In Benjamin's warehouse, wolf cub Matthew is cleaning up the bedroom that John has occupied for several days under Alpha's instruction. The three suitcases belong to James, Benjamin and Matthew respectively, and they should contain equipment for going to the Comic Con.
Zach carried a pile of information given by Crowley, walked along the stairs, and appeared in the bedroom space on the second floor. There was no surprise, only Matthew said hello to the Grand boss, the other two tried their best to ignore Zach.
Zach shook his head and walked towards the two of them. He put down a pile of information first, then picked up the snacks Louise sent and looked around, "It looks good. Is it delicious?"
No one paid attention, Zach hesitated, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.
Still ignored.
In the past, vampires eating real food would attract onlookers, but now, times have changed. Zach pursed his lips, shook his head, and spat out the tasteless food, "Let's not be so childish. Benjamin ignored me, I can understand it. James, what did I do to you again?"
Zach has already stated the goal of the conversation. Benjamin curled his lips and said it had nothing to do with him. He waved his fingers for Matthew to continue cleaning up. He left the bedroom, probably to lie down in the hammock.
James originally wanted to leave, but Benjamin gave him a glare before leaving, which meant, 'How dare you try to lure him here. '
James remained in the bedroom sullenly, forced to face Zach.
James didn't need to be so gloomy. Zach looked at the detective and shook his head with a complicated expression. Then he adjusted his mood and smiled, "Seeing that you and Benjamin get along well, I feel a little relieved."
This is talking about the 'cat fight' that Benjamin just lost yesterday.
James twitched his lips, shifted his gaze not wanting to look at Zach, and did not respond. But convenient. Randomly scanning his eyes, he glanced at the pile of information that Zach brought, and the two words 'Medical Records' were printed on the information directly above. James suddenly became alert, his eyes twitched, and he immediately shifted his gaze again.
Why? Because, apparently, that's what Zach was really saying.
Unfortunately it was too late, Zach picked up the information with a smile on his face. "Oh! You saw that! Well, let me talk about this."
It was as if James wanted to talk about it! Zach's usual skill is fancy theme cutting.
Ignoring the irritability on James' face, Zach sat down opposite him and opened the medical record, "His name is Brian."
James already knew that he could not avoid it. He glanced at Zach gloomily and could only seek some comfort from the bad situation, "What did you do to Amelia?"
Zach raised his finger. Daggering in front of James, "You are mistaken, this is not from Amelia." Zach raised his eyebrows, "In fact, I have some understanding of what you went through with Amelia. , well, 'tortured'."
James frowned, he didn't understand what Zach meant.
"A little suggestion." Zach waved his hand. "Emilia already knows about your relationship with Grande. She is more receptive than you think. As a psychiatrist who has close relations with aliens, you should make good use of every treatment time. She will treat you better." Talking can be a good guide. You shouldn’t waste it with silence.”
James stared at Zach, the corner of his mouth twitching.
He was already prepared and told Zach that there were clues there in Amelia. Zach and Amelia can be expected to talk. Knowing Zach well enough, James knew that most of the conversations between the two would use him as an opening, and then get to the point.
Zach added, "In fact, I should have told you a long time ago. Amelia knows what I am. Therefore, our communication is equal, you can rest assured."
James frowned, which meant that many of his secrets were being revealed in front of Amelia.
But he failed to think about the impact this would have on his relationship with Amelia, because at the moment, there was something even more upsetting to James. This is the result in front of him. Zach once again dictated James' life, telling him what he should do and what he shouldn't do...
Zach was very self-conscious, looked at James' expression, tilted his head, "It's just a suggestion, you can listen to it or not."
"I don't need your advice." James said gloomily, "I don't have anything to treat. Anthony forced me to go to Amelia's place!"
This sentence made Zach feel a little uncomfortable. He didn't want to continue to press James. "Oh, really?" Zach shook the information in his hand, "This is what Crowley just gave me."
James' body stiffened. I've said it a long time ago, James' PTSD is demonic.
It was impossible for Zach to ignore these signs: his absolute rejection of demons for no reason, Georgina's collapse when she reported the crime after being kidnapped, and just now, when Crowley was still in Grande, James abnormally did not take the first step. It was time to question Zach about whether he did anything to Amelia, but he hid with Benjamin.
"While at the police station, Chapman passed the news to Crowley." Zach fiddled with a pile of information. "This is Crowley's result. Crowley is still very fond of Grande being framed. Heartfelt. I have to say that Crowley helped a lot... "
Zach kept saying, deliberately, 'Crawley... Crowley...' James' body stiffened, softened, stiffened, softened... Zach did it on purpose.
"That's enough!" James slapped his thigh heavily, "Don't say her name in front of me again!"
Zach curled his lips and stopped saying 'Crowley', "Then let's talk about Emilia." Zach flipped through the medical records and gestured to James, "It's actually a pity, Emilia Say she has clearly told you that she has what you want, but you did give up." Zach looked at the contents of the medical record, "I'm sorry, I can understand you, including that you don't want to reveal this person's information to me. s reason."
While at Amelia's place, wasn't there a question that was raised twice - why James wanted to conceal the information he saw about the sender.
Emilia used a dialectical argument-James remained silent about many things because it involved Zach and aliens.
Zach didn't understand it for a while, but after Emilia used the consultant on the case that ended in vain as a reminder, he understood it.
James is the scale. On both sides are Grande, Zach, the representative of the alien race, and on the other side is his place of work, the police detective.
The information is James' weight. The weight placed on Zach's side cannot be transferred to the police. The reason will not be explained. This is why James would remain silent to many.
On the other side of the scale, can the weight placed on the police station be transferred to Zach
Recall what James often said to Zach, "None of your business!"
This is good. This means that in James's mind, he has carefully drawn the boundaries between aliens and humans, carefully judged what is related to aliens, and must inform Zach, and what has nothing to do with the funeral home in the South District. Katsuki 'civilians' don't need to know.
Zach read out a certain paragraph from the medical record, "Due to the accidental fire in Barton Nursing Home, the patient went through the discharge procedures and was transferred to his home for recuperation. He was assigned to the Browning Clinic for follow-up counseling and treatment."
This was the result. Zach paused and said, "I have to ask you something." He looked at James and said, "You already concluded that Brian has a mental problem early yesterday morning, right?"
James was silent for a long time, and took a deep breath as if giving up. "I was watching you in the early morning of that day. You never showed up." It was the early morning when Grande received the second letter yesterday, "I saw When someone was traveling early in the morning. I didn’t know if he would be in danger, so I stepped forward to stop him.”
Zach opened the file in the information and pointed to a photo of Brian, "Is that him?"
James frowned and nodded, "Wearing children's pajamas." He continued, "When I warned him that it was dangerous nearby and it was best to leave quickly and go home, he said to me, 'Don't worry, there are red The hero with the eyes is punishing the bad guys and there is no danger.'"
Zach tilted his head.
James' expression faded. This is not a good thing, it is just a deeper depression. "When I told him that I was a policeman and he should listen to me, he said to me, 'The police are all bad people. The police have stopped my hero from coming.' "
This narrative is extremely heavy.
James continued, "He started, pushing me. I told him it was an assault and he better stop and I would arrest him, and he said, 'You can't, I'm mentally ill and the law will protect me, I hate it. You hate the police, but you can't do anything to me.'"
Zach nodded, something becoming clear. With such a conversation, James could no longer leave the second letter in Grande's mailbox alone because of the 'red-eyed hero'. After reading the letter, James no longer harbored any ill will toward Zach's character, and concluded that Zach was the mastermind.
The essence is here, if Zach is not the mastermind, then this person who is protected by law and the police cannot do anything to him is the mastermind.
The key word is, the police can't do this to him.
Of course, the police can't do anything to Zach.
Let's put ourselves in James's shoes, we hope, who is the mastermind. Anyway, the bad guys will get away with it, so do we hope the mastermind is a foreign race or a mental patient
The location of the case is in the southeast. With the 'General' pressing Detective Coulson to give a result, we, standing in James's position, are going to advance the incident.
Oh, tell the 'general', a madman has messed with you people in the southeast, we can't do anything to him, because the law protects madmen, you can only endure it, if you touch him, the police will kill you, it's that simple.
Or, tell the 'general' that your colleagues in the gray professional circle did it. Do you want to solve it yourself, or do you want the police to intervene
James' scale, do you understand how James defines the weight of this case? This is an incident in human society. This is the weight of the police on the balance. It is helpless but necessary to put it on the side of the police. Something Zach didn't need to know.
The fairness of the world has been out of balance in this incident. All James can do is to balance his own balance. Returning to his essence, he is still a police detective.
We may think that James learned bad things from Zach and began to know how to deconstruct facts, and he succeeded!
Remember, in Grand's office yesterday, James used the incident of aliens in human society as the basis to prove that Zach was the mastermind with reasonable evidence, so that Zach himself could not refute and was voluntarily arrested.
Yes! Please revisit yesterday’s scene! The protagonist is James! That 'trembling with anger', that 'flushing with anger'... I'm afraid it was the excitement of James finally being on top of a vampire for the first time!
"When I suggested that Grande was framed yesterday and voluntarily went to the police station, you didn't care at all." Zach thought for a while, "All you want is to get me into the police station and then prompt With the pressure put on him by 'General' Coulson, the direction of this case has been completed and it can be ended."
that is the truth. We have seen the scene where Coulson pulled James into the police station bathroom and taught him a lesson before. It usually ends with James soaking his head in cold water to calm down, but thinking about it, it didn't seem like this yesterday. In the end, James persuaded Coulson and accepted that Zach was right to be arrested!
James almost succeeded. How should I put it, Zach is still at the 'teacher' level, and James is still too young.
"So what." James's hidden gloom made his whole body exude a strange feeling, "I..."
Zach shook his finger and interrupted James, "I don't mean to blame you." Zach smiled, "Didn't you notice that I have been calm from the beginning to now? I think you did the right thing. It can not only divert attention from the police in the southeast, but also solve the case peacefully.”
The obscure gloom collapsed and became clear. James really collapsed this time! Not for anything else, just because his plan was almost completed, but was reversed by Zach and fell short. Now Zach actually has the nerve to say, "I think you did the right thing"? ! This is insulting.
Before James stood up and yelled something, Zach pushed him back, "James, can you just calm down for once? You guys are going to the Comic Con. You know Benjamin's state. For various reasons, I don’t want to be in the same atmosphere as you before I left.”
It makes sense, Newton is the territory of the devil, what will happen is unknown, and there is no need for the atmosphere before leaving to be so bad. Think about it, might Benjamin in the Cold War take the initiative to contact Zach during Newton? Then let Zach inquire about the situation of their group from the innocent and ignorant Fitz? Seriously, it's just James.
James took a deep breath and sat back. Zach shook his head helplessly, "I guess what really makes you angry is that the superiors of the police station stopped the case, making your plan completely useless."
James clicked his tongue and didn't want to speak.
"One road is blocked." Zach raised his eyebrows, and there was actually relief in his tone. "I'm glad that you still worked hard on the case and tried to find another direction."
This means that James went to Amelia and still made a last-ditch effort to use Amelia as an adviser to inquire about Brian's information.
James turned his head away irritably, and spoke in a gloomy voice reluctantly, "Because you reminded me of 'Toledo' in the interrogation room, saying that this person knew your past history. If this case is not as simple as I thought, In human society cases, I still need to know his identity, and I can’t let you mess around!”
"You want to get his information before me." Zach summarized the reason. Everyone should understand it now. The weight is on the scale. If James wants to put pressure on Zach and advance the incident with his own consciousness, he Complete information is required before you can define which side the weight belongs to! He was almost successful the first time, so he had to try a second time, that's why.
Zach pursed his lips, "What made you give up completely and decide to go to Comic Con? Don't tell me that Benjamin forced you to marry me."
"Amelia asked me to get a search warrant." James said gloomily. The weights were locked in a box that James could not open.
The box here refers to Emilia.
Zach raised his eyebrows and came to the conclusion that Amelia's position in James' heart was higher than imagined. Because the box can be pried in addition to opening it, James pried it through Grande countless times, but when he got to Amelia, he just gave up. (..)
