This is the second time Grande has been occupied by the police. Both times, Mr. Perls, the chief of the Southern District, personally led the team. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Grande's 'story' to police was simple. After dinner, the two brothers, the masters of Grande, left Grande on some matter that was directly omitted from the confession (a visit to Smith), and Grande was plundered.
Two women, Louise and Alice, witnessed the entire process, and also witnessed the kidnapping of Hank, the only elder in the family.
Alice was useless in front of the police. She could only stare at the police officer who was taking the confession with a pair of eyes shrouded in nervousness and fear. It was a continuation of the fright she had received before the police came. The police officers were so dissatisfied with this that they stopped taking confessions and acted like the big brother next door in front of the scared girl.
Louise was somewhat helpful and described the murderer's appearance. Well, that's it in summary, "Medium height, wearing a hood, man, license plate? It's too dark, I didn't see it."
As for Matthew, who came to 'work' just before noon after spending the regular Sunday morning holiday (Matthew had to accompany his father Joseph to worship), it was even more useless.
This honest young wolf did not participate in the dinner plan last night. Now that he saw Grande being occupied by the police and in a mess, he really thought something terrible had happened. Troubled by feelings of self-blame, he kept following Alpha, begging for forgiveness.
The police refused to leave, and Benjamin couldn't explain, so he could only let Matthew follow impatiently.
Danny didn't show up at all. There was no problem with his identity as 'Danny Firefly' before. But now that the real Yinghuo is here, it would be a very troublesome matter if anyone digs deeper into it.
As time went by, Zach was clearly getting more and more depressed. The interior was occupied by police. The vampire's daily routine was severely disrupted, and he often saw Wes being used as a microphone and being bossed around by others. Zach was also a little helpless.
Helplessness is sympathy, Zach knows that Wes and Mel Sr. have a good relationship. The Grand Brothers' new truck was introduced by Mel Sr. What Zach said about liking the old man was not false. So Zach is now very aware of Wes's feelings of being 'bullied' by his colleagues and worrying about old Mel at the same time.
If old Mel's grandson still had some hope, Zach would certainly be willing to help, but it was impossible for Pers to ask for help. The only person who can make Grande and his gang of aliens mobilize is Weiss, who knows Grande very well.
Why. But unfortunately, Zach was warned countless times by James not to touch his friends! This made Zach hesitate. If you take the initiative to offer help, James will definitely misinterpret it into a bad conspiracy theory. Zach understands James' character and behavior, but it doesn't mean that Zach likes to have his character questioned by James.
The police's evidence collection was coming to an end, and it was noon. Pers, who was preparing to evacuate, walked towards Zach, who was leaning against Benjamin to hide from the sun next to the hammock. The director made a last-ditch effort, "Do you have any, any clues you want to tell me?"
Skull Skull was very professional, and it was a coordinated performance, leaving no clues that could be traced by the police. Again, none of Grande's witnesses were of any use, and Pells had every reason to be upset.
Zach's eyes were under his sunglasses, looking at Pers and the several police officers behind him without energy. Raising his hand, "On the table. Or under the table."
Pers frowned and dismissed the people behind him, "Say."
"Before we left last night, Grande withdrew from a, um... commission."
"Why quit." There is no point in pursuing Grande's hidden occupation. None of those West Side people have surnames that the South District Police Department can mess with. Pers could only maneuver around this mine.
"Can't say." Zach waved his hand and paused, "Believe me, if you are only bound by morality, facing the police. It's still you, Mr. Director, the law is naturally greater than morality. But this time the situation is a little different. I am bound by the law. ,can not say."
Pers reacted quickly and immediately raised his eyebrows, "Confidentiality agreement?"
Zach nodded listlessly.
Unexpectedly, Pers suddenly became angry and approached Zach instantly, lowering his voice, "What the hell are you doing! The police are not a cover for you to do those dirty things! You'd better not use our Southern District Police The Bureau is involved in something troublesome!"
Everyone wants to protect themselves, and no one wants to get into trouble. Pers was too smart.
Zach smiled slowly, "Believe me, you will be happy when I tell you this, Eisela will be happy, Mayor Anthony will be happy, and the entire city of Barton will be happy." Zach waved weakly Waving his hand, "Well, no one will be happy. But in the end, you will thank me for letting you get involved in this matter. This is the only thing that is certain."
Pers stared at the two black lenses on Zach's face and frowned. Zach's words were very contradictory.
If Asela is happy, the mayor will not be happy, and vice versa. The mayor's competition is not a cause for displeasure for the city of Barton at all. It is just a political struggle hidden under the city.
Zach's words can only confirm that Pers is talking about something that will affect the entire Barton! This was clearly not a ransacked funeral home! Pers began to realize something.
"Then what can you say to me? Client?"
Zach shook his head, "What I can tell you is that two parties came to Grande yesterday, and they met in Grande by chance and involuntarily."
The two parties are Jackson, who is already dead, and Herman.
Zach continued, "You can find it in my memo record that you sealed, but remember, you guessed it, the confidentiality agreement, so the party who was withdrawn from the commission by Grande will not appear. "
Pers opened his mouth, but Zach had already made it clear enough, "The party that quit is doing these things..."
Although depressed, Zach still seized the opportunity and interrupted Perls, "Mr. Director, I told you when you came here, I don't know who committed such a crime against Grande, so we Ask the police for help. You want to ask for clues, and I quote 'any clues'. So I gave it to you, whatever I can say." Zach waved his hand, "The inference is your police's business, there is no need to talk to this victim. said."
Pers looked at Zach, his sunglasses hid his eyes very well, but Pers himself also understood that for a guy like Zach, looking directly into the eyes would only lead to misdirection, so it is best to think without being affected!
Suddenly, Pers raised his eyebrows, and he realized that this call to the police was indeed just a 'prank'! A prank just to attract the police and uncover a bunch of Grande’s secret clients that cannot be made public! A certain customer is the truly important protagonist of the event that affects the entire city of Barton!
"Thank you for your cooperation!" Pers turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Zach stopped Perls, "A private request. You and I, as two people with no prejudices and no ill will, just a request between individuals."
Zach raised his personal banner of abandoning all social attributes. Perls, who was forced to shake hands with Zach before, could only curl his lips and say, "What."
"Let Wes stay. I have some personal matters that I need to talk to him about." Zach pursed his lips and looked at Wes, who was exuding a sense of fatigue. "Look at him, he needs to rest. I don't think this is an embarrassment. Please request."
Pers looked at the 'rookie' he had always hated and twitched his lips, "He's off work." (..)
