James asked Zach to go to the North Park of the Grand Cemetery to prepare a dozen pits, saying he wanted to bury people.
Zach would not doubt what James had done. Anyone in this city who made such a request would be suspicious of Zach, but not James.
Also, it's not so much a commission, but as always, James asked Zach to do something, and Zach did it. But it was indeed a commission, because James paid the money and told Zach directly at the beginning that he would pay the balance when the matter was over!
Zach regarded this as an... sublimation.
Try to describe this feeling.
Have you ever encountered something in your life that you don’t want to follow official procedures and want to rely on human relationships to solve things? There are many examples, so I won’t go into details.
James and Zach here are the other way around. Put aside your personal relationships and let us follow the business process.
Then let’s take a look at the corresponding official identities of James and Zach. One is a human policeman in the police station, and the other is a gray alien professional.
sublimation.
Just like the transformation from a human society to a legal society, this is progress. Yes, it's irony. But everyone understands the truth.
In view of James's growth, Zach forgave James for his rudeness, "Shut up, just shut up~ Are you sleeping at Grande tonight?"
"No! I still have a pregnant woman at home who needs to be taken care of."
"Okay, then... good night, just tell me the complete commission before you leave."
James stopped looking at baby Adam, got up and left the bedroom, "You drive! Drive Grande's old truck!"
"Pretend?"
"Yes! Pretending to be human!" After all, the body was going to be buried in Beiyuan.
"Now?"
"Now! I'll tell you on the way!"
…
On the road.
The drive in the Southern District is too quiet, both inside and outside the car.
The South District outside the car was naturally quiet because it was the time for people in the South District to rest and no one would wander around on Route 27. The reason why the car was quiet was because James didn't speak. Looking at people's expressions, Zach guessed that James was organizing words, so he didn't bother.
After leaving the South District and entering the North District, Zach had to say, "Where are you going?"
"Police station." James was also ready. He was not calm, and it was obvious that he was suppressing something.
Zach raised an eyebrow, "Everyone knows that this truck belongs to the Grand Funeral Home, and I'm just going to drive to the police station like this?"
As soon as you enter the North District, the environment outside the car is different. The difference in nightlife between the North District and the South District has been mentioned many times, so I won’t repeat it.
What Zach means is: As a gray professional, being able to take over a police commission is worthy of showing off, but not to the point where everyone can see it.
Unexpectedly, James seemed to have already planned the entire commission, "Just drive into the police station."
Zach glanced at James. There was still a long drive before he could ask what the commission was about: "You say that's it. Then, at least you have to tell me what will be installed in the car later. People, who are they?"
"dead."
James doesn't need to say this. "What kind of dead man."
"The dead junkie in Beach Park," James answered.
Zach raised his eyebrows. Zach expected that this case would be delayed, not that it could not be closed. But didn't Wes tell Zach that it was Barton's attitude towards drug addicts that determined it. The citizens of Barton ignored this group, and the law enforcement officials supported by citizens' taxes would naturally not pay attention to such cases.
It seems that Zach killed James, and Zach asked James to take over the case. At the time, Zach was considering Gangello and Rimmer. Now that Gangaro is gone, Rimel's motive is also clear. It is to suppress the wizard ghost represented by Sibella. The incident in the seaside park has changed its nature and become a negotiation between the three old secret alliance clans in the North District. Arthur was detained in the safe house by Nokou, which left James, the detective, with no way out.
But Zach will not apologize to James. Without the dispute between Gangro and Riemer, James can still play a role in this case, because the Smith family in the West District is still watching this case. James' role in Barton is not only his understanding of foreign races, but also his political career, isn't it
Zach raised his eyebrows and wondered, if the case was closed until it was too late to waste the police station, why would he now accept James's commission, drive Grande's car, and spend James' money? Money to dispose of the body
If the case is not closed, what does James mean by doing this
James seemed to 'hear' Zach's question, "The case is not closed, but all relevant personnel have been transferred to handle other cases."
Does it mean to be idle? After all, Barton didn't care about this kind of thing. That is to say, the location of Seaside Park (near the Upper North Side and Repert High School) made the matter hot for a few days. Now Barton's law enforcers don't even have the obligation to give an explanation to the public. Too lazy to finish and leave things there.
James didn't finish, "According to the police station's standard procedures, relevant evidence will be preserved." He glanced at Zach, "But there are no evidence at all. There was no knowledge of anything that caused drug overdose death at the scene. All we have is just a few blood reports provided by the identification tablets, and the problem is solved by filing them."
All that's left are the dead, the corpses.
James continued, "According to the procedure, the body will be stored in the morgue that has a cooperation agreement with the Ford Funeral Home and the police department. The body will not play a big role in the case. If the family claims it, the ownership will be returned. If it is not claimed, it will be kept in the morgue. Waiting for calls to be re-examined if there are new leads in the case.”
When it came to Ford Funeral Home, Zach knew something had to go wrong here. He curled his lips.
James was quiet for a while, "Until yesterday, no one claimed the deceased." He emphasized, "Even though we contacted the family members after investigating the identity of the deceased."
Why. Don't think it's impossible. There are not many families that have been destroyed by drugs. Coupled with Barton's atmosphere... this result is really not surprising.
James's face darkened, "Then yesterday, Ford Funeral suddenly submitted an application for all the deceased's bodies to be claimed by their families."
"All?" Zach heard it.
"All of them." James nodded, "I randomly visited a few families and found out that they did this after receiving money."
It took almost no effort for Zach to guess, "The Smith family did it. Or rather, it was Rimmer."
Nodding in the same way, "It's Rimmer." There was no denying that the Smith family was not involved, "The shipping service addresses provided by Ford Funeral Home are all in Paisin."
The reason James did not deny Smith's involvement was that James knew very well that Ford Funeral Home would trade bodies to aliens. Remember, James participated. So if it was just the vampire Rimmer who bought these corpses, it would be enough to directly trade them underground with Ford Funeral Home without going through the formal process stipulated by law.
But the fact is that a formal process has been followed, so there must be some consensus reached between Mr. Smith and Eve or Lydia within the Smith family. The basis of this process is that Rimmer wants to recover the body, but what is being operated on the table is Mr Smith.
Zach thought for a moment, "The drugs were smuggled into the federation by Rimmer. They were kidnapped by the descendant Gangluo was interested in during the process. This case was brought up in the seaside park. Now it's Rimmer who wants to Recycle these dead to stop losses." Zach tilted his head, "Research?" Some information can be told to James, "I can tell you that these drugs are vaccines promoted by the government in the Republic to deal with alien races in the Republic." He shrugged, "It caused a lot of deaths in the Federation. I'm afraid no one could have foreseen the result."
James's face twitched and he looked at Zach for a while, "Vaccine?" It was obviously the first time he heard the news.
Zach waved his hand, not wanting to talk more, there was nothing to talk about, and Zach didn’t know more about it.
James waved his hand, "Forget it, I don't care about this now."
Zach suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, now you ask me to recover these corpses on behalf of Grande, is it to intercept Rimmer's process in the middle? You deliberately let me drive to the police station in a ostentatious manner, just to let Smith and Rimmer both know that it was Grande who took their bodies.”
James looked straight ahead, "Yes."
Zach realized, "Is this why you insist on taking the commission? Let me offend Mr. Smith and Eve Rimmer."
James glanced at Zach and said, "Yes." He said quite calmly, "I have already paid, you can't refuse."
"Why?" Yes, why?
"Because as a police officer, I have lost the ability to control this matter. I have no right to intervene in whatever Rimmer wants to do or what Smith wants to do. But if I catch you, I can still control everything in this city. Everything that happened!”
applaud.
James is already better than Anthony.
