Like the wind, James rushed through the restaurant. Judging from the flash of resolute face, he should be running upstairs.
No one in the restaurant alerted the detective who ran over. After a while, James's voice sounded from upstairs, "Zach! Where are you! Come out!!"
Then there was the sound of someone going downstairs, heading to the basement, "Zach! Where is the person?!*! Come out!"
It's Louise again, the pre-human who always reminds Zach to go easy on James, "I'll go get him."
"No need." Zach was still rocking the baby in his arms on the main seat. Although the baby had no intention of enjoying it at all, silence was the effect Zach needed. "I would like to see how long it takes for him to realize , it’s dinner time, and he’s not invited.”
It's a very simple education question. When you pop over to a friend's house during dinner time, is it like James did
The profile of his face passed the door of the restaurant again. James was really not conscious at all, even glancing in the direction of the restaurant, and rushed to the back porch like the wind, probably running to Benjamin's warehouse.
On the other hand, Bain and Lisa looked a little embarrassed. It was obvious that if Zach hadn't been holding their child, he would have gone to receive the visitor who was obviously not well-educated.
"Oh, haha, ignore that person." Just listen to how Zach introduced James to his employees, and you will understand why Zach is so indifferent to James' arrival, "Bain, you know there was A reporter is trying to find fault with Grande."
"Yes, I know." Bain replied looking at Lisa. He often looked at Lisa while talking at the dinner table. It’s not that he’s afraid of his wife, he’s just explaining some things to Lisa. Naturally, he said good things about Grande. He probably wanted to reassure his family members who were meeting his work boss for the first time, “My name is Kate. This reporter was very... well, although I don't want to describe a young woman like this, she was so 'rude'. She tried to enter the tomb area several times to interview us and take photos of the tomb area. She was stopped by security guards and got into quarrels. There were several other incidents. The first time she blocked us on our way home and insisted on asking us questions without asking our permission." Looking at Zach, "Of course, we are too lazy to pay attention to her."
Zach raised his eyebrows. This was something he didn't know, but it didn't sound important. "Haha, this person is Kate's boyfriend."
Is James Kate's boyfriend? We don't know. However, if Zach wants to introduce it this way, does anyone have any objections? If you have any objections, go talk to the otakus who kept getting group wiped out yesterday and tell them why there is no healer in their team.
"Oh." Lisa, "He seems to be an uneducated guy." Naturally, he was talking to his husband Bain and Grand's master Zach.
"Yes." Zach smiled and nodded, "But don't show it in front of him. After all, he is a police detective, and a quite famous police detective. Have you heard of Detective Lance?"
"Lan, Lance..." The two guests took a deep breath and became silent.
Of course they had heard of 'Lance'. Not to mention the reputation of the general in the west, Detective Lance himself had been in the newspapers several times. Do you still remember the reports about the mayoral candidates and the 'Remnants of the Gambling Club'? Detective Lance and his partner are heroes, uncultured heroes.
And now, the Lance detective had returned from his fruitless search in Benjamin's warehouse. He was no longer like the wind, and slowly turned around at the door of the restaurant, staring at Zach at the head table with a gloomy expression. More specifically, staring at the baby in Zach's arms.
Zach ignored it and continued to rock the baby in his arms. In order to deliberately stimulate James' senses even more, Zach also took a sip of wine.
"Office!" James spoke.
"Can't you see, we are having dinner with guests." Zach answered matter-of-factly.
"Office!!" James turned around and disappeared through the door again like the wind. So this is an imperative notification.
Zach looked at Bain and Lisa apologetically, "Do you mind?"
Since you want to highlight someone's lack of education, you must do a good job of comparison. Just like this, when you have to leave the table early, ask the guests how they feel. What a considerate host~
"No, no!" Bain was already signaling Lisa to pick up the child, "Sir, you should go up!"
Zach nodded, handed over the baby, and out of habit picked up the dinner plate that he had not touched at all, "You are free to do as you like, Louise, go prepare some tea." Of course, he got out of this uncomfortable situation. It’s dinner, and Louise can’t let Louise suffer anymore, even though Louise has already eaten half of the food by force.
When he arrived at the office, James had already consciously sat at the desk. There were documents spread out on the table. Zach casually put the dinner on the table and pushed it in the direction of James, "Eat." Don’t worry, I haven’t touched it.”
You'd think James had some pride, but no, James pulled the plate and started eating.
Well, that pretty much sums up James and Zach’s relationship. There is no need to be pretentious anymore.
Zach flipped through the files that had been laid out. It was a case file, and the key word was cross-district murder. Everyone knows what the case is, so I won’t explain it further. Zach watched for a while, then glanced at James who was eating extremely fast, "Are you here to help me, or are you here..." Zach paused in a place where he deliberately left his reverie.
If it's help, it's just the detective asking for help from the vampire's special powers, which means James doesn't yet know Zach's role in Heather's death. If it's the latter, it means that James has finally made some progress.
"Who killed her." James' words were unclear with his mouth full of food. "Give me the truth."
Zach didn't answer directly. Don't let your reverie be shattered so quickly, right? Instead, he read the words in the file, "'The victim's assistant claimed that the victim asked her to clear all her afternoon schedule when she left, without explaining the reason for leaving. The victim's assistant also emphasized that such things happen often, and The victim will ask her not to record such sudden departures on the schedule. The victim's assistant has become accustomed to this kind of thing... '" This is the summary after the transcript. Looking at the handwriting, it looks much better than James's. It should be It was written by Coulson. The meaning of Zach's reading of this paragraph is very clear, "Why should I spend time looking at this kind of thing? Just tell me the progress of the police and I will tell you the truth."
Yes, why bother being pretentious.
James clicked his tongue, lowered his head and stared at the rapidly disappearing food, not wanting to look at Zach, "You first!"
"Okay." Zach closed the file, "I don't know the specific murderer. Even the death of the Earthbinder does not reappear over such a long time span..."
"You mean the person who cut off Heather's brakes? Humph, I don't care about small roles like that." James shook the fork with a few string beans stuck in it. He probably ate his upbringing as food and also ate some of it, well, the detective's... It's hard to describe, let's feel it for ourselves.
"This is so boring." Zach shook his head without knowing what he was expressing. "If you don't tell me first, I won't have the sense of accomplishment of telling you 'things are like this and that'." Is it overkill? A little too unpretentious.
Let’s look at James’ response.
"Haha, you just like to tell others this and that, don't you? Haha, a sense of accomplishment? Do you really feel that way?"
"Of course it's true. Eternal life, I must at least find some fun in living, otherwise it will be boring."
James raised his eyes and glanced at Zach gloomily. Everyone realizes that Zach just described James as a piece of fun in eternal life. So can everyone feel the 'happy acceptance of praise' in James's heart now, "Do you want to tell me the truth or not? Or should I just ask Bumi!"
Zach raised an eyebrow, "Ask Bumi?"
"Do you think I'm stupid?! Ever since I received this case yesterday, I've noticed that the shadows of things around me will disappear inexplicably, and every time I stop on the roadside manhole cover, it will turn in the blink of an eye! It's a guess to say Bumi, but I’m sure there’s Novel following me! Are you going to tell me the truth honestly here, or should I—” He turned his head sharply and stared at the dark corner of the office, “Ask him!”
The corners of Zach's mouth curled up, "This is really, haha, impressive. James, you have the talent to be a hunter. I think Ravenci made a very correct decision in finding you." Then he nodded at James. Shi held the fork in his hand tightly, "Another corner."
James pulled the corner of his mouth and changed the direction. Bumi was curling his lips in that corner, "I thought you wouldn't notice."
"What a pity! I noticed it!" James replied gloomily.
Zack waved his hand towards Bumi, "No need to keep an eye on me here, go to Coulson's side."
Bumi nodded, "Yeah." In James's eyes, it must have been intentional, as the shadows were slowly put on the left and right like clothes, and disappeared from sight.
James pursed his lips tightly and at least tried hard to track Bumi's movements, but it was impossible. His observation skills had been exposed, and Bumi would not give James any chance to notice.
"The murderer is Falcon." The truth was revealed.
James closed his eyes and shook his head slightly when he turned back, "Falken, tell me."
"Surprised?" Zach shrugged, "Or did you expect it?"
James opened his eyes and glanced at Zach. He just didn't want to answer Zach's question directly. He pushed away the dinner plate that was already empty of food anyway and reached out to open the file in front of Zach. He clicked on a certain evidence photo. Pointing, "This is what's in Heather's company safe."
Zach wanted to continue saying that he was too lazy to look at these documents, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. James was probably not in the mood to talk to him properly. So I looked at the photo and said, "The company's safe." It was a bland statement, because there were no documents or anything in the safe in the photo, only a bunch of crumpled receipts.
Zach took off the paper clips from the photos. There were many such photos. In addition to the overview at the top, stacked at the back were the 'close-ups' of each receipt after it was unfolded.
"Receipt from Hotel xx? Never heard of it." Zach raised his eyebrows and joked unseriously, "I thought Falcon would at least be willing to book a room at the Lister Hotel."
"It has nothing to do with being willing to give up." James clicked his tongue and continued to flip through the file, pointing to another confession.
It was still Coulson's handwriting, "'The men always come out first, give a lot of tips and cash when checking out, and tell us not to leave any records.'" Zach continued to raise his eyebrows, "I didn't expect Falcon to be quite cautious. "." Continue, "'The woman will come out after the meeting, and then she will also give a lot of tips and cash, and we will issue a receipt, and we will, well, why not!'" Zach, raised his eyebrows and continued to raise his eyebrows, " Is this some kind of commemorative significance? It seems that Heather is really obsessed with Falcon... "
"I didn't tell you to look here!" James' gloominess was replaced by speechless impatience, and he clicked hard on the last part of the confession.
"'Man, I'm more than willing to cooperate with the police, but at least before you let me reveal the identity of such a generous client, you have to tell me what this is for, right? Do I need to find a lawyer... '" Zach frowned. "Coulson is very busy. Does he need to remember it so completely? I can almost imagine the scene during your interrogation."
What answered him was the corner of James' twitching mouth, and what was not surprising at all - "The West District police found some women's clothing from 'Kozier' that has not been officially released at Heather's house. Oz Kozier himself I have made a statement at the West District Police Station, saying that these products are now only provided to Lister and some members of the West District cooperative family for trial use. Well, in addition to the fact that Heather was pregnant in the autopsy report... "
James's cheeks twitched and became gloomy again. It wasn't the topic of pregnancy that aroused it, but the change in emotion - "So! It's already obvious! Coulson is not idle, he is trying every means to delay , the investigation progress that has been delayed to our North District will always be behind that of the West District! This way, it won’t be me and him who will solve the case! Do you understand?!”
Understand, Coulson doesn't want to offend some people.
Zach, after being impressed by James's observation ability, he had to be impressed by Coulson's sense of smell. Haha, he shook his head, "So, you are not too surprised. After all, according to the progress of the West District Police, they have been locked He's from the West End, right?"
"Tsk!" James's face changed to a gloomy look. Everyone should have figured out the pattern, and the emotional object changed again, "Locked? The West District Police placed the investigation aside because there are no more clues!"
This is another thing that is not surprising. Do you remember the driver of Jiedi? Fisher said it was an accident, so the police handled it as an accident.
But of course, Zach didn't think it would be easy to operate the residence. He continued to look at the confession, ignoring the verbal tugging that Coulson recorded in detail, "'It's dead * question mark exclamation mark * Oh my god * exclamation mark *This is the woman*exclamation point*... '" Please feel Coulson's "leisure" from Coulson's record that Zach fully recited, "What are you asking? That man? Uh, is that man a suspect? Homicide This woman?! Oh no! I won't say anything anymore! No! Now that I think about it! I don't remember anything!'"
Zach raised his eyebrows and turned over the record, which was the bottom cover of the document. "It seems that your Northern Police Department is also stuck in a situation where there is insufficient evidence, and the case is about to be placed..."
"No! This man definitely knows something! If Coulson hadn't dragged him until 8 hours, I had to let that guy go. I can definitely ask who that man is! Now, hum, it's easy, I just need to ask him if he is Just Falcon!”
Zach continued to raise his eyebrows, "So, this poor receptionist at Hotel XX is the key witness in this case?" Zach closed the file and looked at James seriously, "James, you are not thinking. Why is Bumi following you?"
"Because yesterday!" James didn't feel conscious at all, "You were unhappy with me and Kate! You were also unhappy that I didn't ask you for help! So I used this childish way..."
No matter what malicious suspicions James might have about Zach's character, Zach put an end to his initial reverie, "Because my mission is to make this case go away. Be serious, James. West Ender, Grande. This case was already with me before it came to your North District Police Department."
In the eyes of James, Zach clapped his hands and said, "Just right." He smiled and looked at Louise who came in with tea, "Give it to James quickly. He seems to have been busy all day and hasn't eaten anything. He is very hungry." Looks like~ I want to go out for a while."
Before James could react, Zach was no longer in the office, along with, of course, an address pulled from the case file. (.)
