Zach is angry because Daisy is a liar? No. It’s a bit troublesome to explain, but the reason why our Zach can be angry cannot be simple, so let’s read on.
Let’s start with our vampires. It’s breakfast time now. Because there is an outsider like Daisy, the official statement is that Grande’s chef, Mo, has been experimenting with various cooking techniques for blood tofu these days, so Don't be picky and don't be surprised, you will eat this every time.
At this same time, Zach was about to reach the limit of his diet. Just when all the emotions began to be stirred up by the urge to eat and pushed in the bad direction, James 'cooperated' and broke out at the dining table. .
"What?!" James dropped the fork in his hand and stared at Zach, "Is what she (Daisy) said true?!"
Louise tried to ease it, but now that there was Daisy as an outsider at Grande’s table, Louise couldn’t give Zach a full glass of red wine openly this early in the morning, so all she could do was—“Mo, The blood tofu I made this time feels good, Zach, please try it."
After receiving this encouragement, Zach cut off a corner of the food on the plate, raised it, paused for a second, and then put it down. He simply stood up and looked at James, "How about we talk alone."
The instinct must be to refuse, but when the outburst of emotions met Zach's calm face, James forced himself to hold it back.
James still knows that Zach has the 'magical' ability to control every inch of his skin. This calmness is probably the highest form of hypocrisy. So, James stood up, walked out of the restaurant first, and went directly to the office.
Naturally, Zach turned into a gray shadow as soon as he disappeared from sight at the entrance of the restaurant. Passing by James, he arrived at the office first. He stopped showing off and continued to be hungry. He raised the bottle of wine and started drinking.
When James pushed the door open and entered, Zach turned back. The corners of her mouth were still bright red, and she smiled, "Sit down."
Taking back your peace is the highest form of hypocrisy. This is the smile.
"Don't smile at me!" James almost gritted his teeth. When the two were alone, Zach pretended to be a fool!
"Sorry." Zach casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "I'm used to it. This is the face I use to sort out my emotions. It usually happens when multiple emotions appear at the same time and I can't confirm which one I should feel." Zach Carrying the bottle of wine, he sat down behind the office. He still kept smiling, "You should know that vampires' emotions are amplified, and sometimes it's hard to tell which emotion should dominate their actions, so." He bared his teeth at James, stained with bright red Teeth, "Smile first, confirm it and then adopt the appropriate attitude. This is a good habit. You should learn it." Indeed.
But James obviously didn't want to learn and looked away. Waiting in silence. At the dinner table, he asked a question that had not yet been answered, right? He was waiting for an answer.
After about half a minute, Zach's smile disappeared. It turned into a frown, "Sure enough, I'm still angry."
James adjusted his sitting position.
"Don't worry." Zach waved his hand towards James, "It's not because of you."
"It should be because of me!" Don't worry if you don't know what's wrong with James, "How could you do such a thing! Right in front of me!"
"What did I do?" Zach still frowned. But he said it wasn’t because of James, just believe in Zach, “And what’s right in front of you, you probably didn’t know Grande had an extra guest until breakfast today, right? That Daisy, you only listened to her. Don’t you listen to my explanation? It’s not comprehensive at all and you only know the events one-sidedly, so you have to draw conclusions?”
"Why should I listen to what you say!" This is pure willfulness, but don't worry, only one-third of the wine bottles left on the desk tell us that James can now be as willful as he wants, and the 'full' Zach is very Tolerant, "She is Louise's friend, right! Her boyfriend Louise also knows him, right! Now the person is 'processed' by Smith! A possible murder just disappeared! What else do I need to be comprehensive!"
Note that there are all serious words here, such as murder and treatment, which may be different from what you think, so take your time.
Zach knocked on the table, "Calm down James." The frown relaxed a little, loosened by the daily helplessness facing James, "Louis and I lied to Daisy, and Smith didn't keep a low profile at all. What possible murders, follow my thoughts..." Zach raised his hand and waved it in front of James, "In Smith's mind, he just punished an employee who embezzled the group's property."
James' eyes were probably about to pop out, "Wha... what?"
"If there is a confirmed murder here, it was committed by Smith." Zach was very satisfied that James's mind had followed him, but he hadn't caught up yet. "Do you need to be surprised? What happened to Smith during the recording incident?" Dylan's death for what he felt was backstabbing his employees..."
"Stop!" James raised his arms and pushed his hands, "You, what did you say? It was Smith who burned Daisy's boyfriend to death in his bathroom..."
As I said, there is a deviation. Zach's explanation came.
"Of course not. Have you forgotten Smith's method of dealing with employees? How could such a 'dirty' scene like burning to death be Smith's style of doing things? Let me tell you exactly, Smith's method is very crisp and neat, one shot , packaged, recovered assets, and thrown into the Charles River.”
"What..." James was probably confused, "You, how do you know..."
"Mike told me last night." Zach shrugged. "Mike also told me that it took some time for the possessed demon to come back from the corpse sinking site, because when he came up, he was surrounded by sea monsters. It took some talking to persuade the sea monsters not to eat the corpse, and they might even fish it out."
James was probably thrown two blocks away by Zach's words, but as we know, James' only advantage is probably his persistence. He was trying hard to catch up, "Mai, Mike? Demon Mike?" "
"Do you know other 'Mike's who know the devil's movements?" Zach twitched his lips, "When we introduced her at the dinner table just now, you knew that Daisy was picked up from the church by Louise in the morning."
Finally there were words that James could understand. He nodded and quickly grabbed, "I know! Grande has no place to sleep. Yesterday Louise sent Daisy to the church to stay overnight!" James frowned and responded to the previous question. point, "That's why I just saw her this morning."
"Then, you can almost hear something wrong." Zach tilted his head, "Daisy said her boyfriend was burned to death, murder or not. Anyway, the body was dumped in the bathroom of his house." Zhan. Ms. followed so hard, so Zach took over. "But after receiving my notification, Smith went to deal with the funeral and killed the other person again. And in this case, no one was lying, because I Already told you, the devil is involved.”
After ten seconds of silence, James spoke, in a terrible tone. "Then you lied! You just told Daisy that his boyfriend's body was disposed of by Smith!..." James was stunned for a moment, and then his tone became even worse, "You lied to her in front of her that Smith was investigating her boyfriend. The cause of death! But it was actually Smith who killed him once... "
Zach interrupted and had to say, "Can you lower your voice?" Zach shook his head, "We know all Barton's drug-related things, and the boss is Smith. Daisy doesn't know, you are going to make a noise. Let this low-level woman know the secrets of the city's top class?"
James shut up. Likewise, he almost killed Daisy by relying on his voice.
And Zach wasn't done, "Smith didn't kill anyone, he murdered a demon-possessed corpse. I did lie to Daisy, but how do you think I'm going to tell the truth. A corpse will be a corpse, What Daisy saw when she left was a body, and it was a body that was disposed of and thrown into the Charles River by Smith's men. My lie expressed the truth."
"Fact?" James retorted in a low voice and gloomily, "You said her boyfriend's boss is investigating the cause of death! Fact?! Will Smith investigate the murder he committed!"
"Of course not." Zach raised his lips. It was regret, "This is just nonsense, just like the nonsense I tell people who come to the funeral home, 'My condolences, the dead cannot be resurrected.'" The corners of Zach's mouth raised, and he began to get closer to what he told everyone at the beginning. Zach was angry The starting point is, "My intention in saying this is to tell this woman that she can let go of this matter."
Zach replaced 'Daisy' with 'this woman', which explains something.
"But obviously, she's not ready to let it go!" James stared at Zach, "Otherwise, she wouldn't have 'reported' the crime to me!"
The reason for adding the quotation marks is - no one expects to just meet a police detective at the family dinner table and say to him, 'My boyfriend is dead, please check for me', which is considered a report!
James clenched his fists irritably, holding on to the armrests of the chair. His whole body was strangely skewed, and his eyes were scanning randomly without any target. This was a manifestation of the accumulation of annoyance to the extreme, "How should I deal with it?! If you don't Tell this..." He really gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words, "I only thought that Smith hid a body, and I was angry that you actually colluded with Smith to handle the murder privately in front of my eyes... "
The reason for James' outburst at the dinner table. Can you understand that Zach did this kind of thing secretly while demanding justice from James? The reason still holds true.
"But now, I, I..." There were probably too many questions, and he locked his gaze on Zach, "Why would the devil possess the corpse?! Does the devil know how that person died! I want to know everything!"
"All of them?" Zach nodded and asked first, "I haven't asked yet, what is the result of the identification of the floating corpse? Is it Boyson? Also, has Chapman confessed anything to you?"
Reluctantly, "Yes, Chapman also told me that Crowley asked..."
Zach answered quickly, and it didn't matter if James' personal complaints were ignored, "The person who was burned to death was the person who first discovered the floating corpse. The devil in Smith's warehouse, in addition to using the report of the security guard at night, tried to figure out the 'interruption' In addition to knowing the identity of the floating corpse who delivered the goods, he also sent a demon to keep an eye on this guy just in case, lest he himself saw this case appear in the news and accidentally let it slip. In the end, it was the delivery that would be affected. of Smith Industries.”
Seeing James' efforts to keep up, Zach continued—
"Then the combustion happened." Zach narrowed his eyes and glanced at James, as if to remind him, "Spontaneous combustion, from the inside out." Then turned away, "The demons who followed had to avoid it temporarily, because this This kind of spontaneous combustion comes from the punishment of the law. Things that should not appear in a certain place appear there in violation of the law. This punishment is absolute, and the devil does not want to be affected."
James' mind was confused again.
Zach was no clearer than he was. "If I had to guess, when Daisy went to find her boyfriend, the death was still fresh, and the devil hadn't had time to go back and cover up the scene." Zach paused, looking at the corners of his eyes. Twitching, back to what makes vampires angry, "Then this woman who had seen a possible murder scene came running to Grande, and Ben prepared a lie to trick the innocent undertaker into doing the discovery. of people…”
The negative emotions of vampires are definitely not just sudden, but accumulated—
"But she found out that Louise was here unexpectedly, and she told the truth temporarily. For the sake of Louise calling her a friend, I gave her a chance and notified Smith to deal with it." After a pause, "The purpose of calling the police without following the rules is to protect Daisy and not expose her as the first person found at the scene." Can this logic be reversed? If the funeral home reports the crime, the funeral home must tell the police who asked them to pick up the body. Yes.
But Louise and Daisy are friends, and Louise obviously can't let her friend who is rarely found alive escape again. If she wants to keep Daisy and provide protection when she still doesn't know whether murder is actually committed, she can't let her exposed.
What? You said you would report the crime anonymously. Haha, now that the 'red' Detective James Lance of the North District Police Department goes back to Grande to sleep every day, this anonymity is a joke. It's okay to let James use his personal affairs for public use, but don't even think about using them for public and private matters. Daisy is not a foreigner. James' principles are there. It has nothing to do with foreigners. The detective's bottom line is not blurry at all.
"That's all you need to know. You can be angry about it, I don't care." Zach waved his hand, "Because I have confirmed one thing now. My kindness was used on the wrong person." Zach knocked on the table again, "Louise, are you listening? I don't like you as a friend."
Louise was listening, and in the restaurant on the first floor, she reluctantly pretended to be calm to her friends, "It's okay, they might be discussing how to help you investigate, haha." While hiding her true emotions, she replied softly. A knock on the table.
"I don't want to talk about her behavior and words anymore." Zach seemed to have completely ignored James across from him. "You know how she described Grande from yesterday to just now, and you also heard how she said Speak to James, she doesn't deserve our care."
Is anyone curious what happened
"We are going to send this guest away." Zach knocked on the table again, "Louise, get ready."
Explain it later when you get rid of the guest who made Zach angry. Soon. (.)
