Not wanting to waste any time, Gerald immediately asked, “So, what’s the situation like?”
“Well, you already know that the victim is a security guard of the Sun Group. From what we’ve gathered, the time of death should be around midnight yesterday, and we’re assuming he must have encountered something paranormal since his body is all dried up! His eyes are milky white as well!” explained Harold as Gerald went ahead to squat beside the security guard’s body…
After properly inspecting it, Gerald was now surer than ever that Tye was the culprit.
Looking around, Gerald couldn’t help but take note of a wine bottle and a single wine glass in one of the cabinets…
Raising a slight brow, Gerald then headed over to investigate… and on the wineglass, he found a stain. Seeing that, Gerald immediately began thinking of how that stain came to exist there.
From what he could guess, Tye had probably returned to the Sun Group building last night to have a drink of wine. However, he was noticed by a security guard, and as a result, he killed the poor man and absorbed his soul and energy, which eventually led to the current scene…
With that in mind, Gerald then turned to look at Harold before saying, “Could I have a moment with you, Mr. Lee?”
Momentarily surprised by the question, Harold quickly snapped out of it before nodding.
Once the two were in a quiet corner, Harold was first to ask, “Did you find anything strange, Mr. Crawford…?”
Harold himself knew that Gerald wasn’t fibbing, given how serious the youth looked as he detailed everything. Besides, Gerald had no reason to joke about such things.
Seeing how hesitant Harold was, Gerald was prompted to say, “Mr. Lee, just so you know, Tye is no longer a human. He’s currently a half-phantom, which makes him all the more dangerous. What more, you already know that he has the ability to drain people of their souls and energy. However, do know that he is unable to do much in the day. With that in mind, I’m sure he’ll make his appearance once night falls!”
“…I see. But where will we find him?” asked Harold as he raised a slight brow.
If everything that Gerald had told him was true, then Tye was an extremely dangerous individual. They had to capture him as soon as possible so that more murders like this wouldn’t occur…!
