Zach's unprofessionalism has been completely exposed in front of Nuo. At the beginning of the commission, Zach made a serious mistake—he did not communicate in detail with the real client, Old Hardy! Most basically, how did Hardy Sr. determine that Woody was missing? What's the reason
It's not too late to make up for it, but before Zach goes to Old Hardy's house again, Zach still needs the guidance of a real detective.
"You said this Woody might be a member of a punk band?" asked No. The social network of the client that should have been understood at the beginning of the commission was only now brought up by the real detective.
Zach nodded, "Benjamin thinks so." The vampire was self-aware and frowned, "We don't have time to confirm."
As a consolation, Nuo patted Zach on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter, at least we should have a suspect who also uses 'Valmina'." Nuo smiled, "It seems very simple."
"Do you think the band members are related to Woody's incident?" Zach reasonably questioned, "We don't even know the whereabouts of the other people yet."
"Are you missing?" Nuo thought for a moment. Since they were in the same band, their relationship should be very close. He just made a judgment based on common sense. If Woody is a guy who only cares about his own enjoyment, there is nothing he can do about it...
Now, Zach went deeper without even knowing the identities of the other band members, a classic rookie detective mistake.
But it was already such a bad start, and Nuo could only continue, "The missing people may not be just Woody."
This kind of inference is not rigorous, but the only clue that Zach can give is 'Valmina'. Everything that extends from this must be considered. The key is that there are no other clues that can be eliminated! Everyone needs to understand this.
Nuo raised his eyebrows, "Most rock bands have at least three people, drummer, vocalist, and rhythm." He looked at Zach. "You heard their original tapes, how many people did you hear?"
Zach twitched his lips, "It was very noisy, that was the only thing I heard." As if to show that Grande was not too incompetent, "Benjamin thought they were imitating goths, and the imitation was very poor."
"Then we must add an electronic keyboard." Nuo surprisingly didn't understand anything. However, his attitude towards this form of music seems to be the same as Zach's, "If you ask me, this is something that darkens all forms of music, even classical. It means they need enough timbre to enrich the melody."
The vampire couldn't really get a word in except listening. But it does explain why Zach was initially attracted to goth bands on the radio - being as old as Zach.
Nuo smiled and looked at Zach, "Have you confirmed with your friends at the police station whether there have been any similar people missing or accident reports recently?"
Hardy Sr. was unwilling to report the crime. There is a hidden secret that he himself is not clean. Of course, it may also be Woody's own problem. This requires Zach to go to the old Woody to confirm.
As for the others, it is still unknown and cannot be determined. But one thing is certain, the crime of carrying contraband is much lighter than personal safety. Unless there are any special circumstances, if other people also disappear, without Old Hardy's own network of gray career, he can find other ways and can only choose to report the case.
Zach shook his head reluctantly. "I didn't ask."
Nuo picked up the receiver and looked at Zach with a smile. "Looking outside of other people's cases is time-consuming and you should request it from your friends in the police department now."
Nuo made it quite obvious that James was from the homicide squad. According to this young detective's character, it was not easy for him to look through other people's files.
As for why Nuo didn't find his friends in the police station. Remember, No's friend in the police station is Chief Colon! Wouldn't it be more convenient! But think about it again, what is Nuo planning? He hopes to use 'Valmina' to change the ban on another drug lord - Smith! Seriously, can you trouble the police chief with something like this? !
Zach nodded. After thinking about his words, he found out that it was another troublesome matter, and James would most likely reject it because it had nothing to do with the alien race. Zach was going to use a completely different statement from Nuo. He would no longer mention Benjamin's accident, but would exaggerate it!
It's best to make James feel that if the 'Valmina' thing is not solved, the entire Barton alien race will be a walking bomb!
In this way, James had to help.
Not allowing Zack to think about his words, Nuo had already packed up and was about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Zach asked doubtfully, still holding the receiver and not dialing the number. There is really no need to avoid suspicion. The encounter between the three people in Mrs. White's destroyed home has already explained a lot of problems. There is actually no secret to hide between the three.
Nuo smiled, holding a 'Valmina' in his hand, "I will go and ask around. The circle of underground bands is not big. There is no reason why only one band has purchasing channels. If you are lucky and spend some money, you can You can find out who their boss is."
Zach nodded, Nuo's goals were understandably more focused on his future. However, Nuo still added, "Don't worry, I will also ask about Woody and his band. I hope the other members are safe and sound."
Nuo thought for a while and added again, "When you ask your friends in the police station for help, try to expand the scope of your search. 'Varmina' is our only clue. Any related cases may become useful information."
Zach agreed and looked at the time, "How about we communicate on the phone tonight and gather information again."
Nuo nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something again and pointed to the blood bottle in the iron box with some hesitation, "This thing..." He frowned because he had been very hesitant from the time he listened to Zach's story. In addition to doubts about the act of collecting blood, there are also reasons why vampires are repelled by this thing. Nuo knew this was to embarrass the vampire, why? under.
"I think you should check it out, maybe there will be another clue."
Zach smiled bitterly. Have you ever been taught not to drink water from strangers? Well, for vampires, don't 'eat' red liquid casually. The safest food always comes from living creatures. As for food from unknown origins being sealed in bottles, vampires resist from the bottom of their hearts.
"I will." Zach twitched the corner of his mouth. He decided to make complete preparations to unseal the sealed blood bottle, just in case.
What could a vampire's examination be? The only way to identify the blood is to identify the owner of the blood just like Alpha identifies the smell.
There's a strange inversion of cause and effect in Zach's resistance. He knew that once he opened it, he was going to try it. I mean, taste. (..)
