Chapter 66 Mild Suspicion
The guard stared at Zoravec keenly with his eyes darted towards him. The certain gesture made him feel that something was indeed suspicious. Nonetheless, as Zoravec approached the cop he slightly bowed as a gesture of respect known among the vampires.
It was obvious that the high class law regulators were vampires. And the casual activities were handed over to the dhampirs. Zoravec knew the basic customs and the necessary respect related stuff.
"G- good morning, sir."
Zoravec greeted the cop with utter respect and tried his best to sound convincing. He intended to make sure that the cop would not suspect him in any way. Zoravec grinned inwardly upon the way that cop looked at him from head to toe.
'Hehe, you can't catch me. You would never know how she died.'
No doubt whatever Zoravec said was true since nobody would have really thought that anyone could die during sex. It was unusual to happen among the humans and vampires too.
However, the cops were still supposed to conduct the investigation because it was indeed a murder. It did not matter what type it was or how it was done, and that was what disturbed Zoravec deep down. He did not intend to rot in jail just because he accidentally killed someone.
The cop analysed him from head to toe and squinted his eyes. Being a vampire he could smell Zoravec's scent which appeared to be like humans. Yes, for some reason Zoravec's natural scent and aura was neither of a vampire nor of a human exactly. But the inclination was towards human type aura which saved him that day.
"Mm, morning."
The man reached for Zoravec's student ID card and read his name and grade. It assured him that the boy was of no threat and he might have mistaken his late arrival. Whereas Zoravec inhaled sharply at the action since deep down he was indeed scared of anything being ruined.
"Why are you coming late today? What took you so long?"
Zoravec immediately thought of some excuse to say to the cop. He knew they would eventually find out where he had been and whatever happened with him. That's why he truthfully narrated the thing as much as he should have.
The cop looked at Zoravec in order to find anything suspicious about him. He knew that asserting such dominance would definitely affect him. The man assumed that Zoravec deliberately arrived at the school to ditch the interrogation. That was what forced him to persist Zoravec into answering the questions.
On the other hand, Zoravec himself was aware those questions were useless because they added nothing to the actual case. But he was obliged to answer them if he desired to be left alone in the future. After all, Zoravec had to continue living like an ordinary human if he did not want anymore trouble in the future.
"I… sir, I was caught in an accident with a girl this morning. It took me…it took me a lot of time to sort that out. And everything resulted in me missing the bus, so I had to come to school by catching another one."
Thus, Zoravec replied to the cop in a polite tone but he pretended to be afraid of the inquiry.
No wonder he had become a good actor in just one day. Zoravec made sure that the cop would be convinced by his tone and let him go. Thus, he tried his best to keep his acts natural and not overdone it.
On the other side of the picture, Devi was a witness to all that situation. She wanted to observe what Zoravec was up to and silently watched everything. The demoness did not intend to participate in it considering that her presence might fuck up things even more.
Since Devi was not favoured by Zoravec to begin with. And now her presence in front of the cops would have made the situation worse. Devi could not afford to put Zoravec in any spot where he was the one at loss. The demoness heard the conversation between the cop and Zoravec.
She kept her promise of serving him with all her might, and probably swore to be with Zoravec till her last breath. Devi did not intend to butt in with the interrogation matter knowing that Zoravec could handle everything on his own. That was why she simply followed him around quietly.
The cop squinted his eyes again and questioned Zoravec. He could clearly see that he was nothing suspicious but for some reason the man did not stop. It appeared as if he was deliberately mocking and pestering Zoravec for some personal grudge.
"I see. You must not be aware that your classmate died yesterday."
The man told him and looked for any kind of expression on Zoravec's face. As much as the boy could fake his tone, Zoravec could not bring the natural shocking expression. The cop immediately recognised that he was faking to be stunned and was inwardly calm.
"Is that….what are you saying, sir? How can it be? It…it's not possible."
Zoravec's voice staggered a bit as he voiced out the most expected reply. However, his facial expressions and the words did not match. It was possible and kind of easy to fake and mold his voice but Zoravec could not bring shock and horror over his face.
"Which classmate are you talking about, sir? Is this why you are here? Did the culprit get caught?"
He asked so many questions in one go, making the cop a little bit annoyed. He did not plan to respond to any question asked by Zoravec. Instead the man was supposed to be the one conducting interrogation and asking queries.
"You should head to your class. Might help you become up to date with the current situation."
The cop raised his right eyebrow in an assertive manner, as he tried to mock Zoravec. He left the boy contemplating his actions for bombarding the cop with his questions.
