"I'm counting on you to let me make Bishop active again on the Barton stage~"
What Blake immediately thought of was that not long ago, 'Mr. Bishop' had just reorganized the Bishop Group's legal team, so his immediate reaction was, "Mr. Bishop, what do you want to do?"
"It's not what I want to do~" Mr. 'Bishop' kept smiling, "It's us who want to do something." He swung his wine glass again and walked out of the room where he was about to bid farewell to his boyhood. "Barton, it's because of Bishop that he can succeed." Born from Newton." Everyone knows this history, so we won't review it. "Now~" I won't say anymore, "It's time for us to go down, the dinner is still going on~ You, the protagonist, shouldn't disappear for too long... "
'Mr. Bishop' is right, guests like Alice and Maya disappear for physical needs no one cares about for how long, but Blake is the master. Let's go to the banquet venue...
No. Something happened to Grandry and we have to go back.
In the night, a black car rushed into Grande, "Zachary Grande!" Zach's unimpressive voice sounded at the same time as the sound of getting out of the car, "Zachary Grande!" Continuously and anxiously , even shouting out to Zach angrily.
Zach was watching TV with Louise in the entertainment room, and chatting about things in Louise's hospital: the Inheritors and Derek.
Zach and Louise heard the sound of the car driving on the gravel road in advance, but because it was an unfamiliar sound, neither Zach nor Louise thought it was coming to Grande.
In the past, one could count all the cars driving on this dirt road as Grand. After all, there were no other buildings on the road except the Church of the Holy Son, which no one went to.
But since Pochquin became Grande's neighbor, all cars that can drive on this dirt road have new destination options. Basically... drive five or five. Generally, the sounds of cars that Zach can hear are coming for Grande, and the ones that he hasn't heard are coming for Pochquin.
This time Zach originally thought he was looking for Boqi and was not prepared to welcome the guests. Before he heard the roar of the car's engine and drove directly past Boqi's house, he looked at Louise.
It was someone he didn't know anyway, so Zach wasn't in a hurry and told Louise not to bother and stay in the entertainment room to watch TV. He got up and took a look at the window, "You went in the wrong direction, I'm here." The window raised its hand to the stranger rushing towards the employee living area.
When the other party heard Zach's voice, he turned back sharply, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly looked back and forth at the Grande main building and employee living area in the north and south. Obviously for people who come to Grande for the first time, the living area is more like a place to live at night.
The man shook his head and threw away the meaningless thoughts, "Come down and help!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, forget it, stepped away from the window, glanced at Louise, left the entertainment room and went downstairs.
Halfway down, he frowned and accelerated his pace. Zach could smell the smell of blood.
On the back porch. Zach saw the stranger struggling to pull a man wrapped tightly in a blanket over.
Zach walked closer, glanced at the wrapped person, frowned more tightly, pushed the stranger out of the way, picked up the wrapped person, and walked quickly into Grande.
I'm afraid I didn't have time to go upstairs, so Zach turned and entered the restaurant. Jason sat at the dining table, holding a bowl of cereal with a dull expression. Seeing Zach come in, he was stunned for a moment, immediately threw away the bowl in his hand, and removed the obstructive furnishings from the dining table.
Zach glanced at Jason with approval, without saying anything else, and laid the man on his shoulders flat on the dining table.
This person is the chief of the Barton Police Department and the inheritor Darcy.
Darcy unwrapped himself from the blanket and glanced at Zach tremblingly, "Help, help me..." He no longer had the ability to express himself.
Darcy's skin was revealed to be an abnormal mixture of cyan and red. Cyan occupies the main area, and red is just some long and thin wounds. Zach was not prepared to speculate on what Darcy had gone through. After saving the person, the situation could be explained.
Zach, on the other hand, looked back at the stranger who had rushed in after him. Under the jacket that he accidentally opened during his impatience, he saw the police badge pinned to his waist. However, the pattern... was a little different.
Zach didn't waste any more time, stretched out his hand with a thimble and pressed it on Darcy's chest. Darcy's hypothermia had just passed into Zach's senses...
"Save him quickly!!" the unfamiliar Detective Barton shouted.
Zach glanced at this guy expressionlessly, as if he was questioning, 'I don't know if I can save him again, what are you shouting for?' 'At the same time, red blood began to appear on the thimble, and the controlled fluid solidified when it pressed against Darcy's skin, turning into a solid and piercing Darcy's body.
The unfamiliar police detective was stunned for a moment, and then saw that Darcy's skin color was returning to normal. Those long and thin wounds are also healing and disappearing.
The strange police detective glanced at Zach awkwardly, then pointed to the thimble on Zach's finger, "I, I didn't know you had such a mechanism..." Apparently he regarded Sam as Zach's equipment.
Zach still had no expression and looked back at Darcy who was recovering. It wasn't like Zach wasn't thinking about anything. In fact, in this short period of time, Zach had already guessed the identity of this stranger.
The first thing that gave him away was his accent. He was not a Patton, not even from the Eastern Confederacy. Zach heard this accent very often when he was living in Vega City in the west.
The second is his police badge. Because James, a police detective with a deep love for Grande, had lived in Grande for a long time, Zach was very familiar with Barton's identity as a law enforcer. Although Zach only glanced at the pattern on the police badge of this strange police detective, with Zach's familiarity with police badges, he had already pointedly seen the abbreviation on the badge that represented the jurisdiction of a police detective. Barton’s is bd, and j is used. Zach doesn’t need to think too much about the federal city, it must be Vega.
The third one was naturally urged by the guy just now. Only people who know vampires know that vampires need to bloodletting to save people. Remember, it was the only educational link that Zach once valued the 'general'.
Zach told the 'General' that he must learn to control his own healing speed and have the ability to injure himself and drain blood when needed, such as when saving the lives of his friends. Otherwise, a vampire is just an eternal monster that only takes blood from other creatures and only cares about its own existence.
fourth. Yes, and fourthly, Zach remembered that he had heard this voice before, on the phone.
Seeing that Darcy was recovering steadily, Zach withdrew his bleeding hand. He looked at the detective and said, "Welcome to Barton, and... I forgot your title. You need to reintroduce yourself." Well, this is also straightforward.
The police detective from Vega twitched at the corner of his eye, "I don't expect you to remember to call me... Bell, um, Bell."
Zach looked at the other person's face and confirmed that Bell was just a temporary name. He didn't question anything, "Okay, Bell, do you want to explain."
"I don't have anything to explain to you. I just arrived in Barton and I don't want to show up at the Barton Police Station and be seen!" He glanced at Zach and actually opened his coat at the same time and took off the police badge on his waist. Put it away, "I went directly to Darcy's house and saw the police chief of your city lying on the verge of death in his living room! If I hadn't been unfamiliar with this city and didn't know the means of transportation to your place, I would have I won’t use my police badge to commandeer civilian vehicles!”
It seems we still need to remind you who this detective who deliberately named himself Bell is.
When the pressure on Vega's alien murder case was increasing, there was a Vega police detective because Zach was the only 'eyewitness' in the case. Zach heard the whole process of a murder on the phone and gave it to Grande. I called and asked about the situation.
At that time, after this episode, I stopped paying attention to it. Alas, part of the reason was that James' white lotus attitude at the time was quite disgusting to us. Do you remember it? An alien case involving Vega, when Zach didn't quite know what was going on, James was jumping up and down far away from Barton.
As for the later murders of aliens who turned into humans and were implicated in death, Barton also gradually revealed Ms. West's...'influence' on certain things, and Miley Lister was pulled into it by Frank. Everyone in the Sabbat team began to consciously avoid the case.
The detective who once spoke with Zach on the phone has long been forgotten. After Madison unilaterally announced that he would no longer share his and Ms. West's book manuscript with the outside world, the whole matter completely disappeared from Zach's attention.
But everyone can relax, the anti-social murder case that occurred in Vega will not return to Zach's watch list just because the Vega police detective came to Barton. Because he didn't want to show up at the Barton Police Station, he put away his police badge to show that it was just a prop used to save Darcy at that time. Aren't these performances enough to explain the situation
This Bell did not come to Barton on official business.
Zach tilted his head, understandably, and looked back at Darcy. It seemed that he wanted to wait until Darcy had completely recovered before asking, "I don't like strange cars in Grandry." The literal meaning made Detective Bell The car will be returned wherever it was requisitioned. It no longer literally means: Since you happened to run into the life-threatening incident that Darcy suffered by coincidence, then continue to treat it as a coincidence, bye~ you can go.
Can you analyze Zach’s thoughts
Simply to protect the face of the city of Barton. The city's law enforcement boss experienced a life-threatening incident, but was saved by a police detective from afar. Shame on you.
Detective Bell obviously understood the meaning of Zach's words. He frowned, fumbled in his pocket, and took out a bunch of business cards that were not his own. "This is what I was arrested at your Becky exit." The crowded hotel advertisement..." He curled his lips and took out a business card casually, "That's it." Then he recorded the information on the business card he selected, "I will register it under the name Bell." Handed the business card to Zach .
Zach glanced at this Bell. What this person does... In this brief contact, he has surprisingly given people a very thorough feeling.
Everyone can probably imagine what kind of hotels are there that advertise for tourists at the exit of Bechi Station. Detective Bell had made it clear that he didn't want to use his true identity in Barton, so naturally, he needed a place to stay where he didn't have to verify his identity. That's what he just did in front of Zach.
In the meantime, let's really think about the significance of him telling Zach about his stay.
We can determine one characteristic of the police detectives who came from Vega City, which is that Zach is a law enforcer who has experienced it in Vega, and he does not like vampires who control power.
But in these current contacts, although they were short-lived, we found out that Detective Bell has any hostility towards vampires, oh, at least Zach, no, not really, even if Zach frankly stated that he did not remember him. name.
Instead, he took the initiative to tell the other party where he lived, which is usually used to express sincerity.
Although it is not possible to conclude that Detective Bell intends to get close to Grande, it can at least be confirmed that he did not talk to Zach with a Western bias and intended to continue communicating with Zach. That's why he Will tell Zach his future address.
The impartial first contact is the beginning of the flow of good things. Zach needed to admit this, and nodded while accepting the business card handed over by the other party.
Seeing Zach take the business card, Bell nodded without any extra expression, and then looked at Director Darcy who had recovered enough to sit up on his own. Bell did not copy another address to Darcy but said, "You seem to have something else on hand. I won't disturb you these days. I will visit you again after a while." After saying this, Weiwei expressed respect. He bowed and finally left.
Zach watched everything from the side and did not feel that the last respect was false. He glanced at Darcy and asked, "Do you have a friendship?"
"With him? No, I had some friendship with his grandfather in my last life cycle." Darcy said the same thing... ugh. Forget it, I won’t say more about the life cycle of the inheritor.
Zach has a new idea. Do you remember Zach’s most original impression of Darcy? Darcy is a political compromise made by Anthony to the Sabbat in order to keep Chief Cologne, right? Darcy, a famous police family in the west, parachuted into Barton and replaced Cologne.
The point is here, Darcy is the inheritor who was held captive by the Sabbat. It can be seen that the Sabbat is trying to change the contradiction between the power class and law enforcement in western society. Darcy's so-called police family should be the product of this attempt.
Zach didn't want to talk more about the Sabbat, "What's wrong with you?"
"I was attacked, Siren." Darcy's face turned gloomy, and he glanced at Zach, "You may not know. Last night, a violent incident occurred in a nightclub..."
"I know." Zach pointed at Jason and repeated, "I know."
Only now did Darcy notice the frightened Jason who had been standing in the corner and couldn't find a way to leave.
The corners of Darcy's mouth twitched and he said: "Tsk, it was written in the report that some of the suspects fled the scene and were hiding here with you..."
Jason, who had been terrified before and didn't know what would happen... "Wait a minute, what did you say?? Suspect?? Me??!"
