Zach printed four copies of the report, sent one to Chief Darcy of the North District Police Department, one to Hamilton, and left one for Siris to take home and give to his 'father' Nenad, provided that this product was Come to work in Grande. Vertex 23S. It should be updated as soon as possible, after all, his small work team is part-time. The last one, by mail Nick Giovanni.
This arrangement is to ensure that your report is actually seen by everyone and no part of it is withheld by any party. Zach is thorough enough.
Zach was going to go out to work, and he had to go to the South District Police Station to meet with Chief Cologne. I promised to go in person.
He didn't even leave the office when he was stopped by Emilia. The psychiatrist handed Zach a bill with an angry look, "Pay the bill! I quit!"
Zach glanced at the bill that was handed to him, and his first reaction was, "Why are you so expensive?"
"I charge by the hour!" Emilia replied matter-of-factly, and, "Normally, I'm not that expensive, but since I'm working for you Grande, this is my price!" So direct.
Zach didn't want to argue, so he wrote the check silently, "At least tell me that Evan was, uh, cured." In fact, Zach knew the answer and he heard it. Haha, Evan was still very early in the process of being cured. All Zach needed was for Emilia to say he was cured, and for Grande to fulfill his obligations to his employees, that's it.
"He didn't." Amelia was really inconsiderate. She glared at Zach and said, "But if you need me to issue you a certificate or something." She took the check handed over by Zach and was satisfied. nodded, "I'm happy to."
This world is hopeless. Emilia is tainted.
Zach glanced at Amelia and raised his hand to signal, "Then let's issue the certificate."
Emilia rolled her eyes before grabbing a pen and paper and started writing.
Zach is still a little curious about what Amelia will write:
'The patient is in good physical and mental health... 'Bullshit, lies, 'It takes a period of time to accept one's true orientation after discovering it, which is a normal psychological adaptation stage... '
What the hell
Zach had to interrupt Amelia, "Wait, you mean Evan is just..." Zach almost said a not-so-nice term.
"He is." Emilia stared at Zach, "He himself interpreted the process of performing a certain behavior with Bishop as a religious ritual. That was his way of thinking to rationalize the pleasure he felt!"
This topic started to surprise Zach, "Pleasure? Evan, pleasure?"
"Yes! Are you surprised?" Emilia rolled her eyes again, "You've been eavesdropping a lot these days, right? Can't you hear the satisfaction in his voice every time he repeats that experience? Humph, he likes that." Then Emilia pouted, "He just doesn't know why he likes it, so he uses a ridiculous way to explain why he likes it. This is normal."
"Oh." Zach was not ready to continue the discussion, "On the wonders of human psychology, right."
Amelia finished issuing the certificate, picked up her check, and before leaving, she glanced at Zach who was about to go out with her, "I'll tell you one last thing." She rolled her eyes, "The high price is not because of you, it's because The special status of your employees.”
So, the reason why Amelia charges a high price is not that she hates Zach, but just out of concern for personal safety in Grande? Haha, yes, quite kind.
"I'm glad to know this~" Zach smiled and expressed his gratitude. In addition, this reminded Zach, "I have a proposal. I wonder if you are willing to do it." This is because the noise in the living area is still continuing until now. Sting's maintenance service is always harassed by ex-criminals. "I think Grande's employees should have more contact with people in society besides customers." At least they won't be too 'excited' if one of them comes. "Are you willing to come to Grande regularly to provide them with psychological counseling?"
Amelia's first reaction was excitement, and you could see her hand holding the check a little harder. After all, no one would have trouble with money. But quickly, "No, I'm very busy." Looking at Zach, "You know I have a contract with the nursing home in Pochquin. I..." Amelia frowned and shook her head, "The current situation in the nursing home Some, complicated. Enough to keep me busy."
Zach understands what Emilia means. The wizard soul brought by Madam Furious Waves has arrived at the nursing home. She asked Zach to go see it with her before, but Zach refused. Remember.
Emilia had to adapt to her patient's overall personality 'growth', which was probably enough for her.
However, Emilia may be a little surprised by how much Zach cares about Grande employees, "If you really want to do something for Grande employees, why not imitate the prison and invite a priest or priest to come regularly? ,them, for free.”
"Forget it." Zach smiled and shook his head, "At least you heard Harrison talk about the murder of the Republic."
Emilia's face wrinkled and she stopped talking.
The two cars left Grande one after another, and Zach delivered the report as planned. There is nothing to say about this part, so just skip it. Zach’s last stop is the Southern District Police Station.
I hope everyone still remembers that Zach misled Director Cologne and made him think that Zach was from the Lance family and came to Barton to help pave the way for James to complete his career. For this reason, Director Cologne, including Detective Coulson, were curious about what Zach and James were doing when they went west at the same time.
But curiosity was obviously not enough for them to ask, because Zach had no obligation to explain to them. So it's important to find a reason.
Do you think Coulson came to Grande today to pick up the wind for James? No, no one knew James was back except those in the know. It was pure luck that Coulson came to Grand just in time for James to come back. He actually came to Zach to talk about Benjamin's ancestors' firm.
"Office office." Detective Coulson saw Zach coming and irritably directed Zach to see the director, but he packed up his equipment and hurried out of the police station.
"Did something happen?" Zach had to be curious. This was the Southern District Police Station. If he saw the scene of busy work at the North District Police Station, Zach could still ignore it as if this was the daily work of the police. But that's not the case in the Southern District where I live.
"Nothing, nothing." Coulson moved away from Zach impatiently.
Uh, forget it, just ask the director. Just as Zach turned around to go to Cologne's office, Coulson ran back and glared at his colleagues who were waiting for him in the distance, "What are you looking at! You go first!" Then he faced Zach with a troubled look on his face, "There was a fight at the port construction site, and there were conflicts between workers and surrounding residents."
Zach raised his eyebrows, "I thought the workers at the port were the surrounding residents." Wasn't that the information given by Louise after 4 a.m. this morning? Falcon's project was short of people, so he called in farmers from the South District.
"Uh..." Coulson opened his mouth, "That's right! That's why it's troublesome! We don't know how to mediate the conflict! The positions of both sides are in chaos!" The police were also quite pitiful.
"Oh." Zach gave him an apologetic look, "Then I can't help you."
Just after Zach said such words, Coulson's face turned into disappointment, then he shook his head helplessly and walked away, muttering as he walked, "Yeah, you are doing big things, what did I expect, eh..."
It is inappropriate in every sense of the word to say this from a law enforcer.
But Zach's mood was brightened by Coulson, and he entered Director Cologne's office with a hint of pride.
As we have described before, the soundproofing of this office is not very good, so Director Cologne must have heard what Zach and Coulson said outside. What Zach heard as soon as he walked in was, "You can help. As far as I know, you have an employee, Cyrus, who is also working part-time."
Zach smiled and sat down opposite the director, "The reason for the conflict must be interests, right?" Zach was explaining why he couldn't help, "You said a very important word, part-time job. If I help As for the construction site, I am only a part-time worker. In the long run, the interests of the people in the South District will be damaged, and they will not thank me. If I help the people in the South District, their short-term benefits from part-time work will definitely be damaged, and they will not Thank me." So it's not that I can't help, it's that I don't want to help.
Colon looked at Zach for a while, nodded, and told a joke, "Only we civil servants can do this kind of thing that is unpalatable to both sides."
Zach chuckled in response, "You want to talk to me about Benjamin?"
"Not urgent."
Look, let me tell you, it's just from the beginning.
Director Cologne seemed to casually flip through the documents in front of him, and then closed the documents as if he was bored, "James Lance is back?" I couldn't wait, "Coulson said you didn't even let him see James. .Why, James is so shameless?"
Don't question it, Zach only allowed Chapman and James, who were sincerely concerned about the safety of their colleagues, to meet, and Darcy didn't even see them.
"Oh, that's not the case." Zach smiled and waved his hand, "I'm just afraid that they will be embarrassed. After all, James is accompanied by Wes. You know, put James, Wes, and Coulson in Together, the atmosphere will inevitably be awkward. Haha, that shitty partnership thing." Do you still remember that shitty thing about James' partnership
Now it seems that Detective Coulson is not just a running companion, a tool to help James gain a foothold in Barton before Weiss, James' real partner, arrives. Wes had made some achievements and had just been promoted to police detective by Cologne. He was brought to the North District by Darcy and placed next to James.
Then Director Cologne and Coulson, who had been used, were all thrown into the South District to retire.
Yes, if you think about it carefully, Cologne is also a tool being used. Look at the North District Police Department. The big boss is Darcy from the West District, and his partner is his comrade Wes. James has a bright future~
Director Cologne looked at Zach again, was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled, "Hehehe... I know." There was a murderous look in the corner of his eyes... "Let's talk about your brother, Benjamin."
Zach was quite surprised that Colon ended the topic of James just like that. Thinking about it, maybe you feel that there is nothing more to say. The facts are already like this. Looking back will not bring satisfaction, it will only make people uncomfortable, so just let yourself go. Quite sensible.
"Okay." Zach adjusted his posture in response. He really didn't know what this topic could develop from, "What's wrong with Benjamin?"
"Benjamin is fine. His office is a bit..." Director Cologne frowned and used a very unprofessional word, "It's an eyesore."
"I believe that our firm has done nothing to cause trouble." Zach raised his eyebrows, saying this was not a guarantee for Benjamin, but a fact that Zach saw. After all, I had already worked with Benjamin on a commission. With Benjamin's 'clean and neat' commissioning style, it was impossible for the human police station to detect any special problems.
"So the word I use is 'eyesore'." Director Cologne waved his hand, "At least your Grande has a funeral home sign, huh, but your real job, you and I both know." Cologne The director was ready to let himself go completely. "I didn't know before. I just thought Grande had the resources and could make things happen. Later, after I knew who you were, there was no need to care, like now. I am more accepting of you." There is also an undertaker's identity on the surface, at least I can tell myself that I was not completely blind before, I just didn't notice what was underneath your superficial identity."
Zach was stunned for a moment, "Are you unhappy that Benjamin is an unemployed vagrant?"
"Yes. Then when I looked at Benjamin, what I saw was a homeless person who left you and had the same resources and rights. He was doing something secretly in this city." Director Cologne looked at Zach. , "And you are right, Benjamin has left Grande for a long time, and I haven't figured out what Benjamin has done secretly. In other words, he hasn't caused any trouble to the police yet." Chief Cologne frowned. , "But that's what makes me unhappy. I'm blind again."
"Haha, don't be like that, Mr. Director." Zach just wanted to laugh, because... Director Cologne is really a bit 'cute', "Benjamin is just doing small things to help the citizens of Barton, you know, the office, Just like Nuo, to put it bluntly, it’s the service industry. Just like at the beginning of the year, I helped James, but Benjamin was more loving. Unlike me, he only helped things that were beneficial to James’ career, such as cases. Benjamin was willing to help more people. , Director, don’t worry about anything~”
That's right.
But these words seemed to make Cologne even more unhappy, "Citizens who need help can call the police. This is why citizens pay taxes! Instead of going to private service agencies suspected of illegality!" and stared at Zach, "And don't think I'm stupid, Although I don’t know what Benjamin did with that ancestor’s office, I still have eyes! The patrol in the South District reported countless times that Benjamin received people from all over Barton! Sometimes people from Newton would come over! "
Wow, we all underestimated the popularity of Zumen Firm.
Zach blinked, "Then, Chief, how can you, um, feel better?" After all, Cologne just said that our firm is a service industry with suspicion of illegality, and Zach cannot be responsible for a police station. The director introduced Benjamin's business content in detail... Tsk, impossible in every sense.
Colon was actually stuck, and then said, "How do I know! Isn't this a problem that you and your brother should figure out! I am the law enforcer, and you are..." The 'violator' did not say anything, and suppressed it with a sullen face.
"Oh." Zach pursed his lips, "Then, our brothers will solve this problem."
Actually, Zach is helpless and expects Benjamin to solve it? No, no, no, it's Zach who does the hard work. Why.
