There was a small delay, but Zach and Benjamin still stood at the door of the witness Jason's house at around eight o'clock, which was probably a rented apartment.
As for the so-called crime scene, Zach just walked around and skipped it. Four or five days had passed, and there was nothing that could be discovered at all.
Zach listened carefully to the sounds in the house. This was a very good time. The adjustment after dinner had just ended, and all kinds of real nightlife was about to begin. As he hurried out before his master arrived, the vampire rang the doorbell.
"Who are you looking for?" The door didn't open, and Zach could hear breathing just behind the door.
Zach moved closer to the cat's eye, blinked, then raised his head and looked around.
The voice behind the door repeated, "Who are you looking for?" But Zach had already bent down and found a spare key under the carpet... I have to say that this is a good habit for people who live alone. And vampires abused this without any moral bottom line.
As Zach inserted the key into the lock, the door opened.
Jason, who was in his twenties, looked like a very strong young man. He pressed the door and glared at the guy holding his spare key, "Who are you! What are you doing..."
Zach curled his lips and pushed Jason away with one hand, entered the room on his own, threw the spare key into the basket on the counter by the door, and casually rummaged through the items in the basket.
"Hey! What are you doing..."
Jason, who had just stepped forward, was pushed away by Benjamin who was approaching. Benjamin, who was half a head taller than him, glanced at Jason and closed the door.
Zach picked up a car key from the basket and shook it at Jason, "Your car?"
The location here is on the east side of the transition zone between Back Bay and Paisley, and is already very close to Ogier. This is not Zach's philistine, but reality. Zach didn't think a young man living in a small apartment could afford a sports car.
Jason stepped forward and snatched the key from Zach's hand. There was anger in his tone, "Who are you!" He glanced at Benjamin who had already walked to the bedroom and did not dare to stop him. He walked to the phone at home, picked up the receiver, and glared at Zach, "Leave now! Otherwise I called the police!"
"Report it." Zach smiled and ignored it, and continued to look around other people's homes.
This is a weird apartment. It’s not furnishings or decorations, but objects. The sofa is ordinary and old, but the sofa cushions are new and high-end; it is so small that there is no dining room, but there is a marble dining table; in the crowded kitchen, there is a complete set of silver tableware that would make a vampire frown...
While Jason was still waiting for the phone dial to spin, Benjamin walked out of the bedroom with a stack of photos and waved them towards Zach. Jason buttoned up the phone and stared at the two people gloomily.
Zach took the photos and flipped through a few. The two young men above were smiling happily and seemed very happy.
Zach shook his head, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Jason, "I guess I should say, condolences?"
Jason rushed to Zach, grabbed the photo, and held it tightly in his hands.
Zach smiled sadly. "He had a beautiful smile, but it's a pity that even the best embalmers can't recreate that smile."
Jason stared at the two men who had inexplicably broken into his home. The two people who exposed their biggest secrets at an incredible speed said in a low voice, "Who are you!"
Zach smiled, and had nothing to hide, "We? Grande Funeral Home, at the same time. We are also the ones who accepted Mrs. White's commission to investigate the truth about his son's death."
Jason's breathing was disordered for a moment, and Zach paused. "I think there is nothing to investigate. You seem to know the complete truth." Zach sat on the sofa. "Please understand the plea of a grieving mother and let us get this over with."
Zach waved his hand and said, "Start talking."
The vampire is supposed to use the Eye of Enchantment, but for some reason, he doesn't.
The only sounds in the long silence were Benjamin's impatient pacing and Jason's breathing. Benjamin was avoiding sitting down for fear of getting sleepy. Zach wanted to grab Benjamin who was circling several times, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. It's not bad to create an oppressive atmosphere.
"There's nothing to say." Jason's eyes followed Benjamin around the apartment, and finally landed on Zach sitting on his sofa, still keeping his voice low.
Zach pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Okay, then we can do business." He stood up and smiled at Jason, "I only need to tell Mrs. White what she knows about her son's life. , just a lie, just like their family business, fine, solid cabinetry."
"This can at least answer Mrs. White's doubts about the change in her son's personality." Zach gestured to Benjamin to leave, then looked at Jason, "So the truth about his death, under the lie of this entire life, is really It’s not that important anymore.”
The vampire is not trying to steer the conversation in a certain direction, but to stimulate someone's heart.
Although Alice didn't see much, she could already confirm that Jason's testimony was a lie. Vampires are masters at playing with people's hearts. With the photos that Benjamin found as proof, he already knew that both Mrs. White's son and the Jason in front of him were living passive lies. Since life is already a lie, then it is not surprising that death is buried in the lies of people who also live a lie.
If the smile in the photo was real, it would build up to the most biting irony.
Benjamin didn't seem to receive Zach's signal and was still pacing. Zach helplessly pulled him towards the door.
"No!" Jason suddenly rushed in front of Zach and blocked the door, "You can't tell Mrs. White! You will ruin his life!"
Zach shrugged, "He's already dead." He pushed aside Jason, who was not thin, "There's no question of destruction or non-destruction."
Jason insisted on pushing away Zach's hand on the handle, and stood back to block the path of the two of them. He stared at Zach and pursed his lips.
Zach made a helpless expression, "Can you be reasonable?" Zach was stuck in front of Alpha, who was really preparing to break through violently. He glanced at Benjamin speechlessly, and then turned to Jason again, "I accept it. The commission requires something to be told to Mrs. White, either the truth about her son’s life or the truth about his death.”
Zach showed a smile and looked directly into Jason's eyes, "You choose one, which one?"
The vampire's tortured gaze didn't last long, and he was pulled aside in embarrassment by Alpha. Alpha pulled the vampire around the small apartment, and finally pushed Zach into the bathroom with a frown and closed the door.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Alpha lowered his voice, frowned and asked impatiently, "Wouldn't it be faster to just use the Charming Eyes?"
Zach straightened out the clothes that were wrinkled by Benjamin, frowned dissatisfied, and looked at Benjamin with some doubts in his eyes, "Benjamin, this is a very small group, the possibility of Blake Stone appearing in it, don't you think so?" Didn't you think of it?"
Benjamin was stunned. He really didn't expect that Alpha's thinking seemed to be affected in some way.
In the top circle of the West End, vampires have been exposed too much to Mrs. Quinn. Blake is also a very smart young man. Coupled with the special tightness of this small group, this has to make Zach deal with anyone who may be related. Be careful when using the Eye of Enchantment.
Outside the bathroom, there was the sound of opening the door, closing the door, locking the door, and then the sound of running away in a hurry. Grande's two brothers looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Pushing open the bathroom door, Jason's figure was of course gone. The keys to the apartment disappeared together with the car key that he couldn't afford. Zach stood by the window and waited for a moment. Jason drove his car on the street. The screeching sound of tires and the ground was heard, and he quickly disappeared.
Benjamin finally received Zach's eyes and violently ripped off the door lock.
Well, this isn't a bad situation, just follow, but the vampire has no way of predicting what he will find.
"You'd better not get lost." Zach pursed his lips after getting in the car, glanced at Benjamin, who was frowning, and frowned as well, "What's wrong with you? You look a little out of sorts."
Benjamin started the truck and shook his head but did not start it. "I don't know." After a pause, he turned around and squeezed his strong body between the seats into the back seat. "You drive, I need to rest for a while."
Zach's brows frowned even more, but without saying anything, he unbuckled his seat belt and moved to the driver's seat. Benjamin turned his head sideways and closed his eyes before starting the car.
Think about what Benjamin did today. There were normal funeral preparations in the morning and the funeral in the afternoon. Matthew and Zach went to accompany the girls. Benjamin and Louise took care of the affairs. After dinner, they went out with Zach. Benjamin seems to be deliberately not stopping himself to avoid appearing lazy. Is he really tired now
Zach decided to rush Walter's sample analysis process when he returned.
"Where is he driving?" The truck drove for about ten minutes, and Benjamin's voice sounded behind Zach's head. Under the roar of the old truck's engine and various mechanical parts, it was strange that Alpha could rest. . Benjamin twirled his fingers impatiently. If he was just 'no longer in a state' before, now he is obviously anxious.
Zach glanced at the gradually sparse buildings outside the car window and the gradually clearer tree shadows in front of him, "As Pai Siying continues to the northwest, we are about to enter the border of Newton. Are you okay? Are you tired? I can’t feel the excitement.”
"Me too." Benjamin kept adjusting his posture in the back seat.
There was a harsh friction sound, and the brakes under Zach's feet were stepped on to the bottom. Benjamin, who adjusted his posture, jumped forward without any accident, half of his body was stuck between the seats, "What are you doing!"
"Vampire." Zach said with a cold face, looking at the distance beyond the reach of ordinary people's eyes. Jason's car was completely submerged in the woods. "Your half-ancestor, Gangro (a clan in the Secret Alliance that rejects civilization, has shape-shifting ability).”
Alpha's skin instantly covered Benjamin's body, and his dark brown pupils shrank, but the only thing he saw was the disappearing shadow of the bat passing over the treetops. (..)
