"It's not you." Looking at the homeless people leaving, Zach stopped the middle-aged man, "I have other questions to ask."
Wes looked at Zach hesitantly. At this time, Zach had released the enchantment. Wes wanted to remind Zach that any questions he asked now would not necessarily get honest answers. Think of this as prejudice, after all, Wes is now a police officer and trusts the police report more than a homeless veteran who was once a soldier.
"What's your name?" Fortunately, our vampire has no prejudice against anything.
"Shepard. John Shepard."
"Nice to meet you, Shepard. I'm Zachary Grande, you can call me Zach." Zach waved his hand, "The 'mill' I just mentioned is from Grande Funeral Home. Industry, we will go see the body, are you interested in joining us?"
"Uh... if I can help."
"Well, let's go." Zach smiled and didn't say anything more. He asked Wes and Jason to get in the car. However, there was a small detail. Zach directly invited Shepard to sit in the passenger seat. Wes He and Jason could only be put in the back seat together.
Shepard may have been unconscious, but he was stroking Grande's truck when he got into the car. It was similar to the armored transport trucks in past wars, which seemed to bring back some memories for him. But after getting in the car, he felt uncomfortable all over, and he felt that his dirty self would contaminate this generous gentleman's car.
Zach didn't pay attention. He reminded him about the seat belt and started the car. While steering the steering wheel, he asked casually, "The team you just mentioned was ambushed. It sounds like a very cruel battle." Zach. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you participate in the war ten years ago?"
"Well, yes." Shepard replied, but he probably didn't want to say anything more. Sit quietly with your lips pursed.
"My brother (referring to Benjamin) also participated, bad memories." Zach didn't ask further questions, which was a kind explanation to this stranger. Then immediately back to the topic, "Tell me about the new guy."
Driving outside Ixton, we passed two houses we knew, Walter's old house. and the Chapman House just next door. It seemed like no one was around at this time, so Zach glanced at it and drove past without paying attention.
"The new guy?" Shepard frowned, "There's nothing much to say. He came here suddenly, and he doesn't usually hang out with us, nor does he introduce himself."
"Anything can be a clue." Wes interjected from the back seat. Since Zach was willing to believe this guy, there was no need for him to resist.
"Oh." Shepard looked like he was hungry for memories. "He seems to be very good at swimming. We saw him once. He was playing in the sea to the east."
"You guys know how to 'play'?" Jason interrupted with some offense. What he probably means is that all the wanderer's energy is spent on survival, and he has no time to take into account other aspects of being a human being.
Shepard frowned, not wanting to answer the question, "Anyway, I only saw him once, when he first came here, and not after that."
"When did he come?" Zach was still very focused.
"Two weeks ago." Shepard thought for a moment, "Last Friday. Well, I'm sure. Because I remember last Friday, over there. South of here, there is a private villa that no one lived in before. Later, a new owner came, and there was a girl who used to deliver some food outside regularly, but that day, she didn't deliver." Shepard's face looked a little bad, "It didn't happen anymore after that."
Zach raised his eyebrows. Is Shepard talking about Saint Sissi? Last Friday, Sissi went to Grande. Then he went to the Republic with Crowley, Sibella and the others.
Well, it's not too bad to bring out the Saint Sissy from Fight Club, and she does something befitting her Saint title. The important information used to confirm the time point was used by our Zach to mock the Saints in his heart.
So that everyone doesn’t miss this important time information, let’s sort it out. Last Friday, Sibera went to the Republic, and new wandering people appeared; on Monday, the Indians erected a barrier surrounding the northern and southern districts, preventing Papa's midnight creations from entering, and changing the laws of the world. Ridiculous events occurred in the northern and southern districts at the same time. fire.
"So what does this newcomer do on a daily basis?" Zach continued to ask. The car had already driven onto Route 27, and the mill was not far away.
"Sorry, I don't know." Shepard shook his head apologetically, "He is always a bit mysterious. Didn't those people tell you before? He can always get good food, and sometimes he will share it. He's very possessive at times. He's a weirdo, and we don't usually deal with him that much."
Zach nodded, not knowing what to ask. When passing by Old Mel's Grocery Store, I thought about it but didn't mention it. It was hard to guarantee whether the two would really fight when Zach could no longer act as an outsider for Wes and Jason.
We arrived at the mill without much conversation. Zach had just expressed his intention to come, and there was no surprise. Madison gave a gloomy reply, "Burn it, together with the two ones we brought last night." When he said this, Madison glared at Zach. Everyone knows , Madison was talking about the bodies of the old Bishops and his wife that Zach had given Danny to dispose of last night.
"What about the police's corpse disposal report?" Zach asked helplessly, not wanting to go all the way in vain.
"Nothing to see, two people with no names." When Madison said this, he didn't notice the bad look on Shepard's face who came with Zach. It's not his fault. He didn't know Shepard. , "It only vaguely stated the cause of death."
"Then there must be pictures of corpses."
Madison went to find a report irritably, and Zach was not idle either. After saying hello, he went to Madison's office, took out the contact information Boone gave him, and started dialing.
After all, this is a Grande commission, and Grande's rule is not to answer the process. However, if the commission involves investigations from other parties, it is better to remind the employer to cooperate.
Haha, of course, Zach did this just because he had a hunch that he wouldn't find anything useful here, so he started preparing to shirk responsibility early. Come to think of it, if this commission is not completed in the end, Zach will say this, "Even the two North District police detectives failed to find out the incident, Boone, just admit it." '
The call was connected, and after a brief polite moment, Zach said, "Mr. Boone Herman, have the two detectives started investigating?"
"Uh... Let's start. They are asking my staff for details. Well, thank you, Gran..."
"Hey, just call me Zach." Zach smiled, "You're welcome, I'll do what I should do." (...)
