After returning from the mill without success, Zach was considerate and sent the homeless man named Shepard back to Ixton. In order to avoid any kind of conversation between the two people in the back seat, Jason actually suppressed his discomfort and looked through the photos of the corpse provided by Madison.
"This..." Jason was trying to suppress the discomfort in his stomach, "Okay, cruel..." The two corpses in the photo were entangled, with dark red and burnt black colors mixed together.
cut. Weiss let out a disdainful snort that represented the other person's inexperience. Jason gave him a disgusted look.
Although they both looked like they hated each other, Zach could see that the two of them were looking for every opportunity to, well, 'communicate'.
"Your wording is wrong. Someone has to kill them to be called 'cruel.'" It can be said that Zach is easing the atmosphere, or that he is muddying the waters. "But they are just victims of the fire. No one can control it. It is not cruel." , is a tragedy.”
Zach glanced at Shepard in the passenger seat, intending to let this guy join the conversation. Why, everyone immediately understood, "The battle you mentioned before, oil and gas bombs? That is cruel."
Shepard's face looked a little unnatural, and he pursed his lips and nodded.
Zach used a very respectful tone, "I admire you soldiers very much, thank you for everything you do. Saying such positive words in any situation is not that Zach wants to convey some positive energy at the moment, he just wants to, "Oh yes Well, Weiss, I haven't introduced you to Shepard yet, Weiss is also a soldier. He was discharged from the army not long ago and now works as a police officer in the South District. "
"Oh." They are both soldiers, and they somewhat respect each other. Shepard turned around, pursed his lips and nodded. Although Wes, as a police officer, had previously suspected him of destroying the scene, that was the proper suspicion of the police and was nothing to worry about.
Wes obviously didn't understand why Zach was bringing this up at this time, so he nodded. He stretched out his hand and shook Shepard's hand.
"They are all soldiers. He participated in the war and saved the country. He deserves respect!" Jason stopped looking at the stomach-churning photos with a look of disdain on his face. "What did you do again?"
"I also protected the country!" Jason's eyes tightened, "A civilian like you has no right to know!"
"Hmph! A guy who despises civilians protects the country, remind me 'what' are you protecting?"
"You don't know anything! Shut up!"
"Just shut up!"
…
Don't worry about the two people at the back. They quarreled, and Zach's goal was achieved. We vampires have quite simple ideas. Quarrel is also a kind of communication, and communication is the only way to understand each other and enhance feelings, right? Do we need to care whether the process is 'peaceful' or not? It should be more intense. Nothing wrong with that either.
Shepard probably also sensed that there was a serious problem with the two people traveling with him, and he was not prepared to get involved because the kind-hearted Mr. Zach next to him, who seemed to be very generous, gave him a month's living expenses. accidental injury.
"Zach, Zach, thank you for the money. Sorry for not being able to help more." Shepard looked at Zach who was driving with a smile on his face. I was thinking that Mr. Kindness must have deliberately caused the two people behind to quarrel.
"Oh!" Zach raised his eyebrows, his voice had to be raised due to the quarrel in the back seat, "It doesn't matter, I just help others investigate the case. You should also have thought of it, my business is just the owner of a funeral home That’s all.”
"Yeah. I know. I read about it in the newspaper, Grand Funeral Home."
"Oh? Do you read the newspaper?" There is no contempt in it. There are also many ordinary citizens who don't care much about current affairs.
"Well, some old newspapers that people don't want." Shepard's face looked inferior. "The air in Ixton is very humid, so we will collect some old newspapers and stick them on the floor and wall, and sometimes we will read them." The topic suddenly became more realistic, "It's just." He forced a smile, "Haha, The news I watch is outdated.”
Zach stopped smiling, thought for a moment, and jumped on the topic, "Recently, our Grande needs to hold a collective funeral. For single-person funerals, we hire surrounding farmers. The demand this time should be greater than before." Zach glanced at Xue Pide and said, "How about it, are you interested? It's just some physical work of digging soil and moving things. There are working meals at work, and Grande's home-cooked meals."
"Yes, yes!" He replied quickly.
Here, I need to remind everyone that the kind-hearted guy in Grande is Benjamin, not Zach! He's planning something!
We were almost arriving at Ixton. Zach slowed down the car and turned the steering wheel. It looked like he was about to turn around. There was a smile on his face again, "Haha, then I won't go back. I won't send you back either." I know how to contact you. Go to Grande now, I can always find you something to do."
"That's true! Thank you so much!" Shepard's gratitude was not false at all, it was definitely good luck!
However, Zach was only halfway through the U-turn on Route 27 when he ended up in the middle of the road without warning. Zach frowned and looked in the direction of Ixton. An old car driven by a woman was turning into Ixton.
She is Chapman's wife. Remember, when Chapman committed suicide, Zach went to his house to investigate and met the woman. But at that time, Zach used the enchantment eye and looked at Chapman. After the child's experimental treatment plan, he left with a fuss about modern medical developments.
Zach suddenly turned his head, looked at Jason and Wes who were still arguing, and waved his hand, "Who reported the fire in Ixton?"
During the argument, Wes pressed Jason against the car window, "I don't know, in the recorded report information, the reporter seemed to be in a hurry and did not reveal his address. But it was confirmed to be a woman."
It should be the rule of the police not to pursue information about the person who reported the crime, but Zach was not ready to give up. "Didn't you ask when you visited? This case should not be the type that will lead to retaliation." Zach meant, There is no need for the person who reported the crime to conceal that he or she reported the crime. "No one here admits that they reported the crime themselves."
Jason's body was lying in the back seat in a miserable state, and he could only kick Wes away and break free. Fortunately, he knew Zach was asking questions and didn't fight back.
Weiss rubbed the corner of his mouth and wiped the footprints on his chest, "No, but the report also stated that several families were not there when they visited."
Zach gave an address, the address of Chapman's home.
"There seems to be this." Weiss thought for a moment and nodded.
Zach looked at Wes and Jason and smiled inexplicably, "Oh, then you continue." Uh, and then looked at Shepard, "It looks like it's going to be a while." Turning the steering wheel, he controlled the truck again. Turning back, "I need to ask something more." Enter Ixton. (..)
