In the afternoon, when I was taking Ford back to the North District, Zach stopped by and went to court~
Grande's lawsuit is no longer worthy of being placed on Zach's schedule. It is purely a trivial matter. The reason will not be explained (Volume 9 Lawyer Harvey). Vertex 23S. Fastest update
On Ford's side, Zach explained something. With Andrew's help, one of the 'corpses' was resurrected, so there was one less 'corpse' recovered by Ford. Zack's advice to Ford was to pretend not to know. In addition, most of the corpses at Ford's funeral were missing arms and legs due to the transaction between employees Chapo and Harrison. It is only reasonable for Ford to remain unaware of such things. This pot was thrown into the hands of the Ford funeral staff, and it was used as a smoke bomb to confuse the "Xiaobai" gang.
As for the person who was resurrected, Zach still left it to Wes. By keeping the identity of the 'witness' secret, Zach felt he could trust the police. An unexpected bonus was that Wes couldn't get rid of James. James decided to devote himself to the 'Xiao Bai' case from now on. James' heart is very simple. For the sake of the overall situation, he couldn't stop Wes's plan, but if he could reduce some innocent harm, he would do his best.
After returning to Grande, Zach's job went back to what he said at the beginning of the day, babysitting and hosting.
After taking a nap, Andrew got up to make up for his lunch without vegetables, and then sat on the bench to chat with Frank, who didn't know when he would be back.
Zach listened for a while, and Frank was actually talking about the battle between werewolves and vampires four centuries ago:
"In the beginning, our understanding of werewolves was almost based on the accumulation of Zmich's ashes (vampire corpses). We only learned at a terrible cost that we cannot heal the wounds caused by werewolves."
Zach felt that he could not participate in this topic and do it justice.
Remember, Frank was wrong. The credit for understanding werewolves cannot be attributed to Zmich. Even if they lost a large number of tribesmen, it would be a simple gift, which is meaningless. The real understanding of what a werewolf is is through Zach creating a descendant of Indians. Do you remember the descendant who committed suicide in front of Zach, causing Zach to have a shadow of witchcraft
So Zach did not participate in the conversation between the really young and the really old man, and went to the living area to tell old Hank the good news.
"Grande's lawsuit is over." Zach didn't find Old Hank. Maybe the old man went to the cemetery to visit, and he randomly picked up someone and told him, "The plaintiff's family is currently facing an investigation of intentional homicide by the police, and they have no time to continue the lawsuit. Grande, the opposing lawyer has made the decision to reach an out-of-court agreement, and let Old Hank go to Harvey Law Firm tomorrow morning to negotiate an agreement."
The guy caught by Zach felt as if he had seen a ghost. He nodded and ran away instantly, fearing that he would spend one more second with Zach.
An unexpected sense of accomplishment. Wherever Zach went, everyone was afraid to dodge.
Now that the movement was so smooth, Zach decided to go to Old Hank's room to see if the old man had accepted his suggestion and stopped his self-destructive exercise method.
The results were quite satisfactory, with all the normal exercise equipment missing, but the hormonal drugs in the medicine cabinet had all disappeared.
Zach inked in Old Hank's room for a while, preparing to go back to the Grand's back porch to see if the conversation there had been changed to something he could participate in.
The phone rang, in the common space of the living area.
Zach didn't intend to pay attention and walked past at his usual pace. Anyway, the call here probably had nothing to do with Grande.
On the back porch, Andrew and Frank's conversation progresses, but it's still about werewolves.
Andrew seemed a little confused about the werewolves described by Frank: "The werewolves you mentioned are all the first generation Alphas. With so many Alphas together, wouldn't they fight with each other? Whose orders do they listen to?"
Frank's answer was: "No, they listen to the orders of the wizards behind them. Werewolves who fight with Alpha skin on non-full moon nights will occasionally listen to the Indians who are not wizards, raid vampire strongholds, and liberate our prisoners of war." On a full moon night, the wolf-bodied Alphas don’t need anyone to give them orders, they kill everything they see.”
This is a topic that Zach can participate in, "Dora of Nophele once told me that even the Alpha in wolf form will obey orders, Papa Midnight."
"What did Nofele say?" Frank glanced at Zach, "That's probably the truth. Those ugly people who peek into secrets in the dark can always get some information that others don't know~" This was to praise Nofele. Bar…
"I've seen it with my own eyes." Zach glanced at the center of the backyard, "Rivenci is here in Grand's backyard, and he obeyed Papa Midnight's order..."
Before Zach could finish speaking, Frank asked, "Who is Ravenci?" When he came out, the phone in the office rang, and Zach went to answer the phone.
As soon as I picked up the receiver, "Where are the people in the living area?" The grumpy voice was Evan.
Zach reacted, uh, was the call he just ignored in the living area the same as Evan's, "Hi, Evan." It was a polite greeting that was forced out without words. Apparently, Zach's request for 'Bishop' was taken as a Despite hearing the news, Evan still called Grande.
"Hey you*!" Grumpy, "Where is that old man Hank?!"
"I don't know." This is the truth. Old Hank being in the cemetery is just Zach's guess. Does Zach need to tell Evan his guess
"Don't you know where your own family members are?!" He continued to be irritable.
Zach was a little surprised, "Have you always thought that old Hank is my family?"
"Otherwise, why would you have killed this old guy who wanted you to get out! Anyway, you can easily do it and get away, can't you!!" What a... Sufficient reason. The logic of this is that even if he doesn't know Zach's true race, Evan knows very well that Zach can do whatever he wants in this city. The only reason why Zach can't do whatever he wants is... everyone understands.
Zach didn't like the topic of 'killing'. It would make him tired to understand the thinking of a beautiful bad guy. "Are you okay?"
"*!" Continuing to be irritable, I made a malicious guess that either Evan was completely satisfied in some aspects, which made him feel completely excited, or he was completely unsatisfied in some aspects, and his mood was completely... depressed. It wouldn’t be a good thing anyway, “Yes!*!” He kept swearing, “I don’t care! I’ll do the same to you!”
Zach regretted asking, Zach really didn't want to do anything for Evan anymore.
"I want Joe's body! The Ford undertaker won't give it to me!"
The corner of Zach's mouth twitched, and he didn't want to ask why, because he guessed that Evan, who was pursuing Joe's murder case with the help of the 'Bishop' legal team, wanted Joe's body for what other reason, and put it as a decoration in his home? . Tsk.
Zach's response was, "Whatever you want me to do for you, I'm sorry, I can't help you."
"Humph." The person on the other side of the receiver suddenly became calmer. It was because his irritability had subsided, not because his tone was calm. You can feel the tone for yourself, "Reject me? Believe it or not, I will go to the media to expose Grande."
"Reveal what?" Being threatened? Zach was a little curious.
"Do you know what my biggest gain in Bishop is?" Oh, isn't it his own closeted a**? "It's about you! My former boss, Mr. Zachary Grande! You know old man Gram is considered a legend in prison, haha, a retired legend." The word "retirement" was emphasized, "But you, haha, former boss, Grande suddenly became rich this year because of you!"
Zach didn’t listen too much to this statement about Zach being the soul of Grande now, and he didn’t even feel it anymore, “Then what?”
"I used to think that your relationship with Barton, a powerful figure in the city, was unusual. Haha, I didn't expect it to be so unusual. Did you know that half of the topics in Bishop Manor were about you? My former boss, you What did you do for Quinn? What did you do for Smith? What did you do for Patton? What did you do for Fisher? What did you do for Falcon..." This enumeration filled the West Enders' list.
Zach still said, "Then what?" Make your threat more specific. Do you expect me to be shy enough to give in when you praise me so highly
Here comes, "Isn't it surprising that people like you don't dare to stand in front of others, my former boss!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, already understanding that he was being threatened, but he had to be careful, "Did I cover my face in front of you when you were still a Grand employee?"
"No, but why are you so afraid of reporters filming you? Do you think I don't know? Reporters have come to Grande many times, and you either hide away or leave in anger (this is probably James' daughter) Friend Kate)!" Evan himself jumped to the conclusion, "You think I care about why you are hiding from the media, I only need to know a little bit! You are just afraid! Humph! You! Just! Afraid!" I want to emphasize, It felt like the topic that Evan was holding over there had been drowned by the spit, so he continued, "Give me Joe's body! Otherwise this time, I will make you scared!"
Zach was about to say something, but the receiver turned into a hang-up beep after a huge 'pop' sound.
Zach frowned, thought for a moment, and dialed Ford's phone number.
"It's me. I have something to discuss with you..." He didn't finish.
Ford interrupted, a little impatiently, "What's the matter? I'm busy!" Of course, he was busy, so Ford recovered the body. All signs that might arouse the suspicion of the 'Xiaobai' gang also needed to be covered up. From the employees' side Also need to be informed.
"There was a case at the North District Police Station before. A corpse should have been sent to you, named Qiao xx."
Ford on the receiver was more direct, "Just now someone from Bishop came to ask for the body??"
"Just what happened just now?" Zach was lamenting that he had missed it. In fact, it wasn't that Zach missed it, it was Zach who came out of the court and went back to Grande on his own, and Zach's lawyer, yes, the lawyer who hugged Bishop's thigh, happily went to hug Bishop's thigh.
"Yes." He said impatiently, "So what's your situation? You're helping the North District Police Department handle the case (Weis's 'Xiao Bai' case), and you're helping Bishop behind. You're busy enough." This is It's sarcastic, but not malicious. It's a lament that life is unfair... No, it means more that biological life is unfair.
Zach stopped defending, "Then give the body to Bishop. Everyone has hired a lawyer. It's only time to get the seizure warrant..." Zach didn't finish his words.
"I can't give it to you." Ford said simply.
"Already burned?" Zach asked the most likely reason.
"Tsk, this kind of person who died in an emergency will not be able to contact his family for a while. Why should I burn it in a hurry? Who will pay for it!" Uh...
Speaking of which, Zach also went to Joe's house. If it weren't for the lack of family members, it wouldn't have been collected by the city government.
Zach had a bad premonition, "Qiao's body is already incomplete, right?"
The receiver was silent for a while, then confirmed, "Yes! That damn dwarf sold the whole leg of the corpse! How do you want me to hand it over! If you compare it with the police autopsy report, you will know that there is something missing from the corpse. !*!" Ford broke out, which was wonderful enough. He didn't break out when he almost died, didn't break out when he watched Zach resurrect the 'corpse', and didn't break out when he became the target of a dispute between two police detectives in Grandry. At this time, it broke out.
"Ford, relax, I'll figure something out."
Ford's outbreak came suddenly and went away...so quickly that I felt really relaxed. Wait a moment, it seems that he is either relaxed or calm, completely calm, "Well, then you can find a way." Then, he hangs up directly to Zach.
Zach... After he finished speaking, he heard the hang-up tone again.
Zach held the receiver and was stunned for a long time. He shook his head helplessly and dialed again, calling back to Bishop Manor. But this time Zach wasn't calling Evan, he was calling 'Bishop' or seductress Riley, whichever one would do.
It was Riley who answered the phone, "Bishop." A simple opening.
Zach first said what he thought was a higher priority, "Evan just called me here again. This kind of thing needs to stop."
"Oh." Riley responded softly.
Why. Zach felt that he couldn't count on it, so let's get to the point, "In Joe's case, is it possible for you to give up on collecting Joe's body and only use the police autopsy report?"
"Why." Simple~
"Parts of Joe's body were sold and re-investigating the body would only cause trouble."
"Sold." Riley's conversational approach seemed to consist of repeating key words.
"In Harrison's stomach." Zach directly gave the conclusion.
"Trouble." Keywords.
"So you agreed? Stop asking lawyers to go to Ford's funeral?"
"agree."
Zach couldn't tell for a moment whether it was Riley repeating key words or answering.
"Riley? Can you be more serious?"
"cannot."
Zach vaguely heard Riley over there making a sound that didn't fit the topic of the conversation... "What are you doing?" Zach asked.
A deep breath, like a complaint of dissatisfaction, "Zach, I am admiring 'Bishop' punishing Evan~ Do you know what punishment is? It is the reward that people receive when they do something wrong. '~And this time, it was Evan who violated our orders and called Grande. You want us to punish him properly, right~"
Zach's face...twitched a little.
"So~ don't disturb the punishment that we all enjoy, okay~ be good~" hung up.
Keywords, enjoyed by all.
When he dialed to go to Ford again, Zach was a little tired and said, "Burn it, I'll pay for it." The people in Bishop Manor were unreliable.
