On Monday, after Zach watched Alice and Maya leave Grande to go to school, he returned to the office and received Detective Coulson who was already waiting impatiently...
This matter should start from the time when it is still dark.
When the sun was still below the sea level, choosing which point to peek out from, an angry crowd broke into the Grande.
The first people affected by the news were actually Grande employees in the living area.
One of these ex-criminals was actually sent out on a business trip alone by Grande's big boss. This fact kept these people awake all night. Controlled by various positive or negative emotions, they intensely discussed some topics about their own future all night long.
Are you curious about what these ex-convicts discuss? Let’s give two typical examples.
Some people think positively that this is a beginning. Grande is giving them some freedom. Today they are safe and dare to send one person on a business trip. Tomorrow, they may be given a day off in their work schedule without rest to allow them to move freely.
Some people think negatively that they will never see the person who went on a business trip again...
That’s pretty much it. You can think about it as much as you want, it’s not important anyway. The important thing is that in this discussion atmosphere, it is a fact that no one is sleepy. So when a group of strangers broke into Grande in the dark, these people were the first to hear the noise.
Staff in the living area turned on their lights, trying to figure out who the people were and what they were up to in the backyard. Up to this time, the people who broke into Grande had not had any impact on the people in the living area.
But soon.
The living area is the first to be lit. People who had already entered Grande's property and were groping in the backyard to judge whether Grande's building was for public use saw the light. I don't know which one of them shouted, "They must live in this building! Drag him away." Come out and ask!”
This group of angry people who didn't know what they were here for was not the first person to make a mistake in the function allocation of the Grande building. Remember, Detective Bell who sent Darcy also made a mistake.
It's just that Bell has Zach speaking out from the window of the Grand's main building to remind him. And now these people came to Grande at night. Oh, without Zach's reminder, Zach was still lying on the bed without Louise like a mummy, suspending the movement of life - commonly known as vampire sleep.
A group of strangers were misled by the light, so it was logical.
Next, the door to the living area was smashed open. Yes, violent vandals, armed with weapons whose main purpose is household items or sports equipment, such as wrenches, bats, etc., rushed directly to the area where Grande employees turned on their lights.
Then, the ex-convicts...
Let’s skip the specific scenes. Just think about what will happen when two groups of people who have already broken the legal boundaries and those who are breaking the legal boundaries collide. It’s enough to think about it with your toes. We won’t waste time describing it here.
Old Hank, who was awakened by the movements downstairs, woke up Bain, asked Bain to wake up Zach, and then squeezed into the chaotic scene downstairs. If I could, I would like to describe Old Hank's heroic behavior, but I'm sorry, an old man disappeared in the crowd in an instant, so everyone can continue to imagine with their toes.
Zach was able to wake up when the sun finally showed a bright red glow on the horizon. All parts of the body were still numb as they listened to Bain describe the situation in the living area, and said "oh", ink marks... No, this word is too subjective, another word, stiff, stiffly moved to the door of the girl's room, knocked on the door, While waiting for Alice to wake up, she instructed Bain to go to the basement to get his breakfast.
"No one in Grande has died in the past few days." Alice said with certainty after hearing what Zach relayed again over breakfast.
Zach said 'oh' again, cleared his breakfast, and went to the office, "Hey, Director Cologne, someone is coming to Grande to cause trouble." He hung up the phone.
Finally, I finally walked slowly to the living area, and without any fuss, I turned on the fire alarm. When everyone rushed out of the living area in confusion, I said to the people passing by one by one, "Those who don't know me, stand still." Go to the middle of the backyard, and the Grandes will surround them.”
Under the red sight, there were still a few guys lying in the living area with no ability to move, including Old Hank. Zach asked Bain to carry Old Hank back to the room, and looked at the remaining few who had no ability to move. The stranger shook his head. When he called the police just now, he should have called an ambulance.
But it doesn't matter, Alice said, there is no death among Grande's people. Old Hank will inevitably receive personal treatment from Zack later regardless of his subjective wishes. As for the people still lying on the ground, Grande's employees, anyway, with Alice's affirmation, they will never die. Unqualified Why should Zach save a stranger from Rand who invaded my territory and beat me
Back in the backyard, the situation of Grande employees surrounding the intruders had been confirmed. Zach ignored it and his red eyes returned to normal, "Watch them, the police will be here soon."
Then... ignore it and start Grande's day normally.
The normal opening means helping Alice prepare the girl's breakfast in the kitchen, opening the door of Grande when Sires comes to work, and taking over the newspapers and mill work reports that Sires brings.
The Southern District Police Department acted very quickly. When Siris sat behind the counter of the showroom with a confused look on his face, the police car and ambulance had already arrived in front of Grande's door.
"Grand's employees have priority." Since the ambulance was brought by the police with the foresight, Zach naturally had to stick to his principles as the owner of Grand, "We are the people who were attacked and the victims. "
But everyone should have common sense. Ever since the identity of law enforcers was invented by human civilization, the person who defines the victim and the perpetrator has never been the person involved.
So regardless of what Zach asked of the first responders who ignored him, everyone in Grande's backyard was a target of police suppression.
Grande employees surrounded a crowd of strangers, and police surrounded Grande employees. Zach once again put the matter in the backyard aside and let the policemen led by Coulson do their work. During Alice and Maya's breakfast time, he chatted with Sirise about Sirise's married life -
Sires said: "Brill was excited all night. She said she couldn't wait to communicate with the new employees about the habits of wild animals... "
Zach was ignorant, "Does your office have a new employee? Who is it?"
"Gangro! Hey, you don't know! Yesterday, Mokavi actually brought the ancestor of the Lesenbula clan to us. She insisted on completing that painting. I don't understand. She wanted to If you were to draw the Milky Way, why would you use the ancestor of Lesenbra as a model? I finally finished the painting and I don’t know if it was the ancestor of Lesenbula who did it on purpose. I asked Moka Weibaton if she had painted all the vampires. , Mokawi said no, he had only painted Toledo and him (the ancestor of the Lesenbula clan, Frank). That Lesenbula was definitely intentional, and asked Mokawei if he was interested in updating the Thirteen Clans Portrait!" Sires became more and more angry as he spoke, and finally gritted his teeth, "He definitely did it on purpose! He dragged everyone into the water before leaving."
He still seemed ignorant of the course of the incident, "Then why did Gangro become your new employee?"
"Who else could it be if he wasn't Gangaro? Will Revro from Allen's Funeral be close to our ancestors' office? Can we find anyone from Paisin's Novel (who always hides in the dark)? Rimmer from Smith Will you come to the South District? But it’s not just Gangluo who was kept by Sissi who will be tricked by us!"
"Oh, that's it." Zach finally showed a clear expression, "That's good. After all, our office is an outdoor survival store, so there should be a few outdoor experts in charge. Your wife Brielle learned from the habits of wild animals that they are motivated~" He patted the helpless Sires to comfort him about the impermanence of this world.
After chatting with Sires about his life, Zach also picked up the two girls after breakfast, fulfilled his duties as a guardian, and told the two girls to study hard and make progress every day.
Finally, now, Zach finally stepped into the office, "Sorry, Detective Coulson, to trouble you so early in the morning."
"No need to bother. It seems that you have the situation under control even if the police didn't come!" Coulson's tone was just because of his impatience, and what he said was true. If Zach hadn't yelled to the medical staff that Grande employees should be given priority, any police officer who saw a group of people surrounded by ex-criminals would not think that the latter were victims.
"Have you asked what's going on?" Zach kept Coulson waiting for such a long time, so naturally it wasn't a boring pretense. Zach was really too lazy to ask what happened. Why not use someone who could tell him the result directly
Detective Coulson sighed first, and he seemed to have adjusted his mood. The Southern District Police Department already had a cooperative relationship with Grande—although even Chief Colon in the police department didn’t know why Zach just said he could help them increase the number of people. The Southern District Police Department was established. In the blink of an eye, the Southern District Police Department actually received the budget from the city government and began to expand.
But since Zach has already accomplished his part of the police cooperation, the Southern District Police Department will naturally not let Zach down.
Detective Coulson took out notebooks of various styles, which had just been collected from his police officers. He summarized and summarized the records of the on-site interviews. The incident was clear: "These people are actually here to come." Yours, and this is not the first time they have invaded illegally."
Zach raised an eyebrow, and Coulson paused deliberately, obviously hoping that Zach would participate. Zach cooperated, "Looking for me?" Looking out the window to the backyard, the double siege in the backyard had long been dispersed, and now it was only time for the police to detain the suspect. A stranger that Zach had never seen before was handcuffed and escorted to the police car. As for the Grande employees, they had their hands free and placed them as they wished. Some were being questioned by the police for follow-up, and some were being questioned by the police. Some skin injuries were treated by medical staff. Zach looked at the scene that was enough to draw a conclusion, "So this time they broke into the wrong building and hit the wrong person." God must be blessing these thugs. You can imagine that they broke into a vampire. What will happen in the place where you sleep with the banshee? "What happened before? Did they even find the wrong location?"
Detective Coulson used these words to open the case deliberately. It seemed that he had not yet told Zach the content of the incident, but he had already revealed two important points. One was that the target of the other party was Zach, and the other was that it was not these things. A person's first crime.
Zach did a good job of extracting these two key points and blending them together, which made Coulson's next narration very easy: "They didn't find the wrong place before, no one in Barton would find the wrong Grande." After all, with such high exposure, "it's just that Grande was not their first choice."
Zach looked away from the backyard and glanced at Coulson. Although Zach had just cooperated with Coulson's desired participation, he was actually not satisfied with Coulson's roundabout way of talking. Isn't it better to just say it? What's the point of selling it? But Zach's upbringing was there, "Well, then I sincerely hope their first target is well."
This means that since this group of people have arrived at Grande, the non-preferred target, there is a high probability that the preferred target has been violently crushed.
"It's fine." Detective Coulson looked at Zach, seemingly satisfied with Zach's instant confusion, "Because their first target sold you Grande."
Zach frowned and finally lost his patience, "Detective Coulson, we are already acquaintances, how about we just talk to him if we have anything to say?"
Detective Coulson pursed his lips and rolled his eyes secretly, "It was Ford Funeral. It was Ford Funeral that brought people to you."
"Sorry, you mean Ford Funeral?"
It was Zach who asked Detective Coulson to tell him directly, so Detective Coulson would not return to the position of taking care of Zach's feelings. In a statement, "The leader of this gang confessed to Ford Funeral, saying that they took people there. When Ford Funeral was preparing to make a big fuss, the boss of Ford Funeral, Ford directly asked them to come to Grande to make a fuss, and said." He paused to make sure Zach followed, "Although the two cremations were apparently managed by Ford Funeral, Yes, but Grand Funeral took advantage of Ford’s burial business rights and industrial insurance affiliation to privately take away the two cremated remains.”
Zach understood every word Coulson said, but it seemed that he couldn't understand it when he put it together, "What cremation, what body?"
"This is what I want to ask you." Detective Coulson looked at Zach, actually judging Zach's expression with his policeman's quality, "Has Grande had any secret dealings with Ford Funeral recently?"
Zach was about to speak, but closed his mouth and looked at Detective Coulson with an expressionless face, saying nothing.
Grande and Ford had a secret deal. You can't talk to a police detective about this. There’s no need to explain this, it’s the same as you wouldn’t show off to a traffic policeman that you dared to race on the highway after drinking!
Detective Coulson is also spiritual, and used Zach's exact words - "We are already acquaintances, tell me, I won't report it."
Zach curled his lips and stopped writing, "Some time ago, I bought two corpses from Ford." Since Ford was unjust, I'm sorry, Mr. Ford. (To be continued)
