Zach and Benjamin stood in front of the Grand's main entrance. Less than a minute after the Indian Hunter had walked away, two police cars stopped in front of them.
Zach raised his eyebrows at Benjamin, and they made a small bet on who would come.
There are only two options. The person from the North District Police Station who crossed the border is James Lance. The remaining one is the Southern District Director who once mercilessly told Grande that he would not make it easy for Grande.
The police were called last night and twice. The first time was before Zach and Benjamin came back. After deliberately running a few laps in the backyard, Louise got into a state of confusion, that is, after the skull Skoll ransacked Grande.
For some reason, this time there was no response from the Southern Police Department taking any action, including calls for illegal intrusion, kidnapping, robbery, and damage to other people's property.
So when Zach and Benjamin came back, they called the police again and got a surprising answer - we'll talk about it tomorrow.
Yes, when you call the police, the other party tells you, "We'll talk about it tomorrow."
The easier malicious guess is that the director of the Southern District Bureau, Pers, is incredibly cautious. But a more rational and idealistic guess is that the matter involves Grande, and the guys from the North District Police Station are paying attention, and the people from the South District have to wait for instructions.
Zach twitched his lips, he lost. Director Perls got out of the car and unexpectedly received a smile from Alpha. The middle-aged director frowned and said, "Don't smile at me! We are not that friendly!"
Several police officers followed him, including Wes, who looked tired and looked like he hadn't slept all night again. Director Pers is really a vindictive guy, and Zach should never choose his bet with a rational and positive attitude.
"You'd better get down to business! You're wasting my time, I asked you Grande..." While speaking sloppily, he stepped onto Grande's front porch. Director Perls squeezed past Grande's brothers without courtesy and stepped into the exhibition hall.
"What the hell!" Director Perls stared at the messy room, and his words changed direction, "What the hell happened here?!"
Zach didn't quite understand Director Perls's reaction at this time. He glanced at Benjamin and said, "Just call the police. Twice." Zach pursed his lips and said, "Grand was robbed."
"Is it true that the police were called?" Director Pers, who was staring at the room, asked as if unconsciously.
Zach frowned, "As you can see, it's true."
Director Perls raised his hand, as if he wanted to curse again, closed his open mouth, turned around sharply, and faced the people behind him, "Call a few more people over here! Quick!"
Zach began to realize what was going on. Does this director who is at loggerheads with Grande think that the call to the police last night was false? The vampire suddenly became deeply worried about the security of the South District where he had lived for nearly ten years.
Zach wanted to take the 'guest' indoors, but Director Pers grabbed him and said, "Don't fucking destroy the scene! Go to the backyard to talk!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, complied with the other party's request, walked off the front porch, and walked around the backyard, but he still said it in a nonchalant manner. "It's ruined the evening already."
All Zach has now is doubts, if the director who controls the security of the Southern District took Grande's call to the police as a joke. Why did you come now? You should have confirmed it last night by sending someone to take a look.
As for Chief Perls treating Grande's report as a joke, well, come to think of it, it's quite reasonable. Everyone still remembers it. How did Zach twist his words and play with the director-throwing out a bunch of big names and letting the director choose who he thought was the big tree behind Grande based on his preference!
If Grande really encountered any crisis, calling the police would probably be the least likely option, because it wouldn't be his turn to call the small Southern District Bureau.
Zack should actually be kinder to the director. Because even though it was already considered a prank, he still came over in person. At least it means that he still values Grande very much.
Director Pearce had a sullen face. He could only bear Zach's sarcasm and said in a calm voice, "Who did this?!"
Zach nodded to Benjamin, who was called by several police officers to cooperate, and he led Pers onto Grand's back porch, "This is the answer I hope your police can give me."
"Don't beat around the bush with me!" Pers glared at Zach, "Aren't you very unscrupulous, relying on someone behind you! Humph! You are so powerful, now you don't know who robbed you?!"
Zach raised his eyebrows and confirmed that the security of the people in the South Side was indeed in the hands of a worried-minded guy, "If I had known, I wouldn't have called the police."
The corners of Perls' eyes twitched, and he endured it for a long time before suppressing the curse that had reached his throat. He turned around without wanting to look at Zach and said nothing.
It was hard for Zach not to notice the fatigue on the director's face, and the dark circles under his eyes were obviously caused by lack of sleep.
The thing is actually very simple. Skull, the skull, leaked information to the 'General'. Grande's side, draw the police's attention. Zach doesn't need to worry about the rest. All the 'personnel matters' he can do have been completely achieved. He only needs to wait for the news that Herman is targeting Grande to spread among the people, and everyone's attention will naturally be attracted. Soon Soon, the city will be filled with uproar.
So Zach, who had nothing to do at this time, started looking for trouble for himself when an interesting guy came to Grande!
"Director Pearce." Zach sat on the bench on the back porch very naturally. "You look a little tired. Were you busy last night?"
Pers glanced at Zach. It wasn't that he didn't want to fulfill his police duties to this Grand master, but that his subordinates in Grand were currently doing such work, and Mr. Chief didn't want to talk to this annoying master. .
Pers was too lazy to answer Zach's question and stepped off the back porch to head towards the warehouse. Having spent half a day and one night in Grande, he was no stranger to Grande.
"Ah." Zack shook his head to himself, regardless of the fact that the other party didn't want to talk to him at all, "What am I talking about? It must be some important case that can make the director ignore a bad crime and work all night long, how could he do it to me? Said a mere funeral home owner."
Pers, who had just left the back porch a few steps away, turned around, glared at Zach and came back with a look of hatred on his face, "What the hell do you want to say!"
Zach looked at Perls's face with a smile, "What I want to say is, you'd better give me a reason that I can accept, and explain Grande..." Zach spread his hands and pointed to where he was. This land, the Grande, "would be considered a low priority, the reason why it was put aside all night long."
"Are you threatening me?"
"I am." Zach kept smiling, "Have you chosen the relationship behind Grande? Who is it with? Do you need me to repeat the options again so that you can re-compare the priorities of things?"
Consider this the emotional inertia of a vampire.
The sudden termination of the 'attack' against the Indian hunters did not make Zach feel completely comfortable after a night of irritation for the Sabbat 'Toledo'. Accidentally and without stopping, this emotion naturally extended to the second wave of outsiders in Grande on this Sunday morning. (..)
