Chapter 131: Making Up a Story

Reflecting on the information obtained from the western restaurant and the images seen in the surveillance video at the convenience store, Xiang Kun came to several conclusions:

Judging by the scent in the restaurant, only one mutant had been present that is to say, out of the man and woman, only one was a vampire.

According to the waiter, the man barely ate anything, and the woman ate very little, suggesting that it was quite likely that the man was the vampire and the woman was not. Moreover, the surveillance video from the convenience store showed the man dressed in tight clothing under the midday temperature. This suggested he, like Xiang Kun, did not sweat much.

Based on the waiter’s description, the woman was always using a computer. Therefore, the one likely possessing considerable hacking skills was the non-vampire female. The surveillance video from the convenience store also showed that the backpack containing the laptop was on her back.

Although the convenience store’s surveillance video angle wasn’t ideal, and the resolution was mediocre, Xiang Kun could not clearly see the faces of the two individuals. However, their characteristics were quite distinct. The man had a shaved head, wore a well-fitted suit, and was described by the waiter as handsome. The woman’s distinguishing feature was her dreadlocks, which were more identifiable than Kun’s bald head.

They seemed to stay in the western restaurant until 3 pm when the woman wearing a blue dress left. They did not venture near the Long Time No See Cafe. Either all their attention was focused on the woman in the blue dress, monitoring only the particular person who might have contacted her and only paying attention to the customers in the cafe. Alternatively, the possibility existed that the dreadlock woman had hacked all the surveillance cameras in the surrounding establishments, enabling them to broaden their surveillance scope.

Some Internet of Things’ surveillance cameras could be hacked more easily once their methods were figured out.

Xiang Kun pondered his behaviour at the doll claw machine shop and the bubble tea store, as well as his subsequent tracking of the woman in the blue dress, assuring himself that he hadn’t done anything to arouse suspicion.

After all, from start to finish, he barely faced the Long Time No See Cafe head-on and did not go near it.

Even when the woman in the blue dress passed by the doll claw machine shop, he never turned his head but instead, observed her from the corner of his eyes.

Judging by the duo’s departure time, they likely didn’t discover anything significant which might explain the waiter’s comment that they “didn’t look too good”.

As for now, most likely they had already left this city.

Xiang Kun speculated that to them, “Pipikachu”, the culprit, probably deceived them and deliberately stood them up.

They not only wasted a trip and a day’s effort but also unnecessarily spent 0.3 Bitcoin.

Of course, if they knew that Xiang Kun had gotten hold of their descriptions, they would probably be even more annoyed.

Knowing he had seen them while they were still unaware of his existence gave Kun an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

He didn’t continue on his journey searching for the direction they had gone in because, even if he knew it, determining their exact destination or identity would still be very tough.

Besides, if he were to use the excuse of a lost elderly from home to ask for surveillance footage again, he was afraid he might draw the attention of well-intentioned police, especially since there was a police station near the pedestrian street.

Unless he could determine the other party’s identity directly – although this wasn’t entirely impossible. If they drove here, he could identify their license plate and there would be a possibility of discovering their identities.

If the city they originally lived in was not too far from here, within a 10-hour drive, it was plausible that they had driven themselves. After all, vampires do not need to consider fatigue from long-distance driving unless they are in a state of starvation.

As a result, Xiang Kun went directly to the pay parking lot on this pedestrian street. Considering the local traffic conditions, if they drove a car, it was very likely that it was parked there.

As he approached the parking lot, Xiang Kun noticed three security guards chatting near the fee collection booth, so he stopped.

He was not going to use the same excuse as before. It wasn’t that he thought the guards would lack empathy, but rather that different professions have different habits.

The pedestrian street was always crowded, and all sorts of ridiculous incidents happen in the parking lot. They tended to act with greater caution.

Even if they didn’t question Xiang Kun’s excuse, going as far as to radio in and ask their leader or head of security could potentially bring about other complications.

Even bribery was less feasible now. Many wouldn’t risk their jobs for a few hundred yuan, afraid they might get in trouble. As a result, things become more complicated.

So, Xiang Kun stood at a distance for a while, listening to the conversation of the three security guards, forming a plan, and then took out his phone and saved a few pictures.

A few minutes later, Xiang Kun, with a straight face, walked up to the parking lot’s fee collection booth and spoke to the security guards with a forced smile, “Brother, can we discuss something? Can I take a look at the surveillance video from 11 am to 12 pm today?”

The guard sitting in front of the monitor was taken aback, looked at Kun, and said, “What’s going on? Normally, no one is allowed to access this without permission. You should go to our leader.”

Xiang Kun put on a face of restrained anger and sadness, hesitated for a few seconds, then finally said, “My friend told me that he saw my girlfriend with another man here, having lunch and shopping at noon. But, she told me she was working overtime today… I know that man has a car, I just want to see if I can spot them in the parking lot.”

The three security guards looked at each other for a few seconds, and the older one said to the one sitting in front of the monitor, “Just let him have a look. It shouldn’t be a problem.”

The guard in front of the monitor hesitated for a moment, nodded, and asked Xiang Kun, “Do you know what car the man drives?” Then he started to pull up the surveillance footage.

Xiang Kun shook his head and said with a regretful expression, “I’m guessing it’s a luxury car, something like a Mercedes Benz or BMW…”

“What does your girlfriend look like?”

“She has a unique hairstyle, dreadlocks, like this.” Xiang Kun took out his phone and showed them a picture of a girl with dreadlocks from his album. This photo was actually downloaded from the internet moments ago. He purposely chose a picture of a not-so-pretty girl but looked quite natural.

The other two guards looked at the picture, shook their heads and sighed. The older guard patted his shoulders, “This girl seems like she loves to play. Brother, if you find out that she is cheating on you, don’t do anything stupid. In the future, when looking for a girlfriend, remember to prioritize character…”

As a matter of fact, the reason why Xiang Kun used this excuse was that he had overheard the conversation between the three guards earlier on.

Those three really were unfortunate. The wife of the older guard was having an affair with her boss. After discovering the affair, he filed for a divorce. The guard sitting in front of the monitor had also just broken up with his girlfriend. A day after their breakup, she already had a new boyfriend, much to his frustration. He suspected they were together much longer than just a day. Therefore, Kun made up a story and added himself to their group….
