Sue recounted in detail to Juliet Hill how she and Eddie Monroe had searched for the werewolf mailman in connection with the college student murder case that morning, how they received a call from Juliet Hill about the attack, how they separated, found the werewolf, killed him, rescued the little girl, and then pretended to find her in the park.
"I... I'm a little confused right now, so you all already knew who the killer was, knew the killer was a werewolf, and then... Monroe was also a werewolf, and you could teleport, teleporting from the park to Monroe's side, and then teleporting from the werewolf killer's house to the park?"
Mrs. Su nodded: "If you want to move out, I understand."
Chapter 175 Rapunzel and Her Two Brothers
Juliet Hill looked at Sue in astonishment: "Why move? Although the truth has indeed shocked me and even shattered my worldview, if this is the truth of the world, even if I leave here, they will still exist, and I may still encounter them again."
"As for you killing the werewolf..." Juliet Hill smiled brightly, "You don't think I'm that kind of old-fashioned woman, do you? I only feel at peace knowing you killed him!"
"You are a consultant for the police department, and you rescued a kidnapped little girl, saving people who might be harmed by him in the future. In my opinion, you are not a murderer, but a hero! If the police shoot and kill a murderer or kidnapper, do you think his friends will be afraid or even leave him because of it?"
"Since people can be good or bad, I think there must be some kind monsters among them, like Monroe. I really didn't expect that the seemingly simple-minded and cute Monroe would actually be a werewolf. He doesn't seem like one at all."
Juliet Hill's words made Su's lips slowly curl into a smile. Although he didn't care much about other people's opinions, he was naturally happy to have someone understand and agree with him.
"Oh!"
Su took out a bottle of champagne and opened it. The two sat on the sofa, drinking and talking about the Vison monster and Su's abilities.
Their open and honest conversations, combined with the effects of alcohol, made them more familiar with each other and brought them closer together.

The next day, a beaming Sue went to the police station to ask Nick about the progress of the case.
The case, which had been without any leads, came to a conclusion last night when someone reported the discovery of the deliveryman's charred body. They found shoe prints in the deliveryman's home that matched those at the previous crime scene, and also discovered many red clothes in the basement, all of which belonged to the victim.
Besides the female college student who was running, several other similar cases of wild animal attacks have also been clarified, and it turns out that they were all killed by deliverymen.
As for why the deliveryman was burned to death in front of his own house, although there are still some doubts, due to various reasons, it was ultimately determined that he committed suicide by self-immolation out of fear of being exposed.
Her colleagues expressed their concern for Juliet Hill, and Su thanked them one by one. Finally, she ordered a large batch of coffee and snacks from a nearby coffee shop. Amidst the thanks, she turned on the computer on her desk to look for any other cases related to the Vison Monster.
This search did indeed yield some results.
Many years ago, there was a case of a missing girl named Holly Clark. She had been missing for nine years and should be sixteen years old this year.
She should be the 'Rapunzel' from the series Grimm. After being kidnapped by her neighbor, she lived alone in the forest for nine years, keeping her hair long. She relied on stealing food, drink, and supplies from a gang that illegally cultivated prohibited plants in the forest. Her true identity is a werewolf.
"When you have time, you can send your shadow clones to search the surrounding forests." After noting down the general information, Su checked online for suitable land or large buildings for sale. Although she hadn't figured out the procedures for opening a supermarket yet, securing land first was definitely the right thing to do.
"Ring ring ring..." The phone rang; it was Eddie Monroe calling.
When Su answered the phone, Eddie Monroe cautiously inquired about the werewolf postman. He breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the case had been closed.
"Are you free right now?" Su asked casually.
"I'm not busy, what's wrong?"
"Come pick me up from the police station. I have something I'd like to talk to you about."
"Uh, okay."
Half an hour later, Sue received another call from Eddie Monroe, then told Nick to call him if he encountered any cases, before leaving the police station and getting into Eddie Monroe's Beetle.
"What do you want to talk about?" Eddie Monroe asked.
Su frowned slightly as she looked at the Beetle's old interior, then thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Will you buy me a drink?"
"Now?" Eddie Monroe glanced at the time. Drinking in the morning? No, wait, you called me to pick me up saying you wanted to talk about something just so I'd buy you drinks?
"Let's find a place to have a drink and chat; it's related to another werewolf."
"Werewolves again?" Eddie Monroe muttered, then started the car and took Su to a club.
A club called Tuoxiu.
Su, who got out of the car, looked at Eddie Monroe, who looked like an honest man, with a strange expression. "Looking at your honest and simple appearance, I never thought you would be this kind of person."
· ····Requesting flowers·· ······
Eddie Monroe explained awkwardly, "Don't get me wrong, this is a club where people like Vison gather. I rarely... well, I come here occasionally."
A club where monsters gather?
Show off?
Sue suddenly recalled the plot of a certain episode of Grimm.
"Many warriors have already perished here, and you too will soon meet your end," the seven-headed dragon said, spewing fire from its seven mouths. —Grimm's Fairy Tale: "The Two Brothers"
There are indeed two brothers in this episode, two thieves who steal copper, and they encounter a fire demon who also steals copper. They are burned to death as soon as they appear.
The real protagonist is not the two brothers, but the fire demon from the Visen monsters.
While investigating the case, Nick investigates the Fire Demon's daughter, who performs fire-breathing at this club, and it is there that he meets Eddie Monroe.
. . .......
"Did you come to see the performance or to see a particular person?" Su asked with a smile.
Eddie Monroe chuckled sheepishly, then, like a fervent fan, led Sue into the club while enthusiastically promoting her: "Ariel Eberhart, she's absolutely the hottest person in the club, you know why? She's a fire demon!"
"I don't actually know much about fire demons. Their current numbers are limited. They are an ancient species, and as far as I know, they belong to the dragon lineage."
Although it was morning, the club was already open and had quite a few customers. There were also performances on the main stage and the smaller stages around it.
Eddie Monroe, familiar with the place, ordered two beer glasses from the bartender, then found a seat and sat down with Su.
"You mentioned something about another werewolf, what is it about?" Eddie Monroe asked Su while watching the performance on stage and drinking his beer.
“I found a missing person case from nine years ago at the police station. A little girl named Holly Clark went missing. As far as I know, she is a werewolf and is still alive, living alone in the forest.” Sue followed suit, drinking beer and watching the performance.
It's a pity that the performer wasn't Miss Fire Demon.
Sue had a pretty deep impression of Ariel Eberhart, the Fire Demon who turned Eddie Monroe into a fanatical little fan.
Partly because she is a fire demon, and partly because of her appearance. (The last sentence appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)
Chapter 176 Miss Fire Demon
In a way, Miss Fire Demon and Juliet Hill actually come from the same world, and Miss Fire Demon is even more famous than Juliet Hill.
In DC's Arrowverse, Juliet Hill is Superman's girlfriend, Lois Lane, while Fire Demon is something else entirely. She's an indispensable member of the Flash team; she's Caitlin Snow, also known as Killer Frost!
Of course, in this world she is just Ariel Eberhart, a fire demon, a Vison monster who performs fire-breathing acrobatics in a scantily clad club.
Although I didn't get to see Miss Fire Demon, the trip was still worthwhile.
Su rolled his eyes and looked around. Most of the guests and staff here were Vison monsters. He could recognize some of them, such as rat spirits and pig spirits, but others were hard to identify.
This is where Eddie Monroe from the Vinson Encyclopedia came in handy. With his quiet, detailed explanations, Su's eyes were opened, and he gained a much better understanding of the Vinson monsters.
After satisfying Sue's curiosity about the Wessen monster, Eddie Monroe asked about the werewolf girl: "You want me to help you find the werewolf girl who lives alone in the forest?"
Su nodded.
Eddie Monroe hesitated for a moment: "Could this little girl have done something illegal too?"
“I’m an advisor, not a police officer,” Su said with a sneer. “Besides, looks determine fate. She’s not my enemy, so I naturally won’t make things difficult for her.”
"So what is your purpose in looking for her?" Eddie Monroe asked curiously.
Su said, "I'll satisfy my curiosity and give her a new life. Of course, if she doesn't want to come with me, I won't force her to stay. She was a perfectly good girl who was almost kidnapped and lived alone in the forest for nine years. That's tough enough."
“I’ll help you with this,” Eddie Monroe said.
Su nodded, then suddenly asked with a hint of gossip, "Was your ex-girlfriend also a werewolf?"
The reason for gossiping about Eddie Monroe's love life is that Sue suddenly remembered that his ex-girlfriend looked exactly like Hypatia. (Hypatia is the flight attendant mentioned earlier, the source of the black magic.)
Sue was curious whether Eddie Monroe's ex-girlfriend was an independent werewolf or a fake identity of Hypatia. Although Hypatia couldn't use dark magic, she should have a way to impersonate a werewolf.
Eddie Monroe stared blankly at Su: "How did you know my ex-girlfriend was a werewolf?"
Su shrugged and was about to say it wasn't important when cheers suddenly erupted around them. Then, Eddie Monroe, who had been curious, stopped asking questions and stared intently at the stage, even whistling lightly.
On stage, a girl dressed in a performance costume with two braids smiled and performed for the audience while holding a flame prop.
"Whoosh..." He opened his mouth and breathed towards the fire prop, and the flames that were originally burning on the prop instantly became more intense, several times larger.
Then, like many fire-breathing performers in acrobatic troupes or shows, she began to breathe fire at various props while dancing.
Putting aside other factors, her performance is very entertaining. To the average person who is unaware of the technology, this performance is also highly technical, since both breathing fire and swallowing flames require professional training and props.
"What are the characteristics of the Fire Demon?" Su asked Eddie Monroe, who was completely captivated by the performance.
Eddie Monroe didn't even turn his head, replying dismissively in a tone of forced acquiescence: "They can liquefy the surrounding air before they breathe fire, similar to coughing, thus igniting the fire. That's all I know, and I don't think now is the time to talk about that."
"You like her?" Su asked gossipily.
Perhaps due to preconceived notions, although she thought the Fire Demon Miss performing on stage was very beautiful and charming, she wasn't quite as obsessed as Eddie Monroe.
“Of course!” Eddie Monroe said, then explained, “But the kind of liking I’m talking about isn’t that kind of liking, it’s just pure appreciation. And it’s said… it’s said that the Fire Demon has a bad temper, is very fiery, very aggressive, and has his own ‘pride’.”
Pride?
You're telling me someone who performs in a club like this has pride? Well, maybe everyone has a different understanding of pride.
Perhaps for Miss Fire Demon, earning a living on her own is a kind of pride.
Of course, the "Fire Demon" lady was just dressed lightly for her performance; it's not like her job has any particularly strong sexual connotations. Like those fire-breathing acrobats in a circus troupe, how many of them wear thick clothing? Aren't they afraid of accidentally getting burned by sparks or developing heat rash?
Mrs. Su raised her hand and called over the bartender who was not far away. She quickly counted out a thousand US dollars: "This is a reward for her. Can she come over for a drink after the performance?"
"This..." the bartender hesitated.
"understood."
Su stood up with a smile, clapped her hands to attract the attention of those around her, and then announced loudly, "This round is on me!"
Eddie Monroe was stunned, the bartender was stunned, and the Fire Demon girl on stage was also stunned, but the surrounding guests were not stunned. After a brief silence, there were excited cheers and applause.
"Is it ready now?" Mrs. Su asked the bartender with a smile.
The bartender nodded: "I can pass on the message for you, but I can't guarantee she'll come."
"Understood." Ms. Su handed over the bank card, then wondered if she should get a checkbook; it seemed a bit beneath her to always just use the bank card.
