"Should I be worried?" Zach said to James who had just returned on the back porch at about one or two in the morning, "Should I set a curfew for you or something? Or..." Zach He tilted his head and looked at James, "Find a nanny to follow you. Apex 23S. The fastest update."
"I'm working!" James was about to pass Zach and enter the house.
Zach grabbed him by the collar and carried him back, "You're on vacation."
James shook off Zach's hold, "And you're not my mother." and entered the house.
Zach was stunned for a moment. There were so many people in his life, and James seemed to be the first guy to say such things to Zach... Uh.
James rushed forward and turned on the stairwell light, but Zach turned it off instantly, "Can you please be quieter? Everyone else is sleeping. How about taking care of other people's feelings once in a while?"
James was less active, but he just wasn't used to walking up the stairs in the dark.
Zach didn't help either, hanging on the two steps behind James. It's quite an uncomfortable feeling in the dark. No one wants to have a vampire breathing on their back in the dark.
We know that vampires do not need to breathe, and exhalation means inhalation. As for our vampire, the reason for sniffing behind James is "you have blood on you."
James turned around and glared at Zach, but he frightened himself because he only saw two eyes glowing red in the dark, "What are you doing?!"
"Reject the uncomfortable feeling." Zach answered truthfully, "Because the blood on your body is the blood of the deceased."
Although it was slow, James still managed to reach the second floor in the dark and turned left. Then he was pushed to the right by Zach by his collar and entered the office.
Zach didn't turn on the headlights, pushed James into the seat, and only turned on the desk lamp. He also checked that the curtains facing the backyard were closed before sitting down behind the desk, "You go to the hospital. The smell of blood on your body smells like more than one person." At the same time, he pushed the police information that Wes put here towards James, "Wes has been waiting for you all afternoon, put the things here, and said to come back tomorrow."
James curled his lips and stared at the information pushed in front of him, as if he didn't want to read it.
Zach waited for a while and shook his head helplessly, "Then, have you investigated the murder case in Vega City that I told you?"
"I checked..." James didn't even finish his sentence.
He was interrupted by Zach, "Is there any progress?" He leaned forward against the table, looking eager to know.
James twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "You didn't tell me the truth, right?" He was a little gloomy.
"Oh?" Zach tilted his head, "A fan I don't know who was on the phone with me regularly was murdered. Is there any other truth that I haven't told you?"
"He's not human." James stared at Zach.
"Oh!" Zach's eyes drifted away, "Isn't he human? Oh my god!" Looking at Zach's performance, it was a masterpiece, "I don't know! Did I tell you that I don't know him? I I swear he sounds just like a human on the phone! Ah! I wish there was some way to tell the difference between aliens and humans just by the sound of their voices! Why didn't he tell me he wasn't human! Maybe I would be a little more attracted to him !" He glanced at James sadly, "I will at least ask him what his name is! Oh my god, he called me for so long, I don't even know his name... Poor 'not human' .”
James' face twitched. Well, predictable. "Stop this disgusting show." So straightforward.
Zach stopped and returned to his normal expression, "So, is there any progress?" The question continued. The meaning is to tell James that humans, not humans, do not care about Zach. And James should understand this after having been entangled with Zach for so long.
Just think of it as Zach's new move. Obviously being reasonable has no effect on James, right? Be dramatic.
James did not answer the question, but, "Is this what you are doing to brother Dale? Ignore him because he is human?"
Zach didn't expect that James would think of Dell's brother. It didn't matter, "No, I just don't want to be disturbed. And I believe that my ignoring Dell's brother is what you want, isn't it? I destroy people." Life~" Zach smiled, "Don't go off topic, murder."
James stared at Zach, "I went to Fitz and checked Grande's phone records. I got it, tsk." He tskted irritably, "It lasted for more than half a month, and the call was scheduled at four in the morning. to Grande's phone number." He raised his hand and pointed the desk lamp at Zach, deliberately creating an interrogation situation, and looking straight at him, "What do you think Fitz told me? He said that when you return to Grande Before, Louise had asked him to check the same phone number because Louise didn't know why this sudden, and I quote 'uncomfortable' phone number appeared." The interrogation began with a clear The question started, "You still insist, is this a fan calling you?"
"Hold on~" Zac didn't mind the light shining directly on his face, "You know~ Fans come in all kinds of 'shapes'~ The way they express their 'love' is also weird~" Seriously, Zac There are not many fans of Zach, not to mention Dell's brother, Brian with a split personality, Eli who is the origin of everything, Lutre Sembula who is so obsessed with trying to make another Zach, and Craig Zmi who has been pursuing for a hundred years. Hey, if you want to count all the guys who have "appreciated" Zach's existence, the list would be infinite... "Love" is really weird, "So~ If you give Grande a gift at four o'clock in the morning Making a phone call is an expression of 'love', and I say it is already very 'peaceful'~"
James showed enough professionalism and at least did not overturn the table on the spot. He gritted his teeth and continued the interrogation, "And he was not alone! At four o'clock in the morning on the first day you came back, you used this phone to call Grande. Man, you have changed once! Don’t tell you that you can’t even tell that your fans’ voices have changed!”
Zach would actually tell James the real reason why the phone call happened. He deliberately concealed the information about the alien race at first, but he was just too lazy to distract James. Everyone must understand that Zach has said a lot about the coexistence of alien races and humans in a society, and he really does not want to continue having such a conversation with James.
As for now, it's half Zach's bad taste and half Zach's curiosity, "Okay, I have to admit, I did find a change in style before and after the phone call." There is no logic but whimsical abuse and only repetition' x Your whole family' style change, "But as I said just now, I really don't know much about the caller, and I don't want to make any assumptions." He looked at James with a smile, "How do you know this?"
"I contacted the police station in Vega." The interrogation was over. The interrogator began to answer the interrogator's questions, "Vega Police Department considered the relevance of the incident, so they shared some information with me!"
"For example?" Zach asked.
James looked away, "First, tell me what this phone call is all about." Well, the interrogation continued, but the technique changed.
"Haha. If it would make you feel better, I wasn't going to hide it from you~" Zach smiled, "It was Lutrecenbra who hired the aliens to call Grande regularly and curse me. It's disgusting. I."
"What?"
"I've told you Lutresembra knows my true attitude towards the Sabbat. Why can't Oz return to the Sabbat?" Zach's hand shook his head. "Use your brain, James." . Then, this is the result, Root couldn’t do anything to me, so he used this disgusting way to disturb my life.”
James reacted with a strange expression on his face for a long time, "You said that when you heard the murder on the phone, the other party was scolding you?"
"uh-huh."
James frowned and looked at Zach, seemingly sizing him up, but his eyes did not move in any way.
Zach waited for a while and then spoke, "This does not change the fact that I heard the murder of the other party. James, now is not the time for you to re-judge my character, although my character has never changed. James Ms., focus." Zach, you are more to the point.
James' lips twitched, "This case of aliens being killed occurred more than once in Vega." Without looking at Zach, "The Vega police discovered that the victims had something in common. The murdered aliens all had human beings." The interracial person with child custody. The interracial person you heard about, has a son at home..." James lowered his head, his face... we couldn't see it.
We heard it on the phone, so don't act surprised.
Zach didn't care to pay attention to James's expression, "So the Vega police already knew about these murders?" What Zach was thinking was that it seemed that the Vega police really didn't like the vampire who had taken over the privileges, Lutresen Even though Bula is the mayor, he actually doesn't know about the death of his employer.
"They know, and they know from the testimony of the victim's family, that the victim you heard just started making the early morning phone call not long ago, and in the phone record Fitz gave, the call never stopped, so I know Someone changed during this call..."
This was supposed to be a moment for James to show off his reasoning abilities, but was ignored by Zach, who had to notice James' wording, victim. Zach looked at James, prepared not to irritate James' gentle advances, "In the view of the police in Vega City, these murdered aliens are victims?"
James looked up at Zach, "Yes, alien, a victim!" James was also sensitive, "You are happy that such words come out of my mouth!"
Zach didn't have the frustration of having the problem he wanted to show revealed, "What's wrong with you? James! Someone died, a young child lost his family, do you want me to be happy?"
James turned away with a sullen face. You can see that James' whole body is tense.
Zach waved his hand and let James go. "You said that the reason why the Vega police gave you the information was exchange. I guess..." Zach thought for a while, "Aside from having the custody of human children in common, Vega police, there are no other clues to advance the case, right? I..." Zach knocked on the table, signaling James to come back to his senses, "I am the only witness who can be counted as an 'eyewitness'. This is your Information for Vega police.”
James didn't reply and ravaged his fists with all his heart.
"I could recount what I heard on the phone. But, I don't think it would be any help." Zach shook his head. Zach said the reality, "Technology is not very friendly to the ability of alien races."
James still didn't speak, and he didn't know if it was down or something.
Zach was not ready to let James go to rest, so he started a new topic, "You went to the hospital, and the smell of the blood of the dead is still there on your body. I guess I guess the reason why you went to the hospital, or you just tell me directly I."
"Do you need to guess?" This was sarcastic, James' eyes scratched Zach's face.
"Of course you have to guess. I can naively think that you went to the psychiatry department of the hospital to check your brain. After all, your spirit has been hit and you need to recover. I can also realistically speculate that you went to the hospital to visit organ donors. incident, you can't let go of those slanders against your father, General Lance. So, which one do you want me to guess? Naive or practical? "
Did someone tell Zach that the way he talks is very annoying? I think at some point, someone said that. But guess what, the man died and Zach lived forever.
James began to take a deep breath. We already know the answer don’t we.
"I sat in on two of Derek's surgeries, the harvest surgeries."
Zach frowned, two more happened
"A farmer from the Southern District." He glanced at Zach and said, "Do you know that there was a disgusting fight at your new port construction site in the Southern District."
Zach felt that it was better not to acknowledge the direction of this conversation. So, I didn't speak.
"This farmer's family obviously didn't know what organ donation was, but after being persuaded by a bunch of doctors, they agreed to donate their organs to help others live. Then, I saw it, on the operating table..." James took a deep breath again Once, "There's nothing left."
Zach didn't want to talk. There is another one.
"The other one was a patient who was in the hospital and had already signed the organ donation documents. When 'that' happened, I saw his family begging the doctor not to take away their loved one's body." James' tone He began to calm down, which was an emotion many times worse than excitement. "But the law is the law, and the operation was still carried out."
Nothing left? Well, no. james
"The patient's internal organs were abandoned because his original disease could not match the healthy organ indicators. The surgery took away everything that could be taken away. Derek." James glanced at Zach, " The reason for doing this operation is just because they need the guy to be alive until the end of the operation, to keep anything that can be taken out of his body... fresh."
James could have chosen to use more objective words, but hey, he's not a doctor.
James held his head, "My father is stealing, no, robbing organs..."
Zach walked around the desk. Now, there seemed to be nothing else to do except pat James on the shoulder.
