While the aliens on Zach's side are seeking to provide the Newton police with a case that can perfectly intervene so that Newton's future will not be a tattered bag, on the other side, two police detectives from Barton are also working on Same thing.
A seafood canning factory that was supposed to usher in major reform and development suddenly suffered the death of its director. And, this blow is not over yet.
The motive of the case has been confirmed - while others are moving forward, someone is left behind. Instead of chasing, someone decided to eliminate those who were ahead. Don't use any distortion of human nature to define it, be sincere, this is human nature.
You haven't seen the sheep at the tail of the crane sniping the leader, right? You haven't seen the leaves in the crown of the tree being strangled by the branches below, right? Only intelligent humans do this~
I was being sarcastic, sorry.
Two things that happened in this city - the alien Newton University project and Detective Barton's cannery - were outsiders' unsolicited aid when the city's law enforcers were unable to do the jobs they were assigned to do. . But the meaning I understand from these things is really not optimistic. Bear with me a little—
Detectives Barton, James and Wes at least figured out the motive behind the cannery employee, the middle-aged Martin, entrusting the Phantom Man to commit murder. The vampires at Newton University don't know why antisocial elements rebel against this society. Barton gets one point for the detective and one point for the vampire.
The vampires at Newton University have truly grasped the criminal's actions, the pictures provided by Hughes, and the desires provided by the phantom, and can learn about current events to help anti-social elements attack every process of social action. But Barton's detectives will never be able to grasp Martin's actions, because the person who will commit criminal acts is not Martin himself, but an illusion that is beyond the capabilities of Barton's two detectives. One point for the vampire, one point for Barton's detective.
A group of human anti-social elements hate this society, so they decided to attack the most important project of the city government and are taking action. However, all their actions are controlled by a few inhumans who actively live among humans. No one scores points, one point is deducted from society that is not accepted by some human beings and is controlled by the mixed 'foreign objects'.
A small citizen who lags behind the social process and therefore decides to seek help from non-human forces to stifle the advancers, and has already succeeded once, is now trying to sanction him, but it is not the law enforcers of this society, but two people who have no law enforcement here. The right detective. No one scores points, it is not accepted by some human beings, and one point is deducted from the society dominated by the mixed 'foreign objects'.
Keep track of the total score. Zero, zero, negative two.
Outside the Newton Police Station, two of Barton's detectives were having final discussions. It's actually a quarrel and we should listen to it. After all, we spent almost a day paying attention to Zach and the new descendants. We didn’t follow what the two detectives were doing. After all, they were people who came out of Barton together. Let’s pay attention to what they did during the day—
"We can't directly reveal Richie's office!" Wes said firmly, "It's meaningless! The police can't find any murder-related clues from Richie! Even we don't know how Richie killed someone in the fish market. People! Telling the police in Newton will only make them think we are causing trouble again!"
James is not determined, but that does not mean that he is not determined. His dominant emotion now is manic-depressive, let alone manic. When has he not been manic? Yuma—"Then we have no case to report to the Newton police!" He waved the report they compiled in his hand, "We know that Martin asked Rich to kill people, and we also know that Martin asked Rich to continue killing people! But all the support for a murder case rests on the commission of Ritchie! If we name Ritchie’s involvement, we have no case!”
"We have it!" Weiss remained determined and snatched the report from James' hand - by the way, this report was obviously not formal and had not been bound. Papers full of words were scattered messily with paper clips. There was no header of Newton Police Department or Patton Police Department, but paper supplied by the hotel, with fancy headers and lintels. Exuding a faint fragrance... "Financial report!" Weiss said in order to explain his theoretical support, "Martin is not rich! And we also obtained from the workers' testimony that all employees who did not sign the new production line training were fired according to the agreement! In In this harsh economic situation, Martin has made several huge donation expenditures!”
Don’t ask questions yet, watch first.
Wes threw a copy of an intercepted financial statement with Barton's logo from the report in front of James. The above shows... Everyone should pay attention, this information is quite important -
A division of Barton's Quest Group, called Cooperative Compensation Advances, made three consecutive disbursements of donations to an unknown organization in Newtown over three days. The recipient of the donation is the Harmony Newton Foundation.
Since it was Barton's company that advanced money to the employees of Newton's company, under the accounts, the applicant for the advance to be disbursed was marked by Martin.
You see, meeting our Barton acquaintance Mr. Quest in the cannery where Martin worked was the best thing James did in Newton. With Quest eager to rid himself of possible criminal charges, Barton's controlling maniac provides James and Wes with detailed assistance!
It can be compared. The three payments made by Martin were the deposit and balance payment for the first entrustment, as well as the deposit for the new entrustment.
That's exactly what James wanted to say, grabbing the copy and staring at Wes, "This is where Rich laundered money for his firm! You're helping me prove that we have to tell the Newtown Police Department about Rich The presence!"
Wes curled his lips, "Why can't your mind turn around! Our goal is to use the Newton Police Department to suppress Richie, but is there any point in letting the Newton Police Department know about Richie's affairs?!" Grabbing James held the copy's hand and slapped it rudely in James' face. It was because he was too helpless that his partner was trying to get into trouble, "Can the police suppress Richie's office?" Staring at James who was blushing while avoiding his partner's attack, "You managed to suppress Richie once by luck, now it's time to start Are you floating?" It was talking about the "accidental" incident in which James used the grievance of being "bullied" by Zach for a long time to instantly break through the fantasy man's defense and obtain Martin's information. "Do you think everyone has the ability to make a person Is it possible for a fantasy person to do things according to one’s own will?!”
James had a gloomy face the color of liver and said nothing.
Wes also let go, closed his mouth, widened his nostrils and took a deep breath to calm down, "What the hell is this foundation? But it is under the control of the Newton Police Department! Do you understand! This is a foundation controlled by the Newton Police Department." The only way to randomly accept the entrusted phantom!"
If you can't block the input end, just squat on the output end. Simple truth.
James was sullen and quiet for a while, looking at the tired and impatient Newton policeman coming in and out of the car window without saying a word.
Weiss adjusted his mood again, "We don't even have to tell the Newton Police Department about Martin's case!" He twitched his lips, "Quest is our company in Barton, and we are responsible for our financial expenses because of the companies in our city. If you have any questions, investigate in Newton!”
James tilted his head. If Wes wasn't his friend, what he said next would have been, 'If you hadn't offended the Newton Police Department, would we have to go through such a curve to save the country? 'The taunt.
No explanation needed. If James and Wes used the fish market case as an entry point to talk to the Newton Police Department, huh, would anyone take notice
However, Wes was James' only friend after all. He did not continue to ridicule James and analyzed his thoughts seriously, "So for the Newton Police Department, they must receive us and listen to us! Because we are no longer the unnatural death case consultants they don’t want, but Barton’s law enforcers! What we are investigating is a case related to Barton’s corporate interests. As our positioning changes, they are the ones who must cooperate!”
James still didn't speak, but you could hear his breathing, muffled.
Weiss continued, "It's very 'coincident.'" The quotation marks are to restore Weiss's emphasis, "Coincidence! We found that the money spent by Barton's Quest Enterprise is related to the unnatural cases in the aquatic product market! The person who made the advance payment was an employee of the deceased!" Then Weiss picked up the other scattered reports, "Then our investigation revealed the situation of the superiors and subordinates in the cannery! Finally!" emphasized again, "We found out The possible motive that led to the cannery owner’s death! For the first time, an independent incident in Newton’s unnatural death case has been given clues that the police can move forward with!”
All the informal reports with the quiet fragrance of the hotel were thrown at James, "That's it! We have a case that we can handle!" This forced James to admit, "I, Wes, am right, and You James are wrong! '
James was still silent.
The corner of Wes's mouth twitched, and he turned sideways forcefully, deliberately pushing James' body to forcefully pull out James' seat belt, then opened the door and pushed James down.
It doesn't matter whether James admits his mistake or not, Weiss doesn't care what James's opinion is, this is what will happen next.
Wes also got out of the car and led the way into the Newton Police Station.
The sky has completely darkened. Although the artificial light sources indoors can easily make people forget the natural forces that truly dominate the world, everyone in the Newton Police Department still knows the time.
On their faces, except for James who was outside the police station just now, he saw fatigue and impatience - the police force of the Newton Police Department has been operating at maximum capacity for a long time. Please understand. James and Wes also saw the panic that appeared on the faces of every Newton police officer as the night fell.
You don’t need to arrest anyone to find out where the panic comes from.
The citizens of Newton are dying again.
This is not a regular crime-loving city at night, but a shadow that has haunted Newton for a long time - while everyone sleeps, someone dies. It starts when a certain organ in the human body suddenly decides to stop working, which then leads to the collapse of the entire human body.
It's hardly a consolation, but the number of deaths has been declining in the past two days. James and Wes had a chance conversation with the Newtown police officers -
"We only received two reports of deaths yesterday. We hope that no one will die today..."
The two Patton detectives had two different reactions to this conversation. Wes was comforted because he knew it was Zach saving the Newtonians. As for James, because he knew it was Zach saving the Newtonians, he (bracket). You can add your own words in the brackets. Based on your understanding of James, you can add whatever you want~
Wes's goal was clear. He didn't want to waste time facing the bureaucracy that exists in any official agency. He came in as a detective from Barton asking the Newtown police to cooperate in investigating the financial loss case of Barton's enterprise, right? So, All he was looking for was the top of Newton Police, and he wasn't prepared to be intercepted by any meaningless little guy.
No one stopped them, it seemed they didn't have time.
As soon as anyone noticed the two unwelcome outsiders from Barton, a commotion broke out in Newton Police Station.
"What?! Where?!"
Various shouts began to appear in the Newton Police Station. It seemed that various departments received a large number of emergencies at the same time.
Wes and James were no strangers to this situation, it had also happened in the Barton Police Department. When a huge change suddenly occurs in a city, the police station will look like this. Because when an incident occurs suddenly, no one can characterize the incident. As a result, when the police station receives information, it cannot correctly determine which department is responsible for the incident, so all departments will receive action instructions at the same time.
No one intercepted Wes and James, but some people ignored them and rushed past them.
Wes was observing calmly and wanted to get more information, while James probably needed to vent his grievances and pent-up feelings. A soldier's fighting skills provoked a Newton policeman who rushed past, "What happened!"
The policeman who fell to the ground was stunned for a moment, and then said with a look of disgust, "None of your business!!" He got up and prepared to rush forward again.
This time Wes took action, grabbing the police officer who was about to run again, and using the kindest look he could give at the moment, "At least we're here! We can help!"
The other party's instinct should be to simply throw away this false kindness in the eyes of all Newton police officers and help? These two detectives relied on the cross-city cooperation cases brought to Barton by Newton (previously explained: the Newton Police Department originally expected these two detectives who played a role in the Fight Club case to come to Newton as consultants) , because I think the last cooperation was very successful. But this time James and Wes came here just for failure.), did you help?
But during this short conversation, the three of them passed by several Newton police officers who rushed out to call the police impatiently.
The instinct was temporarily suppressed, "*! At least we can have two more people!" Manpower should be the most precious resource for the Newton Police Department now, "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the unnatural death case anyway! Okay! Come on! Come with me!" After saying that, he led the way.
"Tell me what happened first!"
"The water pipe at Newton University burst! The entire area was flooded!" (To be continued)
