The destructive nature of the explosion was about to begin, and James suddenly shut up.
Louise walked past James with squinting eyes and shook her head without commenting, seemingly helpless, and then looked at Zach without wanting to care about James, "We have a letter, I think it might be For you."
Zach looked at Louise and then James with a slightly curved corner of his mouth, feeling inexplicably better. After all, James is still a simple guy, and his prejudice against foreign races makes him habitually ignore Grande's life-saving grace, but Louise's shot (saving James from Ravenci), he Cannot be ignored.
Who would have thought that the only one in Grande who could cure James would be Louise.
A letter was handed to Zach. Zach glanced at it and saw that he didn't make any comments. James jumped in first again, but the words were addressed to Louise.
The detective suppressed the emotions that had just been forcibly blocked, and his voice was a little gloomy, with a not-so-strong questioning tone, "Louise, what's the letter? Why didn't you tell me before?!"
"Why should I tell you?" Louise rolled her eyes at James, "Are you Grande?"
James was choked, clenched his fists, and glared at Zach, his tone was many times tougher, "What letter!"
Zach turned the envelope back and forth. There was no return address and no specific title. The recipient only had the altered 'Grande' written on it.
James ignored him and looked at Louise with doubts in his eyes.
Louise spread her hands and said she didn't know, "In the morning, when I was waiting for the decorator, I had nothing to do, so I went to get it." Louise curled her lips and glanced at James, "I called and asked Hank. He said everyone he knew was dead and no one wrote to him."
This means that in Grande, although the ingredients are complex, no one is likely to receive the letter. In the case where the recipient is ambiguous, only Zach, the owner of Grande, is eligible to receive the letter.
Zach raised his eyebrows, still looking back and forth at the envelope. Judging by the postmark, it was from the North District. Zach couldn't think of a reason for receiving the letter.
"Do you want to open it or not?" James urged at an inappropriate time.
Zach glanced at James. It was indeed curious that Grande received the letter, but there are different types of curiosity. For example, Zach was simply curious. James, on the other hand, was obviously full of malicious curiosity.
Zach was not prepared to satisfy James's malicious curiosity, so he threw the letter in his hand on the bench and looked at Louise. With a serious look, he asked, "How were you today? Did the people from the decoration company say anything?"
This is Zach using Grande's private conversation to ignore James.
Discussion of the case in the photo can take place, but Zach is under no obligation to do so when James' biased belief is that Zach 'did it'. Let it dry first.
"They came up with some interesting plans." Louise naturally understood what Zach meant and smiled, "They said that Grande is already the only traditional funeral owner in Barton. Since it is already the only one, the traditional structure does not need No more complying..." Louise thought for a moment. "They drew some rough pictures. I'll show them to you."
"No!" James, who expected that he would be ignored for a long time, shouted at this time. Staring at Louise gloomily, "I've been waiting all afternoon! I don't want to waste any more time here! You!" He pointed at Zach and then at the photo, "You have to explain to me what this is!"
Although the tone of his words was still full of malice, it was not an accusation, but a request for an explanation. It's progress.
Zach knew that this was James' limit, so he smiled and waved to Louise, "I'll take a look at it tonight." Then he stood up, packed up a pile of photos, and motioned to James in the direction of the office. He tilted his head and hesitated for a while. He picked up the envelope that was put aside and entered the room behind James.
Sitting down in the office where guests and hosts should stay, Zach put the letter aside and picked up the photo again, "What do you want me to explain?"
"Tsk!" James tutted.
This is indeed a difficult question. Zach said before that all he did was 'stun' two people. Even in James' opinion, it was the cause of death. Well, at least it was one of the reasons, but for Zach To me, this is nothing more than the simplest denial. If a vampire wants to stun someone, then that person will never die, that's what it means.
If this issue continues to be entangled, it is impossible for the two people, each holding their own reasons, to make any progress.
Zach waited for a while, but before James responded, he curled his lips and said, "At least, you have to tell me the contents of the case."
James glanced at Zach and spoke reluctantly, "I received a report in the early morning." James looked a little irritated, "Because the location of the case is in the southeast..."
Zach raised his eyebrows, guessing what he said next meant that the police didn't want to take care of it.
Sure enough, "The people in the bureau don't want to worry about it." James' eyes were full of malice, but Zach could actually feel that the malice was not directed at him! How rare!
"When we reported the crime, we made it clear that there were two bodies, but the case was not transferred to the homicide department!!" Do you know who James is maliciously targeting? It's the Barton Police Department where he works! In the case where a corpse appeared, because the location was in the southeast, we didn’t even bother to go through the formal procedures!
Zach frowned, this was not something to be happy about.
Think about it, what Zach requires of James is fairness. It was just asking him to treat Grande, a family inhabited by a foreign race, fairly as a citizen of Barton. Then, seeing that the southeast, which is at least the place where human citizens of Barton live, is being treated unfairly, what should Zack be happy about.
"In the end, we knew that the cause of this case was 'General'!" James said with anger in his tone, "'General' called Coulson and just asked about the progress of the case! Guess what?!"
Zach didn't respond to the unanswerable question.
"We in the homicide team don't even know that something like this happened!" James slammed the table and breathed heavily.
Zach looked at James and couldn't tell what he felt. But the only thing that can be confirmed is that James' emotional intelligence is too low, and his emotions will be affected, transferred, and superimposed by various things. After all, it is still a sign of immaturity.
Obviously, the detective came to Grande to question him with anger towards the police station, and then turned his anger on Grande. As soon as he got the slightest clue, he immediately exploded and said, 'You did it! 'Such willful words come.
Zach waved his hand, "Okay, James, you haven't talked about the case yet, focus on it." (..)
