A bit like a person who subconsciously wipes the moisture from his mouth after waking up from sleep. Zach let go of Darcy's arm and licked the corners of his mouth.
"Am I delicious?" Darcy looked at Zach with a strange look on his face.
Zach was stunned for a moment, "What?"
Darcy's mouth curled up strangely, indicating the movements of Zach's mouth.
"Oh, this?" Zach twitched the corner of his mouth, "Get used to the movements, don't think too much, it's the same as table manners, it's just a good habit."
Darcy waved his hand, "Have you received the information?"
Zach nodded, "It's a bit messy, but thank you." He closed his eyes for a moment and felt it, with a hint of hesitation at the corner of his mouth, "Can I ask why?"
"what why."
"I told you to pay more attention. My ability to receive blood information is not as good as Lesembra's, but you didn't pay too much attention. I learned some unnecessary things about you." Zach looked quite calm, " You were kept captive by the Sabbat voluntarily."
Darcy frowned, hesitated, and then said, "I'm tired of the random birth of life. I don't want to become a tree or a mushroom." Remember the damn random life cycle of the inheritor, Darcy The corners of his eyes twitched, "I knew the Sabbat was keeping inheritors in captivity, so I took the initiative to go there." He glanced at Zach, "At least in the Sabbat, I can be a human in every life cycle."
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Can't you control it yourself?" What Zach was confused about was that the life of the inheritor was born. It is very simple to break the random birth. The inheritor can just create his own offspring. He needs to be given a banquet by the Sabbat. In captivity
"Can I?" Darcy glanced at Zach and asked rhetorically, "Do you think it would be great to be born from the body of a woman who was fucked ten months ago? Ten months later. "
Zach really wasn't expecting the topic to suddenly turn out so, well, bad. He frowned and said, "You made me have that picture in my mind. You must have done it on purpose."
Darcy curled his lips and tilted his head, "I believe that every inheritor has tried to control his own life cycle, but none of them have good results." He shook his head irritably, "That's not life, that's not even survival. It doesn’t even count.” He glanced at Zach and said, “Have you ever seen a child who has just started to grow hair, and starts to look for people to mate with in the fear that this life cycle will end at any time, to prepare for the next life cycle? Are you going to live as an advanced creature (human being)?" He shook his head and emphasized again, "That's not life."
Inevitably, Zach had another picture in his mind, a bad picture, he frowned and didn't want to respond.
Darcy's face wasn't very good either, and he waved his hands, "In the first life cycle of the Sabbat, I lived to the age of 40, and really lived. In every subsequent life cycle, I can truly live a life, so don't Asking ‘why’ in this condescending and judgmental tone, this is why.”
Is Zach being superior? No, it's just that the statement puts 'active' and 'captive' together. Forget it, Zach is not going to say more about this issue. Who knows what other uncomfortable pictures Darcy will construct, "Then, this life cycle of yours is the last one, right." Zach's He gestured to Darcy with his hand, "I have received your, well, how should I say, wish? If you complete this Barton mission for the Sabbat, you will no longer have to go through the life cycle. The Sabbat will transform you into immortality. of vampires."
"Yes." Darcy did not deny anything, "This body is defective and I cannot have offspring. This is my last chance."
Zach nodded and asked an inexplicable question, "How many life cycles have you inherited in the Sabbat?"
Darcy frowned, "Who can count this?" But he still thought about it, "About a dozen times, some are long and some are short." He glanced at Zach, a little weirdly serious, "This is the longest time I have been born as a human in a row. A long time. If I were randomly born again and turned into some low-level creature, I swear, even if I destroy this world and end the hell life cycle of the inheritor! I am willing to do it!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Well, good luck to you." The topic came to an end, and he pointed to the direction of the door - James was still eavesdropping outside, and Zach started a new topic, "Tell me, why Bring James and Coulson over."
Darcy adjusted his sitting position in order to change his mood, "They will need your help on the case."
Zach should be proud of himself. The police chief brought his detectives to ask him, a funeral owner, to help. But Zach had no premonition now and made a gesture of invitation.
"One of my..." Darcy frowned and thought about the words, "Informant." He glanced at Zach to see if Zach accepted this statement.
Actually, no, it's too early, he hasn't said anything yet, Zach doesn't care about a title.
"Dead." Darcy began to move the small objects on the table, such as pen holders, name tags, etc., Zach's things. Darcy pointed to the nameplate tilted, "This is my home, Noel's villa." Pointed to the pen holder, "This is the police station." Along the road made of pens, "On my way to work, this morning, he died , right in front of my eyes.”
Zach pursed his lips and put everything back in place, "Just say it, I don't need a schematic."
"The detailed information is with James." Darcy frowned, probably dissatisfied with Zach's interruption, "I just want to give you a heads up. You will find yourself in a position that is not easy to be a human being. .”
Still, Zach didn't hear any substantive case, "So you, the director, personally came to ask me to help your detectives handle the case?"
"Yes." Darcy was straightforward enough, "You are a very precious resource in the eyes of the Sabbat. You have just noticed it yourself. The Sabbat is constantly testing your position." He was talking about the Sabbat's rewards. , "You don't have to exclude anything, that's how it is. If you do good things for the Sabbat, the Sabbat will reward you. It's very simple. But if you do something bad for the Sabbat." He didn't continue.
Zach said nonsense without any expression, "Well, it is my duty as a citizen to help the police, right? You don't have to give me any big reasons, Mr. Director."
Darcy's face was a little strange, because he didn't quite understand what Zach meant. He pondered for a while and stood up, "You should let them talk to you. Remember your position. You know what to do and do the right thing." Choice. I shouldn’t stay here any longer, I’m very busy.”
Zach pointed directly in the direction of the door, "No."
During the short period of time when people were changing in the office, Zach made some guesses about the case. Darcy mentioned Zach's position, which should be a reminder, and then Darcy deliberately described that people died on his way to work, which meant it was targeted. Recently, Zach actually dealt with a matter that targeted Darcy. Nate. But Zach immediately rejected this speculation. The West Enders would not break up with Darcy yet, because Mrs. Quinn is the only one who clearly knows that Darcy, as a member of the Sabbat, is the opposite of the West Enders. The enemy now agreed by the West Enders is Lister, who plunged Fisher into a human trafficking crisis.
Snapped!
The file was thrown in front of Zach. Of course it was James who did it. Coulson pulled up a chair and sat in a far corner, folding his arms. It seemed that he was not ready to speak.
In line with Zach's usual style, he opened the file and only looked at the photo on the title page. He raised his eyebrows in confusion and then closed them, "Let's get straight to the point, I don't need to see your documents, I'm just a civilian. "
"The deceased was Liszt's personal assistant. He died suddenly. It is initially determined to be an overdose of illegal drugs. The more accurate report is still awaiting the report from the bureau."
Zach opened the file again, glanced at the young face in the photo, curled his lips and motioned for James to continue. The two homicide detectives' statement here means that it has been determined to be a homicide.
However, Zach started to realize that it was wrong to target Darcy. It should be the other way around, and it was Darcy who was targeting others. After all, when talking about illegal drugs, Smith should be thought of.
James looked back at Coulson with a not so good look on his face, "Detective Coulson has already questioned Mr. Lister immediately and learned that the assistant was sent to Port Marsa to discuss with Mr. Fisher the day before. Something I haven’t returned to all night long…”
Zach waved his hand, there was no need to listen to anything more. He glanced at James and then at Coulson, who was silent, "What do you want? What does your director want?"
Do you understand the meaning of this question? It is the work of the police to solve the case, not Zach, an enthusiastic citizen who has helped the police several times. So, Zach is asking, 'What do you want from me, a civilian?' '
James's face twitched and he did not answer, "A few days ago, Lister's cargo list found imported goods lost in the Port of Marsa..." Ah, do you still remember this little thing? It happened in class, "Liszt's assistant died on the way to find the director today..."
Zach interrupted again and looked at Coulson, "Detective Coulson, you seem very quiet. Do you have any comments you would like to share?"
Coulson looked at Zach, hehe, his eyes twitched and he turned away. Do you still remember the turning point when Coulson's impression of Zach turned from heaven to earth? Yes, the cancellation of Mokawi Wanted - Zach made Coulson look like a fool.
James wanted to say something else, but Zach raised his hand to stop him, with an apologetic smile on his face, "Detective Coulson, I'm sorry about the Mokawi incident." He pointed at James, "I was Those erroneous information must have embarrassed Detective Jang in the bureau. I'm really sorry. I've been asking James to convey my apology to me, but it seems that the detective hasn't forgiven me yet. Today I personally... "
Between Zach's sincerity and James's expression of contortion, Coulson's eyebrows raised, "Did you ask James to bring me an apology??"
"Of course!" Zach said with great certainty and sincerity, "After James confirmed the identity of Central Mokavi, he knew that she could not be the person who assassinated Director Darcy. I was very sorry to give you the information at that time. Every time I see James, I ask him to convey this apology to me. What's wrong? Didn't you receive my conveyance? "
"I didn't!" Coulson glared at James, and just in time, James's face was twisted for anyone to interpret at will.
"Oh." Zach's surprise appeared for a moment, but he couldn't go too far. After that, James might really explode. "Maybe James was too busy and forgot about it. It doesn't matter. Apologizing should be done in person." It's better to come." He stood up and leaned slightly, "I'm sorry, Detective Coulson, I shouldn't have given you that misleading information at that time."
Coulson also stood up, with a troubled look on his face, "Uh, no, it's okay, it's all over."
Zach nodded and sat down. Don't think that Zach went off topic and did this just to disgust James. The real purpose is here. Darcy left with a sentence asking Zach to make the right choice and remember his own position? —
"Well, Detective Coulson, don't let James say it alone. You can also tell me your views on this case." Zach's eyes returned to the file in front of James and passed in front of James. Regardless of James, He opened his mouth to say anything at this moment, but was forced back. The rhythm of this case discussion could only be controlled by Zach, "First of all, I am very flattered that your director will personally get rid of me from participating in this case. But, I am also very flattered. Confused, why? Why are you looking for me? Is it because I have helped James a few times?" Deliberately, he glanced at James with a hint of complaint, "I thought that as an informant, I should be protected. After all, you have I don't have a gun, I'm just a civilian." This last sentence was said to Coulson with a smile, deliberately.
Coulson smiled awkwardly, Zach is just a civilian? Oh, forget it, I dragged my chair to sit in front of the desk, just to officially join the conversation, "To be honest, I was also surprised that the director would bring us to you, but Zach, there is no need for you to be humble. What, you are a guy with a lot of resources, everyone has to obey! I heard that Director Cologne personally asked you for help in the South District! So don’t say those boring things, and don’t blame Lance for not protecting your identity, your With your reputation, everyone knows that Lance has you hidden up his sleeve! I didn’t try to snatch you as an informant, just to give Lance some face and add some of our professional ethics.”
Surprisingly pertinent and accurate. Zach was satisfied.
The reason for letting Coulson join the conversation is that he needs Coulson's 'accurate' opinion! All Zach had to do was to introduce, "Oh, this is such an honor for me. Stop talking about this, what about Detective Coulson, this case?"
"Trouble!" Detective Coulson directly gave the conclusion, "Big trouble!! I always feel that the trend of various things happening is not right recently! The West End people, Lister, our director! They are dragging on a bunch of things with no results. ! Now I’m even more convinced! It’s just that idiot Lance who doesn’t feel anything at all! He stupidly took over a dead man’s case when he saw it! He even made the director bring us to you!"
oh? Is James a fool? That means Coulson is a smart guy. Let’s see how smart he is—
Zach glanced at James, whose face was about to drip with ink, and asked Coulson, "What should I say?"
"I'll just tell you the truth! I definitely don't want to offend the people of the West End! After Fisher's name appears in Liszt's mouth, I will never, never use any force again!" Coulson glanced at Zach, and then looked back. Turning to James, "Lance, I know you have the aura of 'Lance' as your surname. You don't care, I don't care about you! But now Grande, don't be stupid again! Until the director comes to find Zach What do you mean! Zack, who has helped you so many times, don’t you know yet? He is on the West District side! Do you want me to explain clearly what the director means by bringing you here! The director knows you don’t know how to If you listen to me, you won't listen to him! But you will listen to Zach!" The 'smart' Coulson concluded, "This case cannot be investigated!"
"Yes." Zach nodded, "James, you have a good partner."
Can you understand what Zach did? In short, Darcy asked Zach to choose the right position. Did Zach choose it? Before he could do it, after being slapped by Coulson's "smart" for a while, Zach's position had changed. The smart guy chose it and slapped it on his body.
At this time, what could James, who was looking dark, be able to argue with, couldn't, let alone Zach, just accept this position happily and let James and Darcy struggle. (.)
