I don’t know if James achieved the purpose of coming to Grande this time, so he left with a strange expression. When he left, he didn't take away his southeastern case folder and left it in Grande.
This should be a very straightforward explanation of the police's attitude towards this case - throw it away.
The lack of any clues, plus the fact that the characters involved were gang members from the southeast, all contributed to this disappointing result for the North District Police Department. Of course, Zach would not judge anything, and he was not in the mood. Our vampire is more concerned about the possibility of having a 'stalker'.
Benjamin, who was supposed to observe 'Cook's Kitchen' with Alice, was pulled off while Zach sought comfort.
"So what!" Benjamin sat at his desk, very impatient. The time wasted now is related to whether Alpha can judge whether what 'Cook' cooked today is suitable for his taste. Every meal before Thursday Even Alpha wanted to eat the food as he pleased!
"Someone discovered your route of action, that's all." Benjamin said very specifically, "Did you leave any evidence of blood collection? Or was your process of blood collection being seen?" Benjamin waved his hand impatiently, " I don’t think you’re even remotely alert.”
Comfort arrives.
Zach raised his eyebrows, fully agreeing with Benjamin's words.
Is it possible for a vampire to be seen wandering the dark streets looking for prey? Of course it is possible, no one says that any living thing must sleep at night! So it's really not worth making a fuss about finding a decent man wandering around in the solemn night by coincidence.
The key content is whether the process of vampires eating and storing food is seen.
This vigilance comes from instinct and does not count as self-confidence. But Zach recalled the whole process of last night. The dark alley, the indoor bar, and the Charming Eyes all ensure the safety of this process. It's impossible for anyone to know exactly what Zach did.
Zach frowned again, "But obviously, this is an overly curious guy." Zach helplessly looked through the photos left by James for Benjamin. "'He', if he just saw me, he obviously went to confirm what I had done."
Benjamin looked at a photo and pursed his lips, "Then 'he' is a 'curious person' who doesn't know the seriousness of things." Benjamin pursed his lips when he saw a guy with a naked butt on the street. Turning away his eyes, "'He' did not focus on uncovering what you did, but instead..." Benjamin clicked his tongue. "Tsk, it's time to play."
"Something happened." Because he killed two people.
No, nothing happened. Because even James 'lost' the case in Grande. Zach frowned, looking depressed.
The depression came from Zach's hope that the police would catch this person and save himself trouble. It's a nuisance, but like the fly on the corner of the table, it's no real threat. But it just makes people with mysophobia unhappy.
Benjamin hurriedly returned to the second floor. With his raised pointed ears, he could hear the fat 'Cook' making the opening remarks on the TV. "Are you still going out at night?"
"I'm hesitating." Zach thought for a while, "Should I at least avoid this time? I don't want to run into James by chance."
It’s no surprise, right? Although he left the case folder in Grande, James tonight, no. It's early tomorrow morning, and there's at least an 80% chance that they'll go to the southeast for surveillance. There is a 10% chance that his partner Coulson will also go with him. It depends on how much influence the 'General' has over Coulson.
Zach felt that he shouldn't cause trouble for himself, since the food reserves were almost there anyway.
"Then why bother." Benjamin had already stood up. As he was about to leave, he caught sight of something from the corner of his eye, "What is that?"
Zach followed his gaze and said, "Oh, the letter sent to Grande, is it yours?"
Alpha curled his lips and left.
Zach shook his head, picked up the letter that had been ignored, looked at the altered 'Grand', pursed his lips and tilted his head.
Turning the letter over and pressing it on the table, he ran his fingers across the seal, then opened the envelope with two fingers and reached in. When it came out again, there was a piece of folded paper sandwiched between it.
Zach held the envelope and shook it curiously. There seemed to be nothing but the letter paper. Zach opened the letter, and as soon as he read the first line, his face fell.
"Benjamin!" Zach held the letter and called Alpha who had just stepped onto the second floor.
You could clearly hear Alpha sighing on the stairs. After a while, he sat back at the desk and looked at Zach, who was holding the letter, with an unkind expression.
Zach didn't respond. His expression changed several times while reading the letter. Then he put the letter in front of him, pushed it to Benjamin, and said something a little out of the ordinary, "I have a fan."
Benjamin tugged at the corner of his mouth, reluctantly picked up the letter that was pushed in front of him, looked at the first line of words, and read out, "Slow down the sharpness, Toledo." Benjamin frowned and glanced at Zach, no Speak again and continue reading.
After reading the letter, Benjamin reached for the opened envelope and carefully identified the postmark on the stamp - the location and time. Then he frowned and looked at the case folder James left here.
The meaning is obvious.
Wait, let’s start with the content of the letter.
In the letter, apart from using the surname 'Toledo' to completely grab Zach's attention, the content of the letter was very, uh, thought-provoking.
The writer calls himself 'a boy' at the end. 'Boy' describes Zach in idealized terms on Monday morning - make no mistake, Monday morning is the early morning when Sibella and John stayed up all night studying the camera, which is also the early morning when Zach went out to stock up on food for the first time, and It wasn't James who brought the case early this morning.
'Boy' describes Zach's blood-soaking spree as 'a hero punishing the bad guys'.
Zach was able to learn from the letter that the first person he had taken blood from was the man who had snatched the Boy's toys at the General Bar on Dongfang Santiao Street. Zach's second target for blood collection, two streets away, was a man who had insulted the 'boy's' intelligence. Zach's third blood target was three streets away to the south, and he had beaten 'boys'... until the last one!
It's pretty obvious, right
James' case folder, the persons covered by the case, and the subject of Zach's blood collection early this morning overlapped, which led Zach to conclude that there was a 'curious person' who had mastered his whereabouts. And this letter overlaps with the target of Zach’s blood collection the day before! Still accurate traversal formula one by one!
"Is it the same person?" Benjamin summed it up for us. (..)
