What Coulson said was correct. Zach didn't wait at Brian's house for too long. The man from the police station - of course Chapman, came very quickly, but Zach still listened to a lot of Brian's words involuntarily. Something that was not expected to be heard.
For example, Ian once purely helped Brian vent his anger even when he was not hungry. After all, for vampire Ian, it was just convenient.
For example, when Ian was bored, he would talk about what happened on the battlefield and recall his brother and 'father'. While expressing his emotions, it also allowed Brian to know the circumstances under which his father died, which was not surprising.
For example, when Brian's mother was too busy at work, she took Brian home from psychological counseling. Life in the southeast is boring, and after having made the entire Barton dirty, and when life only requires blood to exist, Ian doesn't know what to do, so why not
…
So when Chapman knocked on the door, Zach felt finally relieved, freed from the emotions that confused time and space.
"It's finally here." There was a look of relief on Zach's face that Chapman couldn't understand, "Let's finish it quickly."
Zach directly brought Chapman, who was wearing a police uniform, into the room like a master, pressed down the two of them in the narrow living room, clapped his hands, "Let's go, Chapman, do what you should do as a police officer, Bu." Ryan, do... cooperate with the officer."
Chapman looked at Zach. As a guy who had no good reason and volunteered to conduct informal police operations, he was very willing to accept Zach's control. Without saying anything, he took out his notebook and pen and started walking. 'program'.
"I'm going to ask you some questions." Chapman said to Brian, who had a look of disgust on his face. "Don't be nervous. Just answer."
"I'm not nervous, I just don't like you." Brian was rude and did not hide his attitude towards the police at all.
Chapman seemed to mind, probably because he had seen too much, and raised his shoulders towards Zach, "When was the last time you and your mother saw each other?"
"Didn't you already tell me when you reported the crime?!" Brian was very impatient. His tone was no different from that of a willful child, "Why are you still asking!"
"Just confirming the information." Chapman explained without hesitation and glanced at Zach. "Most of the information reported will be changed for various reasons during the recording process. This is standard procedure."
"We can skip this part." Zach waved his hand. "It was around nine o'clock yesterday morning. The last people we met were me, him, his mother, plus a colleague of her mother's, and then his mother and colleagues Go to work. The work content is in the West District." Zach summarized it very concisely.
Chapman frowned and flipped through the notes he had obviously taken before coming. "You did not appear in the information when reporting the crime." He pursed his lips and looked at Zach speechlessly, "Only after I went out to work with my colleagues. He never came back.”
Zach opened his mouth, and it felt bad to be slapped in the face for a moment, but immediately, Zach understood. It was Lane who reported the crime. Ryan is the personality of Zach that cannot be mentioned, remembered, or contacted. It couldn't be more normal to completely 'miss' the report.
But wait. Ryan mentioned Zach to Emilia, there must be other reasons.
"Of course not." Brian's face became even more disgusted, "That's what that guy is!"
Chapman frowned and looked at Brian. If he really followed the standard procedures of the police station, he could now give Brian a warning for maliciously wasting police resources and falsely reporting the crime. But he looked at Zach again. It's a searching look.
Zach was also wondering why Chapman was confused. He shook his head and ignored it for the time being. "His situation is a bit special." Zach could only raise his hand and shake it in circles on the side of his head. Regardless of whether Chapman understood it or not, "I'll explain it to you later, but let's continue now."
Chapman tilted his head, listened to Zach, recorded the last person he met after the change in his notebook, and then looked at Brian again, "Then continue, is your mother's colleague you mentioned also the same person? He has not returned home and is missing. Have you confirmed it?"
"I didn't." Under Zach's eyes, Brian answered honestly, but it probably only confused Chapman. "Le, Ryan called and asked, but there was no reply."
"Who is Ryan..." Chapman shook his head and added 'Lian' after the person he just wrote down.
Zach felt powerless, "There is no Ryan." He shook his finger to the side of his head again, "That's him."
"Huh?" Chapman looked at Zach's gesture and blinked.
No wonder Chapman couldn't understand. It would have been much easier to understand if Zach had said directly, 'This guy has something wrong with his brain,' accompanied by this gesture, but Zach obviously wouldn't say that in front of Brian.
Chapman shook his head and listened to Zach, hesitantly crossing out 'Ryan', "Then go ahead, what does 'no reply' mean."
"It means 'no reply'!" Brian glared at Chapman, "When adults are working, children ask questions, but they are always put off by the word 'still working'!"
"Kid? What kid?" Chapman tapped the tip of the pen on his notebook, leaving a large ink mark.
Zach's feeling of powerlessness is getting worse, and there will be no end to this if it goes on like this. Zach felt like speaking for himself.
Zach pulled up Chapman and said to Brian, "You stay here." Then he walked out the door. The two of them made sure that no one was eavesdropping in the corridor. Zach frowned, "Didn't the demons tell you the details of the case in which I was tortured into the police station by James? Don't you know about Brian's situation?" "
"What do I want to know?" Chapman looked at Zach in confusion, "Wasn't that case shelved? After I passed what you said at the police station to Skoll, I didn't know what happened next. , and you haven’t seen any progress?”
Zach looked at Chapman, not lying, and thought for a while, "So that time at the police station, after you passed the news, the information Crowley obtained was not returned to you?"
Chapman shook his head, "No." He frowned and said calmly, "You should know that I am just being used by Crowley and those demons. I just want to help you by delivering the message, but they have no obligation. Give me anything back.”
Zach reached out and patted Chapman on the shoulder, expressing gratitude and regret. The person who pushed Chapman into this position that Crowley took advantage of was Zach himself.
Chapman smiled. "It's nothing. He's been 'dead' once. He takes these things lightly and doesn't care much." He looked in the direction of Brian's house and frowned again, "But that case has something to do with this Brian. Does it matter?"
Zach smiled a little and continued following Chapman's words, "He's the one who wrote to me."
Just when Chapman showed a surprised expression, Zach waved his hand. "Don't worry, it's not like I said at the police station, it was a 'frame-up' or something like that. He, um..." Even if Brian wasn't present, it was still difficult to describe his situation, "He had been subjected to some..." Well, trauma." Zach used a word that he was not even satisfied with.
"It still has something to do with me. Long before I got to Barton." Zach didn't want to be too detailed, as it would trigger the weird emotions caused by the chaos of time and space. Just say roughly, "These are not important. The important thing is that the Brian you see now, although he has an adult body, his thinking mode is that of a misguided and self-righteous problem child."
Chapman frowned, trying to understand.
"This Brian has blind worship for me and vampires." Zach shook his head, "Then there is Ryan, who still has the same body, but blindly rejects me and vampires. But he is much more mature, believe me , I prefer this." Zach twitched the corners of his lips, "We have bad luck, now it's Brian."
Chapman could understand this explanation and opened his mouth, "It's very much like Wandel and I before, two people, one body."
Zach nodded, then shook his head, "But they were originally one, and nothing entered his body. I said it was trauma that caused him to look like this."
Seeing Zach's troubled look, Chapman actually smiled and shook his head, "I understand, you are actually here to help him repair this wound."
"That's right." Zach thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, I get it." Chapman smiled at Zach.
According to what he said, he doesn't care that he is just a person being used by the devil. So for Zach, Chapman is positioned as the person who was given a second life by Zach. His heart is obviously with Zach. Here, naturally he would smile at Zach, "Then the case of his mother's disappearance, is this a step for you to fix? What can I do?"
Zach sighed and frowned, "No. This case is completely unexpected and may lead to very bad results." Zach shook his head and looked at Chapman seriously, "I think his mother already dead."
Chapman stopped smiling, became serious, and did not answer, waiting for Zach to continue.
"I suspect that his mother's occupation is as a 'cleaner' and the work she went to do with her colleagues at the time of the report was in the West End."
Zach began to sort out all the fragments of events he knew for Chapman, "I accidentally learned that Bishop's house in the West End hired a new cleaning maid yesterday to clean Mrs. Bishop's (Shell) room."
Chapman's face became heavy because Zach said something surprising at once!
"Furthermore, I have very definite information that proves that Mrs. Bishop is also dead." Being able to talk to Jackson and 'pull' him out of Bishop Manor is definitely not something humans can do. "But where is the devil? There is no news, so I can confirm the time of death and even her condition at this time with great confidence."
The devil here refers to Mike. Now Mike, the leader of the Barton Devil, has no news about Ms. Sher, so there is only one possibility. The moment when she became an earthbinder coincided with an event that attracted the attention of the devils - it happened in Smith's underground industry. Dylan's advanced world of punishment!
Remember what Jackson relayed what Schell said to him? Shel, who was not dragged away by Cerberus for the first time and managed to stay in Bishop Manor, said that she wanted revenge! This is the reason why Zach confirmed her current life status. She is no longer an ordinary earth-bound spirit that cannot have any impact on the world, but something else!
"So, I have reason to believe that the 'cleaner' who goes to clean Mrs. Bishop's room will be the first victims of Mrs. Bishop's new life form." Zach looked at Chapman, he expected to always show strength Chapman, who is receptive, can keep up.
Zach's expectations were met.
Chapman frowned and pondered for a while, closed his eyes, shook his head, and forced a forced smile, "Let's put aside what you said, uh, Mrs. Bishop's... uh, things first. This This incident was so sudden that I feel it has exceeded my jurisdiction." To be honest, this should be a matter for the West District police, not a small patrol officer from the North District.
"Well... you were talking about Brian's mother." Chapman quickly glanced in the direction of Brian's house again to confirm that no one was eavesdropping. "You made a big assumption. You said you had the exact information." The information proves Mrs. Sharpe’s matter, but Brian’s mother, you seem to be more speculating.”
That's right, after all, what Jackson saw were cleaning maids who were unfamiliar to him, and since he had never met Brian's mother, he couldn't confirm the identities of those cleaning maids. The basis for Zach's speculation comes from the fact that Brian's mother works in the West End and has never returned, as well as the fact that he didn't hear the name Aix very carefully.
"Yes." Zach was very satisfied. "The only proof I am missing is whether Brian's mother's occupation is really a cleaner."
Chapman glanced at Zach and asked hesitantly, "You want me to prove this? Then, your guess is correct, then Brian..." Chapman looked in the direction of Brian's house again.
"So I said, the result may be very bad." Zach also looked in the same direction, twitching the corner of his mouth, and retracted his gaze, "But no matter how bad the result is, it is only a matter of time, and the truth will emerge."
Chapman thought again for a moment and nodded.
The reason is simple. If Mrs. Bishop is really as Zach said, this sensational incident will be discovered sooner or later, and then in conjunction, the 'liquidator' will also be discovered!
Instead of passively waiting for Bishop's incident to happen and doing the elimination method to rule out Brian's mother as the 'cleaner', it is better to investigate from Brian's mother's perspective and rule out Mrs. Bishop's sensational incident that is beyond Chapman's jurisdiction! Anyone with a bit of social common sense knows how to choose!
"So, do you have any clues?" Chapman asked.
"Yes, Ax." Zach replied immediately, "But I didn't hear it clearly. This was the person Brian's mother and her colleagues told them about who provided them with this job." Zach frowned, "At that time It was Ryan, and he and I were trying to avoid contact and didn’t hear it very accurately, but it was my only clue.”
"Aix?" Chapman's face became unnatural, but he quickly calmed down. He glanced at Zach and just repeated the name without saying anything extra, "Aix. Okay, If he says it, he should be able to give you the results soon."
Of course it’s quick, no need to explain. (..)
