Pochquin had a choice to make. He stayed at the party that did not invite him to get the news that Papa sent him to get at midnight, and went to save a funeral home with Zach and James. . Vertex 23S. Fastest update
He chose the former. A reasonable but wrong choice. If Zach misunderstood why Poch was here, Harrison was even less likely to misunderstand. Without Zach's explanation, Harrison would never say a word to Porky again!
Louise stayed behind. It seemed that there would be follow-up activities on the alien side, so Zach didn't ask much.
On the way to Ford, James drove the car. Zach originally planned to carry James on his back and solve the problem quickly, but James didn't want to enjoy the spring rain with Zach...
The trip was lengthened, and Zach calmed down James on the road: "Calm down, you understand that you can't take this matter back to the police station, we can only handle it secretly. The resurrection of the corpse in the funeral home, this kind of Things can cause panic.”
James was bound to resist Zach's reasoning, "Are you saying that the resurrection of chopped corpses will cause panic?"
What Harrison has there are not whole bodies, right? They are all cut parts. In fact, this was not because Harrison was unwilling to hide the whole body at home, but because of his food channels. It was impossible for the people at the funeral home to sell the whole body to Harrison. There must always be something left for the incinerator to burn. Well, to put it in writing, there must always be something that goes into the normal corpse disposal process and is included in the accounts of the funeral home, right
So what James said is easy to understand. The resurrected 'corpse' is not complete.
Zach did not deny this, but said, "Think about it, James, what kind of person would be sent to a funeral home in this situation." Zach shook his head, what he meant was, " This is a person who no one wants to waste resources to confirm whether he is really dead, so don’t let this kind of person cause a disturbance in society.”
We know the effect of 'Xiaobai'. After taking it, the body will be in a state of death, all physiological functions will stop, and the soul will enter a state about to leave the body. But the life of the body stops, and stopping does not mean continuing to move toward death, right
I remember that when Zach confirmed the death of his secretary Gina to Mayor Anthony, he asked Anthony whether Gina's body had become cold or smelly... These questions were about the progress of the murder.
According to the conclusion we have reached before, 'Xiaobai' makes human beings lose the accurate judgment of death. This is applicable to most people. After all, when ordinary people confirm that a person's breathing and heartbeat are gone, they will think that that is A corpse. But this is not enough for people with professional orientation and resources. For example, police coroners are required to determine the reasons why a body became a corpse. This means that such people will inevitably find his dismembered body, and there is no body. Well, this matter has already been in the news.
But the fact is that no, the body that could appear on the news not only did not appear on the news, but was also decomposed and put into Harrison's freezer.
What conclusion can we draw from this
Conclusion No one cares about these 'bodies'.
died? Send it to the funeral home and burn it quickly.
James' face darkened, he knew what Zach said made sense. But still, there is still something worth paying attention to, "I at least want to confirm who sent these 'bodies' to Ford's funeral!"
Zach agreed with James on this point, after all, Ford Funeral Home was just the recipient of the body. If someone or a certain force in Barton is 'creating' this kind of 'corpse' that can cause panic in society, Zach also wants to know who it is.
That's why Zach and James are now going to Ford's funeral. No matter what the truth is, Zach needs his friends in the Barton funeral industry to stay away from this kind of trouble. Save Ford Funeral Home.
Not completely driving into the Ford Funeral Home, James parked a street away.
Someone will come to meet them.
I don’t know if you still remember Harrison’s previous food channel, a reminder, a human who sold his soul to the devil.
Yes, the humans who have signed a devil's contract with Wales, those who do nothing in this life and place their hope in the world after death, are speculators just like our former civil servant Wales.
There is no need to have a contemptuous attitude toward such people. In the world, there are "good people" like Zach who everyone 'needs' and who have to do everything by themselves, and there is this kind of person who everyone has no feelings for and lives without hope to get away with it. Inexplicable things exist. Without them, Harrison would starve to death.
As soon as they got out of the car, Zach and James saw a guy holding his shoulders on the street corner to keep himself warm and shelter from the rain. He waved impatiently, asking Zach and James to speed up.
Zach held down James who was about to explode, "Relax, you caught this guy who illegally sells body parts, and Harrison will go to the street to look for food. You don't want this to happen."
James took a deep breath. On a rainy night, the air is slightly cooler.
"What's going on!" Neither Zach nor James spoke. This guy spoke first, irritably.
Because both Zach and James would ask each other's name...at least Zach didn't bother to ask, and for the sake of ensuring Harrison's future food, James wouldn't let James get any of this guy's personal information. So, let's just give this guy a codename.
Well, this guy is a little short, so let’s call him dwarf.
"Harrison said there's something wrong with the corpse! Tsk! What a trouble! What's wrong with the corpse! Doesn't he like to eat limbs? How many times have I told you that I won't dissect a corpse and get his internal organs for him!"
It seems we accidentally acquired Harrison food preferences. What a useful information! ! !
"Continue to take a deep breath." Zach first told James, and then looked at the dwarf, "Those people are alive." Now that he knew that the other party was a human with one foot in the soul of an alien demon, Zach was not prepared to whitewash anything.
"Alive?" First there was question, then anger, "You're alive!" Still angry, "They were all sent to us (Ford Funeral Home), can they be alive!!"
The world is like this. Once a cause and effect is taken for granted, people often put the cart before the horse and use the result as the cause and as the truth.
Zach raised his hand and gestured in the direction of the funeral home, "Why are you yelling at me?" Grief? No, I was too lazy to reason with the other party, "Take us there, you can watch from the side."
The short man clicked his tongue, rubbed his arm quickly, and walked in front to lead the way.
"First tell me where those corpses came from!" James tried his best to suppress his emotions, but the air was too cold and the effect was very poor.
"How do I know..." When he turned around and met James' ferocious eyes, the dwarf changed his mind, "It's just the usual channels, civilians, hospitals, police..."
"Impossible!" Of course James gave the last example and provoked him, "If the police station collects the body, I will know about it!" After all, the identity of the homicide detective is there. James' anger was naturally combined with what Zach said that if these corpses had entered the police station, then the police department had obviously failed in its responsibility and failed to investigate the reasons why the corpses became corpses. The coroner's example, right
Probably it was James' words that reminded the dwarf that it was better to use his attitude in front of James. He pursed his lips and said, "I didn't say it must be the police station, it could be a civilian or a hospital or something."
"Maybe it's a hospital." Zach interjected, "Harrison's reserve of living 'cadaver parts' comes from at least a dozen corpses. Hospitals often process anonymous corpses in batches. The hospitals in Grande and South District are There is such a contract.”
James disagreed, "How can the hospital dispose of corpses casually! Even if it is Anonymous..." Anonymous means that no one is willing to pay the hospital to do an autopsy. The same situation no one cares about, "The hospital will use it for research and teaching." …”
Zach interrupted directly, "This is Barton, a small city with a history of only fifty years. Barton's hospital is not a teaching or research hospital." To put it more bluntly, Barton's hospital is just bad! But Zach wouldn’t say that. The sense of citizen honor, “For Barton Hospital, where anonymous corpses are often homeless people and terminally ill poor patients, these corpses are medical waste.” Zach added, “Don’t Fight this with me, a funeral director who has been dealing with this kind of medical waste for seven or eight years."
James shut up.
Chapo understood the situation and glanced at Zach, "I can confirm the source of the body, but this is not the scope of my job. I have to go to Ford's office to check the records..." He frowned, "I will need help. .”
Zach nodded and didn't take it seriously. Zach was familiar with the Ford Funeral Home. After all, it was a frequent visitor. However, Zach looked at the approaching Ford Funeral Home and looked at the time, "Why are there still lights inside?"
It's about nine o'clock in the evening. It was well past the opening hours of the funeral home.
The short man curled his lips and answered, "It's not because you came here once in the afternoon. The boss was sorting out the asset list and preparing insurance."
Zach was a little relieved. It seemed that Ford had listened to his advice.
But Chaizi went on to say, "My boss has been working overtime during this period and often doesn't leave until midnight." It seemed to be a complaint, with a hint of hope, "This time the insurance matter is finished, we should finally be able to return to normal. , My..." He glanced at James, "'work' will be much easier."
You know what the job in quotation marks refers to? It’s not a normal job in the funeral industry.
But please don't compare Ford's work intensity with Zach's. To Mr. Ford, it's too... cruel.
Zach responded quickly and held down James, "I can directly use my vampire method to make Ford forget our past, or we can use human methods. James, you go and lure Ford away, what do you say?" Sample."
Give James something to do so he won't make any noise. James, who is also easy to control, chose the latter. This is another kind of amazing reliability, which is actually quite rare.
Getting closer, Zach frowned and said, "There are other people in Ford's office." Zach sped up a little, but the light but dense sound of rain affected Zach's hearing. As you all know, at the beginning of this story, we know that Zach hates this kind of weather. Sensory numbness.
"Probably the accountant." The short man waved his hand, "The boss often asks him to work overtime together."
Oh, this is something we have known for a long time.
Zach didn't pay much attention to it, because he thought it was reasonable to insure his assets, let his accountant work together, and estimate the value of his assets before the insurance company came to review it.
James and Zach separated. James had already thought of a way to lure Ford away and went directly to the main entrance. Zach and Chapo started walking around to the morgue at Chapo's signal.
Zach has actually thought about how to deal with these mutilated 'corpses'. Don't worry, it's not killing. They all brought James here. If Zach wants to kill him, he is asking for trouble.
Zach would 'resurrect' them and then hand them over to Wes as secret witnesses in the 'Baby' case.
Isn't James just a little worried that Wes's work is getting further and further apart? This should give James a chance to ease the increasingly estranged partnership.
"Throw me over." The short man stood behind a wall and asked Zach, "Be gentle."
Zach did as he was told and turned over himself. The two of them were already standing at the back of the morgue.
The dwarf looked around cautiously. It was completely unnecessary. Zach still had his senses after confirming that no one was around. One was sneaky, the other was honest, and the two entered the morgue.
Ford's morgue was much larger than Grande's, a bit like a basement morgue in a mill. Rows of freezers filled the place with a cold atmosphere.
The short man knew his direction very well and led Zach towards a row of freezers. "This area is the 'body' for Harrison." He gestured to a range that included about a dozen freezer doors. "Fortunately, I remember that tattoo, hey, otherwise I’d have to look for it for a long time!” This was a simple complaint. Zach didn’t answer and opened a cabinet door.
Sure enough, the soul is trapped in the mutilated body, unable to get out or go back.
Zach opened a few more doors, all in the same situation.
This scene was actually a bit...spectacular to Zach.
We know that the opportunity for a vampire to create descendants is fleeting. After a vampire finds his beloved descendant, all he has to do is seize this short opportunity to create his own child. Now, Zach is facing a dozen people.
Imagine the pressure you feel when a row of pregnant women stand in front of you with their bellies bulging. Weird analogy, but it feels the same. How Zach feels now.
"Hey! Don't be in a daze! Do what you want to do!" The dwarf pushed Zach, "You said these people are alive! Let me see!" He actually wanted to see this the most, haha.
Zach was satisfied with the other person, stretched out his hand, and directly inserted a palm into a 'corpse' that exuded cold air. The same action as when proving to Pochi.
El Chapo's reaction was faster than Poch's. It is understandable that humans who will become demons in the future will naturally be more sensitive to the characteristics of vampires.
"Oh, my God..." The short man was actually frightened, and his voice began to tremble, "You, please hurry up! I, I don't want to stay in this place anymore!!"
Ugh, this guy is actually afraid of living people. He deserves to be called a person who sold his soul to the devil, tsk.
Zach pouted, "Do you have a car? I need transportation."
Zack wouldn't 'resurrect' these people now, and neither could Zack. Now giving the 'corpses' their own blood to heal cuts and frostbite is not to save people, but to induce labor for a row of pregnant women.
"I have a car..."
There was gunfire from across the office.
In the rainy night, it was extremely clear.
