Chapter 528 The Magical Tribe
Sheriff Charlie did not notice the sudden change in the air and introduced Luke's identity to Dr. Carlisle.
What Luke had talked about with Sheriff Charlie before, about interfering in cases, was happening everywhere.
Generally, local police don't want the FBI to get involved because that would take away most of the credit.
Some small town police departments would rather let a case lie than hand it over to the FBI, as that would make them appear incompetent.
Sheriffs in small places are actually elected by the townspeople.
So they don't want to give up this right, nor do they want the FBI to interfere in their case.
But during the conversation on the road, Luke felt that Sheriff Charlie was not that kind of person.
Small places really don't have the ability to solve this kind of murder case.
If Luke hadn't come, this would probably have become an unsolved case gathering dust in a corner.
But Sheriff Charlie doesn't mind Luke's involvement, which means that Sheriff Charlie also wants to solve the case as soon as possible.
Dr. Carlisle professionally told Luke and Sheriff Charlie the cause of death.
Sheriff Charlie is a complete layman when it comes to forensic science, but Luke is different.
He has seen too many corpses, and his medical knowledge is no worse than that of the doctors, and he also has cheats.
After listening to Dr. Carlisle's statement, Luke did not speak.
There are several issues here that Dr. Carlisle ignored or simply concealed.
He did not question Dr. Carlisle on the spot.
So he suggested to Sheriff Charlie that he go to the scene to take a look.
When we arrived at the scene, we saw a yacht by the lake.
It is said to be a yacht, but in fact it is just a small speedboat. Looking at the environment here, you can tell that the deceased is a fisherman.
Sheriff Charlie's subsequent introduction also verified Luke's guess.
This man is indeed Sheriff Charlie's friend, divorced and single, and a fisherman.
After Luke looked at the scene, he came to his own conclusion.
In a way, he was indeed killed by a "beast".
But this "beast" is humanoid.
Luke chose to hide the truth of the matter from Sheriff Charlie for the time being because he is just an ordinary person.
After confirming that it was an attack by a wild beast, Sheriff Charlie sighed.
On the way back, Luke met Chief Billy's son.
He was with a few friends and a white girl, and they were chatting and laughing.
Sheriff Charlie stopped the car and said to the girl:
"Bella, do you want me to take you home?"
The girl shook her head.
"No need, Dad. I'll go back in Jacob's car later."
Sheriff Charlie said to Chief Billy's son Jacob:
"Be careful, this car is very expensive."
Jacob smiled foolishly and scratched his head.
"I'll pay attention, thank you, Mr. Qin."
Luke waved back.
After Sheriff Charlie sent Luke back to Chief Billy, he said hello to Chief Billy and left.
Back at Chief Billy's house, Chief Billy asked Luke:
"Do you know the answer?"
Luke thought for a moment and then asked Chief Billy:
"You should know that there are vampires living here, right?"
Chief Billy nodded.
"We have an agreement with them. The murderer is not from the Cullen family."
Luke nodded as well.
"I know. There's no rush for this. Tell me about your situation."
"You've been injured for many years. I need to re-break your bones and reconnect them. This process is very painful. Even if you use anesthesia, you will wake up due to the stress on your body."
"Also, I'm worried that you might suddenly..."
Luke hadn't come up with a word to describe it, please forgive the lack of vocabulary in the English language.
Chief Billy waved his hand.
"Don't worry, I can control this, just go ahead."
Luke said nothing, waiting for Chief Billy to continue.
Chief Billy knew that Luke knew his secret, so he generously told him the reason.
Among the Indian tribes, there is a group of totem worshippers.
This group of people are a special bloodline in the Indian tribe.
They will become stronger based on the totems and bloodlines they believe in.
Eventually, they became a race that could transform into beasts and possess their traits.
After listening to Chief Billy's description, Luke summed it up and said, "Isn't this a druid?"
Yes, special races like Indians can transform into wild beasts.
Chief Billy's tribe is such a group.
Their characteristic is that they can transform into giant wolves.
There are many such races in Indian tribes.
There are bears, deer, mountain lions, leopards...
In short, there are various beast forms.
They use the abilities of these beasts to protect their tribe.
It’s just…Chief Billy sighed.
"No matter how strong a beast is, it cannot withstand the thermal weapons manufactured by humans."
Luke didn't interrupt. His family also had a weapons manufacturing company.
Then Chief Billy changed the subject.
"This place is remote, and vampires often come here looking for food."
"Their existence is a danger, and it will also stimulate the mutant blood in our race."
"The attack in the forest was actually done by those vampires, and then we killed them."
"The Cullens are the exception, they are vegetarian vampires."
"Because having vampires nearby will speed up the stimulation of our blood, I agreed to let them stay, but they must not enter the reservation area."
"Wei Lun, this was probably done by a vampire from somewhere else."
Luke nodded.
"Yes, I have seen the body, and it is certainly not done by a wild animal."
Chief Billy smiled.
"The Rainmaker (the old chief of Yellowstone) told me that you are a child he has watched grow up and that you are very capable. He said that if I have any difficulties, I can ask you for help."
Luke was stunned for a moment, then said:
"Is it the wolf tooth necklace?"
Chief Billy nodded.
"We Indians usually give the most important tokens to the people we trust the most. The fact that you can hold that necklace shows that he trusts you very much, and I can do the same."
Luke smiled.
"Don't worry, your leg will be cured, I promise."
Chief Billy also laughed.
"I need to arrange some things in the tribe, which may take a few days. You can stay at Charlie's place these days. He is my good friend and we grew up together."
Chief Billy called Sheriff Charlie and told him what happened.
Sheriff Charlie agreed readily.
He wanted to come and get Luke, but Chief Billy turned Sheriff Charlie down when he heard his son was back.
When Jacob came back, he got out of the car with his friends.
After arriving in the room, he thanked Luke and enthusiastically discussed what had happened along the way with Chief Billy.
It was obvious that the young man was enjoying pretending to be so arrogant.
The girl he mentioned the most was Bella.
Since Sheriff Charlie's daughter and the old friends didn't get married, Luke knew that Chief Billy didn't look favorably upon the relationship between his son and the girl.
But he didn't say anything.
It is best for young people to understand their frustrations by letting them experience them personally.
Luke also agreed with this point.
People cannot teach others, but things can teach people, and once they learn something, they will never forget it.
Poor kid, he's about to be beaten by society...
