On Monday morning, Zach grabbed James on the couch in Grande's rec room. The Grand has no guest rooms, remember.
"Get up, breakfast is ready."
James struggled like a frightened animal at first, then saw clearly that it was Zach who was lifting him, and wiped away a layer of cold sweat on his forehead with a terrible look on his face.
Zach saluted the shirt that was wrinkled by James' struggle, "Are you sick?"
"I'm not sick!" Habitually rejecting, James tugged on his clothes and looked at the scattered notes on the coffee table, seeming to remember that his attitude towards Zach shouldn't be so bad, "It's okay, I just didn't react. I came back to Barton, and I thought I was still in Newton."
Zach glanced at the notes on the coffee table. They were all written by James. What he said had nothing to do with it. "Oh? It seems that in the name of relaxing and taking a vacation, you didn't relax at all when you went to Newton."
"Relax?!" Maybe he got up early and was still a little angry, "How can I relax! I know clearly that Newton's demon is curious about all the information about Barton! I met Benjamin's werewolf enemy again..."
As soon as Zach had the intention to frown, James shut up at the right moment. Didn't I mention this problem yesterday? Zach, a vampire, is of no use to the 'problem' Benjamin is experiencing now. Talking about it will only increase the trouble.
"Where's Mo, fish, mol, fish-man, molman?" James changed the topic, but he seemed not used to pronunciation, and his voice kept jumping between races and people's names.
"He left a long time ago." Zach waved his hand, "He said it was a rare visit to the South District and he wanted to experience the sea east of the South District. He went for a night swim while you were asleep."
James' expression became strange, and half of his swollen face from sleeping on the sofa faced Zach, "Moll. Fish..." James gave up, "He, what on earth is he?"
"Something?" Zach twitched his lips, "Detective Lance, please don't objectify a well-meaning citizen who is willing to help you. Repeat after me, his name is. Mo, Er, Man."
On the 'philosophical' issue of 'alien human equality', it is impossible for James to say anything about Zach. "You know what I mean!" James rubbed his face, "I just want to know if he is some dangerous guy..."
This statement didn't help James at all. James realized it and threw his hands away irritably, "No need to answer. I'm going to wash up."
Zach turned his head and followed James into the Grand bathroom. James stood by the toilet and looked at Zach unnaturally, "**, please."
Zach ignored it, "I just want to know if Moorman has provided any help. It seems that you took a lot of notes."
"You didn't peek?" Unable to do something, James gave up. Turn on the faucet, bang bang...
"Do I need to take a peek to find out?" After letting James choose twice yesterday. Zach discovered that if James was given two choices, James would have to choose the one that was more in line with his personality. Of course, with Zach's shamelessness, the option that fits James' personality usually beautifies Zach himself.
For example, right now, James would obviously not approve of peeking, right? So, James' wet face stared at Zach's image reflected in the mirror on the sink, "You don't need to..." James replied viciously.
James stared at Zach in the mirror for a while, and then changed the subject, "So what does it mean now. You are completely able to leave your own image in these things?"
"Yeah." Zach should be a little proud, "Compared to not long ago, I couldn't last long in the interrogation room of your police station. Now you see, haha." Zach showed off and got close to James, He got close to the mirror and looked at the image in the mirror with satisfaction, "I have thought of many things that I couldn't do before. Now, it is much more convenient."
James irritably avoided Zach's approach, and looked at Zach who was in a complacent mood for a while. What he was thinking about was the unoriginal malice—this vampire lurking in Barton, and the danger factor increased again. Now, he can already enter and exit more densely populated places without any scruples, such as shopping malls, hospitals, leisure centers...
"Mo, Moorman helped a lot." James no longer wanted to see Zach being complacent and returned to the topic, "The corpses he found had many clues about their identities, such as documents, facial features, etc., Mo Mann recounted it all to me, and as soon as I return to the bureau, I can bring up the population file and find out one by one."
"Uh." Zach turned around, leaned against the sink, looked at James' wet face, and the water was leaking into his neck. He pulled out an old Hank's towel and threw it to him, "This is yours. Plan? Go back to the police station and use your detective authority to retrieve the files under everyone’s watch?”
James' eyebrows tightened, and was soon covered by the towel covering his face. He seemed not to want to speak.
Zach didn't want to let him go, "Have you forgotten that I told you the current situation in the police station? When I went there yesterday, everyone was busy. Didn't Mollman tell you the confidentiality agreement he signed? . Obviously, haha, your police department doesn’t want to leak any information. No matter what happens in the southeast, the police department is not prepared to attract people’s attention there... "
"Enough!" James threw back the towel, "I know! I know the police department is covering up such things! So what! Moorman said it too! Those are just what he found, there are more! Those They are people! They are dead now! All I can do is notify their relatives! To do this, I need to know their identities!"
Zach crossed his arms, looked at James, thought for a while, and shook his head. There was so little information that they didn't even know what happened in the southeast, let alone why the police department tried to cover it up. To be honest, Zach didn't have any good suggestions. Maybe it would be good to let James go back to the police station to fiddle with some nerves and see if he could get some information.
Zach snorted softly, "Breakfast is ready." He turned around and prepared to leave, "By the way, you have bad breath, please clean it up." He added.
James pursed his lips tightly and slammed the bathroom door shut the moment Zach left.
Hearing the sound of the toilet seat being opened impatiently, Zach thought of something in a bad way, twitched his lips, and walked towards the stairs.
Grande breakfast today. Zach needs to be present, and members of Grande need to be reassured, like Alice. Do you think that after Zach did what he did in front of the five third-generation people in the West District yesterday, Laura and Kepler would let Alice go without asking anything. Won't.
The children at Parker Elementary School were sent away after lunch. These little guys have been running all morning, to Mary's Church and to Grande in the South District. They are tired. They were taken back by Teacher Cuisha on the grounds of lunch break. At least they were worried that they would be too noisy in the afternoon.
Laura and Kepler finally had some leisure time, so they began to exchange secrets with Alice as friends. Don’t comment too much on the way girls maintain friendships.
but. Zach didn't know what they said, and he couldn't eavesdrop, because our vampires also have something to do.
Let’s go back to yesterday. Zach took a ride on Fitz's Comic Con bus and went to the North District. On the way, I listened to the opinions of these nerds about Newton and his party, and apologized that Grande didn't have anything to entertain them when they came back.
"No!" Fitz responded, "Haha! We just came back to tell you that Benjamin will stay there for a few more days! We don't want to make a living! Haha. Benjamin hasn't had enough fun yet! Oh! I'm so envious. Him! With you as my brother, Grande doesn’t need to worry about him. You can play without worries! We will go to work tomorrow!”
It seemed that the dream trip of this group of innocent and cute otakus was not affected by Benjamin at all, and they had no awareness of what Alpha was going through, so Zach was relieved.
Enthusiastic otakus sent Zach to Becky. Zach walked towards the editorial department with a clear goal in Momo Tea Shop, which was unexpectedly full of pink atmosphere. Of course, look for seductress Riley.
Riley wasn't surprised by Zach's visit. This was something that was agreed upon. The evil spirit in the haunted house was the only one allowed to enter the manor by the charming demon, after going there once. Need to report back to Zach about the situation in the manor.
"It's not good. Food storage and facility maintenance have already reached the bottom line. Julie will find at any time that she is the only one working in the entire manor."
Now, let’s get serious. Regardless of what the North District Police Department is covering up, our Grande has a murderous house to cover up!
"Didn't a new servant come to your door?" Zach said without taking it seriously at all, "Ask Sher to be 'gentle' to her, let her live a little longer, and help Julie."
Riley looked at Zach with a ghostly look, "Have you never been to Bishop Manor? Don't you know how big that ghost place is! How can two people survive here!"
"It's not all." Zach was still not serious, "The place after the atrium, where the old Bishop and his wife lived, is blocked."
The reason is to pay tribute to the old Bishop and his wife. Zach's arrangement used every possible excuse and made every arrangement to make Bishop Manor look normal!
"That place can't be locked down! After the seven-day traditional wake is over, why do you want to restrict their activities in their own home?"
Riley was not at all as relaxed as Zach, "And the smell of those corpses has begun to show signs. If Julie was not a novice servant and had a little more autonomy, it would only take a few minutes to discover the corpses in the backyard. Thing! Now Shel can no longer control the appearance of those corpses. The bodies that have begun to ** are too easy to be discovered! What's worse is that an unknown Merry has appeared. It seems that he is eager to please the new owner! Who knows Will she find something?"
Do you know what Riley is talking about? Remember, as I mentioned, Bishop Manor is already a place that can only be entered and cannot be exited. The coffins in which old Bishop and his wife were buried were all empty!
"Oh? Then you also helped Bishop keep this Merry." Zach smiled, wasn't it what Danny relayed? Fortunately, Riley, otherwise Julie would have witnessed the strange thing that Merry couldn't leave the manor.
"Do I have a choice?!" Riley angrily took out a vial and placed it heavily on the table, "You just gave me so much of your blood! This is the only guarantee that I can enter and leave the manor freely! Do you want me to Do I give it to Meri, who I’ve never met before?!”
Zach smiled and waved his hand, "Look, you also said that the manor is not a place where people can come and go freely. So what if she finds out, she can't get out, and who else can she tell?"
"Julie can!"
"Would Sher allow this to happen?"
Riley stared at Zach, her plump cheeks twitching, "No."
"Then what are you worried about?" Zach waved his hands, "But then even if this Merry is unlucky, haha, she could live for a while longer."
Are you wondering why Zach is so indifferent to Merry, who he has never met before? There is nothing you can do about it.
Thomas West, the teacher of Thomas Madison's writing class, Morris's blessing, wrote an article with the theme of jealousy and no ending, and the protagonist is this Meri. The character of Meri has been completely created through the pen of this magical lady. Let me ask, who likes jealous people. Zach doesn't like it anyway, so why should he care about Meri's life or death.
"It's up to you." Riley was the one who could only follow Zach's arrangements. "I need to purchase, and the materials in the manor need to be replenished. Tomorrow is Monday (this is going back to yesterday, referring to the real time point) (today), after the magazine comes out, I will go to the manor to visit Bishop again and replenish supplies before Julie finds out. The list is for you... "
Zach glanced at the list. Most of it was food. Fortunately, there were only three living people in Bishop Manor, Gameri, so the consumption was not large. Zach happily wrote and signed a check. Don't forget, Zach wanted to get Bishop, so naturally he would pay the bill.
"Since you mentioned it." Zach handed over the check, "It's up to you to find a way to deal with the corpses in the backyard that have begun to slug."
"What?! What do you expect me to do?! Did you dig a hole and bury it!"
"Good idea." Zack smiled.
This conversation can't go on any longer.
"Oh, right." Thinking of Willy, Zach raised his hand, "Since Sher can no longer pull out those corpses to create the illusion that everyone is still there, Julie is not suitable to stay in that place. , it wouldn’t be good if she really finds out something is wrong. Using the Charming Eyes on one person repeatedly is not in line with my style, haha. Find a way to expel her.”
"What?!" Riley hated the feeling of being given an order like this, "How to get fired?! What can I do! I'm just a guest of Bishop now! What do you expect me to do! And is Julie useless? ! We still need someone who can enter and exit the manor freely, so that the outside world will think that everything in the manor is normal!"
"Then I suggest you act quickly. Now you are the one who can come and go freely." Zach stopped his expression. He didn't like the feeling that he was always questioned every time he made a request. "I've already met with Bishop." You have passed it once, but you are still just a guest, Mei Yao, don’t let me despise your race. I don’t care, I will find a way to complete it.” (..)
