On Tuesday morning, Grande's breakfast had been over for a long time, and Louise was disappointed to find that Zach was still lying on the bed like a dead body.
As time goes by, more and more bad habits of vampires are exposed, such as the current practice of standing up, late-night snacks in the early morning, stricter water temperature requirements for bathing than women, and spending an hour or two cleaning their own wine bottles. Bottle, for example, will use charming pupils to remind people looking at the mirror to pay attention to his presence, such as...
"Zach!" Louise was no longer as gentle and cautious as the first time. She pressed her fingers on Zach's pale cheek and shook it back and forth, "Anthony's call!"
The turbid green color swam in the slightly opened eyelids. As they gradually opened and merged to form normal eyes, Zach let out an ooh and sat up stiffly from the bed.
A wine bottle was stuffed into the vampire's slowly raised hand, and Louise quickly put the shirt on Zach.
The vampire's face was still stiff, and his voice was hoarse with interference, "Why are you so anxious?"
Louise's eyes lit up with excitement, "We have a client! I'm going to discuss the details of the funeral with the client."
Like a rotten old man, Zach let Louise pull and fiddle with his body at will, adding clothes, while he persistently rotated the wine bottle in his hand. He needed the first meal in the morning to raise his 'blood sugar'.
"Let's not do door-to-door service." Zach's half-rusted brain began to work. He didn't remember that Grand House had the habit of visiting people to plan funerals. The guests came to discuss it themselves.
"We have it now!" Louise glanced at Zach. Please forgive Louise. She is the one who feels the most uncomfortable about not having a job and having nothing to do all day long! Why. She had a very busy life, if you know what I'm saying.
"Who is it?" Zach's voice became much more normal. After replenishing the food, he was satisfied to find that he had even put on his socks.
"Dylan!" Louise looked at her work, smoothed the wrinkles on the vampire's shoulders with satisfaction, and shook her head. Correcting his words, "Dylan's family!" He looked at Zach with a smile and winked, "So, it's not appropriate for them to come to your office."
Zach curled his lips and smiled. Indeed, if the other party's family found out that the owner of the funeral home was the detective who disgusted them yesterday, I'm afraid they would leave immediately.
But now that the family has begun planning the funeral. It means that the police have reached a conclusion and the body has been handed over to the family for disposal.
"Are you going alone?" Zach asked with a smile, looking at the woman who was in high spirits because of her work.
"Yeah." Louise nodded, "Mike said someone will protect us." We mean Dylan's body and Louise.
"Mike is here?" Zach fumbled in his pocket. He wanted to check the time. It seemed that a lot of things had happened since the sun emerged above the horizon.
"Yes." Louise nodded and was already sitting in front of the dressing table. Skillfully putting on the cosmetics that had been buried for a long time, she began to prepare for her first appearance as a real working woman. "I'm chatting with Jin." Louise looked at the two red dots printed suddenly in the mirror and shook her head helplessly, "He brought a lot of gifts, well, there are some for you."
"Mine?" The red dot in the mirror flickered on and off several times, which was the vampire blinking.
"You'll find out when you get down." Louise's expression was a little strange. Shaking his head, he decided not to play the 'looking in the mirror and talking to a vampire' game with Zach, and turned his head, "Anthony also wants you to call back."
The redness in his eyes disappeared, and Zach also knew that he couldn't play this game for too long. If you're not careful, you can literally inject false memories into innocent people. And if the other party was Louise, she would be so angry that she would ignore Zach for the whole day. No one likes to have someone else’s thoughts fed into their head, even if they’re a couple.
Zach took the wine bottle and swayed out of the room like a drunkard, one step, two steps... The liquid in the bottle gradually disappeared, and the vampire who stepped down the stairs returned to normal.
The door to the stairwell was opened, and Mike sat next to the Great Dane on the back porch, but the vendetta that fit the shapeshifter's sense of purpose did not happen. Jin chewed the food in a large carton calmly, but his tail swayed like a real Great Dane. For the first time, Jin made movements that fit his appearance.
Mike turned his head, and the devil in the sun looked at Zach with a smile, "He forgives me."
Zach didn't know what to say. He looked at the things in the food box and sniffed. The smell of the things had nothing to do with delicacies or even food.
Mike smiled and explained, "It was made entirely for the taste." It turned out to be specially prepared for shapechangers, and normal chefs would not make such a thing. I'm afraid only a chef like Mike who has no 'soul' and only cares about the accuracy of the process and doesn't care about the results can do it.
"This is for you." Mike handed a white box beside him to Zach, "I left a box for you for the church's blood donation event."
Zach put the wine bottle in his hand back into his pocket, opened the lid, and took one look at it. The corners of his mouth almost cracked to the base of his ears, "Friend, I like you."
Mike's teeth are very white, and he already has a comfortable pastor's face. Facing the sun, his smile makes people feel comfortable. "Everyone likes me, which feels good."
In Grande's backyard, Benjamin was lying on a hammock, holding a piece of paper that seemed to be an instruction manual and looking at it with an unpacked box beside him. Everyone seemed to have received a gift.
Zach held the box and didn't want to put it down. He looked at the friendly face of the people in Grand's backyard looking at Mike and frowned, "I hope this is not compensation for the real bad news."
"No." Mike didn't care about the vampire's villainy. "The content Crowley asked me to bring is very good. She said you will like it."
"Really?" Zach smiled. Crowley should be with him on this matter. Regarding Quest who was suddenly mentioned yesterday, Crowley should know more details from James than Zach. As for Yuri, he is openly competing with Smith, so Zach’s intention is obvious, " come in."
Mike stood up and entered the Grande, while Zach went to save the gift. First he sat in the office and waited.
When Zach walked into the office, he was holding a glass of 'wine' in his hand. He sat down in front of Mike with great glory, "Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"Nothing." Mike smiled, "I think it's easy to get if you want, and it will be more vivid."
Zach winked, it was true. However, when he knew that he was becoming an increasingly sloppy boyfriend, Zach felt that it was better not to show his 'bad habits' beyond being sloppy in front of Louise. Suffice it to say, our vampires have been vegetarian for a long time.
"What did Crowley find?" Zach asked with a smile after gesturing upward with his eyes. Today is off to a great start, let it last.
"Do you want to listen to Quest or Yuri first?"
The thinking in the vampire's mind progresses like this, Alice, Laura, Kepler. Laura, Alice, Grande.
"Quest." Zach hoped that Quest's message would be exciting enough that Yuri wouldn't have to show up at all.
"James has previously found out about the dispute between Quest and his brother Neil Quest before the wedding..." Mike began to narrate.
Remember Neil and Daphne, the newlyweds who took a trip to hell? Now still recuperating in the lunatic asylum in Barton City, their honeymoon was probably the weirdest part of the itinerary.
James started investigating Quest because he was misled by Zach. In the end, it was almost confirmed that Quest was responsible for the disappearance of his brother and his wife. As for why. Zach didn't ask, naturally to prevent James, who was on the verge of breaking out, from losing control.
The answer came after Grande accepted Smith's disguise commission. I got the answer when I visited James.
The cemetery area near Paising and the North Park project are Quest's projects.
Quest is determined to turn his Big Q into a supermarket chain. However, as a rising star in Barton City, Quest's main customers are the citizens of the South District. Its capital is really unable to complete this move through normal channels.
Even breaking through to the market in the North District would be difficult, otherwise it would be the so-called farmers' market. Do you really think it is held for the farmers in the Southern District? No, it’s just to attract people from the North District!
So when the cemetery area in the North District was being planned, Quest immediately took over the North Park land that was the first to be developed and was much cheaper for reasons well known to everyone. He knew that the one who started first would get the most attention. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, all he needs is attention. What a shrewd businessman.
But when entering the follow-up process, Quest's desire for control emerged. He manipulated the data of public bidding building materials suppliers and used Yuri Building Materials.
This was discovered by Neil.
The quarrel between the two brothers before the wedding was seen by some guests. James took this clue and began to investigate with the impression that Quest had become dark due to vampires. He obtained evidence of a secret deal between Quest and Yuri. At the time, it seemed that he had enough motivation to make his brother disappear in order to cover it up.
Don’t forget, the person James thought committed the crime was a phantom! As long as Quest has 'em I wish Neal would disappear! Never mention this again! 's**, then things become a reality.
James would not arrest Quest for kidnapping, but the charge of secret operation would be enough for Quest to spend many years in Barton Prison.
"James didn't find out why Quest joined forces with Yuri." Mike's eyes looked ahead blankly. It was not that he was being controlled by Crowley, but that he was not interested in the content of the message. " We found the reason." Mike touched his throat, "Is there any water? I'm a little thirsty."
Zach smiled and stood up, got a glass of water, and handed it to the devil.
After Mike drank, he put down his water glass and continued to pass on the message, "When Quest's project was first acquired, Smith's people contacted Quest and made a request to acquire the supply channels for agricultural products in the southern district."
Zach's fingers clasped around the cup, Smith wanted farmers and land.
Mike took another sip and continued, "Quist declined."
What a good start for today ends here. (..)
