. We only need to conduct investigations. And after you meet with Chief House, you can get better equipment."

Five minutes later, Liu Xing and the others stood in front of Chief House.

"Since you are all standing in front of me, it means you have decided to officially become special police officers. So I won't say much more nonsense here, I just hope you won't regret the decision you made today," Chief House said seriously.

Then, Chief House took three briefcases and a file folder from under the desk and said, "This is your new equipment. I hope it can save your lives when necessary. And this is the internal intelligence on the Blood Hand Print Killer."

Liu Xing's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to take the file folder and one of the briefcases.

Chief House knew that Liu Xing was eager to open the file folder, so he waved his hand, indicating that Liu Xing and the others could take the items and leave.

So Liu Xing and the others returned to their office.

Then, Liu Xing casually tossed the briefcase aside and directly opened the file folder, taking out the various documents inside.

The first document was the identity file of the Blood Hand Print Killer, and it even had a portrait photo!

At the same time, KP Time smiled and said, "Congratulations, player, for completing the first part of the Main quest - confirming the true identity of the Blood Hand Print Killer. Now the second part of the Main quest is officially opened - Fateful Encounter: Meet the Blood Hand Print Killer face-to-face within a week."

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, not expecting the first part of the Main quest to be completed so easily. However, the second part would be a bit tricky, as he would have to prepare to face the Blood Hand Print Killer directly.

But then again, since this is the second part of the Main quest and not the final part, it means that even if he meets the Blood Hand Print Killer face-to-face, as long as he doesn't rush in and get himself killed, he should be safe.

Thinking about this, Liu Xing also felt a bit relieved and began to examine the true identity of the Blood Hand Print Killer.

The Blood Hand Print Killer's name is Dio, born in 1960 in a middle-class family in London. He received a good higher education and worked in a financial company after graduating from university, until he was officially identified as the Blood Hand Print Killer by the police five years ago, when he suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The reason the police discovered that Dio was the Blood Hand Print Killer was that Dio accidentally left a shirt button at the crime scene after committing the crime, and that button became the decisive evidence.
