The basement door on the east side was opened in advance, and Harrison took the initiative to carry the corpse with an expression showing that he saw the delicious food. Naturally, no one would stop him.
Benjamin glanced at Danny who got out of the car and said, "What do they say in the West End?"
At this time, it had been more than an hour since Mr. Fisher left. Zach told Danny to pick up the body and make up for what he should do - asking Matthew to take Sloan to the North Park of the cemetery to see Lip. After that, he stopped taking care of things and returned to the basement to accompany Louise. Oh, Zack didn't have any objections to the commission that Benjamin accepted and said, 'Just call if you need me.'
Danny watched Harrison enter the basement (east side) under Alice's guidance. "I asked about it, but the medical examiner didn't say anything noteworthy and didn't show me the autopsy report." Danny frowned. Frowning, "I tried to 'shopping' around and found that drowning accidents like this have been very frequent recently, but the police don't seem to care much about them. The only comment I received was that things like the end of summer are just a matter of time." It will disappear naturally'."
James interrupted, "Summer is a time when drownings occur frequently, and it's the same in the North District. There will be one in Noel Beach every few days."
Yes, James is standing next to Benjamin. Everyone can understand Zach's situation, so this commission can only be controlled by Benjamin, and Benjamin is very self-aware, so he called in all the help. In addition to Benjamin, there was also the dark witch Yuehua Baiying who followed Alice down to the basement first.
"Knoll Beach is also a place of entertainment. If there are lifeguards, most minor accidents can be prevented immediately. The Charles River in the West District does not have such a guarantee, and it will only become more frequent." James twitched his lips. , he came for a vacation and to ask questions, neither of which seemed possible.
Listen to the explanation. Benjamin curled his lips. If the truth Cody obtained after spending more than 100 dollars was still unexpected, then the commission could be considered a failure.
"Go down and have a look." Benjamin pushed the reluctant James toward the basement. From James' tone, you should be able to tell that he didn't want to participate in this commission. However, it didn't matter whether he thought about it or not. It was Benjamin who pushed him down.
"Danny, I called the church and asked Mike to help find Lang's soul. You wait for their call up there." Benjamin explained and pushed James down.
Alice in the basement has already put on work clothes and gloves, as have Yuehua and Baiying. The real work that should be done here is to tidy up the appearance of the corpse. But since Grande has a commission regarding this body, then. The corpse probably wouldn't mind being looked at by the three mourning banshees.
The body placed on the stone platform had been removed from the body bag. Harrison stood in the corner biting his fingers, his throat rolling up and down.
Benjamin clicked his tongue and said, "Control it." Ignoring Harrison, he looked at the three banshees who tilted their heads and stared at the corpse, "What, did you see anything?"
No one answered for the time being, and the eyes of the three banshees seemed to be playing lanterns. In the dark basement, light spots flashed in the pupils.
James pursed his lips. He wanted to leave, but was held back by Benjamin, "Go and see. What can you find?"
"I don't want to disturb Alice..." James was pushed in front of the corpse and lay down almost losing his balance.
"It's okay, detective." Yuehua slowly closed her eyes, hiding the scene in her eyes. Then I opened it, and there was nothing left. She looked at James with a polite smile, "We just want to check the death scene we saw a few more times. There are some special places that we want to confirm a few more times. Detective, please do your job. We can Replenish."
James had a sullen face and glanced at Benjamin, who raised his chin. Is there any other way besides surrendering
James took a deep breath, his nose filled with the smell of antiseptic medicine. He held it back and looked seriously at the body lying in front of him.
"The degree of swelling of the skin..." James took the gloves that Alice thoughtfully handed over, put them on and poked Lang's chest. I won’t describe what happened. "He should have been in the water for three to four days."
Yuehua nodded, "Three days ago, the scene we saw started with him turning over the calendar and looking at the date. Three days ago, he had work arranged in advance, and the date was marked with two words 'work' words, and then he hurriedly went out." This is the beginning of the death event. Like most deaths, it starts with a normal day and goes out to work in a hurry.
James opened his mouth and looked at Yuehua who was smiling slightly. The detective's mind is being impacted. I hope everyone can understand the impact of this.
"Work?" Benjamin ignored the earthquake in James' spiritual world and crossed his arms. "I heard Fisher say to Zach that Lang has been on vacation since the nursery project started to take effect..." Benjamin shook his head. He frowned and raised his hand, "Let's continue."
Yuehua continued to smile at James, "Detective, continue."
The corners of James' eyes twitched, he lowered his head and continued to look at the corpse. His fingers reached into the mouth, pushed aside his teeth, and continued deeper. "I didn't see any foreign matter left." James frowned and shook his head, "The corpse has been removed. The Western District Police have inspected it, and what I see now has been processed and may not be correct."
"So we are here." Yue Hua kept smiling, "But you are right, detective. He skipped breakfast. As I said before, he was in a hurry."
James glanced at Yuehua and immediately turned away, "I didn't mean to talk about breakfast or anything!" James seemed a little irritated because he felt that Yuehua's constant repetition of 'detective' was sarcastic, wasn't it? Do you still need a police detective to mourn a banshee
Don't blame James for being narrow-minded. He is still experiencing the shock. When the shock passes, he will be able to calm down, I hope.
James shifted his gaze to the body's limbs, fingers, toes, and knee joints. "I need his clothes to confirm if there are any attachments. He has been in the water for so long, and he should have been in contact with the river bed. At least there will be something attached."
Alice has already gone to get it, but even if she gave it to James, it would be of little use. James was not going to find anything from it. He was just bringing the topic to the detective's profession—
What is a police detective? It is to search for clues from the remnants after death, to guide and piece them together bit by bit, and to get the truth about death. What a banshee is, is a look. Just know the whole process of the death.
James is childishly defending the existential meaning of his work.
A little dry sand, a little withered algae, James didn't know how to continue.
"You didn't listen carefully." Baiying said, "We just said that he went to work. Look at the clothes in your hands."
Lang is Cody's driver. Does a driver have a so-called uniform? No. But this is the driver of the West District Young Master, so formal attire is a minimum.
However, the clothes in James' hands were a floral shirt, beach pants, swimming trunks and slippers... This was a vacation outfit.
Benjamin frowned, "He should be on vacation."
"But, but this day is written on his calendar as work." Alice pursed her lips, "Red. And it's bold."
"So either his normal work style is like this, or he is doing something outside his job." At some point, Mo stood next to Harrison and noticed that everyone was looking at her. Hair, casual explanation, "Hank took Kim away for a walk. I'm bored." She tilted her head and glanced at Harrison. He said nothing and withdrew his gaze.
James frowned and looked at the clothes in his hand again, "Who is the job marked on the date for?"
"It's not Cody," Benjamin said directly. "He told me he always thought Long was on vacation."
"That's Fisher." James frowned and looked at the three banshees, "What exactly is this job?"
"This is the interesting part." Yuehua's smile never let go. "He didn't survive until the work started." Yue Hua glanced at Baiying and then at Alice, "This is what makes us all confused. The death event started because he confirmed this date. We can think that because This job cost him his life."
Well, that seems to be the case. If I hadn't wasted two minutes chatting with my neighbor downstairs, I wouldn't have walked to the place where the flowerpot fell from the roof at some point later. Chat with neighbors and hang up. Do you need to ask why the flower pot fell down? Please don't, this is not something you can control. What you can control is not chatting with your neighbors. This is your own cause and effect.
"But after seeing countless death incidents." Yuehua looked at Benjamin again, "We found that most of the deaths related to alien races do not have such seemingly helpless causes and effects. They are all sudden, without warning, and inevitable. He was attacked by aliens and died. If we want to investigate the cause of the accident of the deceased, it is because the aliens wanted to kill him. No matter what random actions the deceased had done before, it does not matter. Death will only come so suddenly. "
Because the initiation of the death event will only happen to the deceased at the moment when the alien race suddenly appears, and all the actions of the person before that have no causal relationship with the sudden appearance of the alien race. People really have no ability, nor There is no consciousness to avoid a foreigner who wants to appear in front of you. So, do you understand? (Referring to the Leapter High School Prom, regarding the death of Serena and Jackson, the death that Alice foresaw is already about to happen, and Eddie's brother, who is the Sabbat Toledo, is about to appear. moment in Leipte).
Before James could speak, Benjamin looked at Yuehua, "You said alien race, Lang died of alien race." As he spoke, his eyes had already fallen on Alice.
Alice nodded, "It's the Siren." Alice took a deep breath under Yuehua's smiling nod, "Lang didn't drive, but chose to wait for the bus. He might be going to the North District. We can't tell. Because the Siren. Well, the male Siren, it's like they knew Long was going to show up, and as soon as they met, he was seduced by the Siren's song."
Baiying interrupted, "If the death event started at this time - the scene we saw started with him being seduced to bypass the road and go to the Charles River, we wouldn't think there was anything special. We would just think that he was unlucky and was killed. , was attracted by the siren transformed by Papa Midnight."
Baiying turned away and looked at Lang's body, "Sirens rarely come close to land. According to their habits in the sea, plundering and killing, we don't think this is anything surprising. However, the death scene is from Lang Go to work and start. This is not just the Kraken's habitual plundering and killing. Lang's death is still because of the work he has to perform. The Kraken is just an executioner."
This is probably the longest sentence Baiying has ever said.
"..." James just mentioned it, probably preparing to express something strongly. Benjamin gave him a silencing gesture, pushed away impatiently, walked to the west wall of the basement, and put his ear against the wall.
No one knew what he was doing.
Benjamin frowned, "Can you speak louder? I won't use Alpha's skin in this basement!" It's too 'stinky'. Also, Benjamin shouted at the wall. What's on the other side of the wall? It's from Zach's basement. The sound insulation underground is much better than the sound insulation above ground.
Benjamin frowned and listened for a while, then turned to everyone who was looking at him, "Zach said that Blake mentioned something. Male sirens do still exist in the west, and they were involuntarily killed by Boy who was still at Quinn's house. Sen is in control.”
"So Fisher asked Lang to do some work outside of his job..." Mo seemed a little bored and said in a casual tone, "But before the work even started, Boyson, who lives in Quinn, asked the male Kill the Kraken.”
Mo pursed his lips and looked at the eyes pointed at her, especially James's gloomy eyes, "Why, isn't that the conclusion? Did I hear something wrong?"
"You didn't." Benjamin frowned and continued to face the wall, "Does this mean the commission is over?" He shouted.
No human ear could hear the sound coming into this basement. Benjamin's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he finally twitched his lips and stood away from the wall, "These things cannot be told to the client, Cody. We still need more information to find a version that can be told to Cody."
"I thought Cody's commission was to find out the truth. Huh, it's not a version he can accept." James managed to speak without being banned.
"Yes, and if I don't accept this commission, he will look for you." Benjamin glanced at James, "In addition to the truth, he also wants revenge. Now that I have done this for you, I will give you the credit. You go Tell Cody this and let him decide which one he wants to take revenge on: Fisher, his father, for giving Long extra work, or Boyson, Quinn's guest."
James' gloomy face twitched twice, "Zach taught you to say that."
"Yes." Benjamin didn't hide it and waved his hand, "Alice, get ready, I'm going to wait for the call from Mike in the church." Probably complaining in a bad mood, he whispered to himself as he left the basement, "More than an hour, why is it so slow?"
Yuehua and Baiying should stay here to help Alice, and also want to participate in Alice's work, but they still responded to Benjamin's self-reflection, "If we follow the conclusion just now, I don't think we should have any hope. Well, the devil probably didn’t get Lang’s soul at all, it’s in Boyson’s hands.”
Benjamin glanced at Yuehua and became even more irritated. (.)
