Chapter 18

Lyons ignored Andre's provocation and said, "You said earlier that no blood race can drink artificial blood."

"A vampire who's tasted blood won't touch that stuff. Unless he's starving."

"Could Terry be a hungry vampire?"

Andre was stunned for a while, then replied: "There are so many animals and people in the manor, it's easy to hunt them."

"So the artificial blood in his house wasn't for himself," Lyons said, "Lola and Terry's adultery was word of mouth, moaning, secret meetings, no visual evidence. No one saw them make/love."

Andre frowned, seeming to understand what Lioness meant: "You suspect that Laura is Terry's servant."

The fangs of the blood race are poisonous, and the human being bitten will not feel pain, but will feel the pleasure that can make the whole body tremble and go limp.It is not impossible to groan/groan on the way of being sucked blood.

"It's just a guess." Lioness didn't deny it.

"What about artificial blood? Blood servants don't live on blood."

"I don't know." Lyons said, walking into the bedroom where the servant lived.

The men's and women's rooms are not purposely separated, and the two buildings are very close together.

According to the confession of other maids, Laura has a withdrawn personality, wears dusty cleaning overalls all the year round, and never buys new clothes or jewelry.Looks dirty and is often laughed at by other servants.

Laura, who can't speak well and can't do things, was arranged in the smallest room in the basement.Apart from beds and simple bedside tables, there is not much furniture.

Laura's house is so clean that it's almost unobstructed.

There was a thin layer of dust on the bedside table, and there was a mottled mirror and a rusty pocket watch.

As the maid said, there were no ornaments or cosmetic utensils on the table, and it looked very clean.

Andre picked up his pocket watch.The material of the pocket watch is average, and some are cheap.There was a picture of a child inside, which didn't look like the age of the pocket watch, it was new.

Andre looked at the photo and asked, "Does the missing maid have any children or family members?"

"According to what the housekeeper said, there is none. What's the matter?"

Andre handed the pocket watch to Lyons, "There is a pocket watch in such a clean room, it should be something important. Who is this child?"

The child in the photo is five or six years old, looks a little shy, and smiles awkwardly but calmly.

Lioness looked at the photo, then called the maid who brought them in with his pocket watch.

The maid glanced at the pocket watch, said "Yeah", and exclaimed, "Isn't this little Alan!"

"You know him? Who is he?"

"Where did you find this pocket watch? Alan is the child of a vineyard worker. What is the worker's name? I can't remember! But I remember this child. He used to come to the manor with his father. He was very cute. , have a good relationship with us.”

"Where is this worker, can we talk to him?"

The maid showed a regretful expression, "I'm afraid this can't be done, sir. This worker died in an accident a long time ago. I heard that he fell down while picking grapes and was pierced through his chest by a falling sickle."

Lyons frowned: "Dead?"

"Yes, yes." The maid replied, "Speaking of which, he is also a poor man. When a person dies, no one in the family comes to collect the body. It has been cremated for a long time."

The maid walked away with a sigh.

"It's a coincidence." Andre looked at the back of the maid and commented, "There seems to be a lot of missing persons in the manor."

Lyons nodded, "I'm going to ask the butler for a list of the manor's employees."
