Chapter 529: Interview with the Vampire
Luke left the car to Jacob and asked Jacob to take him to a hotel in the town.
He didn't want to disturb Sheriff Charlie.
In a hotel in a small town, it is much more convenient to do something in the middle of the night.
At midnight, Luke knocked on Dr. Carlisle's door.
It was Dr. Carlyle himself who opened the door.
Carlisle enthusiastically invited Luke into the house.
Inside the house, Luke meets Dr. Carlisle's family.
five adopted sons and daughters, and Dr. Carlisle's wife.
Wow, they are all handsome men and beautiful women.
Except for Dr. Carlisle's wife Esme, who had a relatively normal expression, the other children were all very serious.
After Luke sat down, he got straight to the point and took out his ID.
"I'm the head of the federal government's special affairs department."
Carlisle didn't expect Luke to be so direct.
After looking at Luke's ID, he said to Luke:
"We are just staying here temporarily for a while. We are all vegetarian vampires..."
Before Dr. Carlisle could finish his explanation, Luke interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"I know. I have checked with Chief Billy. I am not here to call you to task. Instead, I want to find out more about the situation of the vampires in the Federation."
Carlisle and his wife looked at each other and were silent for a long time.
"In fact, I don't know much about other vampires in the Federation. There are too many small groups like ours among the vampires."
"Over the years, we have stayed in one place for a few years and then moved away. We can be considered wandering. This way we can avoid being discovered by ordinary people."
Luke nodded.
"The existence of the blood clan is not a secret. The big countries and some special organizations know about your existence, but you are not the focus."
"The dead person in the morgue should have been killed by other vampires, right?"
Dr. Carlisle nodded.
"Yes, but Sheriff Charlie is a good man. I didn't want him to get involved, so I didn't tell him the truth."
Luke agreed with Dr. Carlisle's approach.
"Yes, it is indeed not suitable for ordinary people to get involved."
"So do you have any clues about the murderer this time?"
Carlisle looked at his children, then turned to look at Luke.
"No, this place is remote, so there are very few outsiders. If there are any, they probably wandered here."
"Besides, we haven't been in the United States for a long time. Most of the time we live in seclusion around the world. We just want to live a peaceful life."
Luke smiled at him.
He took out a business card and placed it on the coffee table.
"Please contact me if you have any news. Recently I have to help Chief Billy treat his leg, so I will stay here for a while."
"If you don't want to keep wandering the world, I know a good place to go."
After saying that, Luke stood up and prepared to leave.
Dr. Carlisle walked Luke to the door and watched him slowly disappear into the night.
Behind closed doors, Dr. Carlisle's family engaged in an animated discussion.
They all asked Carlisle about Luke.
Dr. Carlisle just said that Luke and Sheriff Charlie went to the morgue to look at the report and the body.
Originally in the hospital, I only heard Sheriff Charlie introduce Luke as an FBI agent.
It was only after Luke came to visit tonight that I found out that Luke was actually from the FBI's special department.
So everyone thought that having their vampire identities exposed meant danger and wanted to move away.
Carlisle looked at one of the girls among his children.
"Alice, can you see anything?"
Alice shook her head.
"It's strange, I can't see anything. But he is different from Bella. Bella is a mist, and he... is deep darkness..."
Having said this, Alice seemed a little frightened and began to tremble uncontrollably.
Her boyfriend Jace... uh no, it was Jasper who quickly hugged her and calmed her down.
Hearing Alice say this, the Carlisle family fell silent.
Alice is a person with special abilities.
She seemed to have super powers before she became a vampire.
But she was born in the early 20th century, so she was abandoned by her parents and locked up in a mental hospital.
Her special ability is the ability to briefly foresee the future.
Of course, this future can be changed.
She had lived for over a hundred years and had only seen two people who could block his ability.
One is Bella, the daughter of Sheriff Charlie.
The other is Luke.
Carlisle looked at his other adopted son, Edward.
Edward also shook his head at Carlisle.
"I can't hear his voice, there is no sound..."
Edward's ability is to read minds and hear what anyone is thinking.
Similarly, his super powers failed on Bella and Luke.
Dr. Carlisle sighed.
"It seems that the people in the special government departments are really capable..."
"Should we move then?"
Dr. Carlisle thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"There's no need to do that for now. Since he found us and paid us a polite visit, it means he has no ill will towards us."
"Besides, he is just visiting Chief Billy. He is not targeting us. There is no need to panic."
"If we move out now, it would seem like we have a guilty conscience."
"Pay more attention to the foreign vampires. This Agent Dutton should not be the kind of hypocritical messenger of justice."
The Carlisle family meeting ended like this.
The next morning, Sheriff Charlie came to the hotel and found Luke.
He still enthusiastically invited Luke to his home.
But Luke refused.
"You have a girl in your family, and it's inconvenient for a grown man like me to leave this space for you and your daughter."
Luke stated the reason so directly, which won the favor of Sheriff Charlie.
To be honest, there are not many people in this town, but the townspeople are quite simple and honest.
He has the boldness and simplicity of a northerner.
Well, this is indeed the north of the United States, or rather the northwest.
Washington State is originally a border state, and its latitude is similar to that of Montana.
However, the capital of the United States is called Washington, D.C., which is not the same concept.
The small town of Forks is located in the westernmost and northern corner of Washington State.
Further north is the border between Canada and the United States.
After taking Luke to a restaurant in the town for breakfast, Jacob returned the car to Luke.
Luke asked him to stay for a few days, but the boy politely declined.
He also helped Luke wash the car and fill it up with gas.
This made Luke feel very fond of Jacob, a sensible boy.
What a pity... Matters of the heart have to be understood by him alone, and Luke really can't help him in this regard.
Jacob and his friends went away laughing.
Although these young men came on motorcycles, they didn’t look like the Will-O-Ghost boys at all.
Nor do they look like the annoying biker gang.
It seems that the townspeople get along very well with the Indians on the Indian reservation.
Luke had nothing to do, so he trained in the town with Sheriff Charlie.
The two chatted while drinking coffee.
Although the two were more than ten years apart in age, they got along very well.
Sheriff Charlie received some bad news today. Someone was eyeing his cabbages... He felt extremely complicated.
