Chapter 1238

Su Quan shook off Simon Stroud's hand, patted his shoulder, and said: "The times have changed; all kinds of monsters and demons have taken the stage, and traditional investigative methods will soon be outdated. Luo Man Pearce, you have to learn to be flexible."

After speaking, he and Martina Bancroft walked past Simon Stroud toward the elevator.

Simon Stroud didn't stop them, nor did he pursue the questioning; he was just thinking about who this Luo Man Pearce really was!!!

Alright, of course he wasn't thinking about such a boring question; after all, Su Quan's attitude and hints were already very clear.

There were two suspects in this case, and Su Quan had already proven with his actions that he was the one who took Martina Bancroft off the ship; such a calm attitude already indicated that they had nothing to do with the murder case.

Secondly, he was Martina Bancroft's boyfriend, but also Morbius's investor; he could take Martina Bancroft away, so why didn't he take Morbius?

What was the reason for not taking Morbius?

Finally, Su Quan might have nothing to do with the cargo ship murder case, but he was definitely related to the unknown events behind it, and he had also admitted that he was the one who deleted the surveillance on the ship, which was already obstructing the execution of official duties.

He had the right to arrest Su Quan.

There were two reasons why he didn't do so.

One: Su Quan had already proven with his actions that he could teleport; let alone arresting him, even if he were thrown into prison, he could still go wherever he wanted.

Moreover, such a wealthy person wasn't so easy to arrest; if he were arrested as someone unrelated to the case without any solid evidence, one could imagine what kind of situation and pressure he would face!

Two: The key now was Dr. Morbius; only by finding him could the direction of the subsequent investigation be determined.

If Dr. Morbius showed any abnormalities, then he was the prime suspect!

If Dr. Morbius went missing or died, then he would have to have a talk with Su Quan.

In summary, arresting or restricting Su Quan now was meaningless; instead, it would add countless obstacles to the case.

In Morbius's project lab, Martina Bancroft checked the computer and turned to Su Quan with a solemn expression: "The relevant experimental records have all been deleted. For such important documents, only Dr. Morbius has the authority to delete them."

"He has been back!"

Su Quan shrugged: "He didn't just delete the experimental records; he also analyzed the serum here, tested his abilities, and took away all the artificial blood."

Martina Bancroft got up and walked toward the artificial blood storage room; sure enough, all the artificial blood inside was gone.

"The most fatal side effect of this serum is that if you don't consume blood for a period of time, it will affect your body and mind. Simply put, if he doesn't consume blood regularly, not only will his body return to its original sickly state, but he will also develop an extreme craving for blood, leading to a loss of control."

"In short, he is now an alternative vampire who must have blood to sustain his life!"

The effect of artificial blood would become weaker and weaker. Don't look at Morbius now, who is full of righteousness and seems like the embodiment of justice; no one wants to die, especially Morbius, who has been determined to save his own life since he was a child.

So he will eventually embark on the path of consuming human blood and become an anti-hero who is both good and evil!

It's just—

He can do this, but his friend can't!

Su Quan sneered and said to Martina Bancroft: "Call our big investor, Lucius Crown, and tell him I'll go see him in a while."

Martina Bancroft made the call, not understanding the meaning, and notified Lucius Crown.

A dozen minutes later, in a mansion, Su Quan put his arm around Martina Bancroft and teleported in front of Lucius Crown.

The suddenness and eeriness of the teleportation left Lucius Crown, who was sitting tremblingly on the sofa, dumbfounded.

"You—you guys—how did you—"

"You are going to die!"

Su Quan's words were shocking, but Lucius Crown, who had a look of surprise, didn't show too much astonishment; his expression was more filled with sadness and anger.

Su Quan raised an eyebrow in understanding: "Have you seen Morbius?"

Lucius Crown gave a miserable laugh: "I have, I didn't expect him to treat me like this!"

A few hours ago, before dawn, Lucius Crown, who was sleeping, was woken up by Morbius, who had sneaked into his house.

He thought he was dreaming.

Because Morbius's illness was cured; he wasn't using a cane, and his body was much stronger!

"You, you are so strong! Your experiment was a success? Do you have the medicine to let us live and cure our illness?"

Morbius's experiment was a success, their illness could be saved; no one knew how excited Lucius Crown was at that moment!!!

But just as he grabbed Morbius's hand, looking forward to recovering his health and enjoying a new life like a normal person, Morbius pulled away.

"I've made a big mistake, brother."

"We all make mistakes, don't worry."

"You've never made this kind of mistake."

"Enough!"

"Give it to me, I need it, I've had enough of this life, please!"

The light was right in front of him; Lucius Crown was already impatient.

But Morbius looked at him and shook his head: "I can't do it."

"What do you mean you can't do it?" Lucius Crown was confused.

"I can't do it."

"I need it!"

"I did something wrong—I killed someone," Morbius said with remorse.

Lucius Crown comforted him hesitantly: "It doesn't matter, we can handle this kind of thing; those people on the ship were all thugs who did things for money, I can handle this matter."

Morbius still shook his head: "You don't understand."

"I understand, please! Have I ever refused you? Have I ever said no to you? I always give you what you want!!!"

Lucius Crown was anxious.

Facing his questioning, Morbius seemed to get angry too, roaring: "I can't control it! I can't control it, do you understand!!!"

Morbius's roar made Lucius Crown feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar; he already understood that Morbius didn't intend to help him, didn't intend to give him the life-saving medicine!
