In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

Page 93

One day, her mother asked her to deliver food to her grandmother who lived in the forest, and told her not to stray from the main road or go too far. Little Red Riding Hood met a wolf in the forest. She had never seen a wolf before and did not know that wolves were ferocious, so she told the wolf that she was going to visit her grandmother in the forest.

When the wolf found out, he lured Little Red Riding Hood to pick wildflowers while he went to the cabin in the woods and ate Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother. Later, he disguised himself as the grandmother and waited for Little Red Riding Hood to come looking for her, then the wolf ate her in one bite.

Fortunately, a brave hunter later rescued Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother from the wolf's belly.

People use Little Red Riding Hood to describe a naive, innocent child who is easily deceived.

This is the fairy tale version of Little Red Riding Hood, while in the American TV series Grimm, Little Red Riding Hood is used as a metaphor for the victim wearing red clothes, and the murderer... is a werewolf.

This is the first supernatural case after Nick's aunt appears and Nick awakens the Green ability. It is also because of this case that Nick meets the werewolf Eddie Monroe. From initially misunderstanding him as the murderer to getting involved in the Green world, this is how the relationship between Nick and Eddie Monroe began.

“If you find it inconvenient, I’ll be more mindful in the future,” Juliet Hill said with a smile and a shrug when she saw that Mrs. Su didn’t speak.

Ms. Su explained with a smile, "I agree with your point of view. It's better to be more comfortable and at ease at home. I was just amazed by you. You know, not everyone can wear red, especially such a bright red, so beautifully."

"Oh, thank you." Juliet Hill smiled sweetly and cheerfully prepared breakfast for Mrs. Su. "I'm off today, you can drive my car to work if you need to be on time."

"Taking a break right after starting the job?"

"Yes, they said it's to help me get familiar with the environment as soon as possible."

Su nodded, and while eating breakfast, declined Juliet Hill's offer to borrow the car, as Juliet Hill needed it more than she did.

After finishing breakfast, Su strolled towards the nearby park, then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport directly to a stall in the police station's restroom.

As Su stepped out of the restroom and into the office lobby, her 'colleagues' greeted her warmly.

"A case?" Su asked Nick as he walked in, noticing Nick and Hank separating at the door.

Nick nodded and said, "This morning, the remains of a female victim were found in the forest. To be precise, it was a leg. The rest of the body is still missing. There was an iPod at the scene. Hank went to check the fingerprints for comparison. We don't know the victim's identity yet, and we're not sure if it was a human attack or a wild animal attack. Oh, and there was also a mark at the scene, but we're not sure if it's related to the case."

Although Mr. Su was just a new consultant, the director had said that he was qualified to investigate and participate in any case. At the same time, Hank also liked this new colleague who had improved their working environment as soon as he joined the company, so after a slight hesitation, he quickly told Mr. Su about the details of the case.

Sure enough, the plot started ahead of schedule.

It's only in a sparsely populated place like the United States that such a death case would be considered an attack by wild animals. There are too many primeval forests and pristine natural environments, and wild animals are commonplace. It is precisely because of this that supernatural creatures have a space to survive and dare to harm people. If this happened in the East, well...

After learning the details of the case from Nick, Su returned to his location and recalled that the female victim was not the last one. It seemed that there was also a little girl in a red dress who was captured by the werewolf and disappeared in Berkeley Park near his home.

The killer is a werewolf. He seems to work as a postman and lives in a very remote place in the woods.

After thinking for a moment, Su got up and went to the bathroom when no one was looking. Sensing the Flying Thunder God mark left on Eddie Monroe, she teleported there instantly.

"call out--"

Just as Sue teleported into Eddie Monroe's house, a loud bang was heard as a beer bottle fell from Eddie Monroe's hand and shattered on the floor.

Eddie Monroe stared at Su Shi with his mouth agape, dumbfounded: "You...you...how did you suddenly appear in my house?"

Su shrugged: "Everyone has secrets, don't they?"

Eddie Monroe's eyes darted away as he said, "I... I have no secrets."

"Are you sure?" Su teased with a smile, "I never intended to hide it from you, otherwise you would never have discovered my secret."

“I… okay, I can tell you, but you have to tell me how you know, and… what you are.” Eddie Monroe felt a little guilty after Sue’s words, and finally gritted his teeth and transformed.

"Your transformed features are much more obvious. Even if I didn't know your identity, I could tell you were a werewolf," Su Shi commented with a light laugh as she looked at Eddie Monroe after his transformation.

Aside from thicker facial hair, larger and sharper ears, red eyes, and a slightly taller build, Eddie Monroe doesn't have many other distinctive features after his transformation, but overall he is easily recognizable as a werewolf.

“What about you? I’ve already transformed, so you should let me see your true face too,” Eddie Monroe said after transforming back.

Su shrugged and canceled the transformation spell.

Shoulder-length silver hair, unnaturally pale skin—Eddie Monroe stared in disbelief. "You…what are you? I've never seen a creature like you before."

Eddie Monroe, who is practically an encyclopedia of Vincent's knowledge, thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a creature that looked like Sue.

“There are other monsters like Vison in this world, and besides, I’m not a monster.” Su used her transformation magic to revert to her 'original' form and got straight to the point: “I need to find a werewolf postman; he should live deep in the forest.”

Eddie Monroe stared blankly at Su: "And then?"

Su smiled without saying a word as she looked at him, and his expression immediately froze: "You, you don't want me to help you find him, do you? Impossible, I would never provoke other werewolves."

Eddie Monroe shook his head vigorously, much like a rattle-drum, perfectly fitting his cowardly wolf persona. Despite being a werewolf, he behaved mostly like a husky.

Chapter 172 Juliet Hill Attacked

"Don't look at me like that. I'm different from other werewolves. I'm not that big, and I don't do bad things anymore. I've reformed. I've improved my diet, taken medication, and done Pilates. I'm a reformed werewolf."

Eddie Monroe pointed to the walls covered with clocks in the workshop: "You see, I'm a clockmaker. I don't want trouble, so I would never take you to cause trouble for other werewolves. You...you know I'm a werewolf, is that why you're deliberately befriending me?"

Su shook her head: "I know you're a reformed werewolf, and you don't want to cause trouble, but you should know that sometimes trouble will come looking for you."

Are you talking about yourself?

"of course not."

Su shook her head, and in a flash, two bottles of red wine fell to the ground. She opened one and handed it to Eddie Monroe. The two clinked their bottles together lightly, and Su continued, "You know I've become a consultant for the police department, right? Guess what I discovered there?"

“Other creatures?” Eddie Monroe 14 said, “That’s not surprising. There are many creatures here, from all walks of life.”

Sue shook her head again: "I've discovered a Green."

“Grimm? The legendary Grimm?” Eddie Monroe looked surprised and said with some worry, “Grimm has been hunting us for hundreds of years, you know? I’ve heard a lot of rumors about Grimm. My companions used to tell me stories about Grimm all the time, which scared me to death. I was just a child back then.”

“His name is Nick, he’s a policeman, and he’s probably just awakened Green’s bloodline. His aunt’s name is Mary Kessler, you’ve definitely heard of that name.”

“I’ve heard of her.” Eddie Monroe’s expression turned serious; clearly, Nick’s aunt was infamous in the Green World. “Why are you looking for that werewolf?”

"He killed someone. A female college student in a red coat was torn to pieces in the forest. Nick is in charge of the case."

"Why are you so sure it was that mailman werewolf?" Eddie Monroe asked, frowning.

Su shook her head: "I naturally have my own channels. If you help me find that werewolf, we can close the case early, which will not only save others that he might harm, but also avoid trouble for yourself."

Eddie Monroe gulped down a large mouthful of wine and said in a deep voice, "I can try, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to find it."

"Find it by smell?"

"Ah."

"Then we'll split into two groups. Call me if you find anything."

"it is good."

After leaving Eddie Monroe's house, Sue chose a direction, put on large sunglasses, and began searching with her eyes wide open. Eddie Monroe, on the other hand, drove in another direction to identify the scent.

"Oh!"

Juliet Hill closed the door, greeted the neighbors, zipped up her red tracksuit, and ran toward Berkeley Park.

She planned to walk across the park to the other side of the community to familiarize herself with the surroundings and buy some personal items.

Berkeley Park is a tranquil place with lush green grass and tall trees, full of life and the fragrance and freshness of nature.

Juliet Hill was jogging along the path in the park when, a few minutes later, she suddenly heard a little girl's voice.

The sound was fleeting. Juliet Hill wasn't sure if she had heard it, so she hesitated for a moment and continued running. A few hundred meters later, she saw a pink backpack in the roadside bushes.

This made Juliet Hill feel uneasy. She looked around and called out, "Is anyone there?" while bending down to pick up her schoolbag from the ground.

The name was written on the backpack: Robin Howell.

Judging from the condition and weight of the backpack, it was clearly not discarded. Considering the faint cries of the little girl she had just heard, Juliet Hill hesitated whether to call the police.

There seemed to be nothing unusual around, and she didn't see the little girl, only a schoolbag lying there. It was hard to tell if something had happened. After hesitating for a few seconds, Juliet Hill finally decided to call the police. If nothing was wrong, that would be good, but if something was, she might be able to help.

Juliet Hill took out her phone and looked down to call the police when she suddenly heard a strange rustling sound. Startled, she instinctively looked up.

Looking up, a furry, wild-looking creature was crouching in the nearby bushes. The moment their eyes met, the monster pounced.

"Ah..." Juliet Hill screamed and instinctively threw her backpack at the other person.

"boom!"

The backpack hit the other person in the face, and Juliet Hill turned and ran away.

Although she hadn't yet realized what had attacked her, it was definitely not human, and the little girl's screams earlier must have been real.

"Hello? Hello?" A voice called from the phone in her other hand. Juliet Hill shouted into the phone as she ran, "Berkeley Park! I've been attacked by a monster in Berkeley Park, and there's a little girl too! Come quick!"

"I've called the police! I've already called the police! The police are coming right away!" Juliet Hill shouted cleverly, trying to scare away the monster behind her with the police.

This method proved to be effective.

Upon hearing Juliet Hill's shout, the monster that had been relentlessly pursuing her suddenly stopped, turned around, and ran back. Noticing this, Juliet Hill looked back and could only see a clothed figure disappear into the forest.

"Huff...huff...huff..." Juliet Hill gasped for breath, still shaken. After hesitating for a long time, she finally turned back to see how the little girl was doing.

It must be said that Juliet Hill is very brave and kind. If it were someone else, having just been attacked by a monster, they would definitely leave the park and wait for the police to arrive. As for others? They certainly wouldn't care, what if they encountered another monster?

With a nervous and anxious heart, Juliet Hill found the backpack she had thrown away, but still couldn't see the little girl. It wasn't until she left the park that she saw a parked police car and hurried over to it.

"Did you call the police?" Nick Hank approached, then recognized Juliet Hill: "You're the girlfriend of the Sue Group consultant? What happened? You said a monster attacked you, along with a little girl?"

Juliet Hill, not having time to explain her relationship with the Su family, quickly composed herself and recounted everything that had just happened.

Soon, Nick led the team, along with the other police officers, into the park to search. Black detective Hank stayed behind to comfort Juliet Hill and also informed Sue to wait for him to arrive.

Whether it's because of the case or Juliet Hill's identity, the Sue family needs to be notified as soon as possible.

……

P.S.: Thank you so much for your generous donations, brothers! It's really not about the amount; it's just that I feel there are people who like this book and support and encourage me. Writing is a lonely and tedious process, and the greatest support is a sense of recognition. Having recognition gives me motivation.

Chapter 173: A clean and swift death!

“He’s nearby and will be here soon. Are you hurt? Do you want to go into the car and rest?” Hank put down his phone and looked at Juliet Hill.

Juliet Hill shook her head: "I'm fine."

As soon as she finished speaking, Juliet Hill felt someone put their arm around her shoulder from behind. Before she could react, she heard Mrs. Su's concerned voice: "Are you alright?"

Juliet Hill finally felt relieved after seeing Sue, and she shook her head: "I'm fine."

"You came so fast?" Hank looked at Su Shi, who appeared as soon as he hung up the phone, with surprise. Then, without thinking much, he said, "You're just in time. I've safely handed your girlfriend over to you. I'm going to find Nick to see if they've found anything."

"Thanks."
