"So." Zach raised his eyebrows. Under the firelight, his red eyes were no longer out of the ordinary. "You saw it. When did this happen?"
"I don't know! Do I look like a person who can afford a watch? Even in the middle of the night, when I'm peeing!" A homeless man said impatiently, although his expression was rich enough, which meant that he still maintained his personality. But he couldn't take his eyes away from the well-dressed gentleman - Zach.
In fact, he had no idea why he was talking to this gentleman. He hated rich people. Of course, all clean people are rich people, to him.
Zach nodded helplessly, "Then what did they do? Did you see it?"
"How do I know! I just peed!"
The vampire accepted this statement, "Okay, thank you." The red in Zach's eyes faded, he took out a Dole and handed it out. There was no need to cover up the process of his inquiry. Charming Eyes just implanted the impression that he had no ill intentions on these people. The vampire is willing to maintain this impression. This inquiry can be used as a relaxed conversation to prove the authenticity of this false impression. What a convenient ability.
"It was nice talking to you. Goodbye." Zach smiled at a group of homeless people, turned around and walked out with Benjamin Matthew. "Go there first and have a look. Maybe you can find something left behind." Zach looked around. , "James?"
The three aliens were searching around, "James Lance?"
The vampire's face fell and James was gone.
"I'll go look for it. You guys go to the beach and have a look." Zach frowned and concentrated on using the Charming Eye, making him ignore the movement around him. Except for the sense of smell, the humanoid Alpha's senses are not much higher than those of humans.
The information provided by the homeless man was scattered. Not much. Some people heard the crashing sound from the north, and some people saw people in tattered police uniforms wandering there... The last one saw two people burning things on the beach.
Watching Benjamin and Matthew walking towards the seaside, at the east end of the road, there are jumbled rocks standing on the gravel. When the city of Barton was developing this area. The hope was to turn this area into the Knoll Beach of the South District, but as a result, like the residential areas here, it was abandoned.
Zach walked towards the opposite place from Benjamin. The houses on both sides of the road began to become complete, and dim lights gradually came out. It was obvious that this was the construction process at that time. Going west, there are more completed houses, and of course there are also many rough houses without decoration. And go east. The worst thing is that it only has a foundation, and even homeless people can't stand it.
Zach really didn't know where James would wander to, so he had no choice but to randomly choose a family and knock on the door.
Red covered his eyes again. The people here were not very friendly, so the vampire had no choice but to do so.
James' path began to become clear, and some people saw the detective's path. Zach followed the direction and searched. Then he frowned. Zach was getting closer and closer to Walter's house.
"You!" The woman's voice sounded anxious. "It's you!"
Zach turned his head. The homeless woman he had met once huddled behind the dark wall, with only one head exposed, looking even more nervous.
"Is it you?" Zach forced a smile, "What's the matter?"
"Devil!" the woman saw Zach respond, with good intentions. She quickly rushed out of the wall and stood in front of Zach. She was still wearing the same sweater that Zach had seen and her hair was still tangled and messy. She waved her hands excitedly. "I saw it! I saw it! That devil!"
Zach had already noticed that this was a little different from what she said when he saw this woman last time. The last time he heard it, "What did you see?" Zach asked with a smile, and at the same time took out his own wallet.
"The Undead!" The woman rushed to Walter's house and pointed to the opened window, "Fifty dollars to see what's inside! He listened to my words and wanted to find out the truth! He is a good man! But the Undead jumped out of it Come out! Hit your head and kill fifty yuan!!" The woman trembled, "Then the devil also jumped out! The undead ran away and came back! The devil and the undead escaped with fifty yuan!!"
Zach doesn’t understand, we do. The dead spirit is Chapman or Wander, depending on his expression, and the fifty dollars refers to James who only gave her fifty dollars. Devil, this is the only reference Zach understands - Walter.
Zach opened his mouth. He had to pay attention to the fact that the guy named 'Fifty Dollar' in this crazy woman's mouth was killed.
"Isn't fifty dollars so tall and strong..." Zach described James' appearance.
"It's him!" The woman was excited. She was excited because she finally saw the evidence of the devil and no longer just heard it.
Zach shook his head, walked under the opened window, stared at the trace of being dragged, sniffed, and raised his eyebrows. James was not dead, but a guy was dying. The smell of rotten flesh is very fresh, mixed with a strong medicinal smell.
"Fifty dollars is not dead." Zach showed a smile. For some reason, he felt that he should tell this woman the news.
Zach took out a photo, which was the photo of Chapman that James had shared with them when he arrived, "Dead Soul, is this what it looks like?"
The woman came closer to the photo, and then her face changed drastically, "The undead is a policeman! Ah! The devil summoned an undead policeman!"
This was confirmation. Zach put away the photo, "Thank you. This place is very dangerous. You should stay away. You don't want to be revenged by the devil." The vampire was not interested in speaking for Walter. In fact, he was very angry that Walter actually Secretly taking in the shadow people, after the blast and his wife left, no one took care of these alien souls!
Okay, Zach is being extreme, Crowley is taking care of it, but she just isn’t controlling it.
The woman's body trembled. She seemed to have just now realized that she had witnessed the entire process of the devil's murder. She quickly backed away tremblingly, "You, Mr. One Hundred! You have to be careful!" and then disappeared. Wonderful woman.
Zach shook his head and looked inside the window. Walter seemed to be walking in a hurry and didn't even close the window again. But Zach no longer worried about James' life safety. There was only a small amount of blood on the ground, and Zach had already identified the smell of James. This was an unusual amount of time for the detective to bleed in front of Zach. Looking at the blood stains on the lower corner of the window, Zach already thought about what happened.
"This is it!" Matthew's voice was a little excited, looking at his Alpha expectantly, waiting for approval.
Benjamin nodded and looked at Zach, who was standing in a daze under the window, "Have you found this place too?"
"Yeah." Zach nodded and smiled helplessly, "How did you find him?"
"The smell of gasoline." Matthew was a little excited. "Under the rocks, we found the burned police uniforms, and the residual smell followed here."
Benjamin twitched the corner of his mouth, "The smell of gasoline is very strong, there is nothing to be happy about."
Matthew said oh and stood aside honestly without saying anything. Zach patted Matthew's shoulder comfortingly. At least Zach didn't notice the smell of gasoline. Matthew was able to capture it in one day, which was pretty good.
"What's going on here." Benjamin frowned. Where Zach stood, the smell was very obvious. There was James, Walter, and the smell of decay mixed with the smell of alcohol and drugs.
"It's just like what you smelled." Zach's expression was a little strange. He couldn't fully understand the development of the matter. "For some reason, Walter and Wandel kidnapped James and left." Zach blinked Blinking, after saying it, it became even more incredible.
Benjamin pushed Matthew forward, "Remember these smells, and you will find them next." He and Zach began to check around Walter's house.
Matthew nodded honestly and felt the smell around him. He wanted to meet Alpha's expectations.
The truck drove onto Route 27, heading north, and soon entered the North District. Benjamin stopped the truck and said with a cold face, "Then?"
Matthew, who was sitting in the back seat, had a crying look on his face, and his brain was in chaos. In fact, just when they left the desolate residential area, he had already lost the clue of the smell. He could only vaguely feel that they were heading to the North District. of.
Then after entering the North District, the gang gathering areas to the east and the factories to the west, all kinds of mixed smells poured into the young wolf's nose, and he was completely lost.
"Then." Benjamin urged again.
Matthew anxiously opened the car door, jumped out of the car, and ran back and forth on the empty road, stretching his head and smelling left and right. He pursed his lips, and his nostrils bulged and contracted rapidly.
Zach held back his laughter, "Benjamin, is this okay with you?"
"Shh!" Benjamin's expression changed in an instant, "Don't let him hear it." The fluff on Alpha's face began to show, and the raised nose twitched slightly. The down quickly faded away, and Benjamin regained his cold and disappointed expression. He put his head out and shouted to Matthew, who was about to lie on the ground, "That's enough! We are wolves! Not dogs!"
Matthew walked to the van with a sad face, lowered his head, and sat back in the back seat silently, "I'm sorry. I let you down."
Benjamin snorted heavily and drove the truck again with a very clear direction, "Watch and study hard."
Zach raised his eyebrows, he would not expose Benjamin's little tricks, and reminded him of the business, "Drive slowly, we should give James and Chapman more time to spend together."
Benjamin changed gears and continued to educate his young wolf, "The most critical thing is elimination. You have to peel off those interfering factors and distinguish what you are..."
The vampire's lower lip dug slightly into his teeth, trying to stop himself from laughing. Back to business, about what Zach said about giving James and Chapman more time together. Remember what Zach said to James in the office, "You should be grateful. This is the power that can give people who have gone astray the right to choose another chance."
Of course, James retorted, saying that this was the 'power' of aliens.
For Zach, although it was unexpected, the current development of things couldn't make him happier. Let James experience it for himself. When he is in it, is this the privilege of a second choice worth being grateful for, or is it power? (..)
