Now that they are all out, and because they are helping James, the police officer Chapman who is on duty does not follow him, so Zach has some room to move freely. Vertex 23S. The fastest update. The experience of these past few days is really rare. Zac has people following him no matter what he does.
Zach has two options. Everyone can guess it.
Now Barton, don't worry about what the police are still busy with. There are two things related to the police, but the police don't know. Yes, Susan's death, and the call from Mr. Pickles right here in Knoll asking Zach to call the police.
Everyone is here, so let’s go to Mr. Pixar’s place to have a look.
The last time I came here, I got nothing but a scattered book manuscript. This time, Zach had a new focus on Herman’s scolding phone call. He knew that it was to make Herman leave after he left. Still getting information about Barton, do you know that Zach did not complete the commission that Herman left. It's Pixar.
Returning to Mr. Pixar's house, no one paid attention to Zach's illegal intrusion due to the news from the police and the working day.
There is no change here from the last time I came here. The white gauze covering the furniture, the half-collapsed sofa, the crooked phone... The only thing that is new is the smell of uninhabited life... Well, this thing is hard to explain, more like a species. It feels like when you walk into a house, you will instinctively judge whether there is anyone living here.
It is said that it will take at least ten days to months for this kind of similar smell to appear. At least you have to let some dust accumulate on the ground. But strangely enough, it already exists here.
Zach attributed this feeling to the impression brought about by the environment. After all, the last time he came here, he had discovered that the items in the house had disappeared. Coupled with the gauze covering it, the impression that the owner had left home had been fixed.
Zach didn't waste time checking the second floor. He directly picked up the phone and rummaged through the drawers on the counter for clues.
In Herman’s phone call, it was said that he had been in touch with Pixar. Of course, Zach asked why he chose Pixar. After Herman scolded him, he tried to explain it in a calm manner.
When Herman left Barton, Zach's social relations were not as complicated as they are now. He was simply a 'clerk' for the West End people. The relationship between Herman and the West Enders was not bad but average. They belonged to the same circle but there was a generation gap after all.
If you recall the development history of Barton, you will know that the people from the West End were the founders in establishing Barton. Hermann was an investor and led Barton's economic takeoff with the Hermann Factory. These are representatives of two eras of one city. Generation gap.
Therefore, Herman gave up getting information through the West Enders and found the failed family Pixar who was no longer a West Ender.
This was a clue to Zach. Go through the impression of Pixar in Zach's eyes, from the initial cover of Jackson's funeral, to donating homeless shelters to shelters, to the death of his son, to the rabbit who blew himself up in the Back Bay, to the thing that told Zach to call the police Telephone.
Mr. Pixar has always been there. Can you feel this feeling? He was always there. He was not involved in anything. Even the tragic death of his son. The focus of the incident was not him as the victim. It was Quest who wanted to frame Quinn. and Smith's Asylum.
Pixar wasn't at the heart of anything, but he was right there. Now add the fact that he was Hermann's ear for information about Patton. And the fact that he had just sold Pixar and was packing his things to leave Barton.
It's not a conspiracy theory yet, but it's worth re-evaluating this guy.
This is not the end.
That night when he stayed with Grande, he asked Zach, "Do you know about vampires?" I remember. There is also this person who, as a rabbit, has collected a group of guys who think their lives are not real and regularly share the strange events in this world in a sharing group.
As mentioned above, conspiracy theories do not apply, but this person must be re-evaluated.
Zach found more than one of Mr. Pixar’s phone books.
Who would be worth paying attention to in the contacts of such a gentleman
The first one, although old, is considered the most exquisite one. Opening it, the paper and handwriting can be said to be ancient. Zach flipped through it roughly, closed it, and put it back. This book has no value for investigation, because most of the area codes are Newton, and the number specifications are still the same as half a century ago. This should have been the contact person of the first-generation Pixar old man when the West Enders built the city together. This thing has no meaning anymore. Even if there is a big shot like Newton in it, the number should be invalid.
The second book. The handwriting is newer, and the handwriting has also changed a bit. The family and era must have changed. There are more numbers for Barton. Zach also sees familiar numbers such as Quinn, Smith, and Barton.
Zach spent some time flipping through this book. It’s not that the content is so attractive.
In about the middle part of the book, the owner of the phone book seems to have become lazy. Instead of copying contacts, he just lazily glued various business cards onto the pages of the book.
Zach saw a large number of business cards for suppliers, transportation, distribution... business. This should be the most glorious moment for the Pixar family.
This brilliant but short-lived experience makes people sigh. Soon, when entering the later part of the phone book, Zach saw the contact information of various governments, law firms, and bars in the southeast (everyone should know that the bars in the southeast were once gathering points for gangs). , Zach even saw the 'General's Rest Stop' and 'Skull and Bones' calls. And, alas, phone calls from fellow Gray Professionals Zach.
And, the new number, Liszt’s contact information, was constantly crossed out and then re-written and changed.
Zach closed the phone book that heralded Pixar's fall from glory to failure. May the demise of Liszt now comfort this phone book that has gone through changes. If phone books had feelings.
Perhaps, we should add a premise to the timing of Pixar's departure from Patton: Lister's destruction. Still, it’s not a conspiracy theory…
Open the third book.
It seems to be the latest, both in size and thickness, it is very sad.
It's become confusing, and it's a bit like an ordinary civilian's phone book. Flower shop, neighbor, takeaway, housekeeping, teacher...
There is also one more handwriting, from childish to normal, Zach sees Laura Barton, Kepler Smith, Jackson Bishop, Charlotte Falcon...
Sad? The people covered by these surnames have been reduced to classmates or playmates of my son Toby, and are recorded on this phone along with calls for takeaways and the like.
Zack frowned, folded the page on which was written 'Cathedral of the Holy Son, Father Constantine', made a mark, and then began to rummage back and forth.
Names with the following titles as prefixes and suffixes: priest, priest, deacon, nun... were mixed among these mixed contacts, and were folded and marked by Zach one by one.
Zach was distracted by lamenting that the phone book could record the prosperity of a family. It wasn't until Constantine's name that Zach noticed this.
Zach is holding this phone book. The phone book that can no longer be closed is almost full of folds. How can I close it!
Mr. Pickles, has the contact information of all the clergy of the Holy Lord Faith in the city of Barton! Including the last contact, Church of the Holy Son, Father Dance.
Uh, conspiracy... whether or not...
