The Knoll district, Austin's home, has been cordoned off. Zach was led by James, but no one stopped him and entered the warning range directly...
But once Zach stepped onto the front porch, he didn't take another step forward. The smell of death stimulates the vampire's senses.
To Zach, this wasn't a murder scene, it was a drug-filled place.
James couldn't pull Zach, so he entered the house first. From the sound, he was asking his colleagues in the forensics department for gloves and masks. Maybe he thought that Zach wouldn't go in if there were no protective measures.
James was right. It was true that Zach had never gone to a crime scene with James, but this was the first time that Zach was unwilling to get close. reason? In fact, it has been made clear above that the blood of the deceased is the poison of vampires, and Austin's home is filled with vampire poison.
Still do not know? To translate, the blood of dead Austin was smeared all over his home! Walls, floors, furniture…
Zach can sense all this without going inside.
Entering the door is hell.
James came out, holding something like gloves and stuffing it into Zach's arms.
Zach didn't answer a word, "I'm not going in." Then he went straight down to the back porch, away from this hellish crime scene!
James was in a dilemma for a moment, but he still chased Zach to a place outside the cordon, away from the sight of other police officers, "What are you doing! Is it just because he is an acquaintance of yours?! Then you should help even more I!"
"Why did you come to me?" Zach asked, a very realistic question, "If you want to find the murderer quickly, you should go to the demon Jessica and Austin's soul."
This is a skill that James has long mastered, threatening the demon to provide the souls of his victims to aid in the investigation of the case.
James' face darkened.
Zach didn't have any expression, "Because I'm one of the suspects, right?" Zach didn't make this conjecture casually. If James hadn't met him on Route 27, huh, then this detective , he would drive directly to Grande with the siren blaring to pick up Zach. Think about that image.
James's face obviously darkened again.
Zach was still expressionless, "Tell me why I am a suspect, while I still have patience." Zach was not threatening James.
Perhaps because of the immortality of vampires, people take it for granted that vampires are a race that is used to the death of people they know.
Actually... not really.
We all know how the vampire's life rotation works. A vampire's 'life' will be reset every twenty years at most. We don’t have to think about vampire experiences, it’s just us. You, me, and him, take a random sample of twenty years of our lives. In this sample, how many situations in which people we know died occurred? Are we getting used to death from these situations again
Now, up the ante. It was not a natural death or some providential accident, or even some human tragedy of war. This death was the result of a murder in peacetime. How comfortable are you with this kind of thing
Keep adding more money. Not just murder. The death of someone you know is not the end of a series of horrific events in your life. No matter who murdered the person you crossed paths with, 'he' also smeared the blood of the deceased all over the person's home.
Will you get used to this experience? Still started to have nightmares.
Zach won't have nightmares, but he won't 'show off' at this time that he's not a human being who has to worry about his body being desecrated after death! Zach just... hates. I hate the fact that in this world that vampires must protect, there are living creatures that can do such horrific acts!
So, Zach didn't have much patience. If James doesn't tie his attention here as soon as possible, Zach will use his own way to commemorate his acquaintance with Austin!
"The murderer left a message." James spoke, and at the same time forced Zach into a dark alley with no way out. Humph, this detective was really on guard against Zach. "Using Austin's blood, he wrote on the ceiling, 'He shouldn't work for certain 'people'." And added details, "People, above There are quotation marks.”
Zach was breathing, air filling his chest and being expelled as it was. Anthropomorphic. Zach knew that James had not yet seen the ability of what he was thinking on his face, so he could only show it to James.
"The work Austin is doing now is the construction of the living area for Allen's funeral. I introduced him to Nenad." Zach himself straightened out the reason why he became a suspect. Everyone understands that the suspect does not refer to the murderer candidate in the narrow sense.
James is probably expressing his position: "I know you are not the murderer..."
But before he could finish his words, Zach glanced at him, "But I was the second direct cause of Austin's death."
Isn't that what the message left by the murderer means
"Zach, listen..." It sounded like James was about to start an argument.
Zach pushed James away, not bothering to listen. Our vampire has not yet fallen to the point where he needs this human detective to teach him the principles of life.
"*!" James naturally couldn't stop Zach, but he still tried hard. He grabbed Zach's arm and dragged him, "What are you going to do?!"
"Find the first direct cause of Austin's murder." Zach was going to find Nenad who was responsible for Allen's funeral.
In fact, there is no need to reason at all, the murderer's information is already very straightforward, the quotation marks on the word '人'?
Some guy who knew Austin was working for a vampire killed Austin!
We remember many names in the city of Barton. Which name fits the motive of this murder
Ford.
Zach is already giving face to the police detective James. Zach's not going to Ford's funeral now is already showing enough respect for the legal system of the city of Barton!
As for why we went to find Nenad, it was because the murderer was found out by Allen Funeral, and Allen Funeral needed to be held responsible.
"*!" It was the soles of James' shoes that were rubbing against the ground. "Who do you think told us who introduced Austin to him?! Nenad gave a statement at the police station last night!"
Zach stopped dragging James to rub the ground. He turned around, pushed away James' hand that was desperately grabbing him, and looked directly at James without saying a word.
James was self-conscious, "The case was reported by an anonymous phone call yesterday. When we arrived, we immediately found out Austin's current job and Allen's funeral living area, and then..." James' face twitched, " Then Darcy dragged me to prevent me from contacting you, and he went to the South District to find Nenad first!"
Zach opened his mouth, and a complete thought was assembled in his mind.
Darcy, worthy of being an old inheritor who had been with the Sabbat for so long, immediately grasped the essence of the case: someone was murdering humans who worked for vampires.
If this matter were placed in the Sabbat, it would undoubtedly be a provocation to the Sabbat society! Just like the current anti-interracial movement!
And Darcy knows that Zach has no experience in this kind of thing... This may not be accurate. As a vampire, Zach knows that the authority of his race in society cannot be questioned, even if it is just for the sake of racial honor. However, Zack also has the habit of deliberately distorting a certain case for the sake of the superficial harmony of human society...
Darcy, the inheritor, no matter how ups and downs his personal experience is, he is ultimately a beneficiary of the society created by the Sabbat vampires. He got Nick's blood and is destined to become a descendant of Giovanni, right? Maybe one day I will abandon the title of inheritor and refer to him as vampire.
Darcy did nothing wrong this time. Before Zach, a guy who might distort the meaning of the case, inevitably intervened in the case, he first got the vampire who really understood the Sabbat's way of thinking, Nenad, into the police station. Discuss the case.
Zach closed his mouth, seeing that James still looked like he was ready to stop him at any time, "What else did Nenad say."
"Nenad said he almost knew who the murderer was, and he said he would take care of everything." James said these words with a dark face while staring at Zach, "And neither he nor Darcy told me What's going on!" Tsk, the reason why James dragged Zach desperately, "Tell me what's going on!" Oh, James became excited, "Don't tell me about going to the devil to get your soul. ! No need! I 100% know what’s going on in this case! Who is the murderer! Don’t even think about leaving until you tell me the truth!”
Two things.
The first thing is that Nenad said he would take care of everything. Zach understood. As mentioned above, it was Allen Funeral's hostile takeover that intensified Ford's... malice towards Barton's peers. It is Nenad's responsibility to deal with this murderer who failed to kill the vampire and started murdering the innocent citizens of Barton!
the second one. James is very pitiful. It is certain that Kate has never revealed to James what she and Zach eavesdropped at Ford's funeral that day... James wants to understand the truth of this case, so he doesn't have to go so far. If you're looking for Zach in the South District, just ask his wife...
But Zach suddenly didn’t want to talk at this moment.
Ford is dying.
Don't call Zach hypocritical. Although Zach did not even enter the scene of the crime in this case and concluded who the murderer was without much need for reasoning, Zach did not sentence Ford to death.
Behind Ford, there is another person who is really manipulating, this Darcy can instantly see through the true nature of the case, the real murderer behind the case, Hamilton Lesembra.
Zach just decided to go to Nainad because he wanted to discuss with Nainad what they could not proceed with before. They had to wait for the next step of Ford's funeral before they could continue to find out information about Hamilton.
Now, this murder is the next step in Ford's funeral. It's not like blowing up Allen Funeral, but it's more... radical than blowing up Allen Funeral.
If letting Ford, the exploited human pawn, attack vampires is just a direct mockery of Zachary Toredo's way of dealing with vampires, killing humans who work for vampires is directly interrupting vampires in any way. Way to live!
Hamilton's move is too poisonous! He had no intention of playing political symbols with Zach and Nenad, and he did not limit himself to putting this confrontation on an equal battlefield between vampires and vampires! He wants to destroy the society created by Zach, starting from directly attacking humans! !
Helping the mayor of human friends and stabilizing the city of Barton is the foundation of Zach! !
Now, Zach's foundation is contaminated! Because obviously, if this was an overtly political conversation, Hamilton was saying to the mayor, Mr. Anthony, 'You've always been the vampire defender of the city, and now you're the reason your citizens are being brutally murdered! ! '
And believe me, this notice will be received by Mayor Anthony!
Such an insidious move. Zach didn't know how to handle it. The reason is also very simple, Zach will not resist Anthony! Even if Zach knows that he is the one who has been wronged!
But Nenad knew.
Zach has an unexplainable emotional basis for Anthony, but Nenad does not. Nenad will not take into account the tacit understanding between Zach and Mayor Anthony. Nenad only knows that Hamilton made the move as he wished, and he is still a coward who dare not confront me head-on. Playing such a game involves innocent people. insidious tricks.
It is possible to add up all the unfair treatment Nenad had suffered at the hands of Lethembra in the Cappadocia clan.
For Nenad, the initial promise to Zach that Ford would not have to pay the price for the game could be thrown away, right? Zach has an unexplainable emotional basis for Anthony, but Nenad does not. Nenad will not take into account the tacit understanding between Zach and Mayor Anthony. Nenad only knows that Hamilton made the move as he wished, and he is still a coward who dare not confront me head-on. Playing such a game involves innocent people. insidious tricks.

For Nenad, the initial promise to Zach that Ford would not have to pay the price for the game could be thrown away, right
When Hamilton surfaced behind Ford, Nenad did not directly remove Ford, Hamilton's only chess piece, but already gave Zach all the respect he could.
Now, Nenad still respects Zach, but Ford's life cannot continue because Nenad can make a very simple comparison. Austin or Ford, who does Zach prefer.
Ford is constantly going dark, so there’s no need to clean things up, right? The good impression he left in Zach's heart in the early years was gradually lost after this year.
On the other hand, in Austin, Zach was sincere and friendly to this somewhat cunning engineering contractor, and even introduced him to him to do the living area project.
Austin is dead. Ford, there is no point in living. Zach wouldn't expect anything from Ford anymore.
So Zach naturally thought, Ford must die.
Zach's silence made James feel inexplicably nervous, "What are you thinking about?"
Zach glanced at James.
